Secret Buyer

Chapter 575 - 350: A Night with the Celestial Maiden, Causes and Effects of All Things!

The lake water seemed to come alive, transforming into a heavenly curtain of water, completely isolating the inside and outside of the pavilion,

A thousand colorful koi fish swim through the water curtain, their tail fins sweeping past, splashing delicate water droplets, refracting seven colors under the moonlight, akin to a stunningly beautiful painting.

The Six Desires Celestial Maiden’s alluring eyes lay soft like silk, yet her complexion was slightly pale, her voice tender with an almost imperceptible tremor:

"Sir, you seem to have quite a refined interest..."

The tone elongated, soft and accompanied by a subtle nasal sound, echoing within the water curtain.

The water curtain surrounding the small pavilion gently rippled, stirring layers of waves.

Ancient legends say, when a carp jumps over the dragon gate, it can transform into a dragon and soar to the heavens.

Now, a thousand koi surround the water curtain, blending with the moonlight, dancing gracefully, as if part of a grand fish-dragon dance,

Add the evening breeze weaving through the forest, brushing against the bamboo in the courtyard, creating a soft rustle, reminiscent of a melodious tune, harmonizing with the movements of the koi.

Fish and dragon dance, the wind whispers through the emerald forest.

.........

Morning.

A hint of daybreak appeared in the east, the first light of dawn piercing through the mist, spilling over the small pavilion in the heart of the lake.

Zhang Fusheng remained seated cross-legged on the pavilion seat, eyes closed, breathing long and steady, like an old monk in meditation, unmoving,

The Six Desires Celestial Maiden sat cross-legged on top of him, now struggling to lift herself up, her jade face showing a pallor, yet with an unusual blush.

She donned a robe of moon-white, her gaze resting on the young man, not shifting for a long time.

As she gazed, she suddenly became somewhat entranced, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes—Zhang Fusheng’s aura was surging at an incredible speed!

This wasn’t just a simple surge in cultivation,

his aura around him was becoming increasingly harmonious, increasingly perfect,

as if yin and yang converged, as if Cause and Effect stood side by side!

Time ticked away, in the blink of an eye, the sun reached high noon,

The midday sun pierced through the water curtain, scattering golden light, yet the hemp-robed youth remained still, his aura growing increasingly vast and majestic,

The Six Desires Celestial Maiden’s sense of astonishment grew stronger.

At first, Zhang Fusheng’s aura, though profound, had a visible boundary, but now his aura was as expansive as the starry sky, utterly without end!

The Six Desires Celestial Maiden licked her slightly dry lips, her expression becoming incredibly complex. Fellow... hmph!

She turned away, no longer looking at the young man, her gaze falling on the thousand koi swimming within the water curtain,

Upon closer inspection, she suddenly discovered that the scales of these koi had undergone a tremendous change—not ordinary fish scales anymore.

They were dragon scales.

"Did last night’s yin-yang breath allow them to evolve?"

The ethereal woman murmured to herself, her fingertips lightly tracing the water curtain, her eyes flickering.

She looked at them one by one, and saw on each koi’s forehead, a faint protrusion, their forms now several times bulkier than before, clearly showing signs of transforming into flood dragons.

"It seems some good fortune has come your way... considered a stroke of providence."

The Six Desires Celestial Maiden sighed lightly, flicked her jade fingers, releasing a wisp of pure divine essence into the water curtain,

A thousand koi scrambled to devour it, their scales becoming increasingly dazzling.

Given their current circumstances, within ten years at most, they can awaken intelligence, and the future achievement of becoming divine flood dragons is merely a matter of time.

But...

"Will they remember things before they gained intelligence after transforming into flood dragons?"

"Will they recall the creation of that night?"

The Six Desires Celestial Maiden’s cheeks blushed slightly, her eyes somewhat hazy, lost in thought.

However, at this moment——

"Roar——!"

A deep and mighty dragon’s roar suddenly erupted within the water curtain, shaking the entire pavilion!

The Six Desires Celestial Maiden suddenly jolted awake, following the sound, her face shocked in an instant——she saw within the water curtain, a koi with a golden body shedding its scales, transforming into a true dragon!

Dragon horns majestic, dragon whiskers floating.

It’s not a flood dragon, it’s transforming into a dragon!

A true dragon!

"How is this possible?!" she exclaimed in disbelief.

These koi, even if they absorbed the yin-yang breath mingled last night, at most could become flood dragons in a century,

To transform into dragons would require at least a millennium, accompanied by extraordinary fortune!

Yet the koi before her eyes had, in a single night, transcended a thousand years, directly transforming into a dragon?

The Six Desires Celestial Maiden rubbed her eyes, still finding it hard to believe, as she watched the true dragon spiraling and dancing within the water curtain, her mind excited when she heard a gentle voice suddenly by her ear.

"Nothing is impossible."

She turned her gaze, and saw the hemp-robed youth had unknowingly awakened.

Zhang Fusheng slowly stood up, his robe fluttering, calmly speaking:

"The Dao of Cause and Effect, originates in beginnings, results in ends."

"The Cause of All Results is the beginning of everything, the result of all causes is the end of everything... I’ve merely brought the ’result’ within Cause and Effect to arrive early."

The Six Desires Celestial Maiden spoke in a dazed and puzzled manner:

"Sir, what does this mean?"

She watched as the youth nodded with a smile and then extended his fingers, softly pointing towards the water curtain:

"It’s nothing, except thanks to you, I’ve grasped some of the characteristics of the Cause of All Results....."

Before his voice fell, the moment his fingertip descended, immense power suddenly swept out, enveloping the entire water curtain!

That power was vast, containing grand mystery,

A thousand koi within the water curtain twisted violently, their bodies began to swell madly, scales shedding, dragon horns growing, dragon roars echoed through the skies!

This was not a gradual transformation, but a leap transcending time and space!

The future result arrived early, preemptively manifested!

Thus.

A thousand koi scattered clean.

Replaced by a thousand dragons swimming, dragon roars boomed!

The Six Desires Celestial Maiden dazedly rubbed her eyes.
