Bank of the Universe

Chapter 139 - Zhao Wuji



Chapter 139: Zhao Wuji

Explosion!

After Seven paid 100,000 years of lifespan, one more mountain peak appeared in the Bank of the Universe.

This was a mountain with a very layered feeling to it.

The mountain peak stood tall. From the top to the bottom, it was slanted down like a stream of water.

On this mountain, there would be a tomb every so often, a fixed distance apart.

Li Xiandao stood in front of the Trading Hall and was able to see the new mountain clearly.

Maybe all the tombs contained the souls of the experts that Legacy Hall had collected throughout the years.

Seven walked over to Li Xiandao and asked, “Would you like to go over and take a look?”

Li Xiandao nodded his head. “Yes.”

“I recommend you walk up from the bottom level and talk to them one by one. It will be much faster than if you were to cultivate yourself in the Time Hall.” Seven reminded Li Xiandao.

Li Xiandao knew that each and every one of them were all extremely strong people.

Even if he had the all-knowing talent and could peer into 10,000 years of time, spending 500 years in the Time Hall alone was still less efficient than speaking to these people once.

There were many things that couldn’t be solved with just hard work and effort alone.

You needed someone to open a window for you, to let the first glimmer of light shine in. Only then could you see the light.

Li Xiandao said to Seven, “From now on, I shall have a good chat with them. Help me manage the Bank of the Universe and don’t call me unless there are new guests.”

Seven nodded her head and looked on as Li Xiandao left. She muttered, “Work hard. The all-knowing talent is so unbelievable and your potential is limitless. Persist!”

….

Legacy Hall was different from the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository and Time Hall.

The Time Hall stood tall on the peak of the mountain.

The Ten Thousand Country Book Depository was a book depository built into an entire mountain.

Legacy Hall was at the foot of the mountain, an unassuming hall without any of the normal things you would expect to see in a hall.

Like tables, chairs, curtains, windows etc…

There were only two doors at the front and the back where the sun would shine in. In the Legacy Hall, there were many paper kites hanging down from the ceiling.

They hung down from above such that when Li Xiandao raised his head, he could see them all.

This place had both beautiful paper kits and also light filled with hope. The two of them combining with one another gave Li Xiandao a sense of loneliness.

That was because they were the only things left.

The paper kites were complaining to the sunlight…

Li Xiandao walked out of the hall and saw the snaking mountain path. After just a short walk, he saw the first tomb.

It was the tomb of the War God, Zhao Wudi.

Li Xiandao thought about it. He had seen many historical records of him in the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository.

“The Invincible War God from 30,000 years ago. With one spear, he made the Nine Skies and Ten Lands bow down to him.” Li Xiandao muttered.

“I didn’t expect my reputation to still be so strong after so many years.” A melancholic voice rang out in Li Xiandao’s ears.

Li Xiandao’s expression didn’t change. He turned around and saw a phantom.

Zhao Wudi!

Even if he was a phantom, one could tell that he had been extremely strong in the past. He had a burly build, and was dressed really simply in just hemp clothes and canvas shoes.

“Many records mention you.” Li Xiandao nodded his head and said.

“You are the new owner of the Bank of the Universe?” Zhao Wudi asked.

Li Xiandao nodded his head and looked at him. “Can I even catch your eye?”

“You are at least stronger than the last one!” Zhao Wudi was quite satisfied. Even if the person standing in front of him was handicapped or mentally challenged, he would still think he was stronger than the last owner.

Li Xiandao smiled. “Seems like I am decent.”

“Do you know what happened after the last owner came to Legacy Hall to find me?” Zhao Wudi asked.

Li Xiandao thought about it. With the personality of the last owner, what kind of thing could have possibly happened?

“Did he dig out your tomb?” Li Xiandao joked.

Zhao Wudi was shocked and said, “How do you know?”

Li Xiandao exclaimed, “He really did that?”

Zhao Wudi nodded his head with a cold smile.

“It seems like you have a good understanding of him, otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to guess that.”

Li Xiandao was speechless. Why did that owner dig up someone’s tomb for no reason?

“I am suffering greatly cleaning up the mess he left behind. I am just helping to wipe his ass whereever I go.” Li Xiandao was annoyed.

“That dog messed about everyday and finally died. The only unfortunate thing was that he almost destroyed the Bank of the Universe.” Zhao Wudi said with much regret.

“Without destruction, there will be no construction. My goal is to build up the Bank of the Universe and restore it to its former glory.” Li Xiandao said firmly.

“Not bad, you have ambition. Do you want to learn spear techniques from me?” Zhao Wudi praised Li Xiandao’s attitude and took the initiative to propose.

Li Xiandao shook his head and said, “I don’t want to learn your spear technique, but your Dao!”

Li Xiandao’s cultivation method was different. Even when he cultivated the Big River Sword, he didn’t follow the initial technique and instead tried to explore and create his own sword technique.

Although his sword technique was still mostly that of the Big River Sword, there was still a huge difference between them.

This was because Li Xiandao didn’t like to follow the status quo. He cultivated really quickly and would often take three steps forwards before taking a look at the path he was walking on. If he took the wrong path, he wouldn’t change and would continue on the wrong path.

This was why Li Xiandao modified the Big River Sword Energy a lot.

The original Big River Sword Energy didn’t have a sword soul, but Li Xiandao felt like his sword path was one that merged with that of heaven and earth, so his sword soul would have to as well.

As a result, Li Xiandao didn’t like blindly following the techniques of others. He just needed people to give him advice at the crucial moment.

Zhao Wudi looked at Li Xiandao with praise in his eyes. “You are really ambitious. I will let you see my Dao!”

Zhao Wudi flicked with his finger and accurately hit the area between Li Xiandao’s eyebrows.

Hong!

Li Xiandao didn’t try to block it. His soul instantly fell into an empty space.

Zhao Wudi held a spear in this space and gave off an unparalleled aura. He was of the same cultivation realm as Li Xiandao and started to attack him.

Li Xiandao didn’t say anything, forming an illusionary sword to battle agianst Zhao Wudi.

This was a mental battle and Li Xiandao’s body was still standing in front of Zhao Wudi’s tomb on the outside.

Behind him, Zhao Wudi’s phantom had disappeared.

In the empty space, Li Xiandao used the Big River Sword Energy at full force. At the same time, he was trying to absorb and learn Zhao Wudi’s Dao.

The many books he saw in the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository started to appear, making him split his attention into three to comprehend all of them.

This was the terrifying all-knowing talent.

After fighting with Zhao Wudi for 15 minutes, Li Xiandao understood his Dao completely and absorbed the portion that was suitable for himself. After which, he defeated Zhao Wudi and ended the battle.

In the outside world, Li Xiandao opened his eyes. Many bits of complicated infomation surged in and only after a long while did he finally calm back down.

Zhao Wudi said, “Your talent is really terrifying. You have already sucked me dry. You should find someone else, I have to rest now.”

Li Xiandao looked towards the other tombs and walked forwards.
