Bank of The Universe

Chapter 402: For Ideals

Sword God and Old Man Tianchi fought side by side. They worked together to kill a bunch of celestials. Then, Sword God died and Old Man Tianchi closed the Celestial Gate himself, hiding the key at Heaven Mountain.

Now, Sword God was able to live on due to Bank of the Universe while Old Man Tianchi was totally dead. This was why Sword God was in a bad mood.

Dong dong dong!

Li Xiandao reached out and knocked onto the Sword God’s tomb.

“Since you are feeling bad, then come out to talk.” Li Xiandao said.

Soil fell off and the coffin was revealed. Sword God walked out from within.

He was really in a bad mood but since it was Li Xiandao, he had no choice but to receive him.

“The Bank’s master seems to be in a good mood?” Sword God forced a smile and asked.

“Let me show you something.” Li Xiandao smiled. He didn’t say the reason why he felt good but he just took out something.

A key!

A special key!

When Sword God saw that, he was stunned, “This is...”

“Old Man Tianchi closed the Celestial Gate and this is the key to open it.” Li Xiandao smiled.

“How did it end up in your hands?” Sword God was stunned.

“Old Man Tianchi’s junior brother passed this to me, so I am now the owner of the key.” Li Xiandao said.

Sword God took a look at the key and was really surprised. It was like he was carrying a baby. He was in a daze.

“Do you know?” Sword God suddenly looked towards Li Xiandao.

“What?” Li Xiandao asked.

“Old Man Tianchi and I, as well as all our friends, do you know what our wish was?” Sword God asked Li Xiandao.

Li Xiandao shook his head.

Zhao Wuji frowned and it was like he had thought about something.

“Our wish is for the Celestial World people not to look down on us.” Sword God said firmly.

“Celestial World looks down on the Nine Skies?” Li Xiandao asked curiously.

“Of course, people like us who fly up and enter the Celestial World need to be workers, digging mines, being slaves, etc...” Sword God said with rage.

“Your talents will be tested and those who don’t reach the mark will be sent to the border and to work for 1,000 years before being freed.” Sword God’s gaze was filled with rage.

“What kind of talent meets the mark?” Li Xiandao asked curiously.

“Talent is split into 10 grades. The first grade is the highest and the tenth is the lowest. People who have reached the fifth grade just pass and don’t need to be coolies.” Sword God said coldly.

“So, if you reach grade five, then will you be able to have a normal life?” Zhao Wuji asked.

He didn’t enter Celestial World when he was at his peak and just beat all the experts in the Nine Skies and Ten Lands. He was unwilling to step out towards the Celestial World until he died for some reason and a part of his soul came to the Bank of the Universe.

As he didn’t enter Celestial World he was not far from the entrance of the Legacy Hall.

“No.” Sword God shook his head and interrupted Zhao Wudi’s thoughts.

“Celestial World is cold and cruel. The law of the jungle is even more dangerous there than in the Nine Skies and Ten Lands. Although they have many resources, after so many years of development, their statuses have recovered. It is impossible for normal people to make a comeback.” Sword God sighed and said with a heavy tone.

“Enter Celestial World, test talent, those who don’t reach grade five will have a tragic life. Those who do will be forced to hand out their souls and then enter an army to be a small soldier. If they dare to flee, their souls will be crushed.” Sword God made it sound really cruel and it made both Li Xiandao and Zhao Wuji silent.

They spent so much effort cultivating, flying into Celestial World and what they saw wasn’t perfection but ice-cold cruelty.

People of the Nine Skies had no right. An arm was always weaker than a leg. Moreover, people from the Nine Skies and Ten Lands couldn’t even be considered arms.

“So, Old Man Tianchi and I fled back and offended that faction. He sent people to kill us and we fought back. It was a bloody battle and it resulted in many deaths. I died then but I didn’t expect that Old Man Tianchi and the others would have the strength to close the Celestial Gate.” Sword God was impressed.

Old Man Tianchi’s move was perfect. He sliced apart the relationship between Celestial World and the Nine Skies and Ten Lands. Even if they looked down on them, they weren’t able to disturb them.

If the Celestial Gate was not opened, Celestial World wouldn’t be able to interfere in Nine Skies and Ten Lands matters.

“Bank Master, since you got the key, what are you planning to do?” Sword God looked at Li Xiandao and asked nervously.

Li Xiandao thought about it, “In the future, I will open the Celestial Gate.”

Sword God was shocked, “Why will you do that?”

“Once it is opened, people from Celestial World can come down when they want. Although their strength won’t be able to exceed the limit of the Nine Skies and Ten Lands, once there are many of them, it will still be quite terrifying. Nine Skies and Ten Lands would end up in their rule once more.” Sword God said anxiously.

He didn’t want Li Xiandao to do something foolish.

Li Xiandao smiled and said with a firm gaze, “Since I want to open up the Celestial Gate, I won’t let them do any nonsense. I would like to see who dares come down when I have a sword in hand?”

Li Xiandao was confident in his strength. He also didn’t want Nine Skies and Ten Lands to be separated from Celestial World for too long. Closing Celestial Gate was so as to prevent Nine Skies and Ten Lands from being threatened but that also meant that fewer people flew up. Thus, one could only go through the tribulation to head up.

Over these years, not many people flew up.

This was not good news.

The channel to improvement had been broken. That was really cruel for cultivators.

As for Celestials causing problems in the Nine Skies and Ten Lands?

Li Xiandao didn’t care. When the time came he would still be here.

Li Xiandao told his considerations to Sword God and once he heard it, he thought about it, “You must ensure that you are the strongest.”

Li Xiandao smiled confidently, “Do you think I won’t be?”

Sword God had nothing to say.

When he thought about Li Xiandao’s terrifying learning speed, that terrifying sword technique and his terrifying talent.

For some reason, he had much more confidence in Li Xiandao.

“I will help you.” Sword God said firmly and passed the key back to Li Xiandao.

He knew that he couldn’t persuade Li Xiandao and opening the gate was Li Xiandao’s plan. He could only support him.

Li Xiandao took the key and said, “You are very helpful to me. Pass all your dao attainments to me and also those of Emperor Realm.”

Sword God finally smiled, “No problem, I can pass everything to you.”

To fulfill Li Xiandao’s wishes, the Celestial Gate would be opened, allowing the celestial path to be unobstructed. Sword God could give up everything so no one could come down.

“Since you are thinking for Nine Skies and Ten Lands, I can also pass all my dao attainments to you.” Zhao Wudi followed. He was someone from Nine Skies and Ten Lands and had huge gratitude towards this land.

“And us too.” The priest and Zhong Baishen’s soul forms also came here. They looked at one another and smiled.
