Chapter 173: Find You In The Morning, Find Him In The Afternoon
Li Xiandao slowly sucked out Tian Heng’s lifespan.
He couldn’t do it too quickly.
Tian Heng was badly injured and his cultivation had been sealed. If Li Xiandao did it too fast, Tian Heng could die on the spot.
Li Xiandao would become a killer and he would be going against the Bank of the Universe’s rules and would be punished for it.
Li Xiandao was really careful as he sucked out the lifespan bit by bit. He did it really slowly, fully focused.
Tian Heng’s change was visible. His hair was now a mix of black and white. His features went from young and handsome to slightly older.
Tian Heng met the Wen Family Little Miss when he was 17. They fell in love and were exposed when they were 20. At that point, his cultivation was at Countless Sands Stage 18.
Even in Eternal Land, to reach such a cultivation at 20 meant that he was a genius. The key was that Tian Heng didn’t have any resources and relied solely on himself.
In the next 10 years, Tian Heng fought valiantly, breaking through from Countless Sands Realm to Transcendent Realm.
He went from stage one to ten!
He was just one step away from Human Celestial Realm!
But this step was interrupted by the Feather Transformation God Dynasty’s Crown Prince. He was captured and locked up, whipped daily, and tortured.
If he dressed up, he would look youthful and handsome.
But now, his hair was white and he looked like a 40-year-old man. After 10,000 years of lifespan was taken from him, his body was suffering badly.
Luckily, Li Xiandao was really gentle and Tian Heng wasn’t too badly hurt.
“You are just 30 and at your peak which is why you have 18,000 years of lifespan. Now that I have taken 10,000 years and although you look older, because of my skilfulness, your foundations haven’t been hurt.” Li Xiandao reached out to tell Seven to take a box to store the lifespan in.
Tian Heng knew that his foundations weren’t hurt, otherwise, things wouldn’t be so simple for him now. He was really grateful. “Thank you!”
“There’s no need to thank me. You can enter the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository and there are many books in there that can allow you to comprehend the Dao. The Bank of the Universe has thick spiritual energy for you to break through. Once you do, you can leave the Bank of the Universe.” Li Xiandao wiped his hands with a jade silk hankerchief as he looked at the weak Tian Heng.
“Okay.” That was the only thing that Tian Heng said.
“Seven, bring him to the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository. There is something I have to deal with.” Li Xiandao ordered.
Seven nodded and brought Tian Heng away.
Li Xiandao took the jade box after Seven left. He looked at the lifespan within and his eyes lit up.
“Watch, find someone who has large amounts of God Spirit Meridian and wants lifespan!” Li Xiandao went behind Seven to order a watch. The demands were really high and it wasn’t easy to find such a customer.
Li Xiandao wasn’t in a rush and knew that he would definitely be able to find it. God Spirit Meridians were expensive in Dali Land and Ancient Desolate Land but it was different in Eternal Land.
Moreover, Eternal Land was connected to the other lands and wasn’t alone. It was huge and the population was high, so there were definitely people who were suitable for Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao looked at the 10,000 years of lifespan within and shook his head. “It is possible to use it to cultivate, but I don’t want to break through so quickly. I haven’t absorbed all of the priest’s Dao.”
Li Xiandao accepted Tian Heng’s mission to wipe out the Wen Family. The first thing he did was sense where Tian Ya was.
Tian Ya hadn’t been found and was living well. Li Xiandao wasn’t too worried about her.
He kept it and didn’t pass it to Seven. He then informed the watch, “Inform only me and no one else when you find the guest!”
The watch accepted the order and followed it accordingly.
Only then was Li Xiandao satisfied and he came to the Legacy Hall.
He had just fully understood the priest and his current accumulated learnings were enough for him to break through. If he bothered now, he could reach a high realm.
But Li Xiandao was not satisfied
He felt like he could aim higher.
Moreover, the priest was able to use so much of the Dao in the same realm that he was.
Li Xiandao felt like he hadn’t reached his limit.
If the priest knew what Li Xiandao was thinking, he would definitely curse him.
“I know so much because I accumulated it over so long. At your realm, I don’t even know 1% of what you do.”
Unfortunately, Li Xiandao didn’t consider that point.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t think about it but that he didn’t want to think about it.
After arriving in Eternal Land, Li Xiandao felt like he was weak, very very weak…
Especially since his cultivation wasn’t at Human Celestial Realm.
One must know that Human Celestial wasn’t the ceiling of Eternal Land. There were some old monsters that would force Li Xiandao to hide in the Bank of the Universe if he met them.
Just thinking about it made Li Xiandao feel really threatened.
He felt like he needed to cultivate the Big River Sword Energy and Slaying the Heavens well. Then, he would just slowly accumulate.
Only when he reached the limit would he try to break through.
This was because Li Xiandao hadn’t fought someone in the same realm as him in Eternal Land and didn’t know what the strength outside was like.
The only person of the same level of strength he could fight was the priest.
Till now, Li Xiandao hadn’t even won once.
This gave Li Xiandao a feeling like he was really weak.
He used Big River Sword Energy, Slaying the Heavens, and numerous sword skills from the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository and he couldn’t beat the priest. He wasn’t even able to injure him…
He was just too weak?
Li Xiandao felt really anxious at how weak he was.
What he didn’t know was that each time Li Xiandao left, the remnant spirit of the priest would curse, “Your sword energy nearly forced me to use a portion of the Dao of a Celestial. How can you be so strong at peak Transcendent Realm?”
Just like that, Li Xiandao who felt like he was weak and a priest that felt like Li Xiandao was overpowered met once more.
The priest opened his own coffin and laid inside. He silently bathed in the sun and closed his eyes in exhaustion.
This was his only hobby.
Moreover, the sun was helpful in recovering his energy.
Who knew that a black shadow would block him?
The priest opened his eyes unhappily and saw Li Xiandao. He was so frightened that his body shook and he blinked his eyes.
“Why are you here again?” The priest looked at Li Xiandao in despair.
He had always tried to keep a calm demeanor.
This despair really came from the bottom of his heart.
Once a day was good. It was enough for you and enough for me.
Why did you have to come so many times a day? I will really have no more Dao to use.
“I didn’t come here to fight with you. I know that you are a remnant soul and once a day is your limit. I am finding someone else but I saw that you were bathing in the sun, so I came to say hi.” Li Xiandao said.
“Go on, there is a really strong guy ahead. He has learned a lot about the Dao, much more than me. Go on, there is no need to say hi to me.” The priest nearly jumped out. Was he sick of him and wanted to find someone else?
That was a good thing!
If Li Xiandao wasn’t in front of him, the priest would have laughed out loud.
The priest was finally about to stop being used as a tool.
“Good, I shall find him. I will find you in the morning and him in the afternoon.” Li Xiandao nodded his head and left.
The priest’s face froze…
