Chapter 314: Sword God’s Sadness
Murong Longcheng returned to Heaven Mountain holding a contract in his hands.
Heaven Heart had been waiting. When he saw Murong Longcheng’s sudden appearance, he asked curiously, “What is the situation now?”
“From now onward, we are one family.” Murong Longcheng said simply. The pressure on him was gone and he felt really relaxed.
“Master took you in?” Heaven Heart was shocked.
“Eh, Master also told me to let you bring 10,000 top-grade Spiritual Energy Dragon Veins back.” Murong Longcheng said.
“Congratulations on becoming Master’s subordinate.” Heaven Heart congratulated him. To him, it was a huge blessing to become Li Xiandao’s subordinate. The benefits were just innumerable.
Murong Longcheng smiled and nodded his head, “I will go take out 10,000 Spiritual Energy Dragon Veins for you to bring back to Master.”
“Okay.” Heaven Heart nodded. When he heard that Murong Longcheng was Master’s subordinate, he became much warmer.
Since he was Master’s subordinate, they were one family and they were just serving Master.
Murong Longcheng and Heaven Heart started to collect the Spiritual Energy Dragon Veins. Along the way, they let some of the monsters and experts sign their names as well as form spirit seals on the contracts.
Murong Longcheng’s honor and prestige in Heaven Mountain wasn’t to be doubted. The moment he said something, others would just do it without even asking.
After all, Murong Longcheng was the biggest reason for Heaven Mountain’s development to its current state. If they didn’t follow Murong Longcheng’s rules, they would have been chased out long ago.
In just a day, Murong Longcheng completed the contract and the Spiritual Energy Dragon Veins matter. He handed both to Heaven Heart for him to bring back.
“Hand these to Master. I will wait for his orders on Heaven Mountain.” Murong Longcheng said.
“Don’t worry.” Heaven Heart drew the space crossing seal and rushed towards Ten Thousand Spirit Holy Land.
….
Within the Bank of the Universe, Legacy Hall headed towards Legacy Hall after Murong Longcheng left.
He didn’t come here to spar.
In truth, he had sucked all of Zhao Wuji, Zhong Baishen, Sword God, and the priest’s Boundless Realm dao attainments.
There was nothing more for him to absorb.
He actually came to find Sword God.
He really wanted to ask whether or not the battle where Sword God died was real?
Seeing Li Xiandao walk towards his tomb and stop, Sword God’s heart shook, “Why are you here?”
Sword God saw Li Xiandao and his legs went soft. He was afraid.
“Bank Master, you can’t keep abusing the four of us, right?” Sword God was helpless.
“I didn’t come here to comprehend Dao Attainments. I have something to ask you.” Li Xiandao said calmly.
“What?” Sword God heaved a sigh of relief. It was great that he was here to ask things and not spar.
“How did you die in the end?” Li Xiandao asked.
“Why are you asking this?” Sword God coughed and he didn’t want to reply to that question.
“I just got the key to Celestial Gate and I heard about things from 10,000 years ago.” Li Xiandao said.
Sword God’s expression changed as he stared at Li Xiandao solemnly, “Key to Celestial Gate?”
“Right, the Celestial Gate was locked by someone and the key was taken. Without it, the gate wouldn’t open and it would be difficult for people from the Celestial World to come down.” Li Xiandao nodded his head.
“He did it, Old Man Tianchi really did it; he closed the Celestial Gate.” Sword God had a weird expression and he muttered both with sadness and emotion.
Li Xiandao looked on and he was sure that Murong Longcheng was right. Sword God participated in that battle and he had probably died when they killed the Celestials.
“Master of the Bank, do you know how Old Man Tianchi is now?” Sword God asked eagerly.
“He died.” Li Xiandao’s eyes drooped and he said solemnly.
Sword God closed his eyes and he sighed, “The heavens really are jealous of geniuses. Old Man Tianchi is so talented and killed a Celestial when he was in the Nine Skies. He was just born in the wrong place. If he was born in the Celestial World, he would be extremely famous.”
Sword God’s only brother was Old Man Tianchi.
The two of them knew each other when they were young. They went through troubles, drank wine together, fought together, went to brothels together, flew to Celestial World together, killed Celestials together…
They did many things together. Sword God really respected Old Man Tianchi’s talent and he said that only 10 of him could compare to one of his fingers.
He was the top supporter of Old Man Tianchi!
But now, Sword God had a bit of his soul left while Old Man Tianchi was totally gone.
Before dying, Old Man Tianchi did something completely unprecedented.
Since Nine Skies and Ten Lands and Celestial World were separated and the situation had changed, no one managed to close the Celestial Gate.
But Old Man Tianchi did it alone. He broke the path for Celestial World people to come down and for a full 30,000 years, no one opened it before.
Li Xiandao asked curiously, “After entering the Celestial World what happened such that both of you decided to head out?”
“The first thing we did was meet the Heaven Court Law Enforcement Team. They wanted to enslave everyone who flew up for 100 years and those who didn’t want to be slaves had to join the Heaven Court and sign a contract for 3,000 years. Anyone who resisted would be killed.” Sword God was annoyed.
He didn’t want to sign the contract, so he killed many people out of rage.
Sword God was at his peak then and with one sword he killed so many people. No one expected him to have such strength right after he flew up.
Sword God fled back to Nine Skies and worked with Old Man Tianchi to kill all those from Celestial World Heaven Court who came back down.
That fight was really intense and both sides lost many people. To stop them from escaping, Sword God sacrificed his life to hold them back and he perished together with them.
The difference was that a bit of his soul made its way to the Bank of the Universe.
Old Man Tianchi really died.
“Heaven Court is really overbearing.” Li Xiandao muttered.
“They are bullies in the Celestial World and no one can take advantage of them.” Sword God shook his head and sat down. He laid on his own tomb and looked forwards restlessly.
“Life and death are normal. You are already dead and you were lucky to survive, so don’t be too sad.” Li Xiandao knew that Sword God missed Old Man Tianchi.
“Master of the Bank, let me be alone. You made me think about things that I had long forgotten. I need some time to think.” Sword God sighed.
“Okay, I shall leave.” Li Xiandao nodded his head. He respected Sword God’s wishes and left.
After he left, Sword God teared up. He raised his head and looked into the sky. Who knew what he was thinking about?
