Bank of The Universe

Chapter 169: Green Is Clean But Love Corrupted It

Qiu Bai looked at the Northern Region Lord and started to describe her past.

While she was speaking, Northern Region Lord didn’t interrupt. He was just being a quiet listener.

The candle flames swayed in the night wind, casting a very long shadow of Northern Region Lord onto the ground...

The story was really long!

The story was also really twisted!

Northern Region Lord listened and clenched his fists. He was expressionless like a wooden statue.

When he heard about what happened between Ling Ren and his father, the Northern Region Lord closed his eyes.

When he heard how his father was just playing with her, he opened his eyes and a sharp light shone out of them!

Now, everything made sense.

Why did his father lock him up for 30 years?

Why did Ling Ren reject him coldly and choose to waste her life away?

His father was the person behind it all!

Shameless!

His actions were just despicable. The Northern Region Lord was a learned person and he was filled with emotions.

No wonder Qiu Bai wanted him to be mentally prepared. Even if he was prepared, he was still caught off guard.

He had heard of what happened next and thus he could accept it.

But...

But what he didn’t expect was that Ling Ren had slept with the entire Feather Transformation God Dynasty royal family.

This...

The Northern Region Lord just sat there and didn’t say a single word.

After Qiu Bai was finished, she felt heartpained for him. She took out a green handkerchief and passed it to him.

He looked at it and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Qiu Bai said, “Green is health. It is the brightest color but love corrupted it and gave it a bad name.”

The Northern Region Lord was touched by such a novel description, using the handkerchief to wipe away a tear.

This was a tear of sadness.

“I would like to thank you for telling me all of this. I am not in a good mood, so I won’t be serving you.” The Northern Region Lord ended the conversation.

Qiu Bai nodded. “Then, I shall take my leave. Please pick yourself up from this!”

The Northern Region Lord waved his hands and looked on as Qiu Bai left. He stood silently by the railing.

When he thought about everything that Ling Ren went through and also about this, killing intent rose up in his heart.

“Father, why did you have to do that? Aren’t you forcing your son to kill you?” Northern Region Lord stood with his hands behind his back and sighed.

His shadow was cast on the ground!

....

In the Bank of the Universe, Li Xiandao was looking at a third expert.

A Taoist old man.

His face was dried up and tired. His hair was white and he looked like someone that was on the verge of death.

“How should I address you?” Li Xiandao asked. He looked at the tomb but there weren’t many things written on it. There were only a few words.

Tomb of the Taoist priest!

“I don’t remember my name anymore. I have spent my life studying Taoism. Just call me Taoist Priest!” The guy thought about it and said.

Li Xiandao searched his memory and confirmed that there was no news of such a person.

Maybe he had forgotten his own name which was why Li Xiandao couldn’t find anything.

But it was okay. On the way up, Li Xiandao read Slaying the Heavens and memorized it. But he still needed to test it out to understand and digest it.

“What can you teach me?” Li Xiandao asked politely.

“Martial arts, the Dao and also eternal life.” He thought about it and said.

Li Xiandao really wanted to diss him*. You are already dead and are just left with just a remnant soul and you want to teach me about eternal life?*

The priest seemed to see through his thoughts and said, “Don’t think that just because I am dead that I won’t be able to teach you about eternal life?”

“Of course not. Why would I have such a thought? I am willing to listen and learn.” Li Xiandao hurriedly explained. If he angered this priest, he would have to find another person.

“Do you know how long I have lived for?” The Taoist asked Li Xiandao.

Li Xiandao shook his head as he didn’t know.

“Even I don’t know how long I have lived for. The first time I opened my eyes, there were still 10 suns and 10 moons above,” the Taoist recalled.

Li Xiandao frowned. The time of the 10 suns and 10 moons was a time of legends. Stories that passed down from that time were treated as stories by many people.

It was said that there were 10 suns in the day and 10 moons at night.

There was something about the Sky Dog eating the moon and the barbarian race expert shooting the sun. All of those were treated as legends by people.

People named that era the Legend Era.

If the priest said that the first time he opened his eyes was during that era, then he must have lived for a long time.

Li Xiandao believed him. Since he had lived for so long, he would have many things to teach Li Xiandao.

“Priest, I just read Slaying the Heavens. Can you help me comprehend it quickly?” Li Xiandao asked.

“No worries, bring it on.” The priest waved his hands and asked Li Xiandao to attack.

Keng!

Li Xiandao didn’t hesitate. He pulled out his sword and slashed towards the sky.

Slaying the Heavens exploded. An eye-catching sword energy covered the sun in the sky. It was a dozen meters long and slashed down viciously.

The priest saw his moves and said, “I will suppress my cultivation to your level to fight you!”

Peng!

Li Xiandao saw his body swell up, his dry body filling up, and his hair turning black. He instantly turned into a muscular, middle-aged man and punched right at Li Xiandao’s Slaying the Heavens.

Kacha!

Li Xiandao’s Slaying the Heavens instantly collapsed but his expression didn’t change. He slashed out a second sword, stepping out without any hesitation and moving his whole body forwards.

Li Xiandao’s expression was as cold as the sword energy wrapped around him.

“Shatter!”

The priest didn’t use any tricks and just punched with a single fist.

Kacha!

Slaying the Heavens’s second sword was shattered too. Li Xiandao and the priest’s expressions both didn’t change.

Li Xiandao continued to attack and the priest continued to defend. Both of them fought without stopping at all.

The priest would shatter each sword from Li Xiandao until Li Xiandao used all nine moves.

The nine swords were all shattered and Li Xiandao just stood there without attacking anymore.

The priest looked at Li Xiandao calmly.

Li Xiandao closed his eyes. In his mind was the Dao from when the priest punched, those strong laws...

Li Xiandao lacked those things and that was the reason why his Slaying the Heavens was not strong.

The all-knowing talent continued to comprehend and slowly absorb the priest’s Dao. He was like a person eating a bowl of noodles, absorbing it as he ate.

Li Xiandao comprehended it all so quickly.

Then, he opened his eyes and slashed without saying anything.

The priest waved his fists to shatter Li Xiandao’s Slaying the Heavens. No matter how much strength Li Xiandao added or how Li Xiandao controlled the area around, all of it was shattered.

Kacha!

After the ninth sword was shattered, Li Xiandao stopped. He closed his eyes once more and slowly comprehended.

The second variation of Slaying the Heavens was double the strength of the first version.

But the priest’s Dao was still extremely thick and strong. Li Xiandao comprehended a bit of it, so he changed to something else.

The Dao was just too vast and complex!
