Chapter 174: One With The Universe

After saying goodbye to the priest, Li Xiandao came to a lone tomb.

This tomb was located on the corner of the peak and was a little sectioned off from the rest. An old tree spread out and the leaves covered the tomb from light.

Cliff, lone tomb, old tree…

Under the light of the setting sun, Li Xiandao came here alone.

The lone tomb was surrounded by fallen leaves and it made a crunching sound as he walked toward it.

“Senior, I am junior Li Xiandao. I am here to learn!” Li Xiandao said.

“Why did the new owner of the Bank of the Universe come to find me?” A calm voice rang out.

Li Xiandao saw a scholar appear from under the tree. He was holding a scroll and wearing a robe. His hair was tied up and he exuded a scholarly aura.

“Senior, how should I address you?” Li Xiandao asked.

“Zhong Baisheng, I am just a nameless scholar.” Zhong Baishen said calmly as his robe fluttered in the wind.

Li Xiandao tried to recall any signs of this person but he couldn’t find anything.

Who knew whether or not he was low profile, so the world didn’t hear of him or if he had another name?

“Senior, I came here for advice.” Li Xiandao said truthfully.

“For advice?” Zhong Baishen frowned.

“Right, I want to break through to Human Celestial Realm.” Li Xiandao nodded his head.

“You can break through now.” Zhong Baishen stared at Li Xiandao and said.

“I want to break past Human Celestial Realm, not break through to reach Human Celestial.” Li Xiandao announced his ambition.

Zhong Baishen was shocked, “Human Celestial has 10 stages and there is a huge change in each. For you to cross them all, you really have some ambition.”

“Which is why I came to ask senior for help.” Li Xiandao said.

“Okay, you attack and I will teach you some things.” Zhong Baishen nodded.

“I was fortunate to have the Bank of the Universe keep a fragment of my soul which prevented me from dying. You are now the owner of the bank, so naturally, I need to thank you.” Zhong Baishen lifted his hand and raised his level to his peak.

He suppressed his cultivation to the same as Li Xiandao’s and went all out.

Slaying the Heavens!

Li Xiandao went all out and numerous threads of sword energy appeared in the air. He stepped forwards, grabbing one of them and slashed at Zhong Baishen.

This strike was the strongest strike from Slaying the Heavens.

Clang!

The numerous phenomenons in heaven and earth all belonged to that sword at that very moment.

The thousands of threads of sword energies all gathered together, forming a terrifying and vicious aura.

This sword contained all the moves of Slaying the Heavens.

One sword, nine slashes!

This was what Li Xiandao had learned from the priest. It was extremely terrifying and even the priest found it a little tough to handle this.

What about Zhong Baishen?

Li Xiandao was really excited.

When Zhong Baishen saw Li Xiandao’s strike, his pupils constricted. With his realm, with his cultivation, with what he had seen, naturally he wouldn’t worry about normal things.

“Such a strong Dao!” Zhong Baishen was shocked at how strong Li Xiandao’s Dao was. It was so terrifying and invincible.

In the Transcendent Realm, Li Xiandao’s Dao was invincible.

Zhong Baishen knew that he couldn’t restrict himself to Transcendent Realm as he wouldn’t be able to block that strike.

He breathed and when the sword energy slashed at him, numerous world threads appeared in his eyes.

Dao Threads!

This was not a level that the Transcendent Realm could touch. In truth, even Human Celestials couldn’t reach such a realm.

People who exceeded Human Celestial and had top talents were probably able to feel this.

Zhong Baishen stepped forwards like Li Xiandao and said, “Beginning of heaven and earth, Saint descends!”

Hong!

At this moment, extremely terrifying Dao phenomenons appeared on Zhong Baishen’s body. They covered Li Xiandao and in the next second, an invincible illusion appeared.

Beginning of Heaven and Earth, Saint descends!

This Saint wasn’t at Saint Realm but it referred to one’s charm and their contribution to the world.

Saint Realm was just one’s cultivation exceeding 90% of the people.

But it didn’t mean that one’s personality and contributions had reached such a stage.

Each Saint in the past all helped to discover new lands. In terms of cultivation, character, contributions, and the progress of mankind, their help wasn’t something that others could compare to.

This was what Saints were supposed to look like!

The Saint descended and just like that, Li Xiandao’s Slaying the Heavens collapsed. He was forced back and blood surged up his throat. With much difficulty, he was only able to just suppress it.

“You lost.” Zhong Baishen walked to Li Xiandao and pointed with his finger. He touched Li Xiandao’s heart.

Pui!

True Qi exploded, causing Li Xiandao’s heart to explode and a giant hole to appear. Li Xiandao was stunned and then he reached out to cover the wound.

“This hurts even more than a sword stabbing through it.” Li Xiandao muttered.

Zhong Baishen backed off silently.

Li Xiandao wiped it with his hand and the wound healed instantly.

He looked towards Zhong Baishen and said firmly, “What type of Dao is that?”

“One with the Universe!” Zhong Baishen said.

Li Xiandao looked at Zhong Baishen in confusion.

“Humans and heaven and earth are two different entities. The world is huge and endless. As for humans, we are restricted by our imagination and thoughts.” Zhong Baishen said.

Li Xiandao listened quietly.

“Your thoughts can cross worlds, so your body can too. If your thoughts and heaven and earth are on the same frequency, then you will be connected to it, becoming One with the Universe. You will then be able to control the Dao for your own use.” Zhong Baishen looked at Li Xiandao and pointed out Li Xiandao’s weakness.

“You comprehended a lot of the Dao but most of them are scattered and there isn’t one perfect Dao. You don’t even have veins of Dao, so naturally, it will be tough to grasp it.” Zhong Baishen said.

Li Xiandao listened on and his eyes shone brightly. This was the Dao Thread that Zhong Baishen used just now!

“To become stronger and to cross past Human Celestial Realm, you need to comprehend One with the Universe.” Zhong Baishen said solemnly.

“When you are able to do that, then you have the right to do so.” Zhong Baishen concluded.

Li Xiandao asked, “After I do that, I will only have the right to do so?”

“Of course, what else do you want?” Zhong Baishen nodded and guessed, “You should just comprehend that. I spent 1,000 years to do so. As for you, I think you need at least 100 years.”

Li Xiandao’s gaze became really weird, “Actually, I don’t need so long!”

“What?” Zhong Baishen looked at Li Xiandao with a confused expression.

“I said that I don’t need so long.” Li Xiandao’s expression turned solemn. Sword energy appeared and looked exactly the same as before.

In the next second, Li Xiandao reached out and grabbed the air.

Dao Sword!

With a loud explosion, the entire lone mountain was included in the range of Li Xiandao’s Dao Sword.

This sword was several times more terrifying than the last one that Li Xiandao used.
