Sword God and Old Man Tianchi fought together. They worked together to kill a bunch of Celestials but then Sword God died. Old Man Tianchi closed the Celestial Gate alone and hid the key on Heaven Mountain.
Now, Sword God could rely on the Bank of the Universe to survive. Old Man Tianchi was totally dead, so Sword God wasn't in a good mood.
Dong dong dong!
Li Xiandao reached out and knocked on Sword God's tombstone.
"I am not in a good mood, so come out and talk." Li Xiandao said.
The dirt fell and the coffin was revealed. Sword God walked out from within.
He was in a bad mood but since Li Xiandao was here, he had to receive him.
"Bank 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 why he was in a good mood and just took out something.
A key!
A very special key!
Sword God took a look and was instantly stunned, "This is …"
"Old Man Tianchi closed the Celestial Gate and this is the key to open it." Li Xiandao smiled.
"How did this end up in your hands?" Sword God was stunned.
"Old Man Tianchi's junior brother traded this to me, so I am the owner of this key." Li Xiandao said.
Sword God took the key and looked at it. His eyes were filled with surprise like he was touching a treasure. He was really infatuated with it.
"Do you know?" Sword God suddenly looked towards Li Xiandao.
"What?" Li Xiandao asked.
"Old Man Tianchi, me, and my friends' wishes?" Sword God asked Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao shook his head.
Zhao Wuji frowned and seemed to have thought about something.
"Our wish is for people from Celestial World to not underestimate us." Sword God said firmly.
"Celestial World looks down on the Nine Skies?" Li Xiandao asked curiously.
"Of course, people like us who ascended enter Celestial World have to do hard labor, mining, labor, etc …" Sword God's eyes were filled with rage.
"To test your talent. If you don't reach the standard, you will be sent to the border or do hard labor for 1,000 years before you can regain your freedom." Sword God's eyes were filled with rage.
"What talent do I need to reach the standard?" Li Xiandao asked curiously.
"Talent is split into 10 grades. The first grade is the highest and the 10th is the lowest. Only when you reach the fifth grade can you be considered qualified. You don't have to do all this hard labor." Sword God said coldly.
"Will I be able to live a normal life after reaching the fifth level?" Zhao Wuji asked.
When he was at his peak, he didn't enter the Celestial World. He was invincible in the Nine Skies and Ten Lands. He was at the door to the Celestial World and he wasn't willing to step out. In the end, due to some reason, he died and a portion of his soul came to the Bank of the Universe.
Because he did not enter the Immortal World, he was not far behind the Hall of Legacy.
"No." Sword God shook his head and interrupted Zhao Wudi's beautiful fantasy.
"Celestial World is cold and cruel. The law of the jungle is even more dangerous than the Nine Skies and Ten Lands because there are too many people. Although there are many resources, Celestial World has developed for so many years and the hierarchy has solidified. It is impossible for normal people to rise up." Sword God sighed and said solemnly.
"After entering the Immortal World and testing your talent, those who fail to reach the fifth level will suffer a miserable fate. Those who reach the fifth level will be forced to hand over their souls and then enter the army to be a small soldier. If they dare to run, they will shatter their soul seal. "Sword God's words were really cruel and it made Li Xiandao and Zhao Wuji silent.
They cultivated so hard, ascended, and entered the Celestial World but what they saw wasn't as beautiful as they imagined. Instead, it was even colder and crueler.
People from the Nine Skies didn't have much power. Moreover, people from the Nine Skies and Ten Lands couldn't even be considered arms.
"So, Old Man Tianchi and I fled back and angered that faction. They sent people to chase us and we started to fight back. It was a bloody battle and many people from both sides died. I died too but I didn't expect that Old Man Tianchi would close the Celestial Gate alone." Sword God was filled with emotions.
Old Man Tianchi's move was really beautiful. He cut off the connection between Celestial World and Nine Skies and Ten Lands. From now on, both sides wouldn't interfere with one another. Even if you looked down on people from the Nine Skies and Ten Lands, you wouldn't be able to interfere with us.
If the Celestial Gate didn't open, Celestial World wouldn't be able to interfere with Nine Skies and Ten Lands' matters.
"Bank Master, now that you have the key, what are you planning to do?" Sword God looked at Li Xiandao and asked nervously.
Li Xiandao thought about it and said, "One day in the future, I will open the Celestial Gate."
Sword God was shocked, "Why do you want to open the Celestial Gate?"
"Once the Celestial Gate is opened, people from the Celestial World can come down as they please. Although their strength won't exceed what the Nine Skies and Ten Lands can hold, if there are many of them, it will be really terrifying. The Nine Skies and Ten Lands will be ruled by Celestials once more." Sword God said anxiously.
He didn't want Li Xiandao to do anything stupid.
Li Xiandao smiled and said with a firm gaze, "Since I want to open the Celestial Gate, then I won't allow them to do as they please. When the time comes, I want to see, with a sword in hand, which of the 3,000 Celestials will dare to come down?"
Li Xiandao was really confident in his future strength. He didn't want the Nine Skies and Ten Lands to be separated from the Celestial World for too long. If he closed the Celestial Gate, the Nine Skies and Ten Lands wouldn't be threatened. But the number of people who ascended would be much lower as they could only rely on tribulations.
During these years, not many people ascended from the Nine Skies.
That wasn't good news.
If the path of ascension was cut off, that was the cruelest thing for those who cultivated so hard.
As for Celestials causing chaos in the Nine Skies and Ten Lands?
Li Xiandao didn't care at all. At that time, he would still be here.
Li Xiandao told Sword God about his thoughts. After Sword God heard it, he thought about it and said, "You have to ensure that you are the strongest one."
Li Xiandao smiled confidently, "Do you think that I won't be the strongest one?"
Sword God had nothing to say.
He thought about Li Xiandao's terrifying learning ability, terrifying sword techniques, and that terrifying talent.
For some reason, he had more confidence in Li Xiandao.
"I will help you." Sword God said firmly and passed the key to Li Xiandao.
He knew that he couldn't persuade Li Xiandao. Opening the Celestial Gate was Li Xiandao's plan, so he could only support him.
Li Xiandao took the key and said, "The biggest help you can give me is to pass all your Dao attainments to me. Pass your Emperor Dao attainments to me."
Sword God finally smiled and said, "No problem, I can give you everything I have."
To fulfill what Li Xiandao said, to open the Celestial Gate and allow the path to be unobstructed, Sword God was willing to give up everything for the wish that none of the 3,000 Celestials in the sky dared to come down.
"Since you are thinking for the Nine Skies and Ten Lands, then I can pass all my Dao attainments to you." Zhao Wudi said too. He was also from the Nine Skies and Ten Lands and had huge gratitude towards this land.
"There is also us." The priest and Zhong Baishen's soul incarnations came over too. They looked at one another and smiled.
