Li Xiandao had been paying attention to Michael and the others. He wanted to see what the Heaven and Earth Battlefield was like from their point of view.
During these 10 days, apart from cultivating, he was looking at them.
But their process was really boring!
Rush, rush!
He continued to rush!
There was once when he faced an enemy and Li Xiandao even wanted them to fight.
But Long Haishou resolved it and they continued on their way.
After looking for a few days, Li Xiandao gave up. He would occasionally glance and then stop paying attention. He would wait until he reached the Ancient Dragon Tomb.
"Master, there is a guest!" Seven suddenly reminded Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao was delighted. He stood up and wore his mask. He entered the hall and waited quietly.
….
Dali Land, Xuankong Temple. An old monk was in secluded meditation!
"Buddha, I have believed in you my entire life, so why don't you pity me and let me serve you?" The old monk was really old. His skin was loose and his body was dry. There was no energy at all.
He was muttering!
He was praying!
He was afraid of death!
He prayed to the Buddha for his entire life and chanted scriptures for his entire life. He thought that he had comprehended Buddhism!
But in the end, he still couldn't see through death!
He wanted to stay in this beautiful world and not die!
But … The Buddha didn't pity him.
"Since the Buddha won't save me, then let the Demon save me." The old monk was in despair. He opened his palm and a red watch appeared.
Dozens of days ago, he had picked up this watch!
The old monk's Buddhist techniques were deep and when he was rational, he was an accomplished monk!
He was a famous Buddhist Master in Xuankong Temple and thought that he had comprehended Buddhism.
But today, the old monk sensed that his time was up.
It was sudden!
He was caught off guard!
The old monk thought that he could live for another 3-5 years, but who knew that today would be the day?
He prayed to the Buddha, chanted scriptures, burned incense, kowtowed …
He prayed to numerous Buddha statues in Xuankong Temple!
None of them saved him.
"The dumb kid entered the Buddhist Faction and spent half his life worshipping the Buddha and the other half as a demon. He only awakened at the end. The Buddha and Demon Ancestor are the same!" The old monk muttered and a crying and smiling expression appeared on his face. He then shattered the watch in his hand.
Kacha!
In the end, he loved himself more and wasn't willing to leave this world, choosing the Demon Ancestor.
Just as he said at the end.
The Buddha and Demon Ancestor were the same!
…
Li Xiandao looked at the old monk who didn't look like a human and was shocked.
He never expected that it would be a monk!
Furthermore, it was such an old monk!
In Li Xiandao's eyes, the old monk only had two hours left to live. After that, he would leave this world.
However, the old monk's realm was truly unfathomable.
Li Xiandao was shocked. His cultivation was the strongest that Li Xiandao had seen so far.
"What is your name?" Li Xiandao asked.
"Heaven Heart!" The old monk said weakly.
Li Xiandao nodded his head, "You only have two hours. After that, you will die!"
The old monk didn't panic and said, "I know. If not for that, I wouldn't have the courage to shatter the watch and break my fake self to see how terrifying and ugly my heart is."
Li Xiandao laughed, "There is no one in this world who isn't ugly and terrifying."
The old monk was stunned and looked at Li Xiandao.
"Just like the Buddha who is high above, he didn't abandon the so-called seven emotions and six desires, love and hate, or the negative emotions in his heart. But the Buddha was really deep and knew how to control them to show the bright side of himself." Li Xiandao said.
The old monk nodded his head, "Right, be it an emperor, be it a hero, be it a Buddha or a celestial, they all have their other sides. There is no perfect person in this world!"
The old monk was someone who studied Buddhism deeply. This time, he really came here to face the desires in his heart.
But this didn't mean that he had abandoned everything about Buddhism.
He just wanted to be his true self again, no longer suppressing his feelings and burying his desires deep in his heart.
"Master Heaven Heart, what do you want to trade?" Li Xiandao asked solemnly.
"Life, I want to live." Master Heaven Heart said firmly.
"I can give you life. You only have two hours and I will give you 500 years. What price can you pay?" Li Xiandao asked.
Heaven Heart was stunned. He had hope and prayed that this place could save him.
But when Li Xiandao said 500 years of lifespan, the first thought in his mind was what could he give up?
A person who was about to die!
500 years of lifespan was a priceless treasure to him.
The items traded weren't of the same value.
Li Xiandao took out 500 years of lifespan to give to someone with 10,000 years of lifespan. That could only be exchanged for a few things.
But to Master Heaven Heart who only had two hours left, this was the most precious gift in the world.
Heaven Heart had nothing to trade.
"Here's a contract. Sign it!" Li Xiandao saw that Master Heaven Heart didn't say anything and wasn't angry. He took a contract from Seven and passed it to Master Heaven Heart.
Master Heaven Heart trembled as he took it. He took a close look and sucked in a deep cold breath.
500 years of lifespan in exchange for 500 years of freedom for Master Heaven Heart!
"You are giving me 500 years of lifespan which means that I need to serve you for the next 500 years?" Master Heaven Heart said softly.
He didn't reject it directly but he didn't agree right away either!
He was considering and weighing the pros and cons!
Li Xiandao wasn't in a rush and said, "You have served the Buddha for your entire life and now that you are at death's door, you need someone like me who sells time, sells souls, sells everything in the world to save you. Isn't that a little amusing?"
Master Heaven Heart closed his eyes.
"500 years of following someone who is a demon in your Buddhist Faction's eyes. What will you become?" Li Xiandao said softly and it reverberated in Master Heaven Heart's ears.
Demon whispers!
Li Xiandao really wanted Master Heaven Heart to be his subordinate. He was too strong.
Even if he wasn't the top expert in Dali Land, he was in the top three!
Li Xiandao dared to say that!
There was no other reason. Master Heaven Heart's accumulation was unbelievable. Once he used it and activated it, it would be unstoppable.
The current Master Tianxin was a treasure trove!
"I have a request." Master Heaven Heart closed his eyes and said.
"Please speak!" Li Xiandao said confidently.
"Don't force me if I don't want to do it!" Master Heaven Heart agreed.
He was already here. He asked himself in his heart.
Why was he still so reserved?
He told him to throw away the pretense and face his heart. What was the answer in his heart?
Master Heaven Heart's answer was definitely to sign the contract!
So, he signed the contract and under Li Xiandao's gaze, he wrote down his name!
