In the Bank of the Universe, after Li Xiandao and Seven discussed, they confirmed that they were going to receive a new guest. In just 15 minutes, a guest arrived.
When Seven told the news to Li Xiandao, Li Xiandao asked curiously, "Who is this guest?"
"The dead person that you have been thinking about is here." Seven said.
Li Xiandao's eyes lit up, "Is it him?"
"Right, he gave himself a name, Emptiness." Seven nodded.
"Okay, let him in. I will wait for him in the Trading Hall." Li Xiandao was really excited. This person had such a complicated background and Li Xiandao was really concerned about him.
…
Trading Hall. Li Xiandao changed his clothes and sat in the hall. He looked at the entrance with a cold expression.
Seven appeared at the entrance and behind him was a middle-aged man. He looked around warily and when he saw Li Xiandao, he was shocked.
After coming out of Yellow Fountain Road, Li Xiandao was the first person he couldn't see through. It was like layers of fog covered him and he was unable to pull himself out.
This was not normal and it only meant that Li Xiandao was really strong, so strong that Emptiness couldn't compare to him at all.
So, Emptiness focused and he paid close attention. He didn't dare to be careless.
In his heart, Li Xiandao's image was raised.
But what he didn't know was that Li Xiandao had just broken through to Heaven Celestial Realm. The reason why he couldn't see through him was because of the Bank of the Universe.
"You are the owner of the Bank of the Universe?" Emptiness walked in and asked.
"I am. Welcome to my Bank of the Universe. What would you like to trade?" Li Xiandao nodded and admitted his identity.
"Your watch told me that you can trade everything in the world. Is that really possible?" Emptiness looked at Li Xiandao suspiciously.
"As long as you can pay a high enough price, everything isn't a problem." Li Xiandao's tone was really calm. But this calm tone was filled with huge confidence.
"I … I want to know where I came from!" Emptiness opened his mouth and found it hard to speak. But in the end, he still said it.
Li Xiandao reached out, "Please sit. Tell me your question and where you came from."
Emptiness sat opposite Li Xiandao and there was a table between them. The difference was that Li Xiandao was really calm and looked on calmly.
Emptiness was really emotional. He looked at Li Xiandao and said, "I don't know where I came from. I am someone with no past."
Li Xiandao knew about it long ago. He asked on purpose to make Emptiness say it himself.
"Continue." Li Xiandao said calmly.
"I lost all my memories. I forgot myself and I don't know what my goal is. The world is huge but I have nowhere to go." Emptiness said dejectedly.
"You can't remember anything?" Li Xiandao asked.
"Empty. Moreover, I don't fit in with this era. It is as if this isn't my era and I am not used to it." Emptiness sighed.
Li Xiandao looked at him and said, "You don't fit in with this era. Actually, it is nothing. I can explain it to you for free."
"What explanation?" Emptiness didn't understand.
"Because you are a dead person and the fate of a dead person is to be buried in the ground and not to be active in this world. So, you feel like you don't fit in with this world." Li Xiandao explained.
Emptiness was filled with disbelief, "You are saying that I am a dead person?"
Li Xiandao nodded.
"Preposterous, I am sitting here, so how can I be a dead person?" Emptiness scoffed coldly.
He didn't believe Li Xiandao's words at all. He revived and climbed out from Yellow Fountain Road, so how could he be a dead person?
Li Xiandao wasn't annoyed that he was being doubted. He stood up and asked, "You don't believe that you are a dead person?"
Emptiness nodded, "How can I be a dead person when I speak to you like that?"
Li Xiandao walked beside Emptiness and reached out. He accurately tapped Emptiness's dantian and said, "From now onwards, listen to me. I will use the truth to tell you that you are a dead person."
Emptiness laughed coldly, "I will listen to you. I hope that you won't feel awkward when the time comes."
Li Xiandao didn't argue with him. Doing some things was much simpler than talking about them.
When he personally witnessed it, it would be better than being convinced by me.
"Relax your body." Li Xiandao said calmly.
Emptiness silently relaxed his body. He didn't believe Li Xiandao, so he listened to him. He just wanted Li Xiandao to lose his composure.
But unfortunately, the moment he relaxed, a thick life power shot out from Li Xiandao's fingertip and injected into Emptiness's body.
Hong long long!
At that moment, within Emptiness's body, a giant wave surged out from his limbs and bones.
This was a grey wave that was filled with thick death energy. It exploded out and swallowed the life power that Li Xiandao injected.
Dong dong dong!
The thick death energy stunned Emptiness. He reached out and it really was the palm of a dead person. It was ashen white and there was no warmth at all. There was no blood at all. His body slowly froze up.
"I … I really am a dead person!" Emptiness was really shocked.
He thought that he had revived after climbing out from Yellow Fountain Road. But now, he knew that he hadn't and that he was still a dead person.
It was just that a dead person like him could move freely.
Different from other dead people, the death energy in his body suppressed his life force. But in essence, he was still a dead person.
"Now, you believe me, right?" Li Xiandao sat back on his seat and said calmly.
Emptiness nodded. He didn't have any temper and said in a well-behaved manner, "What should I do now?"
Li Xiandao smiled, "You shouldn't ask me what to do. You should ask your heart, what does it want to do?"
Emptiness's slightly stiff palm pressed onto his heart. After a moment of silence, he said firmly, "I want to live."
If he lived, he would be like a normal person. He wouldn't be covered in death energy and his body would become stiff.
"Sure, I can dissipate your death energy but what can you give me?" Li Xiandao asked.
"This is your life. If I dissipate the death energy, you will come back to life. What can you give me for your life?" Li Xiandao added.
Emptiness looked at Li Xiandao. He reached out and touched his body but realized that he had no money at all.
When he was in Saint City, he used the few celestial crystals he had to buy a courtyard.
Now, he was all alone and had nothing.
He couldn't take out any price!
Emptiness looked at Li Xiandao awkwardly and opened his mouth, "Can I pay in installments?"
Li Xiandao's lips curled up, "Sure, but if you want to pay in installments, you have to take out something as a down payment, right?"
Emptiness felt even more awkward, "I can't take anything out."
"I think that you are quite lucky. I will save your life and then your life belongs to me, okay?" Li Xiandao asked.
