The old King was really strong and suppressed the current King. He was furious but he was unable to fight back.
Xuan Celestial was much stronger than Heaven Celestials. The current King had Heaven Celestial subordinates but none of them could fight against his father who was at Xuan Celestial Realm.
So, he listened and took 10 billion top grade Celestial Crystals over.
After scolding his heir, the old King turned around and looked at Yun Tianxia. He said respectfully, "Please wait for a moment, the 10 billion will be here soon."
Yun Tianxia looked at him with a teasing expression, "Now that you are so decisive in giving me 10 billion, why didn't you head to the Bank of the Universe to end the contract?"
The Old Emperor sighed and said, "Back then, this country had just entered the right track. If I were to take out 10 billion top-grade immortal crystals, then all my efforts over the years would have been for naught. So, weighing the pros and cons, I have always been hesitating."
Yun Tianxia laughed coldly, "You were hesitating not because of this country but because you wanted to be lucky and think that the Bank of the Universe wouldn't pursue the matter."
The old King didn't say anything.
"But you didn't expect that once the time was up, you would go crazy. Moreover, your heir isn't as filial as you thought." Yun Tianxia continued.
He looked at Yun Tianxia and said, "I can hand over 10 billion top grade celestial crystals, but can you return me my soul source?"
Yun Tianxia shook his head, "10 billion is what you have to pay according to the contract. Your soul source has been mortgaged to the Bank of the Universe. You must know that it isn't that we don't want to give it to you but that you don't have the right to take it away."
The old King's expression was really ugly, "Am I going to be in a daze and go crazy?"
Yun Tianxia said coldly, "This has nothing to do with us. You made a mistake and you need to pay the price."
Putong!
He knelt down in front of Yun Tianxia and begged, "I know I was wrong. Back then, I was blinded by greed and went against the contract. I'm willing to pay the price. I can take out 10 billion top grade immortal crystals. I just hope that you can return my soul source to me."
Yun Tianxia looked at the old King coldly.
"I am willing to pay any price as long as you don't make me go crazy." The old King begged.
"You're willing to pay any price?" Yun Tianxia raised his brows and asked.
The old emperor nodded and said solemnly, "I don't want to be crazy anymore."
After going crazy for 2,000 years, he had enough. Especially after being locked in this cold palace with no one around, his only hope was Yun Tian and the Bank of the Universe.
"Okay, I'll help you ask, but I can't decide how much it will cost," Yun Tianxia said.
"Many thanks, many thanks, my lord!" The Old Emperor said excitedly.
Yun Tianxia turned around and communicated with Li Xiandao.
Within the Bank of the Universe, Li Xiandao closed his eyes to cultivate. Suddenly, he received Yun Tianxia's call and he told Li Xiandao about this matter.
Li Xiandao opened his eyes and thought about it, "He wants to redeem his soul source. No problem, 10 billion top grade celestial crystals."
Yun Tianxia said, "Then 20 billion top grade immortal crystals?
"Right, make him hand over 20 billion and everything will end." Li Xiandao nodded his head.
"Understood, Master, I will do it." Yun Tianxia said respectfully and ended the call.
"10 billion top grade celestial crystals to redeem your soul source." Yun Tianxia turned around and said to the old emperor.
The old emperor said right away, "Someone has already gone to get 10 billion."
"That is the contract's 10 billion and it isn't included in it." Yun Tianxia said coldly.
The old emperor's face froze up and he said in shock, "After this 10 billion, I still have to pay another 10 billion?"
Yun Tianxia nodded his head, "If you pay the 10 billion, I will return it to you. If you aren't willing, then I will take it away."
The old emperor looked at Yun Tianxia in rage and wanted to roar towards the sky. To him, this was extortion.
"You are a Xuan Celestial, 10 billion in exchange for you not to be crazy for the rest of your life. It is a good deal." Yun Tianxia explained.
Even if a Xuan Celestial didn't crazily earn celestial crystals, after tens of thousands of years, 10 billion wouldn't be a problem.
Xuan Celestials could live for a long time, so redeeming the soul source wasn't considered extortion.
In a normal business transaction, if you weren't willing, then you wouldn't redeem it.
The old emperor thought about it with a black face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then, use 10 billion to redeem my soul source."
Yun Tianxia was satisfied, "I will give you time to prepare the top grade celestial crystals. At night, I have to see them. If not, you will go against the contract and the consequences will be severe."
The old emperor cupped his fists and said firmly, "I won't go against the contract."
After saying this, he turned around and left. In 2,000 years, this was the first time he exited Cold Palace.
Yun Tianxia wasn't worried that he would do anything. He had broken through to Heaven Celestial Realm and reached Xuan Celestial Realm. Moreover, he was working hard in the Bank of the Universe to improve himself. He was much stronger than the old emperor who had been crazy for 2,000 years.
In this country, Yun Tianxia was undoubtedly the top.
This was why he waited patiently.
On the other side, Tian Guangming was impatient.
The contract he got was from a host who was willing to repay.
This was a merchant who borrowed 10 billion celestial crystals. When he borrowed it, he paid 5,000 years of his life for 10,000 years. Now, 10,000 years was just nice.
The contract showed that the merchant wanted to repay 10 billion celestial crystals but he was stopped by something.
What stopped him were his nephews.
The merchant didn't have any children and he had three nephews who inherited his huge fortune. They split it into three. The merchant wanted to return 10 billion celestial crystals but the three nephews tried to persuade him and threatened him. They said that the business was at a loss and he couldn't take it out. If he forcefully took it out, the few families would go bankrupt etc …
This caused the merchant to be unable to pay it back even if he wanted to.
This infuriated Tian Guangming. He really wanted to roll up his sleeves and kill those three nephews.
"Why are you so muddle-headed? You didn't marry a wife and didn't have kids. You worked hard for your entire life but you gave three traitors as dowry." Tian Guangming was furious.
The merchant was really old. His cultivation wasn't high and he hadn't broken through to Celestial Realm. He had lived for a long time and because he borrowed 10 billion celestial crystals from the Bank of the Universe, he lost 5,000 years of lifespan. As such, he only had 100 years left.
"When I was young, I met someone I liked. It was love at first sight. She was very beautiful and independent. She had a pure soul. I admired her. After that, she saved my life. I confessed to her, but she rejected me. She told me to live a good life, marry a wife, and have children. But I rejected her." The merchant smiled. His aged face was filled with reminiscences.
Thinking back to the past, he felt really happy.
"I protected my love for her and lived my entire life. I was single and I wouldn't marry anyone but her, so I didn't have any kids." The merchant said to Tian Guangming.
"You are a lover." Tian Guangming muttered.
