Chapter 490 - Nether Purple Mountain!
Seven was clearing the treasures and when she heard Li Xiandao"s words, she was stunned. She thought about it and said, "You want to unlock the sixth mountain?"
Li Xiandao nodded, "If I can, then of course. The mountains are all connected and I only unlocked five. That"s too few."
Seven said, "I don"t think we have enough resources?"
"What is the key to the sixth mountain peak?" Li Xiandao asked curiously.
The first five had brought him many benefits and helped him to increase his cultivation. If the sixth one could provide more benefits, that would be amazing for Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao wanted to unlock more because of such a consideration.
Seven smiled, "The sixth mountain wouldn"t be of much help to you but it would really help your subordinates."
"What is it?" Li Xiandao asked curiously.
"Weapon Crafting Mountain Range!" Seven said.
"Weapon Crafting Mountain Range, what do you mean?" Li Xiandao was confused.
"Weapon Crafting Mountain Range like the name suggests. It is a mountain range to craft weapons. But this mountain range is different from others. It is special. If you toss broken weapons, celestial artifact souls, and also rare metals inside, the Weapon Crafting Mountain Range will automatically help you to craft weapons and artifacts." Seven replied.
"Automatic?" Li Xiandao was shocked.
This was a little magical.
"Right, the Weapon Crafting Mountain Range is a giant volcano and it is a natural one. There are chaos flames inside but they are temporarily sealed up. When you have a chance in the future, you can unseal the chaos flames and it will even be able to craft the strongest weapons in Celestial World. When the time comes, your subordinates will be able to smash enemies to death with weapons." Seven nodded.
"I am suddenly really interested, what is the price of unlocking it?" Li Xiandao was pumped up and asked.
"Let me see whether or not these treasures including those in the treasury are enough?" Seven started to calculate.
Li Xiandao waited and looked towards the mountain range which was being covered by fog.
This was the sixth mountain, the Weapon Crafting Mountain Range.
The first five were peaks.
The sixth one was a mountain range with such an amazing ability. Just thinking about it filled Li Xiandao with antic.i.p.ation.
Li Xiandao definitely wanted to unlock the majestic mountain range so that the Bank of the Universe could regain some of its function.
"You are still lacking a little." Seven raised her head and looked towards Li Xiandao helplessly.
"How much?" Li Xiandao asked solemnly.
The resources needed to unlock the sixth mountain wasn"t a small amount.
"You lack roughly the acc.u.mulated treasures of a top sect." Seven calculated and said.
"What kind of top sect?" Li Xiandao asked.
There were many different top sects.
For example, those in Cold Moon Sky or those in Great Sky. Were they the same concept?
Cold Moon Sky was second last out of the nine skies while Great Sky was ranked second.
They were both second and both top sects but were they the same?
So, Li Xiandao had to be clear about it.
"The top sects in Heaven Sky, those who have been pa.s.sed down since ancient times and not those new ones." Seven emphasized.
There were those that rose up in the last 10,000 years, producing many generations of top geniuses which allowed them to leap into a huge sect.
But were their acc.u.mulated treasures the same?
The 100,000-year sect would definitely acc.u.mulate much more.
What Seven talked about was those big sects with a long history of at least 100,000 years.
Li Xiandao took in a deep breath, "It seems like we need to head to Heaven Sky."
"But, even if they are large sects, huge factions and have a long history. We can"t steal from them. After all, we are the Bank of the Universe and not bandits." Li Xiandao said helplessly.
If there was a 100,000-year-old faction in front of him and both sides had no animosity with one another, what gave Li Xiandao the right to s.n.a.t.c.h the riches from them?
Seven had considered that and when she thought about how they lacked the resources from one large faction, she had already planned a solution for Li Xiandao.
"Look at this." Seven pa.s.sed a contract to Li Xiandao.
This contract didn"t have a host or rather it was not normal.
"Nether Purple Mountain uses itself to sign a contract with Bank of the Universe in exchange for 100,000 soldiers to fend off its calamity." Li Xiandao glanced at the contents and realized that the contract looked weird.
The host wasn"t a person. It was a mountain. It was a huge mountain known as Nether Purple Mountain. Had it used itself as a reward to sign a contract in exchange for 100,000 soldiers to defend against a calamity?
"This was also signed by the last guy?" Li Xiandao said with a weird tone.
Seven shook his head and said, "No, it was signed by the one before that. He signed it 30,000 years ago."
The former former Master!
Which was the 7th Master.
This was the first time Li Xiandao had seen a contract that he signed.
"What is going on with this Nether Purple Mountain?" Li Xiandao asked.
"Nether Purple Mountain is a place that focuses on purple crystal formations which are popular things even in the Celestial World. Purple crystals are larger than celestial crystals. This Nether Purple Mountain is a branch of the biggest purple crystal mine of the Celestial World." Seven explained.
"What is up with the 100,000 soldiers?" Li Xiandao asked.
"That year, the Nether Purple Crystal Mine was in huge trouble. A huge power wanted to occupy it and sent millions of troops. The Nether Purple Crystal Mine was at its weakest state, so this branch formed its own intelligence and found the Bank of the Universe. It used itself as the price in exchange for troops to help the mine tide through the crisis." Seven explained.
Li Xiandao understood and had a weird expression, "So, this mine should belong to the Bank of the Universe, so why did it disappear?"
"This was because there was an accident. This was the last contract he signed and before he collected the Nether Purple Mountain, the new Master replaced him. You know about the new master, he didn"t care about this contract at all." Seven was helpless.
"What was the reason?" Li Xiandao asked solemnly.
"You still can"t know about it now. Your strength is decent in the Nine Skies and Ten Lands but you haven"t reached the level where you can find out about this." Seven shook her head.
"Okay, I won"t ask. Then where is this Nether Purple Mountain now?" Li Xiandao didn"t mind and asked another thing.
"It is in Heaven Sky. You can go find it and use its power to unlock the sixth mountain peak." Seven said.
