Chapter 72 - An Empire of Books
The Bank of the Universe!
Battle Angel Michael and White Emperor Tian Guangming hurried back and realized that the Bank of the Universe was extremely quiet. There was nothing wrong at all unlike what Li Xiandao had said.
"Master, what happened?" Michael asked doubtfully.
"Pa.s.s the Ancient Dragon Tomb treasure to me first. Then, we"ll talk about the other things later." Li Xiandao couldn"t wait. He had to find out how many treasures there were in the Ancient Dragon Tomb.
Michael tossed the storage treasure to Li Xiandao right away.
Li Xiandao flicked his fingers, thick energy turned into a sword and struck the storage treasure.
Kacha!
It broke apart and all the treasures inside fell out.
Explosion!
The 30 dragon tombs fell out into the main hall, causing a huge commotion.
Luckily, the main hall was big enough to store all of them.
Li Xiandao reached out and removed the lids on the 30 tombs to expose the treasures within.
It was a feast for the eyes!
G.o.d Spirit Meridian, Ancient Spirit Stones, G.o.d Source Mine, numerous treasures, Flame Spirits, Dragon Soul Tree...
The treasures from the 30 dragon tombs were enough to satisfy Li Xiandao.
What made him more pleased was the main tomb out of them all.
The main tomb was huge, so one would naturally expect more treasures hidden within. But he didn"t predict there to be only nine dragon eggs within.
A dragon egg in the Ancient Dragon Tomb; one didn"t even need to think and one knew whose it was!
h.e.l.lfire Dragon!
They were a branch of the Ancient Dragon Race, who were really strong and had explosive personalities. They were of fire nature and their outer appearance looked really vicious. Once they m.a.t.u.r.ed, they would have the strength of a Celestial!
However, h.e.l.lfire Dragons were close to extinction now.
This was why Li Xiandao was really surprised to find nine dragon eggs.
Right away, he thought about how the mini Flame Kings could eat so much. If the h.e.l.lfire Dragons hatched, wouldn"t they end up eating even more?
"This doesn"t make sense. Why has my place became a kindergarten? Am I just raising kids now?" Li Xiandao came back to his senses and felt like he really had too many kids here.
10,000 mini Flame Kings along with nine dragon eggs. Li Xiandao had turned from the master of the Bank of the Universe into the princ.i.p.al of a kindergarten.
"No, I have to think of a way!" Li Xiandao made up his mind to think of a win-win idea.
"Tian Guangming and Michael, send these few G.o.d Source Meridians to Seven and feed the kids first. We will then discuss what arrangements to make for them." Li Xiandao instructed.
Michael and Tian Guangming followed orders, but they were totally confused. What kids?
Were there kids in the Bank of the Universe?
What kids had to eat so many G.o.d Source?
They were totally confused when they walked into the Time Hall, but when they saw everything in front of them, they were stunned.
The 10,000 mini Flame Kings had grown by much; they were now a meter tall and their bodies were wrapped in flames. Just looking at their aura alone, one knew that they were much stronger than Dao Pursuing Realm.
They had grown so much in just a short few days. If they continued to eat and drink like this, they would grow even quicker.
Seven took the G.o.d Source Meridians from Michael. Although they were of lower quality than G.o.d Spirit Meridians, they could still be turned into a few million G.o.d Source.
Just like that, they continued to toil and feed all these mini Flame Kings!
In the main hall, Li Xiandao started to collect the corpses of all these h.e.l.lfire Dragon Race dragons.
Li Xiandao collected them all and stored them in the Bank of the Universe before taking out a G.o.d Spirit Meridian.
He wanted to redeem the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository!
The Ten Thousand Country Book Depository contained all of the secret techniques from 10,000 empires. Although a large portion had been loaned out, there were still many that were left in the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository.
Li Xiandao wanted to improve himself, so he had to redeem it.
There was another reason, which was that Li Xiandao had to prepare a cultivation technique for the 10,000 mini Flame Kings.
These mini Flame Kings were relying on their own talents to cultivate. They were growing based on their own ability.
But if he continued to allow them to do so, they would definitely follow in the path of the Flame King.
The Flame King was unrestrained in the Flame World and didn"t think about heading out. He looked at the sky from the bottom of a well, not having a systematic training method, relying solely on his own instincts and talents.
This was the reason why he wanted to enter the human world to slowly learn and find his evolutionary path.
The G.o.d Spirit Meridian was like an exquisite jade pan.
When it was in Li Xiandao"s hand, he could clearly sense the energy that was contained within.
If the energy exploded out, it would definitely be huge. This G.o.d Spirit Meridian definitely wasn"t of low quality.
Li Xiandao walked out of the main hall with it and looked towards the endless s.p.a.ce around, "I want to redeem the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository!"
Explosion!
The s.p.a.ce around the Bank of the Universe started to shake. The area outside the main hall was covered by a mist and one couldn"t tell the direction or see anything ahead. But the shaking of the area around forced the mist aside.
The clouds and mist split and one could see distinct mountain peaks. The main hall was on one mountain, beside it was the time hall, and now a distant peak was revealed.
On the walls of the mountain were written four big words.
Ten Thousand Country Book Depository!
This was something that Li Xiandao hadn"t expected. He thought that it was just a small pavilion and not a giant mountain.
As the clouds scattered, Li Xiandao currently only had three mountains.
Trading Hall! Time Hall! Ten Thousand Country Book Depository!
The jade pan in his hand disappeared and turned into nothing.
Li Xiandao"s body flashed and he appeared in front of the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository.
Giant pieces of stone, weighing 10,000 kilograms each, blocked both sides. Li Xiandao reached out and touched it slightly.
The stone door slowly creaked open.
Although it hadn"t been opened in 10,000 years and the doors were heavy, in front of Li Xiandao, they still automatically opened without much difficulty.
This was because Li Xiandao was the owner of the Bank of the Universe!
The moment it opened, what surged towards his nose wasn"t dust, nor the smell of decomposition, nor the smell of something that had aged.
It was the fragrance of the books!
Li Xiandao took in a deep breath of the book fragrance and he felt pumped up right away.
The moment he entered, he was instantly shocked.
The entire mountain was totally empty and numerous book depositories were carved inside. There were also many ancient era human statues, animal statues, and city portraits...
The key was that some of the books had ascended and had consciousnesses of their own. They were walking about within, no different from humans.
When Li Xiandao saw these scenes, he was amazed.
This was an empire of books!
