Chapter 303: One Bet
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
In the end, the priest was sucked dry by Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao fully understood the Boundless Realm Dao Attainments and made them his own. They entered his body and filled every muscle.
But Li Xiandao's Ten Land Grotto-Heavens weren't fully completed which made him feel really helpless.
He had sucked dry Zhao Wuji, Sword God, and the priest consecutively, but they still weren't able to complete his Ten Lands Grotto-Heaven.
From that, one could see how enormous his Ten Lands Grotto-Heaven was.
Immeasurable!
If one gave any random person one percent of Zhao Wuji's Boundless Realm Dao Attainments, they would be able to break through to Boundless Realm.
But over on Li Xiandao's side, Zhao Wuji, Sword God, and the priest failed to complete Li Xiandao's Dao much less break through.
Li Xiandao could only place his hopes on the last person.
Zhong Baishen!
An amazing scholar who once had a strong presence too. But as time passed, everything recorded about him disappeared in the rivers of time.
Zhong Baishen was just another dead person in the Bank of the Universe.
A sliver of his soul was left in the Bank of the Universe, keeping him alive. If he left, he would be dead within an hour.
There were many such people on the Legacy Hall mountain peak.
Li Xiandao found Zhong Baishen to spar and comprehend the Dao.
Zhong Baishen knew that he couldn't reject the offer. If he didn't want Li Xiandao to find him, the only way would be to lose his own value.
Li Xiandao wouldn't disturb a person or ghost who had no value.
He was just such a practical person.
This was why Zhong Baishen passed all his knowledge over to Li Xiandao and helped him learn it. As such, Li Xiandao wouldn't find him in the short run.
Li Xiandao loved Zhong Baishen's clean style and so he quickly learned those Dao Attainments.
But his Ten Lands Grotto-Heaven still wasn't able to be filled which made Li Xiandao frown.
He absorbed the Dao Attainments from four experts and it was still not enough. This was just too much.
"Your Ten Lands Grotto-Heaven is too terrifying and normal people can't form it. Using a world as a Grotto-Heaven and you even want to fill it up. That is not a simple matter." Zhong Baishen looked at Li Xiandao's Grotto-Heaven and shook his head. He was shocked by Li Xiandao's strength.
"What should I do?" Li Xiandao asked for Zhong Baishen's help.
"There are many dead people on the Legacy Hall mountain peak and many of them are experts from an ancient era. No matter who, they will all have their own way of comprehending the Dao." Zhong Baishen thought about it before saying.
Li Xiandao wasn't dumb and he guessed it right away. "I comprehended too much and don't have a system?"
"That is a reason. Your Ten Lands Grotto-Heaven is enormous and maybe you still lack some Dao Attainments. Apart from what you yourself comprehended, you absorbed those from the four of us. We have different styles, so for you to comprehend the four of us, it is still a problem for you to control and combine them." Zhong Baishen analyzed it for Li Xiandao.
"He is right. You are a monster, a freak, and you comprehend things so easily. When we fight with you, you understand it so easily. But the four of us all have different routes from you." The priest walked over with a stick in his hand. As he was just a fragment of his soul, he appeared illusionary.
Li Xiandao thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Sword God and Zhao Wuji came too.
"Out of the four of us, your Dao is similar to mine as we both use the sword. But my sword heads forward with no fear. Even if my enemy is strong, I am not afraid of him. But yours is overbearing, brilliant, and oustanding. You want your sword to suppress all enemies." Sword God said.
"It is okay that you comprehended our Dao Attainments, but you should use your own for the foundation, not ours. You should then use ours as support." Spear God added.
The four of them noticed Li Xiandao's current problem.
Li Xiandao's comprehension speed was really quick.
But the bad thing was that he had absorbed a lot from others.
"Then, how should I adjust it?" Li Xiandao asked for help.
"From now onward, you need to confirm a path for yourself to be your Dao. Like how a tree's branch has to be straight. The Dao Attainments you get from us can be nutrients to let your tree grow." Zhong Baishen said.
"Right, to confirm my Dao, I killed for 100 years. I grinded out my Dao on the brink of death, so you must grind it out too." Sword God nodded his head.
"I think that you will be able to comprehend your own Dao tree quickly." Zhao Wuji muttered.
"This guy is sick in the head, so he should be quick. Let's make a bet." The priest said in front of Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao's face turned black. If he wasn't wearing the mask, those people would have noticed.
"What are we betting?" Zhong Baishen asked.
"Whoever loses will be slapped." Sword God thought about it and said.
"Five slaps." Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up.
"Then, 10." The priest decided.
Li Xiandao was helpless, "Do all of you have such a weird hobby?"
"We have no choice. This place is just so boring. In the past, we didn't know each other and didn't talk to one another. Because of you, we started to talk." The priest smiled.
"Then, do so quickly. I bet that you will comprehend your Dao tree in just three hours." Zhao Wuji rushed.
"Three hours is too quick. As far as I know, no one is capable of achieving that." Zhong Baishen was shocked.
"Right, it took me 100 years." Sword God muttered.
"Since you don't believe it, then I will set the time longer." Zhao Wuji didn't care. He even laughed. Didn't they know how overpowered Li Xiandao was?
"Then, I bet 30 minutes." The priest thought about it and bet a time that made Zhao Wuji's eyes open wide.
"I bet 30 minutes too." Sword God added.
Only
"Me too." Zhong Baishen said.
"This... I said 3 hours and all of you felt that it was too quick, but now, you're betting 30 minutes?" Zhao Wuji looked at them in shock and rage and felt that he had been conned.
"He is the master of the Bank of the Universe." Zhong Baishen said calmly.
"All of you don't know how sick he is." Sword God gloated.
"You are definitely going to lose. Prepare to give yourself 10 slaps." The priest said directly.
"Master of the Bank, can you wait three hours before you comprehend it?" Zhao Wuji begged.
"I don't mind but I really want to see you slap yourself, so I will try to finish in 30 minutes." Li Xiandao stood up and patted Zhao Wuji's shoulder.
