Chapter 512: Locking Up Zhang San!

Li Xiandao wanted to know about where Emperor Gouchen was and if he had the chance to, he would try to recruit him.

But the Celestial shook his head, “I don’t know where Emperor Gouchen is.”

Tian Guangming frowned, “You don’t know?”

“You don’t know but your teacher told you to find him?”

“If you don’t know, then won’t you be finding a needle in a haystack?”

Tian Guangming’s questioning made the Celestial open his eyes wide. He tried to defend himself, “I don’t know. My teacher told me to find Emperor Gouchen because once I get the key, I’ll be able to open the Celestial Gate and draw Emperor Gouchen over.”

Tian Guangming looked at Li Xiandao right away.

Li Xiandao looked at the key in his hands and asked, “So you are saying that if you get the key and open the gate, Emperor Gouchen will appear?”

“Right. If Emperor Gouchen’s reincarnation wants to enter the Celestial World without being found, he has to go past the Celestial Gate. If he ascends by flying, he will definitely be monitored by Celestial Dynasty.” The Celestial nodded.

“Why was he noticed?” Tian Guangming asked.

“That is because his body will have the lord’s divinity and if he enters Celestial Dynasty, he will be noticed.” The Celestial explained.

“So if he doesn’t want to, he has to enter from the Celestial Gate.” Li Xiandao understood.

“Right, this is the reason why I had to get the key in advance.” The Celestial sighed.

“But now that the key is in your hands, so you can open the Celestial Gate. Once you do, Emperor Gouchen will definitely come.” The Celestial suggested to Li Xiandao.

Li Xiandao didn’t believe him and just looked at him calmly. He asked, “Emperor Gouchen has a noble status, so why would he come to the Nine Skies and Ten Lands?”

Seven looked at him curiously. She too wanted to know the reason.

Emperor Gouchen, one of the four lords of the Celestial World, was a true top expert.

For such a person to choose to restart his cultivation, something must have happened.

Tian Guangming was also really nosy and he too wanted to know.

The Celestial shook his head, “I don’t know the exact situation either.

But I know that it happened 1,000 years ago. I wasn’t born then and I just heard that Emperor Gouchen and the ruler weren’t happy with one another. They fought and he was defeated. His body was shattered and only a part of his soul escaped to the Nine Skies and Ten Lands.”

Emperor Gouchen and the Ruler fought and he lost. A part of his soul escaped into the Nine Skies and Ten Lands?

Li Xiandao asked, “How true is that?”

The Celestial shrugged, “I am not sure. Anyway, Emperor Gouchen’s name is a banned word in Celestial Dynasty. My teacher is someone from their judicial squad and he wants to kill Emperor Gouchen.”

“Your teacher is from their judicial squad?” Li Xiandao frowned.

“Right, I managed to be his student after paying huge amounts of treasures. But he didn’t pay attention to me and he just used me. Moreover, I only call him teacher and not Master.” The Celestial sighed and he felt really crestfallen.

“Why is your teacher so certain that you can kill Emperor Gouchen?” Li Xiandao asked.

“That is because he prepared a huge team. As long as I opened the Celestial Gate, they can come down and lay out a Heaven Slaying Star Fighting Formation to kill Emperor Gouchen.” The Celestial didn’t hesitate to say what he knew.

But his current situation was not good. If he didn’t say it or if he said something fake, and if Li Xiandao was angry, he would be unlucky.

So, he to not hold back and answer every question they asked.

Li Xiandao thought about it and said, “You are really honest. Tell me, how would you like to die?”

The Celestial shuddered and shouted, “I have tried my best to help you. I don’t want to die, is there any other choice?”

The Celestial didn’t want to die. When he was in the Celestial World, he was a talent with some future. Even if he didn’t go back and cultivated in Nine Skies and Ten Lands he could have a good life. He didn’t want to die.

Li Xiandao thought about it and said, “Okay, I shall give you a choice.”

“Okay.” The Celestial’s eyes lit up in gratitude.

“Pass your soul core to me and from now onwards you will be my prisoner.” Li Xiandao said calmly.

“This…” The Celestial looked at Li Xiandao with a complicated expression. What choice was that? If he didn’t die, then he would be a prisoner.

“Then die.” Li Xiandao took the Purple Crystal Sword from Seven. The sword laid straight in the sky and the cold sword energy pointed forwards, making the Celestial’s neck hurt.

“I choose the second option. Master, please accept me as your slave. I will give you everything. Even if you want to use me to be happy, just don’t lock me up.” The Celestial shouted. He lowered his head and actually raised his butt.

He was prepared to sacrifice himself.

Li Xiandao’s face turned black and he was annoyed, “Who wants you? I won’t take you as a slave. Hand over your soul and then just be a prisoner or I shall shatter your soul core.”

“Okay, okay.” The Celestial didn’t dare to say anything and just handed his soul core over.

Li Xiandao kept it and said, “What is your name?”

From start to finish, Li Xiandao didn’t know what his name was. Now that the problem was solved, he had to find out.

“Zhang San.” The Celestial said.

“Such a basic name?” Tian Guangming was shocked.

“My parents gave it to me. My parents aren’t cultured, so they named me according to the sequence of birth. The eldest is Zhang Da and I am the second, Zhang San. There is also Zhang Si and Zhang Wu, etc…” Zhang San said helplessly.

“There are so many in your family?” Tian Guangming giggled and said.

“All of them are gone. There are a bunch of corpses on the road to cultivation. I am 250 this year and their bodies have long turned into bones.” Zhang San sighed and said.

“That is quite tragic.” Tian Guangming understood that feeling. He was an orphan with no surviving family members.

Zhang San and Tian Guangming started to talk about such sad things in front of Li Xiandao.

Li Xiandao frowned and said calmly, “Tian Guangming, if you want to talk then go down. From now onwards, Zhang San will be imprisoned in the Bank of the Universe and won’t be allowed to head out. I don’t care about anything else.”

“Understood, Master!” Tian Guangming nodded.

“Bring him down.” Li Xiandao waved.

Tian Guangming immediately brought Zhang San down. Zhang San spoke the truth and Li Xiandao didn’t treat him too badly. He was locked up in the Bank of the Universe and apart from not being able to head out, there were no restrictions.

Tian Guangming brought Zhang San away and maybe because they were both alone, Tian Guangming built a house beside his own for Zhang San.

“You can just stay here. I carried you in so for you to stay near me, it has to be fate.” Tian Guangming said.

“What kind of person is your Master? What is this place? I can’t sense the Celestial World.” Zhang San asked curiously.

“My Master is the noblest person in the world. He is the strongest person and the best Master. Naturally, you will know if you come into contact with him. As for being unable to contact the Celestial World, of course, you aren’t able to do so. This is the Bank of the Universe’s main camp.” Tian Guangming said proudly.
