At this rate, he might break through one major realm every year; it wouldn''t be long before he reached the absolute peak of this world, the Mortal Copse Realm.


    Sigh! He suddenly let out a sigh, and the smug smile from his face disappeared. What made him sigh was the text floating in front of him.


    [Crystallisation of Life needed to Breakthrough - 0/2000]


    "Two fucking thousand!!!!" David roared and smashed the table with his hands.


    If he got the option to extract a Crystallisation of Life every day, even then it would take him at least five years to Breakthrough.


    This was simply uneptable!!!


    The suddenmotion attracted the attention of Roxy, who was cooking something for herself.


    A momentter, she shook her head and didn''t pay attention to David anymore.


    After five minutes, David calmed down. He had no choice but to ept the situation as it was - after all, who told him to walk this path?


    Anyway, David was just overreacting; his cultivation speed was still ridiculous.


    Cultivators at the Body Integration Realm needed decades of umtion before they could make progress in their path of cultivation.


    Once his thoughts had calmed down, he decided to summon his Status report to see his progress.

    Remark: Congrattions on your sessful breakthrough. Don''t get too full of yourself and die while showing off.]


    This time David''s strength had doubled. Moreover, his lifespan had also tripled, reaching a staggering 10,000 years.


    If from now on David minded his own business and lived like a hermit, he could easily live for a couple of millennia.


    And not just that, most of his low-level Crystallisations of Life evolved by one grade.


    David was now a true powerhouse, capable of exploring the world unhindered. If he wanted, he could even establish a family in some corner of the world and live like a king.


    He looked at the sky with a nostalgic look in his eyes. David still remembered how he struggled in Darkwood City to find a Cultivation technique, and in just a few years, he had reached a realm which powerhouses like Damien could only dream of.


    But then an important question struck him: where would he be if he didn''t have the banking system?


    Inplete honesty, he would be dead by now, buried three feet under the ground.


    While David was reminiscing about the past and thinking about his own insignificance, the space around him flickered and slowly a figure materialized in front of him.


    It was Nichs Gravemount. In the past year, he had barely changed; he looked as youthful as ever, time didn''t seem to have left its mark on his body.


    If it wasn''t for his extraordinary temperament, people might even mistake him for a mortal.


    Seeing that David was lost in thought, Nichs didn''t disturb him.


    He felt the environment around David seemed to be filled with some sort of strange profoundness and started to contemte.


    David was already aware of Nichs'' presence but still didn''t bother to greet him; he felt there was no need for such simple formalities.


    After some time, calmness returned to David''s eyes and he acknowledged Nichs'' presence, saying, "Fellow Daoist, it''s nice to meet you after such a long period of time."


    His words seemed to be filled with a strange power that affected the world around his body.


    ''Did he make a Breakthrough?'' Nichs'' eyes seemed to be filled with incredulous looks before quickly reverting to normal.


    For a moment, Nichs thought that he might have misjudged, asst year there was no sign of anyone facing the heavenly tribtion.


    ''Could it be that he is like me?'' Nichs suddenly thought. Because of his Crystallisation of Life, he had never faced any Heavenly tribtion.


    All of his Breakthroughs were extremely safe; as such, he couldn''t rule out the possibility.


    Before Nichs could continue thinking, David opened his mouth and enquired, "Are all the preparationsplete?"


    After thinking for a long time, he had decided to hand over the responsibility of protecting the teleportation station of this city to the Whitetooth family.


    Earlier he had considered Luke, but his family''s strength wascking; moreover, the strongest expert in his family was only at the Body Integration realm.


    "Everything is ready. 24/7 this ce would be guarded by experts at the Void Refining Realm to make sure the formations run smoothly, and I have also arranged for two formation masters to look after its maintenance," Nichs exined everything in a calm andposed way.


    No matter how you looked at it, this was overkill - two Void Refining Realm experts to guard formations.


    How extravagant!


    Nichs wasn''t stupid; he was aware there was no need for him to do such things, but he had decided to show some sincerity once he realized that David had broken through.


    After hearing his arrangement, David nodded in satisfaction and Nichs'' image improved in his heart.


    David and Nichs then discussed some fine points of the cooperation and then left.


    He looked at the sky and sighed; it was now time to head back to Nightde city and purchase the bank building.


    ...


    "Finally back!!" Mary cried out loud in joy; she seemed to be unaffected by the difort caused by teleportation.


    In the next moment, she walked out of the formation circle.


    ''Where''s the duck at?'' her eyes scanning the entire hall looking for one inconspicuous duck.


    "B~burrito, where are you?"


    David ignored her departing figure and stabilized his breathing. Even though he had already reached Body Integration realm, he was still somewhat affected by the sudden shift.


    If even he was affected, not to talk about those at Body Refining realm - Roxy just wanted to puke her guts out but miraculously resisted the urge.


    David paid no attention to the poor girl but looked at the interior hall which was in pristine clean condition.


    Everything was in superb condition; it appeared there was no one who hade to cause trouble.


    Of course, it was obvious there was no trouble - it would be surprising if someone dared to cause trouble at all, especially when Origin Guard was watching over this ce.


    Now that David was already at the Body Integration realm, Origin Guard''s cultivation would have also reached the peak of Yin and Yang Realm, turning him into an absolute powerhouse who was capable of ttening the city.


    Stay connected with м??


    While thinking, David walked out and his divine sense instantly covered the whole Nightde city including the area surrounding it.


    From the Little Sun vige to L camp, everything was under his watch.


    Just as he was about to dig deep and find who the strongest person in the city was, a blue window shed in front of his eyes.


    [Regretfully! You lost one of your clients today. However, the Bank of Eternal Origin can never suffer a loss.


    Even if he died, the client will have to pay back somehow; therefore his soul was captured. You now have the following options, keep in mind that you can only choose one.


    1 - Extract Client''s Crystallisation of Life (One thought Gives birth to thousands, Grade - Heavenly king)


    2 - Extract Julius''s memories from his birth till his death


    3 - Any item that client owned in his lifetime


    4 - Do Nothing, let thepound interest do its thing and decide again when the Client dies in his next life


    Please note as capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires arge amount of mana, because of which you only have two hours left to make a choice.]


    Without even bothering to read the entire notification, David was attracted by the Crystallisation of Life.


    In the next moment, he had already made his decision and chose the first option.


    Immediately, another strange ball filled with numerous mysterious runes, containing the rules of the universe, appeared and merged with his Crystallisation of Life.


    The huge pentagram slowly rotated and absorbed the Crystallisation of Life in the blink of an eye.


    Below the huge pentagram, the red blood seemed to churn as if it wanted to swallow the three suns shining overhead.


    A huge Ancient Dragon Spider looked at the scene with strange eyes.


    In just a few years, that ignorant youth from before had transformed into a full-fledged expert.
