In the Sacred Land of Spiritual Void, there were continuous mountains and magnificent buildings, presenting an extremely majestic sight. However, it was a pity that it was silent and empty, without a single soul in sight!
The entire vast Sacred Land of Spiritual Void was deserted.
Aiden appeared on the summit of a mountain, standing tall and slender in the strong wind. His robes fluttered and his hair danced wildly.
He saw Radiant Sky sitting silently in the distance, not knowing what was on his mind.
"There are still a long fourteen years to go. Why did you come back so soon? What do you want?" Aiden spoke, and his voice carried far with the wind.
Radiant Sky, who had been resting across several mountains, suddenly stood up. His eyes were ablaze as he stared at Aiden. His figure vanished from where he was and flew to Aiden's side.
"You've broken through. Saint Lord level combat power. Not bad!" Aiden looked at Radiant Sky, somewhat surprised that he had broken through so quickly.
He had originally thought that it would take Radiant Sky at least three months to break through!
But now he had achieved it in less than a week. This was too fast and didn't match his rather ordinary talent.
Aiden examined Radiant Sky, and Radiant Sky was also sizing him up.
The experiences of these past few days had shaken the beliefs of Radiant Sky, who had been firmly committed to cultivation since childhood.
The Heaven and Earth Bank, a place where anything could be traded.
There was someone who sold his own talent and exchanged it for an immortal weapon to exact vengeance!
What he couldn't have imagined was that he himself had also sold fourteen years of freedom in exchange for five hundred thousand divine sources to break through!
Just how much power did the Heaven and Earth Bank possess?
Radiant Sky had refused the position of leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect and returned here because he felt that he could see the future in the Heaven and Earth Bank.
It was a vague idea, and he didn't even know why he had such a thought.
Even if the Heaven and Earth Bank could provide an immortal weapon for a young man at the Asking Dao Realm to exact vengeance, so what?
Why could he see the future?
Radiant Sky himself couldn't provide an answer, but deep in his heart, he firmly believed it.
"I came back because I respect the contract. A true man keeps his word. Since I sold you fourteen years of my life, from now on, for the next fourteen years, I am your subordinate, your enforcer. I can do things for you as long as it doesn't violate my moral principles," Radiant Sky said in a solemn voice.
Since he had come back, he wouldn't change this decision.
The corners of Aiden's mouth turned up, and he said, "Very well. It seems that you attach great importance to the contract. That's good. In this era, having such a sense of contract makes me rather pleased."
Compared to the large number of bad debts in the Heaven and Earth Bank, where a bunch of scoundrels didn't take contracts seriously and casually defaulted after signing them.
In contrast, Radiant Sky was quite good. He respected the contract and would fulfill what he had signed.
Although his first impression wasn't great, now Aiden had a higher opinion of Radiant Sky. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since from now on, for the next fourteen years, you are part of my Heaven and Earth Bank, then come in and meet the master."
Radiant Sky's expression became solemn. Meeting the mysterious master, he still felt a lot of pressure.
Aiden simply waved his wide sleeve, and Radiant Sky disappeared from where he was and entered the Heaven and Earth Bank.
Immediately after, Aiden also stepped into the Heaven and Earth Bank, changed his clothes, and put on the dark-golden mask.
Radiant Sky looked around the main hall, still marveling in his heart. The Aiden outside had no cultivation level, but with a wave of his sleeve, even with his Saint Lord level combat power, he couldn't resist and was obediently brought in.
Terrifying!
Tap, tap, tap!
Aiden walked in and looked at Radiant Sky. "Have you made up your mind to fulfill this fourteen-year contract?"
Radiant Sky said respectfully, "Naturally, I will fulfill it."
"Good. From now on, you are part of my Heaven and Earth Bank and no longer part of the Heavenly Dao Sect. For the next fourteen years, be obedient. After fourteen years, you are free to leave," Aiden said with satisfaction.
"As you command, master!" Radiant Sky nodded solemnly.
"Just in time. I also have a task for you to handle," Aiden's eyes rolled, and he said calmly.
"Your subordinate will surely do his best, go all out, and never shirk!" Radiant Sky said loudly.
Aiden waved his hand and said, "This task is actually quite simple. I want you to collect a debt."
Radiant Sky was surprised and said, "Collect a debt?"
"Yes. I highly praise your character of respecting the contract because it is very rare. In this world, many people forget the words they signed as soon as they turn around and treat contracts as child's play. There are many bad debts in the Heaven and Earth Bank. This time, you go and collect them back for me," Aiden said in a solemn voice, his expression somewhat displeased.
After awakening his talent, he had sorted through the Heaven and Earth Bank from top to bottom and was then stunned by the countless defaulted debts.
Those contracts, signed in black and white, but there were many people who didn't honor them.
Not only were there contracts from the Great Departure Land, but also from the other Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, including the Immortal Realm.
No wonder the previous masters had all died. With such a large amount of bad debts, Aiden was shocked when he saw them. If they didn't die, who would?
"What debt are we collecting?" Radiant Sky asked curiously.
"The Great River Sword Sect, the supreme secret manual, the Great River Sword Qi!" Aiden's eyes were cold.
Radiant Sky was truly astonished and said, "The Great River Sword Sect is the number one swordsmanship sect in the Great Departure Land. Its strength is seemingly even stronger than that of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Their ancestral cultivation technique, the Great River Sword Qi, is even more terrifying. It is said to have the power to cut down the Milky Way and shatter the Nine Heavens!"
"That's right. When cultivated to the peak, the Great River Sword Qi has such power!" Aiden nodded and said.
The Great River Sword Qi descends from the heavens, a single sword strike to cut down the Nine Heavens!
This was the best evaluation of the Great River Sword Qi!
The Great River Sword Qi was truly that powerful!
"The Great River Sword Qi belongs to us, the Heaven and Earth Bank?" Radiant Sky could hardly believe it. This was the lifeblood of the Great River Sword Sect.
Aiden nodded and said, "Ten thousand years ago, the founding patriarch of the Great River Sword Sect borrowed the cultivation technique of the Great River Sword Qi from the Heaven and Earth Bank with his own soul. Then, relying on the Great River Sword Qi, he founded the swordsmanship sect, the Great River Sword Sect."
Radiant Sky opened his mouth wide. He had never expected that the founding patriarch of the Great River Sword Sect had also come to the Heaven and Earth Bank!
And had exchanged his soul for this rare and peerless swordsmanship cultivation technique, the Great River Sword Qi!
"The contract clearly states that this founding patriarch was to return the Great River Sword Sect to the Heaven and Earth Bank after ten thousand years and also present an immortal weapon to redeem his soul. Now the time has come, but he has still made no move," Aiden said in a faint voice.
Radiant Sky immediately said, "There is an immortal weapon in the Great River Sword Sect. It is also a long sword. The patriarch of the Great River Sword Sect obtained it after going through great hardships in a secret realm. But after bringing back the immortal weapon, the patriarch of the Great River Sword Sect announced that he was going into seclusion due to serious injuries, and the Great River Sword Sect began to pass on to the next generation until now."
Aiden's eyes were deep, and he said, "Regardless of whether the patriarch of the Great River Sword Sect is still alive or not, and regardless of whether he brought back that immortal weapon with the intention of fulfilling the contract, the fact is that he has defaulted. I want you to recover this debt."
"I can't defeat the people of the Great River Sword Sect," Radiant Sky's face turned slightly red, and he said softly.
He wasn't unwilling to go. It was just that even with his Saint Lord level combat power now, he couldn't single-handedly break into the Great River Sword Sect.
"There will be helpers going with you," Aiden waved his hand, and his first Battle Angel walked out coldly.
