Chapter 497: Solution!
Decay of the angel!
Li Xiandao knew about it as he had read records about it in the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository.
Celestials were supreme and had eternal life.
If one became a Celestial, even if one was the lowest grade, one’s lifespan would be a minimum of 100,000 years.
Those Celestial World experts were young even at a million years old.
In the long annals of time, they would face tribulation too. These tribulations come from different places, some were killing tribulations and some were personal struggles…
Decay of the angel was one of them and it came from within the body.
When one got it, one’s body would excrete impurities, one’s lifespan would burn, one would lose their sight and senses and their cultivation would weaken.
Once all these steps appeared, a Celestial would reach their end and welcome death.
There were a few defensive methods against the decay of the angel, but normally speaking, no one knew whether or not they would get it.
Along with cultivation prospering in the Celestial World, more and more people came up with different techniques.
The Decay of the angel was invented and it became a lethal attack.
Coincidentally, those Celestials who came down all knew it. In the battle against Nether Purple Mountain, they gathered all their strength to use it, shooting it into Nether Purple Mountain’s mountain spirit body.
Although Nether Purple Mountain killed them, a serious consequence was left in his own body.
It was unable to solve the decay of the angel and could only suppress it and stop it from spreading.
But after 30,000 years, a few signs still appeared.
Firstly, the physical body would excrete impurities.
Nether Purple Mountain’s mountain body turned black. That was the secretion of impurities. Originally, it was purple gold in color and looked really beautiful.
Second was the burning of lifespan.
Nether Purple Mountain was a mountain god, its lifespan was very long, but during these 30,000 years, it actually burned 200,000 years…
Thirdly, cultivation weakened.
When the Nether Purple Mountain’s mountain spirit was at its peak, it could fight one against a dozen. Even with everyone’s cultivation being suppressed, it could still fight one against dozen and get the upper hand.
It didn’t dare to attack Li Xiandao now as that showed how much it had weakened.
It had obtained three of the five curses. This was even after its body suppressed it and it didn’t move for such a long time.
But with it slowly eating into it, Nether Purple Mountain’s mountain spirit couldn’t do anything.
After Li Xiandao heard it, he was in deep thought and communicated with Seven. He explained the situation and asked, “Is there anything we can do to get rid of the decay of the angel?”
The Bank of the Universe was extremely skilled but with a large loss of functions now, could it deal with the decay of the angel?
Seven thought about it and said, “Temporarily no as its decay of the angel is really serious. 30,000 years have passed and if it was another Celestial, he would have died already but it managed to hold on. The price was that the decay of the angel had seeped into the entire Nether Purple Mountain. To change it, we need to bring it back and unlock the sixth mountain peak. We will toss it in and let the sixth mountain refine Nether Purple Mountain into a treasure.”
“Unlock it and then toss the Nether Purple Mountain in to refine into a treasure to change it. Then it will live on this world as a treasure and not a being.” Li Xiandao’s eyes lit up, this was a good idea.
Li Xiandao immediately told this idea to Nether Purple Mountain’s mountain spirit.
“Think about it, this is the only way to save you now.” Li Xiandao said.
Nether Purple Mountain immediately knelt down towards Li Xiandao and shouted, “Thank you Master for your saving grace.”
It knew that Li Xiandao was saving it. If it didn’t show loyalty and annoyed Li Xiandao, he might end up throwing him down the side of the mountain. It didn’t know how long it could survive then.
As for its gratitude towards the former Master, Nether Purple Mountain expressed that he didn’t care anymore.
“I signed the contract with the Bank of the Universe and not with a certain person.” Nether Purple Mountain said firmly. Its eyes lit up as it knelt in front of Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao was satisfied, “Then, prepare yourself. I will bring you to the Bank of the Universe but you need to pass me the purple crystals that you accumulated. I need them to unlock the sixth peak.”
Nether Purple Mountain’s face froze and it looked at Li Xiandao with an awkward expression.
“Don’t tell me that you have no more purple crystals.” Li Xiandao blinked and asked.
“After I got hit by the decay of the angel, apart from suppressing myself, I absorbed the purple crystal’s energy to replenish myself to slow down the decay.” Nether Purple Mountain gave an awkward smile and said.
“So, it is understandable that I absorbed the purple crystals, right?” Nether Purple Mountain said.
Li Xiandao sighed helplessly and said, “Then you need to wait for some time. Once I get enough resources, I will then be able to unlock the sixth mountain and then refine you.”
“Master, do you lack resources?” Nether Purple Mountain asked.
Li Xiandao nodded.
If he didn’t lack resources, he wouldn’t have bothered to find him.
“I don’t have purple crystals. I have used the crystals that I accumulated and my body has been infected by the decay, so no purple crystals are being produced.” Nether Purple Mountain sighed.
“Then, you can only wait.” Li Xiandao said helplessly.
“I don’t have but someone else do.” Nether Purple Mountain smiled.
“Who?” Li Xiandao asked.
“I need a lot, at least the amount stored in a 100,000-year top faction.” Li Xiandao reminded Nether Purple Mountain.
“No problem. The people I am referring to might even have more than 10 of those top factions.” Nether Purple Mountain said firmly.
“Where?” Li Xiandao asked right away.
Nether Purple Mountain turned into a stone man and pointed to the ground.
Li Xiandao frowned, “You are talking about the Celestials that you killed?”
“Right, each one of them is a Celestial. They are really strong and have many treasures. I didn’t take them and can pass them to Master now.” Nether Purple Mountain nodded.
“Where are their tombs?” Li Xiandao asked.
“They are being suppressed under my main body. ” Nether Purple Mountain said.
Li Xiandao blinked. Just beneath his feet there were dozens of Celestial tombs. Who knew whether or not those people searching outside would feel depressed?
They had searched for many days and didn’t find anything. Li Xiandao didn’t bother about searching but now they appeared under him.
Luck and fate was just so unpredictable.
“Open these Celestial tombs. I will take away the treasures and resources and see whether or not I can unlock the sixth mountain.” Li Xiandao instructed.
“Okay.” Nether Purple Mountain was really well behaved. Since this concerned his life and safety, he cared even more than Li Xiandao.
“Master, these treasures will definitely attract a lot of attention.” Nether Purple Mountain was worried.
“No worries, I am here.” Li Xiandao said with confidence.
“Okay then.” Nether Purple Mountain immediately pulled out those Celestial tombs.
