Chapter 130: Golden Core

"Damn! This guy managed to survive for so long." David read through the notification and commented with a small smile on his face.

To be completely honest, he had really forgotten about Jack; it was only now that he remembered that silly guy.

For him to survive for so long in such a chaotic world filled with death and conspiracies at every single step.

It was really surprising.

David looked at the blue window floating before his eyes and frowned.

"What to choose now?"

He was now in a dilemma, whether to absorb Jack's Crystallization of Life and break through or to wait, as the guy seemed to be really lucky.

In the end, he made a difficult choice and clicked on the fourth option, letting the compound interest do its thing.

David didn't regret his choice one bit; he was sure one day or another, one of the random guys that he had invested in was going to die, and then he could extract their Crystallization of Life.

So breaking through wasn't going to be a problem in the future.

After David made his choice, the flickering blue window disappeared.

Now he could focus once again on the problem inside his Spiritual Space.

If he were to believe the pill's effectiveness, then there should be no outside forces involved; the problem should be internal.

And it wasn't like he didn't have any culprit in mind.

The most likely suspect was the gargantuan Ancient Dragospider, but it could not pose any threat to David. If he wanted, he could make it disappear from his Spiritual Space with nothing but a mere thought.

When David's train of thoughts reached this point, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Sigh!

In the next moment, he let out a tired sigh and focused on the real world before his eyes.

"Everything okay?" Mary asked in concern after seeing him so worked up.

"It's nothing," David shook his head and smiled.

After hearing her words, a radiant smile appeared on her innocent face.

"Anyway, I always wanted to ask, what is the length of your Spiritual Space?" Mary asked while looking at David deeply.

David was ranked tenth in the ranking, and just below him was Mary at eleventh when she was still at the Foundation Building Realm. She was curious as to how wide the gap was between the two ranks.

He heard her question and internally chuckled at her attempt to lighten the mood and couldn't stop himself from joking.

"Mary, it is rude to ask a guy about lengths." After saying those words, he shook his head in disappointment.

"What are you saying?"

"How could asking about length be rude?"

Mary didn't immediately understand what David was talking about.

She looked at him in confusion, trying to understand the meaning behind his words.

"I don't care if it's rude, just answer me." She insisted with a stubborn expression on her face.

David found her expression funny and wanted to laugh out but he resisted the urge with all his might.

After looking at her for a moment, David spoke with a resigned expression on his face.

"Although it is rude, since you are shameless enough to ask such a question, I'll only answer."

Like a parent who was forced to accept the shortcomings of a child and move on.

"39 kilometers," David lied with a straight face without even blinking his eyes.

After saying those words, he immediately fell silent as if he had used all his strength in speaking those two words.

The next moment, he plopped back in his chair like a lazy frog and took a sip of the coffee that had unknowingly appeared in his hands.

Immediately after one sip, a smile filled with satisfaction appeared on David's face.

On the other hand, Mary's eyes widened in surprise when she heard the answer.

"That's a lot of length." After some time, she slowly muttered, still in the process of trying to come to terms with reality.

Although there was not much difference between her and David's spiritual space right now, it would slowly multiply in the future.

How far a cultivator will walk on the path of cultivation greatly depended on their achievements at the Foundation Building Realm.

If David's words were to be believed, his future potential was limitless.

It was at this time an arrogant duckling who felt like he was being purposefully ignored also spoke.

"Father, what are you talking about?"

The eternally lit cigarette in his hands burned even more intensely as he spoke those words.

"Shut up! It's not something children like you should stick their nose in." This time it was David who cut him off.

Hearing David's words, the arrogant duckling was greatly hurt.

Mary also wanted to say something, but once she heard David's words, she shook her head and fell silent.

It would be bullying if she also chided Borrito. S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Instead, she smiled and patted Borrito's fluffy head to calm him down.

Suddenly David's eyes flashed with glee.

The notification that he was wishing for finally appeared in front of him.

[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 Crystallization of Life (Fierce Punch, Grade - Uncommon)

2 - Extract Jin's memories from his birth till his death.

3 - Any item that client owned in his lifetime.

4 - Do Nothing, let the compound 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 a large amount of mana, you only have eleven hours left to make a choice.]

He could finally extract the Crystallization of Life that he desperately needed to break through.

David resisted the urge to immediately choose the second option.

In the next moment, he got up from his chair and started packing up.

Flicking his wrist, he stored the table back in his inventory.

Mary and Borrito were also surprised by this sudden change and looked at his actions with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"What happened?" Mary asked.

"I am going to break through," David answered without even looking at her. His actions were swift and precise as he kept everything back in the storage ring at fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, David's notorious stall completely disappeared.

David's answer left Mary tongue-tied. What did he mean by breakthrough?

"Do you think breaking through is as easy as breathing?" Mary spoke with slight ridicule in her voice, not believing his words at all.

However, David wasn't one to argue about such small things, nor did he have the energy to explain.

Seeing that David wasn't going to answer her questions, Mary fell silent.

"Where to go now?" David thought in his head.

Should he break through inside this settlement or look for a place outside?

David didn't need to think any further as he already had an answer in his head.

The settlement was safer compared to the outside.

"Follow me." With those words, he started to move toward his room that he had taken on rent.

Seeing his serious expression, Mary silently followed him with an arrogant duckling in her hands.

In barely five minutes, David arrived in his room.

The room was completely empty inside. If the landlord who gave this room to David was here, he would have been greatly surprised.

After all, David had taken this room to store corpses that he bought.

Immediately, David sat cross-legged and summoned the Allheaven Canvas to surround him.

The canvas followed the instructions; in the next moment, David and the others were covered in a dome-shaped structure.

He didn't need to say anything to Mary; David expected her to act according to the changing situation.

After making the arrangements, David extracted the Crystallization of Life.

And immediately, a sense of completeness filled his body.

The feeling was so satisfactory that it couldn't be described with words.

David didn't hurry to rush inside his spiritual space but first looked at the Status report as he wanted to do a comparison once the transformation was complete.

After taking a look, he closed the window and closed his eyes.

Mary, who was standing some distance away from David, also sat down and looked at him with confusion.

She didn't understand what the rush was.

Cultivators with bigger spiritual spaces generally took their time in stabilizing their space; once they knew that it was strong enough, only then would they begin breaking through.
