Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

With a flash of white light, a ten-foot-tall monstrosity clad in glossy black armor fell to the ground with a loud thud.

The Origin Guard bowed in his direction and respectfully stood still, waiting for David's command.

"Kill anyone who comes too close to us," David ordered in a cold voice.

The Origin Guard understood his words and moved to the side. Its black eyes under the metallic helmet scanned the surroundings with vigilance. If anyone dared to come too close, they would definitely meet a brutal death.

Meanwhile, after making arrangements for his safety, David bought an expensive bowl from the bank shop for a whopping hundred spirit stones. This time, he was going all out; his earlier purchase had rarely cost him fifty spirit stones.

In the next moment, a bowl made of polished white marble appeared in his hand, with unknown symbols carved on one side of its surface and a drawing of two horned demons roaring on the other side.

With just a glance, David knew this was some legendary shit.

In the blink of an eye, the Allheaven Canvas appeared, swallowed the bowl, and merged with it.

"Enlarge!"

After the merger, David threw the bowl in the air and started to pump mana towards the Allheaven Canvas.

In just a blink of an eye, the bowl enlarged and became tens of meters wide.

Boom!

It soon fell to the ground with a loud boom.

"Neat!" David muttered in amazement. Although he had thought the Allheaven Canvas would work as expected, seeing it in action was something else entirely.

A dome-shaped structure surrounded David from all sides. The interior of the bowl was pretty dim as the sunlight couldn't penetrate the bowl's surface, but David didn't really care about it.

He sat down on the ground, cross-legged, and closed his eyes, his face expressionless as he slowly breathed to clear his head of unnecessary thoughts.

David followed the Ancient DragoSpider Diagram instructions, and in the next moment, he appeared in front of a huge gate that seemed to stretch endlessly.

He looked around himself to see where he was. His body looked as if it was illusory, made of light particles, but at the same time, it felt real.

All around him was complete and pure darkness that could swallow even the brightest light in the universe.

The atmosphere was dark and eerie. Unknowingly, David felt goosebumps rising all over his body as if he was being watched by some primordial beast.

"Just calm down and focus," David yelled with a furious expression on his face, trying to push the fear out of his mind.

However, the more David tried to resist, the worse his situation became.

At this point, even his illusory legs started to shake. David couldn't understand what the fuck was going on.

No matter what David tried, the situation didn't change, and he stopped caring about it altogether.

David turned his gaze and looked at the huge gate in front of him.

The gate was humongous. Even after pushing his neck to the very back, he couldn't see its end.

It appeared to be made out of blackish crystal, with a diagram of two huge figures holding a sword in one hand and a flower that looked like a lotus with nine petals in the other.

David was confused. He didn't understand whether the gate was huge or his illusory body was abysmally small.

Well, whatever the case may be.

With shaking legs, he raised his hands in the direction of the gate and muttered, "Open."

However, there was silence. His words seemed to have no effect on the gate; it remained unmoving like a mountain.

"I said open!" David shouted again, his voice filled with a little anger, frustrated by the pathetic situation of his body.

This time, however, mana surged at his words and started to move like a torrential river, striking the huge gate.

The impact caused the space to shake slightly, but that was it. The gate refused to open.

David wasn't discouraged by the situation. As long as his efforts weren't worthless, he was going to repeat his actions.

Second time.

Third time.

Fourth time.

...

Hundredth time. It was only on the hundredth attempt that a small crack appeared between the gates.

David was overjoyed and poured all his strength into one last attempt to open the gate.

This time, a tide as big as the gate itself rose from the darkness and struck the gate in a dominating fashion, causing the gate to fling open.

As soon as the gate opened, David's illusory body disappeared and reappeared inside his spiritual space.

"So this is my Spiritual Space." David looked around in awe, not expecting it to be so huge.

Especially the huge towering pillar that encompassed the entirety of his spiritual space. When David looked at the ground below his feet, his gaze seemed to pierce the liquid mana, revealing the figure of a huge serpentine creature.

Its king cobra-like head supported the spiritual space. This was none other than the Ancient Dragospider.

David turned his head away and looked at the rapidly expanding space in amazement.

Finally, his eyes landed on the huge Yin and Yang symbol that was rapidly spinning and continuously pumping mana inside the spiritual space.

"So this is my Crystallization of Life," David muttered in awe.

It wasn't only his spiritual space that was transforming.

His body outside was undergoing tremendous change.

"Change" wouldn't be the correct word; it was more appropriate to call it a complete transformation as his body was fundamentally changing.

The muscles inside his body changed, going from red to a little blackish in color.

His skin became even more white and spotless.

David's hair, which was already long, rapidly grew and reached his waist.

Even his height seemed to have increased slightly.

David looked at the rapidly expanding spiritual in disbelief.

It was already beyond four kilometres in length and was showing no signs of stopping.
