Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

He had to think of something. Although his body was strong, it was not strong enough to take on tens of missiles head-on.

Without thinking for another moment, he flicked his wrist, and a table made of some unknown material appeared behind him. Without needing his command, the Allheaven Canvas merged with it instantly, responding without a command.

David's heart pounded in his chest as he spotted the missiles from the corner of his eye.

Without wasting any more time, he unhesitatingly poured almost fifty percent of his mana into the Allheaven Canvas.

Immediately afterward, David felt a strong sense of weakness, and his head started to spun.

The almost completely grayish sea in his spiritual space fell by half. However, the fall was only momentary, as in the next moment, the huge Yin and Yang symbol in the center of David's spiritual space pumped even more mana.

Meanwhile In reality, the small table summoned by David had grown enormously, shielding him from the incoming missiles.

Although it had taken too long to describe, all these actions happened almost instantaneously.

Boom!

A huge explosion rocked the sky, the impact sending hot gases spiraling outward in the shape of a large spherical ball.

For a moment, it looked as though a second sun had appeared in the sky.

Strangely, no one below glanced up, as if they hadn't witnessed the giant explosion in the sky.

All of them had an eerie, calm smile on their faces, even when, a couple of hundred meters away, a giant chair fell from the sky and crushed hundreds of people.

Not a single one of them batted an eye, as if the commotion had nothing to do with them.

David, hundreds of meters away, didn't have time to witness their strange behavior. His focus remained on the table.

After being bombarded with tens of missiles, the enormous table only shook slightly, causing David to sigh in relief.

Thankfully for him, the Bank's products were reliable; otherwise, even with his strong body, he would have been seriously injured after being struck by the missiles.

***

North of Eternal Dream City was a secluded mountain range, hidden away from prying eyes.

The monstrous trio and an arrogant duck stood beside a glowing formation.

At this time, Mary had a worried look in her eyes as she looked at the sky.

Even Borrito's small, beady eyes were filled with anxiety. On the other hand, Sebastian's expression was calm and composed as he meticulously examined the formation carved on the ground.

Ruby, on the other hand, was ready to leave at a moment's notice. This place was too strange; she didn't want to die now that she had gotten a second chance.

***

Summoning every last bit of his strength, David pushed his speed to its limit. The ground beneath him blurred as he streaked toward the mountain, his chest heaving up and down violently.

"Not again!"

The Web of Mindfulness vibrated once more. The mechs behind him had unleashed another barrage of missiles, but David's lightning-fast reflexes kept him just ahead of the explosions, dodging by a hair's breadth.

David's heart pounded like a war drum as he spotted a faint glow of the teleportation formation in the distance. It was only a matter of time before he successfully escaped from this place.

He only hoped that they wouldn't suddenly nuke him out of existence.

Mary's eyes suddenly brightened, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face; she finally caught sight of David's figure in the sky.

"Hey! Darling, here!" Mary shouted loudly to attract David's attention, even though she didn't need to, as the glow of the formation was enough to let David know where they were.

Borrito heard her words and started to jump in excitement.

Mary suddenly turned her head toward the formation and lightly said, "Place the Void Stone at the center."

Hearing her words, Sebastian nodded, carefully retrieved the nearly transparent stone from his storage ring, and gently placed it in the center of the formation.

In the next moment, the formation brightened and started to pulsate rhythmically.

The formation was successfully activated, and if nothing went wrong, it would teleport them to Sebastian's hometown.

"Start moving; the connection won't last for long," Mary urged.

Even before she spoke, Ruby moved on her own and entered the formation and disappeared.

She was followed by Sebastian and Mary, finally, Borrito.

In the next moment, David fearfully dove into the heart of the formation. The world around him warped and twisted as the teleportation magic gripped his body, transporting him far away from this place.

When David opened his eyes again, he was in a lush green forest filled to the brim with vitality.

The sound of chirping birds and gently rustling leaves calmed his tensed mind.

Beside him were his four companions, looking at the surroundings with curiosity just like him.

Only Sebastian was frowning hard.

However, before David could closely examine his surroundings, he was hit by a system notification.

[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 Crystallion of Life (Blink, Grade - Heavenly King)

2 - Extract Ryan's memories from his birth until his death.

3 - Any item that the 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 that capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana, which is why you only have 10 minutes left to make a choice.]

It was Ryan once again.

This was the first time in months that David had received this notification.

During his stay in the Eternal World, he had not received a single notification, as if he was frozen in time.
