Black Myth: Starting from the Destined One
Chapter 138 - 138 134 Dragon Capital Sky Tower
Chapter 138: Chapter 134: Dragon Capital Sky Tower Chapter 138: Chapter 134: Dragon Capital Sky Tower “Spirit Dispersion allows one to sense the universe and oneself, while Spirit Gathering lets one control objects in the invisible realm!”
At advanced stages of cultivation, one could use their thoughts and Divine Sense to move enormous entities such as the Five Peaks and Rivers and Seas.
Previously, Zixia, Yan Chixia, and Yiye Zhiqiu’s swords unsheathed themselves and automatically engaged others, a utilization of the Teleportation Divine Skill.
Naturally, Li Ping’an had just stepped into the mysterious heart realm, and his Divine Travel’s range wasn’t too extensive, about twenty meters around him. His ability to teleport items also wasn’t far-reaching, currently limited to objects right before his eyes like a teacup or the Hundred Plays Steel Rod!
“The advancement in my cultivation has improved all aspects of my abilities, evolving my spells and Divine Skills. As an Earth Immortal, I should be capable of handling upcoming unknown situations, and even if I can’t defeat an opponent, I possess the ability to escape!”
Overjoyed, Li Ping’an suppressed his excitement and continued to delve deeper into his studies and cultivation…
Time flew by swiftly, and six hours later, the special train finally arrived in Yan Kingdom’s capital, Dragon Capital City.
Yet before he could take in the splendor and scenery of Dragon Capital, he had just disembarked the special train when a car at the station entrance picked him and the man in sunglasses up, directly taken out of the train station to an unknown destination.
Gazing at the pedestrians and tall buildings outside the car window, Li Ping’an was not in the mood to converse with the man in sunglasses. In his idleness, he used Divine Power: Insight into the Hidden with a casual glance, only to witness an eerie sight, that of ghosts.
Ghosts were everywhere, which wasn’t surprising, but what was peculiar was that the ghosts floating in the streets of Dragon Capital were all staring in one direction, motionless.
Furthermore, as the car drove further, more and more ghosts appeared, as dense as a school of fish crossing a river.

“Where are we going?”
Li Ping’an suddenly turned his head to look at the man in sunglasses beside him.
“To the Dragon Capital Sky Tower.”
“Dragon Capital Sky Tower?”
Li Ping’an inquired with surprise:
“I’ve heard of all the famous buildings in Dragon Capital, but how come I’ve never heard of the Dragon Capital Sky Tower?”
“Oh, about that…”
The man in sunglasses pointed towards the tallest building in Dragon Capital City, explaining:
“That’s the Dragon Capital Sky Tower, three hundred meters tall, currently the tallest building in Dragon Capital City. The first to fifth floors house a large shopping mall, and from the fifth floor to fiftieth floor, there are three five-star hotels…”

“Go on,”
Li Ping’an immediately pressed:
“What’s above the fiftieth floor?”
The man in sunglasses chuckled awkwardly:
“It’s a company…”
“Whose company?”
The man in sunglasses thought for a moment but still answered truthfully:
“It’s nominally the Council President’s brother’s, but actually, it’s the Council President’s company…”
Li Ping’an tilted his head and grinned:
“I thought public officers were not allowed to engage in business activities. How come the Council President is leading by breaking the rules?”
The man in sunglasses hurriedly explained:
“Immortal Li, you have misunderstood. That place isn’t used by the Council President for business to make money, it is, it is…”
Li Ping’an pressed for an answer:
“What is it?”
“Hahaha, I don’t know either. You’ll find out when you get there…”
“Heh.”
Seeing that he was tight-lipped and didn’t reveal anything he shouldn’t, Li Ping’an decided not to ask further. However, given the strange scene he had just witnessed, he couldn’t help but continue to inquire:
“So, you’re saying I’ll meet the Council President there tonight?”
“Exactly, since you’re not a government official, you can’t enter the Parliament Council or the place where the Council President resides. Hence, you’re going to meet with the Council President there…”
“Alright…”
Having received his answer, Li Ping’an nodded and stopped asking further questions, instead continuing to use Divine Power: Insight into the Hidden to observe the ghosts outside the window.
An hour later, at exactly seven o’clock on the evening of September 13th, the car carrying Li Ping’an finally arrived at its destination, the Dragon Capital Sky Tower—the tallest building in the entire Dragon Capital.
Coming out from the parking lot and standing on the transparent elevator, he watched the bustling mall filled with people and vibrant with life. He then saw the office workers still working overtime in their offices.
If his fate hadn’t changed, he might have ended up like those office workers, still working overtime after hours, busy with life.

With a ding, the elevator finally stopped on the forty-ninth floor. The man with sunglasses led Li Ping’an to a five-star hotel where a room had been prepared. Li Ping’an checked in without registering.
“Immortal Li, you’ve traveled far and wide for a long time. Rest here for a while. I’ve already asked the room service to prepare your dinner. I’ll come for you at 7:50 to formally meet the Council President!”
“Okay.”
With that, the man with sunglasses closed the door from the outside.
Taking advantage of the solitude, Li Ping’an quickly took out the weapons and equipment from his storage gourd, placed them on the bed, and prepared to wear them when going to meet the Council President. If they harbored any intentions of killing him, he’d immediately flee, fighting his way out.
“Hello esteemed guest, room service is here with your meal.”
“Okay, wait a moment.”
Li Ping’an let the room service staff come in, and two waiters entered pushing a cart, filling the room’s dining table with food.

After finishing dinner and checking the time, which was only 7:40, there were still ten minutes left before meeting the Council President.
With nothing else to do and having eaten his fill, Li Ping’an lay on the bed and turned on the TV to pass the time by watching some television.
“What are these shows even about? What kind of dramas are these? They lack acting skills and a good story. The male lead looks like an eunuch, and the female lead looks like she’s had plastic surgery, it’s all a pile of crap!”
After switching through several channels and finding nothing of interest to watch, he complained and decided to turn off the TV and play with his phone to watch some videos.
“Hmm?”
As Li Ping’an switched to another channel, a historical immortal hero drama appeared on TV, showing a scene where disciples from a sect were competing in swordsmanship.

“What a pretense, totally boring. Watching you all perform martial arts is even worse than watching my Hundred Plays Stick Technique!”
Suddenly feeling spirited, Li Ping’an picked up the Hundred Plays Steel Rod lying on the bed and started practicing in the spacious room.
Though the Hundred Plays Steel Rod might not look as prestigious as a sword and even seems a bit rustic, its power is not inferior to that of swords, and it also has a flexible feature.
The corresponding Cultivation Technique, Hundred Plays Stick Technique, doesn’t follow complicated or tricky paths but is rather nimble and graceful, with great strength. It combines many advantages of weapons, mainly focusing on hitting, stabbing, knocking, chopping, piercing, and swinging.
As the technique was boldly upright and imposing, the conception of “Divine” followed the stick as it moved, responding to the heart’s motion, Li Ping’an unknowingly infused mana from his body into the Hundred Plays Steel Rod during his practice.
