"What the hell, why am I involved in this all of a sudden …" Lin Yi was speechless as he smiled bitterly. "Did he help you after that? I think so, or else how did you get to the common world? "
The ghost went silent for a while and said faintly, "I guess he helped me half. @ "
"Half? What's that supposed to mean? "Lin Yi paused.
"Nothing much, I just kept bugging him, and that old thing got annoyed by my nagging, so he agreed to fight with me. If I won, he'd help me, but if I lost, then there's nothing left to talk about, and I'd never bother him again," the ghost explained.
"And then? What happened? " Lin Yi asked impatiently- he really wanted to know who was stronger between the ghost and Zhang Liju, these two peak existences.
"We fought for three days and nights, from the sky to the ground to the sea, and in the process, we even destroyed five small islands, and neither of us won. It was a draw …" The ghost's tone was a little excited as it talked about this. After all, an opponent like Zhang Liju, who was almost undefeatable, was hard to find in this world.
"Ugh, that was really intense." Lin Yi couldn't help but be speechless. From what he knew, the stronger the practitioner, the more they would focus on killing in one hit, especially at the level of this ghost and Zhang Liju. Normally, they would be able to decide who was stronger in one move, but the two fought for three days and three nights without a clear winner. It was obvious that they were on par with each other.
"It was indeed intense. Other than Zhang Liju, I've never met an opponent like this before. Even Vermilion Bird wasn't this difficult to deal with, and it was a piece of cake. I have to say, that old thing is really something. " The ghost nodded and sighed. As the previous Green Dragon, he had always been proud and arrogant, and other than the spirit beast king, he rarely respected anyone like this. Zhang Liju was a rare exception.
"What happened after that?" Lin Yi continued.
"After that? No one lost, and no one won. The previous bet can't be counted. Since we fought to a draw, I can only help half of it. That old thing didn't help me open the formation passage, but he lent me the Five Elements Divine Stone, so I can go to the secular world. However, the price I have to pay is that I've been tortured by that huge pressure. Hehe, I've ended up like this … "The ghostly thing said in a self-deprecating manner.
"I see." Lin Yi nodded. He already knew what happened next, so there was no need to continue asking. But after some thought, he asked, "Wait, if Zhang Liju didn't open the portal because he didn't want his seven wives to get hurt, then why did he go to the common world?"
The reason why he asked this was because Lin Yi suddenly remembered that the cauldron in the tomb had disappeared for some reason. If he was right, it should be Zhang Liju's doing. This meant that he had been to the common world at least once.
Could it be that he ran into some emergency that he couldn't even care about his seven wives? With the protective nature that the ghost described, that didn't seem possible, right?
"He did tell me. Since it was a tie, he could help me open the formation channel after a while. However, the prerequisite was that he had to wait until his wives' strength had increased to the same realm. Only then would he be able to open the formation channel. At most, they'll just use up some pure qi, and they won't all get hurt or fall unconscious. They'll recover after a few years of rest, so there's no need to take any risks. "The ghost said.
"So that's what you mean. His wives have all fulfilled the requirements, and that's why he can go back and forth between the common world and Sky class island. "Lin Yi nodded." Isn't that a good suggestion? We just need to wait for a few years, and we won't have to take any risks. Senior, could it be that you can't even wait for a few years? "
Although the lifespan of a high-level cultivator, especially a top-notch spiritual beast like the ghost, was not endless, it was still extremely long. A few years was just a blink of an eye, and it could be gone by casually in closed-door cultivation. Why would it take such a huge risk to fight for a few years and end up like this? No matter how one looked at it, it was not worth it.
"Of course not!" The ghostly being's voice was scorching, then it smiled bitterly. "If it wasn't for the fact that the Spirit Beast Clan's situation was already in dire straits, based on my personality, why would I lower my pride and ask a human for help? Even when I was facing the Spirit Beast King, I've never been so submissive. If I had waited a few more years, I wouldn't have had any problems, but the Spirit Beast Clan has already fallen apart. You've seen how ambitious the Vermilion Bird is, so how could I possibly wait?"
"That's true, but haste makes waste. From what I see, if you hadn't been so impulsive back then and listened to Zhang Liju and waited a few more years, things wouldn't have gotten out of hand like this. At least, with you in the spirit beast clan, even if Vermilion Bird got a puppet to become the new spirit beast king, it wouldn't be able to do whatever it wants like this." Lin Yi analyzed.
Before the situation was clear, it was better to stay put than to take action. This was his experience over the years. However, everyone had a different personality, so naturally, their style of doing things was also different. If the ghost did as he said, then it wouldn't be a ghost.
"That's true. It's too bad that I didn't meet you back then, kid, or I wouldn't be where I am today. To be honest, you may not be strong, but there are many things that I can learn from you." The ghost sighed.
This wasn't just being courteous, it was the truth. Lin Yi was able to grow at such a shocking speed in just a few years, and it wasn't just because of his talent and luck, but also because of his style of doing things. If it were anyone else, even if they had the same talent and luck, they would've been killed a long time ago.
