"I …"
Lin Ray wanted to refute Granny Qiong, but as soon as the word left his mouth, Granny Qiong stopped him. Granny Qiong spoke again, "Don't refuse yet. This is a deal. Although it's a little dangerous for you, the interest is also very high. Why don't you listen first? "
"Uh … If I don't listen, won't you tell me that you're about to cooperate with me?"
As he gazed at her, Linley momentarily felt regret, and he even felt like slapping himself. However, it was impossible for him to refuse at this moment. After all, there was a terrifying formation outside, and Granny Qiong was a Dao Fruit Saint. Linley knew that he wasn't a match for her right now.
"Hehe, boy, you're smart. You're right. You have to listen even if you don't want to. Besides, do you think you can leave this place? In any case, I don't believe it. Although there are some things on you that I can't describe, I'm sure that you're the person I've been waiting for for millions of years! "
"Millions …"
At this moment, Linley was completely stunned by the number when he heard the old woman say the words' ten million years'. But at the same time, he was filled with doubt when the old woman said that he was the person she had been waiting for for ten million years. He didn't understand what was going on.
"Granny Qiong, although I don't know why you say that I'm the person you've been waiting for for millions of years, you can't do this. How can a nobody like me help you? Besides, I'm just here for a meal. I have no other intentions."
He didn't want to accept Granny Qiong's deal, so he didn't wait for her to speak. Lin Ray spoke again, "Besides, with your strength, there's nothing you can't do. Even if you can't do it, what do you think I can do if you can't do it?"
"Hahaha …"
But as soon as Linley finished speaking, Granny Qiong suddenly began to laugh loudly, her eyes filled with amusement and amusement.
"Hmm?"
At that moment, Lin Ray frowned. He couldn't guess what Granny Qiong wanted to do. As for the deal, Lin Ray really wasn't interested.
"As expected, you did. I've never told you my name before. I didn't expect you to know it. Besides, my name hasn't appeared in the Divine World for a very long time. Even those old bastards in the Divine World wouldn't know my name. Now that you know my name, you must be the one I've been waiting for. So, little guy, don't try to shirk away and listen to me first."
"Slap!" A crisp sound rang out. When Linley heard the old woman's words, he didn't say anything and directly slapped her face. His face was filled with speechlessness.
"F * ck, that mouth's's mouth's mouth's's mouth's's's's mouth. What should I do?!"
She thought to herself, but her divine sense never left Granny Qiong. Looking at Granny Qiong's current appearance, Lin Ray knew that he couldn't avoid the deal today.
With that thought, Lin Ray made up his mind. Since he wanted to say it, he would say it. However, saying it was one thing, doing it or not was another.
Lin Ray's expression relaxed. "Since you've said so, that boy won't be able to refute. Go ahead. Just listen to me. "
"Hehe, it's good to always be like this. You made me waste so much time talking!"
Seeing Lin Ray agree, Granny Qiong smiled. She was an existence that had lived for tens of millions of years, so when she smiled, her face wrinkled.
Looking at her. Linley quietly took a sip of wine, ate his food, and waited to hear what was about to be said about the trade.
"Little fellow, you already know my name. This old woman's name is Granny Qiong, but I don't remember my exact age. However, I think you've already seen my strength. I'm a Dao Fruit Saint."
Hearing Granny Qiong's words, Linley stopped eating. Raising his head, he said questioningly, "Yes, I know. However, what puzzles me is that at your level of cultivation, you should have ascended long ago. Why are you still in the Deity Realm? In addition, given your level of power, won't you be restricted or prohibited from entering the Deity Realm?"
"Alas! "You're not wrong, but you're also wrong. Even though my current level of cultivation is a realm that everyone yearns to reach, I'd rather not have it. It's precisely because of this level of cultivation that I've been trapped for so many years."
"Oh?"
As he listened, Lin Ray became more and more puzzled. Why had she been trapped for so long after obtaining her cultivation? However, Lin Ray didn't ask because even if he didn't ask, Granny Qiong would tell him.
Sure enough, at this moment, Granny Qiong spoke again, "I think you're also puzzled. It's like this!"
With that, Granny Qiong pondered for a moment and entered her memories. However, she still spoke of her memories and experiences.
"Back then, this old woman was a cultivator at the peak of the Dao. Perhaps it was because I paid too much attention to cultivation that I yearned for the power of the Dao."
"Back then, this old woman naturally cultivated to the Divine Ancestor realm. However, when I first started cultivating, it was discovered that my foundation wasn't good and my Spirit Root wasn't very good. As for my talent, it was extremely low. However, this old woman refused to accept it. Others put in double the effort, but this old woman put in ten or even twenty times the effort. This old woman didn't feel like crying at all!"
Hearing Granny Qiong's words, a trace of sympathy appeared on Lin Ray's face. Although he wasn't like this, he could understand the hardships involved. At this moment, there was no distress, melancholy, or pain on Granny Qiong's face. Instead, there was a trace of a relaxed smile.
"That's right. Because I yearned for power too much, because as long as I had power, I would have the right to speak. Because I yearned for power too much, I went astray and my inner demons were rampant."
At this point, Granny Qiong paused for a moment before continuing, "That's how it is. After reaching the Divine Ancestor Realm, my cultivation has been stagnant. The other sects, and even my own sect's senior and junior brothers, endlessly laughed at me. So, I hate them and all of them look at me with contempt."
"Tsk, because of this, I was taken advantage of by an existence from nothingness."
As soon as she said this, the smile on the old woman's face revealed a trace of pain. Cold sweat flowed freely from her forehead. In this regard, Lin Ray, who had been paying attention to Granny Qiong, also tensed up.
At this moment, after hearing Granny Qiong's story, she put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and listened carefully, just like Lin Ray.
"You might not believe it even if I tell you, but the Rune outside Yun Laike was left behind by the powerful warrior who came from the void back then. Millions of years have passed since then, but it still exists today. Furthermore, its power has not decreased in the slightest. Even though many of the runes on it have been wiped away, the power of those runes still fused into the Rune after the passage of time."
"Hiss …"
After hearing Granny Qiong's words, Lin Ray and Hong Lian gasped at the same time. Astonishment and astonishment appeared on their faces.
Tens of millions of years. What kind of concept was that? Perhaps even he didn't dare to imagine it. Besides. In his understanding of arrays, it was impossible for an array to exist for tens of millions of years. This was because he knew that an array could exist for at most a million years. Moreover, during these millions of years, there would be constant maintenance by array masters. But most importantly, there must be enough energy to support the array within a hundred years. Otherwise, it would be impossible for an array to survive for such a long time.
Besides, when he came here earlier, he didn't see or sense any energy transmission from underground or in the air. In addition, Granny Qiong said that the runes had been erased due to the baptism of time, but their original effects hadn't been lost. Just based on this point alone, he didn't believe it. Therefore, when Granny Qiong said that the array had existed for tens of millions of years, he didn't believe it at all.
"Haha, don't be so surprised. I know you won't believe it because this matter is impossible even in the entire world. But it has been verified here, and verified so well."
At this moment, Granny Qiong had returned to her senses. However, when she saw the disbelief and shock on Lin Ray's face, she said with a smile.
"When I saw the expert from the Nothingness, I was also stunned. When I heard his description of the array, I was just like you. But there was no other way. At that time, that person was on the stage and I was too eager for quick success and wanted to show off and prove myself. Therefore, that expert from the Nothingness made a suggestion to me, a deal that I didn't even think about."
"What kind of deal?"
After hearing her words, Lin Ray's interest was piqued, especially when he heard that it was just a suggestion. Lin Ray couldn't help but ask.
"The deal is very simple. Let me become the master of this formation, and at the same time, I will become the master of this cloud. As a result of this deal, I will get what I want, such as my two Spiritual Roots, my talent, and various other aspects."
"Hmph, so that's how it is!"
Hearing Granny Qiong's words, Lin Ray felt a strange feeling in his heart. However, this feeling only lasted for a moment. Then, he came back to his senses and looked at her, waiting for what would happen next.
At that moment, his originally calm face became sinister. His eyes were filled with fear and bewilderment.
"As the saying goes, there are benefits and disadvantages. Although I got what I wanted very much at that time, I lost what I ultimately wanted, freedom."
