Chapter 167 Heaven Melting Pagoda (1/2)
”Oh? Any last words?” The man in fire robe paused for a moment upon hearing Ricky's words. ”Spit it out. Maybe I'll do it for you when I go out.”
”No last words. I just wanted to check. You don't want to be revived in a new guise, do you?” Ricky probed.
”Why?” Asked the man, with his arms crossed, obviously interested in what Ricky was saying.
”Some elders told me that the Earth Fire Place has been here for a long time. In recent centuries, it would appear every thirty years, and yet many talented warriors still queued up to get in,” said Ricky.
”If you actually did want to get out of here, then you would have done it earlier before. That being said, you actually have no other choice but to leave this place because you know that the Earth Fire Place is going to be destroyed!”
”Ha-ha, you are a smart one, I have to say!” the man said, bursting into laughter as he heard Ricky's explanation.
”You are right. Reviving in a new guise wasn't my purpose in the first place. I truly just wanted to stay alive. I've seen too many warriors struggling to live in the river of time.
As a soul of weapon, our strength fades when we're damaged. But I like being a soul of weapon because we could stay alive forever even if we don't cultivate ourselves. It's been boring though, I have to say. But as your saying goes, better a living dog than a dead lion.”
”If you don't mean to revive in a new guise, why won't you just let me go? You are the soul of the pagoda. You must know a way to transform it, to make it smaller. Do it, so we could leave together. Isn't that a much better solution?” Ricky suggested, his tone full of hope.
”You wish!” said the man.
”There are two reasons why I will never agree to your proposition. For one, human warriors are far too dishonest. I will never believe a thing you say. You said we will be leaving together, but I know you're planning to subdue me with the help of your seniors once we get out of here
”That's not my plan. I swear!” Ricky said, clearly agitated.
