Chapter 1884: Chapter 1904: Equal Contract_1

Lin Chen was stunned, "A pact?"

Qi smiled, "Hasn’t everyone who entered the Ghost Tower sought its approval, wishing to eventually win it completely?"

"When we first met, didn’t I ask you about your choice of pact? Your answer is still fresh in my mind."

Lin Chen gave a chuckle, "Youthful arrogance, youthful arrogance..."

Thinking back to when they met, Lin Chen was quite young. Only accepting a pact where he was superior, while considering the gap in their powers, truly showed his naivety.

After a pause, Lin Chen was curious, "Sister Qi, why bring up this pact all of a sudden?"

Qi replied, "You have now reached the strength of a Golden Immortal, just enough to tap into the power of the tower. With a pact, you will face stronger enemies; you can then include me as one of your life-bound magical treasures in your Sea of Knowledge. In your Sea of Knowledge, I can speed up your cultivation."

"In addition, there’s another point. Even if a magical treasure has an Artifact Spirit, there’s a difference between one with and without a Master. As you become stronger, we can join forces to unleash even greater power."

The enemies you will face in the future will only get stronger; they could be Fairies, magical treasures that embody the Heavenly Dao Rules such as the Leaf of the World, or even powerhouses above Daluo. Having a pact will unify us in the face of the enemy, which is hugely beneficial. Otherwise, we are just two individuals and may not be able to cover for each other."

Lin Chen pondered, "Can we sign a Friendship Contract?"

Qi joked lightly, "Don’t you want a Master-Servant Contract? If we sign the Master-Servant Contract, I will have to obey you and can’t defy your orders. You will be able to command me to do anything, even what I am reluctant to do..."

Lin Chen laughed, "If you are unwilling to do something, why would I command you to do it? We guard against the enemy together, share life and death, aren’t we friends? Without you, I would have died several times. The Master-Servant Contract is not suitable ..."

Qi chuckled, "Then we shall sign an Equal Contract. However, I must remind you, once the pact is signed, it can’t be changed. Don’t regret it later."

Lin Chen laughed, "I won’t regret it. If one day I changed and no longer live up to your expectations, feel free to leave, you don’t have to bother with me anymore to avoid trouble."

Qi nodded, "Then you must stay true to yourself. The path to immortality is long. I have seen too many people lose themselves in the end."

"I will try my best!"

Seeing Lin Chen had no more objections, Qi stretched out her hand and said, "Give me your hand."

Lin Chen stretched out his hand, and Qi lightly drew her finger across his palm, immediately causing a cut from which blood flowed.

Lin Chen remained motionless, watching with anticipation.

He had never formed a pact with an Artifact Spirit before, so he was curious to see how it was done.

Qi raised her fair-skinned hand that was as white as snow and gently made a cut similar to Lin Chen’s, causing blood to flow out.

She placed her bleeding hand on Lin Chen’s, their palms and wounds touching. Their blood mixed together, rising into the air, forming a blood symbol.

"Repeat after me!"

Qi gave Lin Chen a smile, and began to recite, "As the Spirit of the Heavenly Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Tower, Qi, I swear here..."

Lin Chen followed Qi reciting the oath, changing the identification to himself, while marveling within.

The name of the Ghost Tower was given by Cultivators in the Barren Wilderness. Today, he finally learned its real name.

Heavenly Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Tower!

It sounded pretty impressive!

But he wondered why such an impressive tower chose to hide in the Barren Wilderness, never leaving for ten thousand years.

With the recitation of the oath, the blood symbol suddenly released a powerful Blood Light, then quickly contracted. Finally, the symbol condensed into two drops of blood which entered the brow of the two.

In an instant, Lin Chen felt two synchronized connections in his mind. Regardless of where the other was, he could sense them. They could communicate with each other directly via a spiritual connection.

Withdrawing her hand, Qi smiled, "Alright, the contract is formed. This way we can’t lose each other. As long as we’re alive, we can sense each other’s locations. And with me as a bridge, you can directly control the tower’s offense and defense."

Lin Chen curiously asked, "Just how powerful is this tower and what special abilities does it possess?"

Qi replied, "This tower is called the Heavenly Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Tower, an Innate Spiritual Treasure. Although its offensive abilities are rather average, its defensive power is extremely strong. If you encounter an enemy you can’t beat, just retreat into the tower and make the tower flee. There aren’t many who can block the escape path of this tower, at least not in the Thunder Immortal Domain."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, "A defensive-type Innate Spiritual Treasure? That’s good, even if I can’t beat them, as long as I can defend and run, that’s enough. I got out of this by running all the way. Isn’t there a saying that the key is to stay alive?"

Qi chuckled, "Yes, staying alive is the best. The ultimate goal in cultivation is to see who can live the longest..."
