Zhong A Niu laughed heartily upon hearing this: "As long as my heart is free of the Ghost Realm, and I walk upright, what great calamity would I fear?"
The Ascendant Fuluan asked curiously, "Even if you seek a path from the jaws of death, and are destined for a disaster, you wouldn't be afraid?"
The Demon Exorcism True Monarch grinned and said, "Afraid of what? Life is but a season, like plants and trees. A tree aiming to be a pillar must grow straight. I would rather take it straight than win it by bending. Otherwise, even if I lived for a thousand years, I'd just be a turtle, empty like those without eggs. I disdain that!"
The Ascendant Fuluan's face turned dark and he retorted, "Nonsense! Haven't you heard that water is the softest in the world, yet nothing can conquer the strong? Being too rigid leads to breakage, only by bending can you endure long!"
