And This One Is the Exact Opposite of That Celestial Spirit

[...]

A giant scar of burning earth runs for over 2,000 meters cools off to the left side of the Celestial Spirit.

This burning scar had been caused by none other than the rank ten ghost that stands before the Celestial Spirit.

As the aura of malicious intent from the ghost dies down the Celestial Spirit forces his body to move as he takes one step forward.

Dense mist of magic energy exudes from the wounded body of the Celestial Spirit as he continues to keep an eye on the enemy before him.

[Who is it?]

Despite being inexperienced with the crafty elements of combat the Celestial Spirit can never the less tell that someone had been controlling this ghost seeing as how that slash had barely missed him by an inch.

[You called every single participant a weakling before but have you come to realize that you are the same?]

Ye Gui Feng's voice speaks through the ghost's moving mouth.

[The old man who taught me cultivation had said that as a member of my species I am not allowed to show any hint of weakness. To my clansmen and I humans are nothing more than ants that can easily be crushed.]

[...]

"The old man who taught me cultivation," this confirms Ye Gui Feng's second thought.

This child had been raised by a Celestial Spirit and had received the legacy of one without knowing much of the details.

As for why that Celestial Spirit had given their legacy to this child that remains unknown but Ye Gui Feng guesses that it is most likely because that Celestial Spirit's days are numbered.

If that is the case it's no wonder that this Celestial Spirit doesn't have that much combat experience; because they really are just a child that didn't experience too much of the cultivation world's bloodshed.

[Not allowed to show any hint of weakness? In that case why is it that you're frozen in place right now?]

[...]

A pressure chains the Celestial Spirit in place preventing him from moving. Even just taking another step forward proves to be a trial.

This pressure doesn't come completely from the ghost that stands before the Celestial Spirit. Instead this pressure comes from the Celestial Spirit himself.

[What prevents you from moving is fear.]

The emotion of fear to this Celestial Spirit is quite foreign as this is his first time experiencing it.

[To show fear can be considered a show of weakness.]

[...]

[You say that humans are weak.]

In the face of Celestial Spirits humans can be considered weak and nothing more than ants that can be trampled upon with ease. However humans are the origins of many practitioners.

[But your species' progenitor had been a former human as well. You yourself had also been human. Even now you can still be considered just an ordinary human child with a bit more strength than your fellow peers.]

[...]

Ye Gui Feng is quite certain that even Mi Tian Huan, as powerful as he must have been in the primordial era must have had a human origin as well. Otherwise why is it that Celestial Spirits all possessed the appearance of humans?
