The miserable spirit in the pearl clam (asking for monthly votes)_2 Peering out from the Soul House, Mini Array Spirit appeared confused.

He faintly sensed a particular vibration from the Soul Clam Pearl, a feeling of déjà vu.

Chen Dengming reached for the pearl and immediately felt an intense heart-pounding sensation, a familiar feeling flooding his clear Spiritual Wisdom.

It was like visiting a strange land for the first time, yet finding everything incredibly familiar, as if he had been there before.

Suddenly, an image of a sky filled with peach blossoms appeared in his mind.

...

Among the peach blossoms, stood a figure alone, dancing amidst petals falling like rain, her smile as blooming as the flowers, she looked back at him asking.

“Elder Brother Chen, can we come to see the peach blossoms at Luo Mountain every year if…you have the time…?”

“Xu Wei…”

Chen Dengming’s mind immediately conjured the image of her eyes, bright as black gemstones, looking at him quietly, just as understanding and gentle as before.

However, unfortunately, that woman’s fate was as harsh as the grass in the mortal world.

Even though she was resilient, she couldn’t withstand the cleansing of the seasons over the years, just like the morning dew’s life, disappearing with the wind.

The moon was bright then, lighting up the way for the colorful clouds returning home.

Why did he suddenly think of Xu Wei now?

At this thought, Chen Dengming felt a sharp pain in his heart and stared in disbelief at the Soul Clam Pearl in his hand, emitting a faint Spiritual Light.

“This pearl…”

He suddenly remembered, Chu Xun had once said that Xu Wei’s True Spirit’s lifespan in the Netherworld had ended, and even if it entered the Underworld River, it would likely be scattered to the winds.

However, if she was lucky, her True Spirit might combine with some bizarre things in the Underworld River, possibly nurturing an essence and reincarnating as some kind of nether being, such as the Underworld River’s ‘Other Shore Flower’.

With this thought, Chen Dengming shuddered and looked at the Soul Clam Pearl in his hand.

Mini Array Spirit also thought of this point at the same time, a look of surprise and doubt crossing his face.

“Xu Wei, is it you?”

Chen Dengming stared at the Soul Clam Pearl in his hand, his thoughts racing.

Recalling the time he bid farewell to Xu Wei as her spirit was about to disperse, sending her True Spirit into the Nether Spring, it had been over three decades.

And Chu Xun had said, over eight years ago, he had found a trace of one soul part of Mini Array Spirit, but the more he searched, the more he realized that soul part might have perished.

When he finally found it, he only discovered a cave left behind by the soul part of Array Spirit before it dissipated.

Then he learned that it was destroyed by Dark Stream Old Ghost while fighting over a suddenly emerging Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam.

By calculation, the time the Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam suddenly appeared closely matched the time he sent Xu Wei’s True Spirit into the Nether Spring.

Perhaps it was then, Xu Wei’s True Spirit merged with a nether clam in the Underworld River, gradually nurturing each other until the nether clam transformed into a Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam, and a part of Xu Wei’s True Spirit turned into the Soul Clam Pearl.

“Fellow…fellow daoist…”

Mini Array Spirit looked at Chen Dengming, tentatively saying, “Is this Soul Clam Pearl…could it be?”

Chen Dengming’s expression was serious, he took a deep breath and regained his composure, “We can’t be certain yet, but it feels very special to me.

Ling’er, for now, you might not be able to refine this Soul Clam Pearl to repair that soul part.

I want to understand the connections…”

“Hmm…” Mini Array Spirit nodded obediently.

But at that moment, the Soul Clam Pearl in Chen Dengming’s hand suddenly trembled lightly, brimming with vitality and emitting strands of Spiritual Energy, all drifting towards Mini Array Spirit and enveloping him like smoke and mist.

Such an unusual scene momentarily stunned both Chen Dengming and Mini Array Spirit.

“Soul Pearl choosing its owner of its own accord?”

Ghost Lady Shi Ziyan exclaimed.

Chen Dengming frowned, “What do you mean?”

Shi Ziyan bowed slightly, “To answer the True Monarch, the Soul Clam Pearl is nurtured from the Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam.

Once the pearl is cultivated, all the essence of the Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam gathers in the Soul Clam Pearl, therefore the Soul Clam Pearl is extremely perceptive, can understand ghost nature, understand human thoughts, and thus may choose its own owner.

Usually, after the Soul Pearl chooses an owner, it will highly resonate with the owner’s spirit.

If the owner’s seven souls are intact, the Pearl will gradually strengthen their souls.

If the seven souls are incomplete, the Pearl will automatically repair the damaged and missing parts…”

“Understanding ghost nature, understanding human thoughts…” Chen Dengming stared at the Soul Clam Pearl in his hand, silent for a moment.

If this Soul Clam Pearl really is the result of Xu Wei’s True Spirit combining and nurturing,

given Xu Wei’s kind nature, she indeed might choose to sacrifice herself to help others, to repair Mini Array Spirit’s soul.

Reflecting further, when Xu Wei’s True Spirit merged with the Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam, why was it first discovered by Mini Array Spirit’s soul part?

Perhaps it was because when Xu Wei’s True Spirit met Mini Array Spirit’s soul part, they naturally established a connection due to their previous acquaintance in the Mortal World.

Now, this Soul Clam Pearl even wishes to help Mini Array Spirit restore the soul part.

But this is too sorrowful.

Xu Wei’s life has been too harsh.

Is there any justice in heaven, how could they treat Xu Wei with such indifference.

At that moment, Mini Array Spirit performed a gesture, dispersing the overflowing Spiritual Energy from the Soul Pearl, hesitatingly saying, “Fellow…fellow daoist, let’s go and find other Ghost Cultivator sacred objects?

We still have the Underworld River Soul Lamp Grass…

and the Other Shore Flower; we have many more options.”

Hum—

Thin strands of Spiritual Energy surged back into the Soul Clam Pearl, causing it to tremble violently again as if resisting.

Ghost Lady Shi Ziyan with a solemn expression said, “Once a Soul Clam Pearl type of Spirit-Linking nether object chooses its owner, it generally won’t change its mind easily.”

“Xu Wei!” Chen Dengming frowned and shouted.

Strangely enough, after that shout, the Soul Clam Pearl in his hand gradually calmed down, as if recognizing him as its owner too.
