Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam!

The siege will begin_3 The good news was that in the message left inside the cave, Chu Xun also learned that in the treasure house of the Dark Stream Old Ghost’s lair, there was exactly a Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam.

One of the Mini Array Spirit’s souls had died in the process of contending for the Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam, killed by the Dark Stream Old Ghost.

Within the Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam, Soul Clam Pearls would be nurtured.

...

This pearl is a treasure considered just as precious as the Underworld River Soul Lamp Grass, capable of helping a ghost spirit re-condense a soul.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming sighed inwardly.

In this play of fate, it truly seemed as if everything was predestined.

The Mini Array Spirit had lost one of its souls in the battle for the Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam.

Years later, he sent the Ferocious Ghost Chu Xun to search for the soul without success, only to coincidentally discover the whereabouts of the Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam, intending to use it to restore the Mini Array Spirit’s soul.

It was indeed a cruel twist of fate.

But having a chance was still better than having none at all.

“Let’s hope the other soul is safe…

Otherwise, finding similar rare spiritual materials would be too difficult.

Such materials are rare, and that the Dark Stream Old Ghost obtained one is indeed an extraordinary event.”

After exchanging ideas with Chu Xun to the very end and hearing Old Zhu’s plan, Chen Dengming managed to put his mind at rest, for the moment.

Considering that Old Zhu often got hot-headed, brave yet too impetuous.

He urged the other party to act according to the situation, to prioritize self-preservation should anything go awry, and not to act recklessly.

According to Chu Xun’s account, a more domineering Ink River Ghost King had now set its sights on the Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam and was amassing a large army of Ghost Creatures to attack the Dark Stream Old Ghost.

Chu Xun planned to take advantage of the fierce battle between the two Ghost Kings to fish in troubled waters and snatch away the Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam.

With her current strength as a Transforming Ghost Infant, equating her to a half Nascent Soul powerhouse, there was indeed a sliver of opportunity.

…

After leaving the Hall of Human Heart, Chen Dengming faced the eagerly inquiring Mini Array Spirit, who was full of optimism.

After a moment of hesitation in his heart, he chose to temporarily conceal the situation and indicated that he had not yet made contact with the Ferocious Ghost Chu Xun and that they had to wait a bit longer.

The destruction of one soul was undeniably a heavy blow to the Mini Array Spirit.

Even upon hearing news of the Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam, it was inevitable that emotions would fluctuate, causing incessant worry.

If, in the end, Chu Xun could not obtain the Spirit-Linking Clairvoyance Clam, wouldn’t that be an even greater disappointment?

Chen Dengming planned to wait until Chu Xun successfully obtained it before telling the Mini Array Spirit, to spare it from disappointment.

“Zhu, Daoist friend Zhu, your breakthrough is what matters; it’s okay.

This servant has already waited so many years, and can wait a little longer, just…

just as long as they are all safe…”

“Daoist friend, you see, these dandelions have been blown away, but they’ve all been found by this servant…”

The Mini Array Spirit was very sensible, her smile blooming like flowers, her bright eyes filled with hope as she raised her pale hands, unfolding them to reveal the dandelions she had pieced together in her palm.

Pouting her lips as if pretending to blow on them, she laughed again, “As long as there’s will, those two souls, as well as Sister Xu Wei, will be found.

We will all be reunited.”

“As long as there’s will…” Chen Dengming nodded slightly and looked off into the distance with his hands behind his back.

He was regarded as a person of will, and he had fulfilled the wishes of some sincere people of will.

Unfortunately, sometimes having the will isn’t enough to receive what one desires most deeply.

At this moment, a streak of Spiritual Light flew across the sky, catching Chen Dengming’s eyes.

As if he had anticipated this, he had been waiting for a long time.

It was one of the Incarnations that had joined Mi Changzai in the pursuit plan, now returning with the body of Cheng Yunxue.

…

Three days later.

A Spirit Boat that appeared ordinary broke through the sea of clouds and sped across the sky.

It finally descended beside a riverbank covered with lush green moss in a valley.

This valley had long been awaited by a group of people.

At this moment, as they saw Chen Dengming’s signature white temples and robust figure descend from the Spirit Boat, the eyes of the group brimmed with warmth, respect, and excitement.

“He’s finally arrived, only the Fighting Longevity Monarch is missing now!”

“Good that he’s here, now we can set off.”

The group exchanged smiles as one tall and upright figure stepped out, greeting with an exaggerated and boisterous tone, clearly very familiar, “Haha, Old Chen…

Sect Leader!

Long time no see, I’ve missed you.

You still look the same, but you’ve become even stronger.”

It was none other than Qiao Zhaoxian, with his thick eyebrows and rugged face like his features were carved out of wood.

“Old Qiao, what are you implying?

Are you saying I’m old, that I’ve stayed the same this whole time?”

Chen Dengming’s eyes twinkled with mirth as he leaped down from the Spirit Boat.

The Spirit Boat swiftly shrank and turned into a streak of light, slipping into his wide sleeve.

“Dare not, dare not!

You are the Fighting Longevity Monarch, I wouldn’t dare offend you!”

Qiao Zhaoxian’s compliment was a backhanded one, characteristic of a bantering friendship, showcasing the unchanged relationship with Chen Dengming.

“Of course, you’re just a Nascent soul now, and if you offend me, this Nascent Soul executioner, I might just keep your soul from transforming.”

The two bantered, but as they drew closer, they both laughed heartily, slapping their palms together in midair echoing the gesture they had once used in battle, not the bowing exchange common between Cultivators upon meeting.

This scene led to diverse expressions among the group standing behind them.

The Mingguang Sect’s Holy Maiden Bai Zhi, standing silently beside Mingguang Sect Leader Yin Chenguang, had her beautiful eyes filled with envy and admiration.

She thought, with Chen Dengming’s current status and power, Qiao Zhaoxian could still greet him so casually like before.

And yet, Chen Dengming could still display an unconcerned demeanor.

This was a mark of a truly deep friendship, enviable to others.

Unlike her, who had lost the courage to tease and allure like before, even oftentimes trying to seduce him.

Now if she dared to seduce or tease, she might end up implicated, and not just Mingguang Sect, but everyone, might welcome such an outcome…
