In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path-Chapter 1021
Chapter 1021: 409: The fate of cause and effect is deep and vast in the universe!
The miserable spirit in the pearl clam (asking for monthly votes) Chapter 1021: 409: The fate of cause and effect is deep and vast in the universe!
The miserable spirit in the pearl clam (asking for monthly votes) Two days later, outside the Nether Cave, the Mini Array Spirit was even more anxious than Chen Dengming, darting in and out of the Soul House, waiting eagerly and excitedly for the imminent delivery of the Soul Clam Pearl, and occasionally stammering to herself.
“Fellow Daoist, do you think that cunning and tricky old ghost won’t play any more tricks?”
“Should we go back and check again?
I, I’ll act as your protector…
”
Chen Dengming sat at the table, sipping on the boiling osmanthus tea from the red furnace, and shook his head dismissively.
“No need to worry.
...
That old ghost is both greedy and timid; he has already shown his greed just now, now is the time when he is too scared to try any more tricks.
Come, come over and pour me another cup of tea…”
“Yes, yes—”
The Mini Array Spirit immediately responded, floating over without a hint of makeup on her face, which was very endearing.
Her long, shiny black hair was tied up with a simple wooden pin atop her head.
If one could look past her flimsy, gossamer-like clothing, it would surely give one a feeling of pure and refreshing beauty.
With a dainty touch, the teapot floated up by itself and filled Chen Dengming’s cup with steaming-hot osmanthus tea.
Chen Dengming, inhaling the scent of osmanthus that filled the cabin, said contentedly, “Having tried all sorts of teas, I’ve found that this common autumn osmanthus tea in the mortal world suits my taste the most; its fragrance is like returning home…
”
He couldn’t help but think of Nanxun; it had been a long time since he last visited.
After finishing this mission, he could make a visit.
Nanxun had once suffered a terrible invasion by Outer Realm Evil Cultivators, who captured many to blood sacrifice, trying to force Eastern Huayuan out and find the Human Immortal Dao System’s Human God Palace hidden within Nanxun.
In the end, Chen Dengming learned that after the Outer Domain Devil Lord launched a counterattack, Nanxun was taken back by Eastern Huayuan and placed under even tighter protective fields.
And it was when Eastern Huayuan left Nanxun that he was attacked by that mysterious Ghost Path powerhouse.
Now, with no wars for nearly seventy or eighty years, Chen Dengming felt a desire to open up Nanxun and transfer some of its residents to the Cultivation World.
In this way, maybe after a generation or two, the people of Nanxun might all possess Spiritual Roots, no longer cursed with the widespread lack of them.
This wish was not a sudden impulse, but a measure already implemented long ago at the Nanxun hometown base.
Now, he had even more strength to carry out this task.
Lost in these thoughts, he was about to take a sip of his osmanthus tea when he suddenly noticed the Mini Array Spirit leaning her luminous lips slightly forward, causing him to ask in surprise, “What are you doing?”
The Mini Array Spirit paused, one hand nervously clutching her sleeve, while the other rubbed her belly under her undergarment, “I heard you say that the tea tastes good, and I, I also want to try…”
Seeing her innocent and endearing manner, Chen Dengming wondered whether she would still maintain such a lovable appearance after fully restoring her memory, and he felt a sense of gain and loss.
“What is this state of mind?
It’s a good thing for Ling’er to restore all her memories and strength; it’s also what she has always wanted.”
He shook his head and smiled wryly, then brought the teacup to the Mini Array Spirit’s lips.
The Mini Array Spirit first briefly stuck out her tongue to taste it, then turned her cute face with two dimples toward him and sweetly glanced at him, whispering softly, “It’s really delicious!”
Chen Dengming rolled his eyes, “If you’re going to drink, drink properly; what’s the point of licking it like a puppy?”
“I am not a puppy.”
The Mini Array Spirit frowned and unceremoniously gulped down the tea.
With her current level of soul body condensation, she was no different from ordinary people and, as a regular Ghost Cultivator, she enjoyed eating and drinking.
The Mini Array Spirit savored the fragrance of the osmanthus filling her mouth.
Suddenly, an unusual surge of ghostly energy appeared in Chen Dengming’s spirit.
“Senior Chen!”
Outside, Yue Shang Neng had only called out once.
Chen Dengming’s figure had already appeared on the deck of the Spirit Boat.
He surveyed the surroundings and his gaze settled on two ghostly figures with ominous auras, who had just flown out from the Nether Cave.
It was the two Ghost Ladies, big sister and second sister of Chu Xun.
Two days before, the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch had reluctantly agreed to Chen Dengming’s terms, and Chen Dengming had entered the Hall of Human Heart again to make contact with Chu Xun.
He instructed her to send the second sister Ghost Lady and the Soul Clam Pearl to Starfall Ghost City, then hand the pearl over to big sister.

After receiving the Soul Clam Pearl, the two Ghost Ladies would leave the Ghost City via the Nether Spring and enter the Mortal World.
That mindset of the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch had long been understood by Chen Dengming.
He knew the old ghost wouldn’t dare to trick him anymore, nor would he dare to take more risks.
Compared to a Soul Clam Pearl for which he had no use at the moment,
a strong and immediate cooperative partner who could provide resources from the Mortal World was a more valuable calculation, one the other party wouldn’t miscalculate.
In light of his failed deceit and inability to gain more, the other party had no choice but to cooperate earnestly.
“Your concubine Shi Ziyan pays respects to True Monarch Chen!”
“Your concubine Leng Siqi pays respects to True Monarch Chen!”
The two Ghost Ladies approached Chen Dengming and bowed in salute.
Afterward, the second sister Leng Siqi respectfully presented a Storage Bag with both hands, filled with ten jars of River of Styx Water.
Big sister Shi Ziyan then opened her mouth, and a sparkling Soul Clam Pearl with a luminous halo flew out smoothly.
Chen Dengming suddenly felt a stirring in his soul, a sense of inexplicable connection with the Soul Clam Pearl, creating an indescribable resonance.
“This is indeed a heaven-sent treasure capable of repairing soul injuries, to think that it would affect my heart and spirit just by appearing…”
Chen Dengming was somewhat astonished.
