Thus, the springs passed and autumns came, and the seasons turned round and round, always in vain.

The first year quickly went by.

That year, the peach blossoms were not particularly resplendent, yet they fell like rain in a riot of color.

Some petals scattered in front of the grave, painting a picture of desolate beauty, making the Soul Clam Pearl even more vibrant with spiritual resonance, its spiritual light deep and clear, just like a beautiful woman on the verge of tears bidding farewell.

...

Chen Dengming’s heart was touched and filled with sorrow, yet his state of mind slowly broadened, and the weeds within his heart were also gradually removed by the blossoming flowers.

The second year, the peach blossoms were even more brilliant, covering the whole mountain with their scent wafting through the air, and the peaches matured into heavy, luscious fruit, sagging to the ground when ripe.

The Soul Clam Pearl’s radiance was misty, like the smiling face of a beautiful woman, rich in spirit; threads of spiritual energy lingered around Chen Dengming as if to comfort him.

Chen Dengming gazed at the peach blossoms that filled the mountains, his state of mind brightened, and he completely let go for his own sake.

The third year, the peach trees shed their leaves and sprouted new branches.

After the peach blossoms bloomed, the mountain forest no longer held any hint of desolation, nor did any weeds emerge.

That year, He Yingyu from the Longevity Sect, who had been waiting for several years, came over.

She cooked and cleaned for Chen Dengming, and swept the grave in front of Xu Wei’s resting place.

Just as the old and new had been passed on by this pair of sisters once before.

It was also this year that in front of Xu Wei’s grave, the Soul Clam Pearl gave birth to a shadow resembling a human figure, within which the True Spirit nurtured the spiritual essence to its peak.

The human-shaped True Spirit danced around the Mini Array Spirit, their affection deep and steadfast; the Mini Array Spirit, sensing its true feelings, wept tears.

By the time Chen Dengming rushed over upon hearing the news,

this True Spirit threw itself into his arms, although it caught only air, it still stirred his mind, connecting his spirit, revealing a somewhat fuzzy message of thought.

“Elder Brother Chen…

let me merge with Ling’er, and I can fulfill my long-cherished wish to stay by your side for a lifetime…”

After this moment of spiritual communion,

the light of the Soul Clam Pearl dimmed, as if the pearl were covered in dust, as if the True Spirit that had been nurtured and accumulated over the past three years had exhausted its energy after expressing this piece of its heart.

Three years of peach blossoms blooming and falling, this time Chen Dengming truly felt Xu Wei’s presence.

Before, no matter how real his sensations were, he could only say that the spiritual essence within the Soul Clam Pearl ‘seemed’ to be the transformation of Xu Wei’s True Spirit.

Now, however, he could be certain.

Over these three years, he had fulfilled his promise to bring Xu Wei to Luo Family Mountain to see the peach blossoms bloom, all for the sake of hearing this simple, yet profound heart’s cry.

Even though Chen Dengming had long been aware of Xu Wei’s feelings and had long since let go and accepted them, at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel an infinite pity and emotion.

Xu Wei was too kind-hearted.

Even being as insignificant as a blade of grass in the mortal world, she still yearned for the sun, willing to share her light and warmth with others.

Luo Bing was like that back then.

And now, as the Mini Array Spirit, she remains the same.

Her only wish was to accompany him forever, to wander the ends of the earth with him.

Would you call her foolish?

Perhaps she was foolish, but it was exactly this kind of foolishness that made Chen Dengming unable to let go.

Xu Wei, with her low aptitude, struggled in the Cultivation World and could not achieve The Great Dao; that was something unattainable.

Chen Dengming, late in blossoming, made a name for himself in the Cultivation World and was expected to achieve The Great Dao, he could help many friends and even strangers, but he just couldn’t help Xu Wei; that was also something unattainable.

But that made it even harder to let go.

Now, with the True Spirit of the Soul Clam Pearl transforming, Chen Dengming chose to accept Xu Wei’s decision.

They both headed towards release, mutually fulfilling each other, letting go together amidst the unattainable.

…

On this day, as dusk approached, inside a small thatched cottage on the hillside,

Chen Dengming placed the Soul Clam Pearl into the Soul House.

After today, Xu Wei’s True Spirit will become one of the seven souls of the Mini Array Spirit, thus merging with it forever.

This also happened to be the companionship Xu Wei had so desperately sought, yet it appeared so cruel and full of hardship.

Chen Dengming looked at the misty Spiritual Light within the Soul House, and the Mini Array Spirit also shed tears over Xu Wei’s sacrifice.

He didn’t know whether to be happy for the Mini Array Spirit regaining a soul, or to be happy for Xu Wei’s wish being fulfilled, or to feel lost.

What he could do at this moment,

was simply to follow Xu Wei’s wishes and protect the companionship.

At least compared to complete annihilation of body and spirit, this might be the best ending this unfortunate woman could get.

In the next life, let it not be so hard, if the Underground Mansion still has reincarnation, if there’s still a next life…

In another thatched cottage, smoke was rising from the chimney.

He Yingyu had her hair coiled up, cooking fish in the back kitchen; she seemed to sense the situation in the other cottage, her beautiful eyes turned sad, and the fish soup she made didn’t taste as sweet as before, but rather bitter.

Bitter fish soup, reminiscent of those hard days under the shanty area’s broken roof when she had to boil fish for a meager living.

She, who was once the wife of the Longevity Sect Leader, an Elder of the Golden Core of Longevity, was personally doing the simple task of cooking.

Just as Chen Dengming, esteemed as the Longevity Sect Leader, was like an old farmer weeding and fertilizing in the woods.

This too was a form of rushing forward and supporting each other.

In the cold and cruel world of cultivation, full of deceit, to have a bit of warmth for companionship might already be the most endearing moments of a cultivation life.

But such warmth is hard-won…
