The bead, even though half-buried in the mud, glimmered, bright enough for Austin to notice. It was shiny and exquisite. But it also looked mysterious and gave off a strange feel in the air.
Austin became curious and sensed it with his spiritual sense.
Whoosh!
His spiritual sense hovered over the bead and suddenly entered an extraordinary space inside.
This surprised Austin. He looked around and observed using his spiritual sense.
It was a peculiar space filled with translucent mist.
At a far corner, stood a faint figure. It was motionless and seemed to be looking back at him.
The figure remained hazy, but Austin believed that he was about thirty. He wore an ancient dark yellow robe that made him look noble and his hands rested on his back. Austin detected a trace of sadness on his face.
"Gee?"
As Austin's spiritual sense settled on the space, the man in the dark yellow robe instantly perceived his spiritual sense.
"Alas, what a miracle! Someone is finally here," exclaimed the man in the bead.
He seemed to have come alive after he detected Austin's spiritual sense.
Austin heard him and was surprised himself.
He could see that the man inside the bead was a soul, and it was about to disappear.
The figure was hardly visible and was almost transparent. Austin was afraid that he would lose his connection with the figure anytime.
"Looks like this guy is running out of his spiritual soul energy,"
uttered the Flame Emperor in Austin's Soul Sea.
The Flame Emperor was by now also a soul. His spiritual soul energy had been depleted, but he had not reached that crucial point where he would disappear.
The spiritual soul of this man was hanging by a thread and could dissipate anytime inside the milky bead.
"I am a disciple of a small sect, and I came to the Wild Herb Valley to collect herbs and have a trial. Sir, who are you, please?" Austin asked.
He figured that the man had been here for a long time. In terms of age, this man should be an elder.
"The Wild Herb Valley?
Collecting herbs and having a trial?
What's going on here?
This is the territory of our Cyan Pill Valley. How did you get in here and gather herbs and have a trial?
My soul has been in this bead for so long. I do not understand what's going on outside anymore.
Have the Cyan Pill Valley fallen?
Now, boy, describe to me what has happened to the world.
Explain to me how you could get in and collect herbs from the Cyan Pill Valley," the man pleaded.
'This man must have died a long time ago, and left his soul hidden in the bead.
Now his energy is running out, ' Austin said to himself.
"Sir, I will ask my friend to tell you about the outside world.
He is a soul, just like you, and it would be best if you hear it from him," Austin told the man.
Since he was from the Prime Martial World, Austin did not know about the East Mainland of the Divine Continent as much as the Flame Emperor.
Austin asked the Flame Emperor to connect with the man through his spiritual sense and to tell him what had been happening in the outside world.
Obediently, the Flame Emperor started to communicate with the man and told him stories after stories of what had happened while his soul was inside the bead.
It took the Flame Emperor two hours to finish telling the stories.
The man listened carefully and was quiet for a long time.
Then he exhaled and shrugged his shoulders.
"I have been in this bead for tens of thousands of years, and true enough the outside world has changed beyond my imagination.
They have wiped out my precious Cyan Pill Valley from history. We used to be powerful, and it was unimaginable that this could happen.
Now it has become a forbidden valley, and at regular intervals there are disciples from different sects to collect herbs.
The world is so uncertain. Everything is touch and go!"
The man continued to grieve for Cyan Pill Valley and its people.
