The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2095: Zhenhai Pearl

The process of the remnant soul of the holy beast collecting the three beads was smooth and there was no setbacks or obstacles at all.

As the beads were successfully taken away, the three huge water columns that had originally gushed out from the ground seemed to have lost the source of power that supported their existence, and began to shrink rapidly in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the three water columns quickly retracted into the depths of the ground and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a wet mark on the ground.

After completion, the remaining soul of the holy beast flew back to where Matthew was as fast as lightning.

At this time, it has been able to return to its original complete form, but although the appearance is the same as before, its body still presents a strange translucent state, as if it may disappear into thin air at any time.

"Thank you, Lord Allah! If it weren't for your help, I would not have been able to obtain these three vital items so easily!"

The remaining soul of the holy beast, which had transformed into a white-haired, kind-faced old man, bowed respectfully to Ma Xiu and expressed his gratitude.

Facing the grateful gaze of the remnant soul of the holy beast, Matthew just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He looked very calm and composed, as if all this was just a trivial matter, and replied softly: "Haha, no need to thank me, this is just a fair and reasonable transaction. Thinking back to the past, when I was in the Sea Clan, I also had a similar transaction experience."

Although there is indeed a certain degree of intersection and past experiences between Matthew and the sea people, the relationship between them is far from being close, harmonious and peaceful.

For this reason, Matthew felt it necessary to appropriately clarify his position and attitude at this moment.

After all, if one is too polite and humble in this situation, it may cause the subsequent communication between the two parties to fall into a restrained and unsmooth atmosphere.

When seeing Matthew's attitude, the expression of the remnant soul of the holy beast could not help but freeze slightly, and the polite words that had been prepared were instantly swallowed back into his stomach.

After a brief silence, the remnant soul of the holy beast stretched out a finger and gently rotated it in front of its body.

As the remnant soul of the holy beast moved its fingers, a dazzling blue halo suddenly appeared in an instant.

This circle of light is as beautiful as a dream, emitting a mysterious blue light, illuminating the surroundings like a blue ocean.

The moment the blue halo appeared, a powerful energy wave spread out, causing the surrounding air to vibrate slightly.

The illusory figure of the holy beast's remaining soul seemed somewhat mysterious against the backdrop of the blue halo.

Its palm reached into the blue light circle without hesitation, as if looking for some precious treasure.

Suddenly, the blue halo emitted an even more dazzling light, so strong that it was impossible to look directly at it, as if a blue sun exploded in an instant.

However, this strong light only lasted for two breaths.

In this brief moment, the mysterious power within the blue halo seemed to be communicating with the remaining soul of the holy beast.

Two breaths later, the light of the blue halo suddenly shrank and receded quickly like the tide.

The hand of the remnant soul of the holy beast was also pulled out from inside at this time, with slow and steady movements.

As the palm of the remnant soul of the holy beast moved slightly, the blue halo disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

It opened its palm, and a blue bead appeared in the palm of the holy beast. The bead was dark blue in color, like the deep ocean, emitting a mysterious and charming light.

The bead lay quietly in the palm of the remnant soul of the holy beast. Its surface was round and smooth, as if it had been carefully polished by a skilled craftsman, without even the slightest flaw.

Not only that, but on the surface of this bead, there is a layer of faint spiritual light quietly emerging.

The spiritual light seemed like a faint flickering flame, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, flickering irregularly, giving people an indescribable and mysterious feeling.

At this moment, the remnant soul of the holy beast was staring at the blue bead in his palm intently, with an extremely complex light flashing in his eyes, as if he was reminiscing about the past, and as if he was filled with emotion.

Finally, the remnant soul of the holy beast slowly raised its head, carefully handed the blue bead to Matthew, and said softly: "Lord, this is one of the most important treasures of our sea clan, the Sea-Suppressing Pearl!"

After hearing this, Matthew was slightly startled.

Then his eyes fell on the blue bead in the hand of the remnant soul of the holy beast.

After carefully examining it for a few times, he shook his head and said, "Is this the legendary Zhenhai Pearl... To be honest, I just helped you a little, but you actually gave me such a valuable thing as a reward. I really feel a little ashamed and dare not easily accept it."

In fact, at the beginning, the remnant soul of the holy beast told Matthew that he would be rewarded after the task was accomplished, but in Matthew's expectation, it would be nothing more than some slightly rare items at most.

However, what he never expected was that the other party would actually take out such a rare treasure as the Zhenhai Pearl.

Matthew has lived in this God-Imprisoning Sea for many years, and he has long heard of the great reputation of the Zhenhai Pearl.

According to rumors, the Zhenhai Pearl can absorb endless sea water and turn its interior into an ocean.

Anyone trapped inside will never be able to get out.

As to whether it is true or not, it is unknown.

“Hehe, the Zhenhai Pearl is indeed precious, but the Sea Clan is now left with only this remnant soul of mine. When my soul power is exhausted, I won’t be able to take the Zhenhai Pearl away no matter how precious it is.”

Although the remnant soul of the holy beast said this with a smile, his face was full of loneliness.

"You still have a long life ahead of you, so there's no need to say such things. You must have a way to restore the sea clan. Just tell me what you want me to do. If it's not too difficult, I don't mind helping you once." But after seeing the expression of the remnant soul of the holy beast, Matthew chuckled and shook his head speechlessly.

Hearing Matthew's straightforward words, the face of the remnant soul of the holy beast froze slightly.

He gave a few awkward dry laughs.

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from Master Zhen. My request is very simple, which is to find a quiet and safe place for the sea people to recover. Master Zhen only needs to help find a place, and I won't bother you with anything else."

Since Matthew had already revealed everything, the remnant soul of the holy beast simply told him its purpose.

Things have come to this, if I don’t say anything, it would seem too pretentious.
