Seeing the bewilderment on the faces of Lin Yu and his companions, the woman paused for a moment, her gaze lingering on them before she spoke in a solemn and measured tone: "There is, in truth, an intricate and inseparable connection between this Spirit Bead and the Deep Blue Phantom River. The very reason the Deep Blue Phantom River exists is to steadfastly guard this Spirit Bead, preventing those with ulterior motives and malicious intentions from easily coveting and acquiring it."
Hearing this, Lin Yu felt a sudden surge in his heart. Almost instinctively, he reached quickly into his robe and cautiously took out the Spirit Bead they had risked so much to obtain within the river. The moment the two Spirit Beads appeared, they seemed like long-lost twin brothers, instantly producing a wondrous resonance. The light radiating from each of them intertwined and danced in the air like two vibrant ribbons of color, illuminating the slightly dim ancestral hall in a brilliant, dreamlike display of hues.
"It seems you truly share an extraordinary fate with these Spirit Beads," the woman said, a complex expression of emotion and apprehension flashing across her eyes. "Originally, the Spirit Bead was a complete, unified entity. Only later, following some earth-shattering cataclysm of unknown origin, did it split into two. Only by uniting these two Spirit Beads back into one can its true power be fully unleashed."
