Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

"What?" Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan asked in unison, "Is it really that difficult?"

"To reincarnate, one must condense their spiritual wisdom to a certain extent, otherwise, they will be dispersed by the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Once the spiritual imprint is scattered, there is no such thing as 'reincarnation'..."

"Isn't it said that after people die, they become ghosts and wait in the underworld to be reincarnated?" Tang Feiyan said superstitiously, "In 'The Legend of the White Snake,' Xu Xian was reincarnated ten times as a simple shepherd boy..."

"You've been misled by supernatural novels!" Eric explained, "After a person dies, their spiritual wisdom, or what we commonly call the 'soul,' gradually decomposes into pure energy within eight or nine hours. They do not become ghosts and wait to be reincarnated..."

"What?" Tang Feiyan was extremely surprised. "Are you saying that 'ghost stories' and the like were made up by ancient people to deceive others?"

Before Eric could answer, Tan Ailing spoke first, "Ghosts should exist, right? Tan's 'Secret History' records a story about an ancestor encountering a ghost. Tan's ancestors shouldn't be so bored as to write ghost stories to scare their descendants in the 'Secret History,' right?"

Eric smiled slightly and said, "The existence of 'ghosts' requires two conditions to be met. First, the spiritual power of the deceased must be highly condensed and not easily dissipate; second, the burial place of the deceased must be a Yin Cave. Or, the burial items of the deceased contain treasures that can condense spiritual wisdom. However, 'ghosts' do not reincarnate..."

Here, Eric waved his hand to Tang Feiyan, who was about to speak, and added, "Although both spiritual wisdom and ghosts are based on human spirits, their manifestations are quite different. To give an analogy, a book with the same content, 'ghosts' is the physical version, while 'spiritual wisdom' is the electronic version! As for 'reincarnation,' it can be likened to 'copying,' and only electronic versions of books can use this function! Do you understand what I mean?"

Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, "We don't understand!"

Eric rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, I can't explain it to people who do not know about spirits..."

"We didn't want to hear about this!" Tang Feiyan said with a grievance, "We just wanted to ask, how do you know that if a mother's spiritual wisdom is weak, it will be destroyed by the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

Eric was stunned by her words. Yeah, how did I assume that a mother's spiritual wisdom would be unable to pass through the Six Paths of Reincarnation?

Seeing the expression on Eric's face, Tang Feiyan smiled somewhat proudly and asked, "Eric, what are you waiting for? Use your Dark Chronicles to calculate where Mother's spiritual wisdom has been reincarnated!"

"You're quite anxious!" Eric smiled bitterly, "The Dark Chronicles require a certain state of mind. How can I calculate in my current situation?"

"I see!" Tang Feiyan was not disappointed. "Then let's take Mother's remains back first, and then you can go into seclusion to calculate where Mother has been reincarnated, and we can visit her together..."

"You seem very confident?" Eric looked at her strangely.

Tang Feiyan glanced at him, "Huh, haven't you heard of a woman's intuition?"

Seeing her expression, Tan Ailing also expressed her confusion, "Eric, didn't you think about calculating where mother's remains were going to be reincarnated when you calculated them a few days ago?"

"I never thought that my mother's spiritual wisdom might be reincarnated," Eric paused, then added, "Even if I had a slight idea, I wouldn't dare to verify it! After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment..."

Tan Ailing understood Eric's thoughts and whispered, "Eric, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should try it! Let's take Mother's remains first!"

Eric nodded and personally took action. But as he supported the mummy with both hands, his expression changed.

"What's wrong?"

Eric shook his head without answering but closed his eyes. Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan saw that a black light flashed across his face.

Thirty seconds later, Eric opened his eyes, full of inexplicable excitement. Before Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan could ask, Eric exclaimed, "I sensed my mother's soul!"

"What?" Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan were shocked, and asked in unison, "Mother's soul is still here?"

"Yes, right here!" Eric's voice trembled slightly. "Right within mother's body!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Tang Feiyan glanced at the mummy and asked timidly, "Mother... Mother has become a ghost?"

Eric gave her a disdainful look and said, "No, my dark heart just sensed a trace of my mother's soul deeply hidden within her body."

Tan Ailing exclaimed in surprise, "Eric, didn't you say that a person's soul would dissipate within eight or nine hours after death? It's been over ten years, how could Mother still retain a trace of her soul... Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"I'm sure!" Eric affirmed confidently. Then, he searched for the reason, "I think it might be because the spiritual energy here is exceptionally abundant, so the soul's dissipation rate is extremely slow. Additionally, it may also be related to my mother's constitution. After all, a woman who can give birth to a Chaos Body must have some peculiarities..."

Tan Ailing nodded, agreeing with this speculation, and asked, "So what are you going to do now?"

"Let's return to the Sakya Temple first!"

After returning to the Sakya Temple, Eric immediately contacted Eric Yun, who had already returned to the Medicine King Sect.

"Grandpa, I won't be going to the Medicine King Sect for the time being..."

"Eric, what's wrong?" Eric Yun chuckled, "Don't tell me you know that Su, the girl from the Medicine God Religion, is in our Medicine King Sect? She's quite stubborn. Although I managed to persuade her to come back, she insists on waiting for you..."

That girl isn't waiting for me. She's waiting for the vampires...

Eric listened to Eric Yun's subjective speculation, feeling somewhat amused and helpless, but he didn't want to interrupt his enthusiastic grandfather. It wasn't until he mentioned, "Why don't you consider her?" that Eric hurriedly interrupted, "Grandpa, please stop. I have no relationship with Su. Please don't guess... I'm not avoiding the Medicine King Sect because of Su Ying!"

Eric Yun paused, then asked in a somber tone, "Is it because of your mother's remains?"

Naturally, Eric Yun had misinterpreted Eric's intentions. He quickly clarified, "Grandpa, please don't jump to conclusions. My mother's remains have been found, but..."

"But what?" Eric Yun was extremely excited, unable to stop his wild thoughts. He interrupted, "Is something wrong with your mother's remains?"

"Grandpa," Eric said helplessly, "Can you let me finish speaking?"

"Go ahead, go ahead..."

Sensing Eric Yun's impatience, Eric shook his head slightly and said softly, "Grandpa, I've just ascended to the throne, and there are many things here that require my attention. I really can't leave right now. Besides, I also want to hold a grand ceremony for my mother. So, if we want to move my mother's remains back to the Medicine King Sect, it might have to wait for a few months..."

"I see..." Eric Yun's voice sounded relieved, "As long as your mother's remains are safe, it's okay to wait a few more months..."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Feiyan asked puzzled, "Eric, why didn't you tell Grandpa about the discovery of a lingering soul in Mom's remains?"

"Can this matter be disclosed?" Eric shook his head, "Aren't you afraid Grandpa would rush over from the Medicine King Sect?"

"What's wrong with him coming over?" Tang Feiyan was even more puzzled, "This is good news. What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid Grandpa would be more heartbroken..."

"Heartbroken?" Tang Feiyan asked in confusion, "Eric, can't you revive Mom?"

Eric rolled his eyes, "Do you think I'm the Goddess of Life or something?"

"Even if you can't bring Mom back to life, can't you change her from a 'soul' to a 'ghost'?" Tang Feiyan, who had some understanding of the difference between "spirit" and "ghost," suggested, "You are a living Buddha, you should have great powers! If Mom could 'wake up' and talk to Grandpa, he would be ecstatic, how could he be sad..."

Eric shook his head, "Considering the current condition of Mom's soul, it may be difficult to transform her into a 'ghost'..."

Perhaps Tan Ailing had similar thoughts before, and she couldn't help but ask now, "How could this be..."

Eric sighed and said, "Although the location where Mom's remains are is filled with spiritual energy, and her physique is quite special, the time has passed too long. Her soul has already dissipated for the most part, and she can't undergo the process of transforming from a 'soul' to a 'ghost'..." Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire

"Eric, you must have a way, right?" Tang Feiyan always had confidence in Eric.

And Eric did not disappoint her, nodding and saying, "Mom's soul is too weak. Regardless of what I ultimately plan to do, nourishing her soul is the top priority!"

Tan Ailing's eyes twinkled, smiling, "Eric, from what you're saying, it seems like you have some arrangements for Mom's soul?"

"Yes!" Eric's eyes were somewhat distant, "As long as Mom's soul can be restored, whether it's transforming her into a ghost or protecting her reincarnation, I am confident! And I have another method, but the hope of success is slim. I don't want Grandpa to be hopeful and then disappointed again..."

"What do you mean by being hopeful and then disappointed?" Tan Ailing was puzzled, "What is your method?"

"I might be able to revive Mom..."
