"Haha, this place is far better than that girl's. Who would have thought, who would have thought—I shall sleep here first. Pay me no mind; from now on, just pretend I do not exist!" the ghastly thing said excitedly. "When I wake, I shall give you something good!"
"You... you mean to take up long residence here?" Wei Zhao's mouth twitched twice.
"Yes. Did you not agree to my condition? It is merely the lifting of a hand for you, and it will cause no harm or effect on you or your friends. I have kept my word," the ghastly thing said.
"You—" Wei Zhao did not know what to say.
"All right, I am going to sleep now. Goodbye..." With that, without waiting for any reply from Wei Zhao, the ghastly thing shrank into a small clump and hid itself in a corner of the jade pendant's space.
"Hey, wait a moment!" Wei Zhao was caught between laughter and tears. "You have simply taken over my territory, and you will not explain how you got in?"
No sound. The ghastly thing had indeed kept its word and gone straight to sleep; Wei Zhao's words were wasted.
"You..." Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile, unsure what to say, for saying anything was useless. With a helpless sigh, he turned to Jiao Yazi and said, "Old Jiao, how did it get in?"
"How would I know? It simply came in." Jiao Yazi shook his head. "This space is yours, not mine. I am merely a sliver—a分身 of a primordial spirit..."
"Primordial spirit? You are a primordial spirit too?" Wei Zhao started, then asked.
"It seems so, but I am not certain. As I said, many of my memories remain unopened, so there is much I cannot explain," Jiao Yazi said. "However, that this thing could enter is plainly because you yourself assented to it. As to how you assented, I am not quite clear either. But it does not matter; it should bear you no ill will."
Wei Zhao nodded. If the ghastly thing meant him harm, it would hardly have waited until now; and it had always reasoned and negotiated with him, which let Wei Zhao relax a little. Better to wait until the ghastly thing woke and then ask.
"Very well. Though I have no idea when it will wake." Wei Zhao smiled bitterly. "This jade pendant's space has not even been refined yet, and it has already come in. Truly strange."
"It is in primordial-spirit form, different from ordinary things. In fact, what enters the jade pendant's space is also your primordial spirit; your body is still out in the world," Jiao Yazi explained.
"So that is how it is!" Wei Zhao was somewhat surprised. "I have a primordial spirit too? Is it not said that only when one's rank reaches a certain height can a primordial spirit be projected outward?"
"Your mental cultivation method is special," Jiao Yazi said.
