The two entered the room, and Qin Shuang looked slightly nervous.

“What should I do?” she asked.

“Lie down on the bed,” Xu Zimo said with a wave of his hand.

Seeing Qin Shuang obediently lie on the bed, her long eyelashes fluttering as she looked at him, Xu Zimo first placed his hand on her forehead to examine her condition.

The damage caused by the Underworld Ice Physique had clearly exceeded Xu Zimo’s expectations.

Although Qin Shuang currently looked healthy, in reality, she was already at her limit.

Her internal organs had been largely frozen and were now only being sustained by fire-attribute medicines.

As the power of the Underworld Ice-Flame continued to grow, these medicines would gradually lose effectiveness.

One day, she would be entirely frozen and die in that extreme cold.

“Can I still be cured?” Qin Shuang asked.

“Go to sleep for now. When you wake up, everything will be fine,” Xu Zimo nodded.

With a wave of his right hand in front of her eyes, Qin Shuang gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Zimo then summoned the Nirvana-Fire Pearl from his True Fate World.

The pearl resembled a blazing flame, slowly burning in midair.

Xu Zimo guided the Nirvana-Fire Pearl into Qin Shuang’s mouth, sending it into her body.

The moment it entered, a visible change occurred.

Qin Shuang’s entire body turned slightly red, and moisture on her skin began to evaporate rapidly.

Sensing a threat, the Underworld Ice Physique began to fight back.

Layers of illusory, deep-blue ice burst from within her, trying to freeze the Nirvana-Fire Pearl.

“With just this? Not enough,” Xu Zimo snorted.

Under his control, the Nirvana-Fire Pearl burned even more fiercely, its flames raging.

The Underworld Ice Physique, though beneficial in many ways, simultaneously harmed its host.

It always hurt its bearer before it could hurt others.

Xu Zimo's goal was to seal the Underworld Ice Physique using the Nirvana-Fire, just enough for Qin Shuang’s body to handle.

When she became stronger in the future, she could gradually unseal it.

After a ten-minute standoff between the Underworld Ice-Flame and the Nirvana-Fire, the ice was finally forced back.

Xu Zimo spread the Nirvana-Fire through her internal organs, dispelling the cold toxins that had plagued her for years.

When the sealing was complete, the Nirvana-Fire Pearl turned into a streak of light and flew back out of her mouth.

“All done,” Xu Zimo said, patting Qin Shuang’s shoulder.

She slowly awoke from her sleep.

“It’s... it’s done?” she said excitedly, feeling her body.

“How do you feel?” Xu Zimo smiled.

“Warm all over. I’ve never felt like this before,” she replied.

“I’ve sealed your Underworld Ice-Flame. With cultivation, it could one day become your greatest asset,” Xu Zimo said. “A blessing in disguise.”

“Thank you, Young Master Xu,” Qin Shuang said, eyes soft as water, looking at him.

She seemed to want to say something but hesitated and held back.

Xu Zimo opened the door, and Qin Feng hurried in, immediately asking about Qin Shuang’s condition.

When he learned she was healed, he quickly expressed his gratitude to Xu Zimo.

Xu Zimo waved it off and said, “Now that Shuang’er is cured, it’s time I leave.”

“Must you go so soon?” Qin Shuang asked sadly.

“Yes, I have a match to attend on the Eastern Continent. I’m not even sure I’ll make it in time,” Xu Zimo smiled.

He had promised to participate in the Martial Heaven Tournament, but after everything that had happened, he felt pressed for time.

“In that case, I won’t keep you,” Qin Feng sighed. “I only hope you’ll visit our home more often.”

Xu Zimo smiled and nodded.

Qin Shuang stepped forward and slowly took out a sachet from her sleeve, handing it to him.

“I made this myself. It’s meant to bring good luck. I hope you’ll wear it.”

Xu Zimo accepted it without much thought and tied it to his waist.

“Then I’ll be off. Until we meet again,” he said.

With a wave, Chaos appeared in the sky, its mighty beastly aura surging.

Xu Zimo and Monk Great Wisdom took to the air, and with a beastly roar, they rode Chaos into the distance.

“He truly is a future Grand Emperor...” Qin Feng sighed.

He turned to see his daughter looking gloomy.

He asked, “Shuang’er, does that sachet really only mean good luck?”

“Father, don’t overthink it,” Qin Shuang replied.

“If you don’t say something now, you might never get the chance,” Qin Feng said meaningfully.

“I don’t understand what Father means...” Qin Shuang replied with her head lowered.

“Right. Even if you said it, what difference would it make?” Qin Feng shook his head.

“The world that Young Master Xu belongs to is far too vast. Crown City can’t contain him. Even this entire Primordial Heartlands might be too small.”

“Father, do you think I’ll ever see Young Master Xu again?” Qin Shuang asked, dazedly staring into the distance.

“Shuang’er, if you truly want to be with him, there’s only one way,” Qin Feng replied.

“What way?” she asked quickly.

“Become as powerful as he is,” Qin Feng said. “See the same world he sees. Otherwise, the two of you are from different worlds. That’s why I didn’t try to make him stay.”

Hearing this, Qin Shuang stood alone, staring blankly in the direction where Xu Zimo disappeared.

...

“You’re going to the Martial Heaven Tournament?” Monk Great Wisdom asked curiously along the way. “What’s the point of attending it?”

“The rewards don’t matter to me. I just want to see the talents of the Eastern Continent,” Xu Zimo smiled.

The Heaven's Will was beginning to form, and he didn’t care about the tournament prizes.

He had been away from the Eastern Continent for so long, he didn’t know how many prodigies had emerged.

It wasn’t just the disciples of imperial lineages and first-class forces, even among rogue cultivators, there was no shortage of talent.

After the tournament, Xu Zimo planned to resolve the matter of the True God Sword and possibly visit the Ancient Celestial Court.

Now that he had obtained the Void Spirit Monkey, he also intended to go to the sealed land of the Primordial Demon Cave to meet the Ancient Demons there.

There was still much to do, and by the time he finished it all, the Heaven's Will would likely be fully formed.

...

Chaos flew at full speed through the void for more than ten days.

Then one day, a loud noise suddenly caught Xu Zimo’s attention.
