The night was deep.
Chen Hao had been in the Demon-Sealing Scroll for half a day, and within the scroll, he had already spent half a month.
Two years ago, in the first Demon-Sealing Scroll he entered, there was a desert world. It was there that he first heard about the ancient city, and he brought Lin Huashan out from the scroll.
But this time, the Demon-Sealing Scroll he entered was an icy world.
Fortunately, he had a strong Yang Energy to help him counteract the chill of the icy world.
After walking in the snow for a day, aside from the ever-thickening snow, he saw nothing else.
"If I can't find the physical manifestation of the Ancestor of the Nether King's power, am I going to stay inside indefinitely?" he sighed wearily, his face full of fatigue.
Alone in this world, he felt extremely lonely.
"Chen Hao!" Suddenly, a voice rang in his mind.
It was the shadowy figure!
Chen Hao immediately showed a surprised delight. Because every time the shadowy figure appeared, it always brought him hope.
This time, of course, was no exception.
"Chen Hao, the Ancestor of the Nether King's power is also Nether King's Power. You might try sensing that power through the Nether King's Heart!" suggested the shadowy figure.
"I've already tried that, and sensed nothing."
"You sensed the Nether King Orchid Heart, not the Nether King's Heart."
"Ah!" Chen Hao exclaimed in surprise. "Is there a difference?"
"The Nether King Orchid Heart resides in the realm of illusions, while the Nether King's Heart truly exists; the difference is significant. The Nether King Orchid Heart can only be sensed when the Nether King's Power is used; whereas the Nether King's Heart can sense the silent or even sealed Nether King's Power," explained the shadowy figure.
"So that's the case. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've been wandering in the snow for half a month for nothing!"
"What, has it already been half a month? I actually forgot that time within the Demon-Sealing Scroll moves thirty times faster than in reality."
"I despise you!" Chen Hao said with a look of disgust. "I'll try first, and if that doesn't work, you come out."
That said, Chen Hao followed the shadowy figure's tip and slowly felt towards his left eye, the source of his Spiritual Power. Because he had mostly sensed the Nether King Orchid Heart, whether intentionally or not, he couldn't help but sense it again.
He opened his left eye to interrupt, adjusted, and then tried again.
However, after more than a dozen attempts, all he sensed was the Nether King Orchid Heart. In his memory, the only time he had seen the Nether King Orchid Heart was two years ago, a couple of months after he met Ye Yuqiao.
At that time, to deal with the Soul Devouring Beast sent by Qian Feng, he took a risk to stimulate his outbreak and practiced the Nether Vision Technique. At the critical moment, he saw the true Nether King's Heart.
"What should I do, I can't sense the Nether King's Heart," Chen Hao asked the shadowy figure in his mind for help.
"Chen Hao, Yuqiao's Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul particles are scattered within the Nether King's Heart. Do you want to see her?" the shadowy figure said in a somber tone.
Obviously, he was using Ye Yuqiao to stimulate Chen Hao.
Chen Hao felt a violent tremor in his heart and became momentarily stunned. After a while, he closed his eyes again, trying to sense the Nether King's Heart with the eager wish to see Ye Yuqiao.
A sense of weightlessness suddenly invaded his consciousness.
When the feeling disappeared, Chen Hao looked up at the sky to see a heart shining with a pale blue light, its luster like a piece of crystal-clear ice. Inside the heart was filled with numerous black blood—the surging Nether King's Power!
After carefully examining it for a while, on the ice-like surface of the heart, he saw countless particles shimmering with a faint yellow light.
In an instant, a familiar and warm feeling filled his heart.
"Yuqiao, is that you?" Chen Hao murmured to himself, his eyes brimming with tears.
He suddenly remembered that the first time he saw the Nether King's Heart, he had shouted out loud, "Ye Yuqiao, I love you."
It was after that public declaration that a surge of Spiritual Power emerged from the Nether King's Heart and entered his body as a response.
"Yuqiao, I miss you, I really miss you so much!" Chen Hao suddenly shouted at the Nether King's Heart.
Immediately, he saw the particles of Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul attached to the surface of the Nether King's Heart flickering, emitting a dazzling star-like brilliance, akin to a vast and mystical constellation.
Chen Hao trained the brightest of those particles into a line and vaguely, he seemed to see the outline of Ye Yuqiao.
"Yuqiao, so you are right here," Chen Hao said through streaming tears. He was certain that this dazzling spectacle of stars was Ye Yuqiao's response to him.
"Yuqiao, wait for me, I will definitely bring you back to my side."
Suddenly, the particles of Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul all turned dull.
"Yuqiao!" Chen Hao exclaimed in shock, "Do you not wish for this to happen?"
The particles of Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul twinkled faintly.
"Why, don't you know, without you I am in so much pain."
The particles of Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul turned dull once more.
"Yuqiao, do you really not want to come back to my side?" Chen Hao asked again.
The particles of Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul showed no further change, continuing to remain dull.
"Maybe she just doesn't want you to tire yourself out," the voice of the shadowy figure rang in Chen Hao's mind once more, "You've already done so much for her."
"I'm not tired, I will never feel tired," Chen Hao shook his head repeatedly, "It's only when you are not by my side that my heart feels weary and desperate."
The shadowy figure sighed sorrowfully, then suggested, "Just feel the Nether King's Heart for now. Whatever you want to say, say it after you've revived her."
A look of reluctance on his face, Chen Hao glanced at the Nether King's Heart one more time, then closed his eyes.
Soon after, a chill invaded his body, clashing with the Yang Energy he had absorbed, repelling each other.
"This must be the sensation of the Nether King's Heart, so icy cold!" Chen Hao thought to himself.
Half a minute later, Chen Hao opened his eyes.
Immediately, an intense feeling arose in his chest. He looked to the south, in that direction, he felt a presence similar to the Nether King's Heart, icy cold and colliding with the Yang Energy inside him.
Thus, he employed his Qinggong, rushing toward the south at the fastest speed.
Before long, he arrived in front of a cave entrance, that power was emanating from within.
He walked slowly into the darkness, gathering a ball of purple Nether Eye's Fire in his left hand to illuminate the way as he activated the Nether Vision Technique to peer deep inside.
Not long afterward, at the end, he saw a pair of crimson eyes.
It was a canine beast, a huge canine beast.
He had a feeling of déjà vu. He remembered that three months ago, after defeating the Ghost King, the canine Blade Souls that emerged from the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade had attempted to devour his Yin Soul.
One of those canine beasts was identical to the one he was now seeing.
"The Great Ancestor of the Nether King's manifestation is a canine beast, could it be related to those Blade Souls and the Ghost King?"
