"I have a way to bring Yuqiao back," Chen Hao said.
Upon hearing Chen Hao's words, Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng immediately showed expressions of great surprise.
"Damn it, you..." Tang Jing struggled to find the words. Judging by Chen Hao's behavior over the past few months, she felt that what he said sounded a bit like the ramblings of a madman.
Chen Hao smiled helplessly and then explained, "Don't you believe what I'm saying?"
Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng nodded while looking at Chen Hao with confusion.
"I'm not lying to you," Chen Hao got a little frustrated, then pointed to the farewell letter in Xie Xiaofeng's hand, "If it weren't for this reason, you definitely wouldn't be seeing me now. I would have already done what the letter said and ended myself."
A flash of light passed through Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng's eyes, and their expressions changed from doubt to disbelief.
"Chen Hao, are you serious? There really is a way to revive Yuqiao?"
Chen Hao nodded confidently then pulled Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng to sit on the couch, and began to talk about the past two days: from the shadowy figure telling him about the method to revive Ye Yuqiao, up until just a short while ago when he came out from the Demon-Sealing Scroll.
After listening to Chen Hao, Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng both showed expressions of wild joy.
"Damn it, Yuqiao can really come back, that's so great!" Tang Jing said excitedly, looping her arm through Chen Hao's.
"Yes! That's great!" Xie Xiaofeng chimed in, then took the opportunity to get closer to Tang Jing.
Seeing the two so happy, Chen Hao also smiled widely, thinking to himself how lucky he was to have these two friends.
"After a while, I guess I will need to go into secluded cultivation," Chen Hao said later, his expression slightly solemn. Although there was a method to revive Ye Yuqiao, he still had a long way to go to fulfill this wish, and hardships were inevitable.
"Damn it, this time we must help you!" Tang Jing said, "This is not just your affair alone. Even though Yuqiao is your girlfriend, she is also our good friend, you can't refuse our help again."
"This..." Chen Hao was very troubled, "I guess the opponent we are facing this time might be even scarier than the Ghost King and the Eight Great Law Kings, you guys should..."
"Chen Hao, you better not underestimate us!" Xie Xiaofeng interrupted, "In these past few months, Tang Jing and I have both made sudden rapid progress. Have you forgotten that my Five Elements Spells are not only for catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, but are also powerful enough to deal with a tough opponent like the Ghost King?"
As he spoke, Xie Xiaofeng looked towards Tang Jing and continued, "Although Tang Jing's spells aren't very lethal, some of her inherited secret techniques are quite useful, and will definitely come in handy."
Chen Hao became more and more troubled.
"Chen Hao!" Tang Jing gave Chen Hao a fierce glare, "If you don't take the two of us with you this time, I'm going to break off our friendship! In your heart, the two of us probably don't count as your friends."
Chen Hao's expression turned bittersweet, and he replied helplessly, "Who threatens others like this? But this tactic really works, I definitely have to agree in order not to lose you two as friends."
Having said that, a faint smile appeared on Chen Hao's face, his heart filled with gratitude for his two friends Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng.
"Great!" Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng high-fived in celebration.
"It's already past one A.M.; why don't you both stay over for the night? Tang Jing, you sleep in my room, Xiao Feng, you can go to my grandfather's room, and I'll sleep on the couch. I might as well meditate and practice the 'Return to Yang Spell' while I'm on the couch."
After Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing went to their rooms to rest, Chen Hao began to sit cross-legged on the couch.
However, he wasn't practicing the 'Return to Yang Spell', but was sensing his entry into the Nether King's Heart.
He wanted to see those particles on the surface of the Nether King's Heart, the Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul particles of Ye Yuqiao's Yang Spirit; he also wanted to try and see if he could sense the other half of the Nether King's Heart.
After a while, his consciousness entered the Nether King's Heart.
The moment he stepped in, he saw the particles of the Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul on the surface of the Nether King's Heart suddenly flash with a dazzling light.
He didn't know if Ye Yuqiao was greeting him, or if it was just an inertial flicker.
"Yuqiao, I've come to see you!"
After being lost in thought for a while, Chen Hao began to drive the Nether King's Heart to sense the surroundings, then the entire Y City, followed by the whole mortal world, and finally expanding to both the Yin and Yang realms.
And his ultimate goal was a certain location in the Polar Ice Land of the Netherworld, the other half of the Glacier Heart that could respond to him.
Countless images rapidly alternated in Chen Hao's mind. He seemed to have seen the high school he attended years ago, the most famous scenic spots in the East Country, then the ancient Netherworld City, and the dark and eerie Black Forest.
Eventually, he saw a land of ice and snow. A continent almost purely white in color, boundless, endless. Beyond the rolling snow mountains was another continuous panorama of snow-capped peaks.
At that moment, Chen Hao felt his breathing become suffocating, and a severe coldness invaded his consciousness.
His Yin Soul had now fully merged with the Nether King's Heart, the chilling Spiritual Power of the Nether King's Heart permeating his entire Yin Soul.
But he was not yet able to fully control and withstand this powerful Spiritual Power.
"Hang in there!" Chen Hao encouraged himself internally, feeling a premonition that he was very close to the other half of the heart.
Minutes passed, and Chen Hao had become numb with cold, but the rapidly switching images in his mind were still of ice and snow.
"Just a little longer," he encouraged himself for the third time.
Just then, a pale blue light suddenly flashed across the images in his mind, and then the images paused.
He was startled, filled with excitement: "Could this be the other half of the Nether King's Heart?"
He widened his eyes, trying to approach that Nether King's Heart.
Suddenly, the pale blue light flickered again before it quickly appeared right in front of him.
With a "thump," his consciousness in his mind trembled violently as the two Nether King's Hearts collided.
"Ugh!" Chen Hao let out a pained cry, unable to hold on any longer; the images in his mind began to blur and shatter.
In the final moment, he saw a pair of eyes, followed by a face.
It was the face of a middle-aged man wearing a crown, handsome in appearance, with an aura of dignified authority that was chilling to the bone.
Chen Hao was startled, wondering if this man could be the Second Generation Nether King?
..

"Chen Hao, Chen Hao, wake up!" Tang Jing's anxious voice came through.
Chen Hao struggled to open his eyes slightly and found that everything below his neck had been encased in ice. Xiao Feng and Tang Jing were using Yang Energy Power to warm him.
"I'm all right," Chen Hao said weakly.
After saying just one sentence, he fainted again.
