Luo Chen suppressed the volatile Ming Water Spring Eye into the Primordial Chaos Tripod, avoiding risky refinement after emerging injured from the ruins of Yanfu Mountain. Reuniting with anxious Luo Tian Sect members aboard the Crossing Ghost Ship, he confirmed the deed done and led them back to the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land. The sect buzzed with excitement over his return and past victories, while Sima Huiniang fretted over his troubles with the Spring Eye from her icy seclusion.

Today, a hint of bustle disrupted the decade-long silence in Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.

Yet, this bustle swiftly faded back into calm.

Three silhouettes detached from the throng and rapidly soared southeastward.

"She’s remained in Small Stone Square all these years, never venturing out," Gu Caiyi murmured softly into the mild wind.

Hearing this, Luo Chen nodded, though his face showed a complicated look.

Small Stone Square.

The peaks and cave abodes in Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land had no original names; they were dubbed by Luo Tian Sect cultivators based on their past encounters upon settling in.

Hence, many locations carry a nostalgic feel.

Hui Niang calling her dwelling Small Stone Square clearly honored Baili Qingchuan’s former cave mansion.

What exactly was she honoring?

The century-long wait, the agony of Qi scorching the body, or maybe her own inner grudges?

Next to him, Elder Canglong remarked, "A year after your departure, upon my return to the Blessed Land, her disciple Yao Mingyue approached me, begging to apply the Ice Extreme Seal on Luo Lingxi."

Luo Chen started in surprise but soon grasped the implication, his eyebrows knitting tightly.

To break Canglong’s seal back then, he had delved into the Ice Castle’s legacy technique, Ten Directions Freeze Extreme Dao.

He had naturally explored the sealing art inside it—the Ice Extreme Seal.

This advanced sealing technique freezes a cultivator’s condition at that instant.

It excels at maintaining the sealed person’s prior state, yet it prevents healing wounds via the seal, and demands constant influx of frigid power from outside during the process.

Only one factor caused Luo Chen’s frown.

"Lingxi’s cultivation level is so low—how could he withstand the Ice Extreme Seal?"

With a tone of respect, Elder Canglong replied, "I warned Sima Daoist of that then, but she insisted firmly, stating your return time was uncertain, and if you came back too late or failed to obtain the Fourth-Tier Demon Heart Gu, Luo Lingxi would pass the prime age for cultivation. The Ice Extreme Seal alone offered any chance. Regarding Luo Lingxi’s frailty against the seal’s chill..."

Here, Elder Canglong eyed Luo Chen and added quietly, "Sima Huiniang opted to shield Luo Lingxi with her own Qi-blood against the cold’s assault. A mother’s devotion to her child is boundless."

Luo Chen pressed his lips together, asking no more.

The trio sped along, and following Gu Caiyi’s lead, soon arrived at Small Stone Square.

Despite the shared name, the vista differed greatly.

Luo Chen, not bothering to inspect closely, waved his hand lightly to dispel the guarding formation and marched right in.

The instant he entered the cave dwelling, their gazes locked, and Luo Chen’s stern expression melted away.

"Why push yourself so far."

Previously, under Luo Chen’s care, Sima Huiniang recovered swiftly, her depleted lifespan restored by longevity pills. With proper tending, she resumed cultivation and regained her youthful looks.

Yet now, Sima Huiniang appeared greatly aged.

Her once lustrous black tresses now bore streaks of silver.

Over ten years, expending her Qi-blood to safeguard Luo Lingxi had drained her terribly.

Sima Huiniang gazed at Luo Chen, and whatever bitterness lingered in her heart dissipated instantly like mist, whispering, "Husband, you’ve returned."

Luo Chen let out a sigh, advancing to pull her into his embrace.

Behind, Gu Caiyi observed the moment without a trace of envy, unusual for her jealous nature.

Hui Niang pinned her aspirations on son Luo Lingxi, while she resolved to cultivate diligently and ascend to Nascent Soul Realm someday, sharing eternity with Luo Chen.

If love endures eternally, what does it matter in morning or evening?

For Immortal Cultivators, this rings even truer.

What wrong in allowing her husband this tender moment?

Gu Caiyi pivoted, nodding to Elder Canglong, "We’ll rely on you for the next step."

Elder Canglong gave a subtle smile and headed to another chamber radiating icy chill.

Sima Huiniang, witnessing this, snapped alert and urgently inquired, "Husband, have you secured the Demon Heart Gu?"

Luo Chen let go, nodding gravely as he affirmed, "Yes, we’ve obtained it, and today we’ll free our son from the seal."

Suddenly, Sima Huiniang brimmed with joy.

Elder Canglong pushed open the stone gate, unleashing a rush of frigid air.

His eyebrows furrowed uncontrollably upon seeing the youth encased in the crimson ice jade.

"Blood Penetrating Mysterious Ice, Sima Daoist truly paid a heavy price!"

Sima Huiniang ignored such matters, her ashen face flickering with faint hope. "Please, Elder Canglong, shatter the seal on my son!"

Elder Canglong nodded, then unhurriedly started forming the Dao Law Method.

Qi energy swirled, slowly infiltrating the blood-colored ice jade.

Slowly, the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice started melting, turning into a thin stream that darted toward Elder Canglong’s fingertips.

After roughly one incense stick’s worth of time, Elder Canglong flicked his slim fingers, clutching a Blood Pearl as he exited the chamber.

"The rest depends on you."

"Thank you!"

Luo Chen steadied himself, stood up, and stepped into the room.

Luo Lingxi’s young eyelashes quivered as awakening neared, but Luo Chen pressed a finger to his forehead.

"Sleep a bit more; upon waking, you can start the cultivation you’ve always yearned for."

While Luo Chen uttered those words, he drew a throbbing heart from his storage ring.

The Demon Heart Gu hides precisely within this Demon Heart!

Dong!

The door crashed shut, severing the outside gaze.

Sima Huiniang shivered faintly, gripped by anxiety, as Gu Caiyi offered comfort beside her.

"Don’t fret—with your husband’s help, Lingxi will definitely be fine. Rather than worry, consider how to instruct him in cultivation after recovery, so he won’t disgrace his father’s reputation in the days ahead."
