Half a day later.
Mu Jinyu brought Yin Li and once again arrived at the sealed Extremely Cold Hell.
"What should we do? Can't get in!"
Yin Li circled around the sealed entrance before turning to Mu Jinyu, asking if he had any good ideas.
Mu Jinyu said, "Of course we can't enter; your uncle mentioned that there's residual Curse Force here and advised you not to come frequently."
Yin Li glared angrily at Mu Jinyu, "Then why did you bring me here?"
Mu Jinyu replied, "It's good to look around outside, isn't it?"
Yin Li fell silent.
"Kid!"
Just then, a deep and authoritative voice suddenly rang out.
Upon listening carefully, it came from within the Extremely Cold Hell.
Upon reflection, the voice's owner was none other than the Qilin that had warned Yin Li not to approach here casually.
"Kid, didn't I tell you not to let our Princess come back? Why are you here again?"
As Mu Jinyu identified the voice's owner, the Qilin saw Mu Jinyu's dazed thoughtful appearance and immediately asked angrily.
"Uncle..."
Yin Li quickly responded, happily calling out.
"Ah... Little Princess, if you're alright, don't return anymore..."
The Qilin's voice sounded again, offering earnest advice.
Yin Li's eyes twinkled and she hurriedly explained, "No, uncle, we actually came for your help..."
Yin Li then recounted the events from not long ago, explaining that Mu Jinyu's cultivation was originally ruined, and someone deduced the Heavenly Mechanism, saying he might find a path to survival at the Dragon Vein Land, which led them to return.
"But the kid's cultivation clearly remains and has even advanced to top-grade in the current world."
The Qilin said suspiciously.
Yin Li pursed her lips, then recounted their experiences from days ago.
After listening, the Qilin was silent for a while before saying gloomily, "This kid's luck is truly deep!"
After a pause, it said, "But since his cultivation has recovered, there's even less reason for you to come here?"
Yin Li waved her little claws at Mu Jinyu, urging him, "Take out your seed quickly..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu felt moved, taking out the shriveled seed from his Sea of Consciousness.
"Oh... this is..."
Upon seeing the seed Mu Jinyu took out, the Qilin's voice slightly changed, transmitted through the ice cave of the Extremely Cold Hell.
"Isn't this the Divine Plant from your Sea of Consciousness? How has it become like this?" The Qilin's tone was full of surprise and regret.
Yin Li explained, "Didn't I just mention that he used the Soul Guarding Bell, lasting almost seven or eight minutes before giving out? If not for the Divine Plant, he wouldn't have lasted five minutes. To extend those minutes, nearly all the life-bound essence of the Divine Plant was drained!"
"I see..."
Hearing Yin Li's explanation, the Qilin understood.
It lamented, "This Divine Plant had a tough life with this kid!"
"You're looking for me to see if there's a way to save this Divine Plant Seed, right?"
"Yes, yes..."
Yin Li nodded repeatedly.
"Well, I do have a way, you're truly lucky; otherwise, if the seed is left for a while longer, it might truly wither..." exclaimed the Qilin.
"Ah?" Yin Li was startled by the statement.
Unexpectedly her offhand excuse actually led to such a significant revelation.
Mu Jinyu was also shocked, realizing the mystical little tree was indeed in trouble.
If not for bringing Yin Li along and her making up this excuse, he wouldn't know the mystical little tree was on the brink of death, about to wither.
He would continue hoping for the future, looking for more advanced Source of Life to save the mystical little tree.
Little did he realize by the time that happened, the seed would already be completely dead!
This realization made Mu Jinyu immensely grateful he brought Yin Li along, or he would regret it forever!
"Please help, Elder!" Mu Jinyu's tone was earnest as he shouted emotively towards the sealed ice cave.
"Alright, considering the King's favor towards you and your care for the Little Princess, I won't ignore this trivial matter!"
The Qilin's calm voice came from the ice cave.
"Crack..."
With that, a crack appeared in the sealed ice cave.
"Whoosh!!"
Moments later, a stream of emerald green liquid shot out from within, precisely landing on the shriveled, dull seed.
The seed began to absorb the emerald green stream incessantly; soon, its shriveled form started appearing plumper, with a hint of green on its gray-brown exterior.
"Alright, now it won't wither. Continue nurturing it with Spiritual Thought; as for it to sprout again... it requires a great amount of Origin Source. I've been trapped here too long, lacking resources, so you'll have to manage on your own..."
Soon, the emerald stream ceased, and the Qilin's voice, tinged with helplessness, resonated from the ice cave again.
"No worries, this is enough; thank you, Elder..."
Mu Jinyu expressed gratitude, his voice filled with appreciation towards the ice cave.
After speaking, he wanted to kneel and pay great respect!
After all, the mystical little tree had saved him multiple times; if it withered because of him, he couldn't accept it.
Moreover, the Qilin saving the seed equated to saving him; he felt that showing such respect was necessary.
However, as he prepared to kneel, he was intercepted by an unfathomable force.
"No need for that, it's a small matter..." The Qilin said casually, "Alright, you can leave now; don't linger here..."
Mu Jinyu hastily said, "Elder, may I ask one more question?"
"Alright, one final question, then you should go." The Qilin said.
Mu Jinyu then inquired why, when he initially acquired the seed, his cultivation was only at the Divinity Transformation Realm yet he managed to sprout the seed with a bit of Life Source Energy and the not-so-powerful Dragon Marrow Fluid.
But now, he's at Unity Realm Stage and struggling to sprout the seed again?
Was it because the seed had previously grown into a little tree, or was there another reason?
Qilin explained, "It's not related; mainly because when you acquired the seed, it had accumulated enough Origin Source, allowing it to sprout with additional Life Source Energy and thin Dragon Marrow Fluid!
"Recently, you drained its life-bound essence to save yourself, causing it to revert to a seed; to sprout again, it requires a vast amount of Origin Source, which is beyond the average individual's ability to provide!"
Upon understanding the Qilin's explanation, Mu Jinyu realized the challenge of reappearance of the little tree in his Sea of Consciousness, acknowledging the long path ahead!
Soon after, Mu Jinyu didn't have time to bid farewell to the Qilin before the Qilin said, "Alright, you should leave!"
With a "whoosh," Mu Jinyu and Yin Li were thrown thousands of miles away by an unstoppable Power of Laws!
