"Time is almost up."
The Zen Master softly chanted a Buddhist phrase, raised a single hand in salute, and lowered his voice to say, "Patron, take care... We shall meet again if fate allows..."
...
...
Countless golden lights submerged Xie Xuanyi.
The roar of the tides.
The sound of slaughter from the North Sea gradually faded from his ears, and he felt an inner chill rising from within Heart Lake.
Thereafter, the world turned pitch black.
Pitch black.
After an unknown duration, Xie Xuanyi opened his eyes to see the sky filled with frost and snow, countless ice flakes covering the shoulders of his clothes.
"Is this... Ice Soul Cave Heaven?"
Xie Xuanyi was momentarily stunned.
The scene now was almost identical to right before he "Forget Sorrows" entered the dream, with countless frost and snow forming a large cocoon, encapsulating him inside.
However, within the cocoon, Jiang Miaoyin's figure was absent.
Only he was all alone.
