Self-Created Secret Canon, Reincarnation Spirit Venerable Canon

Deep underground.

A small, exquisite palace, entirely suffused with an ancient bronze hue, lay hidden there. Before setting out, Gu You had borrowed this palace-type cave-heaven treasure—the Ling Huan Hall—from a fellow cultivator of the River of Life. Though it was not top-tier, its internal space was stable and possessed respectable concealment, defense, and time-flow adjustment capabilities.

The hall contained a small world of its own, with green mountains, clear waters, and abundant spiritual energy. Its time flow had been adjusted to ten times that of the outside world. At its center stood a quiet chamber built from Soul-Warming Jade, which had a slight calming effect.

Gu You sat cross-legged on a cushion in the center of the quiet chamber and first took out the smaller Ice Soul Condensing Heart Lotus.

The lotus floated before him. Its deep-blue petals were crystal-clear, while the ever-changing icy flame at its center burned silently. The chill it emitted was not physical cold, but a pure force that could reach the depth of the soul and suppress inner demons.

"Let's begin."

Gu You closed his eyes. A trace of azure spiritual radiance lit up between his brows and gently wrapped around the Ice Soul Condensing Heart Lotus like a tentacle. Rather than absorbing it violently, he guided it through resonance, allowing the lotus's icy-heart power to slowly seep into his sea of consciousness, divine soul, and even the depths of his Dao Heart.

Buzzz—!

A cold current, as clear as an icy spring yet carrying a soothing power, poured in through the spiritual connection.

Gu You felt his mind jolt awake, his consciousness clearer than ever before. The restlessness, hostility, and distractions accumulated through past cultivation, battles, and slaughter seemed to be covered and purified by ice and snow, gradually settling and dissipating.
