[I guessed the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had told Huo Yuhao something else, too.
Simply urging him to relax might not have made Huo Yuhao change right away. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had probably given him something to hope for, something that made the future feel worth looking forward to.
It had to involve Huo Yuhao's upcoming cultivation-namely, the plan to visit the Far North. Once his soul power level rose a little higher, he would probably see that hope become reality.]

Once he set his mind on something, he would plunge down that road into the darkness, refusing to turn back even after hitting a brick wall. That disposition let him advance rapidly in his cultivation, because he was not afraid of hardship.
