"Hey, are you okay?" Yuan hurried out of the pond and rushed to Mu Xuelian's side, finding her drenched in sweat and gasping for breath.
After catching her breath, Mu Xuelian lifted her head to glare at him. "Who... who are you...?" she muttered.
"I'm Yuan," he instantly replied.
"You know that's not what I meant... You know what? Forget it..." Though Shiva had possessed her, Mu Xuelian had remained conscious the entire time, seeing and hearing everything that transpired throughout their conversation.
Mu Xuelian quietly climbed back onto the ice bed and began cultivating.
Seeing that she was fine, Yuan returned to the pond and continued his cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.

Yuan opened his eyes after reaching True Immortal and learning Eternal Essence. Within his gaze flickered a profound radiance, vast and unfathomable, like the reflection of a secret that belonged solely to the universe.
Mu Xuelian, who had been cultivating on the ice bed for the entire time, also opened her eyes upon noticing Yuan's movements. Yuan stood from the pond and tilted his head to gaze at the ice. He retrieved Number One Under Heaven and prepared for his third attempt. This time, instead of using Absolute Dragon Awakening or other martial techniques, Yuan focused solely on his Eternal Essence.
Silence lingered for only a moment before a golden brilliance surged from Yuan's form, flooding the cavern with light. With a swift motion, he raised his sword and swung it at the ice in a strike so powerful it shook the cavern to its core.
Mu Hanyan and Chief Mu, who had been waiting for them outside, sensed the tremble and were immediately startled by it. "Heavens! What was that?!" Chief Mu exclaimed.
Mu Hanyan looked at the ground and muttered, "It came from below..."
"What the hell are they doing down there?" Chief Mu swallowed nervously.
