*Nine Heavens, Phoenix Heaven, 6th Floor*

At that moment, a black gate appeared out of nowhere without any distortions in the space or any sign of Qi usage, causing Xiao Hua to heighten her vigilance. She was ready to engage in battle at any moment, as the intentions of the person on the other side of the gate were unknown.

"... " - Xiao Hua stared at the gate cautiously, with her Qi enveloping her and a sword with a terrifying aura in her hand, prepared to use the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike at any moment to deal with the other person if they had malicious intent.

But when the other person emerged from the gate, Xiao Hua could only stare at him in shock.

Although Yuan's previously confident and strong appearance had vanished, leaving him looking sick and frail, Xiao Hua easily recognized him, especially given the bond they shared.

"Brother Yuan!!" - Xiao Hua exclaimed anxiously and quickly rushed to help Yuan, worried for him, especially given how weak and frail he appeared.

"Xiao Hua..." - Yuan smiled faintly, allowing Xiao Hua to help him stand. Although she was only as tall as his chest, she was strong enough to support him easily - "Thank you."

"Are you okay, Brother Yuan?" - Xiao Hua asked with concern, not daring to send her Qi into Yuan's body for fear of harming him in his current state.

"I'm fine," - Yuan nodded and gestured with his trembling hand to a nearby chair - "Can you help me sit down?"

"Um..." - Xiao Hua nodded and promptly assisted Yuan to the chair, helping him sit down carefully to avoid causing him any harm.

"Thank you, Xiao Hua," - Yuan smiled, gently patting Xiao Hua on the head, happy that she was there.

At that moment, Yuan saw a white, translucent sphere floating calmly in the air, moving towards him. This sphere was part of his soul that had been in Nine Heavens.

"Please step back a little, Xiao Hua," - Yuan said, as he was unsure of what might happen when his soul was fully restored and feared harming Xiao Hua - "And use your power to block everything happening around me."

"Okay..." - Although Xiao Hua was puzzled, she didn't hesitate to do as Yuan instructed, using all her strength to block all sounds, light, and other distractions from leaving the room, ensuring no one could spy on what was happening inside.

"..." - After securing the room, Xiao Hua looked at Yuan with curiosity, clearly intrigued by what was happening, given the strangeness of Yuan's previous disappearance and his reappearance through the gate.

Although Yuan noticed Xiao Hua's gaze, he said nothing and focused on the translucent sphere that entered his chest, feeling a surge of information and power coursing through his body.

Yuan quickly felt his body growing stronger and a boundless stream of Qi flowing through him as if his body were a parched desert receiving water.

Yuan felt rejuvenated all over and felt his strength returning. His cultivation soon rose to the 5th Spirit Warrior level, the flow of Qi ceased, and his condition stabilized, his pallor and weak aura disappearing.

"Ah~..." - Yuan stared at the system notification and sighed with relief, feeling somewhat anxious about facing the Heavenly Tribulation again. He had barely survived last time and wasn't prepared to face it again, at least not right now.

"Brother Yuan, are you okay?" - Xiao Hua asked anxiously upon seeing Yuan return to his usual self, as what had happened earlier was extremely strange.

"I'm fine," - Yuan smiled and nodded toward Xiao Hua - "I hope you won't ask anything now; I'll tell you everything when the time is right."

Yuan was aware of the curse used by the Celestial Emperor, which would cause Xiao Hua to forget what had just happened, so he didn't bother explaining and didn't want to go into detail.

"Okay..." - Despite her confusion, Xiao Hua simply nodded and stopped pursuing the matter, as Yuan was reluctant to discuss it.

As for the Celestial Emperor's curse, it no longer affected her, as the System protected Yuan and those connected to him, like Xiao Hua and Feng Yuxiang, so there was no need to worry about the curse.

Yuan was unaware of this, but he didn't care much even if he did, as he was more interested in drinking the Translucent Dew of Flawlessness and didn't hesitate to take it out and swallow it in one gulp.

As soon as Yuan drank the Translucent Dew of Flawlessness, all the pores in his body opened up and began to expel a disgusting black substance.

"..." - Upon seeing this, Yuan didn't hesitate to use the Ten Thousand Beast Flame to incinerate the substance completely, leaving no trace or foul smell.

The Ten Thousand Beast Flame is a Heavenly Flame obtained from the Plot Master due to Yu Rou, and this was the first time Yuan used it. He had to admit that it was extremely powerful.
