Flashback!

When Xia Qingyue closed her eyes, she found herself in a place that was full of Ice. Looking around, Xia Qingyue walked in a direction and when she reached the end, she saw a Waterfall.

Her expression changed as everything around the water was made of Ice and she wondered how the waterfall could exist in this place.

Just as she was about to closer to the Waterfall, she saw a figure coming out of the waterfall, and looking at the figure, her expression changed.

It was because the figure looked exactly similar to her, she had no expression on her face. Xia Qingyue felt that she was looking at a wall as she looked at her counterpart who seemed to have no emotions in her.

"Who are you?" Xia Qingyue asked, even though she had an inkling that she was her Heart Demon, she wanted to be sure and then deal with her.

"I am you, the part of you that you want to suppress."

"Huh? Which part?"

"The part of you that you want to suppress."

"Huh?"

"The part of you that you want to suppress."

"The part of you that you want to suppress."

"The part of you that you want to suppress."

The figure kept on speaking and hearing this, Xia Qingyue's expression changed and she walked to her. When they were a few inches away from each other, Xia Qingyue stopped and said, "So you are the Heart Demon, or I should say, something akin to the spirit of the Heart of Snow Glazed Glass."

"The part of you that you want to suppress."

"Heh! Single-minded emotionless freak that only focuses on cultivation. So this is how I would have become if I hadn't met him." Xia Qingyue said with disdain in her voice and when she said 'him', she saw the figure tremble.

A wide smile appeared on her face and Xia Qingyue said, "So even you aren't unaffected by his charm? Haha! I should have expected this. After all, I only focused everything on him and worked for him. He is the reason why this Heart woke up, right?"

The figure stopped speaking as Xia Qingyue said this, and seeing this, Xia Qingyue moved her face closer to her and whispered.

"Why are you resisting so much? Why not just surrender yourself and become a part of me, instead of me dominating and suppressing you like a tool? I can see that you are not the spirit but a part of my subconscious that has been affected by me."

"So, why are you trying to resist and get controlled by the Heart? This way, not only we will get everything, but we won't have to suffer any side effects."

"The Heart of Snow Glazed give a special type of mind, right? But I don't need it. It makes you a scared existence that transcends the world, but I don't need to become one. It gives you a speed of growth unmatched by others, I don't need it. After all, even without this heart, I lost to him even though he was in lower cultivation."

"So, My Dear Heart, what are you so proud about? Why are you resisting so much? Do you not understand that I will remain the same without you but without me, you are nothing."

"Just stop resisting and join me, do you understand? You are nothing to me and the only reason I bothered is because I don't him to be worried about me every time, even though I am happy at it."

Xia Qingyue whispered everything like a Devil would whisper to tempt others. While all this was happening, the figure remained silent, but the more Xia Qingyue spoke, the more it started to tremble.

At the end, a wide smirk appeared on the figure's emotionless face, and she said, "Hehe! You are right, instead of thinking about you, it's better to think about it. Instead of joining, I will force you to join me."

"I will become Xia Qingyue and you will become a part of me, and then I will be the one who will receive his affection instead of you. He will become my focus and my world."

Xia Qingyue's expression changed, and she inwardly laughed at the foolish dream of the figure.

'Half of the plan has worked, now that I have broken it and let her feel 'emotions', I just need to suppress it and then merge with it.'

Xia Qingyue thought of this and then she looked at the figure and said, "You want to become me? Then defeat me! If you did, then this body is yours but if I won, you would become a part of me, Do you understand?"

"Hehe! You will lose! This is my world, and I am the Dominion here!" The figure said and Xia Qingyue raised her brows as she heard this.

"So original!" She muttered and an Ice Sword appeared in her hand. Without giving any time to the figure, Xia Qingyue rushed at the figure and slashed at her.

The sword was blocked with an Ice Block appearing in the figure, but Xia Qingyue didn't panic, and she jumped and looked down at the figure, she raised her hand as several Icicles appeared behind her and she aimed them at her.

The figure created an Ice dome around her to guard herself and seeing this, Xia Qingyue grinned and said, "Serene and Calm: Flowing Water Art."

This art she created when she was in enlightenment, and she controlled all the water flowing in the waterfall and attacked the Ice Dome.

The Water from the waterfall passed through the Ice Block and seeing this, the figure's expression changed, and she didn't understand how it happened.

She flew away in the sky, and this was noticed by Xia Qingyue, who controlled the water, and a Water Dragon was formed. The Dragon followed the figure, and while this happened, Xia Qingyue went to the other side of Waterfall and looked at the cave.

"Haha! I was expecting something when she appeared from the cave, but I didn't expect I would see it here."

At the center of the cave, Xia Qingyue saw a Heart made of Snow and it looked like a Glass that reflected everything. Seeing this, she went in front of the Heart and saw her image in it.

The image kept on changing and sometimes she had a cold look on her face, something emotional, and sometimes emotionless.

Seeing this, Xia Qingyue shook her head and said, "You won't dictate how I live, now you will show how I am. Only I can decide who I am and how I will live."

Saying this, Xia Qingyue created a Sword and as he slashed at the Mirror, she heard a shriek.

"NOOOOOO"

Hearing this, she looked behind and saw the figure starting to disappear and before it could, she appeared in front of it and said, "Do you think I will let you escape? I said you will merge with me so you will."

The figure was frozen as she said, and the ice then started to shrink, and it formed a Bead made of Soul Essence.

Looking at the bead, Xia Qingyue looked back and in the broken glass like Ice, she saw her reflection in which she sat with Xiao Xianzhi and they both had a smile on their face.

Her expression changed as she saw herself holding something in her hand and its figure resembled that of a child.

"Heh! I will see when the time will come." Xia Qingyue said as she ate the bead and closed her eyes, she sat on the place and started to meditate.

{Flashback ended}

"It was easy! I just had to tempt the Inner Demon and make it lose focus on what it had come for. Then I made a bet to further infuriate it and suppress it." Xia Qingyue said, and Xiao Xianzhi laughed.

After all, usually, it is the Inner Demon that tempts the person and instead of this, she tempts the Inner Demon.

"You have been in seclusion for a month and in this month, Ling'er took control of everything. Even I didn't expect her to be this fast and it happened without our help." Xiao Xianzhi and Xia Qingyue smiled at this and said, "Hehe! She must have learnt everything in Azure Continent."

"Well, it's good for her and now we can spend the remaining time together and when you break through to Divine Realm, everyone will leave."

Xiao Xianzhi's expression changed as he heard this and scratching his head, he said, "About that! Well, some stuff happened, and I don't think I will be able to break through to Divine Realm in three months."

"Huh? What happened?" Xia Qingyue asked with a stunned look on her face as she heard this, and Xiao Xianzhi said, "Uh! Well, I was experimenting with my Inner world, and it gave birth to a World Seed."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I mean what I said, the Inner world gave birth to a World Seed and now all the Profound Energy I am absorbing is being absorbed by the Sprout. No, it's not all but 99%."

"Though I could break through with the 1% of the energy that is stored in Veins, my foundation would become unstable and all the work I had done in past would be wasted. So, I would rather not waste and wait for some time and try to speed up the process."

"How will you speed up the process?"

"Absorbing rare herbs, and treasures in the inner world, or getting a large of Profound Energy. Because of this, I would not break through but the plan for Divine Realms isn't cancelled."

"After all, at that place, I can just ask Master to prepare things for my Inner World and when the World seed will grow and start producing the Energy on its own, I won't have to worry about it."

"How sure you are about this?" Xia Qingyue asked as she heard, and it was her first-time hearing something like.

Hearing her, Xiao Xianzhi didn't say anything as all of it was just his speculation from the things he knew about. Seeing this, Xia Qingyue's expression changed, and she said, "Let's go to the Teacher, maybe she will know something about it."

"Nope, I don't think so! The concept of a World Tree doesn't exist in the world, so I don't think they will know about this. Besides, Only Creation Gods could have something like Inner World and the only reason why I got one is because of your Physique."

Xia Qingyue narrowed her eyes as she heard this and then she asked, "Zhi'er, what did you mean by this world? Do you know other worlds too?"

Xiao Xianzhi smiled as he heard this and said, "When the time comes, I will tell you everything! Before that, it is meaningless to know about it."
