Chapter 467: Testing One’s Mind in the Mundane World

The Supreme Emotionless Technique was a method created by the Biquan True Sect specifically for certain special disciples. This technique was almost the same as dual cultivation techniques; both could aid cultivators in their immortal cultivation.

Just like the various requirements of techniques like The Fusion of Dragon and Phoenix Technique or the Technique of the Phoenix and the Luan, the Supreme Emotionless Technique also had its own diverse cultivation prerequisites.

Throughout her long cultivation career, Wang Yu Wei had been pondering this method. She had been undergoing Closed-Door Training and diligently practicing according to the requirements, rarely setting foot in the mundane world.

In fact, she had once grasped her master’s words and understood that to extinguish emotion, one must first possess it.

This was why she had acted so ruthlessly in framing Ye Qian back then.

Whether venturing out for experience or cultivating within the sect, she had consistently strived to shed feelings of camaraderie, friendship, and even familial bonds. She rarely contacted her own clan or her mother.

Except for Zhou Luo.

Because the debt for saving her life absolutely could not be forgotten; forgetting it would corrupt her heart of the path.

Originally, she had thought this was the cause for the weakening power of her Supreme Emotionless Technique.

Therefore, after helping Zhou Luo frame Ye Qian, she believed this debt was fully repaid, and she would no longer be bound by emotion.

Yet unexpectedly, the problems with the Supreme Emotionless Technique persisted.

Unable to find the root cause despite deep contemplation, she had come to seek her master’s guidance.

"Master, this disciple does not understand," she said honestly.

She did not know what lingering emotion still existed within her heart that needed discarding.

The next sentence from her master made her heart tremble.

"Of all matters in the world, the love between man and woman is the hardest to resolve. Since you have never even experienced it, how can you achieve emotionlessness and heartlessness?"

Her master’s words stirred ripples in Wang Yu Wei’s previously calm heart. An expression of surprise surfaced on her face.

"Master, does the sect rule not forbid us from contact with men?" she asked reflexively.

The Biquan True Sect imposed very strict discipline on its disciples. Back then, Ye Qian had been expelled from the sect without mercy precisely due to her loss of virginity.

Why then, would her master suggest she actively seek contact with men?

Wasn’t this a violation of the sect rules?

"The sect rules exist to ensure disciples do not become entangled by affairs of the heart, allowing them to focus entirely on the Dao,"

"Once immersed in relations between men and women, they inevitably become trapped, unable to recover."

"You cultivate the Supreme Emotionless Technique. Naturally, you have the means to shield yourself from the entanglements of relations with the opposite sex."

"Only by taking this step can your mental state reach true completion. The choice of how to proceed, however, rests entirely with you."

Being a technique of an Immortal Sect, the Supreme Emotionless Technique was not suitable for every disciple; it depended on individual constitutions.

Someone like Ye Qian could not cultivate it. Thus, after her loss of virginity, she naturally lost the sect’s protection.

Wang Yu Wei, however, was different. She cultivated the Supreme Emotionless Technique. Since its aim was to forget emotion, she naturally would not be bound by feelings.

Once she truly detached herself from relationships with the opposite sex, her mental state would achieve completion, and breaking through to the Golden Core stage would be effortless.

This was the concept known as "Tempering the mind through worldly passion".

Wang Yu Wei felt a faint stirring within her.

According to her master, she practiced the Supreme Emotionless Technique, so even engaging in relationships with the opposite sex would not violate the sect rules.

But if she became trapped in it, she feared she might still be abandoned by the sect.

This was a cultivation practice for herself.

Whether she could get through it depended entirely on her own capability.

Wang Yu Wei understood clearly in her heart and asked no more questions. She slowly bowed and said, "Your disciple understands, master, please take care."

Then she turned and left. A long rainbow appeared beneath her feet, and as she stepped on it, she vanished from the spot.

Returning to her own peak, she sat in the great hall, carefully recalling what her master had said.

She looked up at the deep blue sky, planning out her heart-refinement journey.

Matters of love and romance might sound simple, but truly putting them into practice was not easy at all.

Especially since one could not fake in such matters.

Emotions could not go against one’s true heart; liking and disliking were easily distinguishable.

When she was in her twenties, she had been brought to the Biquan True Sect, and she only had interactions with women there; men were almost nonexistent.

No, there was one.

A figure suddenly emerged in Wang Yu Wei’s mind.

"Zhou Luo!"

When she needed to find a man, the first person she thought of was him.

Especially since he had once saved her life and owed her a debt of gratitude.

The last time she met him, she observed that his strength had not stagnated; in fact, it had even grown.

Once, she got to know him through events involving her mother; later, they studied together for a year at the Qinyuan Sect; and ultimately, they traveled out to seek clues about the Dragon Blood Grass, enduring numerous experiences along the way.

That whole journey had now become her memory, and Zhou Luo himself did not repulse her; instead, she considered him outstanding in every way.

Particularly, he was clever in mind and virtuous in character.

At that thought, a subtle ripple suddenly stirred in Wang Yu Wei’s calm heart, and she actually felt a flutter of emotion.

If it was Zhou Luo, it might just be acceptable.

Wang Yu Wei immediately settled on the candidate in her heart.

Realizing that her breakthrough opportunity rested with Zhou Luo, requiring her to undergo an emotional tribulation with him, her once serene and still heart suddenly felt chaotic and bewildered.

She had spent decades in closed-door training cultivating, never considering matters of emotion and understanding little about them.

The last time she was involved was when her family intended for her to form a partnership with an Immortal Sect disciple, so she dressed up very beautifully.

At that time, she had still been pressured by her family and unable to control her Fate.

Now, circumstances had shifted, and she faced this challenge again.

Especially after practicing the Supreme Emotionless Technique, her heart had become even more detached, rarely experiencing emotional upheavals.

"How could I go through an emotional tribulation with him?"

Wang Yu Wei simply felt at a loss, not knowing where to begin.

However, soon a mysterious power suddenly flowed through her heart. With the aid of the Supreme Emotionless Technique, her heart gradually grew calm.

"Right now, the chance is before my eyes; if I hesitate, I might never reach the Golden Core stage in this life."

At that moment, her heart of the Path was clear, and her gaze turned firm.

Back when her master first told her about this technique, she had chosen this path without a second thought.

Although she knew it would cause her emotions to fade gradually.

But this was her opportunity for becoming an immortal, so she courageously chose to take this road.

Naturally, she would not abandon it now.

Moreover, since Zhou Luo had many wives and concubines, he likely understood matters of romance far better, and he was an old acquaintance.

He might even have his own unique insights on this subject; if he could assist her when the time came, that would be best.

The more she pondered, the more Wang Yu Wei felt she needed to meet him once.

Only by meeting him could she confirm her choice.

Considering all this, she discarded her hesitation and got up immediately, starting to pack her belongings.

She planned to rest for a period to consolidate her cultivation, then leave the Biquan True Sect for the mortal world to refine her heart.

Wang Yu Wei walked out of the hall, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds, muttering to herself.

"I hope, Zhou Luo, you can give me a pleasant surprise!"
