Chapter 477: The Opportunity for Breakthrough

Tonight, the moon was exceptionally full. Its pure silver-white radiance fell from the sky, casting large patches of shimmering silver light on the ground.

The moonlight also fell upon Wang Yu Wei’s pristine white gown. It caused her fair, delicate skin to glow with a crystalline radiance, setting off her entire figure as holy and noble, as moving as a fairy from the Moon Palace.

A gentle night breeze passed by, lifting a corner of her gown to reveal a smooth calf, perfectly shaped without a trace of excess fat.

The breeze also lifted her lovely dark tresses, the strands flying wildly, mirroring her own extremely unsettled internal state.

Regarding the emotional tribulation, Wang Yu Wei naturally had some understanding.

Before coming here, she had known she would undoubtedly need to undergo matters pertaining to men and women.

When it came to emotions, she must confront them directly and not evade.

For once she evaded, shadows would cloud her heart.

And the best way to confront them was to engage fully, just like understanding human fates; only by stepping into the emotion could you emerge from it.

Previously, she had been tangled in uncertainty and hesitation.

But now, in this moment, she realized that if she did not take this step, she feared that even if she eventually stepped into the Golden Core stage, her state of mind would not be flawless. In that case, there was a high likelihood she would only become the lowest kind of fake golden core master.

That was not what she pursued.

Having pondered this far, her beautiful eyes held a measure of resolve.

She couldn’t help but glance towards the main building nearby.

The pure moonlight stained the entire pavilion with a layer of white light, making it appear like a dream.

"I have to go and speak with him clearly."

Wang Yu Wei was an extremely decisive person. Realizing she must resolve this emotional tribulation, she planned to speak to Zhou Luo face-to-face and understand his wishes.

She drifted down gracefully, arriving before the main building.

The doors to the great hall were open. Following her memory, she ascended the wooden staircase to the second floor.

"Hmm?"

As soon as she stepped onto the second floor, a peculiar sound reached Wang Yu Wei’s ears.

The sound seemed both resentful and sorrowful, both weeping and beseeching, enchanting and alluring, filling listeners with a vague sense of uncertainty.

Hearing this sound, Wang Yu Wei momentarily stiffened. An expression of surprise flashed across her breathtakingly beautiful face, and her heart suddenly began to race furiously.

Her originally calm inner state erupted into a storm of emotions.

"What… what sound is that?" she muttered within her mind.

In truth, while she claimed it was unknown, the seed of suspicion was already planted. Her mind involuntarily conjured images suggestive of a certain intimate activity.

This made her heart pound fiercely against her chest.

She halted her steps, staring towards an occupied, brightly lit room within the otherwise quiet corridor. Complex emotion filled her beautiful eyes.

Under these circumstances, she had roughly guessed what was happening inside that room. She also realized that her supposed decisiveness now seemed somewhat rash.

With this thought, she prepared to turn and leave.

But perhaps captivated by that soul-stirring, almost entrancing sound, she froze where she stood, unable to truly depart. Instead, a wave of excitement surged within her core, a thrilling sensation that stirred her deeply.

As if guided by some unseen compulsion, she quietly extended her mental strength toward the brightly lit room.

There, within the room, were Zhou Luo and Ye Qian.

The instant Wang Yu Wei saw the two, it was as if she had been struck by lightning. A deep blush instantly stained her exquisitely flawless face. Her small lips parted slightly as she was plunged into overwhelming shock.

This single glance delivered an intense, visceral impact to Wang Yu Wei.

The tranquility within her erupted violently at that very moment, like water breaching a dyke, flooding uncontrollably, impossible to contain.

In an instant, her heart of the path trembled slightly; for the first time, she experienced a feeling of total mental collapse.

To tell the truth, ever since she began practicing the Supreme Emotionless Technique, she had been able to pursue cultivation with single-minded focus, untroubled by worldly matters.

Even after witnessing all the various aspects of worldly life this past year, her heart remained as still as water, rarely stirred by any fluctuations.

But after all, she herself had never experienced matters between men and women. Though later, for her emotional tribulation, she had deliberately sought out books on the subject and somewhat knew of such things.

Yet, knowing wasn’t the same as experiencing.

At this moment, she was really little different from pure, untouched paper. How could she have ever witnessed such a scene?

What’s more, the spectacle unfolding inside the room seemed different from those described in ancient texts—far more stimulating, shocking, and passionately excessive.

In the quiet corridor, Wang Yu Wei’s jade-like skin shimmered, intermingling with the moonlight filtering through the windows. A blush painted her flawless visage as tumultuous waves surged within her heart, leaving her bewildered and utterly at a loss.

She bit her lip and attempted to circulate the Supreme Emotionless Technique to calm her surging feelings.

As she frantically drove the technique, the tempestuous tides within her gradually began to ebb.

In the midst of this process, Wang Yu Wei was astonished to discover that the technique, which previously flowed with hardship, now seemed to operate unimpeded, without the slightest obstacle—a striking contrast to before.

She suddenly realized what the key to her breakthrough had been.

Indeed, only by entering emotion could one understand emotion, and ultimately break free from it.

Over in the room, Zhou Luo caught sight of Wang Yu Wei standing frozen in place. A faint smile touched the corner of his lips.

In truth, the moment she had entered the main house, his sharp senses had already detected her presence.

This made him realize that she was finally taking action. It also presented a perfect opportunity to discern her true designs.

So, he pretended not to see her and continued his dual cultivation with Ye Qian.

Then, he saw her standing in the corridor, inevitably witnessing the scene within the room.

His experiences over the past year had solidified Zhou Luo’s conviction that Wang Yu Wei’s journey through mortal emotions was anything but ordinary.

He could clearly sense that when confronting numerous events, even he himself wouldn’t escape fluctuations in his mental state, inevitable ripples forming.

And yet, she remained motionless, seemingly unaffected by any of it.

He had inquired previously with Ye Qian about this.

Later, he found out that Wang Yu Wei was likely practicing a technique known as the Supreme Emotionless Technique, hence her pervasive calm and immunity to worldly troubles.

After learning this, Zhou Luo eventually realized:

Her trial likely revolved around severing emotions and extinguishing desires. That’s why she focused her attention on him.

Though he didn’t know why this woman harbored emotions towards him, since that was the case, he naturally wouldn’t let pass the opportunity to perform dual cultivation with her.

Little did he expect, her true design really did concern him—his very person.

The realization filled Zhou Luo with immense happiness.

"What a coincidence!"

So, he resolved to capitalize on the moment to deliver an even greater visual impact on her, flinging open the door to a whole new world for this woman.

"Be good!"

Gazing down at his wife’s delicate, charming face, Zhou Luo raised his hand and delivered a crisp slap, resuming his fervent efforts.

Meanwhile, out in the corridor, Wang Yu Wei stood transfixed. She watched as the couple grew increasingly bold, witnessed scenes entirely unknown to her, and felt her mind profoundly shaken once more.

She had no choice but to continue circulating the Supreme Emotionless Technique. Simultaneously, she became acutely aware that if she lingered any longer, she would likely be broken beyond repair.

Therefore, she decisively turned around and fled from the main house as if escaping…
