Chapter 478: Inner Turmoil

Returning to her room, devoid of that visual assault, Wang Yu Wei’s mind gradually calmed with the aid of the Supreme Emotionless Technique. Her flushed cheeks regained their usual cool composure.

Yet, the provocative images that flashed sporadically through her thoughts still caused slight tremors within her heart and a lingering heat in her body.

"Is this my emotional tribulation?"

"It seems far more difficult than imagined."

"And can I truly emerge from it?"

Wang Yu Wei murmured silently.

Her hand instinctively touched her still-warm cheek.

For the first time, doubt crept into her path of cultivation.

Previously, she had been supremely confident about immortal cultivation.

She believed her special physique placed her far above ordinary disciples.

She was certain she would reach lofty heights.

This self-assurance had been her constant companion since joining the Biquan True Sect.

It always spurred her onward.

But this very night, that confidence shattered completely.

A mere glance had nearly caused her to collapse on the spot.

It nearly made her fall into madness.

If she were to truly experience it firsthand, could she possibly emerge unscathed?

No wonder it’s said that of all things in the world, matters of the heart are the most perplexing.

Wang Yu Wei now felt the terrifying weight of this calamity.

"Ai."

She gazed at the bright moon suspended high in the night sky outside her window.

A soft, melancholy sigh escaped her.

Unknown to her how, the vivid scenes she had witnessed earlier suddenly flooded her vision once more.

Her newly calmed heart stirred again with agitation.

This time, however, she didn’t strive to banish the images.

Instead, she resolved to confront them directly.

If she couldn’t even endure the mere memory of these scenes, how would she face the trials of her burgeoning emotional tribulation?

Wang Yu Wei possessed a remarkable ability to adapt swiftly.

Though moments ago wracked with self-doubt, she immediately rallied herself.

She decided to treat this as a form of tempering.

The night slipped away quietly.

Wang Yu Wei remained motionless by the window, simply watching.

She watched until the morning light illuminated the world, reviving all things.

Her state of mind had significantly improved by then.

She could now regard those scenes that made her blood boil with a newfound inner tranquility.

She rose calmly.

Adjusting her garments slightly.

She cast a cleaning spell.

Only then did she step outside.

Inside the room, servants were performing their routine cleaning duties.

Coincidentally, Zhou Luo was emerging from the main building.

They met face to face just then.

"You’re up this early?" he inquired.

"You’re leaving for the Longfeng Mountain Range already?"

In truth, he had waited there deliberately.

His purpose? To see if she would confront him about last night.

"Fine."

To his surprise, Wang Yu Wei appeared utterly composed.

It was as if nothing had transpired the night before.

Zhou Luo’s eyes flickered, but he refrained from probing further.

Such matters required patience.

Gradual progress was essential.

Now that she seemed amenable to his intentions…

He was content to simply bide his time.

Soon, after having breakfast, the two of them left Qinyuan City, driving the flying boat, and flew towards the Longfeng Mountain range.

On the flying boat, Wang Yu Wei suddenly asked, "Zhou Luo, do you know the Supreme Emotionless Technique?"

"What kind of technique is this?" Zhou Luo already knew from Ye Qian, but at this moment, he still pretended to be puzzled.

Then Wang Yu Wei began to introduce this technique.

Roughly, it meant this technique could stabilize a person’s mind, protect against demonic hindrances, and thus achieve a smooth breakthrough in cultivation realms.

Zhou Luo already knew these details. What concerned him more was her choosing to discuss this technique at this critical juncture. Could she have decided?

Unfortunately, she only talked about this technique and added that this descent from the mountain was actually to experience the emotional tribulation and resolve the issues with the technique.

As for her feelings toward Zhou Luo, she didn’t mention anything, nor did she say they would overcome the emotional tribulation together.

She didn’t say, and Zhou Luo didn’t ask further. He just sighed, "This emotional tribulation sure isn’t easy."

"Not easy? Why do I feel like for you, it should be easy?" Wang Yu Wei looked into his deep starry eyes and said.

She was naturally referring to him taking so many wives and concubines.

Actually, last night, she had already resolved to confront Zhou Luo and reveal everything.

But after seeing certain mental images, she pondered all night. Though she could now face those scenes directly, she still couldn’t overcome her inner barrier immediately, so she didn’t bring it up earlier.

Zhou Luo smiled faintly, "That’s not an emotional tribulation; a true emotional tribulation is irresistible…"

Saying this, he instantly became quite talkative, aiming to slowly guide her, to make her face her own heart.

Because he clearly knew her emotional tribulation centered on him.

Perhaps due to shyness or other reasons, she hadn’t taken action yet.

Wang Yu Wei listened, and her steady heart stirred with excitement again. But even when they reached the Longfeng Mountain range, she didn’t mention it.

Nowadays, after experiencing that great battle, the Longfeng Mountain range had lost some fierceness and instead gained more tranquility.

The entire mountain range seemed to have quieted down, with few cultivators moving about inside.

Though the Qinyuan Sect had reopened the Longfeng Mountain range, after that battle, no one could guarantee the Chimagong Sect wouldn’t return.

Compared to the treasures hidden within, life was clearly more important.

Thus, the loss of cultivators in the Longfeng Mountain range was extremely serious.

The two stood on the flying boat, a gentle breeze brushing by. They gazed upon the vast expanse of mountain forests and trees, their expressions calm, showing no emotion.

The guidance along the way appeared not to have opened the heart of the person before him. Zhou Luo wasn’t anxious either and steered the flying boat towards the Longfeng Marketplace.

Now, with the Longfeng Mountain range rebuilding from ruins, despite losing many cultivators, this might be an opportunity for family industries to establish themselves here.

After all, many places in the Longfeng Mountain range remained unexplored. In the long run, once the situation stabilized completely, it would inevitably attract numerous cultivators to come.

Before that, if they could establish a foothold in the Longfeng Marketplace, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for family development.

This was a perfect chance to observe the marketplace’s current state and then decide.

Just as Zhou Luo was pondering and calculating…

Suddenly, a surge of alertness arose in his heart, and his heart beat fiercely.

He abruptly turned to look behind him. In his hand, unknown when, appeared a small tower entirely gilded.

Almost instantly, the small tower suddenly enlarged, with runes flickering above, light diffusing, majestic and immense, enveloping the two inside.

The gilded tower body burst forth with intense radiance. Surging power under Zhou Luo’s control poured out like a flood, making the entire small tower appear dazzlingly brilliant.

Boom——

The moment they entered the small tower, a world-shaking roar erupted, causing the entire tower to shake violently.

The intense radiance was instantly suppressed, and the power’s operation encountered obstacles.

Both people inside the tower turned pale.

Especially Wang Yu Wei. A flicker of panic showed in her beautiful eyes, her face slightly white. Feeling the power fluctuations outside and the intense might permeating the air, her voice carried a hint of shock.

"This is the attack of a Golden Core master!"
