Capítulo 1028: Chapter 15: Heart Tribulation
Ice Soul Cave Heaven, two figures appeared amidst the wind and snow.
The snow became a large cocoon, with Jiang Miaoyin sitting in the center like a lotus, her white clothes and black hair turned silver-white by the heavy snow.
Half a year passed.
Jiang Miaoyin was surrounded by an invisible Taoist Intent within ten feet.
The level of Taoist Intent she comprehended had reached Xie Xuanyi’s “Seed of Destruction,” but because she was trapped by the Heart Inquiry Tribulation… the Taoist Intent could not fully settle, leaving her stuck at this final bottleneck.
“Just one step away from the Mountain Peak.”
The Wangyou Island Master stood with his hands behind his back, watching this scene with a somewhat regretful tone.
Heroes are as numerous as carp in the river.
But how many can reach the Mountain Peak?
Condensing Dao, this step has troubled far too many, far too many.
“Some people are not held back by lack of aptitude, but because their obsessions run too deep.”
The Wangyou Island Master sighed gently, speaking earnestly, “The Heart Inquiry and the Ask Heart Tribulations are actually the greatest tribulations on the path of cultivation. For a cultivator wanting to reach the Mountain Peak, they must clarify one thing, what is this so-called ‘Great Dao’ cultivated for, and for whom?”
“…”
Xie Xuanyi’s expression was complex.
The Heart Inquiry and Ask Heart Tribulations had actually blocked him once too.
In a previous life, facing a chase spanning a thousand miles, he intended to forcefully ascend through intense battle, but in the end, he was trapped before the Heart Inquiry Tribulation and was forced to accept defeat, reluctantly jumping into the North Sea.
This life’s ascension is different from the previous one.
Once the Life Dao Realm is perfected, Xie Xuanyi might face the same issue again.
Condensing Dao, Condensing Dao.
The two words truly weigh a thousand tons.
“If I’m not mistaken, your Junior Sister Jiang cannot ascend… must have something to do with you, right?”
The Wangyou Island Master rubbed his chin, examining Jiang Miaoyin’s face while teasingly speaking.
The frost surrounded them.
On that breathtakingly beautiful woman’s face, two tear streaks were clearly visible.
Now, everyone knows of Chen Jingxuan and Tang Fengshu’s love story… but a decade ago, the rumors of Xie Xuanyi and Jiang Miaoyin as a “golden couple” were even more famous. Everyone assumes Xie Xuanyi and Jiang Miaoyin are “Dao Companions,” and even if not now, they surely will be in the future.
“This Heart Inquiry Tribulation… is indeed related to me.”
Xie Xuanyi sighed softly.
“Well, you can’t really be blamed. If I were your junior sister, I might also be ‘trapped by emotion.'”
The Wangyou Island Master sized up the young man beside him, unable to resist a teasing tone.
Judging solely by facial features and eyes, Xie Xuanyi was already deemed perfect… across two realms, only Cui Zhen could slightly surpass him.
Nowadays, living life anew, with the Undying Spring’s support, Xie Xuanyi was imbued with a transcendent, celestial aura.
Perfect appearance, unparalleled swordsmanship, in a high position.
Which woman would not be moved by such a man?
“Hmm…”
After the playful remark, the Wangyou Island Master suddenly murmured quietly, his expression shifting from teasing to serious.
He took a gentle step, directly entering the cocoon’s range.
Observing Jiang Miaoyin’s Divine Soul condition closely, across several feet.
Crackle!
Countless wind and snow formed by Taoist Intent fell towards the Wangyou Island Master, covering this Yang God Warrior with a layer of frost instantly.
“Senior?”
Xie Xuanyi followed closely, entering the cocoon, then cautiously conveyed his thoughts, inquiring about the situation.
He had visited numerous times over the past half-year.
Jiang Miaoyin’s Divine Soul was rather calm, without any disorder.
Swish!
The Wangyou Island Master stared at Jiang Miaoyin for quite a while, then stretched out his hand, grabbing Xie Xuanyi’s shoulder, instantly moving them several miles away.
“Boy, your junior sister’s Divine Soul has been like this for half a year? Do you have soul scroll records?”
The Wangyou Island Master spoke with a furrowed brow, his expression quite grave.
“Soul scroll… yes.”
Xie Xuanyi pondered briefly, summoned a strand of Sword Qi, and ignited it with Divine Thought.
The golden Sword Qi exploded above the Ice Soul Cave Heaven like fireworks, and in the next moment, a long ridge emerged in the distant snow, the Snow Demon arriving by Escape Skill, his expression tense, first bowing to Xie Xuanyi, then bowing repeatedly to the Wangyou Island Master.
Uncertain of what major event occurred today, both Yang God masters arrived together.
“Soul scroll.”
Xie Xuanyi extended his hand, the Snow Demon quickly fetched a Golden Scroll from his bosom.
The Wangyou Island Master took it, infusing it with Divine Thought.
The Snow Demon rubbed his hands, showing servile intent to Xie Xuanyi, prepared to leave if there were no further orders… the mere Yang God pressure emanating from the Wangyou Island Master made him unsteady.
Xie Xuanyi cast him a glance, indicating he should stay.
A moment later, after reviewing the soul scroll, the Wangyou Island Master turned his gaze toward the Snow Demon, asking deeply, “Recently… have there been any abnormalities in this cave heaven?”
“Abnormality?”
The Snow Demon shook his head promptly, “Since the Mountain Master went into seclusion, only the formation was set within a hundred-foot radius… if you ask about abnormalities, it’s just that within the Great Array, the wind and snow have increased slightly.”
The Ice Soul Cave Heaven is vast, spanning dozens of miles.
Enhanced wind and snow within a hundred feet are not significant.
Hearing this, Xie Xuanyi fell into contemplation… intensified wind and snow within the Great Array would simply be due to the influence of the Great Dao Intent.
Logically, Jiang Miaoyin’s state should gradually stabilize, and the Taoist Intent emanating from her should be more stable.
With her Yin God Peak strength, if immersed in “Heart Inquiry Tribulation” within the veil of the Great Dao Intent, abnormalities would exceed a hundred-foot anomaly…
If she could successfully Condense Dao.
Not just the Ice Soul Cave Heaven, the entire Thirty-three Cave Heavens would experience heavenly abnormalities.
“You… may leave.”
The Wangyou Island Master kept a stern face, waved his sleeve.
Feeling liberated, the Snow Demon quickly departed, not daring to make any noise.
Within the vast snow of Ice Soul Cave Heaven, only two remained.
“Senior, what is going on?”
Xie Xuanyi felt slightly uneasy within.
“Before departing, my wife specifically cautioned, this journey to the Sword Palace… may not be smooth.”
The Wangyou Island Master smiled bitterly, gazing at Jiang Miaoyin’s cocoon, gently saying, “I didn’t understand her meaning then, but now it makes sense.”
Pausing slightly.
The Wangyou Island Master did not hold back, stated with seriousness, “If I’m not mistaken, your junior sister… she should not just be immersed in ‘Heart Inquiry Tribulation.’
“What… do you mean?”
Xie Xuanyi was taken aback.
“Initially during her seclusion, she wept profusely. At that time, she should have been trapped in ‘Ask Heart Tribulation,’ now her emotions have stabilized, if she breaks free from ‘Heart Inquiry,’ she should usher in Condensing Dao.”
The Wangyou Island Master sighed, “Yet this Ice Soul Cave Heaven has not birthed any abnormalities… indicates Jiang Miaoyin is still one step away from Condensing Dao.”
Neither in the Heart Inquiry state.
Nor having begun Condensing Dao.
This prolonged seclusion…
Two words suddenly erupted in Xie Xuanyi’s mind.
“Divine Travel.”
The Wangyou Island Master solemnly stated, “If I’m not mistaken, she should currently be in a ‘Divine Travel’ state.”
