155: The Secret Realm of the Seven Emotions?

"Good!" Nangong Ruoxue quickly nodded upon hearing Nangong Yu's words.

Nangong Yu took out a piece of Spirit Beast meat, and flames rose from his hand, yet it was merely a seventh-grade Pill Fire, suppressed!

However, Nangong Ruoxue was not surprised to see the Pill Fire, which only a Cultivator with a Fire Spiritual Root could condense.

This was because Nangong Yu had once explained that the Spiritual Root he obtained through Heaven-Defying fate change possessed multiple attributes, including the fire attribute.

Watching Nangong Yu begin to roast the meat, Nangong Ruoxue couldn't help but salivate.

Having traveled extensively for the past six years, the two had tasted many delicacies. Nangong Yu had unexpectedly mastered incredibly impressive culinary skills without a teacher.

It could be said that after tasting Nangong Yu's delicious dishes, Nangong Ruoxue genuinely couldn't stomach the food in inns and restaurants anymore.

Therefore, every time Nangong Yu cooked, Nangong Ruoxue would be filled with anticipation.

Just then, a loud boom echoed in the distance, and a towering pillar of light shot up into the sky.

This scene startled both Nangong Yu and Nangong Ruoxue, who couldn't help but look over.

"Xiaoyu, it's deep within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. Looking at this momentum, either a supreme treasure or a Secret Realm has appeared. Should we go check it out?"

Nangong Ruoxue's expression was slightly serious, but her gaze was fixed on the roasted meat in Nangong Yu's hand, seemingly unconcerned by the commotion over there.

Nangong Yu looked in that direction, and a tremor ran through his heart, as if something was drawing him there.

That feeling was somewhat similar to when the Dao Yan Evil Eye detected Su Xingmeng.

However, when he tried to use his Dao Yan Evil Eye to peek, he found he couldn't.

It seemed there was something concealing it, preventing even him, a Great Saint Realm Cultivator, from peering through with his Dao Yan Evil Eye.

The only thing he could confirm was that something very important to him was over there, but he didn't know what it was specifically.

A person?

An item?

Unknown!

Ultimately, his strength was still too low!

Nangong Yu sighed inwardly, then his Dao Yan Evil Eye rotated again, obtaining the information he sought, before he continued roasting the meat.

He looked at Nangong Ruoxue and said, "Sister Xue, let's go take a look later. I just feel like something over there is attracting me!"

Hearing this, Nangong Ruoxue was slightly startled. Nangong Yu had never said such a thing before. Could there really be something important to Nangong Yu over there?

Thinking of this, she quickly said, "Since that's the case, let's go now!"

But Nangong Yu roasted the meat unhurriedly, smiling, "Sister Xue, don't rush. My intuition tells me it's not time yet!"

Just now, he had used his Dao Yan Evil Eye to glimpse the heavenly secrets and discovered that a Secret Realm was about to open over there. Perhaps what he sought was within that Secret Realm.

However, the Secret Realm still needed about half a month to open!

"Oh? Is that so?"

Nangong Ruoxue looked surprised, but then suddenly thought of something and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Xiaoyu, I just thought of something. Perhaps I've guessed the reason for that commotion."

"Oh?" Nangong Yu looked at her in surprise, "What did Sister Xue think of?"

Nangong Ruoxue smiled faintly and said, "When I was studying in the Supervision Office, Instructor Zhang once inadvertently mentioned that there is a Secret Realm in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains called the Seven Emotions Secret Realm!"

"This Secret Realm opens once every hundred years, and only Cultivators from the Deity Transformation Realm to the Calamity Destruction Realm can enter. It is a special trial-based Secret Realm. Those who pass the Seven Emotions Trial will receive treasures and Opportunities, and their Dao Heart will also be enhanced."

"Counting the time, this anomaly is most likely the premonition of the Seven Emotions Secret Realm opening."

Hearing this, Nangong Yu nodded slightly, which was similar to the information he had seen with his Dao Yan Evil Eye.

It was indeed the Seven Emotions Secret Realm!

It primarily consisted of illusions, with seven emotions serving as seven trials, testing one's inner heart.

Nangong Yu smiled and said, "Perhaps what's attracting me is inside this Secret Realm. After all, as soon as this anomaly appeared, I felt something drawing me, so it's hard to believe it's not in this Secret Realm."

"Perhaps!"

Nangong Ruoxue nodded and said, "I'll go with you to check it out later. If it really is the Seven Emotions Secret Realm, I'm afraid only you can enter."

But as she said this, she grew a little worried, "Or, for your safety, it might be better not to go in!"

"Don't worry, Sister Xue, I won't joke with my life," Nangong Yu smiled faintly, "And didn't you say, Sister Xue? This is a Seven Emotions Trial, so it shouldn't be too dangerous!"

Nangong Ruoxue's face showed concern, "Xiaoyu, you don't understand. It's precisely these Seven Emotions Trials that are most dangerous. One wrong step and you could sink into them, unable to escape disaster."

Nangong Yu, however, smiled faintly, "Don't worry, if it really is a Seven Emotions Trial, then it poses no threat to me."

"Oh? Xiaoyu is that confident?" Nangong Ruoxue asked, somewhat surprised.

Nangong Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, with the bond I share with Mother and Sister Xue, the Seven Emotions Trial poses no threat to me."

Nangong Ruoxue, however, frowned and worried, "That's not necessarily true. What if your trial is set up using us for the Seven Emotions Trial?"

Nangong Yu was slightly startled, then laughed, "What's real can't be faked, and what's fake can't be real. As long as I firmly believe everything inside is fake, then it won't become real!"

Hearing this, Nangong Ruoxue nodded slightly. She understood now that if what attracted Nangong Yu was in the Secret Realm, he truly intended to go in and see.

And Nangong Yu generally didn't make decisions, but once he did, it was difficult for her to change his mind.

Unless... she encountered danger, or she acted incredibly spoiled!

Or if Second Imperial Aunt personally intervened!

But in reality, she didn't need to stop him, after all, according to Instructor Zhang, although some people died in the Seven Emotions Secret Realm, the death rate wasn't high!

It was said that those who failed the trial would be thrown out when the Secret Realm closed.

However, what she didn't know was that those who failed the trial would have their Dao Heart somewhat damaged, making future cultivation progress much more difficult, or even impossible.

Instructor Zhang hadn't mentioned this point!

Not long after, Nangong Yu felt it was almost ready. He added seasonings and roasted it for a moment longer.

Waves of fragrance wafted over, and Nangong Ruoxue couldn't help but salivate, staring eagerly at the roasted meat in Nangong Yu's hand.

Nangong Yu smiled, took out a plate, cut the roasted meat into small pieces, and then handed her a pair of chopsticks.

Nangong Ruoxue quickly took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of roasted meat, and put it in her mouth, "Mmm, it's still so delicious!"

She said, picking up another piece of roasted meat and feeding it to Nangong Yu, "Xiaoyu, Sister will feed you!"

Nangong Yu opened his mouth to take the roasted meat, smiling, "Thank you, Sister Xue!"

The two nestled together, using only one pair of chopsticks, taking turns eating.

The precedent of using only one pair of chopsticks was set by Nangong Ruoxue. Since then, she rarely allowed Nangong Yu to serve himself.

Whenever they were alone, Nangong Ruoxue almost always held the chopsticks, and they shared a single pair.

Only in public would Nangong Ruoxue restrain herself slightly, but even then, Nangong Yu just got an extra pair of chopsticks.

The feeding, however, remained indispensable!

Before long, the two finished the roasted meat, took out two Spirit Fruits to munch on, and looked at the towering pillar of light.
