Above the lake in Lingyou Valley, after confirming that You Yueying had completely left, Qin Luo's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief.
After a brief hesitation, he skillfully formed hand seals.
Countless spiritual seals swirled out from his body, dazzling like stars, and then drifted into the void.
With a soft hum, a sacred protective array radiating silver light appeared out of thin air, spreading outwards at an extremely fast speed, covering an area of a hundred miles in radius, isolating it from the noise and disturbances of the outside world.
Although this Sacred Extreme Guardian Spirit Array is only a level three spirit array, it can only resist some demonic beasts with Soul Contract Realm cultivation according to common sense. For Qin Luo now, it seems insignificant.
Qin Luo's cultivation of the Radiant Array Scripture had long since reached its highest level—the Radiant Array Transformation Chapter—through continuous spiritual practice.
With the profound knowledge of the Radiant Array Codex, the spirit arrays he set up were no longer what they used to be. Not only could they change shape at will, but they could also cleverly integrate spiritual energy of different attributes, thus generating ever-changing effects that were impossible to defend against.
At this moment, Qin Luo had also incorporated the Primordial Breath into the Sacred Spirit Guardian Array.
Although the formation did not significantly improve its pure defensive power, it made a qualitative leap in isolating itself from external perception.
Those wisps of primordial energy acted like an invisible filter, blocking all external probing and spying, creating a relatively secluded space for Qin Luo.
Crucially, Qin Luo vaguely sensed that the spiritual seal he had formed due to the radiant body of the spiritual array seemed to possess some unique mystery.
As he continued to cultivate, the number of spiritual seals increased day by day. These spiritual seals gave him a strange feeling, as if they possessed the potential to penetrate everything, break through invisible limitations, and display even greater power...
However, Qin Luo's attention was not on the spirit array at the moment. He only sensed it briefly before focusing on his cultivation.
For ordinary spiritual tribulations, the only methods used are to appease or suppress them again during the tribulation.
At that time, the spiritual energy in the body will become chaotic and violent. Cultivators need to rely on their profound knowledge and exquisite techniques to sort out and restore this restless spiritual energy.
However, the situation Qin Luo faced was far more complex than he had imagined. His body did not contain only a single type of spiritual energy, but rather a variety of completely different spiritual energies, each with its own characteristics.
Once these spiritual energies begin to undergo spiritual tribulation, they are highly likely to trigger unpredictable crises.
That is why Qin Luo has always stored the spiritual energy that has been returned.
When the spiritual tribulation descends, the original spiritual energy within the body will inevitably descend into chaos and become uncontrollable. In that case, it's better to fight violence with violence.
Using this returned spiritual energy to fight against the raging spiritual energy that was about to spiral out of control was the key to his successful spiritual tribulation.
Thinking of this, Qin Luo calmed down and began to cultivate quietly...
Time flies, and seven months have passed in the blink of an eye.
With less than a month to go before the Divine Beast Festival, outside Lingyou Valley, Nuantang looked at the dark barrier and said helplessly to the woman beside her:
“Clan Chief Silverfrost, Young Master Qin is still in cultivation. I know the festival is approaching and time is tight, but we cannot be sure when he will emerge from seclusion. Please do not disturb him without authorization.”
Hearing this, Silver Frost's eyes filled with worry. She sighed and said:
“Nuantang, how I wish my lord could cultivate in peace. But you must understand, our small clan has little advantage in the Divine Beast Festival. If we don't set off early, we might not even qualify to enter the festival grounds. The festival is less than a month away, yet my lord is still in seclusion. What if he doesn't emerge in time…”
Before she could finish speaking, Nuantang raised her hand to interrupt Yinshuang, saying firmly:
“I know how important this is. But Young Master Qin said that we must not disturb him while he is cultivating, or we will have to bear the consequences! How about this, let’s wait a few more days. If Young Master Qin has not emerged from seclusion by the eve of the festival, we will think of another way.”
In truth, Nuantang felt somewhat helpless. The "don't disturb" rule wasn't something Qin Luo said, but rather something arranged for her by that terrifying woman who was by Qin Luo's side a few months ago.
Nuantang understood Chief Yinshuang's concerns and the importance of this divine beast festival to their clan. But she dared not disobey the mysterious woman's orders.
Thinking of that woman, Nuantang couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. Just one glance from her was enough to instill awe in her.
Seeing Nuantang's resolute expression, Yinshuang swallowed back the words she was about to say. Although she was anxious and worried, Nuantang's words made her hesitate.
After all, no one knew what terrible consequences would result from disturbing Qin Luo's cultivation.
"Alright, then let's wait a few more days. I hope Master can emerge from seclusion in time." Yin Shuang sighed softly, her eyes filled with helplessness. Her gaze returned to the dark barrier, hoping that Qin Luo would break through the barrier in the next second.
Meanwhile, in another part of Lingyou Valley, two other people were also watching the dark barrier.
"Miss, the festival is approaching, and this human hasn't come out yet. Could something have happened to him?"
Standing behind Yue Lishan, Uncle Rong frowned, his eyes filled with worry as he spoke.
Yue Lishan stood there quietly, her black robe fluttering in the wind, yet unable to conceal her sickly appearance. Her face was pale, as if she might be blown away by a gust of wind at any moment.
Upon hearing Rong Shu's words, Yue Lishan turned her head and looked through the dark barrier, as if trying to see what was happening inside Lingyou Valley, but in the end she could only see a blur.
She sighed softly and said with a hint of helplessness:
"Uncle Rong, do we still have a choice now?"
As these somewhat sorrowful words were spoken, Uncle Rong was taken aback. Looking at Yue Lishan's haggard appearance, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when he thought of the restrictions that the supreme expert had placed on Yue Lishan, he didn't know how to start.
At the same time, at the top of Lingyou Valley.
You Yueying's soul seemed to float, her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes were full of doubt.
"So much time has passed, why hasn't that kid started his spiritual tribulation yet? With his talent, he shouldn't be dragging this out."
The soft murmur echoed across the empty valley roof, carrying a hint of confusion and worry.
Her gaze was fixed on the barrier she had erected, trying to see Qin Luo's condition through the halo of light.
"Logically speaking, he has had enough time to prepare, and all the conditions are met. Why is there still no movement? Could it be that he has encountered some obstacle?"
You Yueying pondered to herself, various guesses flashing through her mind.
