"These two guys..."

Wang Sijing was dumbfounded, her mouth agape, finding the scene utterly unbelievable.

How many days has it been now?

It seems she herself managed to persist in such an environment for only one day?

Lin Tian was covered under so much snow, surely he hasn’t entered a deep meditation, but why could he last so many days?

Could he be frozen to death in there?

Crack, crack...

The sound came from Wang Sijing clenching her fists, mobilizing all her Inner Strength, concentrating it in her right fist.

If he hasn’t frozen to death, it’ll be terrifying when he emerges.

As a direct descendant of the Wang Family, how could Wang Sijing allow such a thing to happen?

So, whether this guy is frozen to death or not, he will still receive a strike from her.

That way, even if he’s not dead, he will be.

"Ha!"

She shouted with a heavy grunt, stamping her feet, her whole being like a diving eagle, eyes locked onto that protruding snowball with a deadly intent.

Even if you’re a Golden Core master, so what?

In a state of cultivation, when there’s no one to guard you, that’s when you’re weakest!

Wang Sijing suddenly felt, while Lin Tian might be powerful, he was also a fool, exposing such a weakness to someone who hates him the most.

Every ancient martial family has its characteristics. The Wang Family’s feature is their explosive power, so an already short distance was covered by Wang Sijing’s fist in the blink of an eye.

This punch, containing Inner Strength, doesn’t explode directly but turns into Inner Strength, directly crushing the snow pile and the person inside it into flesh.

Whoosh~

Another gust blew through, as if someone had pushed Wang Sijing with a palm, directly blowing her away.

The wind on the Bodhi Platform had never ceased.

But this gust... how should one describe it?

Monstrous!

This was a monstrous wind, conjured from thin air with powerful force. If the strength were greater, Wang Sijing would have been blown off the cliff.

Wang Sijing, being a direct descendant of the Wang Family, a materialist, did not believe in demons or spirits. Besides, here at the Five Pure Ones Temple, which demon would dare act recklessly?

Wang Sijing rolled a few times on the snow, then leveraged the force to flip mid-air, swaying a bit before finding her balance.

"Who!" She glanced around and shouted, "Dare to scheme in the dark but not show yourself?"

Given Wang Sijing’s temperament, she was being quite polite. After all, whoever acted just now was immensely powerful, and it was just a gust of wind. Moreover, she hadn’t even detected where they attacked from.

To weaker foes, show off as needed.

To those stronger, act submissive as needed.

"Hoho." A gentle laugh echoed, followed by two elders emerging from behind the wooden door, one with kind eyes, the other ethereal like a celestial.

Wang Sijing’s gaze instantly softened, her chest heaving intensely, clearly she was very excited.

Wang Sijing had never met Master Shu Xuanyi, for he was a top-tier figure, not someone she could see as she wished.

Yet even without having met him, Wang Sijing could recognize him instantly.

For there was no other with such demeanor on the Five Pure Ones Temple.

"Master..." Wang Sijing dared not act arrogantly, and meekly clasped her fists at the two, showing utmost respect.

"This is a pure land of Buddhism, where killing should not occur."

The elder beside Shuqing spoke, still bearing a gentle smile, the same one who had spoken with Lin Tian earlier.

Wang Sijing’s body trembled, feeling cold sweat flowing, saying, "Master... I..."

At that moment, Wang Sijing felt extreme regret, why harbor thoughts of killing here, deliberately opposing Buddhism?

Shuqing smiled and said, "No need to explain to me, Benefactor."

"..." Wang Sijing’s expression froze, wasn’t this completely disregarding people?

"Master, actually, I came here with a question for you..." Wang Sijing spoke with determination.

Shuqing said, "What is it?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Wang Sijing opened her mouth, just ready to speak when interrupted by the elder monk beside Shuqing, "Benefactor, hold for a moment, let me guess."

Wang Sijing wisely kept silent, realizing she lacked the qualification to speak before such figures.

"Could the Benefactor be surnamed Wang?" The elder monk asked with a smile.

"Yes."

"Hmm, then I have a rough idea. Your visit involves two issues, correct?"

Wang Sijing’s face suddenly lit up with joy, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, two issues in total."

"The first one likely concerns yourself... Is it being trapped by the Golden Core? I noticed your Body Technique, and palm power contained Inner Strength; you should have connected the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, but the Golden Core still eludes you, correct?"

"The master is spot-on, I wonder if there’s a solution..." Wang Sijing’s voice trembled with excitement.

Praised from a young age as the top young generation, her cultivation progressed smoothly, her strength increased effortlessly, even overwhelming peers. This shaped her current brazen character and temperament.

Yet the Golden Core became her barrier.

Previous methods don’t work anymore, as if a celestial road suddenly broke, how could she not be anxious?

Also hearing of Master Shu Xuanyi’s reputation, knowing his great wisdom, she came seeking aid.

Unexpectedly, even before Master Shu Xuanyi spoke, she encountered someone so skilled.

"The method exists, appearing within yourself." The elder monk smiled.

Wang Sijing was utterly baffled, staring blankly at the elder monk, "What problem do I have?"

"Are you aware of the eighty-one hardships?"

Wang Sijing nodded without hesitation, wasn’t this common knowledge? As someone from the Celestial Dragon Continent, how could she not know the famed "Journey to the West"?

Wait...

Wang Sijing spaced out for a moment, then asked, "Master, are you implying my cultivation path has been too smooth?"

"Then I..."

"There’s no complete life, nor complete cultivation path. Maybe it’s your Golden Elixir Tribulation."

"Golden Elixir Tribulation?"

Wang Sijing truly hadn’t grasped it, "There’s such a thing as the Golden Elixir Tribulation?"

"Everyone’s cultivation journey is different, each will face tribulations, sooner or later."

"..." Wang Sijing was lost for words, was there anything more absurd in this world?

"Then Master... How should I transcend this tribulation?" Wang Sijing asked cautiously.

"Go with the flow." The elder monk chuckled.

"..." If not for the profound power of the old monk before her, Wang Sijing would have fiercely strangled him. ’Transcend tribulation by going with the flow’, his words made no sense at all!
