Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

The next moment, her spirit materialized above her head as shimmering light surrounded her body, resembling the light given off by the moon on a full moon night.

Everyone stared in awe and wondered at the scene unfolding before them, unable to tear their eyes away from her as they watched in silence, entranced by the beautiful sight.

Although no one could see what kind of spirit it was due to the veil of light surrounding it, it gave off a powerful aura that seemed to belong to a creature far superior to any beast or monster in existence.

After several moments passed, the light dissipated, revealing Cai Yan's spirit. It resembled a python that floated in midair above her head, its scales shimmering in shades of lavender and pink, with intricate marks on its body that looked like swirling clouds dancing through the sky.

A mystical glow emanated from its eyes as it stared at everyone around it, drawing them into its captivating gaze, which seemed to reflect the dreamy essence of the moon.

However, before anyone could say anything, the Spirit Star Obelisk flickered multiple times before showing six shining stars, indicating the rank of her spirit as a Supreme Ranked Spirit.

Yet this wasn't what caught the most participants attention; instead, they had a blank look in their eyes when they saw Cai Yan's spirit hovering above her head. It was as if they had fallen into a trance and lost themselves in the world of dreams and fantasies, unable to escape from its grasp.

It seemed like they didn't want to leave this place where their desires were fulfilled and where they were living out their wildest fantasies.

However, those who didn't fall for her Spirit's mesmerizing effect stared in shock and disbelief at the scene unfolding before them. A sense of dread filled their hearts, realizing the danger that this spirit posed.

They knew that if she used her spirit in a battle, it would become a nightmare for anyone who didn't have strong soul defenses or mental fortitude to resist its charm. Moreover, if she attacked them when they were lost in their dreams, there would be no way for them to defend themselves, which meant that she could kill them without breaking a sweat.

Meanwhile, Asher raised his brows in frown as he felt a strong connection between his Titanoboa Spirit and Cai Yan's. His eyes narrowed with a faint glint of light flashing across his pupils as he used the Astral Nexus Core Orb to get information about her Spirit.

'Elysira, the Ethereal Dreamweaver Python... Hmmm...' After getting a basic knowledge of Cai Yan's Spirit, Asher rubbed his chin in contemplation as he thought to himself, 'So this Spirit can cast illusions that will make its prey enter a dream-like state and consume their soul force at a faster rate, resulting in death.

Furthermore, it also has the ability to enter a person's mind and manipulate their thoughts, emotions, memories, etc., if they are not careful.'

The more Asher learned about the Elysira, the more curious he felt about the connection it shared with his spirit, but even the orb didn't provide any answers to his questions. It was something he would have to figure out by himself in the future.

With a sigh, he decided to put aside these thoughts for now and focus on the event.

Soon after, Elder Harrius, who was stunned by Cai Yan's Supreme Ranked Spirit, regained his composure as he smiled and praised her, "Amazing! What a beautiful Spirit it is! To think that it can charm everyone with just one glance. Matriarch Cai, your daughter will surely become one of the strongest cultivators in the future."

"Haha... Thank you for your kind words, Elder Harrius. My daughter does indeed have a promising future ahead of her," Matriarch Cai Xinyi agreed with him with a chuckle.

However, Elder Kong Yu wasn't happy about this turn of events, so he couldn't help but ask, "Matriarch Cai, There is still something I am confused about. Why did you choose to send your daughter to the Twilight Mist Sect? Wouldn't it have been better if she joined Heaven's Glory Palace instead? After all, your husband used to be a part of Heaven's Glory Palace.

Wouldn't he have been happier to see his daughter join our sect?"

Upon hearing his question, Matriarch Cai Xinyi narrowed her eyes at him and gave him a cold glare before replying with a frosty tone, "Elder Kong Yu, I hope you will understand that the choice of my daughter's sect is up to her alone, not me or anyone else. Therefore, there is no need for you to pry into this matter.

As for her father being an alumnus of your sect, I believe you know how he ended up. So please refrain from talking about him again."

Elder Kong Yu had a scowl on his face after being scolded by Matriarch Cai Xinyi like this; however, he knew better than to continue arguing with her in public and lose the face of his sect in front of everyone, so he just nodded his head in response, "My apologies, Matriarch Cai. I shouldn't have mentioned that topic."

Matriarch Cai Xinyi snorted before looking away from him and focusing on Cai Yan, who finished her test.

The next moment, all the participants who were under Spirit's charm were snapped out of their trance-like state and began looking around themselves in panic.

They couldn't believe that everything they went through was an illusion or dream, and they didn't want to leave that place where their wishes came true. Thus, some of them started yelling in frustration and desperation as tears flowed down their cheeks, while others tried to calm themselves down by taking deep breaths.

"Ahhhh.... My harem of beauties... Come back to me..."

"Damn it! How could this be?! It felt so real!"

"What happened? Why am I crying?"

Seeing this scene unfold, Elder Katrina couldn't help but shake her head in amusement before releasing an aura that calmed them down, allowing them to regain their composure.
