Temptation.
It was indeed temptation.
The longer one practiced cultivation, the more stable one's heart became, with fewer things able to cause temptation.
Yet, the two choices presented by the Flame God, were temptations that no cultivator could easily refuse.
Dual cultivation with a Divine Lord, sharing cultivation memories and experiences, and even the exquisite experience of their noble body, allowing it to nurture one's own bloodline—who could bear to refuse such extreme sensations?
The second choice was to directly gain control of a Plane, possessing the pinnacle power and influence that was hard to come by in this world.
To hold the world's power whilst awake, to sleep drunkenly on the knees of a beauty.
Cultivators also had desires, not truly without wants, but what they desired could no longer be satisfied by ordinary worldly things.
Han Muye slowly extended his hand, envy showing on the face of the Fire Spirit behind him.
