Chapter 1918 - 1946: Origin of Temptation
At this moment, Xingchenzi’s eyes revealed confidence, looking very satisfied and not a bit flustered.
Previously, the reason they were so eager to have Ye Feng killed was that they believed Ye Feng’s talent was incredibly extraordinary. If Ye Feng stayed in the Green Lotus Sword Sect, given time to grow, then sooner or later the Green Lotus Sword Sect would surpass the Cangxuan Alliance.
Even though the Cangxuan Alliance has Dao Venerate-level super geniuses, Emperor Yun Dao Venerable is the same.
But if Ye Feng is out of the picture, they won’t be in a hurry anymore. Without Ye Feng, the gap between the Cangxuan Alliance, led by Emperor Yun Dao Venerable, and the Green Lotus Sword Sect will only grow larger. By then, the Green Lotus Sword Sect will pose no threat to the Cangxuan Alliance.
Qinglei and Elder Qingyu both frowned and lowered their heads in thought, not responding to Xingchenzi’s words.
Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Dao Maze, Tianxing looked at everyone and said indifferently, "Alright, now congratulations on advancing to the final trial. Follow me..." As soon as his voice fell, everyone followed Tianxing’s lead.
After a while, Tianxing led Ye Feng and the others to another large hall.
Inside the large hall, there was a huge pool, and the pool water was completely made of top-grade Daoist Crystal Spiritual Liquid. In the center of the pool, there was a stone platform about three meters in diameter, and on the stone platform, there was a small, colorful Qilin beast.
The small, colorful Qilin beast was about the size of an adult hunting dog and looked very cute.
"Primordial Spirit!" Upon seeing the colorful Qilin beast, everyone’s eyes revealed a look of excitement.
They all knew that this was the Primordial Spirit they had been pursuing, which made everyone very excited.
At this time, the Primordial Spirit was asleep, giving them the feeling that it was easily obtainable.
Tianxing said indifferently, "The Primordial Spirit is here. This is your final trial. Each of you will try one by one. As long as you can make the Primordial Spirit willingly follow you, then it is yours!"
"What! It’s that simple?" Everyone’s eyes showed a look of surprise and they asked in disbelief.
Tianxing nodded gently and confirmed to everyone, "Yes, it’s that simple. As long as you can earn the Primordial Spirit’s recognition and make it follow you, you can take it away, and I will absolutely not interfere!"
Upon hearing Tianxing’s words, everyone became eager to try, showing great excitement.
However, Ye Feng’s eyes revealed a look of mockery. It may sound simple, but to make the Primordial Spirit follow them was far from easy, not to mention making it willingly follow them.
Tianxing said indifferently, "Who will go first? Decide the sequence among yourselves!"
"Let me try!" At this moment, Ye Lan stepped out, and no one objected. Tianxing said, "Remember, each person has only one incense stick’s worth of time. If the Primordial Spirit does not want to follow you within that time, then it’s a failure!"
"Understood!" Ye Lan nodded, slowly walked to the front of the Primordial Spirit, and stared at it.
The Primordial Spirit slowly opened its eyes and lazily gazed at Ye Lan, seeming not at all nervous nor afraid of being forcibly taken. Ye Lan said, "Come on, little one, follow me. I have lots of delicious food here!"
Ye Lan then took out many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to tempt the Primordial Spirit, but the Primordial Spirit paid them no attention.
Just like coaxing a child, Ye Lan presented many items to tempt the Primordial Spirit, but it showed no interest, not even glancing at Ye Lan. Very soon, an incense stick’s time had passed.
"Time’s up, you failed, return!" Tianxing loudly announced to Ye Lan.
Ye Lan’s eyes showed a look of disappointment. He nodded helplessly and then returned to the group.
Tianxing asked, "Next, who wants to try? You decide the order yourselves, don’t make me ask again next time!"
"I’ll go!" At this moment, a Dao Sect expert from the Fierce Blade Sect at Great Perfection stepped forward and said loudly.
Then, the expert from Fierce Blade Sect, eyes gleaming with confidence, arrived in front of the Primordial Spirit, and presented a green Spirit Fruit. The fragrance of the Spirit Fruit instantly permeated everywhere.
The Spirit Fruit resembled a triangular diamond, crystal clear and exuding an extremely enticing aroma.
"Green Origin Spirit Fruit! A top-tier Holy-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure!" Upon seeing the Green Origin Spirit Fruit, everyone’s eyes revealed a look of shock. Ye Lan couldn’t help saying, "It’s said that consuming it can increase the chance of breaking through to the Saint Realm by thirty percent!"
No one expected the expert from the Fierce Blade Sect to take out such a valuable item to tempt the Primordial Spirit.
But if obtaining the Primordial Spirit meant giving up a single Green Origin Spirit Fruit, it was totally worth it.
Sure enough, upon seeing the Green Origin Spirit Fruit, the Primordial Spirit’s eyes showed a look of yearning and it got up from the stone platform, directly and proactively approaching the expert from Fierce Blade Sect, opening its mouth.
"Shu~~" Then, the Primordial Spirit inhaled sharply and directly absorbed the Green Origin Spirit Fruit into its mouth.
Chomp chomp~~~ It started chewing, eyes showing a look of enjoyment. The Fierce Blade Sect expert was thrilled and felt he had a chance this time. He said, "Follow me, and I’ll give you more Green Origin Spirit Fruits!" Of course, this was only to deceive the Primordial Spirit.
The Primordial Spirit completely ignored him, leaping back to the stone platform, comfortably lying down.
"What!" Seeing this, the Fierce Blade Sect expert’s eyes revealed anger.
"Hurry up and follow me! You think you can eat my Green Origin Spirit Fruit and just leave it at that?" It should be known that the Green Origin Spirit Fruit was initially intended to help him advance to the Half-Saint Realm and break through to the early Sanctum Ascension. Now with the Primordial Spirit refusing to follow him after consuming it, he was furious, shouting angrily at the Primordial Spirit.
However, the Primordial Spirit just lay on the stone platform, completely ignoring the Martial Artist from the Fierce Blade Sect, not even looking at him, which infuriated the Martial Artist, prompting him to angrily shout aloud, "Damn it, follow me!"
