Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

The corners of Elder Katrina's mouth curled upward in response. She then placed her hands on Asher's shoulders and shifted her body so that she could sit on his lap comfortably. She also brought her face closer to his, closing the distance between them even further.

"Then how about you prove yourself right now? Give me that cultivation technique and show me how I can reach the Emperor Realm." Elder Katrina whispered while gazing into Asher's eyes. "And if you do, I promise I'll reward you well."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

A playful smile appeared on Asher's lips as he heard her words. Then, without wasting any time, he closed his eyes and searched for suitable cultivation techniques for Elder Katrina inside the Astral Nexus Core Orb's database.

There were hundreds of thousands of cultivation techniques stored within it, ranging from low-grade ones to high-grade ones. Each one was more unique than the last. Some focused on strengthening the body, while others focused on enhancing the spirit essence within a person's Dantian. There were even some that aimed to increase one's soul power.

All these techniques came from different worlds and different eras. Some were created by powerful experts who lived tens of thousands of years ago, while others were created based on nature's laws and principles during the enlightenment of expert cultivators.

Meanwhile, Elder Katrina was confused when she saw Asher close his eyes and fall silent. She wondered what he was doing. But then she noticed that his body seemed to be emitting an unusual amount of spiritual energy. It flowed throughout his veins, giving him a mysterious aura. His aura wasn't just strong; it also contained a hint of dominance within it.

This was similar to when he brought his Spirit out at the time of the disciple recruitment trial.

'What's happening?' Elder Katrina asked herself. 'Why is he suddenly releasing such a powerful aura? Wasn't he supposed to give me a cultivation technique instead?'

As those thoughts ran through her mind, Asher found a suitable technique for her. It was an Immortal Grade technique that originated from the world known for its endless forests and lush jungles. According to the orb, that world was destroyed after the ruling power offended a certain immortal. As such, that cultivation method was lost forever.

However, the orb somehow contained that technique, which meant that Asher could pass it onto Elder Katrina.

"Found one." Asher said while opening his eyes. He then focused on Elder Katrina, who was still sitting on his lap with her hands placed on his shoulders. Their faces were so close together that he could feel her breath against his lips. He couldn't help but feel something stir inside his heart when he noticed how beautiful she looked up close.

Her emerald-green eyes seemed to shine with a faint light, making them appear even more alluring than usual.

When Elder Katrina heard Asher speak, she blinked several times in surprise. "Found it? What do you mean by that? Were you browsing through some kind of archive?"

"In a sense, yes." Asher nodded while caressing her thighs. "Anyway, why don't you take a look at it first and see if you like it?"

"Okay..." Elder Katrina nodded slowly. She wasn't sure what Asher meant by 'looking at it,' since he didn't give her anything yet. However, she didn't ask him any further questions. Then she saw his face coming closer towards hers, and before she knew it, their foreheads were touching each other.

Elder Katrina found this position to be very intimate. It felt as if they were connecting their minds together through their touch. Her senses became heightened, allowing her to feel every single detail of his body. His breathing, his heartbeat, his warmth. All these things became clear to her, bringing a sense of closeness that she had never experienced before.

However, even though she enjoyed this sensation, Elder Katrina still couldn't understand what Asher was doing. But before she could say anything else, she felt a surge of energy entering her body from Asher's forehead. This caused her eyes to close involuntarily as she focused on processing the information flooding into her brain.

At the same time, images of ancient forests filled with vibrant plants and colorful flowers appeared within Elder Katrina's mind. Some of these images contained scenes of ancient cultivators meditating under giant trees, while others showed them practicing martial arts amidst lush foliage.

As these images flashed through Elder Katrina's head, she could hear faint whispers coming from somewhere in the distance. She couldn't make out what they were saying, but somehow, she felt as though they were explaining something to her.

Once the voices stopped, Elder Katrina opened her eyes and gasped for breath. Her heart was beating wildly within her chest, making her feel like she had just run a marathon. Her mind was racing at a million miles per hour, trying to process everything she just saw. And yet, despite all this, Elder Katrina managed to stay calm and collected.

She took several deep breaths and tried to focus on calming down her raging emotions.

After taking a few minutes to calm herself down, Elder Katrina looked at Asher with wide, open eyes. She couldn't believe what just happened to her.

"Wha... what was that?" Elder Katrina asked after a moment of silence. "I saw so many things... Ancient cultivators practicing martial arts... Ancient forests full of life and vitality... An entire world covered in dense jungles filled with countless species of plants and animals."

Asher chuckled at her reaction. "Those are the memories of the technique's creator engraved inside it. I had you see them as well, since you always wanted to witness the wonders of other worlds. This way, you can learn everything you need to know about the Immortal Grade cultivation method at once. All that knowledge has been embedded into your mind."

"Ah! Immortal Grade?" Elder Katrina exclaimed in shock. Her heart began beating faster when she heard this news. "How did you manage to find such a treasure? Where did it come from?"
