Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires - Chapter 295

Chapter 295: Into The Rift.
After that, Asher’s group went upstairs and checked on the cultivation techniques available for them to choose from.

The cultivation technique section was a large hall filled with bookshelves, each containing hundreds of books.

Asher could see many disciples browsing through these books, looking for a technique that suited them best. There were many eager new disciples who wanted to make the most of the opportunity given to them by the Twilight Mist Sect.

However, they all seemed confused, as there were just too many books to choose from. They didn’t know where to start or what type of technique they should pick.

Without hesitation, Asher’s group went ahead and searched for their own cultivation techniques.

They looked through the bookshelves and read various books’s introductions one after another. It didn’t take long before they all came back together with a wry smile on their faces.

“Are you all thinking the same as me?” Asher asked them.

Everyone nodded in unison, confirming his suspicions.

The cultivation techniques available here were all very good. Some of them even seemed to be better than the ones that noble clans, families, or factions would offer to their disciples.

But the problem was that all these cultivation techniques couldn’t be compared to what they got in Asher’s Mystic Starry Realm.

What they’ve been gifted by Asher contains numerous powerful cultivation techniques with profound depths that no one else in this world could fathom.

They were definitely the top tier, and compared to these techniques, everything else was like a cheap knock-off.

Naturally, no one wanted to pick a second-rate technique over an excellent one.

So they all chose to stick with what they had already, which was from the Mystic Starry Realm.

“Let’s go check on the cultivation grounds then.” Asher suggested as they all left the library together.

A while later, they arrived at a special area within the Hall of Records, where they found teleportation formations placed on the floor that connected to different places. These were all connected to different kinds of special cultivation grounds available in the sect.

Since every cultivation ground was in a different place in the sect, using these teleportation formations would be much faster and more convenient than traveling there by foot.

After choosing the destination, Asher looked at Nadia, telling her to go back to the manor and take care of some things for him while he was gone.

She nodded in understanding and headed back to the manor with her beautiful white hair swaying behind her.

“Alright girls, let’s part ways for now and head to our respective cultivation grounds.” Asher told Scarlet, Cecil, Lei Liwei, and Cai Yan as he walked toward the teleportation formation that led to the darkness element cultivation ground.

Each one of them nodded before they separated and entered their respective formations.

As Asher entered the formation, he felt his surroundings changing in a flash.

A moment later, he found himself standing on a vast, dark plain where nothing but rocks and dead trees were visible.

The air around him was also cold and filled with an eerie feeling.

Looking ahead, Asher saw a black rift on the ground that stretched for miles and miles. This rift seemed like a huge crack in the earth that led into an endless abyss.

As he looked at this sight, Asher felt a sense of foreboding inside his heart. Something about this place just didn’t seem right.

However, after a moment, it vanished without a trace, leaving him feeling confused and uncertain. He wondered if it was just his imagination playing tricks on him.

But deep down, he knew better than to doubt his instincts. They had saved him countless times before, when he was in dangerous situations.

With that thought in mind, Asher began walking toward the rift.

As he got closer, he noticed that there were strange symbols floating around it that seemed to be preventing the black mist from coming out with a transparent shield.

When he touched the barrier, he felt a strong resistance that made it impossible for him to penetrate. However, after using his sect token, the barrier allowed him to pass through and enter the rift.

It was like entering a bubble that surrounded the area where the rift was located.

Once inside, Asher noticed that the air became much thicker and heavier than before. It felt like he was walking underwater with every step he took.

This black mist contained a powerful darkness element spirit essence. He could feel it flowing through his body, filling him with an overwhelming sense of power and strength.

The Abyssal Whirlpool inside his dantian became active and began to devour this spirit essence in a rapid manner, forming into spirit essence threads that entered his body through the pores.

After some time passed, Asher found that he had become accustomed to this dark environment. It no longer affected him as much as before, allowing him to see everything more clearly.

He saw the stairs carved out on the side of the rift that led downward into the depths below.

Asher started walking down these stairs with slow steps while trying to stay alert at all times. He didn’t know what kind of danger lay ahead, so he needed to be ready for anything that might happen.

However, even after descending the stairs for quite a long time, he didn’t encounter anything dangerous or unusual. It was just that the darkness element spirit essence in the air around him grew heavier and thicker with every passing footstep.

Soon, Asher came across an empty chamber where nothing could be seen except for the stone bed placed in the middle. There were also two glowing stones on either side of it, which illuminated the room with a faint glow.

The walls around this chamber were completely smooth and made of polished black marble, giving off a cold and lifeless feeling.

“This is the place for cultivating the darkness element? The design of this place is very creepy.” Asher thought as he continued walking further down into the depths of this place.

He came across many similar chambers along the way but found that all of them were empty and without any signs of use.

“I guess there aren’t many disciples who have the darkness element in this sect.” Asher muttered under his breath before proceeding deeper inside.

The deeper he went, the stronger the spirit essence became, and soon, he reached a point where he could barely breathe anymore due to its intensity. It was like an ocean of black mist surrounding him on all sides.

At this point, Asher realized that he wouldn’t be able to continue any further without suffocating to death. So he decided to use one of the chambers for cultivation instead.

He chose one of the empty rooms nearby and sat down cross-legged on top of it, closing his eyes, to begin cultivating.

The moment Asher began using Abyssal Spirit Essence Devouring Art, the Abyssal Whirlpool fully activated and devoured the darkness element spirit essence with insatiable greed.

Asher could feel the spirit essence threads entering his body through his pores and getting absorbed into his dantian. Then it would get absorbed by the Abyssal Whirlpool, which spun faster and faster as it consumed more and more spirit essence threads.

It wasn’t long before the whole room was a swirling vortex that devoured black mist in a frenzy.

“Hmmm… Although this place can’t be compared to the cultivation chambers in the Mystic Starry Realm, there is something special about it that makes it possible for me to absorb the darkness element spirit essence faster here.” Asher thought as he focused on cultivating with all his concentration.
