All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

Just when Yuemeng thought she was about to easily pass the second test, a sudden change occurred!

Four of the cultivators who had been so enthusiastic and obedient to her suddenly sharpened their eyes, quietly moved their feet, and, using the treasures in the palace as cover, silently circled around to behind Yue Meng.

"Charge!"

A low shout suddenly rang out, filled with icy killing intent, a stark contrast to the fawning and obsequious tone from before.

Yue Meng froze, instinctively wanting to turn around, when a furious shout came from behind her.

"Damn vixen! Does she really think we cultivators are all ignorant and greedy fools? Do you think you can manipulate us with a few sweet words?"

"What?!"

Yue Meng's pupils contracted slightly, and the calm on her face was finally broken. A hint of surprise flashed across her face, followed by a playful smile.

It was a lie?

interesting.

She never expected that these seemingly greedy cultivators would have such thoughts and dare to play such tricks in front of her.

A thought flashed through her mind, and the power of greed within Yue Meng's body instantly surged. She prepared to use her cultivation to kill these arrogant cultivators on the spot.

After all, with her current strength at the late stage of the seventh level of the Breakthrough Realm, dealing with these cultivators who were only at the third level of the Breakthrough Realm would be a piece of cake.

But the next second, Yue Meng's expression changed slightly.

She was shocked to discover that the power of greed within her body seemed to be sealed by an invisible force, and no matter how she tried to mobilize it, it remained completely still!

Let alone using all its strength to kill a cultivator, it couldn't even release a trace of its aura.

"What's going on?" Yue Meng wondered to herself, her brows furrowing as she tried to mobilize her cultivation again.

But the result was still the same; the power within his body was like stagnant water, without any ripples.

Just then, the voice of the Demon of Greed rang in her mind again, with a faint smile and a hint of warning.

"Little girl, have you forgotten what I told you? The key to this second test is seduction, not killing."

"You cannot use any force; you can only rely on your own abilities to lure these cultivators into being completely consumed by greed, making them willingly serve you. If you use force, even if you can kill them, the test will still be considered a failure."

Yue Meng suddenly realized.

It turned out to be the case.

She said, "How could the second test be so simple? The real difficulty lies here."

Unable to use force, they could only rely on enticement. Even if they were deceived or schemed against by the cultivators, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and completely control them with their desires.

The cultivator behind her saw that Yue Meng was standing still and assumed that she was scared out of her wits, and a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.

With his hands moving rapidly, he created a series of pale golden runes that instantly formed a simple trapping array, firmly enveloping Yue Meng within it.

"Witch, surrender!" The leading cultivator in brocade robes sneered. "We've long seen through your tricks. Why would someone offer treasures or help someone improve their strength for no reason? You must be an evil spirit in disguise. Today, we will act on behalf of Heaven and eliminate you, witch!"

The other three cultivators echoed his sentiments, their eyes filled with righteous indignation, as if they were truly righteous cultivators dedicated to eliminating demons.

"You demon women and sorcerers, you lure us cultivators into this sinister temple, then devour our flesh and blood and plunder our cultivation. Aren't you truly afraid of divine punishment from Heaven?!"

The leading cultivator in brocade robes roared again, his tone full of righteous indignation. He moved his hands faster in making hand seals, and the light of the trapping array became even more intense, suppressing Yue Meng's figure.

Yue Meng's hands, hanging by her sides, tightened slightly. The playfulness on her face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of seriousness, and she began to have a vague guess in her heart.

Not right.

The cultivators' reactions were too real; their killing intent, vigilance, and even the hint of fear deep in their eyes were not something that an illusion could simulate.

Moreover, the treasures in this palace are warm to the touch and full of spiritual energy, which are definitely not illusions; the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air are also terrifyingly clear, which cannot be created by a simple illusion.

This doesn't seem like an illusion, but rather a real world.

A thought flashed through Yue Meng's mind, and she instantly connected it to the power of the Greedy Demon.

Given the power of the Greed Demon as a high-ranking evil god in the evil god plane, sending her to a real world for testing doesn't seem like a difficult task.

After all, the core of the second test is seduction. Only in the real world, facing real cultivators and real desires, can her ability to control desires and seduce others be truly tested.

And indeed, it turned out just as she had guessed.

This is not an illusion created by the greedy demon, but a real cultivation world—the Prosperous Tide Realm.

This Fanxi Realm is a pure cultivation world, where everyone focuses on cultivation, and the division of realms follows the rules of the traditional cultivation world.

From Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Void Refining, Body Integration, Mahayana, and finally to the highest Tribulation Transcending stage, each step is a progressive one, requiring countless hardships and dangers.

The strongest being in the Prosperous Realm right now is a peak Mahayana cultivator who is about to undergo tribulation. He is just one step away from passing the heavenly tribulation and ascending to the Immortal Realm.

In the second trial, Yue Meng plays the role of an extraterrestrial demon who has intruded into the Fanxi Realm.

Possessing evil power, it makes a living by luring cultivators into corruption and devouring their cultivation.

Her core mission this time was to lure the cultivator who was about to undergo tribulation, causing him to develop inner demons during the tribulation, fail to pass the tribulation, and become a puppet of desire, so that she could absorb his original power after his failure.

As for the four cultivators in front of them, they were not ordinary rogue cultivators, but rather the personal disciples of the Tribulation Transcending cultivator, all of whom were at the late Nascent Soul stage.

They were ordered to come to this place, which they regarded as an "evil temple," to wipe out the extraterrestrial demons that had invaded the Prosperous Tide Realm, protect the safety of their sect, and clear obstacles for their master to overcome his tribulation.

Having figured all this out, a faint smile reappeared on Yue Meng's face, but this smile contained less of amusement and more of a sense of confidence.

So this is the real gameplay of the second challenge.

Instead of luring fake cultivators in an illusion, he plays the role of an extraterrestrial demon in the real world, tempting real cultivators to fall into depravity. He even schemes to cause a powerful cultivator about to undergo tribulation to fail.

This test was far more interesting than she had imagined.

"Divine punishment?"

Yue Meng slowly raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping over the four cultivators. Her tone was gentle, yet it carried a bewitching and sinister power.

"The Heavenly Way you speak of is nothing but a shackle that binds the weak."

"Besides, so what if it devours a cultivator's cultivation and tempts them to fall into depravity?" She chuckled lightly, a cold glint in her eyes.

"The law of the jungle is the norm in this world. Your master's desire to transcend tribulation and ascend to immortality, coveting the power of the immortal realm, isn't that greed?"

"You keep calling me a demoness, saying I seduce cultivators, but don't you yourselves have even a trace of greed? Don't you have the desire to become stronger, to follow your master, and to ascend to the Immortal Realm together?"

Yue Meng's words were like a sharp knife, precisely piercing the hearts of the four cultivators.

As direct disciples of cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage, they possess exceptional talent, yet they also bear immense pressure.

They yearn to become stronger, to gain their master's approval, and even more so, to one day follow their master through tribulations and ascend to immortality, breaking free from the shackles of this Prosperous Realm and becoming true immortal powerhouses.

This desire is the deepest, most secret greed in their hearts.

The monk in the brocade robe's face instantly turned ugly, his eyes flashing, and he forced himself to remain calm as he rebuked him.

"Stop your nonsense, you witch! We cultivators cultivate to defy fate and protect all living beings, not for the greed you claim! Today, we will surely eliminate you to uphold justice!"

As he spoke, he made a hand seal, and the trapping formation contracted again, with golden runes wrapping around Yue Meng, trying to completely bind her.

But Yue Meng remained completely calm. She didn't even try to struggle; she simply stood quietly within the trap.

With a thought, the sealed power of desire within his body quietly transformed into wisps of invisible air, piercing through the trapping formation and silently drifting towards the four cultivators.

She cannot use force, but she can use the power of desire to strike at the deepest greed in their hearts.

Since they were disciples of that Tribulation Transcending cultivator, and since they longed to become stronger and ascend, she would start from that point.

She amplified their greed to the extreme, making them betray their master and become pawns in her scheme to lure that Tribulation Transcending cultivator.

This was the key to her passing the second test.

"Do you really believe that your master can successfully ascend to immortality just by undergoing tribulation?"

Yue Meng's voice rang out again, soft and alluring, with a subtle, almost imperceptible seduction.

"The tribulation is a life-or-death ordeal, and what's more, your master also harbors endless greed in his heart. He longs to ascend and to control more powerful forces. This greed is his greatest inner demon during the tribulation."

"Even if he miraculously survives the heavenly tribulation and ascends to the immortal realm, do you think he will take you with him?"

"The Immortal Realm is filled with powerful beings. After your master ascends to immortality, he will be unable to protect himself, so how can he take care of you disciples? At that time, you will still be just ordinary cultivators in the Prosperous Tide Realm, still bound by the limitations of your cultivation level, still facing birth, aging, sickness and death, and will never be able to realize your desires."

Yue Meng's words, each one like a heavy hammer, struck the hearts of the four cultivators.

Their faces grew increasingly grim, and the resolve in their eyes began to waver.

What Yue Meng said was exactly what they were most worried about.

They had long heard of the difficulty of transcending the tribulation. Although their master was already at the peak of the Mahayana stage, it was still extremely difficult for him to overcome the tribulation.

Moreover, Master is usually cold and aloof, only thinking about cultivation and tribulation. He has only fulfilled his basic teaching responsibilities to his disciples and has never shown them much care.

If Master truly succeeds in transcending the tribulation and ascends to the Immortal Realm, he will probably abandon them in the Prosperous Tide Realm and leave them to their fate.

Thinking of this, the greed in the hearts of the four cultivators began to grow quietly. Their desire to become stronger and to ascend became stronger and stronger, even overshadowing their vigilance and killing intent.

Yuemeng saw all of this, and the smile on her lips grew even wider.

She knew that she had succeeded in taking the first step.

Next, all she needs to do is add fuel to the fire, amplifying their greed to the extreme, and she can turn them into her puppets.

Then, with their help, he could make contact with the cultivator who was about to undergo tribulation and complete his own trial.
