Everyone had emotions and desires, and it was the same no matter what level of cultivation one was at.
Even sages could not cut off their own desires.
Becoming stronger was a desire; power was a desire; women were also a desire.
The music seemed to be able to magnify one's desires and completely detonate them. It controlled the emotions of cultivators, making it difficult for them to control themselves and fall into it. They were even able to create their own fantasies of desire and be controlled by the music.
In the illusion that Ye Futian created, Jieyu was not the only one who appeared. Xia Qingyuan, Yao Xi, and the Glass Saint also appeared. It was not because Ye Futian had feelings for those women, but because it was a desire hidden deep within his heart. No one could not have any thoughts about beautiful things. It was just that the intensity of their desires differed. They would not show on normal days, and they could be easily suppressed.
But under the music, these desires appeared in the form of illusions.
In Ye Futian's mind, he found that the figures of Yao Xi and the Glass Saint were particularly clear. Yao Xi had two sides, gentle and charming, yet dignified and noble, while the Glass Saint was arrogant and cold, inviolable. At that moment, these two beautiful women seemed to be dancing in front of him, mesmerizing him.
That was not because he loved Yao Xi and the Glass Saint more than Jieyu. He loved Jieyu more than anything else. In comparison, perhaps he had some other thoughts about Yao Xi and the Glass Saint.
Yao Xi had left a deep impression on him in the past two days, and the Glass Saint had probably had a special experience.
On the other hand, perhaps because Xia Qingyuan had always been particularly cold in front of him and had never appeared in women's clothing, he did not have any thoughts about her.
The music of the guqin created illusions, and notes floated into his mind, forming a beautiful picture that made it difficult for him to control himself.
The notes seemed to have a strange magic, communicating with the Great Path and constantly destroying and corroding one's self-control. Ye Futian knew that if he gave up resisting and fell into it, he would be completely controlled by the music. The demons of desire would be released, and they would continue to be magnified, making it difficult for him to extricate himself.
He usually stood in front of him with a clear mind, guarding his mind and being indifferent to the illusions.
But the dancing notes made his mind tremble every time. The beautiful dance before him turned into a dance in the illusions, making it difficult for him to control himself.
"Ahem."
At this moment, someone coughed lightly as he stood up. His body was trembling as he closed his eyes and clasped his hands, "Farewell."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left at an incredible speed. The demonic voice lingered in his mind endlessly. He wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
If they continued to stay there, they would only make a fool of themselves. Everyone present today was an influential figure in Emperor Xia's Realm, and under the circumstances where they could still control themselves, they naturally did not want to make a fool of themselves.
After that, there were people who stood up one after another. Their faces were flushed red, but before they lost control, they all stood up and left. Even if they were to leave, they wanted to leave in a dignified manner, and not in a sorry and ugly state.
After leaving, they didn't have any complaints. They had traveled thousands of miles to come here, but they couldn't even listen to a single song. Who could they blame?
There were also many who were reluctant to leave. Under the temptation of the music, they finally gave up resisting and indulged in it, abandoning themselves. They did not make a fool of themselves. On the contrary, they felt an unprecedented joy in their self-abandonment.
The music continued and continued to urge them. They completely abandoned themselves and gradually fell into the music, unable to extricate themselves. It was as if they had forgotten who they were and where they were.
Even those of the Saint Plane gradually found it difficult to resist. Some chose to leave, and some chose to indulge.
Moreover, there were a few who chose to exile themselves even though they could leave. They wanted to see what kind of magic this zither song had, and what would happen after they left themselves.
Yaotai Divine Palace had invited them, and they were not worried that they would be plotted against. In their eyes, this was an extremely rare experience in itself.
Before they knew it, several hours had passed. Other than the music of the guqin and the music of the dance, it was exceptionally quiet at the banquet.
Those who had left had left, and those who had fallen had fallen. Only a small number of people were still persevering, maintaining a clear state of mind. They had neither left nor fallen.
Yao Xi was still sitting there, noble and charming. Her beautiful eyes were smiling, and her voice came from her mouth.
"This time, I held the Yaotai Divine Banquet and invited all of you here to listen to the Heavenly Demon Song of the Six Desires. Such a beautiful song should be enjoyed. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Yao Xi's voice was full of charm, seducing the souls of those who heard it.
Ye Futian opened his eyes, and two beams of dazzling divine light seemed to shoot out from them, seeing through all illusions and breaking through the illusion of the music. He looked at Yao Xi and said, "This song is indeed exquisite, and it can control the will of others. Yao Xi, why did you invite everyone here and let them listen to the Heavenly Demon Song of the Six Desires?"
Xia Lun, who was beside Ye Futian, shone brilliantly. There seemed to be a holy lotus light faintly discernible, revealing a hint of Renhuang's will. He was the son of Renhuang and had inherited his heritage from Emperor Xia.
Xia Lun looked at Yao Xi and said, "Goddess Yao Xi, there is someone who does not want to see you play the Heavenly Demon Song of the Six Desires."
"Is that so?" Yao Xi looked at Xia Lun and said, "Your Highness, who are you referring to?"
"You know who it is," Xia Lun said.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Your Highness. I don't know," Yao Xi said with a smile.
As they spoke, many people around them remained indifferent. Only a few people opened their eyes.
Chu Xi, the young lord of the Shura Palace, the elegant Hundred Flower Prince, Qin Bai of the Qin Palace, who had a grudge with Ye Futian back then, and Gu Ran of the Jiutian Temple. He glanced at Gu Mu beside him. He had already fallen for them.
Gu Mu was not the only one. All the sages had either left or had fallen, and no one knew where they were.
Only one person left, and that was Mo Li of Tianji Pavilion, who cultivated in special abilities. He opened his eyes, and there seemed to be stars in his eyes. But even so, he seemed to be unable to bear it and could collapse at any moment. Yet, he still wanted to keep himself awake and see what would happen that day.
What was Yao Xi's purpose?
Although he had already guessed some of it, he still wanted to confirm his guess.
Back then, at Old Man Xiao's birthday banquet, Yao Xi had intended to go against Xia Qingyuan.
At that time, no one else knew the reason, but he had some inkling.
Ye Futian was even more surprised when he heard the conversation between Yao Xi and Xia Lun. Was there some secret behind Xia Lun's visit?
Who was this "he" that Xia Lun was talking about?
He suddenly felt that there seemed to be something that no one knew about.
He remembered that Xia Qingyuan had always seemed to be very unhappy with Yao Xi, and Yao Xi had also been somewhat against Xia Qingyuan, but they had never gone too far.
The two of them had never really had any direct conflict, and he thought it was just because of the difference in status, but now it seemed that it was more complicated than he had imagined.
At that moment, Ye Futian remembered that before he left, Xia Qingyuan had sent someone to the Cottage Villa, asking him to go to the Golden Hall of the Lotus to cultivate. This was probably also a hint that he should not participate in this Yaotai Divine Feast.
But at that time, he had already promised Yao Xi that he would let the people of Yaotai Divine Palace report, so he pretended not to know and still came.
But now it seemed that there was more to it than meets the eye.
Yao Xi turned her beautiful eyes and looked at Ye Futian. She smiled and said, "Mr. Ye is also a person who is good at the guqin, so you should be able to sense the extraordinariness of this song. Yao Xi naturally invited Mr. Ye here in the hope that Mr. Ye can study the complete Heavenly Demon Song of the Six Desires with me."
"Goddess Yao Xi, in that case, we also have a chance," Chu Xi said.
Yao Xi looked at him and nodded lightly, saying, "Yes."
"If I can cultivate the Heavenly Demon Song of the Six Desires with Goddess Yao Xi, I am willing to immerse myself in it even if I am doomed eternally," Chu Xi said.
Mo Li heard Chu Xi's words and laughed inwardly. Doomed eternally?
It was rumored that Yaotai Divine Palace had a method of dual cultivation. This time, Yao Xi might really be looking for a cultivation partner. If he was chosen by Yao Xi, there was no way he would be doomed eternally. Perhaps it would be the ultimate happiness of the world.
Yao Xi smiled indifferently, and the sound of the guqin still drifted into their ears. Looking at the stunning woman on the throne in front of them, everyone had an extremely strong desire in their hearts. Even Ye Futian could not help but feel that desire, but he could control it better.
Because he did not want to.
However, there was someone who truly desired it.
Xia Lun sighed inwardly. He also controlled himself well and continued, "Yao Xi, don't be so stubborn about this."
Yao Xi smiled and stood up, ignoring Xia Lun's words. She turned around and walked backward. Behind the Yaotai, the wall was pulled apart from the middle, revealing the scenery behind the Yaotai. There was a Jade Pool in front, looking like a fairyland.
Further ahead was a fairy island. Yao Xi's body moved softly and flew into the air. Her phoenix dress fluttered in the air. She looked back and smiled, heading towards the fairy island. She said, "If anyone is able to cross the Jade Pool on a boat, I will study the complete Heavenly Demon Song of the Six Desires with him."
This glance was filled with a myriad of amorous feelings that could steal one's soul.
The seven goddesses got up at the same time and floated above the Jade Pool. They played their guqin in the air, and the music became even more urgent.
Someone got up right away and headed for the Fairy Pool. It was Chu Xi. He stepped onto a small boat and rode it, following Yao Xi.
The others who were still conscious also got up and headed towards the Jade Pool. However, there were very few of them left.
Ye Futian took a look at Xia Lun. At that moment, he also faintly felt that something was off. He could not help but ask Xia Lun, "Your Highness, should I go or not?"
Before, Xia Lun had ordered people to remind him not to touch Yao Xi. He had been puzzled and did not understand Xia Lun's intentions.
Now it seemed that Xia Lun was not provoking him, but had other intentions.
Xia Lun took a look at Ye Futian, then looked at the figure who had already stepped into the Jade Pool and said, "Go."
