Novel Full Chapter 457 Prelude To The Final Trial (4)
When Feng Minyue and Ji Yuan were returning from the valley, back to their camp, they were still holding hands.
As soon as they caught sight of their camp, they quickly broke loose of each other.
This however, was not lost on Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng and Ling Feiyue.
As for the Great Beyond Goddess, she naturally was aware of what was happening but she was playing dumb.
Feng Minyue was still quietly looking at Ji Yuan. She had so many orgasms that she had actually lost count and this was the very first time that she had orgasm. She felt really embarrassed and chided herself for actually being a hoe.
In fact, she was quite addicted to the experiences and she could not let go of Ji Yuan…
But in Ji Yuan’s eyes, she was perfect and he liked her. Moreover he had actually conquered his dream girl!
Xiang Li had to remind him: Big Brother, you have not conquered Jiajia yet!
Ji Yuan simply brushed Xiang Li aside!
Ling Feiyue was the first one to greet them as she put on a purposeful smile before grabbing Ji Yuan, “Follow me!”
Ji Yuan was astonished as he asked Ling Feiyue, “Where are we going?”
Ling Feiyue answered him with a wink, “You have taken a day stroll with Sister Feng. Now we are going to take a evening stroll together.”
When Ji Yuan had heard her, he began to laugh weakly. “Haha…next time, next time. I’m a little tired today…”
“Oh? You didn’t seem to do much today, Great Saint Ji Yuan.” Ling Feiyue swiftly interrupted him.
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, “I may be a great saint but it doesn’t mean that I am not tired…”
“The two of you seem to be much closer now.” Ling Feiyue suddenly suggested.
JI Yuan laughed it off by grabbing Ling Feiyue’s hands, “I am suddenly not tired anymore. Haha…”
Feng Minyue purposely displayed a weak smile, “You should go with Sister Ling and…enjoy yourself.”
Ling Feiyue was suddenly giggling delightfully much to the displeasure of Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng who were watching them nearby.
Ji Yuan purposefully coughed aloud, “Ahem! I am going to do some patrolling nearby. As the only man in the party, I have the duty to patrol day and night to assure the safety of our party against the wicked monstrous geniuses of the Celestial Realm.”
“Well said!” Ling Feiyue had already grabbed Ji Yuan and was pulling him away.
The Great Beyond Goddess had suddenly interrupted them, “The two of you are not going anyway. Stay where you are.”
Ling Feiyue scoffed, “Where we are going is none of your business…”
“Indeed it is none of my business.” The Great Beyond Goddess said as she pointed in their opposite direction. “But there is a powerful cultivator that is approaching our way. And to our back, there are another two powerful cultivators. So do you want to leave the party just yet?”
Ling Feiyue and Ji Yuan were both alarmed as they tried to look in the direction of where the Great Beyond Goddess was pointing.
Even Feng Minyue was no exception.
Bai Qianfeng said all of a sudden, “She is right. There is indeed three cultivators coming from two directions. They may not know each other but they are certainly aware of us. They are not weak.”
Yun Chi displayed a nonchalant look before adding, “It seems to me that they have a scrying artefact in their hands. Therefore their divine sense to sense cultivators are many times ahead of us.”
Ji Yuan was growling immediately, “It seems that the first cultivator in that direction will be the first to arrive. As for the other two cultivators in that direction, I can’t sense them yet.”
Feng Minyue nodded after she had displayed her divine sense, “He isn’t suppressing his cultivation profound aura. At least that is a good news.”
But Ji Yuan said instead, “We may not know if that is his true cultivation strength either. Therefore we ough to exercise caution!”
Ling Feiyue smiled weakly, “Ji Yuan, aren’t you a little too cautious sometimes? We have Sister Qianfeng here. Do we need to fear anyone? Moreover…”
She had turned to look at Yun Chi and the Great Beyond Goddess, “Moreover…we have two monsters here.”
Yun Chi’s upper mask almost fell down before she composed herself to say with a soft laugh, “I am not a monster. You mean the other one?”
Ji Yuan laughed weakly…
He had wanted to say that she was a monster in all aspects but he had thought that it was wiser to keep his mouth shut instead.
However the Great Beyond Goddess knew exactly what he was thinking but she merely smiled.
It was not long before the lone cultivator had arrived.
He was a bearded cultivator and had a powerful build. On his back, there was even a heaven-step divine sword!
Ji Yuan had immediately recognized him as having coming from the Divine Steppe Fraternity, as indicated by his clothing.
He was all smiles as he displayed a greeting toward this new cultivator, “Fellow Brethren Cultivator, Ji Yuan from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity greets you!”
The Divine Steppe Fraternity was a celestial fraternity that shared the same tradition as the Desolate Celestial Fraternity and they all had a beard tradition.
That was the very reason why Ji Yuan was instantly friendly toward this new stranger!
But the bearded cultivator growled when he saw Ji Yuan and even gave off a disdainful look when he saw Ling Feiyue. “I am from the Great Martial Sect of the Divine Steppe Fraternity, one of the six major orthodox clans in my celestial fraternity. I do not mix with any unorthodox cultivators or any beardless eunuch.”
Ji Yuan’s expression had suddenly turned ugly, “Who are you saying a beardless eunuch?!”
Ling Feiyue had also displayed a disdainful countenance as she disliked the self-righteous cultivator the most. So she could not resist fanning the fire, “Dark Lord Ji Yuan, who else but my lord here who can be called a beardless eunuch here?”
The bearded cultivator immediately stared at Ji Yuan, “So you are also a Dark Lord and her lord. You are an unorthodox cultivator!”
Ji Yuan answered coldly, “So what if I am? So what if I am not?”
The bearded cultivator had suddenly displayed his heaven-step divine sword, “While it is common for all cultivators regardless of alignments to pause in their feuds in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth but if my enemy crosses my path, I will not be so kind as to show any mercies.”
Then he turned to look at the rest of Ji Yuan’s party. “Is there any one of you here who is an orthodox cultivator?”
Feng Minyue smiled coldly, “I am.”
The bearded cultivator immediately smiled as Feng Minyue was really a lofty and alluring maiden, “Maiden, do not fear and stand behind me. I am Du Qingming, a great saint and I can protect you!”
He had immediately displayed his profound aura to match that of a great saint who was in the initial cultivation realm!
He was very sure that this maiden would be very impressed by him and even joined hands with him!
𝒪𝓋𝐋xt.𝕔𝒐𝔪
Ji Yuan returned a disinterested look as he said, “Actually I am orthodox cultivator too…”
But before he could finish, Du Qingming had suddenly attacked him with his heaven-step divine sword!
Ji Yuan growled as he evaded the attack at the same time. “Is this the way of the righteous orthodox cultivators to attack while a person’s guard is down?”
Du Qingming answered, “Not against an unorthodox cultivator such as you and especially not when I am outnumbered…”
But all of a sudden he had frozen on his spot as Ji Yuan had displayed his peaked great saint profound aura!
He was three steps ahead of him and their cultivation realm’s disparity was like the heavens and the earth!
Du Qingming was shocked; he had good intelligence about the Desolate Celestial Fraternity before he had entered the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and he had not heard that there was an unorthodox peaked great saint in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity!
But he quickly composed himself; it was because he still had his heaven-step divine sword and his opponent did not seem to have a sword. With his sect’s sword art and heaven-step divine sword, surely he would be able to overcome this power cultivator.
A battle of two great saints were about to occur and this was going to be really earth shaking!
Ji Yuan said, “You are a great saint and I am also a great saint. But in terms of cultivation strength, I am above you!”
Du Qingming nodded coolly, “If you have a single shred of honor then you shall accept my challenge.”
Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes before he laughed, “Do you think that I am someone that will back off from a challenge?”
Du Qingming pointed to the Great Beyond Goddess, Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng. “And your friends won’t interfere in our duel?”
Ji Yuan answered, “Naturally they won’t.”
Du Qingming was suddenly smiling. He had tricked this unorthodox cultivator into giving him a leeway and he was about to put his disadvantage into an advantage and his advantage into advantageous use!
Bai Qianfeng hummed coldly, “If you can defeat Ji Yuan then we will allow you to duel us one by one.”
Du Qingming laughed, “I am afraid that after I’ve defeated this Ji Yuan, none of you will have the courage to duel with me.”
“You’re looking down upon us?” Bai Qianfeng stared coldly at Du Qingming.
Her sudden cold stares had given Du Qingming a deadly shiver!
Du Qingming did not know where this sudden shiver had come from.
Bai Qianfeng slowly said, “This Ji Yuan is the weakest great saint here. If you are able to defeat him then it will be our turn to grant you a quick death.”
Du Qingming was stunned: what?! They are all great saints and Ji Yuan is actually the weakest?!
All of a sudden he had discovered that his so call advantage was not so advantageous after all…
Ling Feiyue was smiling weakly: it is not entirely the truth. I am weaker than Ji Yuan but the rest are all peaked great saints and they are all stronger than Ji Yuan in some ways. Even Maiden Feng Minyue is comparable to Ji Yuan…
Ji Yuan said coldly, “Why is your attention on the others? We have a duel that is on-going, am I not right to say so? Because this is a duel, I should make my formal introduction first…”
He then displayed his saint-step divine sword from his spatial storage and coolly said, “I am Great Saint Ji Yuan, a peaked great saint and also a sword saint. My weapon of choice is naturally my sword.”
Du Qingming was completely rendered speechless. His opponent was not only a peaked great saint and he had also a saint-step divine sword?! Even if he was the son of the heavens, how was he going to win this duel?!
But the duel had already started!
Du Qingming said not so eagerly, “I’ve taken three thousand years to reach the great saint level. You are just an old freak in a young body. Do you think you should give me a few free attacks first?”
Ji Yuan looked a little astonished as he looked at Du Qingming. “Three thousand years?!”
Du Qingming was actually quite proud of his achievements. His celestial clan had given him all the cultivation resources that were necessary and he was extremely proud that he was able to become a great saint when he was three thousand years.
Ji Yuan was suddenly rolling in laughter and he was almost in tears, “Hoho… muhahaha… three thousand years… I took just 500 years to become a peaked great saint and Maiden Ling Feiyue here is just three hundred years old great saintess. Isn’t that a little too long?”
Du Qingming was stunned and was rendered completely speechless.
500 years? 300 years? This is completely impossible!
Is this a ruse or something?
But Ji Yuan continued to say as he created an opening, “If you don’t believe, I can allow your divine sense to examine my skeleton age. Muhahaha…”
Qu Qingming was not one who would be fooled so easily or else he would not be a great saint. Therefore he had reached into Ji Yuan’s profound aura and was dismayed to discover that Ji Yuan was really 500 years old.
Once again, he was left completely stunned…
Ji Yuan taunted Qu Qingming, “Why are you so slow in your cultivation? Is your celestial mountain poor in spiritual seas?”
Qu Qingming did not know whether he could laugh or cry now, having offended such a lofty cultivator…
But Ji Yuan was not actually feeling all the pleased. It was because 3000 years was indeed a rapid cultivation ascension.
As for Ji Yuan, his cultivation progression was actually quite slow and painful. If it was not for his forceful cultivation into the golden saint seventh realm, he would still be a sixth realm golden supremacy today. Moreover he had owned Diviner Mo Ming a billion high grade spiritual stones for using the Dream Trial. He had been really lucky inside and this caused his cultivation realm to balloon.
But how on earth was he going to repay that one billion high grade spiritual stones?!
Diviner Mo Ming had reminded him that to take care of Mo Bei and his clan while inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. This was the only way to lessen the repayments of his debts…
But sometimes he had felt like kicking Mo Bei…but that was another story.
Ling Feiyue was too embarrassed to admit that she was some heavenly genius. She had become a great saintess due to Ji Yuan’s help and they had found the Sacred Saint Profound Art.
And naturally she had Bai Qianfeng’s help as well.
Bai Qianfeng brushed her long silver hair aside as her peerless look seemed to pierce through to Qu Qingming, “Why aren’t you starting the duel yet? I believe that Ji Yuan is willing to give you the benefit of the first strike.”
Qu Qingming nodded reluctantly before he shouted loudly, displaying his profound might “This is my ultimate profound art. Even if you are a peaked great saint, you may not be able to receive my profound attack…”
There was a brilliant flash of light as the profound energies from Qu Qingming burst into the vicinity…
Ji Yuan was actually rendered speechless; it was because the profound energies were only a distraction and Qu Qingming had run away like a hare and he was shouting, “I just remember that I’ve something on…”
Yun Chi had suddenly spoken up, “Aren’t you going to chase and kill him?”
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, “He is just a minor character. We need him as one of the three thousands cultivators to trigger the final trial.”
“Or you have consumed plenty of your soul sea in your great battle earlier in the valley?” Teased Yun Chi.
Ji Yuan and Feng Minyue were all suddenly looking awkwardly!
Ji Yuan quickly protested, “I am saving my profound strength for our next battle with the other two cultivators. Didn’t you say that there are two of them?”
Yun Chi smiled, “It seems to me that they do not have any good intentions and they are not easy to deal with.”
Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes, “Usually in cultivation stories, the main hero will be meditating at the back and he will make his last appearance. Why is that I seem to be making the first move all the time?”
Yun Chi laughed, “That is because you are not the main hero. I am.”
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan was about to protest when he heard Anyang said to him, “Your cultivation realm is indeed lower than her. So it is better for her to be the one who is meditating and be the main hero.”
Xiang Li agreed, “Indeed!”
Ji Yuan: …
Which side are the two of you on?!
