Chapter 756 Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao Is Truly Pissed Off
Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, 6th level.
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao, Shen Qin, Li Ye and Guo Taiming had all managed to reach the 6th level of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and they looked pleased.
At least that was when they had first stepped foot on the 6th level.
Right now, Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was looking a little pissed off and for the right reasons.
It was because of a prelude trial on the 6th level to obtain the Pangu Key in order to enter the Inner Pangu Citadel for the final trial.
This prelude trial required her to go to the lower mortal realm and to help the mortal cultivators there.
And she had failed numerous times.
Luckily for her, the flow of time was much slower in the mortal realm than here or else her trial would have already ended.
Li Ye, Shen Qin and Guo Taiming had actually finished earlier and they were patiently waiting her and they were laughing aloud. “This is easy. I love to do good deeds in the lower mortal realm. Maiden Ding Xiaoxiao must really be unlucky in her trial.”
This was awkward to Ding Xiaoxiao’s face since she was reluctant to do any good deeds but she was being forced to, in order to obtain the Pangu Key.
Without this Pangu Key, no one can enter the Inner Pangu Citadel.
But this was not the real reason why she had been so pissed.
There was another reason why she had also been pissed was because they had to take a cultivation examination in the inner Pangu Citadel before they could be allowed into the final trial.
And she had failed miserably.
She was a demonic cultivator and not a celestial cultivator; how the heck did she knows about most of the celestial cultivation questions?
And this compulsory cultivation examination was pissing her off and she felt like killing someone.
Unfortunately for her, there were some 100 000 golden celestials taking the cultivation examinations at the same time as well and she decided to restraint herself.
Shen Qin, Li Ye and Guo Taiming were also looking a little pissed off as well even though they were all celestial cultivators.
And they found out that there were many that had taken this cultivation examination multiple times.
Luckily for them, they soon found out that almost all the cultivators that were taking this cultivation examination were all cheating. It was just a matter who got lucky enough to cheat and who got unlucky to be caught.
After trying out several times, the 4 of them joined a Cheaters Group to learn the art of cheating and to display subtle clues to one another.
There were naturally many Cheaters Groups in this place because almost everyone was also cheating.
And each time someone graduates from this trial, the core strength of this group becomes weaker and they had to find someone for an answer.
The Cheater Group that Ding Xiaoxiao, Shen Qin, Li Ye and Guo Taiming had joined naturally welcome them, expecting them to give them a new insights on the answers.
However, the four of them turned out to be extremely weak in their cultivation studies.
Ding Xiaoxiao, Li Ye and Guo Taiming blamed it all on Shen Qin who was a saint from a renowned unorthodox celestial sect and they were expecting him to do better than them in a cultivation examination.
But unfortunately, he turned out to be a good-for-nothing cultivator who never studied for his cultivation examination.
And they all got screwed.
After failing for numerous times, a new group of scholarly celestials had joined their Cheater Group. Now this new group was more capable and they helped everyone to pass.
By now, Ding Xiaoxiao, Shen Qin, Li Ye and Guo Taiming had all become so good in cheating during the cultivation examinations that they were able to read one another’s subtle expressions.
Li Ye muttered weakly, “We have finally passed this cultivation examination. Now we can move on to the final trial.”
Shen Qin was also heaving a soft sign of relief, “Finally!”
Guo Taiming turned to look at Ding Xiaoxiao and he was smiling, “It seems that Maiden Ding is really a weak cultivator and she needs our help to reach the final trial.”
Ding Xiaoxiao: …
Ding Xiaoxiao: …
Ding Xiaoxiao: …
But again, this was also not the main reason why she had been completely pissed off.
The real reason why she was so pissed was because after these two trials, she had to take another trial again to obtain a Key of Righteous to enter into the final trial.
And she had failed again.
But luckily for her, these 3 trials were not a one-time trial and she was allowed to retake as many times as she wanted until she passed it.
And Shen Qin, Li Ye and Guo Taiming once again gave her some tips to overcome her trials when they had passed this trial.
They did not fail as many times as her.
Li Ye actually completed this trial when he had taken it for the very first time while Guo Taiming and Shen Qin both failed many times but not as many times as Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao.
Li Ye sighed, “Maiden Xiao is really a noob and a low level golden celestial. I can see why she keeps failing…”
Shen Qin was also sighing, “Even for a golden saint, it is still hard to reach the 6th level of this trial. I think I am pretty good now after reaching the 6th level for the first time.”
Guo Taiming was also laughing, “Actually this is my first time too and I’ve reached the 6th level. I am so impressedby myself. I am betting that Ji Yuan is probably far behind us. You guys don’t know him well. He is extremely slow with the trials and he likes to take his own sweet time to check every single crack in the walls for clues. And also, he likes to talk too much like a maiden. That is the reason why I don’t like to take the trials with him.”
Li Ye laughed weakly, “Maiden Ding Xiaoxiao is a maiden of few words. But frankly speaking, I feel quite proud of making it through the 6th level. I was actually told that due to my cultivation realm, I’ll be lucky if I can reach the 4th level. I just need more of the replenishing Iron Tendons profound pills.”𝒪𝗏𝑙xt.𝗇𝓔t
Shen Qin nodded, “Me too. It seems that profound pills that can replenish profound strength are highly valued inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. I was quite lucky to obtain some as my reward in the last trial.”
Guo Taiming agreed with Shen Qin, “Brother Shen Qin. We are depending on your Iron Tendons profound pills now. In this place, we cannot buy new profound pills and I have already finished all my profound pills.”
Shen Qin laughed, “Don’t worry. Just depend on me. I’ve actually heard that once we are in the 6th level, the profound treasures here will be so much better than the lower levels. Don’t worry, you guys will soon get your cultivation occurrences!”
He added, “Darn. This Key of Righteousness is so hard. I am an unorthodox cultivator… I hope Maiden Ding Xiaoxiao is able to complete this. I’ve faked my righteousness in order to complete this trial.”
Guo Taiming muttered, “I am an orthodox cultivator but I’ve failed so many times as well. This trial of Righteous is too frustrating. At times, I hope that all the men in my kingdom would die and I could have all the maidens.”
Shen Qin laughed weakly, “Exactly. That is what I was thinking too. Hahahaha…”
And the three men began to laugh weakly.
This time round Ding Xiaoxiao managed to pass the trial but there was a look of unpleasantness in her eyes.
She was really quite pissed off and had suppressed her anger.
Finally, she had obtained the Key of Righteous and a red portal had appeared.
Although she was quite pissed off, she had restrained from killing these 3 men off because they have been helping her for the past 3 trials.
When she had failed this Trial of Righteous, Li Ye did not go alone to the final trial but he had waited for everyone and helped everyone to find the golden portal to restart the trial in the maze here.
It was really hard to find a golden portal considered that there were now thousands of golden celestials that were searching for one in the maze at the same time.
But these 3 celestial men had patiently waited for her.
She forced herself to smile, “Let’s go to the final trial now.”
When they had entered through the red portal to the final trial area, they had entered a vast waiting area and were informed by the Trial Spirit that the portal to the final area was now opened.
They were given a golden talisman each and were told that this golden talisman is able to able to help them to exit a trial to a nearby location and it can also replenish their profound strength. But if they encounter something dangerous outside the trial then this golden talisman will send them to the the start of the final trial and they will have to start all over again.
They were then bade good fortunes for the final trial by the Trial Spirit.
Once inside they were inside the final trial portal, they saw that there were already thousands of golden celestials that were camping around.
These golden celestials were the ones that have lost their golden talismans and were forced to restart at the start of the final trial but they did not want to give up so easily.
So they were either trying to buy a golden talisman off another cultivator by offering profound treasures or they were trying to look for a big group to raid the trials of the final trial together.
Some were simply trying to sell information about the trials that they had found by acting mysterious. Some of the trial information are true, some are not.
When the thousands of celestials saw this new group, many were thinking of trying to trick them into giving up their golden talismans or through bullying.
It was because this group looked a little weak especially Guo Taiming and Li Ye, who looked like a poor cultivator.
Shen Qin saw them and he said to them, “Dang! There are so many thousands of them. Why are they here and not doing their trials? But fear not, my blessed brothers and sisters of the heavens, I am a holy saint of a powerful unorthodox celestial sect. Just tell them that you are with me and there is nothing that we can be afraid of.”
Ding Xiaoxiao had suddenly said, “The first one that is coming our way is a great saint.”
Shen Qin had suddenly turned pale and so did Li Ye and Guo Taiming…
They had also sensed the profound animus of a great saint that was fast approaching them and they were the nearest of the many groups of celestials that had just entered the final trial.
Holy! Great Saint! They can’t win against him, much less the thousands of celestials that were also looking in their direction.
Shen Qin suggested weakly, “We should run… he don’t look too friendly.”
Li Ye nodded, “Totally agree with you.”
Guo Taiming said, “I am preparing to use my golden talisman to to run and to replenish my profound strength already. You know, just in case he is really an unfriendly celestial…”
Behind them were actually also several dozens of golden celestials that had also just entered or newly arrived in the final trial and many were saying, “We should all flee into the forest and the desert ahead of us first. It is obvious that they are camping for us…”
“Maybe they just want to do some trading with us?”
“There can’t be so many thousands of unfriendly celestials right?”
“Maybe they are just trying to protect us from the others?”
“Anyway, I don’t wish to know about their intentions…”
“I was here 500 years ago. I can tell you that they are after our golden talisman. They are only here because they have lost their golden talisman to someone else or they have used it up. We need to hurry and flee from them. Without the golden talismans, they can’t explore the dangerous trials inside…”
The great saint that was way ahead of the thousands of golden celestials in the vicinity was smiling coldly and he had raised his profound voice to shout aloud as he sped across the canyons, “Darn it! The Trial Spirit always ensure that she spawns the newcomers away from us. But unfortunately, I am a great saint and I happen to be nearest to you. I am not greedy. Just surrender me a golden talisman from one of you and I will be happy to go away.”
He was actually smart enough not to obtain more than 1 golden talisman or else he would have become the target of all the other golden celestials.
All of a sudden Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao had flashed to the great saint at an impossible great speed and she had knocked him down the canyon with a just a blow from her scabbard.
She had been holding back her anger for some time and she wanted to kill someone or anyone now.
All the onlookers were gasping with shock: …
All the onlookers were stunned: …
All the onlookers were gasping that it was but a blow: …
Because they were so far, they could not tell what Ding Xiaoxiao’s true cultvation was or else they would be shocked that she had just displayed her profound strength to the peaked 8th immortal positioning.
While a cultivator can display their profound aura to warn the others of their cultivation strength. But when a cultivator is using one’s own internal profound power instead, the other cultivators must be nearby in order to use their divine sense to gauge the cultivation strength of their opponent.
That was why none of them could tell the cultivation strength of Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao.
