After a while, the Smiling Divine Maiden and the short old man had composed themselves.
The short old man sighed heavily as he handed the memory stone to the Smiling Divine Maiden, "Lixue, this belongs to your mother consort. You deserve to keep this more than me…"
For the very first time, Chu Lixue the Smiling Divine Maiden had dared to look straight into the eyes of the short old man and for the very first time, her alluring voice was earnest. "Father… thank you…"
The short old man rubbed his old shimmering tears from his old face, "I've always thought of you as my daughter because you are my Chu Xueren's daughter. That is why I have to bring you back no matter what. It is just that I don't know… how to face you and your mother consort because I am too thick skin to admit that I love her more than anything…"
The Smiling Divine Maiden shook her head woefully, "It is my fault too. It is because I had insisted on learning your profound skills in the past and when you had refused to teach me, I was really upset…"
She had suddenly turned to look at Ji Yuan with a soft chuckle, "You can keep your lewd skills to your son-in-law instead."
Ji Yuan: ???
What is so lewd about the Yang Invincible Profound Arts?
The Smiling Divine Maiden gently took the memory stone to her bosoms as she muttered, "Mother consort…"
Then she smiled faintly but her tears had continued to flow, "Let's go inside the trial now."
The short old man nodded as he hastily walked in front without a word.
Ji Yuan followed his old master as he chuckled, "Old man, are you crying? Don't be shy…"
The old man had suddenly punched Ji Yuan hard with his profound strength of the seventh cultivation realm.
Ji Yuan was left aching with great pain as he cursed softly, "Old man, you are serious this time… ouch…"
Ling Feiyue kicked Ji Yuan's foot as she walked past him, "Serve you right!"
Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress were by the side of the Smiling Divine Maiden as they tried their best to make her smile.
As Bai Qianfeng walked past Ji Yuan, she had also kicked him. "Serve you right too."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes as he shrugged his shoulders to continue…
At the end of this hall was a shimmering blue portal and this was where the exact trial would start.
The seven of them bade one another a forlorn farewell before they stepped into this shimmering blue portal.
Ji Yuan was actually trying to lighten the mood because he had no idea whether he would survive this trial or not.
Every trial was a challenge and every trial had their own risks.
Ji Yuan soon found himself in another place; the forests here were really towering and the spiritual force here was really rich.
All of a sudden, he was startled; it was because there were two types of rich cultivation auras in this place; both the desolate and spiritual auras were extremely rich in this place!
His curiosity had immediately spiked; why did this place have two types of cultivation auras?
So far, this place did not look dangerous, right?
As he continued to walk, all of a sudden, he spotted five cultivators fighting against a big sized red humanoid and it had horns.
Even the cultivators look a bit weird to him because they did not have golden eyes and they don't even wear robes which were like the common attire in the Celestial Realm. Instead, they worn just a tunic and pants, which looked weird in Ji Yuan's eyes.
Ji Yuan did not wait to see the outcome of this battle but he had immediately flashed forward with his trusty Xiang Li the saintly divine sword and he had instantly sliced the red monster humanoid into two halves.
All of a sudden Ji Yuan found out that he got an invisible 5 points.
His golden eyes began to roll at this miserable 5 points.
How many points are required to be recorded in the Hall of Valhalla?
Is it 100 000 points?
The 'five cultivators' were shocked at Ji Yuan's martial display and they were all looking at him weirdly but they were soon looking at him with great delight.
"You are a great golden celestial! Thank you for helping us to kill this red fiend. We are in your debts. Hero, do you mind coming to our village?" One of the cultivators took the initiative to say. "I am Long Hu. We are not bad guys."
Ji Yuan laughed, "I didn't say you are the bad guys. Hmm, am I in the mortal realm?"
He had said that because he seemed to be the only golden celestial here.
Long Hu said wearily for the battle earlier with the red fiend had drained him quite badly, "Great Golden Celestial, you are in the Demonic Outer World."
Ji Yuan: ???
Long Hu explained as he saw Ji Yuan's perplexed look, "The Demonic Outer World have many strong demonic cultivators as well as desolate monsters. Legend had it that every 500 years, golden celestials from another divine realm will come here to be our salvation. So it is true after all."
Ji Yuan said bitterly, "This Demonic Outer World has erm… demonic cultivators? As in what demonic cultivators?"
Long Hu blinked his eyes and said, "The red fiend that you have killed earlier is a low level demonic cultivator. The demonic races come in many forms and many of them have the ability to transform. My village is just one of the few places that are still free from the demonic races influence and we depend on you to save us from the demonic races."
Ji Yuan looked a little stunned before he asked with a blank look, "Erm, village? You don't have a celestial clan here?"
Long Hu smiled bitterly, "How is it possible for us to have a celestial clan when this divine realm is ruled by the demonic races? We humanity is but ants in this place. On the other hand, this place is ruled by the Dark Phantom Citadel. It is the demonic powerhouse of this place."
Ji Yuan rolled his eyes and he wanted to bang his head now; now he had to kill the demonic cultivators for his 100 000 points…
All of a sudden Long Hu had kneeled in front of him and so did the other 4 men behind him, "May Great Golden Celestial has mercy on us and bestow upon us your golden talismans in order to escape from this Demonic Outer World!"
Ji Yuan: ...
I have only 2 golden tailsmans and I am definitely not going to give them to you...
