3 days had quickly passed.
Ji Yuan and his group had finally found a new trial area in the towering mountains.
They did not waste their profound strength to fight any of the desolate monsters or dark creatures in the vicinity.
And they were also lucky enough to avoid getting ambushed by the many dark denizens that haunted the vicinity as well.
The trial area was located on a platform and there was an inertia barrier around it that prevented the desolate monsters from approaching.
You can say that the trial area was the only safe place in the entire Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth from its dangerous denizens. However, the dangers may come from the other celestial cultivators that are camping at the trial safe zones.
Right now, there were close to 300 celestial cultivators that were camping around this trial area. These celestials were naturally all high level cultivators and there were even many old freaks that were at the epitome in their celestial fraternities.
Naturally when they saw Ji Yuan and his group, they had a look of welcome in their golden eyes because they lacked the numbers to start the trial.
However, many of the celestial cultivators were smiling lecherously when they saw the many alluring and moving veiled maidens in Ji Yuan's group; not all the cultivators were orthodox cultivators and even the orthodox cultivators were lustfully looking in the direction where Ji Yuan was.
Veil or no veil, these maidens were all extreme beauties.
One of the celestials, had taken a disdain look at Ji Yuan and his group and was heard muttering, "Do they have to travel in such a big group for protection? Cowards."
But he quickly stepped forward as he rubbed his short beard to smile, "Hurry up and touch the black stele in the middle of the platform. We need 300 cultivators to touch this black stele in order to open the trial. Your group has managed to come in a nick of time."
Ji Yuan laughed jovially when he saw the short beard cultivator and he went ahead of the others, "I am Ji Yuan from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity…"
"Did you just say you are from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity?" The short bearded cultivator began to frown before he laughed. "Then where is your beard?"
Ji Yuan: …
He hated it when the others mentioned about his beard when he had no beard…
So he rudely said, "Brethren Brother Cultivator, you seem to have forgotten to make your introduction. Do you know the rules of the Celestial Realm?"
The short bearded cultivator hummed coldly in return, "Great Saint Xi Huangdi!"
Ji Yuan hummed with equal coldness, "You know. I don't have any fondness with any cultivators that have the family clan name of Xi."
Xi Huangdi rebuked Ji Yuan angrily, "I am a great saint. Where are your celestial manners?"
Many of the celestials that were behind Xi Huangdi were secretly mocking Ji Yuan for not knowing the celestial rules of the Celestial Realm. This type of cultivator is usually the first to be killed for offending the other celestial cultivators.
Ji Yuan laughed aloud as he patted his old rugged robe, "You have better believe it. I am Great Saint Ji Yuan as well as Sword Saint Ji Yuan. Haha…"
The maidens that were behind Ji Yuan was quietly whispering awkwardly among themselves: We ought to buy Ji Yuan some decent cultivation robe. He is just a disgrace in his old robe…
Even the White Sword Monarch that was far behind Ji Yuan had a look of awkwardness when his core disciple Ji Yuan was being mocked by hundreds of celestial cultivators.
He began to mutter weakly: It is all my fault that I have never brought him any decent cultivation robe in the past and now he is addicted to his old robe…
Xi Huangdi took a mocking look at the old and broken robe that was on Ji Yuan before he laughed, "You are just a poor cultivator that tries to seek your lucky occurrence in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. I am just surprised that you are able to make it to the final trial."
Ji Yuan hummed coldly, "Lucky?! Haha… if you know how many times that I have ranked number 1 in the trial, you would surely eat the dirt in this place. Haha…"
Xi Huangdi laughed jovially, "Oh really?"
He took out a cultivation profound treasure and dared Ji Yuan, "Do you dare to touch this orb?"
Ji Yuan laughed aloud as he touched the orb, "See I've touched it! Why shouldn't I dare to touch this orb? Haha…"
Xi Huangdi smirked with mocking laughter in his golden eyes, "This orb will reveal if you are telling the truth. Green for the truth and red for the untruth."
Ji Yuan was startled but he was also intrigued by this cultivation profound treasure, "This cultivation profound treasure is so interesting. You plan to give it to me?"
Xi Huangdi: …
Give it to you? Fat hope!
But he replied instead, "You say you are first in many of the trials. So I want you to know what is the result of your last trial."
Ji Yuan smiled weakly, "Number 1 of course…"
The orb was suddenly flashing red.
"What the heck?!" Ji Yuan was startled.
Xi Huangdi hummed coldly, "Now tell me honestly. Are you at the bottom of your ranking in the last trial? Yes or no?"
Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "No, of course…"
Once again, the orb began to flash a bright red.
Ji Yuan: …
He muttered, "Then, yes?"
All of a sudden, the orb began to flash a bright green.
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Xi Huangdi laughed in a mocking manner, "There is nothing truthful about you. Just a quick check and I know how weak your cultivation foundation is. I don't want to waste my time with you. Hurry and touch the black stele. Can't you see that we are all waiting for your group to start the trial?"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
All of a sudden, a most coquettish looking maiden with a beautiful vixen look had flashed next to Xi Huangdi and Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan was startled to see that it was actually Maiden Hua Yunzi…
He had suddenly remembered he had a wet dream about her just before she had quietly left his group while they were in the Demonic Divine Realm.
Hua Yunzi looked equally awkward when she was looking at Ji Yuan but she quickly said coldly to Xi Huangdi, "Leave Great Saint Ji Yuan alone. He is indeed a great saint. Both of you are great saints. It will be a tough fight between the two of you…"
Both Ji Yuan and Xi Huangdi immediately protested at the same time, "I will surely kick his ass…"
Xi Huangdi hummed coldly but not before leaving with a stern warning, "Don't let me see you inside the trial or you will surely regret it."
Ji Yuan did something crude and pointed his middle finger behind Xi Huangdi.
This stunned all the celestials that were looking in his direction.
But Ji Yuan pretended that he did nothing of this sort and quickly looked the other way at Hua Yunzi, "Maiden Hua Yunzi, why are you here?"
Hua Yunzi quickly said with a look of panic in her golden eyes, "Don't be mistaken. I did not follow you or Little Princess. I just happen to be here to take the trial here."
This was the truth.
Ji Yuan laughed weakly as he stared down at Hua Yunzi's bosoms; he was not even paying attention to what she was saying just a moment ago.
