Outside the trial portal of this SS Spirit Trial, somewhere near it.
A cultivator had been thrown onto the hard ground and he was gasping for breath but there was a relief in his golden eyes.
It was because he had used his golden talisman to save his own life in order to escape from the trial that was in the Spirit Divine Realm.
There was a bitterness in his golden eyes because he was not being attacked by a divine consort or her female followers but it was actually an old golden celestial that was the one that had secretly attacked him.
To that old golden celestial, he was just a young and handsome so he was a competitor in winning the trust of the divine consort that they were serving.
He wanted to return to this paradise again but he was only given one chance and he had no more golden talisman anymore.
He could now only look for other trials or go back to the beginning of the final trial.
But he was too far from the beginning and his only safe option was to look for a cave and stay there until the trial was finally over.
He had remembered that he had almost been killed 3 times by the numerous powerful desolate monsters that patrolled the final trial. But each time, he was lucky that there were always some foolish courageous celestials that decided to fight the powerful desolate monsters instead of fleeing like he did.
He was wounded now but it was not that serious as he staggered to find a hiding place to recuperate first. Although he was wounded but his profound strength had been regained by the use of the golden talisman and he could quickly recover from his wounds in just a matter of days when he was able to cultivate.
Luckily for him, when a cultivator has failed a trial inside a trial portal by using the golden talisman, they will not be sent to the entrance of the portal where they may be ambushed by the other celestial cultivators who may lie there in wait for the wounded and the unlucky cultivators.
Instead, they would be sent to a random location that was miles away from the trial portal.
All of a sudden two extraordinary beautiful maidens, one with a white veil over her silver hair and another with an upper golden mask but with rosy cherry lips had suddenly appeared in front of him.
He was startled for he did not know if they were friends or foes.
But he had naturally recognized them because he had recognized them to be with the same group as that Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan.
These two maidens were indeed the veiled Bai Qianfeng and the masked Yun Chi.
Yun Chi was smiling, "Unfortunately for you, you have triggered one of our numerous defensive arrays when you have landed here and your presence alerts us to you."
This cultivator immediately raised his divine sword with a loud yell as he charged to attack them, "Hehe, you have no idea how strong I am even if I looked wounded. My profound strength has already been recovered by the use of the trial's golden talisman and I am a middle saint…"
But before he could charge at them, Bai Qianfeng had suddenly flashed to him and had slammed him down onto the ground with her fingers on his back.
This cultivator was stunned as he tried to get up, "Peaked great saintess?! No good. I must flee…"
But before he could get up, Bai Qianfeng had used her leg to crush onto his back and there was a loud profound explosion around him that seemingly cracked his back.
This cultivator simply could not believe that a peaked great saintess could actually cause damage to his golden body with a kick. It is because he himself is a power cultivator and is also a middle saint.
Except against a more powerful cultivator, his profound aura would protect him from most crucial damage and most kicks would not be able to hurt him. Like defense cultivators, power cultivators are mostly impervious to most normal blows and he did not sense that this maiden was using any powerful profound art.
Bai Qianfeng was smiling to the cultivator, "Are you thinking that you can actually run away from us?"
This cultivator hummed coldly, "You can kill me but you cannot humiliate me. By the Great God Pangu, I will be a hero again in 18 years' time!"
Yun Chi smiled wryly, "You can forget about being a hero in 18 years' time because we didn't say we want to kill you or to humiliate you."
This cultivator looked a little surprise, "You are not?"
Yun Chi added with another wry smile, "Of course not unless you dare to lie to us. We are just finishing for some information and you're the third cultivator to have fallen into our hands. So, we want to know if your information is the same as the others. Then we will let you go. Simple as that."
This was a lie of course; this cultivator was actually the first one that they had captured and he was petty unlucky since they could not setup so many defensive arrays for miles around this vicinity.
Bai Qianfeng gave him another kick, "Do you understand or not?"
This cultivator quickly said, "As long as you are willing to give me a chance to live, I'd be willing to tell you what I have known."
Bai Qianfeng and Yun Chi both nodded slowly before they dragged him up.
This cultivator was suddenly startled when he saw that they were actually 'flying' with their profound animus.
He was suddenly panicking because it was obvious to him that either they were extreme spirit cultivators or they were immortal cultivators.
Their seventh realm cultivation realm profound auras were simply too strong than most peaked seventh realm sacred saints that he had ever seen.
Soon he was dropped ceremonially in front of several celestial cultivators and they were Mo Bei, Qin Shuang, Yu Jingjing, Yang Mi, Little Princess, Feng Minyue and the White Sword Monarch.
Yun Chi said to the cultivator coldly, "Now tell us what you know about the trial inside. Not a word of falsehood or you know the consequences."
When Yun Chi had threatened him, this cultivator could feel that his entire body was shaking nonstop and he did not know why.
As he knows that there were 2 other cultivators that were in front of him that had already provided the information of the trial to them, he dared not lie to them.
So, he started to tell them what he knows about this trial which was the Spirit Divine Realm and all that he knows.
It had nearly been 20 days inside the trial or 2 days had passed. In another 5 days or 50 days inside, this trial would have ended.
This cultivator began to recount what he knows inside.
And of course, he also mentioned that Ji Yuan had become a Great Spiritas Hero while he was there and he was also a personal guard of honor for the Goddess Ai Tina.
Now this cultivator knows that Ji Yuan was in their group so he panicky added, "I have no feud with Hero Ji Yuan. In fact, I am quite sympathetic when that Xi Huangdi had challenged him that day…"
But Yun Chi quickly dismissed him, "Enough of your buttering. You may go now."
And this cultivator began to flee as quickly as possible before this group of cultivators decided to change their minds.
Yun Chi asked them quietly, "What do you think of this trial?"
She had suddenly noticed that the faces of Yang Mi, Yu Jingjing, Qin Shuang, Mo Bei and even the White Sword Monarch were looking flustered now.
Yang Mi said with a trembling voice, "These spiritas maidens are wearing so revealing inside the trial. How is it possible for Ji Yuan not to be moved by them?"
The White Sword Monarch was shaking his fists, "What a decadent race! And my daughter Chu Lixue is inside this trial! I must go in there to save her!"
Little Princess on the other hand had merely smiled, "Ji Yuan must be enjoying himself in there. And he has even become a personal guard of this Goddess Ai Tina. Interesting."
Feng Minyue was also saying nonchalantly, "We never really know what is happening inside. But this trial looks interesting especially the dressing of the maidens there."
Bai Qianfeng sighed softly, "You know. Ji Yuan has probably banged that Goddess Ai Tina already and the 5 divine consorts. For someone that has dared to bang even the Great Beyond Goddess Dream Mist, I truly believe that he is capable of doing these."
The White Sword Monarch had suddenly said, "Damn. No wonder that Xiao Muhan didn't show up yet. He and Ji Yuan are just enjoying themselves in that place. I must go there as well!"
Yun Chi smiled wryly, "You are going there? What for? They are taking their trials in there. Didn't you hear what this cultivator has to say? You have to gain 100 Trust Points from a divine consort there. Not traveling from places to places. From what I have heard, this trial actually covers a big area. You may know the city-state that Ji Yuan is but what if the place that you are at is 2 months away? Even if you can find a flying mount but do you really know the way?"
The White Sword Monarch answered, "Well, I don't care! Ji Yuan is dead for sure this time! That little rascal!"
"Let me go inside the trial to teach this rascal Ji Yuan a lesson too." Mo Bei patted his chest with a righteous shout.
Yun Chi smiled wryly, "Whether the two of you are thinking of teaching Ji Yuan a lesson or going in there to have some fun, I don't care…"
When she had said, both Mo Bei and the White Sword Monarch were both looking a little awkward as they said together, "Naturally to teach Ji Yuan a lesson, of course."
Yun Chi pointed at Mo Bei and Qin Shuang before continuing, "However I know that the Spirit Race or the Spiritas, have an easy method of removing any forms of slave seals and this included Maiden Qin Shuang's slave seal. It is far easier to go inside to remove the slave seal than to spend 1 billion high grade spirit stones to try to remove Maiden Qin Shuang's slave seal inside the Dream Trial."
Mo Bei and Qin Shuang were immediately delighted when they had heard of this news.
"Then we shall go inside the trial now." Mo Bei took Qin Shuang by her hands as he said tenderly.
Qin Shuang nodded slowly and her golden eyes were beaming with delight.
All of a sudden Yun Chi was looking in the horizon and she was saying slowly, "Maybe it is a better idea for all of you to go inside this trial while Qianfeng and I wait here in this place."
Feng Minyue immediately noticed something was amiss when she saw that Yun Chi had a restless look in her golden eyes, "Why is that? Maiden Yun Chi, you don't look too alright. May I know why?"
Yun Chi smiled bitterly, "I shouldn't have released my killing intents earlier. All I can say is someone truly powerful is coming our way now. And she is not easy to deal with."
Everyone was startled as they asked, "Who is she?"
Yun Chi answered slowly, "Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily. She is like the Great Demon God's right hand. I don't know why she is here and why she isn't at the Great Desolate Divine Palace. Don't ever think of fighting her. None of you have a chance against her, trust me."
The White Sword Monarch laughed jovially, "I have 5 golden talismans to regain my profound strength. Do I need to be afraid of a mere maiden? Also, when I have displayed my earthshaking Sword Domain, she would be done for! Hohoho!"
Yun Chi smiled bitterly, "This Number 1 is rumored to be an immortal sword deity. A mere celestial half-step sword immortal is nothing in her eyes. Also, do you believe that she can chase you down and kill you even if you have 10 golden talismans?"
The White Sword Monarch was truly stunned, "An immortal sword deity… in this place?!"
Bai Qianfeng was also startled, "I can't even sense her from afar. Yun Chi, you're the Death God Mingwang, right? Surely you can deal with her right? She didn't know your identity, right? So maybe you can fool her with your Death God Mingwang identity."
Yun Chi said slowly, "In my current state, I have no confidence of winning her. Also, she may have already been to Bliss City and saw that I have dismembered most of the immortal arrays."
Everyone was gasping softly…
Yun Chi pondered for awhile before she said nonchalantly, "Or maybe we can let the trial to take care of her. The trial is never friendly to immortal cultivators. So maybe this is our chance to kill her in the Spirit Trial. In short, we have to lure her inside."
