The gigantic form of the Spiritas Tower had suddenly descended slowly from above the heavens; it looked like a huge white tower and it occupied half of the sky of the Snowy Pavilion City.
And all around the Spiritas Tower, there were several pillars of golden light that reached all the way up to the heavens.
12 in fact if it could be counted, each of the golden pillar of light representing a portal into the Spiritas Tower and it was lit up from the divine temple of the 12 major city-states of the Northern Alliance Theology Olympiad.
In the past when there were more of the major city-states, there were actually more of these golden pillars of light that could be lit up from the divine temples.
For the past several days, almost all the divine consorts of the 12 major city-states had been laying down the spirit arrays to activate these golden pillars of light with their profound cultivation.
In normal circumstances, these divine consorts also have another role as the high priestesses of the Divine Temple of their Ancient First Divine Consort Ai Tina.
The only exception in Snowy Pavilion City was Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei who had to rest to regain her profound strength; the destruction of her immortal divine shield had caused her a more lasting damage it appeared to be and she needed a longer time of recuperation and cultivation rest than even Ji Yuan.
Even though her immortal divine shield had been destroyed, it was not a permanent destruction as all divine and immortal profound treasures have the ability to regenerate unless its artefact core is permanently destroyed.
The presence of the Spiritas Tower caused much excitement to resound through the entire city and Ji Yuan was in awe of the sudden appearance of the Spiritas Tower and this descend was quite similar to the awe effect of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.
"The Spiritas Tower has finally descended!"
"Once every 500 years, the Spiritas Tower will descend from the Greater Spirit Realm…"
"Even the golden light from our divine temple is now lit. This means that the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower is starting really soon…"
"Only the divine consorts, their followers and the champions were allowed to step into the divine temples while the rest of us can only watch the Great Games of the Spiritas City from the colosseum…"
"The colosseum can only seat 300 000 speculators and we have so many people from the other smaller city-states in our Snowy Pavilion City these days…"
"The daily tickets are expensive…"
"I don't want to miss the opening ceremony…"
"I want to see Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan in the Spiritas Tower…"
"Me too, I am a fanmanics of the Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan as well…"
"I want to watch Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan for the duration of the 30 days of the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower…"
"With Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan around, I am sure that this time our Snowy Pavilion City would be tops in the Spiritas Tower…"
"I've heard that the Goddess Ai Tina says that this time round the rules of the Spiritas Tower will change?"
"Yes, I have heard of that too…"
"It is quite sad that the Goddess Ai Tina says that no more divine consorts will be able to ascend through the Spiritas Tower anymore but she will give a different compensation…"
"I wonder what's the rewards for the divine consorts and the champions are this time?"
"I am hyped because this time round the Goddess Ai Tina takes the effort to visit us…"
"The Goddess Ai Tina is the great heroine and also the First Divine Consort of our spiritas race…"
"Snowy Pavilion City is really honored to have the Goddess Ai Tina staying with us for a few days…"
"I've heard rumor that another immortal divine lord had visited Snowy Pavilion City and our Goddess Ai Tina has returned to the Greater Spirit Realm with him…"
"That immortal divine lord is probably just a lowly servant of our Goddess Ai Tina! Men are all depraved!"
"Only the Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan is a worthy true man and hero!"
"I've heard that Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan has slept with our Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei, Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er and Divine Consort Tang Manni…"
"Even the Smiling Divine Maiden, the most beautiful maiden in the city-state isn't spared from the Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan…"
"Our Great Oracle as well…"
"This only shows how masculine our Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan really is…"
All kinds of rumors and gossips had spread through the Northern Alliance Theology Olympiad; some were true, some were false but the spiritas were all excited by the descent of the Spiritas Tower that could only be seen once every 500 years in the fertile crescent plains of the Northern Alliance Theology Olympiad.
Today Ji Yuan together with Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei and her entourage had visited the city-state only Divine Temple of the Goddess Ai Tina.
Yang Mi, Yu Jingjing and Destiny were also with the entourage but they were mere speculators and could be allowed to watch the Great Trials of the Spiritas Tower from inside the Divine Temple of the Goddess Ai Tina rather than from in the Colosseum.
This was also the day that he would partake as a champion for Xu Yifei inside the Spiritas Tower.
And he was also the solo champion.
When he had reached the golden steps of the Divine Temple of the Goddess Ai Tina, there were numerous cultivators that were already presented and many of them were the celestial champions.
Ji Yuan could even spot his Senior Sister Chu Lixue, Xiao Muhan and even Yang Baitian, who was a champion of Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er.
He had quickly spotted the divine consorts Dongfang Xin, Tang Manni, Sun Dingjun and Ding Jie'Er who were all hastily speeding in great excitement to greet him.
"Yuan Beluga, you are finally here!" Ding Jie'Er smiled coyly.
"Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan…" Dongfang Xin and Sun Dingjun were all smiling joyous when they saw him.
Sun Dingjun even added with a flushed look, "Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan, this divine consort is so flush, flush now when I see you. Heehee…"
"Master Ji Yuan, I've been waiting so long for you." Tang Manni
Ji Yuan grinned at them and he was also glad to see all of them too as well; even though he did not see them for a mere few days due to the preparations of the Spiritas Tower, he was actually starting to miss all of them.
"Divine Consorts Manni, Dongfang Xin, Little Jie'Er, Sun Dingjun…"
However as Ji Yuan greeted the 4 divine consorts, he had suddenly noticed that more than half of the champions, mostly celestials and all of them men had a look of hostility when they saw him.
It was because many of these celestial champions were all lofty figures in the Celestial Realm and they all considered themselves to be on the same par as the Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong.
Only the lofty and old cultivator Yang Batian who had fought with Ji Yuan previously was convinced of Ji Yuan's superiority and he had no hostility in his eyes when he looked at him; after all Ji Yuan had also helped him to resolve a cultivation issue that had been blogging him for a long time.
But for most of the champions, they did not witness Ji Yuan's feat firsthand, either because they were all men, in close cultivation lately or just in wanton pleasure, they had a look of despise on the young and beautiful looking Ji Yuan simply because he was a young cultivator.
They had no excuse to look down on his old ragged clothing anymore because Ji Yuan had changed into a better profound toga now.
They had certainly heard of his exploits in defeating the Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong and Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao.
But these two exploits were not enough to make them feel impress with Ji Yuan.
To them, maybe this Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong was just a weak immortal divine lord from the Greater Spirit Realm.
After all, they all know that there were two restrictive conditions on immortals when they descended to a lower realm.
One, they can choose to retain their cultivation realm but they can only stay for a brief moment and they cannot regain their immortal cultivation strength in the normal way until they can get back to their immortal realm.
Two, they can stay on a much longer time in the lower realm but they have to sacrifice their immortal cultivation realms and have a powerful profound treasure to anchor them in the lower realm; the higher the grade, the better.
So to them, Ji Yuan was just fighting weak immortals that could not even display their full cultivation profound strength to the utmost.
As for Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao, they had all thought that she was a weak immortal too and calling herself Number 1 did not mean that she was really Number 1.
This Ji Yuan just had more luck than them!
All of these celestial champions had thought that they were Number 1 as well.
For all they know, this Ji Yuan may even be in cahoot with the Goddess Ai Tina to lose to Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao on purpose.
For all they know, even Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao and the Goddess Ai Tina may even be in cahoot with Ji Yuan in order to increase his renown.
After all, this Ji Yuan is a celestial like them and he is just trying to gain his Trust Points from the divine consorts.
The wily schemes of the celestials are too many and this may all be the evil ploy of this Ji Yuan!
If they could defeat Ji Yuan or even kill them then their Trust Points would be 100 immediately!

Author Note:
1. I'd really appreciate it if the readers can contribute power stones to this story as a show of support even if you are reading from other websites. Your spirit stones are crucial for motivations and releases. Also, it means alot me/ story, Many love and thanks! ?(⌒▽⌒?)
2. I think for now if you read carefully, there are less of a chance for Dongfang Xin and Sun Dingjun to be with Ji Yuan.
3. The next arc will probably be the Great Abyssal Realm; still in the planning stage.
4. I'm starting to write a new cultivation story when I'm having a blocker. I don't think it is any R18 since the focus is on a strong heroine. But this may not be mainstay and is for a writing competition.
