The banquet was jovial and everyone was happy.
Bai Qianfeng was surprised that the Chaos Empress Sovereign Destiny did not display her usual haughtiness and was contended to sit alone, displaying the occasion faint smiles to everyone.
However, there was no mistaking her forbidden aura and unless it was necessary to talk to her, it was always in a respectful manner and no one dares to joke with her.
Ji Yuan quickly introduced Bai Qianfeng and Little Princess to all the divine consorts Xu Yifei, Tang Manni, Dongfang Xin, Sun Dingjun and Ding Jie'Er.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Everyone was happy to greet the two newcomers in amicably since they were Ji Yuan's friends. And this included Destiny.
Bai Qianfeng was actually surprised by it as she returned a friendly toast in the direction of Destiny.
Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan were drinking a lot and there were many noble spiritas maidens that asked him about his time in the Great Games to answer some of their curious questions; it was because they could not hear anything from the battle imageries so they could only guess what was Ji Yuan's plans only after he had executed it.
The trials that Ji Yuan was just too puzzling.
As Ji Yuan had promised Destiny not to talk about the profound darkness, he decided to make a story about his heroics for all the listeners.
More than half of the time in the banquet, Ji Yuan was asked about the trials and he was only too happy to explain about it, especially when he could exaggerate his own accounts more than 10 times.
The Smiling Divine Maiden and Destiny who knows about some of his trials looked a little sheepish when they had heard Ji Yuan; his tales were wilder than even the cultivation stories.
When they had heard him, they were feeling quite awkward and embarrassed by him.
The Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue was glad that she was not in all the trials with Ji Yuan because there were even some of the noble spiritas maidens that had asked her to verify Ji Yuan's accounts and she had lied for him in one way or another. This was bad for the dao in her heart.
But they forgave Ji Yuan because he looked a little drunk and he looked really happy.
Just as everyone was in a jovial mood, a spiritas maiden hastily reported to her Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei with a bitter smile. "There are 3 champions outside and they want to challenge Ji Yuan."
This was overheard by Ji Yuan and everyone else.
Ji Yuan was already half-drunken so he shouted, "Bring them in and I shall challenge them 1 to 3!"
Xu Yifei asked Ji Yuan, "Master Ji Yuan, are you sure about this? Do you want to reconsider this?"
But Ji Yuan raised his fists to shout loudly, "Bring them in! Haha…"
Since JI Yuan was also a divine lord and a high ranking noble now, Xu Yifei could only give the orders to bring them in. "Have them brought into the banquet."
Bai Qianfeng stared at Ji Yuan as she whispered, "This is your problem. I am not going to settle your arrogant problems for yourself."
Ji Yuan laughed softly, "They are not happy with me. They will still be unhappy with me when this trial is over. So why don't I teach them a little lesson?"
Soon, three fierce looking men had walked into the banquet.
These three men were all celestials from the Celestial Realm and the first thing that they did is to stare coldly at Ji Yuan.
They were indeed not happy with Ji Yuan that he had become the Great Champion and had earned the trusts of their divine consorts so they were here to demolish his reputation.
Two of them were failed champions and they did not reach the fifth trial due to some bad luck while Ji Yuan had recognized one of the champions as Gongsun Yi and he was in the fifth trial. Also, his patron divine consort is Dongfang Xin.
The patron divine consort of the other two champions was also Dongfang Xin too.
The three of them raised their voices at the same time, "Our humble respect to all the divine consorts presented. We have come to challenge JI Yuan one by one!"
"I am Gongsun Yi!"
"I am Yi Xinfa!"
"I am Ru Lianxi!"
The three of them were also great saints and they felt a little humiliated that Ji Yuan would have all the glory and honor from the divine consorts and from the people in Snowy Pavilion City.
Today, they were here to bust the myth of the Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan to dust in this place. What better place to humiliate Ji Yuan than this banquet where all the noble spiritas maidens were presented?
Divine Consort Tang Manni shouted in her beautiful voice, "Who do you think that the three of you are that you can issue a challenge to Divine Lord Ji Yuan when and then as you pleased?"
As she said that, she had glanced in the direction of Ji Yuan and she looked a little flustered when Ji Yuan was also looking at her.
She had seized the opportunity to speak ahead of the other divine consorts as she wanted to present herself in a good light in front of Ji Yuan.
Dongfang Xin, Sun Dingjun and Ding Jie'Er were actually about to say the same as Tang Manni but she was much faster so they had a disappointing look.
But they maintained a fierce look at the three men as they protectively stood on Ji Yuan's side.
Gongsun Yi said nonchalantly, "Accordingly to the Spiritas Law, I believe that we have the right to challenge someone to an honor duel and hence, we are here…"
Dongfang Xin seized the opportunity to say coldly this time, "The three of you may be my champions but I am astonished at your lack of knowledge about our spiritas laws. Ji Yuan is a divine lord now and only another divine lord or divine consort of the same rank can challenge him to a honor duel. Not the three of you!"
In her eyes, these three men already had -100 Trust Points with her for daring to challenge Ji Yuan!
However, Gongsun Yi nor the other two men know about this as they were trying to savage their declining Trust Points after the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower.
Ji Yuan had suddenly grinned to them, "It is alright. I will accept their challenge against me."
Xu Yifei quickly raised her fingers toward Ji Yuan, "Master Ji Yuan, you don't have to…"
However Ji Yuan grinned as he laughed jovially, "Don't worry, I'll be fine…"
Then he had turned to look at the 3 men and said, "But 1 to 1 is too boring. Why don't the three of you fight me at the same time?"
Gongsun Yi, Yi Xinfa, and Ru Lianxi were overjoyed in their hearts since they did not believe they could overcome Ji Yuan alone; this Ji Yuan was such an idiot for daring to fight against 3 great saints alone!
"Then I shall make you pay for your conceit in challenging the three of us simultaneously," Gongsun Yi grinned coldly.
When he had said that, he and the other two men had displayed their heaven-step divine swords!
By displaying their divine swords, they were also forced to display their profound animus to reveal their cultivation realm as that of the great saint level.
Their cultivation realm was indeed fierce and except for the divine consorts here, they were all lofty cultivators that could easily defeat most of the noble spiritas maidens in this place.
Therefore they had the right to be haughty.
Moreover when they were back in the Celestial Realm, they were all the blessed sons of the heavens and had an important status in their celestial sects.
Ji Yuan flashed his immortal scabbard first. This immortal scabbard looked like an ordinary scabbard and unless it was an immortal cultivator, it was difficult for even great saints to know that it was an extraordinary immortal scabbard.
Then from here, Ji Yuan had displayed Xiang Li, his emperor-step divine sword in front of the 3 men.
A brilliant divine halo shimmered through the sharp tips of Ji Yuan's divine sword and the radiance of his divine sword was piercing to the eyes.
This shocked Gongsun Yi, Yi Xinfa, and Ru Lianxi who did not know that Ji Yuan had an emperor-step divine sword and that he actually had the profound strength to wield one!
Yi Xinfa stammered panicky, "Emperor-step divine sword?!"
They were all thinking: How the heck did this Ji Yuan get an emperor-step divine sword? Did they just offend a blessed son of the heavens or some extremely powerhouse?!
There were some regrets in their golden eyes after they had seen the emperor-step that even had a divine halo around it, meaning that it had been fully divine harmonized with Ji Yuan.
Gongsun Yi was stunned too because he had not seen Ji Yuan displaying his divine swords during the fifth trial and hence, he had thought that Ji Yuan's divine sword was at most a heaven-step divine sword.
Ru Lianxi could see that Ji Yuan was able to wield his emperor-step divine sword effortlessly and he estimated that this Ji Yuan had twice the profound strength than he did; this caused him to break into cold sweat immediately.
The there of them did not purchase Ji Yuan's battle memory stone in the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower as it was limited to 100,000 copies for each of the city-state and it was difficult to even buy a copy.
The reason why was because priority was given to the noble spiritas maidens who had all purchased a copy and to the spectators that spent the most in the tickets for the colosseums. And the battle memory stone that was Ji Yuan had such a high demand that not even 1 million copies were enough and in the black market, it was marked at a ridiculous high price.
All the noble spiritas maidens presented in this banquet were actually all fans of Ji Yuan and they were also looking with great hostility at the 3 men.
Destiny raised her cup as she stared coldly at the 3 men, "Divine Lord Ji Yuan will surely win. These 3 men are simply courting their own death."
Dongfang Xin was humming coldly in the direction of the 3 men, "From now onward, I am no longer your patron divine consort."
The sudden proclamation from Dongfang Xin stunned the Gongsun Yi, Yi Xinfa, and Ru Lianxi; after all, they were all here to earn their Trust Points with Dongfang Xin…
Before they had even dueled with Ji Yuan, their patron divine consort had refused to acknowledge them with a declaration!
Ding Jie'Er shouted in her soft and pretty voice, "They are not welcomed in the sector of my city too!"
Sun Dingjun and Tang Manni did not want to lose to Ding Jie'Er and they were also quick to declare, "They are also not welcomed in my sector of the city too!"
Dongfang Xin added coldly, "Nor mine!"
In short, these 4 divine consorts were all saying that they were not welcomed in Snowy Pavilion City!
Gongsun Yi who was taking the lead to come here look stunned; what has just happened? There is a rumor that this Ji Yuan has banged all the divine consorts in Snowy Pavilion City. Don't tell me that this is true?"
