Eons Firmament Mountains.
Days later, the number of deaths had continued to climb due to aggravated injuries from the wounded cultivators
There were more than 3000 casualties that had been incurred after the attack by the Evil Cultivation Palace and the Desolate Dragon Lord Longdi.
More than 300 golden celestials had also perished. Although the majority of them were the 5th realm golden celestials but it was a terrible grievous loss; it was because some of them had the potential to attain as a 6th and 7th golden celestials in the future.
As for the deaths of the 6th and 7th golden celestials, it was a terrible loss to all the defending celestial clans.
Diviner Mo Ming was sighing as the Mo Clan had lost more than 1/3 of its great celestials. He was now wishing that Mo Bei and some of his more powerful elders would be in the Eons Firmament Mountains now.
Although Mo Bei looked weak most of the time, he was actually a great saint and he could actually fight better than most if his peers. His only flaw was that sometimes he was too hot temper and he was too simple minded.
However, it was to Mo Bei that Diviner Mo Ming had the intention to pass the leadership of the Mo Clan to him in the future.
As Mo Bei was a little too anti-social and had no consorts until now, Diviner Mo Ming was anxious for him and he had even asked him to try his best to befriend Ji Yuan.
It was because Ji Yuan was the link that could help him connect to many of the powerhouses of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity as many of Ji Yuan's consorts were important great celestials or golden celestials in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity.
Moreover, Ji Yuan also had an immortal-step divine sword (which had now been upgraded to a saintly divine sword inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth).
Also, Diviner Mo Ming had actually known Saintess Fang Zhenfei for a long time but he had pretended not to know her in front of Ji Yuan.
Someone as powerful as Mo Ming in the profound art of divination would naturally find out that Saintess Fang Zhenfei had the most unusual destiny.
Therefore, Jiajia as the Saintess Fang Zhenfei as well the 'Old Master' of the Hundred Flowers Divine Palace did not keep her identity a secret from Diviner Mo Ming.
And Diviner Mo Ming also did not tell anyone else that Saintess Fang Zhenfei was actually the 'Old Master' of the Hundred Flower Divine Palace.
In fact, after she had defeated the Desolate Dragon God Longdi, all the cultivators had actually thought that it was impressive that the Saintess Fang Zhenfei from the smallest major orthodox clan the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect would be such an impressive lofty cultivator in secret!
In fact, after this victorious battle, many of the surviving cultivators in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity were now thinking that the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect would actually be the most powerful celestial clan in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity.
For the majority of the cultivators from the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect, they were equally surprised as well; other than Hua Wuwu and Hua Baiyue who knew about Saintess Fang Zhenfei's true identity, no one else know of Saintess Fang Zhenfei's dual identity.
While everyone was still celebrating over this hard-earned victory, Jiajia was feeling lost in the secret guest chamber of the Mo Clan.
She was accompanied by Hua Wuwu and Hua Baiyue who had almost never left her side unless they were given a special mission such as the one that required them to follow Ji Yuan in the past.
Hua Baiyue was intrigued as she said in her petite voice, "Mistress, what's wrong with you nowadays? Did we not win this battle and has killed the Desolate Dragon God Longdi?"
"That is right!" Hua Wuwu smiled as she quickly added.
Jiajia looked blankly at them and said with great melancholy, "Did I really do it right? I feel so weak and helpless fighting the Desolate Dragon God alone. I just couldn't win against him until his cultivation realms were suddenly dropping rapidly. Do you know how helpless that I had felt at that time? That he would strip me naked in front of tens of thousands of cultivators presented and I could not do anything to oppose his intentions?"
Hua Wuwu and Hua Baiyue were suddenly stunned at the woeful expression of their mistress who had never shown this side of hers.
"I'm not a smart as everyone think I am and I've made many errors in my calculations." Jiajia began to weep softly as she gave a recounting of her battle with the Desolate Dragon God Longdi. "I don't even know what had happened to the Desolate Dragon God and what caused the drop in his cultivation realms all of a sudden…"
At that time the Desolate Dragon God Longdi was OP and he had even taunted her about the invincibility in his draconian form.
She knew that the Desolate Dragon God Longdi was merely toying with her until she had exhausted her profound strength. Once she had completely exhausted her profound strength then he would then take her and play with her like a puppet.
For the very first time, she was fearful of the future.
Jiajia said woefully and her tears dropped to the ground, "That cultivator called Number 5 isn't a celestial like us but she is from the demonic race. Just like the desolate beasts, they are stronger than us at the same cultivation realm level due to their superior racial traits. If there is a Number 5, then there are Number 4 to Number 1 as well."
Hua Baiyue and Hua Wuwu were quiet; it was because their mistress was rarely wrong in her analysis.
Jiajia trembled as she continued, "If it isn't for that fateful battle, we would never know how many celestial clans, whether orthodox and unorthodox are with the Evil Cultivation Palace. Now we know and it is not just a few…"
"I just don't understand," Hua Wuwu could not fight back her tears when she saw the state that her mistress was in. "Where did the Evil Cultivation Palace get its great wealth from? Surely they need to have plenty of cultivation resources in order to bribe so many of the celestial clans?"
Hua Baiyue nodded with her trembling voice and she too, was sorrowful when she saw that her mistress was so sad now. "The Evil Cultivation Palace have no access to the rich spiritual mountains and is a common enemy to be eradicated by both the orthodox and unorthodox celestial clans. Why is that we can never finish them off even after hundreds of years? Why are so many cultivators still willing to join the Evil Cultivation Palace?"
Jiajia quietly said, "They are a secret organization for thousands of years. We are merely hundreds of years. For a dark power like the Great Demon God who can united the Desolate Dragon God and the Death God to his banner, his dark powers cannot be estimated. As for the wealth of the Evil Cultivation Palace, I really do not know where it is coming from."
The Evil Cultivation Palace had many elders and thousands of heretic cultivators, supporting even the three Dark Citadels of the Evil Cultivation Palace as well. Such a large sect would naturally require an unimaginable amount of spirit stones to support the cultivation of its heretic cultivators.
They did not know that Great Demon God had been mining the rich profound wealth of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth every 500 years to support the Evil Cultivation Palace.
In the Evil Cultivation Palace, the Great Demon God had created a contribution point system for the heretic cultivators for them to exchange for high grade spirit stones and profound treasures. It was a system that worked very well.
Hua Baiyue asked quietly, "If one Desolate Dragon God is already so strong, how can we hope to win against the Death God Mingwang and the Great Demon God Hong Meng?"
Jiajia was quiet too; it was because she really did not know how to even defeat the Great Demon God now.
Even when she knows where their hideout is, it is still impossible for her to storm it.
Only by killing the Great Demon God can the forbidden seal that severe the Celestial Realm and the Immortal Realm be removed.
"I am betting this." Hua Wuwu tried to force a smile on her mistress' countenance, "That the Desolate Dragon God must be too haughty and that was why he was suddenly struck by a divine calamity that only affected his soul sea. In that case, then it was not surprising that we could not see it. Hence, that was why his cultivation core was suddenly devastated and this had suddenly affected his cultivation realms."
"I second this." Bai Baiyue was nodding with a forceful smile. She had wanted her mistress to be happy as well. "I bet that the Great Demon God would be struck by a divine calamity to his soul sea as well if he dares to fight with our mistress!"
Jiajia knew that they were only trying to make her happy so she just nodded quietly…

Elsewhere in the Mo Clan.
Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue had grown closer to Han Yuchi and Zhao Songjin now. She knew that they had risked their lives for her and had mustered all their profound strength to fight alongside with her.
Han Yuchi smiled, "It is nothing. We are all from the same celestial clan anyway."
Zhao Songjin told Xue Qianxue, "I am your right protector now. So, it is only natural that I will do all my best to protect you."
That battle had also brought Sword Saintess Jian Yuluo and Shui Qingqing closer to Xue Qianxue, Han Yuchi and Zhao Songjin.
Han Yuchi had reprimanded Shui Qingqing gently after the battle with the Desolate Dragon God, "You are a sect leader as well as the Palace Mistress of the Water Melody Palace, one of the three consecrated forbidden places in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. You shouldn't risk yourself."
But Shui Qingqing laughed it off with an innocent look, "I have only one mother, right? You are my mother consort so I have to come to your rescue. Moreover, I am also aiding the friends of Ji Yuan."
Han Yuchi was startled that she actually could have such a sensible daughter in Shui Qingqing.
As for Sword Saintess Jian Yuluo and Xue Qianxue, they also got to know Shui Qingqing better than before now. After all they had all been through a life and death battle versus the all-powerful Number 5.
