After they had the left the Wonderland of the Unwavering Monument, Ji Yuan's group was a little lost in the mountains. So, they had split up for a short time in search of the next passage way through the mountains or for new Wonderlands to encounter.
Ji Yuan was surprised that he had been assigned Zhi Jiugong, the Lovely Empress and the Smiling Divine Maiden in his small group.
Or rather Yun Chi had assigned it on purpose.
From being the most unwelcome maiden in the group, she was now the most popular de facto leader along with Bai Qianfeng.
Since Bai Qianfeng did not like to talk very much, leaving it to Ling Feiyue to handle much of the talking for her, Yun Chi had somehow taken over the maidens as a group.
Although Ji Yuan was the nominal leader of the group, he had lost his say due to his disappointing performance in the last trial for not 'working hard enough'. And also, because he was a male and no one wants him to pick his favorite maidens to go patrolling with him.
His only consolation from Yun Chi was that she did not let him pick his old master to go patrolling with him. Or it would be super boring for the two men.
Now that Ji Yuan was with Zhi Jiugong, the Lovely Empress and the Smiling Divine Maiden, he was spirited again. "Haha, these mountains really have such a nice view."
In his heart, he had Yun Chi to thanks for.
Thank you Yun Chi!
Along the way, he was constantly looking at the swaying butts of Zhi Jiugong, the Lovely Empress and the Smiling Divine Maiden; there were great delights in his golden eyes as he watched them...
After walking for a while, the Lovely Empress giggled softly and she had turned to ask him. "Ji Yuan, we are now patrolling in a group now. For the very first time."
Ji Yuan chuckled, "Well, we are. Nothing special about it."
The Smiling Divine Maiden had turned to look at him with a not so pleasant faint smile, "This is our first time going for a patrol and you're not happy about this? Ji Yuan, you are indeed not a romantic cultivator."
"I will be not a romantic cultivator?!" Ji Yuan was shocked to the core.
How would he not be a romantic cultivator?
Zhi Jiugong laughed from behind him, "That is because you can't remember or place emotion attachments to our first time."
Ji Yuan was startled, "You mean that you are all going to give me your very first time in this place? I can't wait…"
All of a sudden, all three maidens were punching and kicking him for being dirty minded.
"You are simply courting your own death!"
"You're hopeless!"
"Go to die, Ji Yuan!"
"Is that what you have been actually thinking all along?"
"Stupid Ji Yuan!"
Ji Yuan just laughed loudly, "I was only joking…"
"Ji Yuan," the Lovely Empress had suddenly asked him. "Why didn't you cultivate your internal profound arts when you have the chance? I have heard you snoozing."
Ji Yuan frowned, "From so far away?"
The Smiling Divine Maiden covered her face, "Your snoozing is really loud."
Ji Yuan laughed, "Haha. I didn't realize this."
Then he rubbed his chin before saying solemnly, "I have reached my limit after 3 days. So I have stopped."
The Lovely Empress curiously looked at him, "What limit? Cultivation has no limit unless you are like… Maiden Yun Chi."
She had wanted to say, her mistress instead.
Ji Yuan bitterly said, "If I had continued to cultivate back then, do you know how red my face would be and after that I won't even be knowing what I was doing?"
When he had said that, all three maidens began to laugh jovially and they even had tears rolling down their eyes...
The Lovely Empress laughed, "I cannot imagine a free of charge cultivator like you, will actually give me so many millions of high-grade spirit stones… so thank you…"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan simply shrugged his shoulders as he muttered almost incoherently, "I can bang you so many times with these millions..."
"What did you just say?" The Lovely Empress said him with a cold look.
"Nothing. Haha..." Ji Yuan laughed it off.
It was because he really did not mind if he had lost 2 days of cultivation at the Wonderland of the Unwavering Monument.
It was because he had always been an attack type and seldom focused on his defenses. Because if he did then his profound power in his swords would be much weaker.
Although Power and Defense Cultivations are strong in their profound auras and can defend against profound attacks in a much more effective way than a sword practitioner like Ji Yuan, but they rarely have the ability to make projectile attacks.
But of course, they do not need to since projectile attacks always require much more profound strength and also required aiming. At the same time, projectile attacks would also weaken over distances and further weaken when there are resistances.
Also when a cultivator is a Power or a Defense Cultivator, their profound defense which can be profound aura or animus can also be improved at the same time. When used with a divine sword, their profound attack will also be much stronger.
The main reason why they have scorned the sword practitioners is because fanciful sword attacks just cannot penetrate their profound defenses or their golden body. So sword strokes are useless in the Celestial Realm as compare to the lower mortal realm. Profound power is everything in the Celestial Realm.
Ji Yuan's attacks were weaker than most of the Power and Defense Cultivators. That was why he relied on his sword attacks to strike continuously as to weaken his opponent's profound animus little by little first before making his final attack.
Also he had relied more on his speed to evade attacks rather than tanking a direct hit most of the time.
Even if he was a sword saint, he was not exactly a respected sword saint without a sword spirit in the past.
Usually for the sword practitioners, a sword spirit can further augment their sword profound power instead of a spirit animus while Power and Defense Cultivators rely more on spirit animus to be stronger since they have so much more spiritual reserves.
That was one reason why Ji Yuan did not have a lot of motivation to pick up the Yang Invincible Body Art since this skill required hundreds of years to perfect and to build up his foundation.
Instead, he continued to rely on his speed attacks and speed.
That was the reason why when the Smiling Divine Maiden was making her evasion in the secret immortal array back in Bliss City, he got very interested. Because he had also wanted to impress her, he really tried his best to improve upon his own evasion. And he did manage to push his evasion to a whole new level as well.
At this moment Ji Yuan was looking dazedly at the three maidens as they displayed their fists and kicks on him.
With a loud chuckle, he grabbed them one by one to his embrace and laughed jovially. "I think that Yun Chi is purposely pushing the three of you into my arms instead…"
And the three maidens were all flushing in his embrace in return.
After looking at Ji Yuan, they began to smile dreamily as they rested their heads on him…
And naturally, Ji Yuan's hands were not clean and he was groping them all at the same time…
But the three maidens did not mind as they allowed him to flirt with them for a while as they dreamily wrapped themselves around him. That was because Ji Yuan was the man they had loved dearly now and today was their time with him. If Ji Yuan was honest then they would indeed be very disappointed...
