Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing was pondering deeply as she stared at the canvas imagery on the dome of Room 24 for the hint to the next portal.
And she had been pondering for the past 3 hours, although she did not have any peace of mind from Old Reverend Beiyuan who was constantly teasing her with his signature laughter.
As for Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng, they were eagerly studying the immortal profound seals that were in this place and they were totally immersed in their cultivations.
However for Ji Yuan, he was laughing and chatting with Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress; the three of them was uninterested to try their luck with the mysteries of the profound cultivation in this place and were more interested to talk nonstop with one another.
Ji Yuan plan was simple enough and he intended to waste as much time as possible to get out of this trial and to claim for his reward. After all, this was a high level trial and surviving it was his greatest reward.
Shui Xisi suddenly frowned when Ji Yuan appeared to be a little too boastful in his chats, "You know. You are not that strong a cultivator. You should try to cultivate a little in this place. Maybe you would get an insight or two that may be useful to you in the future."
Ji Yuan immediately frowned with an answer, "And get heart demons from it? Never!"
Shui Xisi rolled her golden eyes, "Didn't you just boast that you are the strongest cultivator in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity and maybe even in the entire Celestial Realm? You would get heart demons?"
"He is just boasting. He sucks in his cultivation." The Lovely Empress hummed but her lovely golden eyes were filled with delight at the chance of putting down on Ji Yuan. "My mistress Yun Chi is far more stronger than him. Also there are the Desolate Dragon God and the Great Demon God as well. Maybe he can't even defeat the Evil Cultivation Master too. If you are so strong then why did you almost die inside the Bliss City Arena?"
pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ Ji Yuan: …
He grumbled softly, "I am only pretending to be weak in there, you know."
Shui Xisi, the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu: …
Ji Yuan further pointed out, "If there is a cultivation story, then it would be me. The MC would have the most beautiful beard in the entire Desolate Celestial Fraternity and even in the Celestial Realm. Haha…"
"No one will like to read about an ugly bearded cultivator," Shui Xisi interrupted with a soft chuckle. "Or any bearded cultivators."
Ji Yuan frowned, "You can eat the wrong food but you can't say the wrong words! You are not just insulting me and my beard but all the other manly cultivators in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity as well."
Shui Xisi laughed jovially, "And where is your beard now? Fancy a cultivator without a beard trying to write a cultivation story about a cultivator with a beard. What a joke!"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Shui Xisi continued, not leaving Ji Yuan the chance to protest. "Also, you are nothing without your divine swords. Are you even able to beat me without your divine swords or even the Lovely Empress here?"
Ji Yuan chuckled, "You have no idea how formidable my sword fingers are…"
As he said that, he was looking at the tempting body of Shui Xisi and also the enticing figure of the Lovely Empress.
But he quickly added, "However, I am known as the Gentleman of the Sword. There is no way that I would fight a maiden that is beneath my level. Haha. Don't forget that I am a peak great saint."
Shui Xisi laughed as she swayed her body with laughter, "Don't make me laugh aloud, alright? You are talking with two peaked great saintesses here. We can defeat you 1 to 1 anytime and twisted your sword fingers with our superior profound power. Your puny profound power is nothing without your divine swords."
"That is right!" The Lovely Empress giggled. "I can nail him down as soon as he dares to raise his little fingers."
Although she had said it was his little fingers but she was looking down below Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan suddenly had the cringes and he laughed if off by saying, "My spirit animus is far stronger than you think…"
"We can just play along with you until you have exhausted your spirit animus," the Lovely Empress blinked with her golden eyes. "I know all your weakness."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
He quickly rebuked, "No one has ever killed me yet or even humiliated me yet. Hahaha. Try harder the next time. I'm not going to play a fight of words with the two of you. This is not my strength. You maidens are just good with playing with your words and I'm not falling for this. I am a Gentleman of the Sword, the Great Saint Ji Yuan and Sword Immortal Ji Yuan. Some say, even a Sword Deity. Hahaha. It is just that I don't wish to use my sword domains on the two of you lest you start to beg me for a little mercy. You know, I can be really soft hearted at times…"
"Oh really? You have never been humiliated before?" Shui Xisi interrupted with a loud chuckle as she raised her alluring voice. "Hehehe. Have you forgotten a few hundred years ago how you got hung up on a tree and your ass kicked?"
Ji Yuan was jolted as he stared at Shui Xisi with disbelief and he was suddenly shouting, "That is YOU!? You!!!"
At that time, he was drunk and was walking in the dark woods on his own and he was suddenly attacked by a masked person. He did not know if it was a man or a maiden but his attacker had beaten him up rather badly and kept pulling his beautiful beard.
Eventually he got hung up by the tree and even got his beautiful beard insulted.
To this day, this was a most humiliating thing that had happened to him because even though he may be drunk but there was no one that could surprise him just like this.
He had always thought that it was Little Princess or someone with a feud with him.
Shui Xisi laughed nonstop, "So you have finally remembered? You have dared to call me an old freaking woman that day and this 'old woman' would be smitten by you?"
Ji Yuan was stunned; he had suddenly remembered his boasts.
He began to growl and raised his fists angrily, "Sisi! Today, you shall pay for this insult! I am going to KILL YOU!"
Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng were suddenly startled by Ji Yuan's loud commotions and Yun Chi began to frown softly, "What is wrong with Ji Yuan? Just a moment ago, he was happily chatting with them. Now he is so angry…"
Bai Qianfeng the Abyssal Null Goddess also had a bewilder look; she was focusing too much on unraveling the profound cultivation mysteries that she did not know what was going on.
Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had coldly turned to look in the direction of Ji Yuan and was humming coldly, "Celestials, how dare you interrupt my divine thoughts. Do you want to live or not? I can assure that I have many ways to kill you even if I cannot directly kill a celestial."
Ji Yuan turned to the direction of the Grand Holy Saintess and weakly said, "Great Immortal God, I am sorry to interrupt your peace. I was just a little bored that you have not yet picked a portal."
Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing hummed with sarcasm, "If you are that smart, why don't you pick the portal then?"
Ji Yuan smiled weakly as he answered, "You can pick the middle portal and the 4th portal from the right."
There were 26 portals, 6 on the left and 8 in the middle and 12 on the right.
Old Reverend Beiyuan coldly said, "It is just random a guess. Don't try to fool us. We are not amused by your antics."
Ji Yuan said coolly, "There are 6 portals to the left and 8 in the middle. On the right side are 12 portals. It is in multiple of 2. So it should be the middle portal which is 2nd in place. As for why it is the 4th portal counting from the right and not the left, it is because the Great Beyond Goddess have 12 profound circles around him. It is the same as the 12 portals on the right."
Old Reverend Beiyuan had a sudden realization now but he said, "But it can also be the portal on the right since there are 12 profound seals. As there are only the True Devil God and the Great Beyond Goddess here, it may be the second portal. As for whether we start counting from the left or right…"
"I think he is right." Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had suddenly said aloud. "I am going to pick the portal in the middle."
When she had said that, she had already flashed to the portal.
Old Reverend Beiyuan panicky began to shout, "Junior sister, wait! You can't trust him…"
But it was already too late and Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had already flashed into the 2nd portal in the middle.
