Five Heavens Peak, in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity.
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily had suddenly departed from the Great Desolate Divine Palace for a break.
As the Great Desolate Divine Palace was unlikely to be attacked by the celestials even if they had known of the location, she was not too concerned about it. Moreover, if there were any dangers, the Great Demon God would summon her anyway.
She brushed her long flowing hair that was bundled in a curl next to her pointed ears to hide the fact that she was from the demonic race and not the same as the celestials.
At the same time, she had also hidden her red demonic eyes which was a distinct feature in her demonic race, contrast to the golden eyes of the golden celestials in this Celestial Fraternity.
The Evil Cultivation Palace had specifically invented this profound art of hiding the true colors of their eyes for their nefarious purposes of infiltrating the Celestial Realm.
This profound art was extremely difficult to create and it took the demonic race centuries of their time in the Celestial Realm to finally complete it.
Although this is one of the precious cultivation arts of the Evil Cultivation Palace it is also quite a useless profound art as well unless they wanted to disguise themselves as a lower cultivation realm cultivator; the Evil Cultivation Palace had plenty of spies that were below the fifth cultivation realm to do their biddings and there were also many evil celestials among their ranks.
Also, this profound art is also extremely difficult to master its profound intricates at the same time and only a bored cultivator would spend the effort to try to learn it. Unless of course, that cultivator happened to have his own nefarious purposes.
But for Number 1, this is a most useful profound art that would allow her to mingle among the celestials in the Celestial Realm.
Today she had randomly picked a location in the Desolate Celestial Realm to wander and she had arrived in this place because the desolate aura in this place was rich and it pleased her. Naturally places with rich desolate aura would have poor spiritual aura.
Therefore, there were few golden celestials in this place.
Even if there were, most of the poorer golden celestials would take their chances in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, hoping to find a profound treasure or two to change their cultivation fortunes.
Imagine her surprise when she stumbled upon a bearded golden celestial walking along the mountain path and from the looks of it, he had a battle not too long ago and was looking rugged.
The bearded cultivator was also quite startled to see such an astonishing beautiful maiden in this desolate place and quickly prompted a question, "Maiden, are you lost around here? I have never seen you before."
Ding Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes before she nodded slowly and she was thinking to herself: Consider his bad luck today in disturbing my peace. He won't even know how he dies hehe…
The bearded cultivator smiled amicably, "I am Celestial Ji Hao. What is your name?"
He was indeed Ji Hao, Ji Yuan and Sword Saintess Jian Yuluo's son; he had been training in the wilderness to hone his fighting skills as well as to increase his cultivation potential so as not to be a disgrace anymore to both his parents.
Ding Xiaoxiao smiled but this was not a look of relief and she was not lost.
She was thinking: Why should I tell you my name? The minute my name is revealed to you is also when it is time for you to die.
Ji Hao quickly said when he saw that this maiden was quiet, "You can trust me. I am an elder of the Emperor Hall Sect and it is the strongest influence in the Five Heavens Peak. Which celestial clans do you belong to? Or do you even have one?"
Ding Xiaoxiao displayed a smile, "The Emperor Hall Sect?"
She was actually thinking: What is this puny celestial sect that even has a name? Let me wipe it off the face of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity then.
Ji Hao had misunderstood her that she may have heard of his celestial sect so he laughed jovially, "That is right. The Emperor Hall Sect is where Sword Saint Ji Yuan is the sect leader and I'm his son. Haha."
Ding Xiaoxiao displayed a most beautiful smile now; just a few days ago, she was thinking how bored that there was no one that could match her with a sword.
She was now thinking of beheading this Sword Saint Ji Yuan to ease her boredom and blood thirst.
So she said with a soft giggle, "This Sword Saint Ji Yuan, where is he now? In the Emperor Hall Sect?"
Ji Hao shook his head and solemnly said, "Hard luck. My father is the greatest sword saint and hero in the entire Desolate Celestial Fraternity. Even if he is not in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, it is hard to even catch him in the Emperor Hall Sect."
Ding Xiaoxiao frowned softly, "Greatest Sword Saint and hero in the entire Desolate Celestial Fraternity?"
She had not heard of this Ji Yuan previously; it was because Ding Xiaoxiao had been in a deep cultivation to increase her cultivation strength to its previous peak and had only recently been called upon by the Great Demon God.
Also, she could not recklessly expend her profound power lest it would attract the attention of the Divine Calamity as the Celestial Realm is hostile to the immortals. But now, it is different; the Divine Calamity had also been suppressed by the profound power of the Great Demon God and they would no longer need to hide their profound powers anymore.
Ji Hao laughed jovially and looked proud of his father, "My father Ji Yuan is definitely the best swordsman in the entire Desolate Celestial Realm and he has no equal."
He was thinking that this young maiden may be too young and that was why she did not know who his father was.
ραпdα---nᴏνa| сom Ding Xiaoxiao suddenly asked curiously, "Then, are you a sword saint?"
Ji Hao laughed, "Alas, unfortunately I am not…"
"Then you can die now." Ding Xiaoxiao had suddenly swung her fingers and had struck him down onto the ground!
Ji Hao was suddenly moaning in great pain as he dropped onto the ground and he was moaning with great agony but could not stand up again.
He really could not believe what had just happened; did he just got attacked by a non-golden celestial?!
There was a twitch on Ding Xiaoxiao's facial countenance; it was because her profound attack would shatter the golden bones of any golden celestials and they would be killed by her in an instant. But this golden celestial was only moaning in great pain and at the moment of her strike, she could feel an inertia force that had repelled her attack.
Even though that inertia force was subtle, she would sense it and this was what had prevented her profound attack from shattering his golden body.
She stared at this Ji Hao who was still struggling with pain to expel her profound force in his body and thought: He has demonic bones in his body? If not, why can't I shatter his body?
Naturally she would still shatter the golden body of this Ji Hao with a more powerful attack but she did not want to make another attack.
This was not her way.
So she said coolly as she walked away, "Consider yourself, golden celestial."
Then she started to look up to the gigantic image aura of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and thought: The Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth will be over in less than a month time and this Ji Yuan would be returning to the Desolate Celestial Fraternity.
Or she could seek him out to duel with him for some amusements.
Or maybe she could use this opportunity to challenge the Death God Mingwang inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth?
All of a sudden she seemed to be spirited again as though she had just found a purpose.
