Soon after Ji Yuan had entered the red portal, he found himself floating in a dark spatial space and the lovely voice of a trial spirit began to say to him.
"Welcome to the Wonderland of the Spirit Divine Realm Trial… this is the Trial of the Spirits…"
Ji Yuan began to nod eagerly and he was grinning.
The lovely voice of the Trial Spirit continued slowly in the background of the spatial space, "After I've explained to you on the mystic laws here, you will be free to start the trial."
"I am all ears." Ji Yuan chuckled.
The Trial Spirit said lovingly, "You will be given a profound ring on your finger. The main objective is to obtain 100 points of trust from the Divine Consort in the trial. You have 7 days to do so. Or 70 days inside the trial to do so since the time flows at a different rate there…"
"… for this trial, you will be sent to the Spirit Divine Realm where the Spirit Race dwells. You may also call them the Spiritas Race..."
"…You will also be allowed to use your golden talisman within 70 days inside to escape from the trial. But by doing so, you will also be failing your trial. However, be warned. Gaining 100 Trust Points does not mean that you can leave the trial and you need to maintain the 100 Trust Points till the 70 days are over. At the same time, I will disguise your robe into a local clothing so that you can blend in for this trial…"
The lovely voice of the Trial Spirit paused for a while before saying, "…so do you have any other questions for me before I send you on your way?"
Ji Yuan began to frown slowly as he tried to understand the nature of this trial, "You mean this is a SS Trial? This doesn't seem to be so hard after all. So, my objective is just to seduce the Divine Consort and gains 100 Trust Points? I am sure that I have no issue about this but my friend Xiao Muhan is going to be in deep trouble. Luckily for him, he now has a golden talisman to exit the trial…"
The Trial Spirit interrupted him impatiently, "What are your questions?"
Ji Yuan continued to ponder, "I wonder what the Spiritas Race looks like. Are they ugly or beautiful? Or they look monstrous…"
The Trial Spirit raised her lovely voice, "Your questions please…"
This sobered Ji Yuan a little as he began to chuckle before taking out 3 golden talismans in his fingers, "I have 3 golden talismans with me as well. I can't possibly die in this SS trial. At the most, I can just forfeit this trial anytime. Haha…"
All of a sudden, the Trial Spirit had zapped Ji Yuan and the 3 golden talismans that were in Ji Yuan's fingers were snatched away by an unknown force and had also disappeared.
Ji Yuan was startled, "What the heck? Did you just steal my golden talismans from me??!"
The Trial Spirit answered coldly, "You must be that Ji Yuan and the cultivator with the Goddess' Tear."
Ji Yuan was startled, "You know me?"
Even Xiang Li and Fairy Anyang who were in Ji Yuan's soul sea were startled that this Trial Spirit had known Ji Yuan.
Xiang Li said to Fairy Anyang: Let me guess. This is Big Brother's ex-girlfriend too?
Fairy Anyang answered weakly: I've got a bad feeling about this…
The Trial Spirit hummed coldly, "Of course I do know you. You are the infamous Ji Yuan that quarreled and argued with all the Trial Spirits in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. In all the years of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, there are no cultivators that are as notorious as your ugly reputation…"
Ji Yuan began to protest halfway, "I am a cultivation hero in my celestial fraternity. And I am also from an orthodox celestial clan. How can you say that I have a most notorious ever reputation in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth? This is impossible, right?"
The Trial Spirit ignored Ji Yuan and continued to say coldly, "And also, you have even taken away 2 Trial Spirits from their Trial Wonderlands. And have even offended my 3 old friends by calling them old fraggots…"
One was Fairy Xiahou Anyang and the other used to be Xiang Li's mistress (she had since transitioned into Ji Yuan's sword spirit now).
"Wait a minute!" Ji Yuan was startled, "You mean you know that 3 old fraggots that can't even appreciate my most impressive ever cultivation hero story? You have no idea how lame they are! Also, I have a most friendly relationships with most of the Trial Spirits in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth except for that 3 old fraggots!"
Xiang Li meanwhile had turned to Fairy Anyang to ask her: Hmm? The Trial Spirits here can communicate with each other?
Fairy Anyang replied weakly: Not all the time. But this is a SS Trial Spirit and she must have a way to view the trial events that are in the lower Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. I don't know her at all.
The Trial Spirit hummed coldly, "Have you also forgotten so fast already how you have offended my other friend in your previous trial?"
Ji Yuan began to frown, "You mean that stupid old Trial Spirit that have stolen my trial rewards?"
The Trial Spirit: …
"Begone now! I don't want to answer any of your questions even if you have one…"
Ji Yuan panicky shouted, "Wait! Wait! How about my 3 golden talismans? Return it to me!"
The Trial Spirit seemed to smile coldly, "Not a chance. This is your due punishment. I am also sending you to where the hardest Divine Consort is. May your trial ends in utter failure."
Ji Yuan was shocked, "Hey! You can't do this to me. You are a Trial Spirit and where is your fairness? This is wanton discrimination…"
But before Ji Yuan could say further, he was kicked down the spatial space with a brilliant flash of light.
Fairy Anyang stared blankly at Xiang Li in Ji Yuan's soul sea: Xiang Li, I think this SS Trial has just turned into a SSS Trial for our lord here…
Even Xiang Li was smiling weakly as she looked at Fairy Anyang: I think Big Brother has screwed up even before the trial has started…
Fairy Anyang nodded bitterly: He ought to respect the Trial Spirits a little bit more… frankly speaking, I actually believe that his reputation is this horrible. How do you even manage to endure him?
Xiang Li began to giggle softly: Is that so? I don't think so.
Fairy Anyang: …
