Chapter 502 Prelude To The Wonderland Of The Ecstasy Island
2 more days had passed.
Xiao Muhan was now suffering great pain as he muttered weakly, “I am dying… and even Yun Chi is not around… I am so miserable…”
But no one took a look in his direction.
Ji Yuan and his group had finally arrived reached a place between two high mountain ridges. Beyond the ridge, there was a lake with a vast expanse of water and there seemed to be no limit to its waters in sight.
A small quarry could be seen and there were at least 500 cultivators that were queuing there and a small ferry could be seen.
Without touching the black stele that was at the quarry, Ji Yuan knew that they had reached the Wonderland of the Ecstasy Island.
Ji Yuan loudly proclaimed, “Let’s go and take a look there. It seems that we have reached the middle final trial now and there is even a trial that is waiting for us.”
Feng Minyue quickly said, “Let’s ignore that place. It is too crowded and it is unlikely that we will be able to find any lucky occurrences.”
Mo Bei began to laugh weakly, “Haha, I do agree with Maiden Feng here.”
Ji Yuan began to look at them with some suspicions, “It seem to me that the two of you already know this place that we are going?”
Feng Minyue turned flustered immediately, “I… don’t know anything about this place!”
Mo Bei protested immediately, “No, no. Of course no. Not at all…”
Ji Yuan began to growl, “I am sure that you have been to that place. Hmm weird…”
He was actually thinking: Didn’t Yun Chi says I won’t be able to return from that place? How come they are able to return from that place?
The sudden protest of Feng Minyue and Mo Bei had caused Ling Feiyue, Yang Mi, Yu Jingjing and Qin Shuang to be curious about the wonderland by the quarry.
Even Bai Qianfeng was thinking that the place was not as dangerous as supposed since even Feng Minyue and Mo Bei could return from it.
Dream Mist was saying all of a sudden, “This island is full of anomalies. Even I can’t see through it. I need to check this place out.”
She was thinking: So this is Ectasy Island? The place that Yun Chi had mentioned just before she had left?
Ji Yuan said casually, “This island is actually called Ectasy Island.”
All of a sudden Mo Bei had grabbed Ji Yuan and he was cursing loudly, “You rascal! You really have been to that place!”
Ji Yuan answered weakly as he broke free from Mo Bei, “Senior, 500 years ago I was just a baby and not even a golden celestial. How do I go to that place? But from the look of it, you seem to have visited that place before?”
Mo Bei was suddenly looking very awkwardly, “Hahaha, I was… only joking with you. Of course, I have never been to that place.”
Feng Minyue said to Ji Yuan and her golden eyes were pleading to him, “I don’t know who is the person that has told you about that place. But you mustn’t go there. Alright?”
Ji Yuan answered frankly, “Yun Chi is there. I want to look for her there.”
Feng Minyue was startled and she looked extremely shocked, “This… this impossible. You are not lying?”𝗇𝗈𝔳𝓔𝑙𝑛ℯxt.𝗰𝞸𝓂
Even Mo Bei was shocked, “It shouldn’t be. That Yun Chi looks so innocent. But come to think of this, she is always dressing so indecent…”
Before Mo Bei could finish, he could suddenly see Qin Shuang’s angry looks so he quickly said. “Junior Ji Yuan, if you insist on going there, I can’t stop you. But Qin Shuang and I are definitely not going there. I shall see you in other parts of the final trial.”
With that he was really biding Ji Yuan his farewell!
Ji Yuan was shocked that his farewell was so sudden.
Even though Ji Yuan did not like Mo Bei to be around him in the trial but he was now used to seeing Mo Bei that he was like an old friend to him.
Mo Bei had suddenly grabbed Xiao Muhan, “You are not going to that place, either.”
Xiao Muhan was startled, “Why can’t I go?”
Mo Bei did not reason with him as he grabbed him away, “Because I have said so!”
Naturally Xiao Muhan a mere saint was not a match for a great saint like Mo Bei. Also, Xiao Muhan was really weak now.
With that Mo Bei had sped off with Xiao Muhan and Qin Shuang.
Qin Shuang barely had the time to say farewell to everyone before she was taken away by Mo Bei hastily.
Ji Yuan began to look at the rest of his group, “Who else is going with me?”
Yang Mi, Yu Jingjing, Ling Feiyue, Little Princess and Bai Qianfeng were naturally going to follow Ji Yuan, no matter what.
Even Feng Minyue just nodded shyly, “I will follow you.”
Ji Yuan looked at the seven maidens and said aloud, “Let’s go to have a look then. We are just there to look for Yun Chi. As long as we stick together, no harm will befall us.”
He sighed briefly as he commented, “At the start of the final trial, we have such a big group. Now we are down to just the 8 of us.”
But he was soon grinning to his group, “Anyway in case if there is a danger, just use your golden talisman…”
Feng Minyue rolled her eyes and reminded him, “You don’t have any golden talisman anymore.”
Ji Yuan began to smile bitterly; he had used up his golden tailsman too soon at the beginning of the trial.
Soon they were down at the quarry.
First thing that they did was to touch the black stele for more information. It comes to no surprise that this was the Wonderland of the Ecstasy Island.
The black stele actually have another message for everyone and that was to enjoy heartily on Ecstasy Island with no inhibitions.
When Ji Yuan and his group had joined the queue at the quarry, many of the cultivators were already looking at their group and they all had a weird look.
Also even as they queued, they were quickly joined by another 150 cultivators and most of them seemed to be in a hurry to join the queue here and they were disinterested in the other trials.
The newbies were very obvious for they were touching the black stele for more information while most of the cultivators could not even be bothered.
It suddenly dawned upon Ji Yuan that many of the cultivators actually know that they were newbies and were looking at them with a smile.
All of a sudden he had a bad feeling about this…
He suddenly felt like he wanted to swim over to his destination immediately. The problem was he did not know how to swim. The only time he could swim was because he was trying to impress Feng Minyue the first time he had met her and had pretended that he could swim with his mind over matter by holding his breath.
His second time, was with Yun Chi when they fallen into the deep and rushing waters; his mind over matter just did not work anymore because Yun Chi had kicked him hard underwater and had caused him to lose his breath.
