Chapter 683 Prelude To The 2nd Upper Final Trial (1)
The upper area of the final trial was indeed dangerous.
From the towering mountains, a gigantic desolate beast with 4 legs and 2 arms that were shaped like sharpened wings were slowly roaming the towering mountains in search of a prey.
This was an epic 8th rank desolate monster and it was also a formidable looking epic desolate monster.
Ji Yuan, Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi, Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Feng Minyue, Yu Jingjing and Yang Min were trying to conceal themselves at a rocky ledge to the right.
As for the Lovely Empress, Zhi Jiugong, the Smiling Divine Maiden, the White Sword Monarch, Mo Bei, Qin Shuang and Xiao Muhan, they were concealing on the left. 𝑵𝑶𝓋𝗲𝓵𝒩𝓔xt.𝑪𝗈𝔪
They were all waiting for this epic desolate monster to walk past and they did not want to fight against such a formidable epic desolate monster.
It was because this was an epic class desolate monster and its fighting strength could top even most 9th rank desolate profound beasts!
This was a king of the 8th rank desolate beasts that they were seeing it and they did not dare to even train their divine sense on it lest it would betray their hiding places.
When the gigantic epic desolate beast was finally gone, Xiao Muhan began to laugh jovially. “Haha. It is afraid of us.”
When Ji Yuan had heard his laugher, he rolled his golden eyes as he muttered a curse to Yun Chi, “He is trying to impress you and is trying to green me.”
But Yun Chi simply smiled and there was a soft flush on her cheeks, “You should know my heart. So how are your injuries?”
Ji Yuan laughed softly as he patted his chest, “I am fine now.”
In the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, the speed of recovery was actually 20 times in the final trial than in the Celestial Realm. This was a spark contrast when Ji Yuan had first stepped into the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth when the high level cultivators had sluggish recovery to prevent them from fighting the lower level golden celestials.
With Ji Yuan’s recovery speed, it only took him just 2 days to become a fighter again.
Shui Xisi was giggling, “He is like a tough nut that can’t be cracked.”
Bai Qianfeng was also smiling at Shui Xisi’s remarks.
Actually Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng and Yun Chi did not hit Ji Yuan on his vital parts so there was almost no chance that he would get any internal injuries.
But Ji Yuan liked to exaggerate his injuries so he could win some sympathies from the maidens but none of them including the Lovely Empress were falling for his tricks.
Ji Yuan smiled to Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng before he asked curiously, “Did you manage to gain any insights while inside the Goddess Star Palace?”
Bai Qianfeng nodded, “It is only a brief cultivation insight. But if I were to mediate for 10,000 years in seclusion, I may be able to gain the insight.”
“I would need maybe 3000 years.” Yun Chi said coolly.
Ji Yuan was startled; 10 000 and 3000 years?! That is long even by the years of the golden celestials depending on their lightning tribulation. He doubted that he may be even be here 10 000 years ago.
But they are immortals and they have such a long life…
This was not the main issue that Ji Yuan had. His main issue was that he could bang them for 3000 and 10 000 years. This is simply too insane and he cannot accept such an outcome.
Maybe by then, even his daughter would grow up to become a maiden and without knowing that she has got a papa.
Even the maidens that were next to Ji Yuan were startled that Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng may be going to seclusion for such a long time.
However their chats were soft because only Ji Yuan’s closest group knows that Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng are actually immortals.
So Ji Yuan frowned, “Give me a little more time. I’ll show you my Golden Natal Divine Pearl…”
He was quickly interrupted by Xiao Muhan who had raised his voice on the other side, “You know. For an epic desolate monster to appear in this place, there must also be some miracle herbs. We should follow it to its hideout…”
Ji Yuan interrupted him almost immediately, “We shall go to the opposite direction and that will be our final destination.”
Xiao Muhan began to laugh weakly for Ji Yuan was the de facto leader of this group.
Ji Yuan did not cast Xiao Muhan out because he was actually protecting his friend; he did not expect for Mo Bei and Xiao Muhan to actually reach the upper area of the final trial.
Xiao Muhan was only an initial saint and Ji Yuan was bemused that even if he got 10 golden talismans with him, this would still be futile.
It was because even though his Senior Mo Bei was a little formidable but he was more interested to protect Maiden Qin Shuang than Xiao Muhan.
As he did not want his best friend to die in this place, he pretended to grudgingly accept Xiao Muhan into his party.
Ji Yuan suddenly had a brilliant thought as he whispered to Yun Chi, “Why don’t you scout ahead of us by checking for us where the trial portals are? After all, you can fly.”
Yun Chi rolled her golden eyes before she smiled coolly, “I am afraid this is impossible.”
Ji Yuan: ???
The other maidens: ???
Yun Chi explained with a soft sigh, “Why do you think we have Bliss City in the middle area instead of the upper trial area? It is because the upper trial areas are filled with deadly traps to kill any trespassing immortals. There are plenty of hidden immortal formations in these mountains so I can’t fly recklessly and who knows if I may even be a target in this place and endanger all of you.”
When Ji Yuan had heard her, he bitterly said. “Just like in the previous trial, it is designed to destroy the intruding immortals?”
Yun Chi nodded slowly, “Even the difficult will change when I have entered the portals. It has been so long since I have entered a trial in the upper trial area that I have almost forgotten how dangerous it can be.”
Then she touched her belly with a blissful look, “I don’t want to take any risk anymore. It is because I have a daughter now and I am going to protect her no matter the costs…”
When she had said that, all the maidens around Ji Yuan had an awkward look but they were also happy for Yun Chi.
Shui Xisi giggled to damper the atmosphere a little, “I don’t get it. It is so hard for even golden celestials to have a child. And Ji Yuan can actually have a child with an immortal. I still don’t believe it.”
Ji Yuan took a meaningful look at her before he grinned shamelessly, “That is because I am powerful in that area. Haha… you can try me if you don’t believe me.”
Yun Chi, Shui Xisi: …
Feng Minyue, Ling Feiyue, Little Princess: …
Yu Jingjing, Yang Mi: …
