Ji Yuan had exited the trial now and he saw that there were many familiar faces in the vicinity.

He looked a little sheepish for being robbed of his trial reward by a Trial Spirit but at the same time he was happy to see some of his old friends again. 

Yun Chi, the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu, Shui Xisi and Bai Qianfeng had all exited the trial as well and they were looking not so delightful.

Ji Yuan took one look at them and he knew that their trial rewards must also be quite pathetic. 

Ling Feiyue were delighted to see Ji Yuan but she was also unhappily saying, “Why didn’t you burn your golden talisman, Ji Yuan? Do you know that you are actually taking a risk in there?”

Little Princess, Yu Jingjing, Yang Mi, the Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue, Feng Minyue and Zhi Jiugong had all surrounded Ji Yuan and were checking his injuries while showing him their affections. “Ji Yuan. What has happened to you? Are you hurt? Look at your injuries…”

The White Sword Monarch was frowning some distance away and he was standing with Zhan Wuji, Lu Qingyun, Fan Yuqing, Ye Jing, Mo Bei, Qin Shuang, Xiao Muhan, Leng Qiuyue and many others.

He muttered, “My two daughters have forgotten about their old father in a blink of an eye…” 

There were also many other cultivators as the trial had just ended; some had endured till to the very last. Some had perished inside while some others had given up and had used their golden talisman.

For those that had left early, this was the place that they were camping as they waited for the cultivators that were taking the trial. 

Ling Feiyue was gasping with shock when she saw Ji Yuan’s injuries, “Ji Yuan, are you really alright? Do you need any profound pills?” 

Ji Yuan laughed as he was surrounded by so many maidens, “It is nothing really. I was in a battle with three ferocious monsters inside. But I was lucky enough to escape from them. Hahaha…”

The maidens quickly gasped with shock as they all showered Ji Yuan with all their concerns and affections, “These 3 ferocious monsters deserve to have a bad end for hurting you!”

Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi: …

Even the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu could not help but displayed an awkward look at Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi. 

She shrugged her shoulders as she tried to interrupted the gatherings that were around Ji Yuan, “Sisters. Sister Jiugong, Sister Lixue. I am back alive…”

“Later, Sister Jiangsu.” The Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue had interrupted her. “You look alright but on the other hand, look at poor Ji Yuan. He is so badly hurt. He must have risked himself to save you.”𝑵𝑶𝓋𝗲𝓵𝒩𝓔xt.𝑪𝗈𝔪

The Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu: …

She muttered weakly, “He isn’t honest at all. How can he be a great saint in the first place?”

Yun Chi hummed coldly as he said to the Lovely Empress, Shui Xisi and Bai Qianfeng. “I bet that he must be a liar in his past life as well.”

Shui Xisi nodded, “He must be a most unromantic cultivator in his past life and so is in this life as well!”

Even Bai Qianfeng could not help but took a dig at Ji Yuan as she whispered to them, “I am betting that in his past life, he must have killed himself during his divine calamity for being a liar.”

The 3 maidens quickly agreed that Ji Yuan must have told a big lie just before he had died in his previous life and began to curse him softly for describing them as ‘3 ferocious monsters’.

The Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu smiled weakly to the other 3 maidens, “I am more surprised that his golden skeleton did not crack under your intense beatings.”

Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng began to shift a little uncomfortable; it was because they had delivered a little more profound power on Ji Yuan than necessary as they were no longer restricted inside the trial earlier. 

But thankfully, Ji Yuan did not seem to be too badly injured. 

Shui Xisi offered a suggestion, “Ji Yuan is just a male chauvinist. I am betting that he is just suppressing his pains due to his manly pride.”

Yun Chi nodded before she walked over to Ji Yuan with a curved smile, “Ji Yuan. Why don’t you share with everyone on the rewards that you have got inside the trial? I am sure that you must have got something really good?”

After all, Ji Yuan had helped the 2 God Immortals to escape from the Goddess Star Palace and he was even grinning with great pride when it was his turn to claim his trial reward. 

When Yun Chi had said that, all the other maidens including Shui Xisi, the Lovely Empress and Bai Qianfeng had all crowded around Ji Yuan and were also asking him. “Ji Yuan, what did you got for this trial?”

Ji Yuan blinked his golden eyes before he rubbed his chin, “Erm, if I tell you that I’ve got nothing for my trial reward, would you believe me?”

Immediately all the maidens displayed looks of great disbelief and were muttering, “Ji Yuan, you must be teasing us. This is not possible. You have completed the trial…”

Even Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress had looks of disbelief as they stared at Ji Yuan. 

Shui Xisi hummed coldly, “How can he get nothing in the trial? Do you all know that he has got 2 immortal profound treasures inside the trial too. They are Golden Natal Divine Pearl and the Immortal Ascension Profound Pill!”

The other maidens were startled.

“2 immortal profound treasures?”

“Ji Yuan, why didn’t you tell us?”

“Can you show us?”

“We just want to take a look.”

Ji Yuan looked a little sheepish as he tried to calm the maidens down, “Hahaha… at this moment, I can’t really show you the Golden Natal Divine Pearl yet…”

“Selfish!”

“Ji Yuan just does not want to show it to us…”

“He is so selfish…”

“This is his lucky occurrence. Maybe we shouldn’t impose our wills on him?” Feng Minyue who was more sensible than the rest had actually tried to argue with the other maidens. 

And her only supporter was Yang Mi. 

Little Princes looked a little hurt as she said mesmerizingly, “Hmph! Even our relationship cannot withstand your selfishness!”

Ling Feiyue hummed coldly, “Maybe he is just being his cautious self again and he is afraid that we may betray his trust on him. Come to think of this, I still can’t forgive him for attacking me inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth!”

She had actually forgiven Ji Yuan for attacking her but at this moment, she was a little upset with him so she was settling old scores again. 

Ji Yuan quickly said to pacify all the maidens, “However I can show you my Immortal Ascension Profound Pill. This wondrous immortal profound pill is a miracle pill that can allow anyone to ascend to the Immortal Divine Realm…”

When he had said that, the maidens were all gasping with shock. 

Ling Feiyue hastily interrupted, “An immortal profound pill that really allows you to ascend to the Immortal Realm?! There is such a good thing in this world?”

Ji Yuan laughed, “Yea. Unfortunately, there is only one…”

All of a sudden Yun Chi had interrupted him as she had thought of something, “Ji Yuan, this immortal Ascension Profound Pill may still be useful. We can actually make full use of this.”

Ji Yuan laughed and he said without understanding her intentions, “You mean we can use it to save my good friend Xiao Muhan over there? But he is just an initial saint Hahaha. He needs to be at least a great saint in order to use it. You have just reminded me to try to save his depraved soul…”

“No,” Yun Chi interrupted Ji Yuan as she said quietly. 

With a soft sigh, she lowered her voice to say. “The Great Demon God has sealed the way to the Immortal Realm. This Immortal Ascension Profound Pill may just be the only thing that can get the Pangu Immortals to know the devious scheme of the Great Demon God and his whereabouts.”

Ji Yuan blinked his golden eyes before he looked slowly at the maidens, “You may be right…”

But all of a sudden, the Lovely Empress, the Smiling Divine Maiden and Zhi Jiugong were all answering at the same time. “Don’t look at me. I’m not going to the Immortal Realm. I’ve just given up my chance of ascension…”

When the Lovely Empress, the Smiling Divine Maiden and Zhi Jiugong had left Bliss City, they had also given up the chance to use a unique immortal formation that was there to ascend to the Immortal Realm together. 

And the reason why they had given up on ascending to the Immortal Realm was because of Ji Yuan. 

Ji Yuan began to turn to look at the faraway White Sword Monarch before he started to laugh while looking at the Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue and Yang Mi, “Didn’t my old man says he has once screwed up his chance of a proper ascension to the Immortal Realm because he has overextended his stay in the Celestial Realm?”

Yang Mi was startled as she said to Ji Yuan, “Are you thinking of sending my father to run an errant for you?”

The White Sword Monarch had caught Ji Yuan’s look on him and he was shouting, “What the heck are the whole lot of you talking there all by yourselves? Can’t you see that we have so many of us here waiting for you?”

Fan Yuqing the Devil Goddess who was standing by the White Sword Monarch’s side, was smiling alluringly. “Alas, it seems that my Sister Sisi is enjoying her company over there than with her sister here. Even my closest sister Feng Minyue is also not coming my way. This Ji Yuan is really too lucky.”
