Chapter 474 The Gods’ Monument City (1)
After another day and a half of traveling through the vast forbidden desert, Ji Yuan began to reckon everyone to take a look in front.
He was awed for a while.
It was because the fog in front had suddenly lifted and thousands of gigantic monuments could be seen, the highest being 300m while the smallest was 50m!
Ji Yuan began to grin as he rubbed his nose, “It seemed that we have found one of the wonderlands of cultivation. I can use plenty of profound energies in front of us.”
Yun Chi was also smiling, “And you have also successfully evaded all the desolate monsters as well.”
Ji Yuan laughed jovially, “I’ve actually learnt it from you. I’ve actually learnt fast.”
He had recalled her leading the Green Faction while they were on the way to the Fallen Gods City.
Yun Chi hummed with a smile, “Sometimes men can be more dangerous than the desolate monsters.”
Ji Yuan stopped his grin slowly as he looked at the gigantic monuments in front of them, “I can sense at least a dozen super cultivators in that place.”
Most of the great saint and saintess in Ji Yuan’s team had already sensed the presence of the super cultivators. This included Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping.
However Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping did not have any fear; in fact, she had actually welcomed the presence of more male super cultivators.
When it was nightfall, she would then set upon her plans to seduce Ji Yuan…
As she thought of that, her golden eyes began to look behind her as she wondered: Weird. How can’t I sense the profound animus of the cultivator that has been following us? Or is he dead?
She began to sigh softly: I’ve thought that he was a cockroach but unfortunately, he is but a useless man…
Mo Bei was shouting excitingly, “So what are we all waiting for? Let’s go there and have a look!” And he was casting a glance at Qin Shuang: Finally they can find a place to get together tonight…
Xiao Muhan and Hua Yingxiong were also grinning; they were all having the same thoughts as Mo Bei and Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping.
It seemed that tonight would really be an extremely busy night after all.
Ji Yuan suddenly felt a cold shiver running down through his spine. Call it instinct then and he had a really unspeakable feeling today…
But he tried to shake off this uneasy feeling and hurried his team to the distant cultivation wonderland.
The monuments in front were further than he had thought and it took them more than four hours to reach even at top speed.
What more Ji Yuan was stunned that the entire remnants of tall arching monuments were hundreds of miles wide!
It was like seeing a superclass city!
When they had reached the array cornerstones of the towering monuments, they immediately knew that this cultivation wonderland was called the Gods’ Monument City.
And previously they had not noticed a black cliff that had towered to the skies and all the thousands of towering monuments were all actually surrounding it.
These tower monuments were actually not smooth but hundreds of caves were dotting it and there were even stairs leading to these caves!
Ji Yuan and his team were all inhaling softly; they could tell that all these monstrous tall monuments had some profound insights and there were multiples of cultivation arrays embedded in them.
This wonderland of cultivation sounded too good to be true and they could literally stay here for their cultivation breakthroughs till the final trial was over!
Xiao Muhan was already muttering, “I’ve decided not to shift my butt from this place anymore. The other cultivation wonderlands may not be better and may even be more dangerous especially when you are in the interior. I don’t want my cultivation profound treasures to be recycled in this place.”
When Yun Chi and Ji Yuan had killed the two grand elders of the Evil Cultivation Palace, they actually did not get any of the profound treasures including their spatial storages because their fights had taken place outside the spiritual laws of the trials. All the profound treasures were re-absorbed by the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth to be re-used again.
Feng Minyue did not disagree with Xiao Muhan but she merely said quietly, “That’s right.”
Ji Yuan chuckled, “I am going into the interior of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.”
Xiao Muhan muttered weakly, “You are so.. crazy…”
But Ji Yuan laughed it off as he continued his march, “Come. Let’s go in to check the place.”
Barely had they entered into the interior of the Gods’ Monument City toward the black cliff, they could see the profound presence of more than forty cultivators. Some were hidden and some others were in visible view.
Most of them were meditating for their insights but because Ji Yuan had brought a large team into the Gods’ Monument City, many of the cultivators that were already in this place were taking Ji Yan and his team a curious look.
These cultivators were all in the fifth realm, sixth realm and seventh realm but none of them were truly weak or else they would not be in this place. As a matter of fact, they were all super cultivators in their own right, with their own unique inheritances.
Also, Ji Yuan could feel the huge pressure that was in this place and the closer that they were to the black cliff, the more intense the pressure was!
But a cultivator had caught Ji Yuan’s notice almost immediately and he was the black robe cultivator with the black spear, Lin Antian.”
Ji Yuan was surprised as he thought: He is also here?
All of a sudden a monk cultivator had suddenly walked from the shadows of the towering monument toward Ji Yuan and his team as he said respectfully. “May the Great Beyond Goddess blesses you. I am Jue Jie, a great saint from the Celestial Tranquil Fraternity. Maybe I can be your guide in this place?”
Ji Yuan saw that he was polite so he answered respectfully, “We have just arrived. I am Ji Yuan…”
“Ji Yuan, he is…” Yu Jingjing was gasping softly. Her Holy Oracle Sect had kept records of all the renowned cultivators for the past ten thousand years.
“Yes?” Ji Yuan said curiously. “Who is he?”
Yu Jingjing took a look at her startled Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping and Yang Mi before she mustered her voice to say, “He is Jue Jie! The super cultivator who had the deepest foundation in his inner spiritual seas and he has never learnt a single offensive or defensive profound arts in his life. Instead, he focused on expanding his inner spiritual seas and cultivation realm. Also he is a peaked great saint as well!”
With one breath, she had blurted it out all for Ji Yuan and for all the others to hear!
Jue Jie laughed humbly, “I am greatly humbled that I will be recognized by maiden. May I know your name?”
Yu Jingjing immediately replied. “I am Holy Oracle Priestess Yu Jingjing from the Holy Oracle Sect, hailing from the Endless Celestial Fraternity…”
“Hold!” Ji Yuan had suddenly stopped her. “How can you give him your name? How do you know if he is a good guy or a bad guy?”
Yu Jingjing protested immediately, “Great Saint Jue Jie is naturally an orthodox cultivator. As a matter of fact, he is one of top three orthodox exponents in the Celestial Tranquil Fraternity. It is said that there is not a profound art in the entire Celestial Realm that can penetrate through to his profound defense…”
“He is merely a defense cultivator?” Ji Yuan interrupted her and Yu Jingjing failed to see that he had an ugly look.
But it was not lost on Ling Feiyue, Bai Qianfeng and Feng Minyue who were all shaking their heads lightly; it was because Ji Yuan was acting too defensive and as though he was being green.
Ji Yuan turned to look at Jue Jie, “She may knows you but I have never heard of you before. Therefore you are not as renowned as she has claimed.”
Yu Jingjing was held speechless by Ji Yuan.
How could Ji Yuan have heard of him? He isn’t even from his celestial fraternity or surrounding celestial fraternities!
But Jue Jie good-naturely said, “There is a black cliff here. If you can hit it with all your might then it will show you your rankings and you can even inscribe your name on it. This is also a reflection of your cultivation strength and you can choose the monuments of your choice to meditate upon for your spiritual insights.
“What is so hard about this?” Ji Yuan hummed softly before he walked to inspect the black cliff.
He looked up and was suddenly horrified to see that Jue Jie had scored 10,101 points and he was first while Lin Antian was literally second with 9999 points.
His opponent was actually the number one cultivator here?!
Had he offended the wrong figure?
Jue Jie smiled at him, “The highest limit is 33,333 points but no one has ever reached that limit before. So do you want to try?”
Before Ji Yuan could reply him, Mo Bei had shouted loudly, “I am Mo Bei from the Mo Clan in the Desolate Celestial…” And he had slammed the black cliff mightily with his Eons Divine Art.
To Mo Bei, this was the perfect chance that he could show off his profound might!
A white streak of light shot up the black cliff and stop at the 6,777 point mark.
Mo Bei gulped with great shock, “This… this… is… impossible…”
Jue Jie was smiling, “You can try as many times as you want but I am afraid that your results can only get worse and not better.”
“Great Saint Jue Jie.” Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping had greeted him all of a sudden. “I am Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping of the Holy Oracle Sect. This is my pleasure to know you.”
She was immediately looking at him with a captivating look and in the most friendliest manner. It was as though they were the best of friends.
Jue Jie immediately returned a polite hand gesture, “I must be blind not to recognize the Grand Matriarch of the Holy Oracle Sect…”
He did not manage to finish his words for he was suddenly distracted by Ji Yuan.
For Ji Yuan had taken out his saintly step divine sword and on it were two beautiful divine halos!
Ji Yuan was saying aloud to the black cliff, “Xiang Li, I am going to bang you hard now!” And he had displayed the ultimate ‘Sacred Swords sword’ stance, a miracle sword art and had slammed his saintly sword into the black cliff.
And Xiang Li was also shouting: YYEAA!
A thunderous impact occurred and there was a bright streak of light that shot up to the very top, bypassing Mo Bei, the other cultivators, Lin Antian and even Jue Jie, stopping only at the 10,404 mark.
Ji Yuan had scored 10,404 points to overtake Jue Jie and he could leave his name at the very top of this black cliff!
Jue Jie was startled when he saw Ji Yuan’s saintly sword, “This is a saint-step divine sword and the profound power of your sword art is a miracle sword art…”
Ji Yuan smiled as he looked slowly at everyone to proclaim himself King of the World, “I am so awesome…”
All of a sudden Dream Mist had flashed in front of the black cliff and had given it a gentle kick; the entire ground seemed to be vibrating like an earthquake and the white streak of light had suddenly shot past Ji Yuan’s previous record and ended up at the 33,333 point mark.
All the cultivators including Ji Yuan almost toppled over in great horror as they saw the results that were on the black cliff…
Everyone was suddenly asking secretly: who is she?𝚗𝐎𝐕𝔢𝐋𝑵𝔢xt.𝗰𝑶𝓶
And that included Mo Bei, Xiao Muhan, Hua Yingxiong, Grand Matriarch Xi, Yang Mi and also Qin Shuang!
But Dream Mist merely asked innocently, “Is this plaything really so difficult?”
Ji Yuan had bent over and there was a shimmer of tear in his golden eyes; it was because Divine Mist had drained all his inner spiritual seas with just a single attack!
Even Anyang and Xiang Li were speechless as they muttered together: we forget that she shares the same soul sea as our master…
