The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 530 Bliss City Arena Second Trial (13)



Outside the arena trial, the turmoil that was within Zhi Jiugong could really be imagined as she watched the multiple imageries that were being displayed in the arena. It was so intense that she had even forgotten to play her divine zither.

First, she had seen both her sisters the Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress in a fight with Vice Steward Gu Sangu and Lin Antian.

Then she saw Lin Antian chasing after the Lovely Empress and Ji Yuan.

Afterward Vice Steward Gu Sangu was chasing after the Smiling Divine Maiden and both had run into a terrifying old freak.

She was so engrossed in watching the fights between the Smiling Divine Maiden and Gu Sangu that she had no idea when the mortal enemy that she called the old freak had appeared.

Many of the cultivators also had no idea as well as there were simply too many imageries that were being displayed in the arena and they could only track one imagery at a time. If it was too boring then they would switch to another imagery.

Someone as appealing as the Smiling Divine Maiden naturally attracted scores of divine senses on her imagery. Moreover she was also with the Lovely Empress and the two of them were the main highlights of the arena.

No one except for Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng cared too much for Ji Yuan to view his imagery. And for those that did, they were actually tracking Ye Jing and not Ji Yuan.

Naturally acts of copulations between the cultivators also attracted plenty of attention.

Zhi Jiugong was very much relieved that the old freak had spared the Smiling Divine Maiden after she had humbly kneeled in front of him.

As for Vice Steward Gu Sangu, he was killed when he had tried to chase after the Smiling Divine Maiden for he had bumped into the old freak.

She saw that Steward Gu Bugu was so shocked that he had actually stood up and he was trembling. There was even no time for Steward Gu Bugu to even warn his brother.

No one even knows when the old freak had appeared in the middle of the passage because no one wanted to watch an imagery of an old cultivator.𝑛𝑜𝓋𝓔𝐋𝞰𝗲xt.𝑐𝗈𝓜

Zhi Jiugong’s thin cherry lips were trembling after that incident and she had continued to force herself to track her sisters.

Then she saw that the Lovely Empress and Ji Yuan appeared to be laughing casually together and she was startled: Sister Lu Jiangsu, is this just your ploy or are you really laughing with your enemy? Don’t forget that he is the mortal enemy of our master…

Afterward she saw that Ji Yuan had left to confront Lin Antian and the Lovely Empress was following him.

Soon Ji Yuan had found Lin Antian and they were fighting again.

She was expecting to see Ji Yuan being suppressed by Lin Antian because she had seen how powerful Lin Antian was and that Ji Yuan performance during the group fight earlier was dismaying, to say the least.

This time she was proven to be so wrong.

It was because Ji Yuan reflexes and speed were more than doubled and his strokes were so insanely fast that even her super reflexes golden eyes could barely follow him.

Then she saw Lin Antian profound defenses breaking in front of her eyes and Ji Yuan had used three miracle sword arts with an impossible charging speed.

She could barely believe it because if that was the case, then Ji Yuan would be able to defeat the ninth rank epic desolate raptor alone during the first trial.

Naturally she did not know that Ji Yuan had always concealed his speed attack because he did not want his opponents to know how fast he was able to charge up his profound energies into profound power for the use of his sword art. And moreover, charging up so fast in such a short notice actually required plenty of Ji Yuan’s profound strength in his inner spiritual sea. So it was not an action that Ji Yuan had wanted to reveal so readily.

But the main reason which was known by Ji Yuan, Xiang Li, Anyang and Dream Mist were that Ji Yuan was particularly angry when someone was trying to green him and he would then find the extra reserve profound strength to attack his foes.

Ji Yuan’s performance during his fight naturally attracted the attention of Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng who also did not think that he had a chance too. And they were surprised that Ji Yuan had actually fought differently from previously and he had killed Lin Antian almost effortlessly.

Bai Qianfeng said to Yun Chi, “Did that Lovely Empress fed him a powerful profound pill or something? Profound pills that can upgrade power may be potent but it always has an adverse after effect.”

However Yun Chi did not reply to her for she was still glooming over the appearance of the old freak so she merely nodded.

She was thinking: What is Ji Yuan relationship with that old freak? Their swordplay and sword arts are completely different and yet they are chatting so casually. Did they know each other from an earlier level of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth? The only common trait that they shared, is that they always seem to have plenty of trump cards hidden…

As for Dream Mist, she had continued to watch the imageries with a nonchalant look.

Bai Qianfeng was suddenly shouting to Yun Chi, “Senior Sister Yun Chi, look! That Lovely Empress has suddenly killed Ye Jing and she is merely an avatar. And also the Smiling Divine Maiden has suddenly appeared…”

Zhi Jiugong who were following both the Lovely Empress and the Smiling Divine Maiden was not too surprised. This was the moment to strike down Ji Yuan when he was at his most vulnerable. Finally the Spirit Divination Compass would be proven to be right and Ji Yuan would finally be killed by her two sisters.

But to her startled surprise, the Lovely Empress seemed to be arguing with the Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress seemed to be protecting Ji Yuan.

And then after a short argument, the three of them had actually formed a group together?!

Zhi Jiugong continued to monitor them for several more hours.

She saw that Ji Yuan seemed to know where he was going and he was going fast. And when he had spotted the Twin Black Sparrows, Jian Ba and Jian Ren, he had quickly put them with his sword.

For killing them, Ji Yuan had a permanent +9 Points now, since he had also killed Lin Antian.

As for the Lovely Empress, killing Ye Jing had also counted as +3 Points. So she already had her permanent +6 Points for killing a total of two cultivators.

As for the Smiling Lovely Maiden, she only had a permanent +3 Points and a temporary +2 Points for being in a group with Ji Yuan and the Lovely Empress.

For the next 12 hours, she did not make any slight movement but instead she had found a place for meditation. Ji Yuan and the Lovely Empress had also joined her.

When the time was almost up, the Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress walked away in their group while Ji Yuan was alone.

Hence, without killing anyone the Smiling Divine Maiden now had +6 Points now and she could pass the trial. As for the Lovely Maiden, she had +9 Points now which was more than enough.

For Ji Yuan, he already had a permanent +6 Points and he could pass the trial alone.

When the time was up, Zhi Jiugong began to announce the results of the trial. “The second part of the trial has now ended. Out of the 650 contestants, 48 did not get the +6 Points. These 48 contestants will be punished with a 2 million high grade spirit stone debt. There are also another 244 contestants that have failed because they have all perished inside the second arena trial. Therefore we have 358 Cultivators that will receive an additional of 3 million high grade spirt stones.”

Zhi Jiugong paused for a while before she said musically, “In the third and final trial, the surviving arena contestants will all receive 5 million high grade spirit stones while the top contestant will receive an additional 5 million high grade spirit stones and a celestial-step divine robe. As for the losers, they will be penalized with a fine of 3 million high grade spirit stones…”

Almost all the contestants and speculators were startled and they were all either thinking or talking about the celestial-step divine robe; it was because celestial-step items were extremely rare and moreover this divine robe was a protective profound treasure. And the value of this celestial-step divine robe could easily exceed 100 million high grade spirit stones!
