Chapter 894 To The Third Trial
The 30 minutes short interval was over quickly.
The Trial Spirit announced to everyone, “The barrier to the next location has now been removed. Please step forward to the entrance now.”
Since Ji Yuan was now the leader of his team, he walked to the entrance first and he was quickly followed by Zhao Gao, Heng Wujian and Sun Dashu.
As they walked the entrance, Sun Dashu tried to break the ice further by asking. “Which celestial fraternity are you all from? I am from the Horizon Celestial Fraternity.”
Heng Wujian said coldly, “You talk too much.”
Sun Dashu: …
Ji Yuan: …
Actually, Ji Yuan was also a cultivator that liked to talk too much or else he would not be known as the foul-mouthed Ji Yuan sometimes.
Unlike most of the MCs in cultivation stories that liked to act cool and never talk more than 100 lines in 100 chapters, Ji Yuan was notorious for talking, whether it was bad or good. He did not care because he was like an arrogant young master in his poor region.
Actually, most of the fifth cultivation golden celestials and golden supremacies were like this in his poor region because there were no 12 major celestial sects, 3 divine palaces or other lofty saints to rein them in; all the lower realm cultivators have to be respectful to them.
That was until Ji Yuan and his group of fake friends had been bust by Xue Qianxue one day when they badmouth behind her back.
Unlike the cultivation stories, Ji Yuan and the other golden celestials almost never fought to the death except for some ugly spars; they are too busy drinking, gossiping and telling boastful tales of their invented tales to actually offend a powerful cultivator from the powerful celestial region.
Whatever differences they had in the past was probably when they were not golden celestials. 𝔫𝔬𝓥𝑬𝐋𝑵𝓮xt.𝒞𝑜𝔪
Moreover, most of them are also sect leaders and elders of their almost insignificant celestial small sects.
Most of them like Ji Yuan actually required the help from one another to fight off a powerful desolate monster at times too.
Ji Yuan turned around to grab Sun Dashu by his neck and chuckled, “Brother Sun Dashu! I think you talk too much. Haha. Come, follow me!”
This Sun Dashu was probably from a minor celestial sect like Ji Yuan and that was why he was talking too much unlike the other two great saints.
And he was probably in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth to seek cultivation resources or a cultivation breakthrough because he had reached a bottleneck.
“How old are you, Brother Sun Dashu?”
“1800 years old. How about you Brother Ji Yuan?”
“500 years. Haha…”
When Ji Yuan had said that he was only 500 years as a great saint, this shocked both Heng Wujian and Zhao Gao!
It was because Zhao Gao had only overcome his lightning tribulation at only 2300 years and Heng Wujian had overcome his lightning tribulation at 1800 years. They were both considered to be the geniuses of their generation and also the blessed sons of the heavens!
And furthermore, they were now twice as old now because every tiny step in boundary from half-step great saint to the peak great saint was twice as difficult!
Sun Dashu looked envious and he smiled, “I see that Brother Ji Yuan is such a genius cultivator. You must be a half-step great saint, am I right? And you are here to seek your breakthrough?”
It was considered impolite to ask a cultivation senior about his cultivation realms if he did not want to reveal it.
Now a cultivator is able to conceal their cultivation realm once they have reached the sixth cultivation realm spirit level. Not even a seventh cultivation realm great saint can read the sixth cultivation realm level of a golden supremacy.
So it was not like in the cultivation stories where only the MCs could see the higher cultivation realm of the other cultivators and still could bash them or the opponents of the MCs would be surprised by his lower cultivation realm after he had announced it but they could not read it even though the MCs could read their cultivation realm.
Ji Yuan was actually not offended because this Sun Dashu was more friendly and in his poor region, the golden celestials were all more direct anyway.
“I’m a peaked great saint. Haha…”
Not only was Sun Dashu shocked but the other two great saints Zhao Gao and Heng Wujian were stunned too.
At 500 years, this Ji Yuan was already a peaked great saint?!
This was impossible…
This Ji Yuan looked like the sort that spent more time maintaining his looks than cultivating…
Sun Dashu stammered, “Peaked great saint?! Then you are only here to look for profound treasures? Brother Ji… I mean Senior Ji Yuan must be a lofty cultivation figure in your celestial fraternity and also a famous one.”
As Ji Yuan continued to walk to the entrance, he laughed. “Have you ever heard of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity where the men valued their beards dearly? I am from that celestial fraternity.”
Sun Dashu stared at Ji Yuan for he had no beard…
Ji Yuan continued to laugh, “I am famous there because I have lost my beard. Hahaha…”
Zhao Gao, Heng Wujian: …
Sun Dashu did not know what to say or to react because he did not know whether Ji Yuan was joking or not and he was afraid of offending him. Moreover, Ji Yuan had his arm around his neck now and he was afraid that he may be strangled to the death if he said the wrong things.
Ji Yuan was actually only teasing him because by nature, he was a joker and he just want to see how the others like Zhao Gao and Heng Wujian reacted as well.
Very quickly they were at the entrance now and they had passed through to it. So Ji Yuan stopped talking to Sun Dashu for now.
Ji Yuan, Sun Dashu, Zhao Gao and Heng Wujian soon found themselves on top of a large golden pyramid and all around them were frozen snow.
They saw that there was another entrance in front of them and it led them into the pyramid.
“It seems that the trial starts in there. Let’s go in.” Ji Yuan said and the 3 others were all nodding.
So, they began to walk slowly down the dimly lit steps and into the pyramid.
After descending into the pyramid, they found themselves in a huge hall and the passage ways were all 30 times their heights; this was a massive hallway!
In front of them, they saw a huge armored status sitting on a throne seat in front of them; the knee of this statue was the same as their height and there was an eerily grinned mask on its knees that also resembled the exact face size of a man.
The body armor of this massive statue also had a creepy face mask on it.
Even its shoulder pauldrons and face mask also had the same creepy face.
Ji Yuan muttered, “What is this trial all about?”
Just as he had said that, a portal appeared from between the legs of the massive status and the Trial Spirit said, “The exact trial will start once you have entered the pyramid from this portal…”
Ji Yuan was frowning unhappily even as the trial spirit was still talking, “Wait a minute! You want us to walk between the legs of this status? This looks a little insulting, right?”
