For the next 3 days of the cultivation rest, Ji Yuan did not cultivate at all.
Rather he began to fast and hold a simply remembrance services for his friend Xiao Muhan, confidants Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu, fiancée Chu Lixue and lastly his consort Ling Feiyue.
He refreshed the good old times when he was drinking and quarreling with Xiao Muhan and all the silly things that they did together.
âBrother Xiao Muhan, Iâll always remember you. We are renowned as the Two Brushes and now I am the only Brush that is still alive. It will never be the same again⊠I used to chide you for your cowardice but actually you are just being cautious. Now it is too late to wish that you are less brave now for you are no more⊠farewell my Brother Xiao MuhanâŠâ
âMaiden Zhi Jiugong, you are the most refined maiden that Iâve ever known. Now, we can no longer exchange any instructions in music together⊠and I miss you ever since that nightâŠâ
He remembered that passionate night that he had with Zhi Jiugong in the Demonic Divine RealmâŠ
âLovely Empress Lu Jiangsu⊠you are the most lovely maiden and not free of charge for I have not yet banged you. If I can turn back the clock, Iâll bang you even if it is not free of charge. I miss your lovely looks and your noisy chats⊠farewell Maiden Lu JiangsuâŠâ
âSenior Sister Chu Lixue, I really miss you. Especially the night when I have finally copulated with you. Imagine my excitement when I am parting your legs and touching you⊠you are indeed the Smiling Divine Maiden. I miss your divine smiles⊠this trial is too cruel to the two of us⊠farewell too, my fiancĂ©e Lixue. Iâll break the terrible news of your demise to your Sister Yang Mi and my old man⊠I hope that they can take it well⊠even though my old man is an old cultivator that have seen many cycles of deaths but I donât believe that he wonât break down or else he wonât be looking for you in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth every 500 yearsâŠâ
âAlas, Ling Feiyue⊠my consort⊠my Dark Mistress Ling FeiyueâŠâ
âWhy did you leave me so early? Didnât we promise to stick with each other forever? We have even created the Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon together. I canât accept your demiseâŠâ
âWe have been together for so long during the past 2 years. We been through numerous trials and battles together. And you have decided to leave me now? This is too ridiculous and shameless!â
âIf you are still alive, then I would be willing to let you scold me whatever you want to and I wonât rebuke you back. I know that you canât be bothered to be angry with me but Iâll promised to let you gossip about me and I wonât be angry with you. Is that alright with you?â
âSilly me⊠you are no more now⊠FeiyueâŠâ
âI still remember how we have met and how I have offended you by touching you while you are in a manâs clothing⊠how we have fought 100 years later⊠how we have braved the purple lightning tribulation together⊠how I have given you an emperor-step divine sword for your protection⊠alas⊠Feiyue⊠Feiyue⊠you are as refined as Maiden Zhi Jiugong and your smiles as heavenly as my Senior Sister Chu LixueâŠâ
âFarewell my Consort Ling FeiyueâŠâ
Ji Yuan spent the 3 days thinking about his lost ones and he was bitter; he did not like this murderous trial at all despite the benefits that he had gained so far.
Xiang Li and Anyang did not know how they should comfort Ji Yuan but they could sense that he was quite heartbroken and he did not answer them for 3 days.
Xiang Li was also grieved as she said to Anyang: No more bang, bang.
While Ji Yuan looked like a strong person outside but in his heart, he was a sentimental person.
That was the reason why Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan, who were his core protégés would fall in love with him even though he had been very strict and was sometimes appearing to be heartless to them with his ugly words.
The 3 days of cultivation rest was quickly over.
The Trial Spirit was now announcing, âThe fifth trial will be starting soonâŠâ
Ji Yuan, Yang Batian, Wu Henan and Gongsun Yi were aroused from their cultivation rest and they were also looking much refreshed than 3 days earlier.
The Trial Spirit continued, âThe fifth trial will be called the Hungry Games Trial that will last for 5 days. In this trial, you will be split into 5 main teams of 11 each. All 5 teams shall be sent to 5 different locations on an island and your objective is to reach the center. The rules will be explained to you after your team is formedâŠâ
âAs for now, you will be sent to your team first and like the previous trials, you will be given an opportunity to get to know your team and to plan for your strategiesâŠâ
Ji Yuanâs first thought after hearing the Trial Spirit was that he may be able to meet Shui Xisi again even though she may be from a different team since they would all be competing to reach the same objective.
But there was something that he could not figure it out yet; there would be 6 winning champions but there are actually 5 teams with 11 champions each. So how do they determine the winning champions?
But before Ji Yuan could ponder further, he was taken by a flash of light to a new arena where 10 other champions were also being sent to. đđŹđŁđŹđđ”âŻxt.đđđ
When his vision had cleared, he saw that there were already 10 other champions that were already in place there.
But to his utter surprise, he saw that Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu were among the 10 champions!
He stammered almost incoherently, âThey are not dead?!â
Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu were both delighted to see Ji Yuan and they had quickly surrounded him.
Zhi Jiugong smiled to Ji Yuan, âJi Yuan, you are well. I have heard that you have become the Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan, the Divine Lord Ji Yuan and also the personal guard of honor for the Goddess Ai Tina.â
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, âHaha⊠I have a little luck hereâŠâ
âHey Ji Yuan! How come youâre not dead yet?â The Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu chuckled.
Ji Yuan bitterly said, âAlthough I am not dead but I am afraid that my Senior Sister Chu Lixue and also your protĂ©gĂ© sister is one with the heavens nowâŠâ
The Lovely Empress stepped hard on his foot as she said unhappily, âRubbish! My senior sister will be well!â
Ji Yuan bitterly said, âI hope soâŠâ
Zhi Jiugong said quietly, âSenior Sister Lixue, she is a peaked great saintess. Iâve faith in her.â
But her saddened eyes had betrayed her instead.
Ji Yuan sighed heavily before he was soon adding with more bitterness, âMy Feiyue is also no more tooâŠâ
Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress did not know how to comfort Ji Yuan when they saw his expressions.
When they saw Ji Yuanâs sorrowful look, they were saddened as well; while they did not know Ling Feiyue for a long time but Ling Feiyue was actually the spiritual leader of the maidens as she filled them in with all the ridiculous things that Ji Yuan had ever done.
To them, Ling Feiyue was a close sister and she was a irreplaceable bridge to the other maidens that they did not know yet such as Xue Qianxue, Saintess Fang Zhenfei (Jiajia), Fairy Ye Chengxi, Shangguan Yan, Saintess Yuluo and Ling Tianshui.
But now, she was gone.
The Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu pursed and bit her tender lips, âJi Yuan, I know that you are grieved but please be strong. We donât want this to happen as wellâŠâ
The Trial Spirit had suddenly announced, âYou have 1 hour to get to know each other firstâŠâ
ââââââââââââ
