Chapter 559 The Secret Immortal Array (1)

The Smiling Divine Maiden, Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress had indeed taken Ji Yuan and his group to a distant mountain that was in the east, far from Bliss City.

When they had said that it was an underground city below Bliss City, it was not exactly under Bliss City.

It actually took them 2 hours to get there even when they were in almost full throttle and it was approximately 200 miles away.

Along the way, the Lovely Empress was constantly striking a conversation with Ji Yuan and it was obvious to Ling Feiyue and the rest of the maidens in Ji Yuan's group that the Lovely Empress was interested in Ji Yuan.

And Ji Yuan did not shy away from the Lovely Empress either and he was constantly laughing along with her.

During the time in the arena trials, they had already grown very comfortable with each other.

Zhi Jiugong on the other hand had a mixed reaction; it was because she had missed out the chance to get to know Ji Yuan better and that she still owed him an unfulfilled wish.

And she could also see the changes in the Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress as well.

Actually, she had not been expecting the Smiling Divine Maiden to have a change of heart; it was because the Smiling Divine Maiden was known as the icy smiling maiden, her icy heart was too hard to crack and it was not possible for her to change her heart to love someone.

Indeed the Smiling Divine Maiden had not and she had in fact told Ji Yuan that if destiny wills it then they would be together in the next life. Her loyalty to the Death God was absolute and that was why she had to return to him.

However when she had later learnt that the Death God was actually a maiden, she was stunned and this caused her to think of her many affections that she had for Ji Yuan; they don't have to be together in the next life after all.

As for the Lovely Empress, she had truly fallen in love with Ji Yuan and she was not afraid to admit it. However love and loyalty were two different matters. Therefore she had chosen to go back to the Death Faction to accept her punishments. If Ji Yuan truly loves her, then chaste or not chaste, he would still want her, right?

In the Celestial Realm, there were many widows due to the high mortality of the cultivation world. So remarrying was never a taboo.

The Smiling Divine Maiden gently said to all, "We have arrived."

They had arrived between some mountains with a crystal clear pool among the groves.

As soon as the Smiling Divine Maiden had said that, she began to reveal a secret profound treasure and immediately a golden portal was seen in front of them.

"Let's go in," she said simply.

Ji Yuan immediately said, "Wait a minute. We should examine this area for any traps first or maybe there are cultivators that are around…"

The short old man immediately kicked Ji Yuan inside the golden portal, "I trust my daughter, you idiot!"

Almost all the maidens were giggling because they all knew that Ji Yuan was fond of doing his sometimes meaningless exploration. In the early levels of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, a super cautious Ji Yuan had cause them a lot of delays.

Inside the golden area was a huge passage and the Smiling Divine Maiden soon led them to portals after portals within as she said, "Without me to guide you, you will surely be lost."

Soon they had come to a sword pavilion in the middle of a super large cavern. All around this sword pavilion were thousands of swords, and many were the famous swords of the dead cultivators over thousands of years.

Ji Yuan began to blink his golden eyes for he had never seen so many divine swords in his entire life. "So this is the secret immortal array that we will be destroying?"

The Smiling Divine Maiden nodded, "Breaking this secret immortal array will stop any powers from activating the secret trials of Bliss City. However as this place contains extremely powerful killing profound energies, only the strongest cultivator could actually move to that sword pavilion over there..."

Ji Yuan laughed as he wanted to be as awesome as possible in front of the Smiling Divine Maiden, "I don't believe..."

And he had immediately flew toward the sword pavilion. But barely 1/10 of the way into the array, he was suddenly pushed back with a tremendous force and dozens of profound sword energies had pierced into his golden body!

Ji Yuan immediately coughed out blood and he was startled, "What a powerful sword array!"

Bai Qianfeng had caught hold of Ji Yuan as she smiled coolly, "My lord, are you alright? This is a most powerful sword array and is also an immortal one. Naturally it is hard for you to go to the center. Even if you have used your spirit animus, it will still be pointless because your spirit animus is not a defense spirit animus and is a special type that can enhance you. However, it still cannot withstand the brutality of this immortal sword array."

After Bai Qianfeng had explained it, Ji Yuan was now smiling awkwardly. "So we can do nothing against this secret immortal array?"

Bai Qianfeng smiled, "Not really."

Then she pointed at Yun Chi and the short old man, "Including me, the two of them are strong enough."

Then she was also pointing at Dream Mist, "Or maybe her as well."

Bai Qianfeng was giggling lovingly at Ji Yuan as she laughed charmingly to Ji Yuan, "My lord, are you a noob? This is an array and a most powerful array. You can't just barge into it just like this. You have to trend very carefully as the steps will change in the next blink of an eye. Therefore, to break this array, either you must be a knowledgeable array master or you are strong enough to neutralize the sword profound energies that are coming to your way."

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes and he immediately pointed at the short old man, "I am noob because I happen to have a noob old master who never teaches me anything except for sword arts."

The short old man immediately frowned, "Don't use your laziness as an excuse!"

Ji Yuan immediately protested, "As though you can afford the spirit stones to teach me the array cultivations?"

Meanwhile Ling Feiyue was sighing softly, "We are all golden saints here and we can't do a thing to this secret immortal array? I don't believe too…"

All of a sudden, she had displayed her sword spirit and raised her sword as she displayed her thousands swords profound sword art into the center of the sword pavilion

But as soon as her sword profound art had entered into the array, the sword energies from the thousands of swords in this sword immortal array were all attacking Ling Feiyue's sword profound art and had dissipated it in the next instant.

Ling Feiyue was startled for this was her most powerful sword profound art and it was destroyed as soon as she had displayed it. "This…"

Yun Chi said nonchalantly, "Stop wasting your profound strength. Let me go inside first."

The short old man was staring at Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng as he thought: These two maidens are actually as strong as me here?!

Yun Chi had suddenly walked into this secret immortal array and she was walking casually without triggering any of the thousands of swords.

And she was the first to have reached the sword pavilion.

Next was Bai Qianfeng. Although she was slowly, she too was able to walk across the secret immortal array and she had also reached the sword pavilion.

The short old man was stunned that these two female cultivators were so highly accomplished in their array cultivation and their divine senses.

By now, the Smiling Divine Maiden, the Lovely Empress and Zhi Jiugong had already known that Bai Qianfeng was Yun Chi's fourth protégé and she was to be their leading protégé. When they saw her array skills, they were forced to admit that she was indeed superior to anyone of them.

The short old man was sighing softly now because it had taken both Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng just a few blinks of an eye to reach the sword pavilion. For him to reach the sword pavilion was not merely in a few blinks of an eye but a burning incense time.

He was feeling great ashamed of himself!

But still he continued onward.

While in the secret immortal array, he had made 12 mistakes but he had managed to deflect all the profound attacks; the closer to the sword pavilion, the more powerful the profound sword energies were!

Finally the short old man had taken 10 times the time to reach the sword pavilion and he was sweating breathlessly!

But there was an achievement in his old golden eyes as he thought: This is why I am the White Sword Monarch. The rest of you are just my juniors…

All of a sudden the Smiling Divine Maiden had flashed forward and dozens, then hundreds and then thousands of profound sword energies were now flashing like bombardment on her!

This scared the hell out of everyone, including Ji Yuan!

But the Smiling Divine Maiden merely displayed a faint smile as she stepped into the safe area of the sword pavilion.

The evasion that she had just displayed was just too insane and it was as though she could know when she would be attacked.

The short old man was stammering weakly as he looked at the Smiling Divine Maiden, "This… this…"

The Smiling Divine Maiden returned a haughty look, "This isn't so hard after all."

Ji Yuan muttered weakly to himself, "Old man, I am now 100% sure that she isn't your daughter…"

The short old man was naturally unable to hear Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan was now trying to wink at Bai Qianfeng and he was pointing at himself to look awesome in front of the Smiling Divine Maiden and the rest: Qianfeng, help me to overcome this immortal array...

Although Bai Qianfeng saw the secret hint that Ji Yuan was displaying, she merely shook her head lightly: My lord, I can't. This is too dangerous and can cost you your life. So stay where you are...
