The Great Desolate Divine Palace.
Outside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, in the Abyssal Maelstrom Sea that is located in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity.
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was now back to the Great Desolate Divine Palace and there was a piece of information that she had sought to learn and that was the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.
She had caught the neck of a golden celestial from the Evil Cultivation Palace and said impolitely, "Now tell me. What is the fastest way to reach complete the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth?"
eαglesnovel`c,om This dark cultivator and also golden cultivator, was actually an old man that was nearly his prime and it made sense to her that he must have visited the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth in the past.
The dark cultivator from the Evil Cultivation Palace gasped weakly as he was being seized before stammering, "Great One, it is forbidden to tell you anything about what can occur inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth due to the mystic laws that are imposed upon us."
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily growled before she pondered and smiled, "I'm not asking you about the trials inside or what could have occurred inside. I am asking you about what is the easiest way to pass the trials. Now answer me."
The poor old cultivator began to struggle under the profound strength of this demonic cultivator; he could not believe that a golden saint like himself could not even move an inch of his profound strength under her assault.
He also could not believe his bad luck because he had not expected a Great One from the Demonic Numbers to visit the section of the Great Desolate Divine Palace where the dark celestials were housed.
This Great One simply tossed aside all the lower cultivation realm cultivators before setting her sights on him.
"Now answer me. Or I'll crack your neck." Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao warned him.
This old cultivator naturally believed her threats because words had already spread that she had beheaded Number 4 for challenging her and she had even dragged Number 2 across the hallways of the Great Desolate Divine Palace.
He quickly gasped breathlessly, "There is no easy way to the top of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth but the trials there are divided into various difficulties from B to S. Maybe you can try the B trials if you want to reach to the very top in the fastest possible way… but the rewards won't be too good…"
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao smiled coldly and let go of the old cultivator by flunking him aside, "I don't need any rewards and this information is good enough."
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao smiled to herself: So this is the fastest way.
She had never been to the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth in the past and everyone was forbidden to talk about their experiences inside by a powerful immortal mystic law. Not even an immortal can bend this mystic law as the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth is an immortal profound artefact from the Great Beyond.
The only thing that she knows about the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth was that the Great Demon God farmed the place for its vast immortal treasures and riches every 500 years to maintain the growing influences of the Evil Cultivation Palace.
At the same time, the Numbers which had followed the Great Demon God also received the various cultivation resources to allow them to quickly regain their cultivation strength.
But it was painstaking slow as the Celestial Realm had a 7th cultivation positioning limit. That was why while they were here, they were not allowed to use their cultivation power lest they would be injured by the Divine Calamity.
But now the Great Demon God has sealed the Divine Calamity along with the passage to the Immortal Divine Realm and that is why all the Numbers are now on the offensive after a long wait of thousands of years.
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao sighed softly as she raised her fist, "This feeling of being suppressed is not a good feeling at all…"
As she turned away and returned to the section of the Great Desolate Divine Palace where the Numbers dwelled, the Goddess Mel had suddenly appeared along the hallways and she was smiling.
The Goddess Mel chuckled, "I wonder who is causing all these commotions. So it is you."
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao knew that this slut was the close aide of the Great Demon God and did not want to answer her. So she simply walked past her without a word.
However the Goddess Mel turned around with a soft giggled and said, "Alas, why are you in such a hurry? Do you want to know something interesting?"
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao continued to ignore her and walked away.
But the Goddess Mel continued to giggle, "I have heard that there is a strongest sword at the Eons Firmament Mountains. Do you want to know who he is?"
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao had paused in her steps and quietly asked, "Hmph, what is his name?"
The Goddess Mel laughed, knowing that she had caught Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily's attention so she giggled, "His name is Ji Yuan and he is the consort lord of Shangguan Yan and Fairy Ye Chengxi. He is said to be the strongest sword cultivator in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity and even in the entire Celestial Realm."
She had purposely neglected to mention the White Sword Monarch that was in the other celestial fraternity because her aim was just to bait Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao to the Eons Firmament Mountains.
"Ji Yuan?!" Ding Xiaoxiao muttered with bewilderment.
Didn't that Ji Hao say his father is inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth?
The Goddess Mel laughed, "Yes, the same Ji Yuan that had killed our 8th desolate rank metamorphosis desolate beast when the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth had just ascended. And he has an immortal-step sword with him as well. He is also a Sword Saint. You have not heard about his renown?"
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao began to frown; she really had not heard of this before.
"Immortal-step sword? Killed an 8th metamorphosis desolate beast?" She muttered with a curled smile. Now this was getting interesting and this Ji Yuan may be a worthy opponent. At least she would get some pleasure in killing him and hearing his cries for mercies.
She turned around to ask, "This Ji Yuan, he is at the Eons Firmament Mountains?"
The Goddess Mel smiled amicably, "Naturally he is. However he won't show up so easily because he is the trump card of the Saintess Fang Zhenfei. I guess that you may have to force her a little so that this Ji Yuan would show up."
She was smiling because if this Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily could get close to the Saintess Fang Zhenfei in the first place, she may as well capture her for the Great Demon God to complete their schemes.
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily pondered for a while before she walked away; she had decided to pay the Eons Firmament Mountains a visit first.
As for the Goddess Mel, she did not need to ask where Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was going; it was because she knew that Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao would be going to the Eons Firmament Mountains to look for Ji Yuan.
But no matter the outcome, she had already set this useless Ji Yuan to be Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao's enemy and had helped the Great Demon God.
