In the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, at the Great Forsaken Basin where the Abyssal Maelstrom Sea is located.
Xia Jiajia had just arrived in her White Paragon Xuanfeng, a four winged phoenix with six reflective golden tails.
She was dressed in a brilliant blue heavenly celestium silk dress and she had arrived alone.
Whether the information that was offered by the Evil Cultivation Palace was important or not, it was irreverent to her because she did not have any much time left.
Like the Eons Firmament Mountains, the Great Forsaken Basin was inaccessible by foot as it was surrounded by oceans of desolate mist and could only be traversed by flight.
And in one of the oceans of desolate mist, a gigantic desolate red eye was formed by the abyssal maelstrom that had lasted for thousands of years and this place was called the Abyssal Maelstrom.
Inside this dangerous Abyssal Maelstrom that were flashing with dangerous lightning continuously was located the Great Desolate Divine Palace where the Great Demon God Hong Meng was.
Xia Jiajia had arrived back at this location again, after an absence of several months. (See Chapter 308-309)
At that time, she had challenged the Desolate Dragon God Longdi and sacrificed her golden core to snatch back the artefact core of her Xiao Ruan from him. Once that was done, she had quickly fled.
She had plenty of help from her other sisters at that time.
But this time, she was alone.
When she had arrived, her White Paragon Xuanfeng was withdrawn back into her spirit animus as she floated above the Abyssal Maelstrom and she had displayed her celestial-step divine sword.
It was weirdly quiet and she had come directly in the open skies instead of under any cover.
By right, the detection arrays of the Great Desolate Divine Palace would have already sounded its alarm and the denizens were prepared for battle.
She mustered her divine echo profound art to resonate throughout the Abyssal Seas, "Does the Great Demon God has no champions to oppose my coming?"
The red eye of the Abyssal Sea had suddenly opened a passage from within and the thunderous profound voice of the Great Demon God could be heard laughing, "I have never expected the Saintess Fang Zhenfei to deliver herself to me…"
"… so are you here to fight or to talk terms? If you are here to talk terms, I can give you a generous offer by sparing everyone in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity…"
"I am here to fight you and I prefer to be known as Xia Jiajia now." Xia Jiajia interrupted as she echoed back, "Do you have the guts to fight me or do you want me to shame you in front of your henchman by coming to you instead?"
The Great Demon God smirked coldly as his echo filled the heavens, "You don't have to bait me by arousing my anger. I have expected so and that is why I have opened a passage for you to my Great Divine Desolate Palace. But do you have the guts to come for me instead?"
Xia Jiajia hummed coldly as she flew down into the middle of the Abyssal Sea where a passage had been formed from within.
She flashed through the passage with a great speed and sped through a hundred miles of desolate mists before saw an opening.
The continuous brilliant white erratic lightning that was flashing all over the Abyssal Sea did not seem to be attacking her because this passage was opened by the Great Demon God and therefore immortal array here did not attack her.
Xia Jiajia had not expected that she would be entering the Abyssal Sea in such an easy manner but she knew that her enemy was ensuring that this time she would not escape.
Escaping was never her option.
She was here to buy her compatriots the time to make their escape until the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth was over.
She could not afford to wait for the Death God Mingwang to return.
And she was praying that the Great Demon God Hong Meng was really serious injured and he had no profound strength to spare as he had to maintain the immortal barrier to seal off the Immortal Realm
Xia Jiajia quickly landed on the flat terrain that was below the Abyssal Sea and she could see abyssal mountains that towered to the heavens and there was lightning that were flashing overhead the thick desolate mists that now formed the heavens.
In front of her was a gigantic fortress with formidable walls that stood 10 miles in height and there were gigantic steps leading to it.
This was the Great Desolate Divine Palace, the immortal profound ship of the Great Demon God.
Xia Jiajia was startled at the great size of this Great Desolate Divine Palace; she had never expected it to be so huge and the scale of its walls were mind blogging.
Only the legendary profound ship of the Desolate Immortals was bigger and it was called the Ancient Fortress; it was not just a fortress but an entire city and there were 12 citadels in there, each representing a powerful Citadel Lord of the city.
Her mother consort had once shown her the imagery of the Ancient Fortress as it returned to the Immortal Realm to launch an immortal invasion.
The battle between the Desolate Immortals and the Righteous Immortals were brutal; there were many deaths among the immortals and the three known realms were shaken by this terrible battle.
Nothing in the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm was spared from that terrible destruction.
It was irony that she had actually met 1 of the Citadel Lords in the Celestial Realm and she was the Abyssal Null Goddess Bai Qianfeng.
Her mother consort the Great Goddess Celestial Alice had fought with the Abyssal Null Goddess and severely wounded her, causing her to flee to the Celestial Realm to escape the wrath of the Righteous Immortals.
She was not the only Desolate Immortal to have escaped to the Celestial Realm and there were scores of them pretending to be celestial great saints.
And Xia Jiajia knows that the Evil Cultivation Master and the Sagess Alyssa were one of the Desolate Immortals that had escaped to the Celestial Realm.
It is impossible for the Righteous Immortals to seek out the Desolate Immortals in the Celestial Realm because the Celestial Realm is simply too vast and the Desolate Immortals can simply retreat down the divide of the mountains where the desolate mists are, instead of being up in the spiritual rich mountains.
If the Righteous Immortals are to fight the Desolate Immortals down the desolate mist, then they will be at a disadvantage since they cannot replenish their profound strength by cultivating in the dense desolate auras.
Right now, this was exactly what Xia Jiajia was experiencing; in this place, there was virtually no spiritual aura for her to tap upon.
In fact, in this place, she was no longer able to fly at will with her spirit animus as the desolate auras were too dense.
She quickly flashed to the top of the steps of the gigantic walls and she was greeted by the great towering domes of the Great Desolate Divine Palace that were at the far reach of the platform that were front of her.
She was greeted by another sight at the platform and some 300 draconian cultivators were already waiting for her.
All of them have the profound strength of a saint and at least a dozen of them had profound strength that was greater than the 7th cultivation realm!
These draconian cultivators all had a murderous look and it was because they were waiting for her here to avenge the death of their Desolate Dragon God Longdi!
Xia Jiajia charged into their midst as she displayed her Hundred Flower Divine Strike, as she swept her profound power through the legions of draconian cultivators…
"Don't let her live!"
"Avenge our Desolate Dragon God!"
"Rip her to pieces!"
Many of the draconian cultivators were now undergoing bodily transformation and displaying formidable profound power.
As Xia Jiajia displayed her Hundred Flower Divine Strike, she was dismayed that there were suddenly 3 powerful draconian cultivators that flashed forward to neutralize her profound attack halfway and these 3 powerful draconian cultivators were also the elders of these draconian cultivators.
She had knocked back 10 of the draconian cultivators before her profound attack was halted by the combine profound power of these 3 draconian cultivators.
And even then, 7 of the draconian cultivators had actually survived her profound attack because none of them were ordinary celestial cultivators and they had far stronger bodies and bones than the celestials.

Author Note:
1. I actually want to write about this story arc a long time ago because Jiajia is actually the main leading heroine in 'The Romantic Cultivator'.
Maybe this may come as a surprise to many since Ling Feiyue has the most screen time with Ji Yuan:X
Shui Xisi and Bai Qianfeng probably have the second most screen time *chuckle*.
