Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei had quickly flown into the center of the Golden Natal Divine Pearl where dark spatial spaces surrounded her.
But due to her uncanny spirit divine sense, she knew that she could not be wrong in her finding.
She was now preparing to do her utmost for Ji Yuan for 2 main reasons.
One, was that she had actually given up hope on regaining her position as a divine consort until Ji Yuan had come alone. By then, she was already disillusioned with any thoughts of ascension and even cultivation since she was the one that had given it up in the first place.
At her final moments of ascension, she had sensed a hint of the dark profound darkness and she had hesitated and feared it. Therefore, she had chosen to cripple her own cultivation instead.
But no one could believe her because no one would give up willingly on their own ascension and cripple themselves.
Even if she tells them, everyone would think that she was just looking for an excuse to cover her own failures.
Two, was that after Ji Yuan had defeated the Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong, he had already become the great spiritas hero of her heart. If it was not for Ji Yuan, everyone including her Sister Tang Manni would become the depraved slaves of this Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong.
Therefore, she would not hesitate at all even if this means that she would have to given up her own life for Ji Yuan.
Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei quickly set up a spirit array in this place as she started to use her spirit energies to draw a large complicated spirit circle.
2 hours later, a golden profound circle that was lit with white and golden runes began to in a large circle around her.
Usually, this profound circle would require up to 3 days to draw for most divine consorts.
But she had a special aptitude in drawing profound circles and could perform it better than most as she weaved the spirit runes into the complexities of this profound circle. These circles were sometimes called profound seals or magic seals.
The name of this profound circle was the 'Empyrean Body Exchanging Dipper Spirit Array'.
It was an ancient profound cultivation art that could allow the cultivator to exchange their cultivation body with the other. And the price was that she must die.
And she had discovered this ancient cultivation profound art after a long search. This profound art was largely forgotten since no one would be foolish to give up their very own life.
This cultivation profound art required a vast amount of spiritual energies too and she could borrow the spiritual energies of the Golden Natal Divine Pearl to aid her.
"Master Ji Yuan, I will use myself as a catalyst to help you."
She saw that Ji Yuan had a weak spiritual foundation. But after this exchange had been made, she would transfer her fairy spirit bones and inner spiritual sea to him and she would take his profound darkness into her body.
There, she would die together with the profound darkness.
"Master Ji Yuan, I will use my fairy spirit body in exchange for yours. Farewell, Master Ji Yuan…"
She had told Ji Yuan that she had found a method to help him to remove the profound darkness that was in the form of a demonic sword.
It was not exactly a lie.
It was just that she had never told them she would be using herself as the catalyst.
She knows the dangers of the profound darkness; it will eventually corrupt its users and once it has taken root deep inside a cultivator's inner spiritual sea, it cannot be removed by any normal means.
Also, her superior divine sense had told her that it was not just Ji Yuan's inner spiritual sea that was being corrupted by the profound darkness but even his golden celestial body was being tainted by it.
Therefore, even if she could remove the profound darkness from his inner spiritual sea, she would not remove the profound darkness from his golden celestial body.
The only way was for her to do an exchange using her pure spiritual body.
This exchange would also be good for Ji Yuan's future cultivation because his foundation in spiritual essence was weak. Even if he was strong in his spiritual essence, he would never be as good as a high level spiritas. And moreover, she was a great divine consort with a astonishing high level in her spiritual essence.
And now, she was going to channel all her spiritual energies with the aid of the Golden Natal Divine Pearl into this 'Empyrean Body Exchanging Dipper Spirit Array'
As she activated this spirit profound circle, she was surrounded by a bright light and she was screaming in agony.
The entire process would be very painful for her and if she could persist to the very end then she would succeed in using her fairy spirit body to exchange for his afflicted profound darkness golden celestial body.
As she screamed, she was also weeping aloud. "Master Ji Yuan… may the Great Beyond Goddess please hear my prayers… and help me to succeed…"
All of a sudden, much to her bewilderment, her spirit profound circle was cracking in all over the places!
This profound darkness was much more powerful than she was expecting…
Instead of properly channeling her spiritual energies into the spirit profound circle, she was now being seized by her own spirit profound circle instead and her spiritual energies were being drained to repair its crack and she was powerless to dispel it.
Once activated, the Empyrean Body Exchanging Dipper Spirit Array could not be stopped until the catalyst was dead.
Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei was in tears, "Sorry Master Ji Yuan… in the end, I have… failed you…"
All of a sudden, the entire spirit profound circle had dissipated into nothingness and she was suddenly thrown down violently onto the plane of the spatial space.
This shocked her; something had suddenly interfered and had destroyed the Empyrean Body Exchanging Dipper Spirit Array!
A feminine profound voice echoed slowly, "You really shouldn't have played with powers beyond your understandings."
She was startled by this feminine voice, "There is a spirit fairy in the Golden Natal Divine Pearl? Impossible. I didn't sense any. Who are you?"
The feminine profound voice gently answered, "I am the original mistress of this Golden Natal Divine Pearl and I am also the one that have created it."
Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei was startled as she asked while slowly getting up, "You create this Golden Natal Divine Pearl? Are you the undissipated spirit of the original creator?"
An undissipated spirit was the remnant of the immortal divine sense of its dead creator. However only the most powerful immortals are said to be able to leave a remnant of their immortal divine sense behind.
"I am actually alive." The feminine profound voice sounded amused.
Great Divine Xu Yifei was shocked, "If you are alive, then why can't I sense or see you? Who and what exactly are you?"
The feminine profound voice sighed before saying slowly, "You have called for the Great Beyond Goddess, am I right? Yet you don't appreciate hearing from me. Naturally I am talking to you from the Great Beyond."
Great Divine Xu Yifei was gasping with great disbelief, "The... Great Beyond Goddess..."
