In the arena where Ji Yuan was.
It was the third day when Ji Yuan was abruptly awakened by his Senior Sister Chu Lixue.
He had fallen into a deep cultivation sleep and if his senior sister had not awakened him, he would not be able to wake up.
Ji Yuan saw that he had barely regained 1/3 of his profound strength in his inner spiritual sea.
This may be the case but he had also noticed that his inner spiritual sea was much denser than ever before.
And he could feel that he was much stronger than before.
This had to do with Aura and his battles in the last trial.
No matter how exhausted a cultivator was, there was always a reserve of 10% that would resist being used unless in the most extremely cases when it was forced upon by circumstances of life and death rather than being forcefully drawn upon.
To hit this limit was extremely limit but when this limit was hit, the cultivator's profound strength would show an improvement the next time.
Also, there was something else that not even Ji Yuan or Aura was aware of
In order for Aura to replenish Ji Yuan with the pure spiritual aura from the Golden Natal Divine Pearl, Ji Yuan would have to completely deplete his inner spiritual sea in the first place.
Or else, it would be like mixing two types of oil as one and hoping to get the purer one.
Before this, there was no opportunity for Ji Yuan to tap into the Golden Natal Divine Pearl as he did not have the cultivation realm to even use it and now it was made possible by Aura in an accidental way.
One must know that this Golden Natal Divine Pearl is a true divinity profound treasure that was granted by the Great Beyond Goddess to Old Reverend Beiyuan. So even if the owner is an immortal, they may not necessary be able to use it as their own even after thousands of years of cultivation.
And Aura has a mistress that could teach her how to realize her potential as well as aiding Ji Yuan in secret on using this Golden Natal Divine Pearl.
The Great Beyond Goddess was actually using her profound strength from the Great Beyond to slowly release the rich spiritual aura of the Goden Natal Divine Pearl for Ji Yuan but it was difficult even for her as the two types of spiritual auras in Ji Yuan's inner spiritual sea did not mix well.
Then comes Aura and this little divine tree was the key.
"Little rascal. So, you've finally decided to wake up?" Chu Lixue hummed but deep inside her, she was secretly delighted.
The first thing that Ji Yuan saw when he opened his eyes was the divine smile of his senior sister and he was delighted as well, "Senior sister, how long have I been sleeping?"
He could feel his entire body was sore but luckily for him, as a peaked great saint, all his wounds were healing and he even got a couple of dressing on his wounds.
Needless to say, he knows that he had been bandaged by his Senior Sister Chu Lixue because Xiao Muhan could not even bandage a dressing well.
Xiao Muhan grinned at him, "Three days! You have been sleeping for 3 days! And the next trial is also starting soon!"
Ji Yuan frowned as he turned to Xiao Muhan, "I didn't ask you, Brother Xiao Muhan."
Xiao Muhan ignored his cold remarks and laughed, "What is the difference?"
Ji Yuan chuckled, "Because you're an old goat."
Xiao Muhan laughed too, not offended by Ji Yuan. "That is because you're also an old goat and you want to eat tender grass."
Ji Yuan laughed aloud too.
And his laughter invoked some annoyed look from the other champions in the arena.
Other than Old Yang Batian, there were 5 other champions in the arena.
Altogether there were 9 champions in this arena.
Old Yang Batian was a champion of Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er.
The Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue was a champion of Divine Consort Dongfang Xin.
Xiao Muhan was a champion of Divine Consort Sun Dingjun.
Ji Yuan was a champion of Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei.
2 of the champions were champion of Divine Consort Dongfang Xin.
2 were champions of Divine Consort Tang Manni.
The last remaining champion was a champion of Sun Dingjun, the same as Xiao Muhan.
All the divine consorts in the arena barely had a representation and it seemed that the divine consorts Ding Jie'Er and Xu Yifei were all barely able to make it through to the fourth trial with only 1 champion remaining.
However even though Ding Jie'Er and Xu Yifei only had one champion left to represent them but Old Yang Batian and Ji Yuan were both strong cultivators.
The Smiling Divine Maiden smiled weakly to Ji Yuan with a flustered look, "Ji Yuan, you have embarrassed us long enough. Please keep your voice down."
Ji Yuan laughed jovially, "In what way? I am curious to know."
Xiao Muhan chuckled as he said, "When you are having your cultivation sleep, you snorted loudly like a pig and you disturb the cultivation rest of everyone in the arena."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …I think you should take a look at
Ji Yuan: …
He muttered weakly, "Should I apologize to everyone then?"
Xiao Muhan grinned, "That isn't all to it."
"What the heck?! It isn't all?" Ji Yuan was astonished. "How the heck did I offend everyone during my sleep?!"
Xiao Muhan turned to look at Chu Lixue, barely suppressing his laughter before he turned to say with a look of awkwardness at Ji Yuan. "You keep calling out Jiajia in your dreams and you keep saying lewd things. In short, you have a wet dream and you have been sharing with everyone in this arena."
When he had said that, Chu Lixue was flushed with a rosy complexion.
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
He put on a thick face to ask, "In what way am I lewd? Do you mind if you are able to… erm share with me?"
Chu Lixue interrupted with a look of disbelief, "You don't want to know how horny you are."
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Haha…"
But he was quickly shouting in his soul sea: Xiang Li! Anyang! What exactly did I say?! Hurry and tell me!
This is the advantage of having a sentient spirit entity; they are able to tell a cultivator what has happened even if they are unconscious!
Xiang Li giggled jovially: Big Brother, you don't want to know what has happened…
Even Anyang was saying awkwardly: My lord, you really don't want to know what has happened…
Xiang Li chuckled loudly as she continued with more giggles, "You bang Jiajia so hard and so many times that she is literally begging you for more."
Ji Yuan: …
Xiang Li, I thought that you don't want me to know and yet you have spilled the beans…
Xiang Li giggled: Did I? But I have spared you the details Big Brother. You want the big details?
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
He turned to look at his Senior Sister Chu Lixue with a straight line, "Senior Sister, actually I've been thinking of you all along while I was unconscious."
Chu Lixue: …
Xiao Muhan: …
Xiang Li slapped her face: Big Brother, they already know that you are lying and yet you are telling Maiden Chu Lixue this…
Even Anyang was looking speechless: …
Ji Yuan hastily pointed out: Two lies make a truth. You need to convince them to your side and you can't do this without trying. I am trying very best to convince my senior sister here.
Anyang asked: Do you think that this will actually really help?
Ji Yuan chuckled: She doesn't need to believe me but she will feel better about this.
Anyang, Xiang Li: ?
The divine look that was on Chu Lixue actually become more pleasant as she coyly looked at Ji Yuan: At least Ji Yuan still have me in his heart…
All of a sudden, the Trial Spirit had interrupted by announcing. "The next trial will start in 1 hour time. May all the champions ready yourself for the fourth trial of the Great Games. The fourth trial is also a qualifying trial for the fifth trial and in this trial, it will determine if you are able to represent your divine consorts as the true champions in the final trial…"
All the champions in their respective arena were now exciting waiting for their forthcoming trial.
Ji Yuan turned to say solemnly to Xiao Muhan, "I am very sure that you will die in the next trial. So Brother Xiao Muhan, do you have any last words to say to me? Or you need my help to carry your last words to Maiden Flower Ju?"
Xiao Muhan was also looking solemnly at Ji Yuan, "I think with your present condition, you are not going to pull through to the fourth trial. Brother Ji Yuan, do you have any last words for me to bring to Maiden Yun Chi? Or do you need my help to help you to take care of your widows?"
Chu Lixue sighed as she looked at the two of them with a faint smile, "I think that the two of you won't be able to survive the fourth trial. Any last words?"
Ji Yuan, Xiao Muhan: …
