Chapter 922 The 10-Million-Year-Old Nirvana Herb



On the island that Ji Yuan and Shui Xisi had landed upon, there was actually a living volcano and the Nirvana Herb was in the middle of this living volcano.

"This is a 10 million year old Nirvana Herb!" Shui Xisi was looking excited before she turned to Ji Yuan to smile with equal enthusiasm. 

When Ji Yuan saw the molten lava that was flowing from this living volcano, he shook his head and said to Shui Xisi. "Sisi, are you that you want to go down to pluck this Nirvana Herb? I sense a looming presence below the volcano. If you pluck this spirit herb, you will surely awaken the profound monster that is guarding it."

Shui Xisi grinned, "It is a 9th rank epic profound beast in there. To be exact, a phoenix god beast in there."

Ji Yuan: …

"You know that it is a 9th rank epic beast and you still want to pluck it?"

Shui Xisi giggled softly, "I have the Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan with me. Do I need to worry so much?"

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, "I doubt that I can be of much help and I also doubt that you can carry me too. This place has a strong fiery element that burns away our profound animus."

"Don't worry. I'm not asking you to accompany me. You just need to stay here and provide me with your support." Shui Xisi winked at him before standing up to leap into the volcano. 

But as she stood up, Ji Yuan had suddenly caught her wrist and said solemnly. "Sisi, enough of your willfulness. Give it up."

"Huh?" Shui Xisi was startled when Ji Yuan had suddenly caught hold of her. 

Ji Yuan said firmly, "You can't fight a 9th rank god beast alone. And even if you add me, we still can't defeat it. Most importantly, I don't want to lose you."

Shui Xisi was suddenly looking at him with great tenderness, "Ji Yuan…"

Ji Yuan sighed heavily, "Sometimes we must know when to give up. Being greedy is never a good thing even if this is important to your cultivation. It is better not to take unnecessary risk unless you are being pushed into a corner…"

Shui Xisi had suddenly caught hold of his cheeks with her hands and she had kissed him passionately. 

Ji Yuan was surprised by this act but he was soon returning the kiss passionately. 

But barely had he immersed himself into it, Shui Xisi had released her hold on his face and she had jumped down from the top of the living volcano.

This stunned Ji Yuan.

"Sisi! What are you doing?! Come back!"

Ji Yuan shockingly shouted after her.

Right now, he could not even muster his desolate cherubim into his spirit animus to jump after her as his inner spiritual sea was mostly empty.

He felt like banging his head on the hard ground and he was actually hitting the ground with his fist, "Crap! Sisi, I've promise Jiajia to look after her sister. So, you can't die in there…"

Shui Xisi had fluttered down to the molten lava of the volcano but before she could even descend halfway to the Nirvana Herb, a gigantic phoenix god beast had emerged from the molten lava and it was fiercely shrieking at Shui Xisi!

Ji Yuan wasted no time in displaying his Xiang Li Divine Sword and he had already mustered his Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon to lend support Shui Xisi. 

"Sisi, I am not going to let you die!"

And his divine sword was charged with the white light of his sword energies.

But Shui Xisi shouted at him instead, "Ji Yuan, wait!"

Ji Yuan was shocked, "Wait?! That monster is upon you already. Don't worry, I won't miss…"

He had an eye for precision no matter how far his sword energy was. 

Xiang Li said to Anyang: Big Brother won't miss it. He can even see the color of the panties from 1 mile away.

Ji Yuan: …

Just as Ji Yuan was about to release his sword energies, he was startled to see that the phoenix god beast did not attack Shui Xisi.

Instead, the phoenix god beast had gently wrapped its huge wings around the molten lava to make way for Shui Xisi to descend.

Ji Yuan was stunned, "What the heck is going on here?!"I think you should take a look at

He was in disbelief.

Shui Xisi giggled softly as she descended on the Nirvana Herb. "This fire phoenix god beast says she wants to be my spirit pet."

When Ji Yuan had heard her, he almost slipped down into the molten lava. 

He simply cannot believe it! 

Why should a phoenix god beast be so docile in front of Shui Xisi?! 

Then he had suddenly remembered that she was once accompanied by a 9th rank epic blue phoenix when he had met her at the Spirit Blue Moon Sect…

But this shouldn't be.

He was frowning. 

It was because Shui Xisi was not capable of capturing such a high ranking phoenix as a spirit pet and he had always thought that this was due to her formidable background and that some ancient patriarchs of her must have captured the blue phoenix at a huge cost in the past. 

Ji Yuan was a little speechless now and he was now questioning Jiajia's background as well.

Jiajia said that she wants to tell me something after I have returned from the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth? Is it her background?

Shui Xisi gently hovered near the Nirvana Herb as she said gently, "I've been looking for you for so long. Finally, my sister and I can complete our 9th Nirvana revolutions…"

Then she muttered, "This time, my Sister Feifei will be so proud of me. She has always been the one that is helping me with my Nirvana Revolutions but this time I am useful and is no longer the protected sister…"

There was a pleased look in her countenance when she had said that.

Then with a surge of her profound aura, she had put her fingers on the Nirvana Herb as she plucked it gently. 

Obviously her profound strength was not enough to pluck this 10 million Nirvana Herb but all of a sudden her profound aura had changed form and a soaring phoenix could be seen forming around her.

Ji Yuan was startled, "This is Sisi's spirit entity? This is the first time I have seen it…"

He was beginning to wonder if Sisi was stronger or Jiajia was the stronger of the two. 

Then all of a sudden Shui Xisi had plucked the Nirvana Herb and she was saying with great delight to the phoenix god beast, "Do you mind taking the two of us away from this place?"

The dark apparition of the Trial Spirit was enraged.

At first, she had thought that this slumbering phoenix god beast would be enough to kill this ugly Ji Yuan. But she had never though that there was a maiden that could possess the phoenix bloodline. 

There was only one great immortal goddess that could make all the phoenix god beasts to bow below her and that was the Great Goddess Celestial Alice. 

But this maiden was obviously not the Great Goddess Alice herself but she could be related to her.

She had never thought that there was a formidable cultivator that could be accompanying this Ji Yuan as she made a resolve to separate the two of them for the fifth trial.

This Maiden Shui Xisi was too dangerous to be taken lightly and she could not belittle her.

The dark apparition also noted that she could also fly and this alone could mean that either she was a powerful cultivator or she had a formidable profound treasure. 

"Ugly Ji Yuan! This level is too easy for you! But you won't have it easy for the next level…"
