When Ji Yuan and his party had stepped through the passage which was marked by a shimmering defensive light, they were quite startled to see a beautiful statuesque veiled maiden meditating in the middle of the passage.
This veiled maiden was stunning in appearance and had an exalted air radiating from her profound animus.
Ji Yuan gave a most startled gasp when he recalled that he had actually dreamed of this great beauty in his dream.
He had remembered her dazzling misty golden eyes and it was a sight that he could not easily erase from his mind. As a matter of fact, he actually had the intention to recite a poem to this dream maiden.
This statuesque maiden was indeed the Great Beyond Goddess.
She had been here in this place trying to mess up with Ji Yuan's trials. But little did she expect that Ji Yuan would actually wait up to several days and this had drained her profound strength due to the constant efforts of trying to maintain the array illusions.
Worse, she was now caught in her actual appearance by not just Ji Yuan but also forced to appear in front of so many.
As a matter of fact, she was feeling extremely indignant now as she was snapped out of her meditation.
Yu Jingjing stammered, "Who is this maiden? Is she a trial spirit? Why is she blocking the passage?"
As she spoke out, she was shivering.
And she was not the only one.
Mo Bei and the rest of the maidens were all shaking slightly as though a deadly fear was upon them.
Even Yun Chi was no exception.
The only person that was undeterred was Ji Yuan who looked more startled than afraid when he recalled her wondrous face behind her veil.
Yun Chi was the first to speak, "Be careful, she is no ordinary cultivator. Do not approach her. She is an immortal cultivator."
She wanted to add that she had never seen any immortal with such a powerful presence but as the others did not know her true identity, she did not echoed her thoughts out.
Yun Chi was a true goddess and she had no fear of anyone naturally but this maiden in front of her seemed to be causing a profound fear on her. Although she could not place a finger but she knew that this unknown cultivator was extremely dangerous.
Everyone in the group did not need Yun Chi to warn them because they could all sense an insufferable pressure that was upon them.
Every slight movement of this unknown cultivator's eyes was like piercing daggers upon their hearts and they were afraid that she may make a move anytime.
Shui Xisi stammered softly as she could feel her fingers moving nervously on the hilt of her divine sword, "Who is she? What is this tingling feeling that I am feeling?"
She was echoing the thoughts of everyone in the group.
Ji Yuan broke the silence as he tried to ask in a calm manner, "Maiden, we are taking our trial here. I wonder if you are the trial spirit?"
Then Ji Yuan remembered Xiang Li and Anyang so he asked them in his soul sea, "Xiang Li and Anyang, is she a trial spirit?"
There was plete silence.
Ji Yuan: …
What Ji Yuan did not know was that while the Great Beyond Goddess was in the flesh, Xiang Li could not materialize. At the same time, because Anyang was also linked to Xiang Li in Ji Yuan's soul sea, the Great Beyond Goddess was also using Anyang spiritual strength to maintain a presence in the Celestial Realm.
A soft hum could be heard from the veiled statuesque maiden and everyone could imagine that she was making a wry smile behind her veil.
A second later, she spoke softly. "Ji Yuan…"
Although her voice was extremely soft but it echoed clearly in everyone's ears and they could feel the profound power of her voice.
Ji Yuan answered weakly, "Wait a minute. How did you know my name? Have we 'really' met before?"
Mo Bei and the other maidens were all staring at Ji Yuan as they echoed an answer to Ji Yuan's question silently: Yea, how did you know this maiden and how did you manage to offend such a powerful cultivator?
"Ji Yuan, you are really unbelievable." The Great Beyond Goddess said sarcastically.
Ji Yuan: ???
What did I do?
The Great Beyond Goddess slowly rose up, "You didn't fall into my illusional arrays causing me to waste much of my precious strength on a decadent man like you."
Ji Yuan blinked his eyes as he muttered weakly, "I am a decadent man? What did I do to you?"
The Great Beyond Goddess had a flash of anger in her eyes; although Ji Yuan was muttering to himself but she could hear his voice within her. After all, she had also existed within Ji Yuan's soul sea through Xiang Li and was invisible to him.
"What you did is unpardonable."
Ji Yuan: ???
What did I do that is unpardonable?
Mo Bei pointed at Ji Yuan with trembling voice, "What did you do to her?"
Ling Feiyue said with great exaggeration, "What did you do to her, Ji Yuan?"
Ji Yuan answered weakly, "You know. I don't even know what I did to you the last time that cause you to be offended with me."
Ling Feiyue had a sudden flush when she recalled how Xue Qianxue and her had conspired together to check who Ji Yuan really like.
Little Princess who by now had learnt of Ling Feiyue and Xue Qianxue story with Ji Yuan, said weakly. "Maybe because of your nasty poem again."
Ji Yuan: …
Surely not?
Or is it?
Ji Yuan turned to the veiled statuesque maiden to ask with a most perplexed look, "Actually, what did I do?"
To shave off his nervousness, Ji Yuan added with a laugh. "Haha, but you're not Xiang Li. I surely won't bang anyone in front of you…"
The Great Beyond Goddess: …
That is precisely what you did.
All of a sudden Ji Yuan could not continue anymore; it was because he could sense a killing malevolent that was behind directed at him and acting accordingly with his instinct as though he had sensed a threat, he had unsheathed his two divine swords.
The Great Beyond Goddess said coldly, "Today I will cripple you and lay waste to your cultivation core. You will be a mortal from this day onward…"
