Chapter 489 Secrets Of The Holy Oracle Goddess
Chapter 489 Secrets Of The Holy Oracle Goddess
Ji Yuan had arrived at a cave with his group, which consist of Bai Qianfeng, Yun Chi, Feng Minyue, Ling Feiyue, Yu Jingjing, Dream Mist and Xiao Muhan.
This cave was the same exact cave that he had left earlier and where Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping had injured Yang Mi.
The first thing that they saw was the dead body of Hua Yingxiong that was on the edge of the cave. Someone had ruthlessly kicked his dead body outside.
Other than Ji Yuan, the rest of the group was astonished to find a dead Hua Yingxiong in this place.
That was because Hua Yingxiong was supposed to be their companion.
Bai Qianfeng gasped softly, "What had happened?"
Ji Yuan explained without a remorse, "Well, I happened to kill him by accident."
Everyone: ...
Ling Feiyue said weakly to Ji Yuan, "This is definitely not the real reason. In all the cultivation stories, the MC will kill cultivators that are two realms higher but you seem to enjoy killing cultivators that are two realms lower all the time."
Ji Yuan frowned, "That is not right..."
"Just now he was an eighth realm middle tier cultivator against a couple of great saints. That is two or more realms disparity." Yun Chi had suddenly chuckled.
JI Yuan: ...
He began to mutter weakly, "We have more important things inside. Come inside to meet my 'old' friend'."
Inside the cave, Little Princess had just finished treating Yang Mi with profound pills and she was now healing Yang Mi's wounds with profound energies.
As soon as Ji Yuan had entered the cave, he began to said aloud. "Look who is in here!"
Bai Qianfeng, Yun Chi, Feng Minyue, Ling Feiyue and Yu Jingjing were all flabbergasted when they saw that it was Little Princess and was excited to see her again.
But as soon as they saw that it was Yang Mi who was injured with a grievous wound and was in coma, their excitement turned to shock and even anguish!
Yu Jingjing was furious as she quickly flown next to the unconscious Yang Mi who was lying on the makeshift floor, "Who is the one that did this?!"
Before Yu Jingjing could finish her words, Ji Yuan solemnly showed his angry fist. "It is that Old Witch Xi!"
Yu Jingjing was shocked beyond belief, "This... this is... impossible...our grand matriarch really takes care of us..."
Beyond these feelings, she was also feeling very guilty that she was secretly helping Ji Yuan and not her grand matriarch. As a matter of fact, when this was over, she had the intention to seek forgiveness with her grand matriarch.
Xiao Muhan was stammering, "She really did this?"
Ling Feiyue angrily stared at Xiao Muhan, "You are really bold to ask about this. Just now, why are you helping that Old Witch Xi to fight against Ji Yuan? Why are you still with us and not with that Old Witch Xi?"
Xiao Muhan was lost for words, "Erm... because Ji Yuan is bullying a lady, that's why. I am actually trying to humble Ji Yuan a little..."
Ji Yuan had bended down to examine Yang Mi's injuries, began to interrupt nonchalantly. "It isn't Muhan's fault. He has unknowing become a living furnace and has to obey the commands of that Old Witch Xi."
Xiao Muhan and the others were all startled...
Xiao Muhan began to stammer with disbelief, "How is this even possible? I am a saint...
Ji Yuan began to look at Little Princess for an answer. It was because she was the expert in this matter.
Little Princess giggled mesmerizing at Ji Yuan before explaining, "There is no doubt that Xiao Muhan is really a living furnace. That 'Old Witch Xi' or whatever Ji Yuan calls her, she is an evil dual cultivator. Just now, she was trying to convert Yang Mi into her living furnace. As for the dead cultivator that is outside now, he is now a dead living furnace to that Old Witch Xi."
Ji Yuan began to nod.
During the fight earlier, Ji Yuan had no time to explain to anyone that Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping was an evil dual cultivator.
Yu Jingjing was beginning to think that this was actually the matter that Ji Yuan was trying to confirm his suspicion earlier.
Xiao Muhan had a look of confusion as he interrupted impatiently, "The sixth realm level is called the Spirit Level while the seventh realm level is called the Soul Level. How can we be affected by soul attacks to become a living furnace?"
Little Princess nodded, "Usually this evil dual cultivation art can only be used against cultivators that are at least one realm below and usually not saints because saints are mostly immune to soul attacks. However, this is not a certainty because there are many weak saint cultivators like sword cultivators..."
"I am a sword cultivator that has already formed my soul core and I have mastered the True Sacred Saint Profound Art." Ji Yuan could not help interrupting with a grin. "Therefore, I am sure I am immune."
Little Princess began to giggle; she had actually purposely mentioned sword cultivators to taunt Ji Yuan and he had fallen for her little ruse. She knew that he could not resist an urge to protest.
? She continued, "However that Old Witch Xi is a Spirit Cultivator and she is very, very good in using spirit and soul attacks. When combine with the evil dual cultivation art, she is deadlier than a lot of the evil dual cultivators."
Then she smiled enthralling to Yu Jingjing, "Earlier, I saw your grand matriarch displaying the Holy Oracle Goddess as her spirit animus. This is unlike most spirit animus that I've seen. This spirit animus is formed from your soul core too, am I right? And you are also capable of using it."
Slowly Yu Jingjing began to nod, "I am the Holy Oracle Priestess. Naturally I am able to cultivate a secret way to summon the Holy Oracle Goddess to be my spirit animus. But how do you know?"
Little Princess casually smiled, "That is because in our Desolate Celestial Fraternity, we have a friend who is called Xue Qianxue. She is able to use her Sacred Maiden Profound Art to summon a special type of aura spirit animus. That is exactly the same as your celestial profound art. Therefore there is no need for them to kill a desolate monster and to obtain their artefact core to use it as their spirit animus."
Xiao Muhan weakly asked, "Erm, so I am really screwed?"
It sounds like no one was answering him as they continued to talk.
Yu Jingjing slowly nodded, "The Holy Oracle Goddess is able to uncanny exploit the weakness of a cultivator's soul core and also to sense their profound might. This is actually one of my trump cards."
Ji Yuan laughed, "Maiden Jingjing have so many trump cards."
Yu Jingjing began to flush shyly as she looked at Ji Yuan; one of her other trump cards were hitting an opponent from below while diverting her profound energies elsewhere. She had previously used it when she was in the same trial as Ji Yuan when an evil cultivator had tried to trick her into surrendering her body.
Xiao Muhan muttered slowly as he was beginning to understand his predicament, "So I am really screwed? Because that Old Witch Xi has that Holy Oracle Goddess and she can manipulate profound energies in the soul core? But how do you know that I am really a living furnace?"
Little Princess laughed slow but beautifully; she was not going to let him know that she was actually one of the three Citadel Lords of the Evil Cultivation Palace and that she had even called the Evil Cultivation Master as her father.
Few knew of Little Princess' secret; Ji Yuan and Ling Feiyue would naturally help her to keep her true identity a complete secret.
Ji Yuan purposed patted on Xiao Muhan's shoulder, "You know my friend. As a living furnace, your cultivation realm will no longer be able to increase anymore and you have to obey Old Witch Xi from now. And if you happen to copulate with Old Witch Xi, I am afraid that you can only withstand her evil dual cultivation less than 10 times before you are dead. Even if you don't meet her, you still need primeval yin to sustain yourself or you will also die."
Then he chuckled loudly, "And since I've so many maidens here with me and I think that you are a risk factor, I should finish you here first."
Xiao Muhan: ...
Xiao Muhan: ...
Xiao Muhan: ...
"Seriously, you are 'such' a good friend of mine." Xiao Muhan expression was sour and regretful; he had thought of showing off to Ji Yuan that he had banged Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping but he had ended up being a living furnace...
Ji Yuan's distraction for Little Princess allowed her to cook up an excuse as she smiled, "I have a special divine ability to see the tainted cultivators."
Dream Mist who had been keeping quiet did not expose her lies and instead, she continued to listen nonchalantly while quietly looking at Ji Yuan...
Little Princess winked at Xiao Muhan, "However it is not impossible to be freed from the fate of being a living furnace. There are four ways to do so."
Xiao Muhan was laughing immediately and he had suddenly brightened up, "four ways? This is way too many. Hahahaha..."
Little Princess answered enchantingly, "The first way is to force a confinement for yourself and stay away from the opposite gender. Usually you will need around 10 years. You may lose some cultivation strength but you will be able to recover."
"The second way is to cripple your cultivation core and to re-cultivate again."
"The third way is to find the master that forced the living furnace upon you and you have that master to remove for you."
"The fourth way is to be able to afford 1 billion high grade spirit stones to enter the Mo Bei's Dream Trial."
Xiao Muhan asked weakly, "So, is there a fifth method?"
Little Princess nodded, "This one needs a miracle to happen and it requires a blessed prayer to the Great Beyond Goddess to help you."
Xiao Muhan: ...
Xiao Muhan: ...
Xiao Muhan: ...
"I am seriously screwed..."
Ji Yuan grinned all of a sudden, "However there is a sixth option for me to save you and it is relatively easy."
Xiao Muhan growled softly, "You got a bright idea?"
Ji Yuan chuckled aloud, "I can help you to kill that Old Witch Xi. Once she is dead, you will no longer be a living furnace."
Xiao Muhan was now furious, "Then why don't you kill her just now?"
Ji Yuan laughed, "That is because you are blocking me just now and preventing me from killing that Old Witch Xi. Well, I've got one month to find her before she returns to the Endless Celestial Fraternity."
Xiao Muhan said miserably, "Then every day for one month, I have to pray very hard to Ji Yuan so that he will be able to accomplish his mission of killing Old Witch Xi."
Ji Yuan laughed jovially, "Well said!"
