Chapter 650 Inside The Goddess Star Palace
Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing was already waiting for them as Ji Yuan entered into the darkness of the Goddess Star Palace as he emerged from it.
The inside of the Goddess Star Palace startled Ji Yuan; it was not what he was expecting to see. It was a large golden hallway and it appeared that there were three portals in front of them, on the left, middle and right side of the golden hallway.
Above the dome of the hallway was an imagery of a masked helm man in black robe surrounded by cultivators and he was slaughtering them with his profound black swords. Only a veiled maiden in purple appeared to be standing to face the masked helm man but she too, was injured under the might of his profound assaults.
This imagery was so profound that it caught the attention of Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi, the Lovely Empress and Ji Yuan immediately.
As for Old Reverend Beiyuan, he was laughing jovially and was looking at their awestruck looks. "Hohohoho, welcome to the inside of the Goddess Star Palace."
Ji Yuan asked curiously as he continued to look at the imagery at the top, "This canvas certainly looks impressive."
Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed, "Of course this is impressive. This is the divine battle between the Boundless Sovereign Demon God and my mistress. In that battle, my mistress had saved the Six Divine Realms from destruction by the Great Sovereign Demon. Hohohoho."
Ji Yuan rubbed his chin at the reply before he laughed softly, "Well, it doesn't look like your mistress is winning though."
Old Reverend Beiyuan growled unhappily when he had heard Ji Yuan, "Foolish young man! Do you know how powerful the Boundless Sovereign Demon God really is? You simply have no idea! Have you ever heard of his Obliterating Godly Sword of Wrath? That is his demonic sword and he had taken down countless number of my God Immortal Race with his Profound Obliterating Wrath that are shaped like his demonic sword! And only my great mistress is able to able to take him down despite her injuries."
Ji Yuan muttered weakly and was awkward; the canvas imagery really did not portray a victory for the Great Beyond Goddess and so how could he know about it?
But he quickly said with a weak laughter, "Well, at least the Boundless Sovereign Demon God is now dead now."
Old Reverend Beiyuan continued to growl unhappily, "The Boundless Sovereign Demon God is different from the God Immortal Race. He is one with the great void and cannot be truly killed. As long as the Obliterating Godly Sword of Wrath is sealed, the Boundless Sovereign Demon God can't be resurrected."
Ji Yuan asked curiously, "So this Obliterating Godly Sword of Wrath is sealed by the Great Beyond Goddess, right? So we are all safe?"
Old Reverend Beiyuan nodded slowly, "That's right."
Ji Yuan nodded with a soft relief, "I wonder why the Great Beyond Goddess did not destroy the Obliterating Godly Sword of Wrath?"
Old Reverend Beiyuan gave him an annoyed look, "That demonic sword is born with the Boundless Sovereign Demon God. And do you think that you can destroy such a demonic weapon as you pleased?"
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Well, I am just suggesting. You don't have to be so upset about this. I am merely a celestial and not an immortal. Even an immortal may not know anything about this too."
As he said that, he took a meaningful glance at Bai Qianfeng and Yun Chi; they were looking a little flushed as well.
Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had suddenly interrupted everyone as she turned to face Old Reverend Beiyuan, "Enough with the talks. They have only 7 days to be in this place and this place only opens every 500 years."
Old Reverend Beiyuan was still growling as he said unhappily, "True, true…"
Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing continued, "Every time we have failed the trials here, we will be kicked out of the Goddess Star Palace. Although we can enter throughout the year but we have to pay a heavy price to replenish our profound strength. If you have not found the Goddess' Tear, I am reluctant to enter the Goddess Star Palace in such a short time after my last failure."
Old Reverend Beiyuan continued to mutter weakly, "True, true…"
Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing turned to Ji Yuan and his party to say coolly, "This is but the 1st room and we have 3 portals here. In this case, this is the easiest and we already know that the left portal is the portal to the next room. Every time we enter a new room, there will be an additional portal. Therefore room 32 will have 34 portals. We are currently struck there."
Ji Yuan nodded and asked, "So what if we choose the wrong portal?"
Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing smiled coldly, "Then we have to take a trial successful and be kicked from the Goddess Star Palace. I can assure you that you don't want to fail it because none of you will be able to survive it."
Ji Yuan: …
Everyone: …
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Actually we only have to follow you to the correct rooms, right? So it is quite safe for us."
Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing smiled slowly, "You seem to have forgot that I've mentioned to you that the Goddess Star Palace is fraughted with dangers. From time to time, the guardians of the Goddess Star Palace will manifest and if we are unlucky enough, you'll see them."
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Haha… I really don't want to see them at all."
But he asked curiously, "Hmm, so you've searched all the portals to reach room 32? If there are 7 of you, isn't it only a matter of time for you to find room 33? Maybe all of you should work together to find the right portal to room 33."
This time Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing was unhappy as she answered, "Do you really think it is easy to overcome the trials here? It takes us a lot of time to discover the right portals and moreover the portals reset every 500 years."
Ji Yuan was startled, "The portals will reset each time?! Then how did you even reach room 32 in a single year? I hope this isn't your first few attempts or else we are screwed for sure."
Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing lifted her right finger and pointed to the canvas imagery of the Boundless Sovereign Demon God, "Did you not see that his eyes are looking to the left? This is the clue."
Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "You mean every 500 years the direction of his eyes will change?"
Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing nodded slowly, "Now you get it."
Ji Yuan almost fainted, "That is creepy…"
But the Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had already turned around as she fluttered her cloak to enter the left portal.
When the Old Reverend Beiyuan saw her moving toward the left portal, he hastily moved to follow her.
Ji Yuan followed behind Old Reverend Beiyuan and asked, "You remember how to go to Room 32, don't you?"
Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed weakly, "Not really. This year, I've only managed to reach Room 20. I was recuperating until you guys come along."
Ji Yuan was stunned, "You mean you don't remember which portals to take? I mean the clues in the room?"
Old Reverend Beiyuan took a look at Ji Yuan and bitterly said, "You think too simple. Do you really think that the clues are so obvious each time?"
Ji Yuan: …
Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi, the Lovely Empress: …
Ji Yuan had suddenly remembered what the Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had said about them not able to survive a single trial here and he had suddenly freaked out.
