Chapter 929 The End Of The 4th Trial
When Ji Yuan had entered the shimmering portal, the profound voice of the Trial Spirit boomed above him.
“Your team is the first to reach the end point of the fourth trial. In additional to 3 days of break, you are 2 ½ days early for this trial. All in all, you shall be granted 5 days of rest before the start of the fifth and final trial.”
After that he had materialized in his city-state arena again.
But this time, he was alone.
There was no sight of Xiao Muhan or his Senior Sister Chu Lixue since his team was first.
With a soft sigh, he began to sit down in a corner to cultivate.
But he was actually feeling quite restless as he was quite anxious for Chu Lixue, Zhi Jiugong, the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu and Xiao Muhan.
As for Shui Xisi, he was not worried for her since they had overcome the fourth trial together.
He was not worried that they could not overcome the first and second level of the Dream Dungeon of Tenebris but he was worried that they may not be able to overcome the temptations that were at the third level.
He had thought that he had a good team and they were able to overcome the first two levels with barely any losses except for one Huo Mingdi that tried to kill him. So this was not the trial issue.
But on the third level, there were 3 great saints that could not resist the temptations of plucking the Dao Fruits and they had met their demise by having their cultivation core detonating forcefully, which was a most horrible way to die.
After Ji Yuan had cultivated for 2 more days, he saw a cultivator flashing into the arena and after a while, he had recognized the cultivator to be Yang Batian.
Yang Batian was delighted when he saw Ji Yuan, “Hahahaha. I know that the Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan will be able to overcome your trial.”
JI Yuan smiled when he saw that it was someone that he had recognized, “Finally there is someone! I was so bored for the past 2 days.”
ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm Yang Batian was startled, “You mean you have completed the trial 2 days ago?!”
“That’s right. Anything wrong?”
Yang Batian bitterly said, “This trial isn’t easy at all. It tested the cohesion of the team at all the 3 levels and I lost 6 of my team due to temptations.”
Ji Yuan was forced to admit, “Actually, it isn’t easy for my team as well. We have lost 4 cultivators and they are all great saints.”
Yang Batian coughed weakly as he nodded, “I see. I must go and cultivate for my profound strength now…”
Ji Yuan nodded as he saw that Yang Batian had several wounds on his body.
Yang Batian laughed coarsely as he said to Ji Yuan, “You too. You look worse than me. Hahahaha.”
Indeed, Ji Yuan was covered with severe burns by the 81 purple lightning tempering but he was feeling quite alright by now after he had a break of 2 days but it was mostly thanks to Aura.
By now, he had regained 30% of his inner spiritual sea and the Dao Fruit seemed to help Aura a lot with her speed of cultivating.
Now this 30% of his inner spiritual sea was even more robust when he was at 100% of his inner spiritual sea before he was struck by the 81 purple lightning.
The profound effect of the 81 purple lightning had a most pronounced effect on his inner spiritual sea and profound strength.
During this time, he had also remembered he had asked the Goddess Destiny for a divination on the outcome of his trial and she had replied, “You will meet with plenty of crisis and death will longer around you.”𝑛𝔬𝑣𝑬𝑙𝑵ℯxt.𝑐𝚘𝗆
He sighed to himself: This Goddess Destiny is indeed a Great Oracle. I shouldn’t have doubted her…
He continued to cultivate but it was mostly to cultivate for the speedy recovery of his wounds.
Another 1 day soon passed and it was the last day of the fourth trial.
But there were only two breathless and wounded cultivators that had appeared in the arena.
All in all, it seemed to him that their city-state arena only has 4 surviving champions.
There was no sight of Xiao Muhan or Chu Lixue.
It means that they had probably met their demise in this trial.
Although Ji Yuan had mentally prepared himself for the worst but deep in his heart, he was still unable to accept it.
The Trial Spirit announced over the arena, “The fourth trial has ended. A total of 55 champions have made it to the qualifying fifth round.”
Ji Yuan began to sigh heavily; it was because there were still 4 champions in this arena and there was no sight of either Xiao Muhan or Chu Lixue!
The Trial Spirit continued to announced, “The qualifying champions will be given 3 days of cultivation rest before the start of the fifth trial.”
There was nothing that Ji Yuan could do now and he was miserable.
The other two male champions were not as lofty as the champions that had looked down on Ji Yuan at the start of the trial here.
In fact, they displayed a grudging respect for Ji Yuan and Yang Batian since they were all the surviving champions and they were all extraordinary in their own ways.
One of the male champions introduced himself as Wu Henan and he was a champion of Divine Consort Tang Manni.
As for the other male champion, he had introduced himself as Gongsun Yi and his patron divine consort was Dongfang Xin.
It was now obvious that Divine Consort Sun Dingjun had no more champions and she had been completely eliminated from the fifth trial.
Ji Yuan and Yang Batian had also introduced themselves to the two champions.
Ji Yuan asked them if they know Ling Feiyue, Chu Lixue the Smiling Divine Maiden, Zhi Jiugong or the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu from their surviving teams.
To his disappointment, either Wu Henan or Gongsun Yi had heard of them.
After that, they began to take their cultivation rest as they all had some degrees of injuries on them.

In the divine temple of the Snowy Pavilion City, the 4 divine consorts were glad that Ji Yuan had made it through to the qualifying rounds of the fifth trial.
Divine Consort Sun Dingjun did not look disappoint at all when all her champions had been eliminated since she was rooting for Ji Yuan in the first place anyway.
“Yuan Beluga has made it through to the qualifying fifth trial now…”
“Our city state only has 4 champions for the fifth trial…”
“I thought that Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan would die from eating that Dao Fruit…”
“Me too…”
“This Maiden Shui Xisi, who is she?”
“She looks close to him…”
“Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan… spank her butts…”
“It isn’t surprising that so many celestial maidens will love my Yuan Beluga. He is not only handsome but also a noble hero…”
“But do you think that it is weird that the number of Dao Fruits in Ji Yuan’s trial is more than the others?”
“As long as Ji Yuan can live through to the fifth trial, I don’t need to care about my other champions…”
Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing were also glad that Ji Yuan had survived the trial.
Yu Jingjing asked Yang Mi, “You are not sad that your Sister Chu Lixue didn’t make it to the fifth trial?”
Yang Mi smiled, “Her team got lost in the level 2 of the Dream Dungeon of Tenebris and her team got disqualified as the five days are up. I guess that my sister is now hopping mad because of this. But as long as she is alive, I am already too glad.”
Maiden Flower Ju smiled wryly to them, “At least it is better than Xiao Muhan and his team. They got disqualified at the gates of the Dream Dungeon of Tenebris and did not even have the opportunity to enter into the place. But I glad that he didn’t because he won’t be able to survive anyway.”
Yu Jingjing smiled before she turned to Yang Mi to say, “Maiden Ling Feiyue, Maiden Zhi Jiugong and Maiden Lu Jiangsu had all made it through to the fifth trial. I hope that they will be alright or Ji Yuan would be so sad.”
While Destiny may appear to be composed but she was really upset inside; it was obvious to her that something was wrong with the trial that Ji Yuan was in and someone was out to kill Ji Yuan.
Her first person that she suspected was naturally the Goddess Ai Tina.
But she could not find a reason why the Goddess Ai Tina would want to kill Ji Yuan after he had saved her and Xu Yifei from Number 1.
But sometimes there was no need for any reason to hate someone.
She got a big shock when Maiden Shui Xisi had suddenly thrown a Dao Fruit into Ji Yuan’s mouth and she had almost appeared to kill this Shui Xisi.
But luckily, Ji Yuan was perfectly alright and he seemed to be in a relationship with this Shui Xisi as well.
