When Ji Yuan had exited the trial, a red portal had appeared in front of him. Obviously only a cultivator with the Key of Righteous would be able to enter into this portal.

He was soon joined by Feng Minyue, Ling Feiyue, Bai Qianfeng and Yun Chi; they had all obtained the Key of Righteous.

The Great Beyond Goddess had also appeared next to him and she was still clinging onto him but this time Ji Yuan did not dare to touch her. In fact, he was extremely uncomfortable next to her!

But he had to pretended otherwise or 'he will be killed' by her.

He was soon joined by Mo Bei, Little Princess, Shui Xisi and Yu Jingjing. Unfortunately, they had all failed the trial and failed to obtain the Key of Righteous; they had the most downcast face.

Ji Yuan could only smile bitterly as he tried to comfort them, "We are already on the final floor of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth. Soon, we will be in the final trial and will be able to meet again."

Shui Xisi was in disbelief as she muttered, "I don't believe it. How can I fail this trial?"

She was the daughter of the heavens and her talents were boundless; she simply refused to believe that she had failed the trial.

Ji Yuan could only sigh in front of her as he said, "This trial is really hard. I've almost failed as well. This trial is actually impossible to pass."

Mo Bei totally agreed as he slammed his fists, "This trial is simply too hard!"

Little Princess shrugged her shoulders, "I am never a righteous cultivator to begin with anyway. Naturally it is impossible for me to pass this trial. I just can't figure why I've failed though. I try to be as righteous as possible."

She took a quiet look at Ling Feiyue who had passed the trial. Even though Ling Feiyue was an unorthodox cultivator but she had never done a single unorthodox deed and instead she had roamed the orthodox fraternity to right injustice with another identity.

Yun Chi said nonchalantly, "You need to look beyond the trial. On the surface, the trial appears to be righteous and you seem to be able to pass by following the wishes of the majority but this is actually a trap. I've barely passed the trial myself."

Feng Minyue nodded, "I agree. I don't think I have a good result for my first trial. It is only during my second trial that I've discovered that something seems to be amiss. As a matter of fact, I've found myself making some very hard decisions. This trial is really not easy at all."

Yu Jingjing had a tear expression as she muttered, "I can't believe my results…"

She had a good result on her previous trial on the final floor and she had helped everyone to pass their trial. But now she had such a miserable result…

Ji Yuan…

She had turned to stare tearfully at Ji Yuan as she muttered his name silently. She just did not want to be separated from him in this trial. It just grieved her heart so much…

Ji Yuan tried to force out a smile as he bitterly said, "Nevertheless this will be a short parting and I can't forget my mission of obtaining the artifact core of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth."

He turned to look at Yun Chi who remained nonchalant. This was her mission as well.

But to Yun Chi, things seemed to have changed now…

Feng Minyue said quietly, "Although some of us have failed the trial but this doesn't mean that those who have failed are unable to continue."

Yu Jingjing asked with a stammering voice, "What do you mean?"

Feng Minyue brushed aside her beautiful hair and softly said, "This is just like the other trials on the lower levels. If you have failed the trial, it doesn't mean you are unable to proceed further. All you need is to find another portal on the final floor of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth and obtain the Key of Righteous. Then you can continue onward to the final trial."

Mo Bei slammed his fist, "That is right! I've entered into the panic mode too early!"

Feng Minyue nodded, "The other cultivators will all be looking for the same golden portal as well. We are not just the only cultivators who are trying to vie for the ultimate completion of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth. Only your determination will get you to complete the trial in time. Instead of complaining, why don't you setoff immediately to look for the golden portals instead?"

Little Princess nodded, "Although every trial is different but thanks for the tips that are given to us, this time round, we may be able to obtain the Key of Righteous."

Ji Yuan nodded with a smile, "This is only a temporary parting. We will surely meet again very soon."

Yu Jingjing nodded quietly, "We will surely obtain the Key of Righteous and to join you inside the red portal for the final trial."

"Definitely." Ji Yuan forced out a smile. "So. let's hurry."

Although Ji Yuan was sad to part with some of his companions but he was also glad. It was not because they slowed him down but he was like a walking time bomb in the company of the beautiful maiden goddess cultivator.

The Great Beyond Goddess did not say anything behind her veil. Although she could summon the golden portals anytime but she did not display her cultivation prowess. As a matter of fact, she could even produce the Key of Righteous for everyone anytime she had wanted to but she had chosen to keep this a secret. After all, she was role playing an immortal cultivator that had lost her memories in front of everyone.

In this party, only Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng were a threat and she knew that Yun Chi was suspicious of her even though she did not display it.

Yun Chi was ever displaying a nonchalant look but she was wary of this new joiner. It was because even though she had lost her memory but she was extremely powerful cultivator!

How could there be a cultivator that was seemingly on par and even be stronger than her in the Celestial Realm?

Yun Chi had tried to peek into her cultivation soul sea multiple times but she failed to read past the Great Beyond Goddess' profound animus.

Just how strong was she?

If she was really so strong, why had she seemed to exhaust her cultivation strength so quickly?

This was a mystery to Yun Chi.

Naturally the Great Beyond Goddess would not tell her that she was sharing the same cultivation soul sea as Ji Yuan.

The same went for Bai Qianfeng as well; she was quietly observing the Great Beyond Goddess and she was quietier as usual.

Poor Ji Yuan was left to wonder inside his mind if the Great Beyond Goddess had some cultivation power to exhaust his cultivation energy. Naturally the Great Beyond Goddess would not tell him that they were sharing from the same source.

Ji Yuan's cultivation soul sea was too little to maintain the tenth immortal positioning cultivation strength of the Great Beyond Goddess, naturally.

Every time the Great Beyond Goddess blocked Ji Yuan's attack or injured Ji Yuan, she would consume Ji Yuan's cultivation energy. That was the reason why Ji Yuan felt really weak against her.

The Great Beyond Goddess naturally know that Ji Yuan was secretly scheming against her in his soul sea by consulting with Xiang Li and Anyang for she could listen into his soul sea; she could only smile happily at every one of his futile silly outcomes naturally.

Yu Jingjing took a final look at Ji Yuan before she said tearfully, "My lord Ji Yuan, I hope to see you soon enough."

Ji Yuan nodded, "We will. Who knows if we can see each other in the next moment again? Haha."

Yu Jingjing nodded. Meeting Ji Yuan was the happiest moment of her life and she regretted her past disdainful attitude toward him.

She said meaningfully and with great reluctant, "My lord, you must be the son of the heavens. Even though I do not know your background well but I can tell that you must be someone really very important in your sect."

Ji Yuan laughed softly, "You are not wrong about this. In fact, I am the sect grandmaster. Haha."

Yu Jingjing was delighted when she had heard this. "That is wonderful to hear. You are someone in great position of power. The mountains that you are cultivating upon must also be a great cultivation holy land. I can now imagine how rich is the cultivation spiritual seas in your mountain. I hope to join you there one day."

,m Ji Yuan weakly smile, "Of course you will. Didn't I already given you an artifact that can bond you to my Desolate Celestial Fraternity?"

But don't visit my mountains please.

It was because Ji Yuan's sect happened to be in one of the poorest regions in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. There were no spiritual seas except for lots of desolate monsters. That was another reason why he did not stay there often after he had reached the fourth realm cultivation and almost disappeared when he was at the fifth realm golden celestial cultivation.

Little Princess and Ling Feiyue could not help giggling when they had heard Yu Jingjing, "His place has plenty of cultivation resources. Be sure to go there someday."

Ji Yuan had a most ugly look when he had heard them as he bitterly said, "Sure. Sure."

He thought: They mean, cultivation resources = desolate monsters.

Yu Jingjing lit a smile as she looked at Ling Feiyue and Little Princess, "As his consorts and my good sisters here, I hope to visit you as well."

Little Princess gave an awkward smile; she had no cultivation mountains anymore…

Ling Feiyue only smiled shyly as she lowered her head, "Ji Yuan has other consorts…"

Yu Jingjing nodded and she smiled undeterred, "With his talent, naturally he will have many consorts."

Shui Xisi could not resist a chuckle from the sideway, "With his looks, you mean?"

The Great Beyond Goddess and Yun Chi could not resist a tiny movement from their bodies as they overheard Shui Xisi.

Even Feng Minyue could not resist saying, "He is not handsome at all."

Mo Bei said aloud, "He is definitely not handsome at all and most importantly, he has no beard at all!"

However, none of the maidens actually agreed with him.

Shui Xisi ignored Mo Bei and said to Yu Jingjing, "My good sister, come to my cultivation mountain one day. My sect is one of the three sacred places in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. It is definitely better than Ji Yuan's cultivation mountains."

Yu Jingjing was startled and in fact shock, "You don't stay together?"

After all, she had overheard them making love more than once and she had always thought of them as a couple.

Shui Xisi smiled awkwardly. How could she tell Yu Jingjing that they were actually having an 'affair'?

"Well…"

Ji Yuan suddenly interrupted awkwardly, "Well, I have many consorts and some of them are their own sect grandmasters. So we don't really stay together. Haha."

Shui Xisi took an awkward look at Ji Yuan, "Who is your consort? Are we even married?"

Ji Yuan laughed, "I can only say that Matriarch Shui Xisi is a little loose…"

*Kick*

Shui Xisi had suddenly kicked Ji Yuan and Ji Yuan was laughing.

If it was not for the Great Beyond Goddess that was next to Ji Yuan, Shui Xisi would have kicked and slapped him several times more.

Ling Feiyue muttered speechlessly, "These two are always not honest with themselves…"

Ji Yuan suddenly jokingly said, "Why don't I enter this red portal first while the rest of you form a part to look for the golden portal instead? Haha…"

"No and why?" Yun Chi said all of a sudden, startling the maidens.

Some of the maidens were quite surprised that Ji Yuan had suggested so.

Only Yun Chi and Feng Minyue could guess the reason why.

Feng Minyue was smarter than most but she had quietly suppressed her thoughts about the immortal cultivator that was next to Ji Yuan.

Yun Chi naturally knows that Ji Yuan was subtly trying to warn them but some how she wanted to challenge the immortal cultivator.

The Great Beyond Goddess had suddenly stroke Ji Yuan's face with a curtsy smile, "Why, you want to get rid of them and be with me alone?"

Mo Bei did not know of the reason and he could not resist a frustrated voice, "Young man, this is too much! You are too lecherous to be forgiven!"

Ji Yuan could only laugh bitterly, "It is only a suggestion. Haha…"

Mo Bei hummed coldly, "It has better be!"

Ji Yuan smiled weakly before he said, "It is time for us to part ways."

Yu Jingjing nodded sorrowfully as Little Princess, Mo Bei and Shui Xisi stood grimly behind her.

Ji Yuan took a final look at Yu Jingjing, Little Princess and Shui Xisi before saying, "I hope that we will meet really soon."

With that, he had entered the red portal with the Great Beyond Goddess, Yun Chi, Feng Minyue, Bai Qianfeng and Ling Feiyue.

Shui Xisi sighed softly before she smiled at Yu Jingjing, "You know. There is something that I wish to inform you first. Things are actually not that peaceful in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity..."

This surprised Yu Jingjing a little, "Explain?"

Little Princess took the opportunity to say, "We are at war there..."
