A big incense burner had been put in the middle of the street for all to be the witnesses and it would also act as a countdown for the duel between Ji Yuan and Number 1 to be started.
Ji Yuan asked Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao, "Do you need more incense time? Like 5 or more?"
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao replied coldly, "No!"
Ji Yuan weakly said, "No harm letting me know if you ever change your mind about this."
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was astonished that this Ji Yuan seemed to talk a lot and she had no idea what his ulterior motive was.
Is he just buying himself time for more reinforcements?
So that they would all attack her together?
Or he needed 3 burning incense time to ask about her strengths and weaknesses?
Her suspicions were confirmed when she saw Ji Yuan walking over to the side of Goddess Ai Tina, Xu Yifei and Tang Manni.
Following Ji Yuan were Yang Mi, Yu Jingjing, Ding Jie'Er, Sun Dingjun and Dongfang Xin.
The Goddess Ai Tina was now warning Ji Yuan, "Be careful! She is an immortal cultivator and she is also a sword deity!"
Ji Yuan looked truly startled, "What? She is a sword deity?"
Crap…
Xu Yifei was also warning him, "So far, she has only displayed only one sword domain. The name of her sword domain is the Sword Dao of the Small Universe. And she has damaged my immortal divine shield with it."
Ji Yuan was truly startled.
What sort of a profound power could damage even an immortal divine shield?
He asked weakly, "She is a 9th cultivation realm immortal?"
pandasnovel.com Xu Yifei said quietly, "She has only displayed her cultivation realm to the 7th cultivation realm and she can already damage my immortal divine shield with her sword domain."
Ji Yuan blinked his eyes, "This is scary…"
Xu Yifei continued to say, "And she says this is her weakest sword domain."
Ji Yuan almost fainted on the spot; this Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao seems like a most difficult opponent all of a sudden.
When Xu Yifei had briefed Ji Yuan and the others that had come with Ji Yuan, they were all shocked as well.
Sun Dingjun, Ding Jie'Er and Dongfang Xin could not believe that such a strong cultivator using only the 7th cultivation realm would actually exist.
Dongfang Xin muttered, "I don't believe…"
Xu Yifei said quietly, "The Goddess Ai Tina and I even fight her together but we are still defeated by her and almost got ourselves killed."
Tang Manni said, "With so many of us now, do we need to fear from a lone cultivator?"
Ji Yuan frowned all of a sudden, "This is a duel. My duel."
If there is something that Ji Yuan is picky about, it is his duel is his duel. No one should interfere in his duel.
This is his pride as a sword saint.
That was why he did not run away from his duel with the Divine Palace Master of the Hundred Flowers Divine Palace even though he could still evacuate just his love ones. But he could not abandon everyone else in the Five Heavens Peak to their fates.
Also, Ji Yuan had already been through several life and death duels as a sword saint and he was no stranger to accepting a challenge from a superior cultivator.
Once a challenge has been accepted, Ji Yuan has every obligation to fulfill it even though it may look foolish to the others.
He was no stranger to dueling at World's End against the Divine Palace Master who turned up to be Xia Jiajia.
It was because before he had known Jiajia, he had already fought more than 100 times with various cultivators at World End and many other places as well.
It was just that he did not feel it was necessary to tell anyone about it especially if it was a secret duel.
That is the reason why Ji Yuan is a Sword Saint and this martial honor is also part of the sword saint's cultivation.
But it is not just martial honor alone.
It is the guts of being fearless even unto death that is part of the sword saint's cultivation.
Ji Yuan doesn't fear death and often make light of his situations.
When he had exited his seclusion from his breakthrough to the seventh sacred saint level, he had kicked the rocks blocking his way and almost collapsed the cave; the first thing that he had joked was that he was almost killed by the falling rocks even though he would not exactly die since he had already formed his golden body from the fifth cultivation realm onward.
The Goddess Ai Tina said to Ji Yuan, "We should ask the Great Oracle for her opinion first. After all, she already knows about your calamity."
Ji Yuan had no issue about this since he believes in his own invincibility that he was being protected by the Great Oracle.
So Ji Yuan and everyone else began to approach the surprised Destiny.
"Um?"
The Goddess Ai Tina smiled, "Great Oracle, we believe that this must be the number 1 great calamity that you are talking about. So, we will like to have more advise from you."
Destiny looked a little sheepish before she said regally, "Get me some spirit tea first."
The Goddess Ai Tina and everyone else were suddenly enlightened with great delight for they all know that the Great Oracle may be trying to make a divination with the tea leaves in the spirit tea.
Xu Yifei immediately said to Maiden Flower Ju, "Get the best spirit tea for our Great Oracle!"
"Right away!" Maiden Flower Ju had immediately dashed into the tavern with several of the female spiritas followers of Xu Yifei.
A short while later, Destiny was sitting down with a table next to her and she was sipping the spirit tea.
Ji Yuan asked curiously about her divination, "So how is it?"
Destiny answered enigmatically, "Good tea."
Ji Yuan: ???
Everyone: ???
