In the Divine Temple at Snowy Pavilion City.
Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei, Divine Consorts Tang Manni, Dongfang Xin, Sun Jie'Er and Ding Jie'Er were quite relieved that the first trial had finally ended and that the second trial was starting soon.
They almost fainted from watching the first trial that had just occurred when almost half of the champions were all wiped out.
This trial was too brutal and was too difficult!
When Ji Yuan had slipped and was almost swallowed up by a pit sand monster, they were too shocked for words; the Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan did not die from any of the wild encounters and instead he was going to be killed because he had lost his footings.
This was a most hilarious way of dying.
Luckily, Ji Yuan was a super cultivator that had a powerful animus that could allow him to hover.
Ding Jie'Er wailed, "This trial is a little difficult, am I right?"
Xu Yifei tried to defend the Goddess Ai Tina by saying, "But at least Ji Yuan survives, right?"
The same scene had almost caused Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing to burst out in tears as they got overwhelmed by the thoughts that they would soon become widows.
Even Destiny had stopped sipping her spirit tea and was startled when Ji Yuan had suddenly fallen down the sandy slope.

The 2 days break was quickly over.
And the Trial Spirit of the Spiritas Tower was now announcing to the champions in their respective resting arenas, "Now to begin the second trial…"
"There are 330 champions that have successful made it through to the second trial…"
"In this second trial, you will be taken to a battle arena in a team of 6 to fight 3 rounds of battle with the primeval monsters that are at the seventh rank…. Up to 3 of you can fight a round together."
"…All 330 champions will be randomly seeded in a team of 6…"
Ji Yuan rubbed his chin with a look of astonishment at Chu Lixue.
It was as though he was saying: Only 7th rank primeval monster? Is it one or many? There must be a catch somewhere…
Before he could react actually say it to his senior sister, pillars of lights had already taken the champions away to another location.
It included Ji Yuan as well.
He soon found himself in a small arena and there were 5 others that were appearing at the same time too; but he could not see them due to the bright light or use his divine sense.
The Trial Spirit resounded above them, "You have 30 minutes to get to know each other and to decide which of you shall go for your Round 1, Round 2 and Round 3. Up to 3 champions can fight in a single round but you cannot choose a champion again…"
"… You gain 3 Points if you are able to win a battle with the primeval monster. But you will lose 1 point for each champion that has perished. You need to gain 6 points to qualify for the third trial…"
"When this trial ends, you will have 2 days of break…"
"…The countdown shall start now…"
When Ji Yuan's vision had cleared, he saw that among the other 5 champions were Xiao Muhan and his Senior Sister Chu Lixue; they had appeared clear to him first since they were also standing near to him before the light took them here.
Ji Yuan giggled as he looked at them, "Why am I not surprise this time?"
Xiao Muhan rubbed his eyes and was astonished to see Ji Yuan again.
Chu Lixue muttered weakly, "This trial must be rigged."
"Ji Yuan!"
A beautiful form had suddenly flashed to embrace into a dance with Ji Yuan and it was Ling Feiyue!
Ji Yuan was absolutely delighted to see Ling Feiyue and they were hugging and dancing in circle joyfully.
"Hahahaha… Feiyue, it is really you. We are in the same team!"
"Ji Yuan, you didn't die from the last trial. Amazing!" Ling Feiyue's soft heavenly giggles filled the atmosphere.
Ji Yuan: …
ƥandasnovel.com "Feiyue, what a thing to say to your lord. Aren't you afraid that I may be angry with you?"
Ling Feiyue giggled in a nonchalantly manner as she said gently, "Why should I care if you are angry? You should care if I am angry, right?"
Ji Yuan frowned, "But you never angry so why should I care if you are angry?"
Then he whispered to her, "I need to find my beloved Qianfeng next, the sooner the better."
Ling Feiyue whispered curiously, "What for? To sleep better?"
Ji Yuan frowned weakly, "No!"
Then he lowered his voice to a even lower whisper, "I need her help to make an avatar doll for me so that I can fake my own death in this trial."
"That is interesting," Ling Feiyue smiled. "But did it ever occur to you that she may not be in this trial as a champion at all?"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
"Erm, no…"
To the others, their conversations did not make any sense at all; it was because it sounds more like slinging mud on each other.
Ji Yuan suddenly said, "Well, we should try to introduce to the other champions first."
Beside Ling Feiyue, there were 2 other champions.
Everyone quickly introduced themselves.
"Ji Yuan!"
"Xiao Muhan."
"Chu Lixue."
"Ling Feiyue!"
A male champion immediately raised his hands up to greet with a smile, "I am Bu Danwang. It is my honor to be in the same team as Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan here."
It was obvious that he was a celestial champion as he got a black ring on his finger.
The he quickly greeted Ling Feiyue, "Maiden Ling, we have met again."
Ji Yuan immediately frowned unhappily when he noticed that Ling Feiyue was wearing too revealing and she was not even covering herself with a veil. "You know each other?"
Bu Danwang smiled, "Maiden Ling is my team leader from the last trial."
Ji Yuan continued to frown with a cold look; no one can green him, not even with their eyes!
The last champion to be introduced also had a black ring but he was wrapped in a black cloak that covered his face and he was walking awkwardly.
But somehow, Ji Yuan thought that this man looks a little familiar to him even though his profound signature seemed to be unknown to him.
"We have finally… met once again… Ji Yuan" The unknown man croaked.
"Who are you?" Ji Yuan frowned.
The unknown man laughed eerily before he unwrapped his face full of blisters and pus. "Do you still remember me?"
Ji Yuan frowned, "No, I don't. In fact, I have never met such an ugly man like yourself."
Everyone else: …
Although this unknown man was truly hideous but it was considered polite not to mention it but Ji Yuan had simply mentioned it in his face.
Actually, Ji Yuan did this on purpose as he did not like to play guessing games and he likes to make his potential enemies angry so that he could find an opportunity to exploit their weakness when they had lost their cool.
The hideous man was trembling and he was hissing angrily, "Ji Yuan! How dare you not recognize me?! I am Jin Yilong! You have caused me to be in this state. Luckily, I am still alive!"
When he had announced that he was Jin Yilong, Ling Feiyue and even Xiao Muhan were shocked; it was because the Jin Yilong that they know was supposed to be a handsome playboy that had uncountable beautiful maidens as his playthings.
But he had become like this and he even had a foul stench emitting from his body.
Ji Yuan was actually startled that this hideous man was actually Jin Yilong and he blinked his eyes before asking, "I see that you have really listened to my advice to cut off your ugly beard. So did you listen to my other advice and become a eunuch as well?"
Jin Yilong was shaking with rage now and his entire body seemed to be rattling with a weird sound.
All of a sudden, brown insectoid wings seemed to have spurted from his back!
This startled everyone and caused everyone to take a few steps backward in fear.
Chu Lixue and Ling Feiyue retreated the most steps because they were actually fearful of this Jin Yilong and because he looked quite disgusting too.
Only Ji Yuan stood on his ground but mainly because he valued his face too much to take a step backward and had to suck his thumb to face this hideous Jin Yilong.
Jin Yilong hissed as he raised his bony fingers that seemed to have spikes of hair growing on him, "Ji Yuan, I am going to kill you in this place. You have caused me to be in this state. I will let you die slowly by eating you piece by piece. I am no longer the weak Jin Yilong that you know anymore. In fact, I am stronger than even a peaked great saint now in my metamorphosis state!"
Ji Yuan bitterly said, "Why didn't you die yet…"
