The Romantic Cultivator-Chapter 522 Bliss City Arena Second Trial (5)

Zhi Jiugong was gently playing her divine zither while the second trial was going on.

She had activated a small array that muted her surroundings from the rest of the arena so she would not be disturbed by anyone save for her eight accompanying maids who were all fourth level Immortal Celestials. These maids of hers were all half a step away from attaining as a full golden celestial.

Right now she was playing the 'Pure Tranquil Melody' on her divine zither. This melody had the effect of suppressing all emotion of lusts for the listener. However she did not need to play it for herself or to her maids to suppress the emotion of lust; it was because this was actually a secret spirit and soul profound art of the Death Faction and they all knew how to recite this intricate formula.

That was why she could send any of her maids to any of the dangerous trials of Bliss City, including the Extreme Bliss Colosseum and they still would not be affected by anything that was happening around them.

Right now she was just playing the 'Pure Tranquil Melody' just for her own amusements and also partly because Ji Yuan had helped her to repair the profound strings of her divine zither and this was the very first music that she had played for him.

All of a sudden she had turned ashen when she had suddenly thought of Ji Yuan; if Ji Yuan could understand her music, this would mean that he was already highly accomplished in a certain highly advanced recite heart profound skill and like her, he may have already attained the cultivation peak of the Heavens and Earth as One. And cultivators at this level were all immune to the outside emotions that could affect them.

Suddenly there was a shocked look in her golden eyes; that would also mean that Ji Yuan was someone that could control his desires very well and not be moved to commit fornications in this place...

Indeed. While Ji Yuan was someone that could be moved by his own desire or some said by Xiang Li to dominate and to have more harem members but he was unmoved by lust and he was never someone to scheme to forcefully dominate those that he had liked.

Some may even say he is more moved by his own face and pride than anything else but that is another story for another day.

Just as Zhi Jiugong was muttering, "Sisters, I think that we may have a miscalculation..."

She was suddenly shocked again. It was because she could see that Ji Yuan had suddenly found a secret passage in one of the many imageries below and he had gone in another direction.

"This, this..."

She was literally speechless.

Firstly Ji Yuan had not touched Ye Jing even though they had given him plenty of chances to be together. Secondly, he had found a secret passage and gone somewhere else.

In another imagery, she could see that the Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress were looking a little baffled now and was wandering the passage ways aimlessly. She knew that they were looking for Ji Yuan and had planted several knives along the way to weaken him. But this Ji Yuan simply did not follow their well-crafted script...

All of a sudden she was startled to see something else in the imageries; she had suddenly caught sight of a bulky man with a dark cloak over him and he was Vice Steward Gu Sangu and he was the brother of Steward Gu Bugu. Both of them were from the Dragon Faction.

The combat level of Vice Steward Gu Sangu was not weaker than her and as the dragon-demonic race, they could even transform into draconoids, a super metaphysical humanoid with resilient body and they even had leathery wings. When transformed, he was stronger than her.

She was really shocked to see Vice Steward Gu Sangu inside the arena trial because this Gu Sangu and his brother the Steward Gu Bugu had been lusting after the Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress for a long time now but there was nothing that they could do to them due to the special mystic laws of this place. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣o𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

But in the arena, it was different. Cultivators were allowed to hurt one another. And it was obvious that Gu Sangu knew that the real Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress were inside the arena as a contestant.

She took a quick look around her and she had quickly spotted Steward Gu Bugu as one of the arena speculators in the crowd.

"He is also here... that means that they are in this together..."

Now the Dragon Faction and the Death Faction were nominal allies. It was because the Great Demon God, the Desolate Dragon God and the Death God had founded this wonderland together as a base to steal the profound treasures of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

The Great Demon God had shown no real interest in this place in running this place except for his Evil Cultivation Palace. Therefore he had delegated the running of this place to the Desolate Dragon God and the Death God.

Although the Great Demon God had shown no real interest in this place but this place was a strategic asset that must be governed because this was where the bulk of all the profound riches of the Evil Cultivation Palace had come from.

The Desolate Dragon God had founded the Dragon Faction while the Death God had founded the Death Faction to run this place together because one of them would come every 500 years to collect the massive tributes of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

At the beginning, the Dragon Faction was the dominant force of this wonderland for Steward Gu Bugu and his brother the vice steward Gu Sangu were also one of the demonic races of the Desolate Divine Realm and they were held in high regard by the Desolate Dragon God.

Also in the beginning the Desolate Dragon God had visited this wonderland more than the Death God. However he soon grew bored of this land because there were no saintesses that could take his body without breaking their backs and the mystic laws of this place prevented him from wantonly taking any maidens that could have pleased him.

Although the Desolate Dragon God was also punished by the mystic laws here and suffered several backlashes, it did not affect his cultivation core since he was half-step Divinity.

Also a great battle took place thousands of years ago when the Desolate Dragon God began to battle with a powerful cultivator called the White Sword Monarch from the Endless Celestial Fraternity. At that time the Desolate Dragon God had only regained his profound strength to the eighth immortal positioning and he had thought that he was an invincible existence until he had met the White Sword Monarch.

In that battle the Desolate Dragon God was forced to use his trump card and transformed into his true draconoid form and he had defeated the White Sword Monarch.

Till to this day, Zhi Jiugong could not forget how terrifying this transformed form was and she still shivered to this day when she had remembered it.

Although the White Sword Monarch was defeated by the transformed Desolate Dragon God in the end, he still managed to escape from this wonderland and the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. Since that day, the Evil Cultivation Palace had marked him and he had never entered the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth again.

As for the speculators in the arena, the Desolate Dragon God had massacred everyone except for the Dragon Faction and the Death Faction by extending the arena trial to include the speculators.

The White Sword Monarch had never ascended too because he was now aware of the threat that could be posed by the Desolate Dragon God Longdi and till today, he had waited in the White Sword Celestial Clan of the Endless Celestial Fraternity.

The Evil Cultivation Palace however did not take further action against the White Sword Monarch mainly because his celestial clan was a major power in the Celestial Realm and was even the most powerful celestial clan in the Endless Celestial Fraternity.

Both the Evil Cultivation Palace and the White Sword Celestial Clan had both decided to play the waiting game instead.

Since that fateful battle in the arena, the Desolate Dragon God had rarely come again and he had spent the time to recuperate instead. Rather it was now the Death God Mingwang that had come more often nowadays.

And the Dragon Faction was actually quite resentful of the Death God Mingwang even though they did not show it openly and was even respectful to him for he was one of the three True Gods of the Desolate Divine Realm.

Although the Death Faction was more powerful now due to the protection of the Death God Mingwang but that was only once every 500 years.

In secret, Steward Gu Bugu and his brother Vice Steward Gu Sangu were always pressuring for the Smiling Divine Maiden, the Lovely Empress and Zhi Jiugong to copulate with them. It was their continuous refusals that had offended them and they had disliked the Death Faction.

Steward Gu Bugu was of course tired of playing with their dolls and he wanted much more and that was to dominate the real Smiling Divine Maiden, the Lovely Empress and Zhi Jiugong.

Just yesterday, he had even purposely asked the Death God Mingwang if he was going to the arena but the Death God Mingwang simply stated that he was not free to make his appearance.

Zhi Jiugong suddenly had two frightening premonitions and she was shivering.

One, did the two brothers Gu Bugu and his brother Gu Sangu had a way of communicating with each other? And Steward Gu Bugu was outside the arena to warn him?

Two, is Ji Yuan in cahoots with the Dragon Faction all this while?
