c75: The Sacred Maiden Ceremony (1)

As soon as it was daybreak, the heaven gates of the Celestial Orthodox Sect were filled with thousands of cultivators for today was the crowning ceremony of the new sacred maiden!

These cultivators all had a proud smirk on their faces because they were considered to be important figures to be invited.

The invitation cards were divided into Prestige, Gold, Silver and Bronze.

Only the other six major orthodox celestial clans would receive the prestige invitation cards.

Most of the invitation cards that were given out were actually the bronze invitation cards but to many of the cultivators, getting an invitation was better than none!

The whole place was extremely noisy as everyone had an excited look on their faces. Moreover it was like the big gathering and everyone was just trying to greet or ingratitude to one another.

“Haha, isn’t that my old friend…”

“Greeting fellow cultivators!”

“Brothers!”

“Haha, you have an invitation too?”

“We are from XXX sect and XXX place. I wonder if we can be friends?”

Some of the cultivators were already drooling at the thought that they would be seeing the Goddess Xue Qianxue.

“Alas! It is such a pity that we will only see her for the last time…”

“She isn’t going to die. She is just going for her great saintess breakthrough.”

“With her talents, maybe her reclusion will end in a short few hundreds years…”

“Why is she so hasty in achieving a breakthrough?”

“Listen up! I know! It is because her rival Dark Mistress Ling Feiyue is now a great saintess…”

“It is a pity that Ling Feiyue is an unorthodox cultivator and we won’t have a glimpse of her…”

“The gentle refined beauty of Ling Feiyue is like the beauty of the moon while glorious beauty Xue Qianxue is like the warmth of the sun…”

“The four goddesses are Fairy Ye Chengxi, Ling Feiyue, Xue Qianxue and Xia Jiaqing…”

“It seems that we are now back to the two goddesses now…”

“Seems so. Goddess Xia Jiaqing is now missing while Fairy Ye Chengxi is now married…”

“Who is that lucky bastard that married Fairy Ye Chengxi?”

“Don’t worry. That lucky bastard is soon going to be dead in one month time…”

“Maybe that will be a good time to go to the Emperor Hall Sect to console Fairy Ye Chengxi…”

“I actually like Fairy Ye Chengxi better…because she is easier to control than the other goddesses…”

“Among the four goddesses, only the Palace Mistress Goddess Xia Jiaqing is the most mysterious…”

“She had founded the Emperor Hall Sect with the help of her four grand elders. Although it looks like she was a capable leader but I have some insider news from the Emperor Sect Hall. Xia Jiaqing is actually extremely lazy and she barely likes to lift her fingers…”

When Yuan Ji heard the latest round of gossips about Xia Jiaqing, he was smiling and agreed silently. “She is not only lazy but she is also a bimbo!”

It took him all his willpower to resist the temptations to join into the gossips.

Yuan Ji had a worn a fake beard for this occasion. It took Hua Wuwu and Wu Baiyue a lot of efforts to persuade Yuan Ji to wear the fake beard. It was because Yuan Ji was disgusted with the thought of wearing a fake beard.

“Are you a real man? Do you even have this small amount of tolerant?”

“A true man can taste the bitter gall and endure the humiliations.”

But in the end they won over him because they had ‘taunted’ him and Yuan Ji’s Undying Fighting Spirit had worked against him.

As for Hua Wuwu and Hua Baiyue, they had donned a veil and did not need any disguise.

Yuan Ji had also used his mystic art to hide his golden celestial enlightenment.

When Hua Wuwu and Hua Baiyue saw that he could hide his enlightenment, they quickly asked him to teach them this mystic profound art.

“To be honest with you. This mystic profound art isn’t easy to master. It takes me over ten years of constant practice to finally master it. It isn’t a profound art that you can learn in a single day.” Yuan Ji had explained to them.

When he had said that, they were quite disappointed.

Hua Wuwu asked him, “Where did you learn this mystic profound art from?”

“I had actually stolen it from the Evil Cultivation Palace when I was escaping from them.” He had purposely neglected to mention that he was in fact escaping from Little Princess.

When the two sister saintesses had heard that he had stolen it from the Evil Cultivation Palace, they had immediately lost interest in the mystic profound art. “No thanks.” They suddenly said.

After a few hours of queuing, they were soon near the heaven gates and Yuan Ji saw that everyone was now taking out their invitation cards.

It suddenly occurred to him that he had not really checked his invitation card.

Therefore he checked his invitation cards and saw that he had three bronze invitations. He turned to ask Hua Wuwu, “Erm, with your skills, you have only managed to get three bronze invitations?”

Hua Wuwu chuckled softly, “What? Are you expecting a gold invitation? If you are then why don’t you get it yourself?”

Hua Baiyue was giggling too before she said, “Stealing the gold invitation cards will be too noticeable. So are the silver invitations. It is better for us to work on the bronze invitations. Even if they have lost the bronze invitations, they dare not tell anyone about it.”

Yuan Ji nodded as it made perfect sense.

But still he could not help muttering, “The bronze seats will naturally be too far away from Xue Qianxue to rescue her…”

They were soon at the top of the heaven steps and they were told to line up in three groups; one line for the gold invitees, one line for the silver invitees and another line for the bronze invitees.
