At the same time that the Divine Smiling Maiden was relating how they got to the Endless Celestial Fraternity, Ji Yuan had also learnt the Holy Cultivation Palace had a new Holy Cultivation Empress who was also an immortal.
Not only that, it was said that this Holy Cultivation Empress also had a side kick that was also an immortal.
That would make it 5 immortals that Ji Yuan had to fight against.
Little Jie'Er, Tang Manni and Xu Yifei were all looking quite anxious for Ji Yuan now after learning this new information from the captured cultivators.
Even the newly reunited Yu Jingjing and Yang Mi were alarmed after hearing this.
Even the White Sword Monarch was astonished.
Ji Yuan simply laughed it off, "I just treat this as a warming up for the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods. Hahaha…"
Although he was saying that in a light manner but he was secretly sighing as he had a dark foreboding in this forthcoming battle.
As he laughed, he said. "Senior sister, you still struck in your story after an hour. Why don't I tell my old man how I've defeated the Great Demon God Hong Meng?"
The White Sword Monarch turned in his direction with a startled look, "Little rascal, you really did defeat the Great Demon God?"
Ji Yuan chuckled, "Of course I did! But unfortunately, he had escaped to the Desolate Immortal Realm. Do you want to hear my epic battle?"
"No need. It is enough for me already," then he had returned his attention to the accounts of the Smiling Divine Maiden.
Ji Yuan: …
He continued to say aloud, "Old man, aren't you curious at all?"
The White Sword Monarch turned back as he frowned, "You've already told me that you've defeated the Great Demon God Hong Meng. What more do you want to say?"
Ji Yuan muttered, "That isn't the point. Don't you want to hear the details of my fight? Maybe my fight can inspire you?"
The White Sword Monarch had already turned back his back while saying, "No need at all. Thank you."
Ji Yuan: …
For the very first time, he felt defeated and he was defeated by his old man.
He began to mutter to himself, "Old man, if you are not injured, I may have already kicked you to your bucket…"
All of a sudden, he spotted someone familiar among the captured cultivators.
Startled, he said to his maidens, "Wait here. I think I saw an old friend of mine among the captured cultivators."
Little Princess was astonished, "You actually got a friend among the captured cultivators?"
Even the Lovely Empress, the Smiling Divine Maiden, Zhi Jiugong, Yang Mi, Yu Jingjing and even the White Sword Monarch were all looking quite astonished as Ji Yuan flew down from the cliff where the 800 cultivators were sitting in the small valley below.
These captured cultivators were all guarded by cultivators above them and the cliffs were too steep and tall for them to climb up.
When Ji Yuan had suddenly jumped down to the 800 captured cultivators, many of them were startled and were looking to see what he wanted to do with them.
But Ji Yuan gave no indication of addressing all of them as he walked to a beard cultivator that had his head lowered in a corner.
This bearded cultivator was a golden celestial; in fact, he is a 6th realm cultivator and Ji Yuan could see his cultivation realm with just a single look due to his high cultivation. Even if he is a 6th realm supremacy that can conceal his cultivation realm, he can't conceal it from Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan chuckled, "Isn't this my old friend Tie Bawang? How come you are here? I've thought that you are already dead after all these years. How long since we had last seen each other? Nearly 500 years! It is good to see a brother here. Haha…"
Tie Bawang hummed coldly, "I don't have a friend like you. You are the reason why I've left the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. I can see that you are now a powerful cultivator now."
Ji Yuan frowned, "How the heck do I know that you will join the Holy Cultivation Palace and end up as my prisoner? Look, old friend. I can let you go since you are my old friend."
Tie Bawang hummed coldly, "Since the day I've left the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, I don't have a friend like you anymore. You are not my friend 500 years ago."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
"What the heck? I've always treated you like my friend but you actually didn't treat me like a friend? Do you know how many times that I've saved you?"
Tie Bawang hummed coldly, "Because of you, I've become the laughing stock of the Five Heavens Peaks and I can't stay there anymore. Because of you, I have to leave the Desolate Celestial Fraternity and come to the Endless Celestial Fraternity so that no one will recognize me anymore."
Ji Yuan frowned, "Honestly, I don't remember what I did to cause you to become a laughing stock. I just remembered that you had disappeared suddenly one day."
Tie Bawang angrily looked at Ji Yuan, "You really don't remember our battle against the Giga Bear?"
Ji Yuan blinked his eyes; a Giga Bear was a 3rd rank profound beast.
Now that Tie Bawang had mentioned it, he was suddenly frowning all of a sudden as he remembered that he had failed to kill that Giga Bear quite a few times and it was something that he had tried to erase from his memory.
At that time Ji Yuan was only 20 but he had prided himself as a skilled third realm cultivator that was good with the sword already.
Tie Bawang said coldly to Ji Yuan, "Let me refresh your poor memory then. When we are running away from a Giga Bear, did you say that Giga Bear cannot climb tree and that you will fight it?"
Ji Yuan blinked his eyes, "Yeah. I did say that. I broke my sword so I borrow your sword. As a precaution, I ask you to climb up the tree first."
Tie Bawang coldly said, "And the Giga Bear climb up the tree to chase me."
Ji Yuan weakly said, "I realty did try to fight that monster but your sword broke and I have to run in the other direction. I didn't know that the Giga Bear will go after you."
Tie Bawang hummed coldly, "And I become a laughing stock for unable to defeat a 3rd rank profound monster while you run away."
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "I don't have a sword. How do you expect me to fight a 3rd rank profound monster when I was only a 3rd realm cultivator at that time?"
Tie Bawang coldly added, "There was another time when another Giga Bear showed up again. You tell me that the Giga Bear cannot swim and you will climb up a tree."
Ji Yuan smiled weakly, "At that time I did not know that the Giga Bear was able to swim. Hahaha… I've thought that the Giga Bear may follow me up the tree and then I can jump off to run away…. Don't look at me like this. I don't know how to swim or else I would have followed you across the river."
