The next day, Yuan Ji, Xue Qianxue and Ling Feiyue followed Elder Mo Bei to a nearby floating island.
This floating island had a formidable defensive array protecting it and there were several strong profound signatures of several saints on this floating island. However these saints stayed away from their sights so they could not exactly see who they were.
Elder Mo Bei said coolly to them after they had all landed, “You can tie your Spirit Crane here.”
With that he had led them to a hidden white cave in the dense forests.
The interior of the white cave was actually extremely spacious and it was actually a beautiful hall that was laid with celestium slabs and the walls were all polished to a bright white.
This was actually not a cave at all but a secret cultivation hall!
They followed Elder Mo Bei to a beautiful passage with many intricate runes on the walls before coming to another grand hall.
Inside this grand hall which was equally splendor, Great Saint and Diviner Mo Ming was sitting in front of a gigantic golden cauldron which was filled with millions of high grade spirit stones.
Around Diviner Mo Ming were six golden saints.
Xue Qianxue whispered to Yuan Ji, “They are all elders of the Mo Clan and are at least the middle-tier seventh realm sacred saint level. Be respectful to them.”
Ling Feiyue was looking very startled.
She knew that the Mo Clan was a powerful celestial clan but she had always thought that it was weaker than the seven major orthodox clans, the five major unorthodox clans and the three heretic palaces. But it seemed that she was completely wrong in that.
The number of saints in this place was not lesser in numbers than any of the patriarch clans of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity!
In fact, it was stronger than her own celestial clan.
Elder Mo Bei said solemnly to Yuan Ji and Ling Feiyue, “I am bringing you here because we trust you. Do not tell anyone about the Dream Trial or anything what you have witnessed today.”
Yuan Ji and Ling Feiyue immediately promised him with utmost politeness.
They knew that it was all because of Diviner Mo Ming and Xue Qianxue that they were allowed into their consecrated ground.
Yuan Ji had never expected that Xue Qianxue would have such a formidable background. It was no wonder that the Celestial Orthodox Sect was so unwilling to brand her as a traitor. Branding her a traitor would mean offending the Mo Clan at the same time.
Moreover Diviner Mo Ming was a well-known great saint that lived for a very long time. How old he was? He was actually more than ten thousand years old!
He was so old that he was no longer looking young and had started to age. Soon, he would be attempting his immortal ascension.
Diviner Mo Ming smiled when he saw them, “Qianxue, come over here.”
Then he turned to smile at Yuan Ji and Ling Feiyue, stroking his beautiful long white beard while doing so. “The two of you come over here as well.”
Yuan Ji had a look of envious when he saw Diviner Mo Ming stroking his beard in front of him. I missing my beautiful long beard already…
As Yuan Ji walked over to Diviner Mo Ming, he greeted everyone. “Junior here pays my respect to all the seniors here…”
Ling Feiyue and Xue Qianxue also did the same as they followed Yuan Ji’s lead.
One of the elders smile at them, “We are inferior to you. Among us, only our Great Patriarch had the lucky occurrence of encountering the Nine-Stage Purple Lightning Tribulation.”
The rest of the elders were also laughing jovially too.
“Qianxue, we are really proud of you. Haha.”
Qianxue smiled coyly, “Alas! I have the guidance of my elders to thank for. How can Qianxue says that it is my own efforts? Moreover I had also once taken the Dream Trial with everyone’s help and had overcome my life and death tribulation to become a saintess.”
The elders were all very pleased with Xue Qianxue’s reply and they were all in a good mood.
Diviner Mo Ming was also laughing heartily as he pointed at the golden cauldron in front of them, “Ji Yuan, do you know that today you will be burning one billion high grade spirit stones?”
When Yuan Ji heard him, he wanted to faint on the spot!
This golden cauldron actually had one billion high grade spirit stones in it!

He muttered to Xiang Li in his soul sea, “Darn! I don’t want to take this trial anymore. Just give me 1% of the one billion high grade spirit stones and I can shake my leg in cultivation retirement now.”
But he was only joking.
So he replied politely, “I thank senior for your grooming. But what is this Dream Trial all about? How long will it take? I know nothing about it.”
Diviner Mo Ming laughed as he pointed to a sealed door behind him, “The entrance of the Dream Trial is actually just behind me.”
Yuan Ji turned to look at the beautiful golden gate that was behind Diviner Mo Ming. “So this is the entrance of the Dream Trial?”
Diviner Mo Ming said solemnly to Yuan Ji, “The Dream Trial is actually a tempering of the soul force of the cultivator. The seventh realm sacred saint level is also known as the soul level. It is easy enough to temper the energy and the spirit level. All you need is a little time and enlightenment. But the soul level is the most difficult to temper. The longer a cultivator lives, the weaker is the soul. It is because the longer a cultivator lives, the more inner demons will be cumulated hence it will result in a weaker soul level.”
Yuan Ji nodded quietly as he completely agreed with that. The reason why he had not attained the Natural Instinct yet was because he found it difficult to merge his energy, spirit and soul perfectly as one. If he could temper his soul then there may be a chance that he could achieve the Natural Instinct as his state of divinity.
“Therefore the Dream Trial is a trial that may help you to overcome your inner demons and hence, strengthen your soul.”
Yuan Ji gulped as he said silently; this costs one billion high grade spirit stones to trigger. I got a feeling that some immortal cultivators have played a joke on you…
“Actually I don’t have a lot of inner demons and my soul is actually quite pure.” Yuan Ji smiled confidently. He even pointed at Xiaobai and said, “Look, I can even attract a spirit beast to follow me. This shows my soul is actually quite pure.”
Diviner Mo Ming used his divine sense to check Yuan Ji’s soul sea and he was smiling weakly. The result was actually quite unexpected…
Yuan Ji Inner Demons Victories: 999+
Yuan Ji Pure Soul Victories: 99
“This Ji Yuan got too many inner demons and his soul is actually quite impure. The number of times that he had also sworn on his soul sea to tell a lie is also appalling…” Diviner Mo Ming had a weak look on him as he smiled awkwardly at Yuan Ji before he cursed him silently. “Darn him. He just corrupted my divine sense with his impure soul…how is it possible for him to survive a Nine-Stage Purple Lightning?! It must be the pureness of my Qianxue that had helped him…grrr…”
Yuan Ji had a triumphant smile as he always believed that his soul was quite pure. After all, he was a gentleman of the sword and has always followed the honor code of the martial spirit with great zeal.
Diviner Mo Ming thought, “I have better not tell him this or else he will get a huge setback…”
