968 Ji Yuan Spirit Trial’s Rewards



Ji Yuan was eagerly anticipating for his rewards from the Trial Spirit.

The Trial Spirit had suddenly asked him, "Don't you want to know how you have undermined the Six Supreme Gods?"

This caught Ji Yuan by surprise as he was trying to suppress his curiosity first and he was trying to obtain his rewards first.

He weakly said, "Actually I do… but can you give me your rewards first?"

But the Trial Spirit ignored him and said instead, "You have managed to remove the profound darkness from the Spiritas Tower that has been killing the celestials. By doing so, you have indeed undermined the Six Supreme Gods of the Greater Spirit Realm. Therefore, you deserve an additional reward."

Ji Yuan was thinking weakly: Actually, it was that Silver Dragon God Beast that had killed that Rey whatever profound darkness and not me…

But he was also relieved because he did not remember he had ever done anything to undermine the Six Supreme Gods at all. However, if it was the profound darkness then at least he knows that he partially deserved it and he would not feel any guilt in obtaining this reward.

"I am going to give you your Trust Points reward first. This is quite unprecedent and I am afraid that you have broken all previous trial rewards. Therefore, I am going to give you something good, which is the insight of the Lesser Heaven Dao."

All of a sudden there was a sudden flash of light that had flashed into Ji Yuan, startling him.

But at the same time Ji Yuan was frowning, "Lesser Heaven Dao? What is that?"

The Trial Spirit heaved a soft sigh, "You just don't realize how lucky you are, do you. This Lesser Heaven Dao is a rare insight similar to your sword spirit. However, your sword spirit is a form of martial intent and is only useful to portray your sword profound arts…."

"This Lesser Heaven Dao is though, is the Ultimate Dao in which you cultivators have been cultivating to catch a glimpse of the Ultimate Dao through years of meditation. Sometimes, you can even meditate for thousands of years and yet it remains elusive to you!"

Ji Yuan muttered to Xiang Li and Anyang: How come I didn't know about this?

Xiang Li giggled: That is because my Big Brother is a lazy cultivator who never meditates….

Anyang chuckled: Our lord only meditates to recuperate and not to think about any Dao…

Xiang Li quickly stepped in to giggle: Big Brother's dao is the maidens! 

Ji Yuan: …

Thanks for your 'praises', my parasite spirit fairies. But shouldn't the two of you butter me up a little? Do you have to be so frank in my face?

But he quickly returned his attention to the Trial Spirit and frowned, "I don't feel any difference from this Lesser Heaven Dao. So, what does it do exactly?"

The Trial Spirit frowned a deep frown, "Didn't I just tell you that it will gives you a glimpse of the Ultimate Dao?"

Ji Yuan: …

"I know but I don't feel a thing, you know."

The Trial Spirit frowned, "Of course you don't feel a thing now. It will increase your chance of glimpsing the Ultimate Dao in the future. The benefit naturally isn't immediate. If you don't meditate, how do you gain any insights?"

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

JI Yuan: …

You mean this is a useless reward?!

Of course, Ji Yuan was only saying it in his thoughts and only Xiang Li and Anyang were able to hear him.

The two of them were looking as astonished as Ji Yuan too as they were expecting something great such as upgrading their divine swords further.

"This reward is a little lame," Ji Yuan muttered weakly. "How do I know when I can receive an insight? And what can an insight of the Ultimate Dao do for me?"

"Are you sure that you are even a cultivator?" The Trial Spirit frowned to Ji Yuan, "When you have received a Heavenly Dao insight, the benefits to your cultivation will be naturally be immerse. For example, you are able to cross over your cultivation blocker to the next boundary. You can even overcome your lightning tribulations and even ascend as an immortal in the future!"

Ji Yuan said weakly, "Well, I am already a peaked great saint now and also, I think with my divine swords in my hand, I will have no problem to ascend in the future. This Lesser Heavenly Dao insight seems to be a little useless for me…"

"Of course this may be a little useless for you," The Trial Spirit interrupted him with a frustrated voice. "If you are a lazy cultivator or a low talent cultivator, naturally you won't be able to glimpse at the Heavenly Dao no matter how hard you have tried. In short, your talents in cultivation are very important and this is something that you ought to invest more time in. Then you shall reap the benefits of cultivating…"

"I have actually spent 100 years in meditation quite recently. So I'm not going to do any deep meditation for some time," Ji Yuan chuckled. 

It was actually only for 10 years since Ji Yuan had spent the other 90 years doing other stuffs.

The Trial Spirit sighed heavily, "If I have a choice, I won't give this Lesser Heaven Dao to you because you look like a low talented cultivator to me."

Ji Yuan: …

I am a low talented cultivator?! How the heck can this Trial Spirit tells?

So he quickly protested, "You know. Looks can be deceiving. Actually, I am a talented cultivator. It is just that the more complicated cultivation profound arts can't make me focus on them and I don't want to waste years of time like a scholar…"

The Spirit Trial interrupted him, "That's enough. I don't want to listen to your excuses. Now for your second reward…"

Ji Yuan was looking excited again; he has almost forgotten about his second reward. As long as his second reward is good, he could allow the bad first reward to pass. 

"Because of your startling achievements in this trial," the Trial Spirit announced. "You shall be granted the insight of the Greater Heavenly Dao as your reward."

Ji Yuan was stunned, "What the heck?!"

With that, a more powerful brilliant light flashed on Ji Yuan's forehead again.

Ji Yuan's face however was blue, even red and it had even turned black; it was because he felt like he had been scammed by the Trial Spirit.

He suppressed his angry emotions to ask quite bitterly, "May I know what is the benefit of this Greater Heavenly Dao and how is it different from the Lesser Heavenly Dao."

The Spirit Trial said, "The Greater Heavenly Dao has a greater chance to occur for you to glimpse into a bigger portion of the Heavenly Dao for your future cultivation."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

"Can I change my rewards or not?"

The Trial Spirit hummed coldly from above Ji Yuan, "No you can't. And do you think that I would like to give you the Heavenly Dao as a reward? You have no idea how great the benefits the Heavenly Dao are for the talented cultivators. To give you the Heavenly Dao, is truly such a waste!"

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

This is too blunt…

All of a sudden, Ji Yuan said. "I've something to ask you first. Are you the Artefact Core of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth? Or rather, the Sentient Spirit of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth?"

The Trial Spirit: …

There was a short pause before the Trial Spirit said, "No, I am not. And begone…"

"No," Ji Yuan said firmly. "You are lying. I know that you are the artefact soul core of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth that I have been looking for."

There seemed to be a cold smile with the Trial Spirit, "What makes you say so? Or is it because the Heavenly Dao tells you so?"

Ji Yuan shook his head, "Nope. I have this guess since the first time that we have met…"

Anyang was suddenly turning to Xiang Li to say: Do you remember our lord tells us a while ago that he has a guess where the artefact core is?

Xiang Li muttered: I think so. This Trial Spirit is the Artefact Soul of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth?
