Chapter 1144 Ji Yuan is Dying
All the evil cultivators were soon put to the sword and Ji Yuan had opened the granary for everyone.
Ji Yuan said to Shui Xisi, Little Princess, Hua Baiyue and Hua Wuwu. "I shall remain in this place to protect it. You can all go back."
Shui Xisi was startled, "Ji Yuan, you are no afraid that the Evil Cultivation God will come back?"
Ji Yuan bitterly said, "He will naturally come back and I will do battle with him. But I don't want to give up on Jiajia's place without a fight."
Then he sighed woefully, "I want to let this mountain be the symbol of resistance against the Evil Cultivation Palace. If the returning golden celestials heard about this, some of them may even head for here to fight against the Evil Cultivation Palace. And…"
He had turned to look at the 10 000 common celestials that were still cheering him from afar, "The common celestials here need a hero. I can't abandon them so quickly after I have saved them. These common celestials can't run too. This region is their home. They would have run away if they have a choice but they can't. They can't even fight the profound beasts or the evil cultivators. So I need to be here, to give them a hope even though I may not be able to protect them."
Shui Xisi slowly nodded.
Little Princess asked Ji Yuan, "What was that earlier? Your sword art. And… are you really alright?"
Ji Yuan laughed softly, "Of course I am alright."
Hua Wuwu checked him, "Are you sure that you didn't take any weird profound pills to increase your cultivation strength or your profound strength? If so, you will soon receive a backlash for going beyond your cultivation strength."
Even Hua Baiyue was anxious, "That golden light is a 10th realm profound power that can destroy the entire celestial sect here. It isn't possible that you will be alright. Don't lie to us, Ji Yuan."
Ji Yuan patted his chest as he said weakly, "I am perfectly alright. Do I don't look alright to all of you?"
When he had said that, all 4 of the maidens were nodding at the same time.
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Hua Wuwu said firmly to Ji Yuan, "I am staying here. This is my mistress' celestial sect. So you have no right to drive me away."
"Same here!" Hua Baiyue was saying. "And I am sure that the protégés that we have brought with us also agree on this."
As she said so, she was also sighing heavily.
It was because in the past several months many of the elders and protégés had died fighting the Evil Cultivation Palace; this included the First Elder and Second Elder of the Hundred Flower Divine Palace, a secret celestial sect that the Saintess Fang Zhenfei had founded.
As a matter of fact, the resistance groups had already lost more than half of their profound ships since the death of the Saintess Fang Zhenfei and the number of cultivators that had joined the Evil Cultivation was increasing very day.
Even Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue had lost contact with the profound ships that were led by Matriarch Han Yuchi and Zhao Songjin.
Diviner Mo Ming and his Mo Clan's profound ships were also unknown at this moment.
This included the others as well.
It was only Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue and some of the smaller allies that had turned up to aid the returning golden celestials.
Shui Xisi said with a heavy air, "This is my sister's cultivation sect. Ji Yuan, you shouldn't be the only one that is safeguarding this place. I'll join you as well."
Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "You have seen how terrifying these immortals are. They can wipe out the entire mountain if they wanted to…"
"I have finally made up my mind," Shui Xisi had suddenly looked woefully at Ji Yuan. "If they come, then it is all the best. I can then take my vengeance against them. Ji Yuan, this is my request."
Ji Yuan had never seen Shui Xisi so serious before and he nodded.
Little Princess smiled wryly, "I am stay here as well."
Ji Yuan said weakly, "They are hunting for you, Little Princes."
Little Princess smiled, "Precisely because the Evil Cultivation God is hunting for me then he won't destroy this place so easily."
Ji Yuan muttered, "It isn't like that Immortal Teng Haijian is willing to spare you just now when he uses his immortal profound art."
Little Princess smiled, "That is only because you are too strong for him to handle. Also, we are quite far away. He may destroy this place but great saintess like me may not really die from his immortal profound art."
Ji Yuan turned to look at the 4 maidens and the 50 protégés that had come with them before he nodded slowly, "I guess that I can't persuade the 4 of you. But at least we ought to send a secret message back to inform Xue Qianxue and the rest, right?"
.cοm
Hua Wuwu smiled, "That is for sure. But it may take a little longer as we need to mask our communications to prevent interceptions. I am thinking of using the profound energies of our profound ship to restore the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect's defensive arrays again."
Ji Yuan nodded, "There is no need to mask the communications. We want the whole Desolate Celestial Fraternity to know that we are here in this place. Xue Qianxue's side will be able to pick up our open communications in no time."
"That's right," Shui Xisi agreed with Ji Yuan. "Why mask our communications when we want them to attack us here. At the same time, this place can also become a symbol of the resistance."
Ji Yuan said, "That is my plan…"
All of a sudden, Shui Xisi had interrupted Ji Yuan. "I don't understand something."
"Yes," Ji Yuan asked.
Shui Xisi looked intently at Ji Yuan, "Are you really at the half-immortal 9th false realm? How come you are still have so much profound strength? I can't feel your inner spiritual sea weakening with my divine sense."
Ji Yuan had used so many profound arts and he was still looking strong.
Shui Xisi is the daughter of the Great Goddess Celestial Alice and she knows some of the forbidden immortal knowledge.
And she also knows a few miracle profound arts as well.
One such example is the Divine Exaltations.
She was actually planning to use it to neutralize Immortal Teng Haijian's Great Sword of the Heavens to protect the other maidens earlier but she did not have to use it.
Ji Yuan asked curiously, "False realm?"
Shui Xisi slowly nodded, "Although the false realm can gain you an immortal body but your spiritual boundaries will not increase and it will make ascending to the Immortal Realm extremely difficult. Therefore it is not advisable to advance to the false realm. Even I don't understand how you are able to defeat that Immortal Teng Haijian and even uses a true divinity profound art. Ji Yuan, don't lie to us. Are you dying soon? And this is just the golden reflection of your peak just before your cultivation core is shattered?"
"Ji Yuan, how much time do you have?" Little Princess was suddenly asking woefully.
Ji Yuan blinked his eyes: I am dying? But I don't feel anything at all.
