The Big Confrontation (3)

These five golden celestials were all the elders or leaders of the various celestial clans that had come to confront the Emperor Hall Sect.

And now they were all staring coldly at Yuan Ji.

"Celestial Tie Quan from Golden Lotus Sect!"

"Celestial Huo Tianyun from the East Heaven Horizon Sect!"

"Celestial Mei Jianwang from the Five Venoms Clan!"

"Supremacy Guo Taiming from the White Blossom Peak!"

"Supremacy Chen Kun from the Flying Crane Pavilion!"

Yuan Ji knew that these five golden celestials were not going to be handled easily. It was because one of the them was even an expert in using poisons and he was Celestial Mei Jianwang from the Five Venoms Clan.

Moreover, there were also two sixth realm supremacies as well.

Even Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan were looking a little fearful for him.

Yuan Ji had now regained his profound strength to the fifth realm. He could still manage with the three fifth realm golden celestials but it would be a different matter with the other two sixth realm supremacies.

It was because the other two sixth realm supremacies had the stronger profound strength and they had all attained the divine state of the spirit level. They were a totally different nut to crack.

And he did not have unlimited profound strength to fight them one by one either.

Right now, he was using his sword on his slower left hand. He could always switch his sword to his faster right hand to gain a surprise advantage but it would not be too effective against the two sixth realm supremacies. He may have his own trump card but he could not rule out that they may have their own trump cards too.

Also, the very reason why he was now using his left hand was because he did not want to reveal his sword skills to Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan. He had fallen in love with them now and he dreaded the day that they would know his true identity.

For now, he would be Yuan Ji and not Ji Yuan the Sword Saint.

Unknown to him, Fairy Ye Chengxi knew of his left hand sword skills a long time ago. She was always particular attentive to her old master. There were a few times that she had secretly observed that he was practicing a new sword art with his left hand and he had only practiced it when no one was around.

Fairy Chengxi knew that he had been secretly training his left hand to be his new secret trump card for a long time.

Her old master had always told her, "Even if I am your old master, you can't share with me all your secret trump cards. Nowadays you can't even trust your own master or personal protégés."

Suddenly Yuan Ji and all five of the golden celestials were now staring at one another.

"What are they doing?"

"Why are they just standing there and doing nothing?"

"They are staring at each other?"

"What do you juniors know?"

"Can you see their sword intentions that are between them? They are actually fighting in their spirit forms now! This is the way the top experts fight!"

"But I really do not see anything at all…"

"That is because your cultivation level is too low…"

"I really don't see anything..."

"Same here..."

"I feel that that they are just staring at each other..."

After staring at each other with their big and small eyes for quite some time, finally Yuan Ji was the first to break the silence as he smiled coldly to the five golden celestials, "Good! You are all here. So which of you will fight me first?"

The five celestials were now all looking awkwardly at one another.

This was a very good question.

Supremacy Guo Taiming said, "I am a golden supremacy. If I make a move first then the heroes of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity may mock at me for bullying a cultivation junior."

Supremacy Chen Kun stroked his beard, "I totally agree with Supremacy Guo here. Why don't we let the rest make a move first?"

Celestial Mei Jianwang smiled, "My specialty is poisons. This is the way I always fight. I should not be using any poisons on a cultivation junior, am I right?"

Celestial Huo Tianyun were now looking at Celestial Tie Quan, "Out of respect for your Golden Lotus Sect, I should at least let you make the first move?"

Celestial Tie Quan laughed heartily, "Oh no, I insist on letting Brother Tianyun have the first move instead."

"No, after you."

Yuan Ji frowned, "Arguing is just a waste of time. Why don't the five of you select the strongest one among you to have a go at me first? In this way, the heroes of the fraternity will not mock at you for bullying a junior like me."

"That is a good idea." Celestial Huo Tianyun, Celestial Mei Jianwang and Celestial Tie Quan were now looking at the two golden supremacies.

Supremacy Chen Kun and Supremacy Guo Taiming were now looking awkwardly at each other, "This…"

All of a sudden Supremacy Chen Kun stared at Yuan Ji and said, "It is impossible that you are just a fourth realm cultivator. Your profound strength is clearly above them earlier. Why don't you state your true cultivation realm to us instead?"

Even Supremacy Guo Taiming was nodding.

Yuan Ji knew that he would not be able to hide his true profound strength from them as they had already observed his strength earlier. They were after all sixth realm cultivators that could use their divine sense to gauge the profound strength of their opponents' attacks.

With a great shout, Yuan Ji dispelled the mystic profound art that he had used to suppress his cultivation realm and revealed his golden eyes once more, startling everyone.

"Palace Master Yuan Ji is actually a golden celestial?!"

"He is actually a golden celestial?!"

All of a sudden the defeated opponents earlier were all laughing, "See! I got defeated because only because he had hidden his cultivation strength. This is not disgraceful at all."

The three earlier defeated opponents had finally found a face saving measure now and were largely relieved.

Even Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan were startled.

Fairy Ye Chengxi was perplexed, "I've thought that old master has suffered a cultivation reversal? He is able to regain his golden celestial body?"

Shangguan Yan was really delighted as she clenched her hands close to her bosoms as she said silently, "He is actually a golden celestial...I am not wrong in him…"

Yuan Ji had never lost his golden celestial body. He was only a seventh realm saint that had lost his profound strength temporary. His breakthrough was actually a great success. But because he was eager to exit his cultivation retreat so that he could fulfill his promise with Xia Jiajia on their hundred year waiting pledge, he did not wait for his profound strength to recover first and had ended his cultivation retreat early.

However his breakthrough was not totally without any hitch; he had lost his beautiful beard in the outcome.

All five golden celestials were now thinking, "Luckily we did not challenge him first."

The reason why they were all hesitating was because they were golden celestials and had a lofty status in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. All their little victories and losses would be recorded in the celestial history. They could not afford to lose their faces and reputations!

Moreover they were also aware that Elder Sui from the Mystic Eye Sect was here today and he would tell the entire fraternity about it if they happen to lose their faces. Then they would be a great laughing stock in the eyes of everyone.
