As Ji Yuan followed Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er to her villa, he noticed that the surroundings looked a little familiar. 

It was as though he had been here before. 

He began to mutter, "The surroundings look a little familiar…"

Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er giggled softly, "You have probably taken another route to the villa of Divine Consort Tang Manni. My villa estate is actually next to hers, on another hill."

JI Yuan: …

No wonder…

Does it mean that Tang Manni is also nearby?

Soon they had reached the villa of Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er. 

Like the villa of Divine Consort Tang Manni, her villa covered several acres of gardens and there were many female followers of hers in the vicinity who quickly greeted their divine consort as she passed them by. 

The number of female followers in her villa were not as many as Tang Manni though and was decent. 

Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er quickly said to them, "We are going to the guest hall of my villa. Send someone to bring Old Yang to me in the guest hall."

·ƈθm Afterwards, Ding Jie'Er brought Ji Yuan, Xiao Muhan, Chu Lixue, Sun Dingjun and the Goddess Destiny to the guest hall of her villa.

This guest hall was actually quite spacious and it could easily accommodate several hundred people and it looked more like a meeting room.

Ji Yuan was in a jovial mood today because he was going to see his old man today and he could even stand tall in front of him because he had banged his daughter Chu Lixue without him knowing. 

Chu Lixue on the other hand, shared none of Ji Yuan's enthusiasm and she was beginning to wonder if Ji Yuan was actually her old man's son while she was just an outsider.

As for Xiao Muhan, he was eager to show the White Sword Monarch that it was his strong determination to come to this trial that have broken his slave seal and he was trying to show off his cultivation foundation in the hope that the White Sword Monarch may give him a tip or two.

Sun Dingjun and Ding Jie'Er were both sitting together and chatting while waiting for Old Yang to turn up while the Goddess Destiny was sitting regally in the corner and not looking at anyone in particularly. 

The news that the Goddess Destiny was the Great Oracle has quickly spread in the villa and many of Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er female followers were all quite respectfully toward her and even showed a special attention to her spiritual drinks.

They were all hoping that the Great Oracle would suddenly look at them and to show a special favor to them by divining their destinies for them. 

  This caused the number of female followers to be more than a hundred and more than twice the number as many were just trying to show up so that the Great Oracle would take a look at them. 

All of a sudden, an old voice was heard along the passage, "So this Ji Yuan is finally here? He actually has the guts to come to this place!"

A female follower was heard correcting him, "Champion Old Yang, you ought to address him as the Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan. That is his noble title now. And also, he is also the personal guard of honor for our Goddess Ai Tina…"

Ji Yuan looked proud of himself as he inspected his toga to meet his old man. To have another person proclaiming his noble title was such a good feeling. 

But his jaws soon dropped when an unknown old man had suddenly entered the guest hall. 

Even Chu Lixue and Xiao Muhan were looking stunned because this unknown old man was not the White Sword Monarch at all.

This unknown old man with a short white beard had immediately spotted Ji Yuan and said coldly, "So you are that Ji Yuan? I've heard that you are really good with the sword. Do you dare to accept a challenge from me? Or are you afraid?"

Ji Yuan displayed a small frown, "You are not my old man. Why are you calling yourself Old Yang? Why are you impersonating as my master? So that you can lure me here to fight you?"

Ding Jie'Er was startled and she looked awkward: This Old Yang isn't a friend of Yuan Beluga?

She was not actually expecting this Old Yang to be a friend of Ji Yuan since this Old Yang had been cursing Ji Yuan daily. But Ji Yuan appeared to know this Old Yang and even looked excited to meet him. 

The unknown old man with the short white beard laughed hoarsely, "There are so many Old Yang in the world. I happen to be called Old Yang too. But if you want to know my name then it is Yang Batian!"

Ji Yuan smiled weakly to himself: Indeed, there are many Old Yang in the world…

Ji Yuan saw that this Yang Baitian had a black ring on his finger and he had probably known him when he had declared his name to Xi Huangdi just before he had entered the trial portal to this divine realm. 

Yang Batian said coldly, "I didn't expect a young upstart like yourself to claim the title of the Great Spiritas Hero. But do you dare to fight a peaked great saint like me? If you lose, then you have to give up your Great Spiritas Hero and your divine sword behind. If I lose then you may have my divine sword!"

Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er had suddenly spoken with a cold gaze at Yang Batian, "You are my champion. Whether you can duel or not, is not for you to say. As for Yuan Beluga's Great Spiritas Title, it is not for you to take away with just a challenge. The senate is the one that has voted for Yuan Beluga's Great Spiritas Hero title."

Yang Batian was suddenly frowning unhappily; it was because he was actually hoping to defeat Ji Yuan in front of his divine consort and scoring his 100 Trust Points.

Previously, he had actually tried to seduce Ding Jie'Er with his manly looks but had failed so he was hoping to fight Ji Yuan instead. 

In the Spirit Divine Realm, the men here mostly did not have any beards and the spiritas maidens here seemed to have a great disdain for any facial or bodily hairs.

He did a quick research and found out that this was a cultural thing as the original spiritas did not have any facial or bodily hair, and so did their maidens.

If a spiritas man has any facial or bodily then it only means that their human blood is strong and most of the spiritas maidens would then avoid the barbarian man as this is their social stigma. 

Yang Batian is not only a celestial but is also from the human race. For human and celestial is the same race. 

Yang Batian was not going to shave off his manly beard and shamed himself in front of his fellow celestials. Moreover, he was also a peaked great saint.

That was why he had thought of challenging Ji Yuan to earn the Trust Points from the Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er instead. After all, the spiritas respected their champions and they needed capable champions to contest in the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower.

Ji Yuan said nonchalantly, "Peak great saint vs. peak great saint. This will be a fair fight. Very well then, I shall accept your challenge. However, I am unwilling to gamble with my divine sword…"

Then he took out 10 immortal jades that were worth 1 billion high grade spirit stones, "We can wager with 10 immortal jades. Do you dare to accept my challenge then?"

Yang Batian had a solemn look all of a sudden; this was his entire cultivation fortune and in the Celestial Realm, he could even buy several divine swords with 10 immortal jades. But he could not back off now for he had issued the challenge or this would be awkward to his face.

This was supposed to be his challenge but all of a sudden, it had become Ji Yuan's challenge to him. 

However, he was still confident of beating this, Ji Yuan. It was because he had 8000 years of cultivation under his belt and he was an old freak.

"10 immortal jades, so shall it be!" He declared loudly.

This shocked almost everyone in the guest hall except for the Goddess Destiny who casually said, "Only 10 immortal jades? I've thought that it may be 100 times more instead."

When she had said that, Ji Yuan, Yang Batian, Ding Jie'Er, Chu Lixue, Xiao Muhan, Sun Dingjun and all the others all had a most awkward look on their faces; none of them have 1000 immortal jades and this was an unimaginable wealth for all of them.

Ji Yuan was rolling his eyes with a sheepish look as he thought: Throughout the years, you must have plenty of loot from all the thousands of genius cultivators that perish in your prison, am I right? It seems that the Great Beyond Goddess didn't make a prison for you but make you extremely wealthy instead...
