Chapter 1259 A Deadly Secret (2)
?The Holy Maiden Ling Ya sighed softly before she said slowly, "The true master of our underworld domain is the Great Desolate Wyrm. All desolate and human cultivators are actually under the control of the Great Desolate Wyrm. The reason why I am the holy maiden of the Ivy League Sect is also because it is my secret and sacred duty to nurture the Poison Ivy Veins for the Great Desolate Wyrm. Only my blood and Ling Shan's blood will be able to nurture the Poison Ivy Veins…"
Then she heaved a soft sigh, "As for the reason why the desolate cultivators and the human cultivators are able to co-exist for such a long time in this underworld domain, it is because we are the vassals of this Great Desolate Wyrm. As for the Demoness Empress An Xuanji, she is also a vassal of this Great Desolate Wyrm…"
"The very act of attacking the Ivy League Sect will quickly bring upon the wrath of our true master the Great Desolate Wyrm. That is why the Holy Maiden Ling Shan is not afraid of the Demoness Empress An Xuanji or any of the desolate cultivators."
Ji Yuan asked curiously, "This Poison Ivy Veins, what is it exactly? Why does the Great Desolate Wyrm needs the two of you to nurture it?"
The Holy Maiden Ling Ya shook her head, "This I do not know. I only know that we have to nurture it for the Great Desolate Wyrm and for that, the Great Desolate Wyrm will protect the human cultivators from the desolate cultivators."
"Some time ago, the now dead Demon Emperor An Taiji had taken the Poison Ivy Veins from me, with the help of my half-sister Ling Shan so as to study the Poison Ivy Veins…"
Ling Ya sighed heavily, "I didn't expect for her to conspire with the Demon Emperor An Taiji to steal the Ivy Poison Veins from my hands."
"Later, it is exactly what you have known. Ling Shan had killed the Demon Emperor An Taiji and taken back the Ivy Poison Veins from him. As the holy maiden of the Great Desolate Wyrm, she too has the ability to absorb the Poison Ivy Veins and as long as she did not surrender it, there is nothing the Demoness Empress An Xuanji can do about it. It is because the Poison Ivy Veins will disappear if she is killed. And the Demoness Empress An Xuanji did not want to risk the wrath of the Great Desolate Wyrm."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLing Ya said further, "Every 100 years, the holy maidens of the Ivy League Sect will have to surrender the nurtured Poison Ivy Veins to the Great Desolate Wyrm and then a new Poison Ivy Veins will be given to us to nurture again. And the time for the return is near…"
She sighed, "I fear that Ling Shan may have plans of her own and she will not surrender the Poison Ivy Veins so readily."
Ji Yuan sighed softly, "I see now. So she is only pretending to be a vulnerable maiden in front of me and Sisi. She is actually capable of fighting off the Demoness Empress An Xuanji all by herself."
He had suddenly remembered that Ling Ya had told him that this Right Holy Maiden Ling Shan was actually at the 8th half-immortal realm."
Ling Ya said, "Not exactly. The Demoness An Xuanji is actually strong enough to handle her even though she is only at the peaked 7th cultivation realm. The bloodlines of the desolate cultivators give them plenty of advantages if they are able to use it. But of course, not all desolate cultivators will have such powerful bloodlines to fight their cultivation realm. But the bloodline of this Demoness An Xuanji is really strong."
Ji Yuan nodded slowly.
He was forced to agree with her; in his earlier fight with the Demoness Empress An Xuanji, he had indeed found her to be stronger than most of the desolate cultivators. This included the Demonic Great Saint On-Wa.
Shui Xisi was now frowning, "I still find it hard to believe. Ling Shan looks like a good maiden to me."
Ji Yuan grinned to her, "Well, let me tell me what I've seen earlier and how she intends to use your face for her evil schemes."
Then he began to reveal to the 5 maidens including the Right Holy Maiden Ling Ya how he had stumbled onto her dual cultivating with the elders of the Ivy League Sect and what he had seen.
Shui Xisi was astonished, "You mean all these elders are her dual cultivation living cauldrons?"
Xue Qianxue began to curse softly, "It seems that these evil cultivators are more rampant down here than the Evil Cultivation Palace."
Even Ling Feiyue was sighing softly, "The world below the Celestial Realm are actually meant for the evil cultivators. Over time, they have become even more depraved."
The Left Holy Maiden Li Ya was startled, "I can't believe it. She is the holy maiden of the Ivy League Sect. I can't believe that she needs to dual cultivate to increase her cultivation."
But she was forced to admit to Ji Yuan and to the other 5 maidens, "But you are right. Dual cultivation is pretty common here. Even the desolate and human cultivators regularly engaged in multiple dual cultivation here."
Ji Yuan curiously asked, "You say that this domain is actually controlled by the Great Desolate Wyrm. Exactly how many domains are there in the desolate underworld?"
The Left Holy Maiden Li Ya said, "I don't know exactly how many. There should be at least 30 or even 100. There are many parts of the desolate underworld that remain unexplored and the grounds here constantly shifting due to seismic activities. But in this domain, the will of the Great Desolate Wyrm is absolute."
Ji Yuan slowly nodded, "This desolate monster must be an extremely powerful one in order to be able to exert such a powerful influence even over the powerful desolate cultivators."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Left Holy Maiden Li Ya said weakly, "I have heard that the powerful desolate monsters are also the lords of the other domains…"
Then she looked at Ji Yuan to say, "Savior Ji Yuan, it is wiser for you not to provoke such a powerful profound beast. They are the titans of our domain and have many powerful desolate beasts under their commands. You won't be able to fight them. None of you will be able to."
Ji Yuan laughed, "Well, let's see first. Hahaha…"
Shui Xisi said to Ji Yuan as she interrupted him, "These profound beasts are probably epic class profound beasts. Not even the immortal gods will dare to provoke them easily."
Ji Yuan was startled, "Epic class profound beasts?! The most powerful class of the profound beasts?"
He had never actually seen one before.
Shui Xisi nodded, "They are extremely powerful. Trust me, you are just a fly to them. Don't even think of checking them out and don't say that I didn't warn you."
Ji Yuan: …
He was actually thinking of bagging the record of seeing one himself. Of course, he was not foolish enough to fight one but he was hoping to see one before he runs away.
Just as Ji Yuan was about to say something more, the Goddess Destiny had suddenly said. "A large number of cultivators are coming this way. We should hide."
Ji Yuan was startled, "Didn't you say that we should be quite safe in this place?"
The Goddess Destiny smiled, "They are not the cultivators from the Ivy League Sect. Rather, they are desolate cultivators. I suspect that the reason why they are here is precisely they have thought that this island is deserted. Maybe they are planning to raid the Ivy League Sect."
Ji Yuan frowned, "This makes a little sense. Well, let's hide first and see if they are really after us or not."
