The Romantic Cultivator-Chapter 569 The Assault At Mt. Eons Firmament (1)

Continued from the events in Chapter 499.

The Eon Firmament Mountains;

The entire mountains were shaking violently because at this moment, hundreds of desolate beasts were crawling from the desolate mists to destroy the many formidable defense arrays of the Eon Firmament Mountains!

Thousands of cultivators were now standing within the defensive arrays of the Eons mountains and the banners of their celestial clans were flying defiantly in the face of incoming threat.

And they were all listening to an astonishing breathtaking great saintess who was now talking to them in the face of dangers.

And she was the Great Saintess Fang Zhenfei or Jiajia.

Jiajia was accompanied by Hua Wuwu, Hua Baiyue, 6 other saintesses and 2 grand elders of the Hundred Flower Divine Palace.

And on this day, she was the de facto leader of this alliance.

Saintess Fang Zhenfei or Jiajia were now saying to the numerous cultivators that had gathered to listen to her, "For three days now, the Evil Cultivation Palace has been attacking and tearing through the profound defenses of this place. We have now almost expended most of our high grade spirit stones and will no longer be able to use our array profound defense anymore to hold back our enemies…"

"But are you afraid?" She paused to ask.

The Diviner Mo Ming, his elders and thousands of cultivators from the Mo Clan were all shouting frantically, "NO! We are not afraid at all! We shall live and die together!"

This included several thousand other cultivators from the other clans such as the Celestial Orthodox Sect, Water Melody Palace, Hundred Flowers Divine Palace, Profound Heaven Manor, Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect and the Spirit Blue Moon Sect.

Fairy Ye Chengxi was holding Sky Forth; it was merely a heaven-step precious sword and not even a divine sword but it was a sword that her old master Ji Yuan had once used. Accompanying her was naturally Shangguan Yan. The Emperor Hall Sect was too weak to send any help so they were alone.

Zhao Songjin had actually given Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan a divine sword each but these two protégé sisters had rejected it.

The Profound Heaven Manor was led Sword Saintess Jian Yuluo and there were three thousand cultivators that were with her.

Her fatrher the Great Saint Jian Kang was at the Profound Heaven Manor and did not come. However he had sent his daughter, the Sword Saintess Jian Yuluo more than 300 golden celestials to defend this place. He had actually wanted to send more but many of the golden celestials from his celestial clan was actually still inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

Matriarch Moon Elder Ling Tianshui was leading the Spirit Blue Moon Sect.

Hua Wuwu and Hua Baiyue were actually leading the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect and the Hundred Flower Divine Palace but at this moment, they were standing next to their protégé mistress.

Shui Qingqing was naturally leading the Water Melody Palace as Palace Mistress. However, she seemed to lack experiences and was constantly asking her elders and protégés for help. The cultivators from the Water Melody Palace was actually all females.

Matriarch Sacred Maiden Han Yuchi and Right Protector Zhao Songjin on the other hand were leading the female cultivators from the Celestial Orthodox Sect.

Jiajia sighed softly as she displayed her spellbinding demeanor to say with great dignity to all the cultivators presented.

"It is most unfortunately that we have many orthodox and unorthodox celestial clans that are on the side of the Evil Cultivation Sect. Even a major orthodox clan like the Mystic Profound Pavilion has chosen to join the sides of the Evil Cultivation Palace."

"We did not expect that the Desolate Dragon God Longdi, the Evil Cultivation Master and the Sagess Alyssa will attack us from below the desolate mists where our array defenses are the weakest…"

"It is actually my Mo Clan's fault," Diviner Mo Ming sighed. "All these years, we are only guarding against the threats from the above and not the bottom."

Jiajia smiled nonchalantly, "It is all thanks to you that we have an advance warning too."

Then she began to sigh most melecholy, "It is my entire fault and I didn't realize this. In order to revive my Xiao Ruan, I have to use the Dream Trial and this is something that they have already calculated against me. So, when I am here, they have decided to launch their attacks to corner me."

Sword Saintess Jian Yuluo shook her head, "This isn't your fault. The entire Eon Firmament Mountains are isolated from the other mountains. The only way here is by flying mounts. If we have more mounts then we will have more cultivators that can come to defend this place."

Diviner Mo Ming was smiling bitterly as he looked at the translucent form of the gigantic Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, "This is actually our fault for being in a place so defensive. Alas, maybe today is the end of my Mo Clan."

Hua Wuwu could not resist a soft chide, "You are not the only celestial clans here."

Hua Baiyue was nodded angrily too, "I say that this so call Desolate Dragon God and the Evil Cultivation Palace is only so and so. If they are really so capable, it won't take them 3 days to destroy our defensive arrays."

Diviner Mo Ming bitterly said, "If it is the other major celestial clans, our defensive array can actually last for nearly a month…"

Jiajia flipped her sleeves as she looked up to the heavens where the translucent form of the gigantic Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth that was shaped like the Great God Pangu sitting on an equally gigantic mythical Xuanwu Tortoise was located. "I am just wondering where Ji Yuan is now. I wonder if he is well inside?"

Diviner Mo Ming was also sighing, "I've asked him to protect the Mo Clan before he has entered the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. But I have never expected that the Mo Clan that he is supposed to be protecting isn't inside but outside."

Although he was saying that, he was actually looking at the Saintess Fang Zhenfei; the two of them had pretended not to know each other in front of Ji Yuan. In fact, Saintess Fang Zhenfei had told him to lie to Ji Yuan so as to get him to join the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth which may be good for him. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

As for Saintess Fang Zhenfei, she needed to fight the Evil Cultivation Sect alone as Ji Yuan would not be able to help her much. Between romance and mission, she was forced to choose her mission.

Even though Jiajia had known Ji Yuan for 200 years but most of the time, she was not free to look for him or to plot against him. So she was always forcing herself to postpone her possible romance.

Han Yuchi weakly said, "This Ji Yuan is the only cultivator with an immortal divine sword. His sword is our only hope against the forces of evil."

She did not know that Ji Yuan actually had two saint-step divine swords now.

Zhao Songjin was nodding as well as she lowered her glances with heartfelt emotions, "I believe in him and I… don't ever wish to go back being a lackey of the Evil Cultivation Palace again."

There was a soft chuckle that had suddenly appeared; an extremely beautiful maiden in white had suddenly arrived and she was radiating the vicinity with her adorable smiles.

She was actually the Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue and following behind her was Qiu Xiuyu, an equally beautiful maiden with a stunning appearance like a fairy. In fact Qiu Xiuyu was also known as Fairy Qiu Xiuyu in the mortal realm and she was really very beautiful.

Maiden Qiu Xiuyu had claimed to be Ji Yuan's consort while he was in the mortal realm and at the very start Xue Qianxue actually did not believe in her. But now they were as close as sisters after spending plenty of time together. Moreover, Qiu Xiuyu was also helping Xue Qianxue to take care of her baby son for her.

Xue Qianxue was chuckling softly as she looked at everyone, "Please don't look at me like this even though I am one of the four peerless maidens in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. To be honest, I have already more or less recovered and I can fight as good as anyone here."

Then she winked at Han Yuchi and Zhao Songjin, "This great saintess here who is also the Sacred Maiden of the Celestial Orthodox Clan and kin of the Mo Clan wishes to fight just like everyone here. I can't allow my fellow cultivators to fight while I rest, don't you agree?"

Han Yuchi was startled, "Qianxue, you sure you don't want to recuperate more? You have just only given birth."

Xue Qianxue chuckled as she rolled her expressive golden eyes, "Um, nope! I'm the only one in the Celestial Orthodox Clan that has mastered the Sacred Battle Maiden to the 9th profound rank. So naturally I am stronger than most of you here. Moreover I am also a great saintess with the purple lightning tribulation. So how can I idle here?"

Han Yuchi sighed softly as she took a guilty look at Xue Qianxue, "Alright then. If you are unwell, please tell me and I will ask our cultivators to cover you…"

At the same time, she was also discreetly looking at her other daughter Shui Qingqing who had annocent aura around her. But today, she was also forced to fight for the Water Melody Palace because her matriarch was inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

Jiajia did not say anything because she knew that it was impossible to change Xue Qianxue's mind and right now, they were all fighting for their own survival.

Qiu Xiuyu took a quiet look at Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan before she walked to Jiajia.

While she was here with Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan, she was quite shocked to learn that her grand patriarch Li Ye was merely an elder in the Emperor Hall Sect and that he already got someone else in mind. As for Ji Yuan, he was actually Li Ye's sect leader and he was also more renowned than Li Ye. It was no wonder why Ji Yuan had refused to bow down to Li Ye.

Qiu Xiuyu carried a golden robe that Ji Yuan had given to her and she had walked up to Jiajia to say, "This is for your protection in battle. I don't need it. I am too weak anyway."

Jiajia smiled and was touched by her gesture; she held onto her hand and said gently, "Please keep this golden robe for yourself. I've better ones. In fact, I am full of profound treasures. Please take good care of Ji Yuan's child in your belly instead..."
