The Romantic Cultivator



Ding Xiaoxiao had a complex look when she saw Ji Yuan hurried away with Xuan Qiaoqiao. 

It was not because she was envious of Xuan Qiaoqiao but she was thinking how Ji Yuan had defeated her twice. 

The first time was naturally their duel; in her excitement to defeat Ji Yuan, she had used her 8th cultivation realm level to defeat Ji Yuan who was only at the 7th cultivation realm. Although she had actually won the duel because of this but she was not happy about this victory as she had wanted to lower her cultivation realm to match Ji Yuan in order to have a fair and worthy fight.

One must know that Ding Xiaoxiao was almost unmatched with the sword and even in this Dark Abyssal Realm where her profound strength was restricted due to the less rich desolate aura here, she could still kill most of the abyssals that were in this red forest.

The second time that Ji Yuan had won over her was naturally earlier when they had played a guessing game of card. While this may seem like an ordinary guessing card game but the stake was high. 

She had originally intended to ask Ji Yuan for a rematch now that he was grown stronger, if he were to lose to her, of course.

However, he had won and she had even misunderstood his intentions. And he had even rescued her from an awkward situation.

But no matter what was on stake her, Ding Xiaoxiao was now seeing Ji Yuan in a different light now and she sworn in her heart to repay Ji Yuan this special favor. 

She was never someone that owes anyone a favor. 

The reason why she was with Guo Taiming, Shen Qin and Li Ye were because they had helped her to quickly reach the final level of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and had even helped her to overcome the difficult cultivation examination on the 6th level in order to access the final trial area. 

Because of that, she was protecting them until the end of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. 

Guo Taiming, Shen Qin and Li Ye simply had no idea how many times they should have died without her secret aid.

The Celestial Realm.

The Desolate Celestial Fraternity.

A profound ship of 300 cultivators was now approaching the Five Heavens Peak. 

Saint Cao Anhuan was in charge of this profound ship. 

In this ship were 3 Saints, 10 6th realm cultivators, 30 5th realm cultivators and the rest were cultivators that were below the 5th realm cultivators. 

All of them used to be orthodox cultivators that had defected to the Evil Cultivation Palace and they had received the 'benefits' of joining the Evil Cultivation Palace.

The benefits were of course, the maidens and they could have their picks once the Evil Cultivation Palace had their fun with them; that is, if they are alive of course.

Today Saint Cao Anhuan and the other two saints who were vice-captain of this profound ship were in charge of looking for the Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue and the rest of the rebels that were still fighting against the Evil Cultivation Palace. 

Saint Nu Erbang grumbled unhappily, "This region is too poor. They won't be here at all."

Saint Kim Suyang agreed, "Just our profound ship alone is equaled to all the puny celestial sects in this poor region. This place is not even worth sacking to refuel our profound ship. In fact, we have to folk out the spirit stones for ourselves for this stupid trip."

Saint Cao Anhuan said coldly, "Remember who our new master is now and he is the Evil Cultivation God. Since it is a command given by the Evil Cultivation Palace, we ought to check this place out."

Indeed, the profound ship was equipped with the latest state of art profound scanner that could pick up the presence of profound energies for 100 miles around. 

However what their profound scanner could pick up was quite miserable to look at; this region was too poor and even the broken down buildings of the celestial sects in this place were not giving off any profound signatures.

Saint Nu Erbang angrily said, "I can't believe that there are actually thousands of cultivators in this damn region. Can you see how shitty their celestial sects' defensive arrays are that their defensive arrays are not even giving out the standard level of our region. the How come this place isn't just a mortal region yet?!"

Saint Kim Suyang hummed coldly, "Even the spiritual veins of these mountains are too pathetic. They won't be hiding in this place."

"Don't be too hasty to conclude yet." Saint Cao Anhuan warned them solemnly. "This poor region happens to be home region of the Sword Saint Ji Yuan."

There was a cold smirk from Saint Kim Suyang, "I've heard that he isn't in his home region most of the time. Maybe that is why he could attain as a Sword Saint."

"Sword Saint?" Saint Nu Erbang was laughing aloud. "That is only because the others respect his sword skill at the lower cultivation level only. When a cultivator reaches the 6th and the 7th cultivation level, his sword skills are just fanciful play. I can just stand there and let him attack me and he won't even be able to hurt me. Hahahaha…"

"And I have heard that he is merely only a saint cultivator and not even a great saint." Saint Kim Suyang laughed too.

They naturally did not know that Ji Yuan is now a Great Saint and also a super cultivator now too. But even if he is merely a saint, Ji Yuan could still be able to find his own way to trash them.

Saint Cao Anhuan ignored their remarks and said, "If Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue's profound ship is here, we will still be able to detect it even if they drain the profound energies from their profound ship. It is because it is difficult to get rid of the residue profound energies and it will stay there even for 100 years…"

"Therefore we want to make sure that our profound ship passes through all the desolate mists in this region. Once we have done so, we can go back."

Then he said with a thoughtful look, "The most powerful celestial sect in this region is the Emperor Hall Sect. It is located in the central mountainous region of the Five Heavens Peak. So we want to make sure that the vicinity around the Emperor Hall Sect is being searched more thoroughly."

Saint Kim Suyang was smiling wryly all of a sudden, "I have a good suggestion. I have heard that Fairy Ye Chengxi is one of the four great beauties of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. And even her protégé sister Shangguan Yan is also a great beauty. Why don't we attack the Emperor Hall Sect to seize them for ourselves? After we have our fun with them then we can present them to the Evil Cultivation Palace. In this way, we may even get a praise or a reward from the Evil Cultivation Palace."

"That is a good idea!" Saint Nu Erbang gave an excited shout. "Why didn't I think of that? Let's do that!"

Although Saint Cao Anhuan was frowning but he was forced to admit, "This is actually a good idea. We can't have a wasted trip here. Even if we can't find the Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue in this region, at least we have something to answer for our failures…"

Then he raised his voice a little, "Let's do it then!"

As he delightfully announced this, all of a sudden there was a spatial disturbance from the mountains below that rocked their profound ship.

As the three saints took a look at the mountains on the deck of their profound ship, they were startled to see that a golden profound circle was seen forming at the mountains. 

All of a sudden, a powerful energy was forming around the magic circle.

The 3 saints were shocked when their divine sense could even feel the powerful animus of this profound energy that was being formed from so far away. "What is this energy... true divinity profound energy?" 

But before they know it, a long beam of powerful profound energies had been fired from this golden profound circle and had completely washed over them, completing annihilating the entire profound ship!

The entire profound ship was completely destroyed, including all the cultivators that were onboard as it was caught up in the vast energies arrays of this long beam of profound energies! 

It was actually Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei that had displayed the Myriad Heaven Sundering Magic Circle.

She was actually quite startled by the powerful display of this divine profound circle that was taught to her by the Great Beyond Goddess.

This was actually the first time that she had used it and she had used it because she had suggested to the maidens that were with her that it may worth a try rather than boarding their profound ships to fight against this scout ship.

Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue, Shangguan Yan, Fairy Ye Chengxi, Sword Saintess Yuluo, Shui Qingqing, Ling Tianshui, Fairy Qiu Xiuyu, Hua Wuwu and Hua Baiyue who were with Xu Yufei were all astonished and stunned; they could not believe that a mere magic circle could actually bypass the profound shield of a medium size profound ship.

Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue blinked her lovely eyes and looked at Xu Yifei with a dovely smile, "I can't believe this but you've actually did it. This is really an outer world profound art."

The other maidens were also smiling as they happily surrounded an exhausted Xu Yifei. 

The reason why Xu Yifei was exhausted because this divine profound circle snapped too much of profound strength and she would not be able to use the Myriad Heaven Sundering Magic Circle until she could regain her exhausted profound strength. 

Hua Wuwu was bleary as she took a look at Xu Yifei, "With you around, we have a chance to avenge my mistress now."

She was naturally referring to her protégé mistress the Saintess Fang Zhenfei aka Xia Jiajia. 

Hua Baiyue was also nodding with great delight, "Maybe we can even bring down the Evil Cultivation God too."

Xu Yifei smiled at Hua Wuwu and Hua Baiyue; somehow she seemed to have a great affinity with these two sisters here and they had got along quite well over the past few days. 

"Your protégé mistress is a great heroine who sacrifices herself to fight against the evil oppression here. I am sure that the Great Beyond Goddess has sent me here to help you."

In just a few days, a kind and gentle Xu Yifei has become the spiritual leader of this group of maidens as she taught them her spirit cultivation. 

Also, she is also the strongest cultivator in this group. 

Xue Qianxue and the other maidens simply could not believe how Ji Yuan could have made such a beautiful and powerful maiden to leave her own world to arrive at the Celestial Realm, just to help everyone.
