The Romantic Cultivator



Xia Jiajia had already raised her broken divine sword high up when she had heard the Great Demon God Hong Meng said to her, "Today I shall grant you this special privilege of making your first move against me…"

A powerful outburst of profound life force energies began to flow through her broken divine sword to reform into a sword of profound power. 

The Great Demon God Hong Meng hummed coldly, "Life force energies sword? You will only be sapping away your life force away and this amount of profound power is not enough to hurt me. It seems that your reserve of inner spiritual sea is already spent. But I applaud your tenacity. Come and show me your first move!"

Xia Jiajia only had enough strength for two major moves and she was going to take her chance to hurt the Great Demon God.

She inhaled slowly as her Xuanfeng spirit animus exploded into a bright golden animus to lend her the profound strength to burn her life force as she mustered the sanctorum power of her broken divine sword into a blue streak of profound energies the Hundred Flower Divine Strike.

A power wave of terrifying profound power immediately exploded from her broken sword into a point-blank straight line toward the Great Demon God, rendering evasion impossible.

This straight line of concentrated profound power was massive and no less than dangerous than her blue spirit animus which she was now incapable of displaying since this was her life force energies. 

It exploded with a brilliant streak onto the Great Demon God directly but all of a sudden, this straight line of profound power had swayed from its path and was deflected with the mere right hand of the Great Demon God and it soon dissipated into nothingness up to the heavens!

Xia Jiajia was startled; it was because she did not even as much as dent the Great Demon God and the Great Demon God was able to deflect her vast profound energies with his mere hand!

She had suddenly realized that the disparity between the Great Demon God and her was indeed vast and moreover her opponent was supposed to be injured and restricted in the Celestial Realm…

The Great Demon God hummed coldly, "You can't hurt me, much less kill me with this. Is this really your best profound technique?"

Then he smirked, "I believe that this is my turn now…"

And immediately he had raised two profound energy ball from each of his hands to hurl at Xia Jiajia.

ƥαṇdαηθνε| Xia Jiajia was startled that the Great Demon God could move again in such a short notice after deflecting her strongest profound technique that she had developed into the sanctorum power of her celestial-step divine sword. 

She mustered her remaining profound strength as she quickly evaded the two profound energy balls which exploded in a big radius near her; if it is just an ordinary saint then this profound attack would have burnt all his profound animus and fatally injuring him and the second profound energy ball would then kill him.

Because the explosion radius was huge, she had to raise her divine sword to defend herself from the profound blast and causing her already faltering profound strength to further sapped away. 

The Great Demon God was suddenly smiling coldly, "I wonder how long you can evade my attacks…"

All of a sudden, he had hurled one profound energy ball after another, in quick succession and there was suddenly more than a dozen of these profound energy balls that were now flying toward Xia Jiajia.

Xia Jiajia was completely startled as the profound energy balls began to form a storm of profound energy balls that were homing toward her as it exploded around her or directly struck her.

This caused Xia Jiajia to be thrown back when she was struck and her Xuanfeng profound animus was even completely burnt away by the fierce profound energies and in the next moment, she was lying flat on the ground and sundered by the profound energies. 

Most of the profound ball energies were actually hurled off target on purpose by the Great Demon God; it was because he did not want to kill Saintess Fang Zhenfei so quickly and he knows that she was now incapable of withstanding his further profound attacks.

Xia Jiajia was in tears as she lay motionless and without any profound strength to even move her feeble broken body. 

She was weeping hot silent tears not because of her forthcoming woeful fate but because she did not have the chance to say her farewell to Ji Yuan…

And many more things that she had actually wanted to tell him…

How she had once chanced upon his shaven portrait in the auction house and her icy heart was moved by his beautiful looks…

She was an icy maiden that had never thought of looking for a cultivation partner one day and she had found most of the celestial males were too couth and arrogant. 

She did not want anyone to know that she was the Sacred Saintess Sect Leader of the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect or the mysterious Old Master of the Hundred Flower Divine Palace. 

All the celestial males in the Celestial Realm were beneath her because she was the noble princess of the celestial race and she was the daughter of the Great Goddess Celestial Alice, a former divine ruler of the Ninth Heavens, the immortal realm of the celestial race. 

Her destiny lies in the Ninth Heavens Immortal Realm and not in the Celestial Realm. 

She knows more about the mysterious Ninth Heavens than any of the celestials who are all trying to make their ascension to the immortal realm above; they don't even know the name of the immortal realm above that they are ascending to. To them, it is just the Immortal Realm or the Immortal Divine Realm.

Many of them did not even know about the existence of the other middle heavenly realms that are similar to the Celestial Realm or the other immortal divine realms until they gained the knowledge of these realms in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

However, the mystic laws of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth prevented the celestials that 'know' about the other different heavenly and immortal realms from telling anyone about their knowledge. They can only experience the lower mortal realms and the other heavenly realms through the trials of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. 

As for the immortal realms, they can only gain knowledge of it but not visit it because the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth could not send them before their immortal ascension.

But at this moment, Xia Jiajia was not thinking about her fallen destiny but a missed opportunity to be with Ji Yuan…

This Ji Yuan who is renowned more as a Great Poet than his Sword Saint identity. 

Also, he is an arrogant young master too and have many bad vices like drinking, swearing loudly and was even uncouth. 

He is just like any of the typical golden celestials.

What is more, he is actually quite proud of his beautiful beard just like the other bearded cultivators in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, something that she did not find fancy with.

He is just too typical…

And moreover, his cultivation sucks big time, his soul sea is too impure and he is also too poor. 

She really did not know whether to laugh or cry when she had learnt that Ji Yuan had ended up owing the Mo Clan 1 billion high grade spirit stones for entering the Dream Trial.

He was actually forced to enter the Dream Trial by Xue Qianxue so that he could have a fighting chance against the Old Master of the Hundred Flower Divine Palace to cleanse his impure soul sea; he ended up passing the Dream Trial with an impossible flying color result and shocking the Mo Clan.

Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue was actually thinking of screwing her own patriarch Mo Clan and to trick the Mo Clan into paying 1 billion high grade spirit stones to activate the Dream Trial, just to give Ji Yuan a fighting chance. 

She could never imagine that she would end up helping Ji Yuan to be in a 1 billion high grade spirit stones or 1000 spirit jade stones huge debt. 

Either Xue Qianxue or Ji Yuan, had expected that the 'Old Master' of the Hundred Flower Divine Palace would actually be Xia Jiaqing aka Xia Jiajia herself and that she did not have the intention of killing Ji Yuan at all. 

It was because Xia Jiajia had wanted to test Ji Yuan to see if he was worthy for her or not. And to see if he was willing to risk his untapped long celestial life for 'Xia Jiaqing'. 

She had to admit that she was indeed quite moved in her heart when Ji Yuan had accepted her duel and had even dared to go to the Lofty World End Peak for his duel.

She had actually purposely given him many chances to run away from this duel but he still turned up despite knowing that he did not stand a chance against a peaked great saint.

Ji Yuan was actually preparing to die to save everyone at the Five Heavens Peak. 

Since then, her icy heart had completely melted in front of Ji Yuan but this was something that she did not want to tell him because if he knows, he would be boastful to no ends. 

It was because she had actually studied him for almost 200 years and she knows him better than he knows himself.

She had purchased Ji Yuan's beardless portrait in the auction house 200 years ago due to impulse. But the more she looked at this beardless portrait, the more unsettled her icy heart was. 

Therefore, after some time, she wanted to play a prank on Ji Yuan and to have a chance to talk to him in person. 

Another reason why she had wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Ji Yuan was because he was famously a bachelor that liked to talk bad about the renown maidens in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity and it was no wonder that many in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity had thought that he was actually a gay.

That was why she had arranged for Ling Feiyue to be disguised as a 'man' to make Ji Yuan feel comfortable.

To her startled surprise, he had actually touched her butt on their very first meeting (See Chapter 12).

This was actually not the most startling to her; it was the fact that she could not stop his hand from touching her butt that startled her the most; she was shocked that Ji Yuan's reflexes were so astonishing startling that he was unlike any of the golden celestials that she had previously fought against. 

She had recalled that day…

He had chuckled to her, "Isn't this a little too soon? We have just met. This isn't too romantic, don't you think so? But if that is what you want, then…"

She was startled as she caught his hand that was on her butt, "You! What are you doing?"

Ji Yuan was startled too as he stammered, "I am just trying to warm us up."

She began to smile weakly as she pushed his hand away, "It isn't what you think it is."

Ji Yuan was gasping as he took a step back, "You are attached to someone already?"

She had chuckled softly, "I'm not. In fact, you are just my type."

But actually, her hidden thought that day was, "This Ji Yuan is not a gay?!"

How did all her reports about him were all wrong? 

In her reports, he would refuse to touch any maidens or associate with any other maidens, fleeing from them as though he was seeing them as scary ghosts.

She did not know that if Ji Yuan was here today, he would tell her that seeing her for the very first had actually ignited something in him. 

When Ji Yuan first caught sight of Xia Jiajia, he had already decided that he had to take her as his cultivation partner and that was why he was willing to give her his precious sword, his sect heritage treasure to her as a betrothal gift.

He could not explain why he had a sudden feeling for Xia Jiajia after three failed relationships in the past and that was why he was always in the company of his drinking brothers like Xiao Muhan and Guo Taiming.

Xia Jiajia had suddenly many things more to tell to Ji Yuan…

But she could not because he was not with her and her hot tears wetted her face, sending her to tremble and giving her broken body some life…

She had suddenly realized at that time the immerse pressure that Ji Yuan had to face when he had to fight her as the 'Old Master'. It was especially so when Mo Ming the Diviner had told Ji Yuan before and after his experiences in the Dream Trial that he would not be able to win his hopeless duel.

And his maidens were cursing him at the Lofty World End Peak:

"He is stupid!"

"Really an idiot!"

"Why did we have to come here with him in the first place?"

"Who cares about the destruction of the Five Heavens Peaks?"

"What is martial honor?"

"He already knows Diviner Mo Ming's prophecy and yet he is so foolhardy to come…"

But still, Ji Yuan did not give up his fighting spirit as he confronted the 'Old Master'.
