The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan said awkwardly to Li Yifen, “Actually I am just a lowly human slave and I don’t know the reason why the Inner Sanctuary has opened for me…”

But this was a lie.

Ji Yuan guessed that this may have to do with his previous reincarnation as the True Devil God and he was actually quite curiously about this shrine.

He was also doubtful that the ‘golden body’ of the True Devil God may not be the real thing here because it should not be here in the first place.

But nevertheless, he was really curious to see what was inside.

He merely said, “You don’t mind that I take a look inside?”

Li Yifen smiled, “If this is your fate to be welcomed by the Inner Sanctuary then it isn’t right for me to stop you from entering our Inner Sanctuary. But you can allow us to follow you?”

She has actually never been inside the Inner Sanctuary before even though she is a Cardinal. Therefore, she was quite curious to know what was inside the Inner Sanctuary. 

The previous Cardinal Harpy had merely whispered to her that the Sanctuary of the Forbidden was a tomb and shrine to the True Devil God. It was forbidden to tell anyone about this and could only be whispered.

Another reason why it was forbidden to mention the name of the True Devil God was that there was a myth that the True Devil God had once been a destroyer of the immortal great abyssals in the Great Abyssal Realm. And that was why the name of the True Devil God must never be mentioned by any of the abyssal races.

And the Ancient Race considered itself as an abyssal race even though they looked so dissimilar to most of the abyssal races. 

But no one doubted that the Ancient Race is an abyssal race because the Ancient Race also cultivates the infernal energies and they are an extremely ancient abyssal race that once dominated the abyssal worlds. 

Li Yifen warned Jun Qianfeng, “Walk behind Holy Harpy 4444 and let him walked in front first. We don’t know how formidable the immortal arrays and traps are in this place.”

Jun Qianfeng unhappily nodded but she could not resist a cold snide to Ji Yuan, “Why don’t you hurry up?”

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, “Thanks for using me as a shield.”

With that Ji Yuan began to walk in front while Jun Qianfeng and Li Yifen walked cautiously behind him.

When Ji Yuan had walked along the carpet of soft lights on the ground to the imposing giant iron gate that was in front of him, he could hear the loud crackling mechanic sounds of the imposing iron gate as it swung opened slowly.

This imposing iron gate was more than 50m in height! 

Beyond him, there were rows of towering gigantic profound god-beasts of all kinds, with some even reaching 30m in height. 

Ji Yuan did not recognize most of the god-beasts though but he continued to walk quietly along this dark hallway while Li Yifen and Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng followed behind him.

He muttered weakly as he looked at his surroundings cautiously, “This place looks like it is built for the giants and not for us….”

Li Yifen also could not help making a soft gasp, “Without the 9 golden signet rings and the true bloodline essence of the Cardinal Priestess, we are actually entering into the Inner Sanctuary…”

As Ji Yuan walked along this great hallway for some time, he soon come to yet another imposing iron gate that was also 50m in height and this one was laid with golden runes on it. 

Li Yifen said to Ji Yuan, “This is the inner gate of the Inner Sanctuary that I have told you earlier. Whether you can enter into the Inner Sanctuary depends on the sentient will of the Inner Sanctuary. But don’t ever force your way or attack the gate lest you will trigger the formidable immortal arrays that are in this place. Then we are doomed to die in here.”

Her warnings were actually unnecessary because this iron gate with golden runes soon dissolved into a shimmering golden portal that looked like golden blood. 

This startled Ji Yuan while Li Yifen exclaimed with delight, “We can actually enter into the Inner Sanctuary?”

Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng could not help herself as she gasped softly, “I find it really hard to believe that the sentient will of the Inner Sanctuary actually welcomes this lowly human slave…”

All of a sudden, she had frozen because the cold gaze of Li Yifen was upon her.

Li Yifen hummed coldly to her, “Be respectful to 4444 and be cautious of what you are saying in this place. This place is holy to our Ancient Race and you should learn not to mutter any rubbish while you are here lest you will be heard and it will be accountable on you. If so, then I may not be able to help or save you.”

Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng immediately turned ashen as she nodded weakly.

Ji Yuan on the other hand did not feel any fear or reverent. Rather he felt as though he was finally home and there was a familiar feeling about this place. 

Although he was startled by the golden shimmering portal, he was soon excited to explore the Inner Sanctuary as he wasted no time in stepping into it.

He was in jovial mood as he said to Anyang and Xiang Li: Maybe we can find some good profound treasures in this place!

Anyang answered him with a weak smile: Are you thinking of looting from yourself? This is lame. 𝒏𝗈𝐕𝑒𝐥𝚗𝑒xt.𝐜𝗈𝗆

Ji Yuan: …

Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng was shouting behind Ji Yuan as he entered into the shimmering portal, “Wait for us!”

After Ji Yuan had passed through the shimmering golden portal, he soon saw that he was in a huge white chamber. 

Compared to the dark hallway earlier, this white chamber was like another world and it was also a beautiful place with many imposing pillars and colorful murals.

But what had caught Ji Yuan’s attention was the sight of an imposing golden coffin that was chained in mid-air at the end of this chamber. 

Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng and Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen had also stepped through the golden shimmering portal and they had appeared behind him.

And they too, had their attentions on the golden coffin that was at the edge of this imposing white chamber that stood over 100m in height.

All these spaces and troubles just to host a golden coffin, this was too exaggerating. Not to mention that were also numerous immortal arrays that were in this place.

Ji Yuan stared at the golden coffin at the end of this white great chamber as he blinked his eyes, “So, this place is the shrine to the True Devil God and in that coffin, is his golden body?”
