The Romantic Cultivator

The banquet was finally over after lasting from day to the next morning.

During the night, everyone continued to feast and chat jovially. 

New alliances and friendships were forged among the celestial cultivators.

With the damage of the Great Demon God that was still fresh in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, many of the celestial cultivators were also seeking new fundings or powerful support to rebuild their cultivation sects.

The damage was great.

There were many cultivators that had defected to the Great Demon God and they had done great despicable things. Their sins cannot be forgiven easily. 

Ji Yuan did not get involve with this feud as he allowed them to settle their own internal affairs; it was too many for him to settle personally and many of his maidens were also the leaders of the resistance group that got betrayed by the many cultivators that defected to the Evil Cultivation Palace. 

Those with less heavy sins were allowed to do penances to redeem themselves as many of them were actually followers.

But they were not trusted anymore to take on the leadership position in their cultivation sects.

Of course, Ji Yuan and many of the leaders of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity knows that there were many cultivation sects that were switching sides to whoever was the stronger; they had closed one eye to it. 

As long as they did not commit any knowing atrocities or create any feuds with the other cultivation sects, everyone is willing to close an eye to it.

It is because the cultivation sects have absolute authority over their domains. 

And also, because there are usually intrigues from among the cultivation sects are common anyway and everyone is eager for things to be normal again.

At least with Ji Yuan as the Great Alliance Leader, the celestial cultivators will all have a strong support from all those that supports Ji Yuan to fight against the remanent of the evil cultivators that remained loyal to the Evil Cultivation Palace and the Great Demon God. 

It is also to show the defeated evil cultivators that the Desolate Celestial Fraternity is united as one and therefore, they should not try to mess up again against any of the cultivation sects. 

And that even the smaller cultivation sects can seek help from the Great Alliance Leader Ji Yuan anytime if the evil cultivators would attempt to seize their cultivation sect and to use it as a base. 

Of course, some cultivation sects may actually be the evil cultivators themselves and they are only trying to portray as the good guys. But this is another story.

On paper at the very least, the victory over the Great Demon God and the Evil Cultivation Palace have been won. 

Without the Great Demon God and his powerful leaders of the Evil Cultivation Palace, most of the remanent of the evil cultivators and the collaborators that did evil were mainly on the chicken run.lightsnovel

Ji Yuan also closed one eye to the damages that the Great Immortal Rohan and the Goddess Alyssa had done while they were leaders of the Evil Cultivation Palace. It was because they made a soul oath not to harm the interest of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity anymore.

And also, the Great Immortal Rohan had suddenly declared that he would be loyal to the Great Alliance Leader Rohan and he was even willing to become his sword of justice. 

The Great Immortal Rohan is actually trying to hug Ji Yuan the big tree now as he is his best protection.

lightsnοvεl The Great Immortal Rohan is not afraid of the reprisals of the cultivators Desolate Celestial Fraternity as he could easily have beaten them up. But he is afraid of the Pangu Immortals of the Nine Heavens that may descend to find the Desolate Immortals.

And Ji Yuan is stronger than most of the Pangu Immortals that would come down from the Nine Heavens, saved for the Great Gods and Goddesses of the Pangu Immortals.

And also, he was trying to sell himself to Shui Xisi as he said to her, “I know that you are the daughter of the Great Goddess Alice. Do you think that you can allow us to stay in the Celestial Realm as our hiding place? We know that we are not welcome in the Desolate Immortal Realm or the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. We have no place to run.”

The Desolate Immortals numbered around 30 and they could easily have fled to the deepest recess of the desolate mists to evade the Pangu Immortals but they were sick of hiding now. 

Shui Xisi had said to the Great Immortal Rohan, “I can plead on your behalf but I can’t make any promise. I don’t have any influence with the Great God Pangu or to the Great Goddess Fantian. Even my mother consort is subjugated to them.”

This is not exactly true since Shui Xisi is actually the daughter of the Great God Pangu himself! And she is the blessed daughter of the heavens! 

And her destiny is to become the future ruler of the Nine Heavens as her half-sister Fan Yuqing the Golden Mask Devil Goddess had no interest in becoming the Immortal Ruler of the Nine Heavens. 

Also, the main reason why Fan Yuqing did not want to be the Immortal Ruler is also because she is in love with the reincarnation of the Great Lord Xuan Yuan and he had the blood of too many of the Pangu Immortals.

There is another reason why Shui Xisi is picked to be the successor of the Immortal Ruler of the Nine Heavens; it is because she is the Great Goddess Fan Tian’s only successor! 

When the Great Goddess Fan Tian was reincarnating in the mortal realm, she had used the name of Shui Yixian (See A Martial Odyssey). 

And it is not a coincidence that Shui Xisi has used the clan name of Shui instead of Fang like her Sister Feng Zhenfei even though they are real siblings from the same mother consort. Her real clan name is Celestial though as her mother consort the Great Goddess Alice is also known as the Great Goddess Celestial Alice. 

Therefore, for Shui Xisi, her true name is Celestial Shui Xisi and she is also the future immortal ruler of the Nine Heavens. 

Actually, she had no idea that she would be the future immortal ruler of the Nine Heavens but the demise of her Sister Fang Zhenfei has caused her to become the new successor instead. 

The Fang from the name of Fang Zhenfei means in all directions and her name Zhenfei means Soaring with Righteousness. In short, her name when added together means to rule the four corners of the heavens with righteousness. action
