The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan patted Shui Qingqing on his left and Zhao Songjin on his right before he said to them solemnly, “I promise to give the two of you a positive reply if I am able to return from the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods.”

He had become very good in using this excuse as he had previously used it on some of the maidens. 

Then he laughed and said, “I am in a hurry and need to excuse myself first. I will catch up with the two of you soon enough.”

With that he had quickly sped away in a hurry.

Unknown to Ji Yuan, he was spotted by Ling Feiyue and Xue Qianxue from far behind him.

 And they were shocked! 

From their angles, they could see that Ji Yuan was embracing both Shui Qingqing and Zhao Songjin at the same time. Not only that, he was talking and laughing too as he hugged them at the same time.

Ling Feiyue was startled, “Nowadays he even dared to flirt in such an open manner?!”

Even Xue Qianxue was shocked, “I know that he got a leg with Zhao Songjin and now I have proof! They are really friends with benefits!” 

Ling Feiyue muttered, “We ought to let Shui Xisi knows about this as well. This is really bad.”

Ji Yuan was actually in a great hurry to leave the scene and when he had finally left, he had forgotten to ask Shui Qingqing the direction that Shui Xisi was at.

“What the heck?! I have forgotten to ask for the direction?” 

He was in great disbelief because he felt like he had been running against the flow of the river as he tried to catch up to Destiny and he felt truly unlucky.

Instead of catching up to Destiny, he kept bumping into the others.

Now he was trying to find Shui Xisi but he had forgotten to ask about her location.

He began to curse softly, “What have I been doing for almost a month in the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect?”

Xiang Li giggled to him when she had heard him: Banging all the maidens every day in your room until your waist cannot move.

Ji Yuan: …

Anyang said to him: Well, you can return and look for your Qingqing and Songjin to ask them again.

Ji Yuan: …

“No way!” He quickly said. “This place isn’t that big anyway. It is just 5 palace wings. Sooner or later, I will be able to find Sisi and Destiny.”

Anyang asked: Have you ever considered that they may have gone to the other inner palace or even the other mountain peaks?”

Ji Yuan: …

“Don’t remind me of that.”

Then he heaved a soft sigh, “Well, it is good to take a walk around here. After all, this place is where my Jiajia stays for a long time and I can feel Jiajia’s presence in this place.”

Then he looked at the quiet hallways and looked around, “Mm, where is everyone?”

Anyang said: This is the inner palace and is warded by profound arrays. Most protégés are not allowed into the areas of the inner palaces, let alone inside the palace itself. The most that they can enter is the common hall of the inner palace.

Ji Yuan frowned, “Do they need to have such a rule? This palace is even bigger than my entire Emperor Hall Sect and several times bigger than my Orthodox Sword Sect. This place seems like a creepy tomb without the presence of anyone alive in sight.”

Anyang chuckled: Why don’t you admit that you are lost in this place instead?

Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes as he pondered, “Do you think that the other direction is the right one instead?”

Anyang smiled weakly: You are asking me for direction? Why don’t you shout and ask if there are anyone nearby instead?

Xiang Li giggled: I agree! This is the best solution!

Ji Yuan immediately frowned, “Are you kidding me? Then everyone will know that I am lost in the hallways of this inner palace. That will be so awkward to my face.”

Xiang Li said loudly: But Big Brother! You are lost! And you need to find Destiny and Maiden Sisi!

Ji Yuan laughed aloud, “With my heaven-defying ability to track down my opponents, will I be lost in such a puny palace?”

If anyone was watching Ji Yuan now, it may appear like he was talking to the air but he was actually talking to Xiang Li and Anyang. 

Because there was no one around, he had spoken aloud rather than shelving his divine sense into his inner spiritual sea. 

If he does that then he would have awakened Aura and Little Yui as well then they would know that he is lost. 

As Ji Yuan laughed, all of a sudden he had turned around and stared at the darkness behind him; it was because he seemed to have sense a presence behind him that caused him to have goose pimples!lightsnovel

And this was an unknown presence that he had not felt before!

“Who is that?”

Ji Yuan was on guard already and his hands were ready to unsheathe his swords from his scabbard that was on his back.

He could suddenly see the outline of a figure that was lurking in the darkness as he displayed his powerful divine sense and sword intentions ahead of him.

All of a sudden, he shouted. “There you are!”

Immediately he had flashed with a lightning speed with his sword fingers raised. 

lightsΝοvel Since he had no idea if that was a friend or foe, this attack stance was quite lethal and he did not display his divine swords or his more powerful profound arts. 

Also, he had to consider the safety of this palace too even though the walls were all made of celestium stones. 

As soon as Ji Yuan had flashed into the hallway, there were nine golden discs of light that struck him hard and he was sent flying back! 

Flying backward was not the word.

He was sent crashing with a thunderous crash onto the wall! 

His opponent was not at all merciful!

The instant that Ji Yuan had been attacked by the nine hovering golden discs, he saw a man with a long beautiful white beard seemingly grinning at him as he was being attacking.

This white bearded man had a youthful face that did not match his white beard and Ji Yuan immediately suspected that his white beard must be a fake one.

The white bearded man said to him, “This is only a causal attack and you can’t even handle it. How can you even defeat the Great Demon God with this puny profound strength of yours?”

Ji Yuan immediately displayed his black sword, which was his true divinity sword and he was grinning too. “Old man, you will soon know my true strength.”

He had recovered in the next instant even though he was still shaking with great shock and pain all over.

Then he noticed that the nine hovering golden discs that had attacked him had returned to the side of the white bearded man that had attacked him. 

Ji Yuan was immediately cautious as he noticed that these nine hovering golden discs condensed a powerful profound energies each and were as powerful as divine swords.

Moreover, these powerful profound energies could be used to defend and attack too, displaying a nimbleness that Ji Yuan’s flying swords could not match.

Ji Yuan tried to read the cultivation realm of his enemy and he was quite startled that he could not read it; this indicated that his opponent may be at least an upper 9th immortal cultivator!

He said coldly, “You aren’t with the Great Immortal Rohan. And how did you even manage to enter the profound arrays of this place?”

He knows every immortals that had come with the Great Immortal Rohan and this white bearded man was definitely not among them! 

The white bearded man laughed, “I can come and go as I pleased. The profound array in this place is child play to me.”

Ji Yuan was silence after hearing this; the intricate profound arrays of the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect was quite renowned. Even if it was an immortal, they would not be able to enter it without triggering an alarm. But this white bearded man was able to! 

He said quietly to him, “You mind if we fight outside?”

The white bearded man smiled wryly, “What if I don’t? What will you do to me?”

Ji Yuan said solemnly, “If we fight outside then you only have to face my wrath. But if you dare to fight in this place and destroy this place, then you will have to face the wrath of some of my maidens.”

He was naturally referring to Destiny, Yun Chi and Ding Xiaoxiao; the three of them when added together could even fight the Great Demon God.

Surely this white bearded man was not as strong as the Great Demon God?

All of a sudden the white beard man had released his profound aura and an overwhelming profound pressure began to sweep in all directions! 

This caused Ji Yuan to turn ashen immediately and he was even forced to bend his knee as he also used all his profound aura to try to stand straight against this overwhelming oppressing pressure that had suddenly exploded in all directions! 

Not even the Great Demon God could force him to bend his knee! 

It was because this white bearded man was a True Divinity! 

Ji Yuan broke into cold sweats as he said gravely, “Who are you?!”

Elsewhere in this inner palace and even the entire Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect, the immerse overwhelming powerful true divinity profound aura could be felt and many of the weaker cultivators were even knocked down by it.

Thousands of cultivators and even guests that had not left the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect were left crawling on the ground as the oppressing aura forced them to be sundered flat when it had suddenly appeared in their midst.

The white beard man then grinned at Ji Yuan, “So what if I don’t go and fight with you elsewhere? Are you hoping that your reinforcements will arrive to save you? In just a blink of an eye, I can obliterate this entire place and massacre everyone in here. And what can you do to me?”

Ji Yuan had turned ashen immediately as he remembered that Hua Wuwu, Hua Baiyue, Zhao Songjin and Shui Qingqing were all in the same palace as him.
