The Romantic Cultivator

When Ji Yuan had reached the heaven gate of the True Origin Celestial Sect, there were already thousands of people crowding along the steep steps.

And they all rudely tell Ji Yuan, “Hey you, queue up please!”

By now Ji Yuan had already decided to use his Golden Eye Mystic Skill to conceal his golden eyes. It was a trick that he had first used when he had first emerged from his seventh realm reclusion and a profound skill that he had stolen from Little Princess.

He had decided that his golden eyes were too prominent to be of any use to him.

After all he had a mission and that was to obtain the spiritual veins of the celestial clan that he was being assigned to so that he could use it to open the gates of the inner Pangu Citadel.

He soon found out that every twenty years, the True Origin Celestial Sect will open its celestial gates to welcome the wannabe cultivators.

And that was why there were so many thousands of these wannabe cultivators here; they are all interested to cultivate the way to obtain profound powers or to seek immortality.

He soon saw that there was a testing stone in front of the heaven gate where the protégés of the True Origin Celestial Sect were using it to test the spiritual potential of the wannabe cultivators.

Naturally when it was Ji Yuan’s turn to take his turn at the testing stone, he was naturally full of confidence. After all, he was really a peaked great saint in the Celestial Realm!

And when he was using his animus spirit, he was naturally an eighth realm cultivator without any equal.

Haha, this is too easy…

“You’ve no spiritual roots and you’ve failed your spiritual potential test.” The cultivator in charge of testing Ji Yuan said casually after examining the testing stone that failed to light up.

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

This is IMPOSSIBLE, IMPOSSIBLE!!!

What is going on?!

“Next.” The cultivator in charge raised his voice to shout to the next candidate behind Ji Yuan to step forward.

“No wait!” This must be a mistake!” Ji Yuan protested immediately. “This testing stone must be a bloody fake!”

Even Xiang Li and Fairy Anyang were protesting at the same time, “That’s right!”

As Ji Yuan was being dragged along, he was frowning at the same time. It was because he had suddenly realized that this was not because the testing stone was fake but it was too inferior to sense his golden profound strength.

Ji Yuan was naturally a golden celestial and he had undergone his life and death transformation to become a true celestial. Therefore his profound strength is different from the profound strength of the mortal cultivators.

Naturally this testing stone was not able to detect his golden profound strength.

He had suddenly realized this.

So he shouted panicky, “Wait, wait! This testing stone cannot detect my awesomeness…”

“Let him go.” An elegant voice said.

Ji Yuan looked up and saw that it was Elder Qiu Xiuyu again.

It is her?

The many cultivators quickly greeted their elder Qiu Xiuyu while the thousands of cultivators nearby were all awestruck by her beautiful appearance.

She was like an astonishing beautiful fairy that had suddenly descended upon the mountains and it steeled the hearts of many of the wannabe cultivators to become a cultivator so that they can have another look at her.

One of the cultivators said politely, “Elder Qiu. This man here has no spiritual roots so we are banishing him away.”

Elder Qiu Xiuyu said gently, “There is more than one way to become a cultivator of the True Origin Celestial Sect. Not all protégés of the True Origin Celestial Sect need to have spiritual roots. Some can still take the scholarly path or the alchemist path.”

Many of the cultivators were smiling secretly; cultivators without spiritual roots or profound strength are worse than second rate cultivators. They are third rate and to be despised upon!

Often these no spiritual root cultivators are lowly servants who serve the needs of the protégés of the True Origin Celestial Sect. Even a lowly outer court protégé will be able to bully them!

Qiu Xiuyu turned to appraise Ji Yuan slowly before she asked, “Where are your golden eyes?”

Ji Yuan smiled weakly, “I’ve an ailment. Sometimes my eyes will turn yellow if I am sicky and tired.”

“Oh…” Qiu Xiuyu looked a little disappointed.

But she quickly smiled and asked, “You have three chances to answer a celestial question that I am going to put forth to test your affinity to become a cultivator. So think carefully. If you can even pass even one of the questions then you will be accepted as an outer court servant.”

Ji Yuan frowned weakly; Outer court servant?! I am a saint and I have to become an outer yard servant?!

But he coolly smiled to Qiu Xiuyu because he was a little captivated by her captivating extraordinary beauty and he could tell that she was just trying to help him.

Qiu Xiuyu said, “Great golden saint is the most powerful celestial cultivator in the Celestial Realm. What is the difference between a normal saint and a great saint?”

Many of the cultivators were secretly laughing now; how could a country pumpkin like Ji Yuan knows about the cultivation world of the Celestial Realm when he is not even a cultivator yet. All these are forbidden celestial knowledge.

Ji Yuan pondered briefly before he answered, “There are actually three classes to a golden celestial. The usual golden celestial, the golden supremacy and the golden saint. A great saint is also a golden saint but there is one difference that make them the highest class of golden celestials and that is that they have overcome their lightning tribulation to reach the upper tier of the golden saint cultivation realm level. A great saint therefore isn’t a typical golden saint and instead they are the elites in the Celestial Realm.”

Qiu Xiuyu was gasping and so were many of the cultivators.

Ji Yuan had answered the question without stammering and as though it was common knowledge to him.

“So did I answer correctly?” Ji Yuan grinned.

Qiu Xiuyu nodded slowly before she smiles, “You’ve answered correctly and you will be accepted as an outer court servant. You must be very happy today to be accepted as a servant of the True Origin Celestial Sect. And you even answer the question correctly on your very first try. You indeed have the affinity to join our sect.”

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes with bitterness; right…I am so happy to be an outer court servant…why is it it sounds so forced?

But he was soon grinning back silently; I will be very happy if I can part your legs and hold your bosoms in my hands…

Now this doesn’t sound so forced anymore…
