The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 468 Into The Iron Desolate Forest (2)



Although the Great Beyond Goddess could see the nefarious heart of Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping, she kept quiet about it. It was because she was merely an observer in her creations and she did not want to interfere with the affairs of the Six Divine Realms.

That was why she had created ‘Xiang Li’ to give hope to the pure heart so that the weak would not lose hope. For anyone less than pure heart, Xiang Li would not appear in the first place.

She however, had a look of pity on Qin Shuang though; she can see that her soul is still incorruptible and she is trying to resist the soul marks that are on her. In fact, there are numerous times that she has wanted to inform Ji Yuan and his party but her restrictions will forcibly suppress her will.

The Great Beyond Goddess was cold by nature. To her, the lives of these cultivators were over in a blink of an eye while she was the true eternal goddess.

However, she had taken an interest in Yun Chi who was almost like her and she was even expecting a child.

This was a great surprise to her…

Yun Chi on the other hand was wary of ‘Dream Mist’. It was because she did not believe that a mere high level spirit entity would be able to take her blows previously. Although Dream Mist had almost lost to Bai Qianfeng because Ji Yuan’s soul sea was exhausted, Yun Chi continued to suspect her.

But the Great Beyond Goddess merely met her intense glazes casually and there was nothing Yun Chi could do to her.

She also knew that Yun Chi was now trying to protect her child and would not act rashly.

It was a waiting game for the both of them but it was a game that could only benefit the Great Beyond Goddess for she was merely an observer.

She was intrigued by both Ji Yuan and Xiang Li…

Her thoughts were quickly interrupted by Ji Yuan who was suddenly shouting from among the tall ironwoods and he was shouting in great alarm at the team of cultivators that were following them.

“Stop immediately! There are several dangerous arrays by your side!”

This team was trying to follow Ji Yuan at a great distance through the thick ironwoods and because they were trying not to alert Ji Yuan and his party, they had purposely walked the other way.

JI Yuan had a much sharper malevolent sense than the others and moreover he had Senior Mo Bei to warn him so he was able to avoid almost all the dangerous arrays and to lead his party to safety.

But the cultivators from the other team had triggered a dangerous array that spanned a hundred miles!

Immediately there were hundreds of dark phantoms appearing from the deadly hidden arrays.𝚗𝐎𝐕𝔢𝐋𝑵𝔢xt.𝗰𝑶𝓶

These dark phantoms were formed from the desolate energies of the arrays and were not weak at all!

Typically a fifth realm golden celestial was able to handle one and a seventh realm golden saint was able to handle five with ease.

But there were literally hundreds of them and every cultivator was forced to fight at least ten of these things.

The dark phantoms had deadly attacks that could corrode through the protective clothes of the cultivators and even affected their profound recovery.

Ji Yuan was not slowed to react as he quickly cut down four dark phantoms that were in front of him with his saintly divine sword and his sword energies had also helped Xiao Muhan to cut down two dark phantoms.

Xiao Muhan muttered weakly as he fended off eight of the dark phantoms that were surrounding him, “Um… thanks brother.”

Ji Yuan grinned, “You’re welcome brother.”

The saintly sword that was in Ji Yuan’s hand was actually Xiang Li and Ji Yuan did not hesitate in using it to slay his enemies.

Anyang looked a little hurt that Ji Yuan did not use her so she said: My lord! You did not use Anyang! I am now much stronger than Xiang Li!

Ji Yuan answered weakly: I am just too used in using Xiang Li. Previously you are only an immortal sword but now you are a saint sword. With my seventh realm great saint cultivation strength, I can barely lift you up. Haha…

It was the truth.

Ji Yuan had tried to show off his great profound strength and recovery by lifting two saint-step divine swords at full power but it turned out he was being slowed and his profound energies were depleting at a much faster rate than he could recover.

But that was not the real point.

The real point here was that he was expecting to use his eighth realm cultivation profound might via his spirit animus.

Therefore he could only say weakly to Anyang: Stay where you are first. I will use you later when I’ve encountered a much stronger foe. These foes are moving too fast for me to use two saint swords!

It was the truth. In order to kill these dark phantoms very quickly, Ji Yuan had to use his sword arts more than usual.

He was even forced to display his miracle sword art, the Thousands Sacred Swords!

Dozens of images began to splinter all around him as Ji Yuan took down one dark phantom after another, totaling thirty.

Each of the illusional sword had the profound power of a single Heaven Light of the Coiling Dragon!

This was not lost on Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping who was secretly observing Ji Yuan: This is a miracle sword art and he had also a saint-step divine sword?!

Mo Bei grumbled softly as he took out three dark phantoms, “Are you trying to show off in front of me?”

An exhausted Ji Yuan said breathlessly, “I am trying to prevent the majority of these dark phantoms from reaching my party members. Why don’t you fight a bit harder?”

But all of a sudden he was stunned when Mo Bei had suddenly left him and Xiao Muhan…

It was because Mo Bei’s sharp eyes had seen that Maiden Qin Shuang was in trouble.

Her Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping was fighting against twelve of the dark phantoms while Qin Shuang was forced to fight eight of the dark phantoms all by self.

Mo Bei had immediately come to her aid as he shattered the desolate energies of the dark phantom that was nearest to her, “Are you alright Maiden Qin Shuang?”

Qin Shuang gasped softly and was startled that Mo Bei still have the room to rescue her.

Mo Bei grinned, “You are just a golden supremacy while I am a great saint. You can’t defeat these dark phantoms on your own even if you have a saintly divine sword.”

Qin Shuang was about to thank him but when she had heard his lame rebuke, she decided not to answer him anymore…

Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping had heard Mo Bei naturally and she could only wryly say to herself: This Mo Bei is indeed true to his character and he is indeed lame. It’s no wonder that he can’t find his cultivation dao partner.

Ji Yuan had naturally saw that Qin Shuang was in trouble and before he could shout for Xiao Muhan or Hua Yingxiong to go to Qin Shuang’s aid immediately, Mo Bei had already gone to her aid.

This caused Ji Yuan to curse Mo Bei silently; it was because Mo Bei was the second most capable fighter in the vanguard and he had just abandoned him to tank even more dark phantoms. If he was given a choice, Ji Yuan would also go to Qin Shuang’s aid.

Far behind Ji Yuan and Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping, Bai Qianfeng had released her two seventh rank desolate beasts and they were crushing the dark phantoms left and right. For those dark phantoms that were near her, she would immediately slain them with her celestial-step divine sword.

Ji Yuan gulped weakly when he saw that: What a terrifying maiden. Luckily my Qianfeng is on my side.

With Bai Qianfeng around, Ling Feiyue, Feng Minyue, Yun Chi and Dream Mist did not have many dark phantoms to deal with.

However the same could not be said for the other team; three of the cultivators were killed and five were forced to use their golden talisman to escape before they had slain all the dark phantoms.

Ji Yuan took a little longer to finish killing all the dark phantoms as he was cleaning the perimeters.

After he was done, he saw that his team was now bigger than the other team.

However the other team of eight continued to maintain their distance from their team and did not even bother to send in a token of gratitude.

Ji Yuan did not bother with them since he knew how lofty the high level cultivators were and they had always thought that they were the only sons and daughters of the heavens.

He did not notice that there was one robed cultivator from among the eight cultivators that bear great animosity toward Ji Yuan.

He was supposed to be dead and killed by the Devil Goddess Fan Yuqing; his name is Jin Yilong!

When the Devil Goddess had used a sword to pierce his heart, he had thought that he was dead for sure…

He was in a cahoots with the Dark Cultivation Palace to kill Ji Yuan in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth because he had always feared Ji Yuan and he had also believed that Ji Yuan was a hindrance to him.

The Devil Goddess had tricked him with a Mystic Star Profound Pill that could enhance his cultivation level but instead, she had given him an extremely rare sixth rank divine pill that turned him into a woman.

Rather to say he was a real woman, it was better to say that he was not a true woman or a true man now.

The Devil Goddess had patiently waited for him to digest the effects of this divine pill into his soul sea before telling him the truth.

In the entire celestial fraternity, only the Devil Goddess would expend such a great expenses of cultivation resources to concoct something so useless such as the gender changing divine pill.

When Jin Yilong had awakened from his injuries, he had thought that he was dead; the Devil Goddess had literally taken him on a rollercoaster ride…

That was not the end of his troubles; in his weaken state he was picked up by the two grand elders of the Evil Cultivation Palace and was mistaken as a female cultivator. Before he had realized it, he was made into their living furnace.

He was literally screaming at them when he had regained his consciousness, “I am Jin Yilong! I’m on your side!”

“You… look so different without your beard…” Great Saint Jin Qiang stammered out.

Great Saint Jin Dahai almost puked, “I’ve thought that you are just plain ugly and I’m forced to have whatever little primeval yin that you’ve.”

The two grand elders from the Evil Cultivation Palace, Great Saint Jin Qiang and Great Saint Jin Dahai then hurriedly left in great disgust, pretending that they had never encountered him.

Jin Yilong was filled with hatred for Ji Yuan and the Devil Goddess. As a living furnace, his cultivation realm would never increase again and moreover he had to depend on the primeval yang of the male cultivators in order to survive.

But there was a little problem; he was too ugly to attract the male cultivators.

It was a lucky thing that he was a saint cultivator and he could have his way with the weaker male cultivators.
