The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 640 The Hollow World (1)



Back to the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth;

When Ji Yuan and his group had entered through the shimmering blue portal, they found themselves in a majestic rain forest overlooking several ringing mountains with ice cap on it.

They were not actually in the rain forest below but high above it and were still in spirit form. There should be a short briefing before they were sent down for their trial.

A profound voice then immediately said to them, “Welcome to the trial. You have picked the 4th portal out of the 7 portals…”

Ji Yuan blinked with his golden eyes as he looked at the short old man, Ling Feiyue, Yun Chi, Shui Xisi and the rest of his group. “Crap! I knew I’ve forgotten something. It is the portal sequence…”

Ling Feiyue kicked Ji Yuan softly on his boot and displayed a weak smile, “Forget it. It is too late already.”

The profound voice of the trial spirit hummed in the heavens above and said, “If you have a golden talisman, you are allowed to use it to exit this trial. If you use your golden talisman, you are no longer allowed to return to this trial.”

The short old man, Ling Feiyue, Yun Chi, Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng, the Lovely Empress, Zhi Jiugong, the Lovely Empress, the Smiling Divine Maiden, Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing were all nodding at this announcement.

Ji Yuan was also nodding slowly as he thought: It seems that the golden talisman can only be used once if we are entering a trial with a portal.

Xiang Li giggled: That’s right!

​ Anyang said weakly: I am sure that you answer before thinking…

The profound voice continued with a monologue echo but it was a female voice nevertheless, “The object of this trial is to survive for 1 week and you will receive rewards pertaining to your ability to survive which has a hidden score of 100. In order to pass this trial and to claim your reward, you must achieve 80 marks.”

When the profound voice of the trial spirit had said this, Ji Yuan felt like laughing out loud as he laughed. “This is a S+ Trial? All we need to do is to find a cave and sleep for 1 week. Haha…”

Then he turned to ask Bai Qianfeng with a wry smile, “Are you able to use your profound strength in this place?”

Bai Qianfeng slowly nodded but she looked uneasy. “I can. But this place gives me the creeps. I have the most uneasy feeling about this place.”

“Same here.” Yun Chi slowly said.

The profound voice of the trial spirit continued, “Then welcome to the Hollow World. In a while time, I will teleport you below…”

“No wait,” the trial spirit had suddenly said. “Let’s wait for a little while.”

This stunned everyone.

Ji Yuan was about to protest with a loud laugh when all of a sudden a huge golden dragon with six golden wings had suddenly appeared over the horizon and immediately Ji Yuan could sense a great dread that was suddenly upon him and his fingers were actually trembling and he was not actually the only one!

Even Bai Qianfeng, Yun Chi and the short old man aka the White Sword Monarch had suddenly turned pale!

This gigantic dragon was so huge that Ji Yuan was just the size of its toe nail and its entire body was covered with splendid gold scales that reflected the sun rays of the light brilliantly.

This gigantic dragon was a 13th rank divine beast and the profound animus of its aura was terrifying.

Bai Qianfeng inhaled heavily and her lips were trembling, “There are no 13th rank divine or desolate beast even in the Immortal Divine Realm. What is this monstrosity…”

“Look! There is a man on the golden divine dragon.” Yun Chi had suddenly pointed to a dark cloaked man that was on top of the golden divine dragon.

Although this dark cloak man did not display any profound animus but the aura around him looked extremely lofty and forbidden.

When this dark cloak man on top of the golden divine dragon passed through the heavens, there were huge horrid winds and hundreds of high ranking monsters that were at the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th rank were running on the ground and in the heavens.

Then the dark cloaked man raised his finger and a black bolt of light had suddenly vitalized into profound energy as it flew to strike dead a 11th rank serpent that was on the ground and the ground below had exploded into a burning pit. As for the serpent desolate monster, it had completely imploded into pieces on the ground below.

Then the dark cloaked man and the golden divine dragon sped past the heavens below disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Bai Qianfeng was gasping as she turned to look at Yun Chi, “Did he just kill a 11th rank serpent with a single hit?! Is it even possible?”

Ji Yuan was gulping now as he muttered weakly, “My spirit animus is only at the 9th rank… and I didn’t even notice that there are so many desolate monsters below us in the thick forest below…”

Yun Chi said slowly and she was pale, “We are actually high above the heavens and in spirit form. That is why our divine sense is not able to sense the desolate beasts below…”

Then she turned to look at the rest of the group, “And that man just now isn’t a celestial cultivator or an immortal. He is from the God Race.”

Bai Qianfeng was startled, “God Race? I’ve never heard of them before.”

There were also many perplexed looks on the others, including Ji Yuan.

Yun Chi sighed softly, “That man earlier is at the 10th Immortal positioning. I can’t be wrong about this. I have heard that there is a God Race and they stay in a mysterious divine realm that is close to the Great Beyond. Realm. This may even be a lower divine realm of the Great Beyond Realm.”

Ji Yuan was stunned, “Are you kidding me? And this is only a S+ Rank Trial. How the heck did we get send to such a high level divine realm? They may as well send me to the Immortal Divine Realm!”

Yun Chi sighed softly, “The Great God Pangu and the Great Goddess Fantian are at the 10th Immortal Positioning too and they have created the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. Therefore there is a possibility that they have the ability to create a secret way to this place. However, this is only my guess. Where we are, I actually do not know.”

Yu Jingjing asked, “Maybe we can ask someone else here where we are?”

Shui Xisi said weakly, “And get ourselves killed in the process?”

The Lovely Empress had suddenly raised her lovely voice as she shouted to the trial spirit, “Hey! Where actually are we now?”

“This is the Hollow World.” The trial spirit simply answered.

The Lovely Empress: …

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, “I think I have just changed my mind on hiding in the cave. Now I want to dig as deep as possible underground…”

“You can continue on your trial now. Best of luck to survive.” The trial spirit interrupted Ji Yuan all of a sudden and immediately 12 beams of light had descended into the rain forest below.

Only when the beams of light had taken Ji Yuan and his group to the ground below, did Ji Yuan realize they were actually very far up and everything in this place was gigantic. In fact, the rain forest looked taller than even a mountain here!

Ji Yuan almost fainted when he saw the sight.

Bai Qianfeng gasped softly, “These trees really had the height of the World Trees in the Immortal Realm…”
