The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan whispered gently to enticing but reluctant Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei, displaying a flustered look at her. “Now leave. I always prefer to fight alone. Go and get help.”

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei slowly nodded before she flashed to where her female followers were and she had lit a golden light that resembled a golden talisman on her right finger in front of her to resist the intense pressure for herself and her left fingers another golden talisman to protect her 8 female followers. 

Ji Yuan was startled: She is staying behind?! 

There was a look of determination in Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei’s countenance when she saw Ji Yuan’s startled look but she said softly, “I’ll fight after you then.”

Ji Yuan had a sheepish look; it was because she had misunderstood him. He was actually hoping that she would get help for him but because of his manly pride, this would be too awkward to say it straight to her face.

So, he had to suck his thumb and fight this Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong until the other divine consorts would be here to aid him.

Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong said coldly, “Since you are a sword expert, draw your swords and I will give you an advantage of…”

Ji Yuan thought: Give me an advantage by fighting me with a sword too?

But Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong had said instead, “…not fighting you with a sword.”

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

He had by now, displayed his two sword spirits on his arms in additional to his desolate cherubim spirit animus.

Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong looked a little surprised, “Two sword spirits as well as a spirit animus? Is this even possible in the first place?”

Ji Yuan had also flashed nine of his divine swords from his pocket spatial space in front of him. 

1 half-step emperor divine sword.

1 saint-step divine sword.

1 immortal-step divine sword.

1 celestial sword.

5 heaven-step divine swords.

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei and her 8 female followers were quite startled to see the number of divine swords that were placed in front of Ji Yuan.

Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong was also startled to see that were was even 3 superior divine swords in front of him and there was even a half-step emperor divine sword.

So, he asked curiously, “You can use all 9 swords? They are your swords?”

“Not really.” Ji Yuan grinned as he opened his immortal scabbard to draw his two emperor divine swords. “Xiang Li, Anyang. Time for the two of you to be useful.”

With the power of this immortal scabbard, Ji Yuan’s two divine swords were able to display itself as a full-step emperor-sword divine sword while needing the profound might of a saint-step divine sword to wield it.

But of course, the most crucial thing that he has to do when dual wielding two powerful superior divine swords is that he must depend on his powerful desolate cherubim to channel him with the profound power to do so and he got a temporary boast of profound power to the 8th peak immortal realm.

It was not the same as having a true 8th cultivation realm, which could mean a boast in all areas of cultivations and profound arts. This was a temporary boost to his profound power.

And he needed this profound power to execute his Grand Cross Sword Profound Art with his double divine swords.

He had rarely displayed both of his divine swords at the same time, much less his Desolate Cherubim spirit animus at the same time.

But he was now being forced to because his opponent was stronger than any 8th immortal cultivator that he had ever met.

And Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong was still smiling wryly at him while waiting for him to start the duel.

Ji Yuan knows that for his opponent to be so calm, he must be an opponent that was truly terrifying. So, he had to become calm as well and think fast on how he should start this battle.

The Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong used to be a great hero when he was in the Spirit Divine Realm tens of thousands of years ago and indeed, he had gone through many great battles by being the first to lead the charge against other heroes of the city-states and the powerful spirit divine monsters of the Spirit Divine Realm.

In the past, the Spiritas worshipped heroism and the great masculine of man to the extreme. A true man of the Spiritas was the embodiment of courage, heroism and their heroic deeds would be sung by the bards in all the city-states, regardless if they were the enemies or not. 

And they would also have any maidens and men that they fancy except for the elite nobles of their spiritas race. 

Also, in the past, there was a legendary heroes guild called the 300 Spiritas Legendary Heroes. And this Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong was in it and his renown were legendary.

He was most renowned for his 12 legendary impossible tasks in the past. 

But unfortunately, it was largely forgotten by the female spiritas and his heroic deeds banished in the ancient libraries of the present spiritas race.

The current female spiritas had no use for any heroes and only heroines of their spiritas race.

Among the heroines that they had admired was naturally their first divine consort, the Ancient First Divine Consort that had ever since ascended to the Greater Spirit Realm through the spirit power of the Spiritas Tower. 

The current spiritas race would never have even guessed that their Ancient First Divine Consort would become a plaything of the Six Supreme Divine Gods of the Greater Spirit Realm, including the plaything of countless number of immortal divine lords. 

And even Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong had played with her for a couple of times in his long immortal life.

To him, all the divine consorts including the great divine consorts were all inferior to the Ancient First Divine Consort and they were all his plaything.

As for this Ji Yuan, it was obvious to him that he was an inferior spiritas and he seemed to have a lot more human blood in him.

And that he seemed to cultivate the inferior celestial path and not the superior spirit path. 

Such a sad state! 

Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong immediately recalled the glorious days when he had slayed 10 of the human’s great sword saints and subjected Tyr, the most powerful of the human city-state and took all their maidens and men.

Countless royal great cities of the human race like Gomorrah, Sinon, Sinan, Sin, Ai, Jude and many more had all fallen to him as well.

Moreover, he was now a true immortal of the 8th peaked spirit cultivation realm now and was much stronger than he was in the past, before he had ascended.

Therefore, he disdained in his heart this sword cultivator Ji Yuan. 

The Spirit Spiritas will never wield a sword for it will hinder their spirit progressions and they considered anyone that uses a weapon to be an inferior and is only fit to be assigned to the great games of the spiritas for their amusements.

Ji Yuan now said, “So, Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong. Are you waiting for me to make the first move?”

Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong was smirking coldly, “Of course. I always give my inferior a chance and only 1 chance. Isn’t it why I have been waiting for you?”

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, “Hahaha… then don’t regret this or beg me for mercy later…”

Without his Endless Fighting Spirit to restraint him now, he was actually thinking of running away if things go south. But Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei was here to watch him and it hurts his manly pride to run away. 

If only this was a personal duel instead…

All of a sudden, 4 astonishing beautiful maidens each one of them beautiful in their own ways were suddenly seen flying hastily to the scene and they were startled to see the powerful 8th immortal profound aura and the towering Dark Asura spirit animus of the Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong.

“What is this?”

“Darkness Profound Aura…”

“A divine lord?!”

“Immortal divine lord to be exact…”

“Is this even possible?”

“Our Ancient First Divine Consort and the other divine consorts must have been victorious against these depraved immortal divine lords in the Greater Spirit Realm or else why are we still receiving their spirit power every 500 years?”

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei had suddenly warned them gently, “Don’t get into the way of their duel. Stand behind me. I can hold back the intense pressure of his darkness profound strength for everyone. I hope that all of you will conserve your strength first and fight with me later.”

It was only then that they had all suddenly noticed that the white profound aura around Xu Yifei was that of a great divine consort.

Divine Consort Tang Manni was startled but she was truly delighted, “Sister, you have regained your spirit profound strength?”

Divine Consort Dongfang Xin was gasping with disbelief as her beautiful eyes stared at her, “Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei is back…”

There was a sheepish look that was in the beautiful flustered countenance of Divine Consort Sun Dingjun; it was because she had offended Xu Yifei in the past. 

She was also the first to be ahead of the other 3 divine consorts as she was leaving with Xiao Muhan to pay Ji Yuan a visit after getting all his black history. 

But when her spirit divine sense had sensed a powerful but disturbing profound aura ahead of her, she had immediately taken flight to investigate it ahead of Xiao Muhan and her other female followers. 

The charming look of Divine Consort Ding Jie’Er was also surprised but she was paying more attention to Ji Yuan, “Yuan Beluga is fighting an immortal divine lord all by himself? Why? We should help him…”

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei had heard her and she said quietly, “This is Master Ji Yuan’s wish to fight a duel with this Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong. We have to respect his wishes.”

Although Ji Yuan was now standing far away from Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei, he could however hear her and all the divine consorts. 

There was a sheepish look in his face as he muttered to himself, “Actually, my true wish is for all 6 of us to try to beat this guy…”
