The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan was now planning his revenge by bombing her with all kinds of questions about the Spiritas Tower. 

Perhaps he may even find a helpful clue or two even that may even allow him to understand the Spiritas Tower a little better. 

So, he chuckled before asking, “How many tens of thousands of years have it been now? Surely you must have already won the holy war in the Greater Spirit Realm by now, right? At the rate of 6 divine consorts every 500 years, just how many immortal divine consorts are there in the Greater Spirit Realm now?”

“As a champion for Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei and also as a Great Spiritas Hero, what if my results are dismayed in the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower? Won’t this affect my reputation or the great reputation of the Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei?”

Ji Yuan had asked many questions at a single go because he was had suppressing his anger of being grinded relentless earlier for some time now.

But now he was grinning back.

The Goddess Ai Tina was smiling instead; it was because she had finally snapped him. 

While she had been grinding him, she had suddenly realized that he was not only a sword saint but a sword deity as well. Therefore, he should be able to sense her killing intents.

And his attitude proves it.

What Ji Yuan did not realize was that this Goddess Ai Tina was smarter than he had thought and even the Greatest Spiritas Hero Achilles had taken a long time to gain her trust.

And the Greatest Spiritas Hero Achilles had gained her trust by deceiving her affections for him and she had become blinded by the emotion called ‘love’. 

The Goddess Ai Tina was not worried about Ji Yuan’s possible dismally results in the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower; it was all rigged by the 6 Supreme Divine Gods anyway.

She answered slowly, “The holy wars between the immortal divine lords and the immortal divine lords have been waging for a long time in the Greater Spirit Realm. After all, it is an immortal realm that is 10 000 times bigger than the Spirit Realm here…”

Ji Yuan was startled as he interrupted with a soft gasp, “10 000 times bigger? How big exactly is the Greater Spirit Realm?”

The Goddess Tina chuckled softly, “I have no idea as well but it isn’t possible for me to explore it entirely as there are plenty of dangerous immortal spirit beasts there as well. The Greater Spirit Realm is beautiful and vast world and my celestial sect is also 1000 times bigger than Snowy Pavilion City.”

Ji Yuan was startled, “There are so many immortals in the Greater Spirit Realm?”

It was not just Ji Yuan that was interested to know more about the Greater Spirit Realm but the other 5 divine consorts were also astonished and they were also curious to know more. 

They were not as shameless as Ji Yuan who kept asking his questions nonstop, seeming having no regards to the fact that he was speaking to an immortal goddess.

The Goddess Ai Tina smiled captivatingly at Ji Yuan, “We don’t have so many immortals in the Greater Spirit Realm. They are all scattered throughout the Greater Spirit Realm. The reason why it is so big is because we can all fly with a greater speed with our immortal profound strength in the Greater Spirit Realm and it is more convenient.”

Ji Yuan laughed weakly; he can’t really fly here. His normal spirit animus can’t allow him to float. But when he summoned his powerful desolate cherubim spirit animus, he was able to do so and even glide but his flying speed was actually slower than his running speed.

While it was useful to go up to the mountains and other obstacles but it exerted too much on his profound strength to maintain his spirit animus with his current cultivation realm. 

The same goes for the other 5 divine consorts as well; although they may be spirit cultivators and could float or do short burst of flying speed with their normal spirit animus but it will tax heavily on their profound strength. It is just not effective for them to fight in the air than on the ground.

The Goddess Ai Tina continued with a smile and she was looking at Ji Yuan all this while. 

“Since this is a vast world, naturally our enemies the immortal divine lords have plenty of places to hide from us…”

“The purpose of this Spiritas Tower is to allow all the divine consorts to ascend to a single place rather than randomly ascending into dangers in the Greater Spirit Realm. And that is how we are able get stronger and stronger than the immortal divine lords who before we have come, are more interested to fight among themselves…”

“That is how we are able to turn the tables on them because we are more united than them and also because of our hatred for them…”

Then she said with a sudden woeful look, “And as the Goddess Ai Tina and also the First Divine Consort, I have a duty to protect all the divine consorts that trust me to change their fates…” 

As she answered Ji Yuan, she was constantly looking at Ji Yuan and this gave him an uneasy feeling especially when he could feel her killing intentions.

Ji Yuan was now not paying attention to her answers because he got a feeling that she was purposely making known of her killing intentions for him and that was what giving him the creeps. 

All of a sudden, the Goddess Ai Tina smiled to Ji Yuan, “I can see from your look that you may still have plenty of questions to ask me. Why don’t we have a private one to one chat instead? You can have as much time as you needed. I shall grant you this special privilege but there is one reasonable condition. You have to tell me more about your Celestial Realm too.”

Ji Yuan was dumbfounded: No way! What if you were to invade my Celestial Realm like the way the Great Demon God invades mine. And the way the celestials invade yours. Maybe you are looking to take your revenge on my Celestial Realm instead…

He quickly laughed, “I am still feeling weak from my last battle with the Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong so I am thinking of going back to recuperate further. Haha…”

The Goddess Ai smiled, “I see. How about we meet in 3 days’ time in this place to go to the Oracle of Delphi. I have something personal to settle first.”

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei was surprised, “Our Goddess Ai Tina is not going to stay for the time begin? Maybe my place is indeed too small. How about staying at the villa of my Sister Divine Consort Tang Manni or the villa of Divine Consort Dongfang Xin?”

The Goddess Ai Tina laughed softly, “I really have something personal to attend to and moreover, this Ji Yuan here have just exited his short cultivation. I am sure that the 5 of you must have plenty of things to say to him.”

When she had said this, all 5 of the divine consorts were flustered and they were all looking at Ji Yuan; it was because they really have plenty of things to talk to him. After all, he had been in a cultivation retreat for the past 7 days to treat his ailments and he was looking much weaker than before.

Ji Yuan on the other hand was also glad to be given the chance to gain back as much of his strength first for the next 3 days and he did not want to see this Goddess Ai Tina for the time being.𝑛𝒪𝑣𝑬𝗅𝗇𝐞xt.𝓒𝑂𝑀

He had lost too much of his yang essence to his senior sister the Smiling Divine Maiden and this was the ‘strength’ that he was referring to. 

Xiang Li asked him in his soul sea: Big Brother, you don’t want to be alone with this Goddess Ai Tina? Why? It is your perfect chance to bang her, you know.

Even Fairy Anyang was curiously asking: Yea, why my lord? This is so unlike you.

But Ji Yuan answered them weakly: She is dangerous. Trust me, I know. I feel that things are not that simple.

Xiang Li giggled: Nonsense Big Brother. She is a kind goddess that comes from the Greater Spirit Realm and she is here to help the divine consorts to ascend. You are just too cautious. 

Fairy Anyang smiled with a knowing look: I have never seen someone like her that truly cares about her people. And she even wants to help the divine consorts in this place to get rid of the rebels before she departs for the Greater Spirit Realm. You are just jealous that she is unattainable by an impure cultivator such as you while she is such a pure goddess.

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

The Goddess Ai Tina smiled to Ji Yuan as she winked at him, “Let’s meet here in 3 days’ time then since you are still tired. If you got any other questions, I can answer you while we are on the way to the Oracle of Delphi.”

Ji Yuan answered weakly, “Sure, sure…”

He was thinking that Xu Yifei and him were probably not going to return from this trip.

3 days are more than enough for this Goddess Ai Tina to think of a way to break his Sword Domains and he knows nothing about her profound skills. 

He got a really lousy feeling this time.
