The Romantic Cultivator

In a section of the maze-like iron forests of the Secret Oracle Gate. 

It was almost the end of the second day when Ji Yuan, Xu Yifei and the Goddess Ai Tina had run into an ambush of 5 6th rank primeval profound beasts. 

Ji Yuan had quickly dispatched of 2 of the primeval profound beasts and so did the Goddess Ai Tina with the explosions of two of her spirit talismans. 

The last primeval profound beast was dispatched by Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei. 

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, “Haha, so this should be the 3rd trial, am I right? They attack us and not the other way around.”

The Goddess Ai Tina gently shook her head, “This isn’t a trial. There is a challenge at all.”

Ji Yuan was startled as he tried to protested, “6th rank profound beast! They can rip us to pieces anytime if we are not careful. Moreover, there are 5 of them. And this isn’t considered a trial?”

But the Goddess Ai Tina ignored Ji Yuan and continued on her way.

Xu Yifei smiled at Ji Yuan as she gently pulled him along, “The Goddess Ai Tina isn’t the one that set the challenges of the trial. It is pointless to protest to her.”

Ji Yuan displayed a silly look as he said bitterly, “Right…”

He had merely taken a minute to dispatch 2 6th rank primeval profound beasts. Frankly speaking, this was a little too easy for him. 

It seemed that he was now much stronger than before he had entered the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. 

No wonder in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, all the senior celestials would say to the young celestials. “You aren’t a true celestial if you have not been to the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth yet. In there, you will be tempered by the dangers and trials of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. Never offend a golden celestial that have been to the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth!”

Ji Yuan thought: Maybe they should change this saying to, never offend a golden celestial that have been to the final trial of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth instead. Haha…

It was no wonder why his Jiajia had told him that he must enter the trials of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and be tempered by it, if he wants to be useful to her.

Jiajia going to be very surprised when he had emerged from the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and looking so much stronger.

It was because he has grown much stronger than he could anticipate especially when he got some secret aids from Bai Qianfeng and Yun Chi, who are immortal cultivators. 

“You know, what if I am sick or something? Then I won’t be in a tip top condition to defeat these profound beasts.” Ji Yuan said solemnly to Xu Yifei as they walked behind the Goddess Ai Tina.

The Goddess Ai Tina turned around and said to Ji Yuan, “High level cultivators like yourself will never get sick.”

Ji Yuan laughed weakly as he protested aloud, “Maybe my cultivation core is damaged or something, you never know.”

The Goddess Ai Tina turned to Xu Yifei to say, “I think this Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan really talks too much.”

Even Xu Yifei looked a little awkward by Ji Yuan’s protests.

“Master Ji Yuan, let’s talk about something else instead?”

Ji Yuan answered awkwardly, “I’m just trying to right this injustice for ourselves. This Great Oracle of the Delphi is too elusive. We have been lost in here for 2 days now.”

The Goddess Ai Tina smiled wryly at his reply and said quietly, “You have a kind soul…”

The reason why she had said that was because the Goddess’ Tear would never pick a cultivator to be with if that cultivator’s soul is not a kind soul.

And also, because she had heard from Xu Yifei that Ji Yuan had helped her to regain her cultivation. 

She was really startled that Ji Yuan would be able to help Xu Yifei to repair her cultivation core, since he was not a spirit cultivator or exhibited a strong talent in profound healing.

Xu Yifei did not want to hide this from the Goddess Ai Tina and told her that in Ji Yuan’s soul sea, there is a Golden Natal Divine Pearl that is rich in profound spiritual aura and it is this Golden Natal Divine Pearl that has aided her recovery.

The Goddess Ai Tina was stunned; this Golden Natal Divine Pearl is an immortal profound treasure that she had heard of in the old legends and rumors. 

It is said that there is a golden pearl that can repair even the cultivation core of the cultivator, no matter how severe it is. 

It must be this Golden Natal Divine Pearl.

She asked Xu Yifei how he had got it.

Xu Yifei could only say that it was a gift from Ji Yuan’s immortal master.

The Goddess Ai Tina was quite startled that Ji Yuan actually has an immortal master. 

On hindsight, there was definitely plenty of mysteries around Ji Yuan.

It is because he has a pair of emperor-step divine swords, two sword spirits, a formidable 9th rank spirit animus, is a sword deity, has an immortal scabbard, has the immortal Golden Natal Divine Pearl, an immortal master and even the Goddess’ Tear. 

She wondered what Ji Yuan’s desire or wish would be.

To be the strongest cultivator?

To be a genius of the geniuses?

It was because the Goddess’ Tear would be able to grant it to him as a profound treasure before disappearing.

Just like many years ago, her Goddess’ Tear had disappeared into a white and blue divine shield to safeguard her against the fierce profound attacks of the divine lords.

The profound powers of the Goddess Tear were actually not absolute but it offered a ray of hope. Against the truly powerful, it was but a power immortal profound treasure. 

She wondered if she were to strike against Ji Yuan with the absolute death soul talisman of her 6 masters, what would Xiang Li the Goddess Tear reacted to it?

Maybe the Goddess’ Tear would even transform into a protective ward to protect Ji Yuan’s soul sea. 

Is it 100% or partial? 

If it isn’t 100%, then this would be very troublesome for her to kill him. 

But any partial soul attack could also cripple Ji Yuan’s cultivation. 

It is because the combined profound soul attacks of the 6 Supreme Divine Gods are almost absolute; for they are the most powerful immortal spirit cultivators in the entire Greater Divine Realm and ancient beyond imagining.  𝔫𝞸𝑣𝔢𝓁𝑛𝐞xt.𝗰𝗈𝗆

She actually did not want to kill Ji Yuan now because this Ji Yuan is a benefactor of Xu Yifei but there is a restriction in her soul sea to force her to kill Ji Yuan before she returns to the Greater Spirit Realm.

But it is either she dies or he dies.
