The Romantic Cultivator

Time quickly passed and the 3 incense time were now almost up and the crowd was easily more than a hundred thousand onlookers now. 

Even the roof-tops were full of the spiritas maidens that were all trying to get a good look. 

This wide street had suddenly looked very small! 

However, there was still no sight of the Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue or even Xiao Muhan. 

Ji Yuan pretended to cultivate as he tried to look as cool and awesome as possible in front of so many onlookers.

But he was also asking nervously to himself: Where is my senior sister? Why isn’t she here yet? My fight is starting soon…

Xiang Li said weakly to him: There are just too many people…

As for the Goddess Ai Tina and Xu Yifei, they were cultivating nearby to try to regain as much of their profound strength as possible. 

In the meantime, Destiny like Ji Yuan was also pretending to read the spirit tea while Sun Dingjun, Ding Jie’Er, Dongfang Xin, Tang Manni, Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing were nervously looking at every slight movement that she was making.

Ji Yuan was constantly looking nervously in Destiny’s direction and he seemed to be saying: You are supposed to be protecting me from this number 1 great calamity, am I right to say so?

Destiny would always notice his subtle look and she would always nod subtly, seemingly sending an assurance nod in his direction. 

And all the others had thought that Ji Yuan would be able to overcome this number 1 great calamity by the reassuring gaze that Destiny had displayed with her subtle nod. 

Actually, Destiny was just nodding to Ji Yuan as she smiled to herself that it was pointless to ask her for any help. 

And she was simply welcoming the news that Ji Yuan may die today. 

She was absolutely filled with great delight while looking as stately as usual and she had already planned what to say next.

“I am so sorry that I am unable to help Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan to avert his number 1 great calamity. This is his fate and even I can’t change his destiny. This is his bad karma and I can’t do a thing. He should do more good while he was still alive. Unfortunately, this is already too late to do anything now. He is dead now.”

And she had turned to look at Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao several times and this was not lost on her.  𝗇𝑂𝓥𝓮𝗅𝔫𝗲xt.𝗰𝐎𝐌

Even Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily was a little alarmed by the confidence with which these two ‘great charlatans’, Ji Yuan and Destiny appeared to exude. 

It was because Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao had noticed Destiny for quite some time and she had this presence that was extremely ancient.

Although she had no idea that her name was Destiny but she had heard the others called her the Great Oracle and even the divine consorts seemed to be holding her in high regards. 

This included the Goddess Ai Tina too.

If so, then this Great Oracle should even be a high level immortal.

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao saw that this Great Oracle looks extremely composed when compared to the rest. 

In fact, she looked too composed and there was not even a slightest expression in her countenance all this while when comparing to the others. 

It was as though this Great Oracle had already known about the result of this duel.

This started to unnerve Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao a little even though she was still confident that she would not lose. 

She noticed that this Ji Yuan was also appearing overconfident when she turned to look at him, and he had even given her three incense of time to gather some of her profound strength back, in order to make their duel even more level.

But why is he so self-assured?

By now, he should know that she is a sword deity now, right?I think you should take a look at

He should be afraid?

Unless, he is also a sword deity?

This is impossible since he is only at the seventh cultivation realm.

Even though sword domains are not restricted to the immortal cultivators but for a sword saint, having even 1 sword domain is considered to be a lofty achievement and the sword saint would be considered a half-step sword immortal. 

There are only just a handful of sword saints over tens of thousands of years that have mastery of 2 sword domains and they are all considered to be sword immortals. 

And these sword immortals are already considered to be geniuses of all the sword geniuses. 

Talent alone is not enough. They also need to have a several fortuitous encounters and also be in the major celestial sects to be groomed as a possible sword immortal.

But this Ji Yuan is from a poor cultivation region and this alone should doom his chance to be a sword immortal.

As far as she knows, there are no sword deities below the 8th immortal cultivation realm ever. 

It is because each time a sword domain is formed, this actually consisted of the life time sword cultivation of a sword saint. And each time another new sword domain is formed, it will take twice and even many times as long.

And a celestial cultivator like Ji Yuan simply did not have such a long life like an immortal. 

Moreover, she has already learnt that this Ji Yuan is only 500 odd years of age. 

These thoughts had crossed into Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao’s mind. 

Unless…

Her eyes were suddenly looking at the Goddess Ai Tina; there is a special talisman from her that seemed to be extremely potent and this Goddess Ai Tina may use it while she is dueling with Ji Yuan.

But would this Ji Yuan allow it?

Or unless he is planning to change rules of the duel to include the Goddess Ai Tina and even the Great Oracle?

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao had suddenly realized the purpose of the 3 incense time.

This Ji Yuan was trying to unnerve her by giving her the time to think and this was his psychology warfare. 

In a duel, the duelists mental willpower may also play a huge part especially when the highest level of the sword intentions is the formation of a sword domain. 

And this Ji Yuan has sought to weaken her resolute. 

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao smiled.

Good try but this won’t work against her.

If you want to defeat me then you have to show me what you are capable of.
