The Romantic Cultivator



The 8 abyssals were angrily searching the red forest for the sight of Ji Yuan and Xuan Qiaoqiao; they could not understand how they could have lost sight of two puny non-abyssals. 

All of them were above the 5th cultivation realm and 2 of them were even at the 6th cultivation realm. 

These two non-abyssals were only at the second cultivation realm and they could not possibly have escaped from their sharp divine sense!

This was just not possible at all!

Because they could not find the two non-abyssals, they were now furious to have lost sight of two slaves that they could capture to sell for a small profit in the slave market. 

They were particularly interested in the hooded maiden and they saw that she had a nice figure. 

If she was not a beautiful slave then why was she hooded in the first place?

Ji Yuan grinned to Xuan Qiaoqiao quietly; it was as though he was saying to her that this was now the time for him to show his heroic side and it was also the time to interrogate them. 

He was quite alarmed that he could see the cultivation realm of the 2 sixth realm abyssals after Xuan Qiaoqiao had taught him how just now.

She had said to him, "You are now a False Immortal like me too. Therefore, there won't be a cultivator that could hide their cultivation realm from you unless they are a True Divinity cultivator."

Ji Yuan had tried to correct her, "I am an Empyrean level cultivator now."

He preferred to use his own created cultivation title. 

However Xuan Qiaoqiao seemed to ignore his feeble protest and she had said to him, "Now, False Immortal Ji Yuan, are you able to see their cultivation realm with your divine sense now?"

Ji Yuan was naturally able to see their cultivation realm now with the cultivation instruction from Xuan Qiaoqiao; it was actually not that difficult. 

It was no wonder why Xuan Qiaoqiao and Juan Xian'Er were able to see through his cultivation realm.

Back to the current moment, just when Ji Yuan was about to show off his heroic skills in front of the Cardinal Priestess, Xuan Qiaoqiao had already flashed in the midst of the 8 abyssals!

The 8 abyssals were extremely startled when a hooded maiden had suddenly appeared in their midst and they were even more startled that this seemed to be the same hooded maiden that they were trying to pursue. 

But before they could even react, Xuan Qiaoqiao had released her terrifying False Immortal profound oppression upon all of them! 

The 8 abyssals had turned paled immediately as they stammered in front of this hooded maiden that appeared like a dwarf in their midst. 

"Eighth… cultivation… realm…" 

It was as though time had been frozen in place for them as they tried to muster all their profound strength to escape from her profound oppression. 

Unfortunately for them, they were too low level and their movements were as slow as snails under her profound oppression. 

And from the profound aura of Xuan Qiaoqiao, a golden maiden with six arms wielding six golden swords were formed and in the next instant, all 8 abyssals were sliced to pieces like tofu in front of her!

This was a total massacre even though all 8 abyssals had extreme tough body but under the golden light of the golden swords of Xuan Qiaoqiao's golden maiden animus, they were unable to even flee away from her. 

Xuan Qiaoqiao's golden maiden animus was actually called the Cardinal Goddess spirit animus. 

Ji Yuan gulped at how formidable Xuan Qiaoqiao truly was at this moment. 

It was no wonder why Juan Xian'Er had warned him that should Xuan Qiaoqiao regains her profound strength, she could easily kill him. 

He did not believe it though but right now, he was forced to believe it.

His own spirit animus could only lend him more profound power as he is not a true spirit cultivator. But then, most celestial cultivators even if they are spirit cultivators are like Ji Yuan as well.

He had remembered his fight with the Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong and his Dark Asura animus was even able to throw dark talismans against him. 

Ji Yuan had also recalled that Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er had told him that Xuan Qiaoqiao is a True Spiritas. 

If so, then her control of the spirit animus for the Spiritas Race is just one notch higher than the other races. 

So it is not surprising that she could shape her spirit animus to materialize into lethal physical forms to aid her during a fight. 

Ji Yuan hated to fight against cultivators with such spirit animus and inertia barriers because he had to first disable their formidable defenses first while he would be vulnerable against their attacks. 

At this moment, Xuan Qiaoqiao was giggling in his direction and she was pulled back her hood to wink at him. "Ji Yuan, what do you think of my spirit animus and my fighting skills?"

Ji Yuan began to rub his chin as he slowly said, "Not bad at all. But you need to improve a little more. There are at least 9 possible vulnerability points that your enemy may exploit in order to hurt you. But it is pretty alright, they are just lowly abyssals so they won't be able to see through your weakness."

Xuan Qiaoqiao was startled, "At least 9 vulnerability points?"

Ji Yuan was actually just bullshitting her and he was just trying to undermine her confidence in front of him.

Ji Yuan pointed out, "Remember that I am a Sword Deity. So I know these types of things better than you do."

Then he tried to bullshit further, "It seems to me that you have not been adventuring a lot and needs plenty of improvements."

Xuan Qiaoqiao nodded, "It is really hard for a Cardinal Priestess like me to go out. I have actually sneaked out during this time."

Ji Yuan was quite relieved that he had struck a lucky guess. 

So he grinned, "Don't worry. With me around, you shall surely improve."

Xuan Qiaoqiao nodded eagerly, "When free, can you please give me some instructions to improve myself?"

He forced himself to smile like an awesome celestial teacher, "Why not if you are willing to learn a trick or two from me?"

Xuan Qiaoqiao looked really grateful as she smiled, "I thank Sword Deity Ji Yuan in advance first!"

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes and he was thinking: We can start by teaching you how to play the flute in the bedroom first…

All of a sudden both Ji Yuan and Xuan Qiaoqiao were alerted to a subtle presence in the red forest; this presence was extremely subtle but it was not difficult for these two super cultivators to sense it.

Xuan Qiaoqiao gasped softly as she focused her Cardinal Goddess Animus into the direction of the intrusion and immediately six golden swords had flashed like a sudden lightning bolt into that direction!

The trees ahead of them were all blow up by the powerful profound power of the six golden swords but the six golden swords were all scattered in all directions and were dissipated by a even more powerful profound power.

By destroying the golden swords of Xuan Qiaoqiao's Cardinal Goddess Animus, she had suffered a minor backlash and she had suddenly coughed out golden blood! 

Xuan Qiaoqiao was alarmed that there was actually such a formidable opponent in this place! 

Even Ji Yuan was alarmed as he displayed his emperor-step divine sword. 

But when the smoke and debris had cleared to reveal a shadowy slim figure in front, he was stunned again.

It was because it had revealed a peerless maiden with a scabbard in front of her and she was none other than Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao!

Ji Yuan gasped, "Ding Xiaoxiao?!"

Xuan Qiaoqiao saw his startled look, "You know her?"

Ding Xiaoxiao was also looking quite bewildered to see Ji Yuan in the same place as well. 

But she was soon smiling wryly, "I did say that the next time we meet, we will be enemies. Am I right?"
