The Romantic Cultivator

In the end, it was Shui Xisi that had entered Ji Yuan's inner spiritual sea to inspect the degree of his cultivation damage while the other maidens waited for her to tell them the horrible results. 

Xiang Li giggled softly, "Maiden Xisi, you are here!"

Anyang was also giggling, "Maiden Xisi is here to visit us."

Aura asked, "I know this sister…"

Shui Xisi was acquainted with Xiang Li and Anyang but she did not know Aura. "Who is she?"

Xiang Li giggled, "She is Aura and she is a spirit plant."

Aura protested immediately, "No! I am a divine tree!"

Shui Xisi was gasping with disbelief, "A spirit plant? A divine tree?'

Did Ji Yuan tell her that he got a divine tree or worm in his spiritual sea when they were taking the trial together in the Spiritas Tower? 

Ji Yuan was expecting for Shui Xisi to be fully naked as she entered into his spiritual sea. 

But to his disappointment, she was fully clothed. 

"What the heck, Sisi? Why are you fully clothed?" 

Shui Xisi giggled softly, "All my clothing are spirit profound treasures, that's why…"

All of a sudden she was gasping with great shock.

It was because she could suddenly see from beneath the spiritual mists of the Desolate that Ji Yuan's inner spiritual sea was golden in color instead of like the blue ocean.

Not only that, his spiritual energies were also extremely dense.

She was actually expecting a dry inner spiritual sea when she entered into Ji Yuan's soul sea. 

"Ji Yuan, what is going on? Why is your spiritual sea golden in color? Did you eat anything wrong lately?"

Ji Yuan said to her, "Sisi, do you remember that Golden Natal Divine Pearl that Old Reverend Beiyuan has given me?"

Shui Xisi nodded, "Yeah, I remember that. So?"

Ji Yuan explained, "That Golden Natal Divine Pearl melts in my inner spiritual sea and it has become like this."

Aura interrupted, "This is better now. I can grow faster now."

Shui Xisi extended her divine sense into Ji Yuan's inner spiritual sea before saying, "There are two layers of spiritual sea in your inner spiritual sea. The second layer is at the bottom and it is extremely rich in spiritual energies. In fact, it seems to be producing spiritual energies endlessly for you…"

She took a startled look at Ji Yuan, "You are now like a walking spiritual mountain."

Ji Yuan laughed softly, "Is that so? It is no wonder why I didn't feel tired at all."

Shui Xisi flew down into Ji Yuan's spiritual sea and was startled at the spiritual boundary, "Ji Yuan, how come your spiritual boundary is like the 9th realm cultivation? This isn't supposed to be happening at all."

"What do you mean?" Ji Yuan asked curiously. 

Shui Xisi said to him, "You are a half-immortal. Do you know that even if you managed to cultivate to the half-immortal 8th realm and even the 9th realm, the spiritual boundary of your spiritual sea will not increase. That is why that Immortal Teng Haijian says that you are ranked as the lowest tier immortal. Without expanding your spiritual boundary, you won't have the sufficient strength to use the immortal profound arts and to sustain yourself against the true immortals. Even if you are stronger than them, all they need to do is to outlast you and they will win."

Ji Yuan asked her weakly, "Are you asking me for an explanation or are you here to check my condition?"

Shui Xisi said with disbelief, "I don't understand this at all."

Ji Yuan asked her, "What is so unbelievable about this? Seeing is believing."

Shui Xisi said solemnly, "When your cultivation realm breakthrough to the 8th realm cultivation, your spiritual boundary will also increase tremendously but you have to spend several decades, even hundreds of years to regain your spiritual energies foundation. It is because you have consumed all your spiritual sea to expand your spiritual boundary during a realm breakthrough. You are a cultivator and I am sure that you understand this perfectly, right?"

Ji Yuan said, "Of course I know this. When I use my Desolate Cherubim to increase my 7th realm cultivation strength to the 8th realm, my spiritual sea is actually still at the 7th realm. Hence, my spiritual energies drain quite fast when I am trying to use my profound arts to the 8th realm cultivation strength…"

Then he paused to add, "When I had breakthrough from the 6th to the 7th realm cultivation, it took me several months to stabilize my spiritual energies foundation too. Haha… of course I know what you mean…"

"Several months?!" Shui Xisi gasped with shock, "How do you managed to stabilize your spiritual energies foundation in your spiritual sea in just several months? How many high grade spirit stones and profound treasures did you actually consume? This is quite impossible to regain your cultivation strength in only a few months."

Ji Yuan frowned, "Because I am a genius, you know."

Shui Xisi said with disbelief, "You are dirt poor and you don't have any cultivation resources. You probably need 10 years of nonstop cultivation to build your spiritual energies foundation for your new seventh realm."

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Are we talking about my seventh realm or are we talking about my 9th realm?"

Shui Xisi said solemnly to Ji Yuan, "Don't you get it? It takes a 100 times as long for the 8th cultivation realm than the 7th realm and it takes another 100 times to expand and stabilized your 9th cultivation realm. Didn't you spend 100 years for your 7th realm cultivation breakthrough?"

Ji Yuan said awkwardly, "Actually I have only spent the last 10 years trying for my 7th realm cultivation breakthrough. I was hiding for the other 90 years."

Shui Xisi: …

She weakly muttered, "I have to admit that you are a genius but even a genius needs time to cultivate and to stabilize his cultivation foundation. How long did you use to expand and stabilized your 8th and 9th realm?"

Ji Yuan blinked his eyes, "If I tell you, I didn't do any cultivation, do you believe me?"

Shui Xisi said coldly, "Ji Yuan, what have you been hiding from me?"

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Little Yui, are you there?"

All of a sudden, a black sword had emerged from Ji Yuan's spiritual sea and transformed into a little girl. "Yes, master?"

Shui Xisi was shocked, "Isn't this black sword the one that you have used during the fight with the Immortal Teng Haijian? I almost forgotten to ask you about this true divinity sword. Come to think of this, this black sword does look familiar to me…"

"It is the black sword that we had seen inside the Star Goddess Palace," Ji Yuan interrupted her. 

Shui Xisi gasped, "How come you have this sword?!"

Ji Yuan said weakly, "I did tell you that the canvas painting of this black sword attacked me and disappeared in my soul sea. But you didn't believe me."

Shui Xisi: …

She was completely dumbfounded; this was too unbelievable for her to believe…

She had remembered laughing at Ji Yuan, along with the Lovely Empress when Ji Yuan had told them about it.

Shui Xisi said weakly, "Alright then. Then how did you manage to expand the spiritual boundary of your cultivation realm?"

Ji Yuan smiled weakly, "If I tell you that I am the True Devil God, will you believe me?" 

Shui Xisi bitterly said, "I am willing to believe anything that you are saying now."

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "I have found the Golden Avatar of the True Devil God inside the Forbidden of the Sanctuary and merged with it after much difficulties."

Xiang Li and Anyang immediately rolled their eyes when Ji Yuan had mentioned the words 'after much difficulties'. 

Shui Xisi smiled weakly, "I know. You have sacrificed your body to obtain two keys from two abyssals in order to enter that place."

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Not really. I have only banged one of them. But I did bang their Cardinal Priestess though. Not once but many times. And I also banged several maidens while I was in the Dark Abyssal Realm. Hahaha…"

Shui Xisi: …

"You are hopeless, Ji Yuan… don't ever touch me again."

Ji Yuan: …
