The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan ignored the profound manifestation of the Great Demon God as he sped toward the Great Desolate Divine Palace. 

Surprising, he did not meet with any profound cannons or attacking arrays. 

Very soon, he was upon the Great Desolate Divine Palace as he sped toward it but he was suddenly knocked back by a powerful invisible inertia barrier that halted him and he was sent flying back by the electric profound shockwave of his impact.

Ji Yuan shouted angrily, "Lightning can't stop me!"

Then he began to slash furiously against the profound shield of the Great Desolate Divine Palace but his sword energy slashes were futile and he was knocked furiously backward by the electric shockwave of the invisible inertia barrier.

The Great Demon God roared with jovial laughter, "Even if you got a true divinity sword in your hand, you won't be able break through into the array defense of my Great Desolate Divine Palace. Unless of course, you want to attempt the sword art that you have used to drown the Evil Cultivation Palace. But the question is, are you still capable of using such a powerful profound art? Even if you can enter my Great Desolate Divine Palace, are you still capable of fighting me with your remaining strength?"

Ji Yuan did not answer him and instead, he had continued to fly around as he slashed his sword energies all over the profound shield of the massive Great Desolate Divine Palace. At the same time, he had also displayed his 9 flying swords to slash randomly against the inertia barrier that he was slashing against. 

The profound barrier of this Great Desolate Divine Palace was twice as thick and powerful as the Evil Cultivation Palace. 

Even if he used his Dividing One Sword against it, it won't break the profound shield of the Great Desolate Divine Palace. 

Also, he could no longer display the sword domain of his Million Swords Field to gauge the weakness of the Great Desolate Divine Palace's profound shield as he had already used it against the Evil Cultivation Palace. 

However, he could still display it if he reinforced his sword intention with the Life and Death Sword Domain to use it again.

But this Life and Death Sword Domain was extremely precious and like his other sword domains, he could only use it only once and he was saving it to fight against the Great Demon God.

Ji Yuan had suddenly stopped flying as he flew backward of a sudden to move his immortal scabbard from his back to his left hand.

He suddenly had an idea to use his immortal scabbard as a weapon. 

All of a sudden Ji Yuan had displayed two powerful white sword energies on both his left and right hand as he combined them into his Ultrapowerful Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon to plummet the middle of the Great Desolate Divine Palace. 

A serpentine flash of white sword energies exploded over the top of the Great Desolate Divine Palace as Ji Yuan scattered his sword energies profound attack over it.

All of a sudden, his sharp eyes spotted a curve in the profound shield of the Great Desolate Divine Palace and he could even see a small collapsed hole in one of the walls of the inner palaces that were in the middle palace. 

He was startled: There is actually a weakness for me to exploit and at such a convenient place?

He did not know that this part of the profound shield that was actually damaged by Ding Xiaoxiao a few days ago. 

Ji Yuan immediately displayed his Dividing One Sword against the small curve in the Great Desolate Divine Palace that he had spotted as he sent a black spear of black light to explode over it.

Just as the Great Demon God was mocking Ji Yuan's efforts to reach him, the black spear of light had suddenly punctured through the profound shield and had struck the inner palace that he was at, rocking the Great Desolate Divine Palace.

Although the Great Desolate Divine Palace did not suffer any damage and the profound shield was still intact, Ji Yuan's profound attack had caused a small hole to appear in the profound defense of the profound array that protected the Great Desolate Divine Palace.

This allowed Ji Yuan to quickly speed through and landed in the middle palace of the Great Desolate Divine Palace. 

Once he was inside, Ji Yuan was startled that he was being forced to land onto the grounds of the Great Desolate Divine Palace and he could no longer fly. 

Another powerful defensive array seemed to be distorting the fields all around the Great Desolate Divine Palace and this was what that had prevented Ji Yuan to use his profound aura to fly.

No one is allowed to fly while they are at the Great Desolate Divine Palace, whether they are immortals or not. 

Not even the Death God Mingwang can fly if 'he' is here today.

Ji Yuan laughed jovially as he shouted at the towering palaces in front of him, "Well, I am here now. Great Demon God, are you still going to hole yourself in your hideout and refusing to fight me?"

The profound voice of the Great Demon God echoed from within the inner palace, "Since you want to die, your wish shall be granted then. I just don't understand why should you want to fight and die for the others. Don't you know that your own life is more precious than the others?" 

Ji Yuan clenched his fist as he said coldly, "That's because you have killed the Saintess Fang Zhenfei. Her death shall not be in vain. And also, you shouldn't have violated Number 1! All these and more, I shall make you pay with your life!"

The Great Demon God frowned, "So what if I have violated Number 1? What does it have to do with you?"

Ji Yuan said angrily, "That is because she is my maiden!!!" 

Unknown to Ji Yuan, Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was in assembly with the hundreds of evil cultivators that had gathered in the great halls of the inner palace and they could all hear Ji Yuan.

Next to her was 5 of the lesser Numbers too, including one that had escaped earlier.

Ji Yuan's revelation shocked everyone, including Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao.

Ding Xiaoxiao thought awkwardly: What he is saying?

Then she cast a cold look at the hundreds of high level cultivators that were gossiping with one another, "It is just our enemy's random babblings. Do you believe the words of our enemy? He is merely trying to sow discord between me and the Great Demon God. This Sword Saint Ji Yuan is too cunning!"

When she had said that, the 5 remaining lesser Numbers were all nodding; no one believed that Number 1 would have an affair with anyone as she had a cold demeanour all the time. 

Ding Xiaoxiao was silently cursing Ji Yuan: If you want to fight, just fight. Do you have to talk so much? 

But at the same time, there was also an excited look in her crimson eyes at the thought of seeing Ji Yuan again.

But it soon turned to a woeful look as she muttered to herself: You shouldn't have come here alone… you should have come with the Death God Mingwang…
