The Romantic Cultivator

The golden clouds continued to stir rapidly it kept ballooning rapidly. 

The Great Immortal Rohan and the Goddess Alyssa were both looking quite ashen; this was a powerful presence that they had never known before. In fact, many of the weaker immortals like the Immortal Fairy Lucia was shivering with great fear.

Even Ding Xiaoxiao and Yun Chi were trembling slightly as the golden clouds thickened.

Ji Yuan was astonished to see their expressions and asked Ding Xiaoxiao and Yun Chi, "What's wrong?"

As he was standing quite far away from the Goddess Alyssa and the Great Immortal Rohan due to the many thousands that were blocking between them, he had failed to notice that they had the same expression as Ding Xiaoxiao and Yun Chi too.

That was why earlier, the Great Immortal Rohan had to shout across to Ji Yuan to warn him. Although he could fly to Ji Yuan but it would be too rude and too disrespectful to Ji Yuan. 

But the main reason was that he dared not go too near to Ding Xiaoxiao and flying would only put him as a more prominent target for her.

The same was for the Goddess Alyssa as well.

The Immortal Fairy Lucia had wanted to go near to Ji Yuan upon his triumphant return but her shyness had kept her from doing so. Therefore, she could only bit her small cherry lips with great regrets.

There was another beautiful maiden that was also full of regrets but it was for a completely different reason and she was Ruan Songci; she had failed to obtain the most juiciest part of Ji Yuan's great victory over the Great Demon God and she was full of regrets.

At this moment, she could only record's Ji Yuan words into her memory stone but this news won't be worth too much to her Mystic Eye Sect and to her own advancement within the Mystic Eye Sect. 

At this moment, she was also frantically writing in her small notebook: Ji Yuan fought against the 800 large profound ships of the Evil Cultivation Palace and he was almost killed by the thousands of profound cannons that he was being forced to tank. It was a miracle that he had survived. Only by his sheer willpower did he pull himself up again and again…

She was also thinking: No harm in writing some exaggerations. Maybe my elders will reward me for all these information that the others are not able to obtain. This may be exclusive news…

All of a sudden she had heard the maiden that was behind whispering to the other maiden, "Alas. I wish that I could be Sword Saint Ji Yuan's consort. Then I will be able to hear his epic tales all the time…"

"Me too," the other maiden that was listening was also lamenting. 

All of a sudden, a startled bolt of light struck Ruan Songci as she gasped with a sudden realization: Why am I so stupid? If I am the Sword Saint Ji Yuan's maiden, then won't I have all his untold epic stories? Then I may be even be made into an elder immediately…

She did not know that Ji Yuan's stories often have lots of water in it; it was because Ji Yuan had actually fought in numerous duels that he had even forgotten exactly how many duels he had fought before he had become a saint. And then he would drink with his random brothers as they shared their 'epic' recounting of their fights. 

Even a 3 hour duel would become a 3 day duel when recounted by Ji Yuan. 

Now, drunk or not, he had got into a bad habit of exaggerating his fights in front of the others. 

While most of the cultivation heroes in the cultivation stories would not try to mention how many people that they had killed to avoid being looked upon as bloodthirsty by the readers and to maintain their heroic self as a future savior, Ji Yuan was exactly like an arrogant young master that would boast to his friends and brothers about his feat.

This was quite evident when Ji Yuan was inside a trial of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth as he tried to rewrite his own version of the cultivation story.

Although his stories were watery but it was undeniable that he was a Sword Saint and a real fighter. 

Ruan Songci was now looking at Ji Yuan with great interest now and she was suddenly startled how beautiful and heroic he really was. It was as though she was being struck by a cupid arrow as she began to see Ji Yuan in a new light that she had never thought before and her heartbeat was beating rapidly.

She thought: I am supposed to be in his harem, right? The Great Immortal Rohan had presented me to him…

Ruan Songci was actually inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and had just recently returned with some regrets; her memory stone won't work inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and she could not reveal the details of her trials inside as well. 

But barely had she returned, she was captured by the evil cultivators. 

But fortunately for her, her Mystic Eye Sect had made a secret agreement with the Evil Cultivation Palace to sell them classified information and she was spared from any torture or mistreatment. 

Just as she had thought that she was safe, she was informed by the evil cultivators that she would be given to the Sword Saint Ji Yuan as his maiden. 

This shocked her and she had wept bitterly that her fate was as woeful as the other captured maidens.

But this Sword Saint did not touch her or violate her. Instead, he had given everyone a choice of leaving his 'harem' or to fight with him. 

When she saw the many beautiful maidens of this Ji Yuan, including the three great beauties of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity that were with him, she had thought that he was nothing but a lecherous cultivator.

Her mind was now trying to paint Ji Yuan as heroic and not a lecherous cultivator.

However, Ji Yuan was no doubt a lecherous cultivator and he had a high standard when he comes to choosing his maidens.

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted when a great oppressing awe had suddenly surfaced from the golden clouds.

The higher realm cultivators like Yun Chi, Ding Xiaoxiao, the Great Immortal Rohan, the Goddess Alyssa, the Immortal Fairy Lucia and the other immortals were all able to sense an oppressing aura that was approaching and they were all trembling.

Now that this oppressing awe had surfaced, the thousands of cultivators were so shocked and overwhelmed by it that they were now on their knees.

All the cultivators except for the great saint cultivators and above were spared from this oppressing awe that caused their legs to grow weak.

A large golden outline of a face with a veil had suddenly appeared from the golden clouds and a feminine voice echoed in her profound voice, "I am the Great Beyond Goddess."

Ding Xiaoxiao, Yun Chi, the Immortal Fairy Lucia, the Great Immortal Rohan, the Goddess Alyssa and all the others were all shocked; it was because the Great Beyond Goddess had never been known to manifest to anyone and only leaving her Goddess Tear as a hope to the lower realm cultivators so that they won't be totally be suppressed by the immortals or from the powerful evil cultivators.

Ji Yuan was also startled, "The Great Beyond Goddess?!"

He was the only one that was not trembling because he had never known fear before, not even when he was a first realm cultivator facing a seventh realm cultivator. 

The reason for Ji Yuan's fearlessness was because he was the True Devil God's reincarnated and he would not bow to anyone since he was a first generation true god.

But right now, he was a little afraid. 

It was because he had run into a conflict with Dream Mist and he had even accidentally kissed her and embraced her.

Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Yun Chi, Feng Minyue, Zhi Jiugong, the Smiling Divine Maiden, the Lovely Empress and Shui Xisi were all shocked as well by the sudden appearance of the Great Beyond Goddess; they had adventured with Dream Mist for a while inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and they had personally witnessed her profound might. 

Yun Chi was gasping with shock at the suddenly proclamation of the golden outline in the golden heavens above, "Why is the Great Beyond Goddess here…"

Ji Yuan sighed heavily, "I may have accidentally offended the Great Beyond Goddess for sure…"

He was beginning to regret how he had exaggerated his epic story with the Great Demon God even though he had not exactly retold about that part yet.

All of a sudden Ji Yuan was on his knees and this included Ding Xiaoxiao, Yun Chi, the Great Immortal Rohan and all the immortals too!

It was because as the golden outline of the Great Beyond Goddess became even more prominent, the oppressing awe was so overwhelming that even they had to kneel in front of the Great Beyond Goddess!

Only those that had kneeled were spared from the oppressing awe that were sapping their profound strength rapidly and everyone could feel a formidable force that was sweeping over them and knocking everyone down!

Xu Yifei gasped softly to herself as she kneeled, "Protégé mistress, you are here?"

Xiang Li was also muttering softly in Ji Yuan's inner spirtual sea: The Great Beyond Goddess...
