The Romantic Cultivator

A spirit young maiden was floating in her own spatial space as she watched the many cultivators simultaneously.

She was the real trial spirit of this trial that Ji Yuan was in.

She could not believe what she was witnessing from this cohort of cultivators.

There was one particular cultivator that had caught her attention and he was Ji Yuan. Even though he did not appear to be a genius but time and time he had surprised her.

First he was the only cultivator that had a saintly divine sword. Between the Celestial Realm and Immortal Realm, there were only less than a dozen of these saint swords in existence.

She had thought that he must have a considerable background from the Immortal Realm because he could even divine harmonize with a divine sword. Not once but twice over.

But after inspecting the profound animus of his saintly divine sword, she had realized that his saintly divine sword was a newly forged saint sword.

"This is impossible…only the universal righteous force can force a saint sword in the present universe…"

One must know that divine swords are all forged from heavenly relics and heavenly relics are actually not mined from anywhere else hence heavenly relics are extremely precious.

To forge a heaven-step divine sword, only the purest heaven-step heavenly relic can be used.

Basically divine swords have six grades of superiority; mortal, earth, heaven, celestial, immortal and saint.

In the Celestial Realm, the first three grades are easily obtainable but the second half of the three grades are quite impossible to obtain even by the standards of the immortals.

One must know how heavenly relics are obtained in the first place and they are all forged from the ashes of the failed ascensions of the cultivators.

When the cultivators in the Celestial Realm ascend to the Immortal Realm, their golden bodies will be metamorphosis into a pillar of light to transcend from the Celestial Realm to the Immortal Realm.

In this final ascension to the Immortal Realm, if the ascension fails, there is a chance that a piece of heavenly relic will be formed.

But even then the weight of the heavenly relic may not be enough to forge into a divine sword and it may even take several generations of collection for a divine sword to be truly forged from the ashes of the failed ascensions.

That is the main reason why divine swords are more commonly seen in the hands of the powerful and major celestial clans and none at all from the lesser known celestial clans; it was because these divine swords are all forged from the ashes of their saints!

And it is also main reason why divine swords are all treated as heritage swords by the many celestial clans, passing down the lineage lines as precious heritages and as an authority of leadership.

But that was not the only reason why this spirit young maiden was intrigued by Ji Yuan even though Ji Yuan was not the only interesting cultivators that had appeared; Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi had also intrigued her because she could detect an immortal aura around them as well.

She had suddenly found out that Ji Yuan seemed to have possessed three spirit entities, breaking the norm.

Normally most cultivators can only have a spirit entity in their soul sea. It can be in the form of a spirit entity that can take after their profound animus or a sword spirit. But of course, there are also some other cultivators that can have the lucky two spirit entities because they had a profound art that can shape their own spirit entities in their profound animus.

The Sacred Maiden Profound Art from the Celestial Orthodox Sect is one example where a cultivator may have two spirit entities because one of the spirit entities is actually formed from a profound art and not by obtaining from an external source.

But Ji Yuan appeared to have a normal spirit entity and also a sword spirit.

This was also quite puzzling to her.

But after a closer inspection, she had suddenly realized that Ji Yuan actually had two sword spirits instead. The other sword spirit was still dormant and could not be awakened yet.

She had never seen anyone that can have two sword spirits because it was near impossible to achieve and it was also quite impossible to use two sword spirits at the same time.

But she knew that Ji Yuan was able to use both sword spirits once he was able to awaken it because he had already achieved double harmonized with his divine sword. Therefore it was all too easy for him to use both sword spirits at the same time.

If so then this Ji Yuan's sword art would be the strongest under the heavens and the earth.

But there was something tingling familiar about the second sword spirit; it was as though she seemed to know this spirit entity…

And lastly, she was totally perplexed by the presence of Ji Yuan's spirit entity which he had called Xiang Li.

The spirit young maiden flushed lightly when she recalled how the two of them were masturbating together at close proximity for many days seemingly without any shame.

She would not believe how a cultivator could screw himself by swallowing five masculine profound pills.

For a while she had thought that this Ji Yuan would be dead from sheer exhaustion and he would burn all his spiritual seas due to the powerful effects of the five masculine profound pills that were taken together.

But to her surprise, this Ji Yuan had survived mainly because his spirit entity Xiang Li had helped him to neutralize it by using her feminine energies.

The spirit young maiden was completely stunned when she saw that Xiang Li could actually materialize herself in physical form.

This is impossible?!

It is because a spirit entity is called a spirit entity because they are all restricted and bounded to a cultivator, a place or an object.

But seeing is believing because she had seen Xiang Li taking on a physical form.

Because of this, her interests in the other cultivators had quickly dropped.

Moreover she was also quite moved by his songs as well. She had never felt such a moving song before especially from a cultivator with a pure soul rating of 10.

Among all the cultivators in this trial, Ji Yuan's soul rating was the purest.

But she was soon rolling her eyes as she thought, "But his actions are definitely impure…"

She really did not know whether to laugh or cry at this Ji Yuan…

"You are the trial spirit, am I right?" A sweet voice was suddenly giggling behind.

This gave the spirit young maiden a great startled as she quickly turned around and was astonished once more because Xiang Li had suddenly appeared in her spatial space!

"How did you manage to come into my spatial space…"

It was impossible for a spirit entity to leave the owner and to enter her spatial space…

Xiang Li giggled, "It has actually taken me several days of hard work to find your spatial space in the Jade Mansion. It is really not easy at all."

The spirit young maiden looked intently at Xiang Li before she chuckled too, "I didn't have any company for such a long time. What brings you here?"

Xiang Li replied, "I'm just wondering who you are. Your trial is causing my Big Brother a big headache. He is as poor as a desert."

The spirit young maiden smiled, "This is a trial and an S Trial. It is none of my business if he is incapable of overcoming it."

"My name is Xiang Li. What about yours?" Xiang Li asked all of a sudden.

The spirit young maiden was startled by Xiang Li's answer. "Um, I'm Anyang Xiayou."

Xiang Li giggled. "I shall call you Anyang then?"

"Whatever." The spirit young maiden hummed. "Why are you here? You're playing a dangerous game by coming into my spatial space. Do you know that I can seal you in my spatial space and I can even cause your owner to receive a bad backlash hence affecting his performance in the trial?"

To prove it, she immediately raised her fingers to form dozens of spirit seals that had instantly surrounded Xiang Li now.

"What is this?" Xiang Li asked as she used her fingers to pop at the spirit seals, destroying them instantly.

The spirit young maiden: …

"You're trying my patience."

Immediately she had reformed her spirit seals and she had immediately attacked Xiang Li.

But to her astonishment, her spirit seals had no effect upon Xiang Li as though Xiang Li was just air.

"Who are you? You're a superior trial spirit?"

Xiang Li chuckled, "I don't know if I am a superior trial spirit or not but I am indeed a trial spirit in the past."

The spirit young maiden was blinking blankly at Xiang Li; it was obvious to her that Xiang Li was indeed a superior trial spirit and spirit entity.

She was powerful enough to host an S Rank Trial and she considered herself a superior trial spirit by the standards of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth but this Xiang Li seemed to be an SSS Trial Spirit.

However there was a little problem with her analysis; no SSS Trial Spirit is known to exist accordingly to her memories.

Spirit entities follow a strict hierarchy unlike the cultivators. While it is not impossible for a cultivator to defeat a higher realm cultivator with superior profound arts, skills and tactics but the world of spirit entities are different; a less superior spirit entity cannot suppress a more superior spirit entity even in their own spatial space.

The spirit young maiden could only mutter weakly, "Then what do you want with me here?"

"Anyang, I am just curious who you're." Xiang Li giggled. "Why don't we become friends?"

The spirit young maiden was truly caught by surprise by Xiang Li's answer. "Um, friends?"

A trial spirit had always led a lonely life and had no friends.

"What the point of becoming friends when you will be leaving the trial soon?" The spirit young maiden hummed coldly. "Or are you trying to help your master?"

Xiang Li giggled. "Hmm…does my master need help from me? I am useless to him and he agrees too."

The spirit young maiden: …

She had really never seen Ji Yuan using Xiang Li as his spirit animus though.

Xiang Li asked curiously, "Why do you need so many spirit stones for?"

The spirit young maiden hummed, "Fancy that you are a superior spirit entity, why did you ask me such a no brainer question for? We are all trial spirit entities and we need the cultivation resources of the cultivators to create new cultivation resources and to evolve ourselves."

Xiang Li giggled, "I've never thought of charging the cultivators. I used to collect the cultivation resources of the dead cultivators."

"That is because you are not as smart as me." The spirit young maiden smiled proudly. "That is why I am able to evolve myself so fast. If you wait for the cultivators to die before collecting their cultivation resources, it may never happen."

With another smile, she added. "Therefore you are not as smart as me. You're probably older than me by a lot and I bet that it has taken you a long time to get to your current position now."

Xiang Li asked curiously, "So after you've evolved but you are still the trial spirit of a bigger trial. Isn't it not fun?"

The spirit young maiden chuckled. "It is better than abandoning your trial to follow a cultivator, am I right? Once a cultivator is dead, you will also be dead as well. I am eternal but you are not."

"Rubbish! My Big Brother will live forever." Xiang Li declared proudly.

The spirit young maiden smiled. "Even an immortal will die and some have even become a trial spirit here because they refuse to believe that they will die. It is better to be a trial spirit in the first place than anything else."

Xiang Li giggled. "But I heard from my Big Brother's friends that a bad guy is coming to extract the artifact core of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth. Once that happens, won't you be dead?"

The spirit young maiden muttered, "Nonsense. The Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth is eternal. The artefact core of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth is an SS Trial spirit. It is impossible to extract it."

Xiang Li giggled. "Maybe. Maybe not. Well, I am leaving now. Please to meet you!"

"You're leaving so soon?" The spirit young maiden gasped all of a sudden.

"I can't leave?" Xiang Li asked curiously.

"Didn't you say that we can become friends?" The spirit young maiden said shyly. "Then why are you leaving so early?"

She was indeed very lonely from years of loneliness and she was really surprised that Xiang Li would be able to breech her spatial space to visit her.

"Well Anyang, I guess that we can be friends." Xiang Li giggled. "Let me tell you all about my Big Brother and the trials that I've hosted."

The spirit young maiden rolled her eyes, "Who wants to hear about your Big Brother? He looks lewd…"

Xiang Li giggled. "How do you know if he is lewd if you haven't been spying on him?"

The spirit young maiden refused to answer Xiang Li but she asked instead. "How come your Big Brother has a second sword spirit? I can't figure it out."

Xiang Li began to ponder. "You mean she? She is also a trial spirit here. She says she used to be my best friend but I've no memories of her. But I think that she is awakening soon."

The spirit young maiden by the name of Anyang Xiayou was astonished. "She gives up an eternal life of being a trial spirit to be bonded with a cultivator? This is madness."

Xiang Li giggled as she asked her, "Will you like to join us as well?"

"No way! Plus there is no way for a cultivator to host so many spirit entities. There will be a backlash for him for sure." Anyang Xiayou pointed out. "Plus your master looks like a simpleton. I don't want to become a simpleton as well by joining him."

Xiang Li giggled jovially, "My Big Brother is indeed a simpleton but I like him because of this."

"Why do you like a simpleton? Or are you a simpleton as well?" Anyang Xiayou giggled.

Xiang Li giggled as she covered her face with her palms, "Uh no. Big Brother is too awesome."

"Why is he awesome?" Anyang Xiayou chuckled.

Xiang Li winked back at her, "Because he bangs many beautiful maidens."

Anyang Xiayou: …

Slowly she asked, "What's that got to do with you? You will be extinguished once he is gone anyway."

Xiang Li answered with great earnest, "I'm going to marry my Big Brother."

Anyang Xiayou smiled weakly, "But you're a spirit entity…"

"But I've a physical body now." Xiang Li giggled.

Anyang Xiayou muttered weakly, "How did you get your physical body?"

This was something that she was really interested in.

Xiang Li reached out her slender hand as she smiled. "I am too lazy to explain. Why don't you touch my hand to know my experiences?"

Spirit entities do have a way to exchange their memories in this manner.

Anyang Xiayou was half-amused as she reached out to touch Xiang Li's hand.

But she was soon gasping with shock as she stared at Xiang Li; the part about Xiang Li obtaining her physical body was not important compared to the fact that she is the Goddess' Tear. Xiang Li is the matriarch of all the spirit entities!

Anyang Xiayou suddenly had a change of heart as she asked Xiang Li with great earnest, "How do I join you?"

Xiang Li pondered for a while before she giggled, "My Big Brother has a spare immortal-step divine sword. You can make that divine sword your dwelling place. As long as that divine sword is not destroyed, you can live forever."

Anyang Xiayou gasped nervously, "But a spirit entity can never leave their trials. We're all bounded by the spirit laws…"

But all of a sudden she was staring at Xiang Li, "But you're different. The spirit laws will not be able to bind you and you can bend it. Can you do it?"

Xiang Li giggled, "Is it so hard? I can try if you're willing to be my friend."

Anyang Xiayou began to nod excitingly, "If you are able to do it then we can surely become best of friends."
