The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan was now staring coldly at the Death God Mingwang. Without a doubt, he knew that the Death God Mingwang was here to take away his life.

But luckily, he had just made a new 'Brother' out of Hua Yingxiong. With more than twenty top cultivators supporting him, he felt a little confident now.

He was even thinking; with hundreds of cultivators that are here, possibly even thousands in the vicinity, if you dare to display your desolate might then you're dead meat.

Cultivators with the desolate profound force are an enemy to all the cultivators in the Celestial Realm. At least, according to most accounts since cultivators with the desolate profound force are rarely encountered.

"Qianfeng, Sisi. I need your support. The rest of you step back." Ji Yuan said solemnly.

Ling Feiyue said unhappily. "I can also help…"

"No but!" Ji Yuan raised his voice to say firmly.

Ling Feiyue was startled and so were the other maidens; they had never seen Ji Yuan raised his voice before and this was the first.

Even if the maidens have frequently face-slapped him, he will often maintain his good-nature smiles.

This time Ji Yuan was really, really very serious.

"Count on me." Sisi replied with equally solemnness.

Bai Qianfeng said, "Ji Yuan is right. This foe here is a most dangerous foe."

But she was rolling her golden eyes to Ling Feiyue to indicate to her that she can be a good support to Ji Yuan when necessary.

As she had said that, she had also released her two spirit pets and they had transformed into their true size, two seventh rank profound beasts, stunning all the onlookers!

The very reason why Ji Yuan had wanted the rest of the maidens to step back was because he knows how dangerous this Death God Mingwang is; he had almost lost his life in his previous battle against him and he also knows that the Death God Mingwang is able to display his profound might to the ninth cultivation realm. Moreover this is not a clone.

Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi are not only peaked great saintesses but they are also super cultivators. Ji Yuan knows that they are not weak. Moreover he also knows that Sisi still have several hidden trump cards, including an immortal-step divine sword.

He doesn't know that Sisi actually has a saint-step divine sword.

As for Hua Yingxiong, he was staring blankly at the Death God Mingwang's black scythe and was shocked; this is an immortal-step divine weapon!

Yet, another influential cultivator with a lofty background has just appeared…

Today must be his most unlucky day…

The Death God Mingwang said coldly behind his mask as he looked into Ji Yuan's direction, "You're just lucky enough to escape from my sword arrays the last time. Unfortunately, I've your combat profile now and you won't be twice lucky against me."

He pointed at the maidens behind Ji Yuan, "Dark Mistress Ling Feiyue from the Spirit Blue Moon Sect, Little Princess from the Evil Cultivation Palace or should I say formerly…"

Then he paused at Shui Xisi as though he could see her behind her curtain veils before saying coldly, "You are worthy to fight me…"

He stopped at Bai Qianfeng again, "You're most worthy."

Hua Yingxiong bowed with his hands to Ji Yuan and the Death God Mingwang, "I am most unworthy here. Since the two of you are old acquaintances, I shall take my leave now. I wish everyone the best of luck for your trials. Farewell!"

Without waiting for Ji Yuan and the Death God Mingwang to respond, Hua Yingxiong and his group had quickly taken leave!

Ji Yuan was startled…

This Hua Yingxiong is full of hot air and totally unreliable. So much for this new 'brother'.

He was now getting anxiety attacks as he put on a brave front, "Hehe! I don't need any cannon fodders or someone else to get into my way here. Say, how about a man to man fight?"

He did not want to risk his beloveds and that was why he was now trying to divert the fight to a one on one.

"Ji Yuan, no!"

"We will fight alongside with you!"

"My lord, we will not accept this decision of yours!"

All the maidens were panicky saying and they had all unsheathed their divine swords in a great show of solidarity!

The Death God Mingwang laughed coldly, "Even though I want to fight with you today but today isn't a good time. How about we have a short truce just for this trial instead?"

Ji Yuan almost wanted to taunt him with, 'are you a coward? Are you scared?' But he quickly restrained himself lest it backfired upon him.

Instead he asked curiously, "Why? You're giving up such a good opportunity to kill me?"

The Death God Mingwang hummed coldly, "That is because you have the Escape Talismans. I don't want to waste my strength and time to kill someone who can escape in the next instant."

Ji Yuan smiled weakly; he was actually thinking of using the Escape Talisman if things go south…

"However there is a condition to my truce. I want to have a little chat with one of your friends here." The Death God Mingwang said as he looked at Bai Qianfeng at the same time.

Ji Yuan clenched his grips on his divine swords, "You can say it here." But silently he was cursing, how dare you even have any designs on my woman. And his fighting spirit rose to its peak.

No one can touch his women while he is around! Not ever!

The Death God Mingwang hummed coldly as he turned away before his image vanished in the dark mountains, "It is done."

"So fast?!" Ji Yuan was startled. He did not even see a single conversation that was being exchanged…

But all of a sudden he saw that the lips of Bai Qianfeng were moving and he realized that they had communicated via the Divine Whispering Profound Skill Art.

Ji Yuan turned to Bai Qianfeng to mutter weakly, "What did he say to you?"

Bai Qianfeng said quietly, "He says he knows who I am. And also asks why I chose to assist the Pangu Immortals."

Ji Yuan frowned suspiciously, "That is all?"

Bai Qianfeng quietly looked at Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue, "I am actually a Desolate Immortal Cultivator. My true name is the Abyssal Null Goddess. He seems to already know that I've lost my desolate strength and gained the righteous strength instead. He offers to help me to restore my desolate strength."

Yu Jingjing was startled; she has not known that this 'Sister Qianfeng' here will have such an extraordinary background!

The celestials have studied the arts of cultivation so that they will one day, ascend to the Immortal Realm as Immortals. But here, is one living immortal that walks among the celestials.

As for Feng Minyue, she was less shocked because she had already more or less guessed it; when Bai Qianfeng has tamed the seventh rank desolate profound dragon, she already had her suspicions.

Ji Yuan was startled as he muttered panicky, "Don't…"

"I didn't agree to it and he says that he will let me think for a little while longer." Bai Qianfeng said slowly.

What she did not say is that the Death God Mingwang had offered her a tempting offer; he will spare Ji Yuan if she is to come with him as a Desolate Immortal.

Eon Firmament Mountains, in a white cave;

A blue veiled maiden was now looking at the shimmering portal ahead of her; she is Xia Jiajia.

Behind him was Diviner Mo Ming and his elders, Venerable Elder Ling Fang who had been invited to witness the Dream Trial and a group of astonishing maidens; Hua Wuwu, Hua Baiyue, Ling Tianshui, Xue Qianxue, Zhao Songjin, Fairy Ye Chengxi, Shangguan Yan and Sword Saintess Yuluo.

Venerable Elder Ling Fang and Ling Tianshui were in awe of the Mo Clan; this was their very first visit to the Mo Clan and the Eon Firmament Mountains is considered to be the consecrated land of the Orthodox Fraternity. Normally they would never have a chance to visit this place.

But Venerable Elder Ling Fang had paid 500 million high grade spirit stones to sponsor Jiajia aka the Divine Palace Master of the Hundred Flower Divine Palace. Therefore he had asked for a chance to witness the Dream Trial personally for himself.

Diviner Mo Ming said solemnly, "Are you sure that you want to take the 'Cunning and Ruthless Character' setting?"

Jiajia smiled, "If Ji Yuan can overcome it, I believe I will be able to."

Xue Qianxue smiled weakly, "That is because he has a misguided motivation."

At the mention of Ji Yuan, all the maidens were all smiling; Ji Yuan often did the most unexpected things.

"Mistress, I know that I can't sway your decision but I wish you all the best." Hua Wuwu sighed.

Hua Baiyue bit her lips, "How I wish I can go inside the Dream Trial with you. We're so useless, we can't accompany you or to aid you."

Jiajia laughed gently as she pulled Hua Baiyue and Hua Wuwu into her embrace, "The two of you have already helped me more than enough throughout the years, especially with Ji Yuan."

Then she whispered, "And you've even lost your chastity to this badass."

Hua Baiyue and Hua Wuwu began to giggle all of a sudden.

When they had thought of Ji Yuan, they could not resist a soft chuckle; they had pretended to be his enemy when they had first met him because they did not want him to know that they had been following him since the very start and also to connect the dots that Jiajia was actually the Divine Palace Master.

But after being in Ji Yuan's company for a while, they could not resist his badass charms.

Hua Wuwu held onto Jiajia tightly as she sniffed, "Mistress, you will surely revive Xiao Ruan. We've faith in you."

Hua Baiyue was also nodding melancholy, "And you will restore your cultivation core as well."

Xue Qianxue, Fairy Ye Chengxi, Shangguan Yan, Zhao Songjin and Saintess Yuluo were all nodding with encouraging eyes.

"That's right!" They chorused together.

Jiajia smiled gently as she turned to walk into the shimmering portal.

As she entered into the shimmering portal, she giggled lovingly. "I wonder who is smarter. The trial protagonist or me."

Diviner Mo Ming displayed a heavy sigh after Jiajia had entered into the portal. "Other than that badass good-for-nothing cultivator Ji Yuan, I can't remember another person that has ever passed the most difficult setting."

Venerable Elder Ling Fang smiled weakly, "She has better passed or we can't get her aid to ascend to the Immortal Realm."

Diviner Mo Ming stroked his long beard as he said almost incoherently, "Yea…and the 33 immortal fairies…"

All of a sudden Xue Qianxue gave a soft cry that caused everyone to look at her panicky.

The maidens had all quickly surrounded Xue Qianxue who had broken into cold sweat.

Saintess Yuluo gasped panicky to Diviner Mo Ming, "She is giving birth soon. Quick! Prepare hot water and towels!"
