The Romantic Cultivator



The whole group was now in Room 25. 

There were 27 portals that could be seen in Room 25; 9 portals on the left, middle and right. 

When Ji Yuan had stepped into Room 25, he could still hear the non-stop whispers that were from Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu.

Shui Xisi was telling the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu as she whispered, "You know, he should be called the most shameless cultivator. The thickness of his skin is thicker than even the hide of a ninth rank desolate beast."

The Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu nodded as she whispered back, "I am in total agreement with you. He is just too shameless!"

Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes and thought with a frown: When did they suddenly become the best of friends now?!

One must know that Shui Xisi had only recently rejoined his group after being separated at the 6th level of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth after some time of absence. (See Chapter 634).

Therefore, she did not exactly know the Lovely Empress, Zhi Jiugong or the Smiling Divine Maiden. And even Yang Min and his Old Master the White Sword Monarch. 

Fairy Xiang Li was giggling to Ji Yuan: Big Brother, they are calling you shameless. You ought to punish them by banging them hard!

Fairy Anyang was face-palmed when she had heard Xiang Li…

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

He frowned silently to Xiang Li and said: Xiang Li, we really need to have talk on your uneducated behavior here. 

Fairy Xiang Li giggled: But isn't this what you want, Big Brother?

Ji Yuan chuckled shamelessly: I am a gentleman of the sword…

Fairy Anyang muttered weakly: Like real…

Ji Yuan had suddenly thought of something and said to them, "Anyang, Xiang Li. Especially Xiang Li who is my most useless best friend. I want the two of you to do something for me…"

Fairy Xiang Li interrupted unhappily: Huh? I am your most useless best friend? 

Ji Yuan ignored Xiang Li and chuckle: To make yourself more useful, the two of you shall study this Golden Natal Divine Pearl and cultivate it for me.

Xiang Li: …

Fairy Anyang muttered with disbelief: This is too shameless. You are not cultivating it on your own?

Ji Yuan laughed in his soul sea: I am a little busy. Since the two of you have the time, why don't you have me to cultivate the Golden Natal Divine Pearl first. Hahaha…

Outside, Shui Xisi was whispering to the Lovely Empress, "Look at Ji Yuan. He must be thinking of something that is shameless again."

The Lovely Empress asked softly, "What shameless stuff again?"

Shui Xisi whispered in a low voice, "Like looking at the butts of Yun Chi and Qianfeng that are in front of him. So don't stand in front of him. He likes to see the swaying butts of beautiful maidens…"

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

I am not deaf you know. Moreover, I have sharp ears as well…

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had quickly interrupted everyone by saying, "So which portals should we take?"

She was pointing to the 27 portals in front of her, dividing into 9 portals on the left, middle and right. 

There was a canvas imagery of the True Devil God (the Boundless Sovereign Demon God) and the Great Beyond Goddess that was at the center. 

But strangely when they were standing on the right, the canvas image would seem to rotate right with the Great Beyond Goddess facing the left side of the portals and the True Devil God facing the right.

But when they were standing on the left, the directions would be reverse. 

Even more strange, when they were in the middle, the canvas imagery did not rotate anymore and the True Devil God's back was at the middle and the Great Beyond Goddess was facing the middle. 

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing explained as she looked at Ji Yuan, "The profound imageries here will get even more intricating and may even appear to be alive from this point onward. It won't be easy at this point and we may even need several trials and errors to find the right portal."

Old Reverend Beiyuan turned to take a hopeful look at Ji Yuan, "Now you see why we have been struck here for so many thousands of years?"

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly to himself: Why are they all looking at me like this? This is tough even for me to decipher…

Old Reverend Beiyuan flashed next to Ji Yuan as he gave him a pat on his shoulder, "Well my genius disciple, so which portal should I take now?"

Ji Yuan blinked his golden eyes as he looked at Old Reverend Beiyuan, "My genius of geniuses master, you're asking me?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan: …

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing: …

Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng: …

Shui Xisi, the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu: …

Ji Yuan could suddenly feel that there were six pairs of eyes that were looking at him and he was awkward all of a sudden…

Old Reverend Beiyuan muttered as he raised his hand into a fist as though he was about to hammer Ji Yuan, "Naturally I am asking you."

How dare this Ji Yuan took his immortal gift and refused to answer him! 

Ji Yuan naturally could sense the killing intents from Old Reverend Beiyuan and he quickly laughed awkwardly, "Wait, wait! I was only kidding just now. Of course, I do have a solution but let me think first. Alright? I have only just arrived at this place…."

He quickly threw a random hint, "It seems that we may have to get into a 69 position in this place first…"

"Where did you get the 6 from?" Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing interrupted Ji Yuan curiously. 

Ji Yuan answered weakly, "Erm…" 

Shui Xisi added with a bitter smile, "I think he may be thinking of something else at this moment…"

Ji Yuan laughed awkwardly, "Hahaha…"

While they were all in the center of the hallway to plan for their next move, suddenly there was a loud thundering sound that shook the entire golden hallway.

4 golden golems had suddenly appeared in 4 different directions!

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had turned ashen and she was shouting, "I'll go left. Old Beiyuan, block the guardian on the far right!"

Then she turned to look at Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng, "The two of you block the middle!"

And she turned around to look at Ji Yuan, the Lovely Empress and Shui Xisi even as she flashed to the far left. "The three of you block the guardian at the entrance. Remember this! We must allow them to merge together, no matter the costs!"

The Lovely Empress panicky asked, "We can hold them back?"

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had already flashed to the far left to do battle with the golden golem but she had raised her profound voice to say sharply. "We can only depend on Celestial Ji Yuan to tell us which portal to take before it is too late."

Ji Yuan had already unsheathed both his saintly divine swords from his scabbard as it transformed into two emperor-step divine swords. "I am suddenly so stressed now…"

Shui Xisi had tapped him on his shoulders as she said solemnly, "Ji Yuan, I'll try to hold the guardian back. You must quickly decipher the message in the canvas imageries for us…"

And when she had said that, she had suddenly unleashed her sword from her belt and there was a golden blink of profound light; it was not any divine sword but an immortal sword! 

Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng had already flashed to the middle and they were astonished by this brilliant golden light. 

But Yun Chi had recognized this golden light and she was gasping, "The immortal sword of the Goddess Celestial Alice. Is she going to unseal it?"

Even the Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing and Old Reverend Beiyuan were startled as they could sense a powerful profound light that was suddenly appearing from Shui Xisi.

Ji Yuan was stunned; Shui Xisi's 'divine' sword is actually more powerful than his two emperor-step divine swords!

He thought further: No, it is not a divine sword but an immortal sword! 

There was a look of wetness in Bai Qianfeng's golden eyes as she recalled the ancient days when she was felled by the Astronomic Eulogy Divine Sword the immortal sword of the Great Goddess Alice, the ruler of the Immortal Divine Realm.
