The Romantic Cultivator



When Ling Feiyue had finished her fight in the battle arena and was back to her team, Ji Yuan had rushed to her to hug her tightly.

"Feiyue…"

Ling Feiyue chuckled softly, "What is wrong with you? Is my sword domain strong?"

Ji Yuan laughed, "Strong, strong!"

Ling Feiyue hummed as she pushed him away, "Lies!"

Ji Yuan laughed as he went after her.

Chu Lixue simply smiled to Ling Feiyue, "Not bad. Next is my turn."

The two of them had actually seen each other trump cards already but they were still competing for a beautiful finish.

Ling Feiyue had actually acquired her sword spirit in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and she was not quite a sword saintess when compared to Ji Yuan or Chu Lixue.

But when she had acquired her sword domain in the Demonic Divine Realm, she was now considered to be a true sword saintess now even though she had not passed the cleansing of the sword saint spirit.

That was why her sword play was still focus on profound power rather than the ruthless sword energies that were being displayed by Ji Yuan or Chu Lixue.

Xiao Muhan asked Chu Lixue nervously, "Erm, so it is our turn next?"

He was referring to Bu Danwang and himself. 

He had heard of Ling Feiyue the Dark Mistress' renown but he had never heard of the renown of the Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue.

Chu Lixue winked divinely at Xiao Muhan and Bu Danwang, "Yes, it is up to the 3 of us now for the third fight."

Xiao Muhan and Bu Danwang were both muttering, "This is going to be a hard fight…"

For the sake of impressing such a coquettish and divine maiden like Chu Lixue who was always smiling coyly, they were forced to accept their manly tribulations in this trial.

After all, it was their turn next and they had the benefits of numbers.

But Ji Yuan knows that numbers actually did not really matter when fighting against a powerful profound monster, especially a 7th rank profound monster.

He also knows that his Senior Sister Chu Lixue had no intention to involve Xiao Muhan or Bu Danwang in the 3rd round of battle but he had kept quiet about this; he just enjoyed the frightful look that was on Xiao Muhan.

Well Brother Xiao Muhan, you shouldn't have joined the trial in the first place. I'm sure that Divine Consort Sun Dingjun would be willing to move the spirit contract with you if I ask her to do so and you don't have to join the trial as a champion. But I know that you are just trying to impress Maiden Flower Ju. You are just so lucky that you got me to cover for you or you'd have died 10 times over.

In the Divine Temple of the Snowy Pavilion City.

Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing were pleased that Ling Feiyue had overcome her battle.

But it was not the only thing that pleased them.

It was because there were also Shui Xisi, the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu and Zhi Jiugong that were also fighting their other battles too.

As Zhi Jiugong was their Ancient Matriarch of their celestial sect, naturally they were rooting for her.

Zhi Jiugong had displayed her zither as her divine weapon and as she whirled around the profound beast that she was fighting and her music seemed to have caused a disturbing annoyance to it. 

But her annoying music soon turned into multiple bursts of profound energies as it exploded upon the profound beast, attacking its inflexible points.

The profound beast tried to attack Zhi Jiugong but it would always miss; it was because it already got confused and it was not even attacking the true position where she was. 

Needless to say, the profound beast was slowly being slaughtered by Zhi Jiugong. 

As for Shui Xisi, she was much more direct. 

She simply rushed headlong into the profound beast with her profound aura and sundered it apart with her power profound attack.

As the sister of Saintess Fang Zhenfei or Xia Jiajia, they were both the true daughters of the Great Goddess Celestial Alice, the former ruler of the Ninth Heavens Immortal Realm. 

And like her sister, she too possessed the phoenix bloodline and several trump cards that she would not use unless she had no other choice. 

A mere 7th rank profound beast was definitely just a play for her. 

As for the Lovely Empress, like Zhi Jiugong, they were both the core protégés of the Death God Mingwang and she was not weak, especially since she was a peaked great saintess. Moreover, she her talent was stronger than even her Senior Sister Zhi Jiugong.

With just a dozen punches with her heaven-step divine sword, she had already wounded the 7th rank profound beast that she was fighting with, into a panic. 

Her loveliness was like the divine smile of the Smiling Divine Maiden, it did not cease even when the 7th rank profound beast was in a rage. 

Instead, she had gracefully slaughtered the profound beast with a most coyly look manner as though she was just an innocent maiden.

The second round of battle saw many teams winning. 

It was mainly because there were much more stronger champions in the second battle and also because many of them were great saints and great saintess.

¼ of the champions were actually spiritas champions and they were not the 7th Spirit Realm; so the battle was actually hard for them against a 7th rank profound beast.

Although they were stronger than a same cultivation realm celestial champion but the difference between a 6th and 7th cultivation realm were like heaven and the earth.

The same could be said too for the middle-tier saints and the great saint level. The disparity between these two small boundaries were actually like the heavens and the earth, with the great saint being twice as powerful in their profound attacks.

That was a reason why even Ling Feiyue could not master her most powerful Flying Spirits Sword until she could become a great saintess. Many of the most powerful and secretive profound arts of a celestial sect have to wait until they could become the great sacred saint level in order to have a chance to comprehend its cultivation mysteries.

There were still ¼ of the great saints that got killed during the second round of battle though.

It was because even among the great saints, there were still a huge disparity between their cultivation and martial strengths. 

But most teams with at least a great saint was able to overcome their second battle easily.

Shui Xisi, Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu were all peaked great saintesses and they were all powerhouses among the seventh sacred saint level. Fighting against a powerful 7th rank profound beast may be difficult to one normal saint cultivator or even a normal great saint but it was all too easy for them.

Even though Ji Yuan was restricted to only seeing his own team battle and could not see the other maidens' battles but he was confident that his Senior Sister Chu Lixue would be able to win the next battle easily, unless it was different. 

Xu Yifei noticed that Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing were showing particular interest in some of the battle imageries so she asked curiously, "You know them?"

Yu Jingjing smiled, "Yeah! Some of them are with Ji Yuan too!"

Tang Manni and the other divine consorts had also overheard Yu Jingjing. 

There was a look of envious in the eyes of Xu Yifei and the other divine consorts. 

Xu Yifei smiled gently, "They are really very beautiful maidens. How I envy them..."
