The Romantic Cultivator

Bai Qianfeng was now saying to Ji Yuan as she pointed at the 1000 over divine swords, "In order to step into the lofty realm of a Sword Immortal and be above all the other cultivators, you must have already stepped on the bodies of countless geniuses in order to reach the pinnacle. These are their swords..."

"Erm, actually I don't remember stepping on so many bodies in order to gather so many divine swords in this place." Interrupted Ji Yuan with a weak chuckle.

"It is alright. I have brought all their divine swords to you so it is still the same thing." Smiled Bai Qianfeng.

Ji Yuan, Ling Feiyue, Zhi Jiugong, the Lovely Empress, the Smiling Divine Maiden and the short old man: ...

They were all thinking: This is a little too lame...

Bai Qianfeng said quietly to Ji Yuan, "Right now, you are the center of this Immortal Sword Array so you must position yourself in the center."

Ji Yuan nodded slowly, "Alright then. I will go to the center and see what I can do."

All of a sudden Bai Qianfeng was holding onto Ji Yuan's hand as she said melancholy, "My lord. You have to be absolute serious in this..."

Ji Yuan: ???

Bai Qianfeng continued with great melancholy, "This is the only thing that I can do for you here in order to defeat the Great Demon God and the Desolate Dragon God. This Immortal Sword Array is created with my 9th cultivation realm profound art and I can only use it here. When I am back to the Celestial Realm, I will not be able to use my 8th or 9th cultivation profound arts anymore. And also, all these divine swords will also be consumed for you to reach your sword awakening. Whether you are able to create your own Sword Domain and be a Sword Immortal depends on your willpower and strength."

Ji Yuan slowly nodded and he was secretly touched by what Bai Qianfeng had done for him; she did all these for him and she had even gone on a secret seclusion just to create this Immortal Sword Array for him. The profound resources that Bai Qianfeng was willing to use for him was simply too great for him to repay with just mere words...

At this moment, the Smiling Divine Maiden was also gently holding onto Ji Yuan's hands as she said quietly. "Ji Yuan. Don't forget that the key to understand your sword intentions lie in your sword spirit and you have two sword spirits! Don't forget about this!"

Ji Yuan looked at the Smiling Divine Maiden and he was also touched; her presence was always enough to arouse a look of gladness in the eyes of the onlookers. And right now, she was holding his hands and encouraging him. Moreover she was also his older protégé sister.

Ling Feiyue, the Lovely Empress and Zhi Jiugong were also surrounding him now and they were looking sentimentally at him.

Ji Yuan laughed awkwardly, "Why are you all looking as though I may die? It is just a breakthrough. Haha..."

The short old man grumbled behind, "Idiot! You even know that this is a breakthrough. If you fail, you may even develop a phenomena deviation, die, become a crippled, wasting your cultivation core, drop in cultivation realm or have multiple afflictions at the same time! So you have better take this seriously or I will lose a good son-in-law!"

Ji Yuan began to smile weakly, "Haha..."

The Lovely Empress could not resist adding for him with a soft chuckle, "That is how you lose your beard, remember?"

Ji Yuan: ...

Ji Yuan: ...

Ji Yuan: ...

I have no more beard to lose except the hair on my hair. Trust me, if I were to lose my hair on my head, I would surely look very ugly...

Finally Ji Yuan had walked to the center of the Immortal Sword Array as everyone watched him.

Bai Qianfeng quietly said, "You can put your immortal scabbard with your two emperor divine swords in front of you. When you are done, I will be activating the Immortal Sword Array for you. May the Great Beyond Goddess bestows her blessings on you."

"Wait a minute!" Ji Yuan had suddenly said as he took out his heaven-step divine sword which had been fully restored by now. "The more swords the better!"

Then he had pierced this heaven-step divine sword in front of him.

He would have thrown out more divine swords but he had long given all his divine swords that he had looted to the cultivators in the lower mortal realm.

Bai Qianfeng said slowly, "Your immortal scabbard is able to gather profound energies all around you. Hence this is the reason why you are able to wield two emperor-step divine swords. I know this is a bit hasty to ask you to envision how to use create a Sword Domain with your immortal scabbard but I believe in my lord."

Ling Feiyue said quietly and her golden eyes were woefully, "Remember this my lord. Your Jiajia is still waiting outside for you!"

Ji Yuan inhaled slowly as he looked at the five maidens slowly before he started to close his eyes; in his heart, he could only say thank you to all of them.

"I am ready!"

Bai Qianfeng nodded as she started to display her profound strength to activate this Immortal Sword Array.

Almost immediately, hundreds of divine swords were all moving at the same time; it started off with the weaker divine swords before the stronger divine swords were also starting to tremble all around Ji Yuan.

Many of the divine swords were also resonating loudly as many of them were now resisting Ji Yuan's call for them to be in unison with him.

Although Ji Yuan's eyes were closed but he could see all the divine swords clearly in his mind. Even the light of their artefact cores was also shining brightly inside his mind.

All the hundreds of divine and daemon swords were all shaking violently to resist Ji Yuan's call; it was because Ji Yuan was never their master in the first place!

In these divine swords' lifetime, they were their masters' beloved and every one of these divine swords had their own lofty pride!

It was just like Ji Yuan had been using the same divine sword for a hundred years now and this divine sword was his one and only because it was given to him by his Jiajia as an engagement token!

There was no way for these divine swords to submit so willingly unless their previous masters were wanton with them.

The few divine swords that had submitted were exactly those because they were unloved or their previous masters had too many divine swords.

Ji Yuan's fore arms had two sword spirits now; it was because Ji Yuan needed his sword spirits to act as a conduit for him to relay his sword intentions as he displayed his life time battles in front of these hundreds of divine swords.

The sword intentions of these divine swords began to chorus immediately.

"Too young!"

"Your sword spirits are too weak!"

"Not fierce enough!"

"Not enough killing malevolent!"

"There are not enough wins in his battles..."

"He seems to lose quite a few of his battles too..."

"He is a loser..."

"I am not following a loser..."

"He needs a divine sword to win his battles for him and now he is begging us to join him to increase his attainment so that he can create a Sword Domain. Fat hope!"

"It is not him that defeat our former masters!"

"Submit to him? Never!"

Ji Yuan was frowning now as he said to these divine swords, "Did I really lose a lot of battles? Are you looking down on me?"

As he frowned, he had a small consolation; at least he got a high level divine sword that had submitted to him and it was a heaven-step divine sword that he had just thrown into the ground.
