The Romantic Cultivator



Three hours had passed and Ji Yuan had finally finished with his account on his battle with the Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong.

His epic recounting was not as epic as he had wanted to imagine it to be.

And the reason why it had taken him so long to finish was also because the Goddess Ai Tina was constantly interrupting him to ask him questions about his profound sword arts.

"How does this Sword Domain works?"

"What is the name of this Sword Domain?"

"You can only use this Sword Domain only once?"

"Isn't this Life and Death Domain a dangerous sword art that require you to use your life force energies?"

"How did you feel when the Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong uses his attack spirit talismans on you?"

And more.

"So you are not just a sword saint but a sword deity with 4 Sword Domains. What a huge surprise." The Goddess Ai Tina smiled captivatingly at him.

"You're indeed worthy to be my personal guard of honor."

Ji Yuan smiled awkwardly, "Haha, like I say it is just a fluke. I was just lucky. This Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong is actually really very strong and I have only won because he was not familiar with my sword domains."

Throughout his recounting, Ji Yuan had actually tried to paint himself as weak as possible.

"I was faltering back then…"

"It is a contest of willpower…"

"Without the 5 divine consorts lending their presence as support for me, I wouldn't have won…"

"The Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong got careless…"

"He didn't know that I have 4 Sword Domains…"

"Or two emperor-step divine swords…"

"Or two sword spirits…"

Ji Yuan saw that this Goddess Ai Tina merely smiled but she did not look too impressed with his 4 Sword Domains which could awe most cultivators. 

However, the 5 divine consorts did not think of that as too much of an issue because their Goddess Ai Tina is all too-powerful immortal in their minds. But they were certainly impressed by Ji Yuan and it showed on their beautiful countenances.

But Ji Yuan saw it differently; this Goddess Ai Tina must have at least 1 trump card that could counter him or defeat him. That was the reason why she appeared to be nonchalantly.

Ji Yuan is no stranger to immortal cultivators. 

It is because his beloved Bai Qianfeng and long-time companion is the Abyssal Null Goddess and she was not awe by him. In fact, she was the one that forced him to pick up a Sword Domain in the Demonic Divine Realm by using her immortal cultivation to aid him to lay down an immortal sword array to aid him to become a sword immortal.

Also, there is Yun Chi as well who is the Death God Mingwang.

They are not impressed with him because they can much stronger than him anyway and he owes his desolate cherubim spirit animus to Yun Chi as a matter of fact.

And they want him to become even stronger. 

But Ji Yuan knows that he still got a long way to go before he can even fight these two superior immortals on an even ground.

It freaks him to this day when he had suddenly realized how powerful a great goddess his Bai Qianfeng was in the Demonic Divine Realm when she was no longer restricted in her cultivation profound strength. 

And to think that he had once tried to skin her alive when she was his spirit fox pet for some spirit stones.

The Goddess Ai Tina had now turned to smile wryly at Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei, "I have heard that you are supposed to ascend 500 years ago. So, what exactly happens and why did you fall from grace? This is most unfortunately or else you would surely be one of my most capable immortal divine consorts in the Greater Spirit Realm."

She neglected to say: One of her most captivating and enticing immortal divine consort to serve the 6 Supreme Divine Gods in the Greater Spirit Realm. Perhaps even the most favored until another divine consort with a special constitution has come along in the future.

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei was startled by this question but she quickly composed herself to look in the eyes of the Goddess Ai Tina and the other 4 divine consorts.

This was her darkest secret for the past 500 years and not even her sister was aware of what she had sensed on that day. 

At that time, she had rather given up on the bestowed spiritual strength from the Greater Divine Realm and gave up her chance for ascension. 

There was a price though for this and it was a strong backlash to her own soul core, crippling her cultivation in the progress. 

From that day onward, Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei had become Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei and she had become a mockery in the entire 12 major city-states in the Northern Alliance Theology Olympiad.

But now, the Goddess Ai Tina was here. 

Maybe she should really share her misgiving on that day?

But all of a sudden, she had remembered what her Great Mistress the Great Beyond Goddess had told her, "You are not wrong in not ascending. That is all that I can tell you."

She lifted her enticing eyes to answer, "I was too young back then and too proud of myself. So, my cultivation realm is no as stable as what the rumors have said. For this I have misjudged myself and only myself to blame for this."

The Goddess Ai Tina looked at her to sense if there were any slight fluctuations in her emotions or heartbeat but there were none.

Ji Yuan was able to mask his emotions and heartbeats with his Divine Heart Intricacy while Xu Yifei was able to hide her giveaways with her superior spirit cultivation. 

So, the Goddess Ai Tina smiled wryly, "It is alright. Now you have got another chance. I can even grant you a special exception too."

  Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei quickly returned a half-bow and said quietly, "I have mentioned before to the other 4 divine consorts and even the rest of the 36 divine consorts from the other city-states that I won't be joining the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower this time round."

The Goddess Ai Tina smiled, "This won't do. A divine consort with a special spirit constitution like yourself only exist to serve me in the Greater Spirit Realm. Therefore, my divine decree is for you to go to the Spiritas Tower."

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei was startled and there was a look of confusion in her enticing eyes, "But I have no champions too…"

"That's easy." The Goddess Ai Tina had suddenly looked at Ji Yuan, "My personal guard of honor shall be your champion in the Spiritas Tower."

Ji Yuan: …

Did someone ask me for my opinion?

But he could only bitterly smile: We are all played by this Goddess Ai Tina…

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei was gasping softly, "My champion is Master Ji Yuan…"

The other 4 divine consorts were all gasping with the same shocking sentiment that Ji Yuan would be a champion for the Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei.

However, none of them were jealous of her and was in fact, happy for her instead.

Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er was even smiling, "Maybe this time our Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei may even ascend to the Greater Spirit Realm to be an immortal divine consort."

Even Divine Consort Xin were laughing softly, "With our Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan to help her, she can definitely be able to ascend to the Greater Spirit Realm. However, I am not going to lose my place to ascend and I think I have several good champions to represent me."

Divine Consort Sun Dingjun looked a little sheepish, "I have Xiao Muhan who is Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan's good brother. But he is not even close to a fighter like his Brother Ji Yuan. I think I should find a more capable champion instead."

When she had said that, this invoked a soft chuckle from the other 3 divine consorts.

Only Ji Yuan and Xu Yifei were looking more cool to this. But this was normal since they were the center of the attention.
