The Romantic Cultivator

After Ji Yuan had called for Xiang Li and Anyang help to take Mu Wan'Er into his skull ring, he looked a little sheepish.

It was because he was so engrossed in saving his maidens that he had overlooked Li Ye earlier. 

Why didn't he take him inside his skull ring and instead he had asked him to jump down the desolate mists?

He could only lamely murmur, "Li Ye, this is to make you tougher and to be a stronger cultivator…"

With that he had continued on his way as he battled through the evil cultivators.

There was heavy fighting everywhere on the mountains and it was freaking messy but it was also quite easy to identify the evil cultivators as they all donned a black cloak.

As Ji Yuan fought the evil cultivators, he noticed that many of them were only putting on a half-past six fight so he did not slay them as they may be forced to join the side of the Evil Cultivation Palace.

However, he did kill 3 saint cultivators as they put on a determined fight against them and it was obvious to him that they were from the Evil Cultivation Palace as he could sense their murderous killing intentions.

Although their killing intentions were formidable but they were all chopped down by the furious Ji Yuan in a matter of minutes.

There were even two 7 rank profound beasts and their riders that were killed by Ji Yuan as well. 

When the other evil cultivators saw Ji Yuan, many of them actually turned a blind eye to his presence as they chased and fought the other golden celestials. 

Moreover, they could also see that Ji Yuan was being bombarded by the profound ships above and it was suicide to even go near to him. 

The evil cultivators on board the profound ships don't even care if they were killing their own allies.

Ji Yuan soon spotted Ling Feiyue fighting in the steep slopes of the mountains along with some celestials. 

It was really hard to miss her as she was too heavenly beautiful and when she raised her emperor-step divine sword, her long flowing black hair was also dancing along with her.

Ji Yuan had pinpointed her through the faint profound animus of her divine sword even on the other side of the mountain. 

Ling Feiyue and seven other celestials were fighting more than 30 evil cultivators, along with three 7th rank profound beasts and a gigantic golden animus of a powerful warrior that was created by the profound array in the vicinity. 

Their situation was extremely dire and they had almost reached the edge of the mountains where the desolate mists were.

Many of the golden celestials were not foolish enough to fight the evil cultivators and many of them were fighting their way to the edge of the mountains where the desolate mists were, hoping to shake off the evil cultivators and to fight another day.

However, the Evil Cultivation God had already anticipated this and most of the evil cultivators were stationed there. 

Also, numerous profound beasts that were under the control of the Evil Cultivation Palace were also clinging under the desolate mists to ambush the golden celestials that would be attempting to flee from the battle field. 

This forced many of the golden celestials to simply jump off the mountains instead.

In the skies, hundreds of flying riders and flying profound beasts were also encircling the mountains to pick off the golden celestials.

Not to mention that there were numerous profound ships that were firing its profound cannon below.

On the ground, there were hundreds of thousands of evil cultivators.

 Also, there were hundreds of formidable profound arrays that restricted it enemies and the profound arrays could also generate a powerful spirit animus of a gigantic warrior to plummet its enemies.

Ji Yuan's danger sense had already warned him that the profound arrays were not that simple and it was the reason why he had avoided using his powerful profound arts; he was actually right on this. The spirit gigantic warrior could only be created if sufficient profound energies were released in the vicinity.

But at this moment, he didn't care to think much now.

Ling Feiyue was in mortal danger and he had to save her! 

Ji Yuan immediately displayed his Million Swords Sword Domain, unleashing hundreds of profound swords in the direction of the evil cultivators that were attacking Ling Feiyue. 

The evil cultivators were surprised when Ji Yuan had suddenly appeared and they were even more startled by the hundreds of profound swords that were flashing to attack them from so far away.

This was made possible because Ji Yuan had suddenly released his upper 9th realm cultivation. And to add speed to his charge, he had also displayed his desolate cherubim profound animus.

"What the heck is that cultivator?"

"9th realm?! Is he an immortal cultivator?"

"He has spirit wings and is coming in our direction…"

"These profound swords are coming so fast…"

But it was already too late when they saw Ji Yuan flashing down upon them.

Hundreds of profound swords massacred all the evil cultivators and the profound beasts, ripping them to pieces as though they were like tofu.

Under the profound might of a 9th realm cultivator, these evil cultivators simply did not have any chance against Ji Yuan. 

Even though there were 4 great saints among the evil cultivators but under the barrage of profound swords that were created by Ji Yuan's sword domain, their most powerful profound arts were quickly destroyed and even their profound defenses were also penetrated. 

Only death awaited them because they had tried to lay their hands on Ling Feiyue.

Ji Yuan also destroyed the profound array in this vicinity with his sword domain as he sent hundreds of his profound swords to impale and exploded the ground. 

This in turn caused the spirit animus of the gigantic warrior to dematerialize as it swung its formidable and unstoppable golden hammer against Ling Feiyue. 

Since Ji Yuan was forced to display his powerful trump card, he also took the opportunity to kill a dozen riders and profound beasts in the skies above him. 

The profound ships above him were too far for him to hit with his profound swords or else he would have tried to attack too. 

The timely arrival of Ji Yuan had saved Ling Feiyue and the other seven celestials who were all looking quite relieved at Ji Yuan.

The other 7 celestials had actually recognized Ji Yuan as Sword Saint Ji Yuan but they did not know that he was a 9th realm cultivator and so they were greatly astonished.

Some of them had actually witnessed Ji Yuan's feat in killing a 8th rank metamorphosis profound beast before he had entered the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and he was already a hero in some of their hearts. 

Moreover, they were astonished to witness a powerful sword domain that had just been displayed. 

"Senior, please accept our gratitude!"

They did not even dare to address him by his name or as Sword Saint Ji Yuan anymore! 

Ling Feiyue stared at Ji Yuan, "When did you become a 9th rank immortal cultivator?"

Ji Yuan laughed softly, "It is a long story."

Ling Feiyue smiled coyly at him, "I am quite touched that you have actually used your most powerful sword domain to come to my aid."

Ji Yuan display a weak smile and he was thinking: Actually, my Dividing One Sword is now my most powerful sword art now.

But he quickly said to Ling Feiyue, "Let's talk later. I got a feeling that I got marked now and we need to move away from the firing range of the profound ships that are above us…"

All of a sudden, he was interrupted by the sight of a flotilla of 50 profound ships that had suddenly appeared in another direction and these profound ships were firing at the Evil Cultivation Palace and the profound ships that were with it.

The reason why he was startled was because he had recognized the blue profound ship of Saintess Fang Zhenfei from among the 50 profound ships.

"Can it be that some of my maidens are still alive after all?!"
