The Romantic Cultivator

When the golden outline of the Great Beyond Goddess had appeared, everyone was forced to bend on the ground and had to use their hands to support themselves due to the oppressing pressure that was sweeping upon everyone.

Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress were both secretly whispering to Ji Yuan, "Since you keep saying that you are the True Devil God, then this time you are surely dead…"

It was not without reason that they were saying this to Ji Yuan.

It was because these two maidens along with Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng were with Ji Yuan in the Goddess Star Palace and they saw the canvas imageries on the ceiling that were in each room; the canvas imageries had almost all depicted an eternal battle between the True Devil God and the Great Beyond Goddess.

Therefore, they had reasons to believe that the Great Beyond Goddess was here today to kill the True Devil God Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan who was the only one who could decipher the true meanings of the canvas imagery in the Goddess Star Palace whispered back to them, "I don't think it is the real reason…"

The real reason was because he had dared to kiss Dream Mist and even touched her. 

Another reason was probably because he had freed Old Reverend Beiyuan and Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing from the Star Goddess Palace. Because of this, he had offended the Great Beyond Goddess.

Shui Xisi reminded him by whispering, "And you have stolen the true divinity sword of the True Devil God from the Goddess Star Palace."

Ji Yuan covered his face with great awkwardness.

Come to think of that, he seemed to have offended the Great Beyond Goddess in many ways.

The Lovely Empress whispered, "We are not supposed to enter the Goddess Star Palace too as that place isn't the trial area."

Ji Yuan had suddenly remembered that was the trial that he had ranked at the bottom, resulting in his worse result ever in the trial of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

He muttered weakly, "Don't remind me of this." 

He had decided to rewrite that part in his biography if he survived today's encounter with the Great Beyond Goddess. This was too awkward to his face that he had actually ranked last in the trial. But then, he was not supposed to be able to write his trial details anyway so no one would really know if he scored last or first. 

While Ji Yuan and his maidens together with the Great Immortal Rohan and his group were guilty about facing the Great Beyond Goddess as they were afraid of a possible heavenly calamity that would happen to them out of the blue, most of the common cultivators were actually feeling quite excited as they had never heard of the Great Beyond Goddess appearing in the Celestial Realm before; to them, this was a historical event and they viewed it mostly as a good sign. 

However, there were also many of the common cultivators that had made an oath in the name of the Great Beyond Goddess as witness and they were now feeling extremely guilty.

As a matter of fact, they could feel that their cultivation cores were cracking up because of their false oaths and the sudden appearance of the Great Beyond Goddess had caused their false oaths to experience a terrible backlash in their cultivation core.

A celestial cultivator had suddenly died; he was an elder of a minor cultivation sect and he had sworn to his sect leader in the name of the Great Beyond Goddess just yesterday that he had never betrayed any secrets of his cultivation sect while he was taken prisoner. 

He was quickly followed by the deaths of several more cultivators that had sworn by the name of the Great Beyond Goddess. 

"They made a false oath in the name of the Great Beyond Goddess and hence their cultivation core is now suffering a severe backlash…"

Ji Yuan gulped as he frantically tried to remember if he had made a false oath by any chance. 

The Great Beyond Goddess's profound voice was now echoing with a soft sigh, "Ji Yuan…" 

Ji Yuan was startled as the Great Beyond Goddess was specially naming him and his throat ran dry. 

She continued, "Ji Yuan, thanks to you that the diabolic plans of the Great Demon God to take over the Celestial Realm has been foiled. The way to the celestial immortal realm is once again opened…"

The celestial immortal realm was naturally referring to the Nine Heavens or the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

"Your Celestial Realm is under the judication of your Celestial Immortals or the Pangu Immortals of the Nine Heavens. By right, I should not have manifested here and moreover, I am bounded to my Great Beyond Realm. This manifestation that you are seeing now is merely my spirit projection…"

Yun Chi was thinking: In the past, I've thought that the Great Beyond Goddess is probably at the peak of the 10th Immortal Realm. I was so wrong after I had witnessed Dream Mist manifested the profound power of the Great Beyond Goddess. If the Great Beyond Goddess really descends, even a half-step true divinity like myself won't be able to take it. Just her spirit projection is enough to suppress me so completely…

Ji Yuan was also thinking: What is her cultivation realm again? 12th realm? What type of cultivation realm is the 12th realm? I can't even imagine the 10th or the 11th realm cultivation…

The Great Beyond Goddess continued to echo, "But today I will be making an exception for you, Ji Yuan by manifesting here today because you are after all, my grand protégé…"

Ji Yuan was startled: The Great Beyond Goddess has actually acknowledged me?! 

Old Reverend Beiyuan was his cheap master after he had helped him to escape from the Goddess Star Palace.

The thousands of cultivators that had gathered were also greatly startled and this included the Great Immortal Rohan, the Goddess Alyssa, the Immortal Fairy Lucia and many other immortals; they were all startled and shocked that Ji Yuan is the grand protégé of the Great Beyond Goddess! 

The Great Beyond Goddess continued to echo, "The Great Demon God Hong Meng is a powerful half-step divinity and he had sealed the Celestial Realm to the higher realms with his profound might. Not even I can intervene as long as his profound arrays aren't destroyed with the Great Desolate Divine Palace. However even if there are no profound arrays that have sealed off the Celestial Realm from the higher realms, I cannot intervene directly as the true gods of the Six Divine Realms all have their own destinies. My true battle is elsewhere, against the void creatures of the darkness from the Great Beyond…"

Then she seemed to smile as she said, "Ji Yuan, the Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei is your senior sister. So you have better treated her nicely."

It was not only Ji Yuan but the others as well who were all shocked by this revelation.

Xu Yifei nodded quietly as she said to Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er, "I'm sorry that I've kept this from the two of you and the others. The Great Beyond Goddess had asked me to keep this a secret."

Ji Yuan thought awkwardly: I am actually quite nice to my new Senior Sister Xu Yifei. I've banged her. I've better don't let the Great Beyond Goddess knows about this or else I'll be struck dead…

The Great Beyond Goddess continued, "Ji Yuan, there is another reason for my manifestation. And that is to grant you a question. You can ask me any question, even cultivation questions or how to ascend as an immortal. Or even a future event. As long as I am able to answer, I'll answer it for you. Although I cannot intervene directly but I can answer a question for you. So, think carefully before you ask me the question."

Shui Xisi could not resist a whisper to Ji Yuan, "Ask her how many maidens you will have in total."

Ji Yuan: …

Ling Feiyue whispered to Ji Yuan, "Ask her if you will live or die in your next battle with the Great Demon God…"

Ji Yuan: …
