The Romantic Cultivator

The thousands of cultivators presented was surprised that the Great Beyond Goddess had actually allowed Ji Yuan to ask her a question. 

And they were all secretly pretending to ask her a question such as how to have a 100% chance to ascend as an immortal, how to overcome their current bottleneck to the next realm, and many others including finding profound treasures, cultivation profound arts and inheriting godly bloodlines etc. 

Actually, many of his maidens had wanted Ji Yuan to ask if they would have any children with him but they were too shy to ask him this question. 

Ji Yuan's maidens were more concerned to ask him on their more personal questions with Ji Yuan.

But for Ji Yuan, he was stumbled because he had actually feared for the worst that would happen to him earlier and he did not expect that the Great Beyond Goddess would grant him a question instead. 

In the dangerous world of cultivation, he had ever since developed a danger sense that caused him to have a bad habit of thinking about the worst possible scenarios and he would run first if he could not win.

But against the Great Demon God and some other unique cases, he was forced to fight. It was because in this case, his maidens Little Princess and Xue Qianxue were the Great Demon God's targets and also, he was avenging for his Jiajia.

And also, he could not wait until the Great Demon God was able to fully consolidate his hold in the Celestial Realm and turned the Celestial Realm into his Desolate Celestial Realm.

Ji Yuan inhaled softly as he asked the Great Beyond Goddess, "Will I ever see my Jiajia again?"

After thinking for a while, he finally mustered the courage to ask this question.

When he had asked this question, many of the cultivators were startled that Ji Yuan would ask such a mundane question.

Even the Great Immortal Rohan and the Goddess Alyssa were both shaking their heads as they thought: The Great Beyond Goddess isn't just an ordinary immortal and she won't even know who your Jiajia is. She is but an insignificant ant that she can't even be bothered to track and to know. You ought to have ask her about something more important.

Many of Ji Yuan's maidens were secretly grieved when Ji Yuan had mentioned Jiajia such as Hua Wuwu, Hua Baiyue, Xue Qianxue, Sword Saintess Yuluo, Shangguan Yan, Fairy Ye Chengxi, Ling Tianshui and Shui Qingqing. 

It was not to say that Ling Feiyue and Little Princess were not grieved too but they were less affected than the maidens that were affected as they had fought closely together with the Saintess Fang Zhenfei (Jiajia) for several months while Ji Yuan was inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. 

The Great Beyond Goddess appeared to be startled by Ji Yuan's question and just as everyone had thought that the Great Beyond Goddess would ask Ji Yuan to ask another question by turning him down, she had echoed. "You will see her again."

She said in her heart: You've already seen her now.

Ji Yuan did not seem to be satisfied with this answer so he mustered the courage to ask, "I don't mean that. What if I can see her but she can't remember me as she may have already reincarnated or I see her in the same place but I have somewhere missed her… or, maybe I am dead and reincarnated again and we both can't remember each other…"

When Ji Yuan had said this, many of the cultivators were smiling bitterly; it was because Ji Yuan had combined too many questions at one shot. 

Even Ji Yuan's maidens were fearing for Ji Yuan's life as he had asked too many questions.

Shui Xisi was sweating for Ji Yuan: He really talks too much… he's just a barbarian cultivator that totally disrespects the Great Beyond Goddess…

Even Yun Chi was fearful for Ji Yuan as she sent him a divine whisper, "That's enough already… stop talking…"

But Ji Yuan continued to babble and did not pay attention to Yun Chi's soft voice in his ears. "Will we be together again and we both remembered the past? She will be alive when I found her, right? How can I meet her again?"

Many of Ji Yuan's maidens were all feeling quite awkward that Ji Yuan had actually asked too many questions and they were fearful of a curse that would be visited upon him for offending the Great Beyond Goddess. 

Shui Xisi could not resist whispering to Ji Yuan, "Careful the Great Beyond Goddess may turn you into a mute and you will never again be able to ask another question in your life again. This is not one question but many questions." 

The Great Beyond Goddess did not interrupt Ji Yuan as she waited for him to finish all his questions about Jiajia and finally she echoed from above, "You will meet her again and she will remember you. You will also remember her. The next time that you have met me again is also when you will see your Jiajia again."

Ji Yuan was overjoyed as he quickly asked, "When is this next time? Is it tomorrow, 1 year, 10 years, 100 years or 1000 years?"

The Great Beyond Goddess was indeed dumbfounded by this question as she had been constantly with Ji Yuan, quietly supporting him in his fight against the Great Demon God through Xu Yifei and the Golden Natal Divine Pearl. However, they were separated by their cultivation realms and it was impossible for them to meet for a long time, or even forever. 

It was because she had to anchor herself in the higher plane of the Great Beyond Realm to prevent the void creatures from overrunning the universe. The moment that her real body had left the place, her profound seal would break immediately and chaos will reign in the universe. 

It was not to say that her profound seal was absolute as there were already several powerful void creatures in the universe that were loose from the great void and creating havocs throughout the universe. 

So far, the few remaining void creatures while being powerful could still be contained by the true gods and the godly immortals from the Great Beyond Realm. But it was only because they were just the lowest ranking void creatures. 

Ji Yuan, Yun Chi, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng and the Lovely Empress had encountered one terrifying void creature when they were going to the Goddess Star Palace. They could only watch helplessly as the Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing fought and kill one.

This was also the last thing that the True Devil God had wanted her to do as well. 

The True Devil God was actually not from the Six Divine Realms but he had come from the Great Void and was mistaken as an Abyssal God because that was the first immortal divine realm that he had stepped when he had emerged from the Great Void.

This was a secret that the Great Beyond Goddess had been trying to conceal as she took up the burden of protecting the creations of life from the darkness of the great void.

"Ji Yuan," the Great Beyond Goddess cast away her thoughts. "I can't tell you how long you will meet your Jiajia again but she has never forgotten about you and she is also hoping the same for you as well."

Ji Yuan was overjoyed when he had heard this as he muttered, "Jiajia has never forgotten about me too?" 

The Great Beyond Goddess echoed, "For your dedication to your Jiajia, I have decided to confer you the immortal title of the Romantic God. Your Jiajia will like you to become a romantic cultivator. You have succeeded." 

It was not just Ji Yuan who was shocked but the thousands of cultivators as well! 

Ji Yuan just got an immortal title and he was being conferred personally by the Great Beyond Goddess too! 

Shui Xisi muttered weakly to herself: Why don't give him the title of the Lecherous God instead… now his ego will be inflated…

Ji Yuan's ego had indeed been inflated as he tried to turn to grin at all his maidens but the overwhelming pressure that was upon him had kept his head to bow low with his body.

In front of the thousands of cultivators, he had just got an immortal title and his renown would soon spread up to the Nine Heavens! 

He was the first ever celestial cultivator to be conferred by the Great Beyond Goddess an immortal title and his immortal title was the Romantic God.

Does it mean that he would be a half-step true divinity in the future?

He was now even thinking that he ought to cultivate a little harder now to become a true divinity in the future. 

The truth was, no amount of hard work, cultivation or lucky occurrences can cause anyone to become a true divinity or else there would be millions of true divinity already. This lack of true divinity was explained by many cultivation scholars as the lack of profound energies in the current universe to support the golden era of the old universe where there were many more true divinities. 

But this was not true and only a speculation. And it was also an easier way of explaining things or lazy writing to explain the logic of the universe.

The truth was, it was extremely hard to cultivate beyond the 9th realm cultivation and it required a great deal of heavenly dao. 

Even though Ji Yuan had thought that he could cultivate harder to become a true divinity but the truth was, he was a bad cultivator and he was lazy to cultivate. Another truth was that he had no bottleneck at all and that was why he was able to cultivate rapidly.

In short, his unique constitution as the True Devil God had already destined him to be a 9th realm immortal even if he did not work hard for it. 

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, "Hahahahaha…"

Some of his maidens like Ling Feiyue, Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress actually had an ugly look when they saw that Ji Yuan was laughing so jovially; it was because based on their understanding on Ji Yuan, his ego would soon balloon to an unimaginable consequence.

The Immortal Fairy Lucia had a flushed look as she secretly tried to look into Ji Yuan's direction but there were just too many cultivators that were blocking her view. But she was thinking coyly: He has an immortal title now and also he is a grand protégé of the Great Beyond Goddess. This means that I can be with him and my race won't oppose to it?

Even Ruan Songci was also coquettishly looking in the direction of Ji Yuan with the eyes of a maiden that was in love.

They were not the only ones that were idiocy looking in Ji Yuan's directions; there were hundreds of fangirls as well. 

Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er were looking blissful; they were right to give up everything just to follow Ji Yuan!

The Great Beyond Goddess had suddenly echoed, "I've some more instructions…"
