The Romantic Cultivator

The next day, Ji Yuan had arrived at the arena with the rest of the maidens.

Like many places of Bliss City, this arena would only open for 3 days at a 2 weeks interval.

Therefore the number of cultivators that were crowding into the arena numbered several thousand cultivators and almost all the cultivators that were in Bliss City were here.

Only roughly 30% of the contestants would usually be new and today Ji Yuan would be among one of them. As for the rest of the newly arrived cultivators, they had decided to observe from the speculator stand to observe the mystic laws of the place and the rules of the arena.

Naturally some of the mystic laws affecting the arena were that none of the speculators would be allowed to disturb the arena when it had started and none would be allowed to leave while the arena was still unfinished. Also no one could reveal any information about the arena itself.

The arena was also one the few places that the contestants would be able to obtain lucky occurrences and rewards.

But unknown to these contestants, the profound treasures of the dead contestants would be taken back by the Wonderland of Ecstasy Island and not by the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

Actually Ji Yuan had no idea on the rules of the arena when he had joined but he insisted that none of the maidens would be allowed to follow him.

He had told them, "We don't know the nature of the arena and it will be bad if we were to fight among ourselves. Let me enter the arena first."

They had tried to ask around for the general rules of the arena but the reply was that it was always different.

When they had pressed for more information, they had all received the same message, "It is forbidden."

There were two gates for the arena.

One that led to the speculator stand and the another would lead to the contestant area.

So Ji Yuan said to the maidens with a chuckle, "Don't worry about me. Just watch my awesome performance."

Ling Feiyue and Feng Minyue had asked him, "Do you really need to go? Even though you know that this is a trap?"

But Ji Yuan had replied to them and also to the rest, "Even if this is a trap, it is still a trial. I just have to defeat the Smiling Divine Maiden and she will give me the answers that I want. But that is not the reason because I am not a foolish enamored man that believed that she will give me an answer. My real purpose is to make a real ruckus in there and I am going to make the Death God Mingwang to take notice of me."

Ling Feiyue, Feng Minyue, Little Princess and Yu Jingjing were all shocked, "You are going to fight the Death God Mingwang?"

Ling Feiyue quickly said, "Don't! We should avoid the Death God Mingwang. His aura is too terrifying. I will never want to see him again!"

As Yang Mi did not know who the Death God Mingwang was, she was wondering who he was.

Ji Yuan laughed, "That is right, I am going to fight the Death God Mingwang! And I am going to bang him to his knees too."

Bai Qianfeng almost choked when she had heard Ji Yuan and she could only suppress her laughter: You mean you want to bang Yun Chi…"

He gave a confidence look before he went into the contestant area to register himself.

Except for Dream Mist, all the other maidens were either sighing softly or wishing Ji Yuan good luck for they did not know where his confidence had come from.

Ling Feiyue could only quietly say to the others, "He is a quirky cultivator that knows how to solve trials. Even I don't have his talent in this. Leave him be. He is always thinking so weirdly."

Just as she was about to go inside the huge speculator stand, Bai Qianfeng had suddenly stopped her. "Look."

All the maidens followed the look that was on Bai Qianfeng and saw that it was Zhi Jiugong and she was already in one of the cozy speculator stands with the best view.

Yu Jingjing said with a bitter smile, "She is my ancient matriarch… there is nothing to talk about her…" She was still suffering from the heartbreak of knowing that her much respected ancient matriarch would choose to degenerate herself.

Bai Qianfeng said slowly, "She is different from the Zhi Jiugong that we saw on our first day. This one has an excessive amount of life force in her. She is a half-immortal. But the one we saw, seems to have reached the end of her life force."

Yang Mi was curious enough to ask, "What do you mean? They are not the same? But…"

Yu Jingjing followed after her as she looked at the faraway Zhi Jiugong, "But she is carrying the divine zither of our Holy Oracle Sect. I can't be mistaken. Maybe she is weak then and today she is strong?"

Bai Qianfeng who was the Abyssal Null Goddess and who was also an immortal goddess said nonchalantly, "The Zhi Jiugong that I saw yesterday, I didn't even want to take a look for her life force is but a candle light. This one however is like the day. No amount of rest can increase a cultivator's life force and this one is a totally different person. She is a half-step immortal and not a celestial. Luckily, our lord isn't going to fight her."

Feng Minyue had suddenly remembered Ye Jing's warnings and said, "You don't say that. Sister Ye Jing had told me that the Divine Smiling Maiden and the Lovely Empress are equally formidable. Maybe they are half-immortals as well?"

Little Princess hummed coldly, "Enough of these endless speculations and don't jinx our lord. Maybe this Zhi Jiugong is but an exceptional cultivator."

Bai Qianfeng said thoughtfully, "Our lord did mention there is a fake Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu yesterday and now we are seeing two Zhi Jiugong…"

Ling Feiyue had interrupted her with a soft giggle and had pulled her away, "Sister Qianfeng, why are you thinking so hard for? Surely you know that our lord Ji Yuan is always muttering some weird stuffs. You don't have to take him so seriously."

Yu Jingjing was giggling too, "And he always hiding something from us too!"

Bai Qianfeng did not try to argue with that because she was supposed to keep Yun Chi identity a secret from the rest. It was because Yun Chi did not want anyone to know that she was the Death God Mingwang for not even the Great Demon God or the Desolate Dragon God was aware of her real identity. In this world, only Ji Yuan and her were aware of her true identity.

As she was being pulled away, Dream Mist was looking at Zhi Jiugong discreetly.

It was because she had recognized her as one of the three maidens that had used the Profound Heavenly Eyes Array to search into Ji Yuan's spatial storage space. The activation of this powerful array required someone who was well verse in the immortal arts and not any mere peaked golden saints would be capable of using the Profound Heavenly Eyes Array.

And with a few quick calculations, she had already known the immortal methods they were using and how this Zhi Jiugong had split herself.

She merely smiled, "Small play."
