The Romantic Cultivator

As Zhi Jiugong watched the imageries inside the arena, she was feeling more and more uneasy. It was because the Spirit Divination Compass which was an emperor-step compass would actually fail so many times; the Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress were supposed to be grouped together for the final trial and by now, they would be speeding toward the safe area without any incident.

However the Smiling Divine Maiden had ended up with Ji Yuan in a group while the Lovely Empress had suddenly met up with the old freak.

The meeting between the Lovely Empress and the old freak had greatly startled her because there was no way that the Lovely Empress was a match for the old freak.

She silently shouted to her: Lu Jiangsu! Run!

It was because this was an open space and not a narrow passageway so there might be a chance that the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu might have a chance to outrun the old freak. It was unlike earlier when the Smiling Divine Maiden was trapped between two powerful opponents in a narrow passage where her movements were limited, one in her back and one in front.

Then she saw that the old freak seemed to have a heavy killing intention on the Lovey Empress…

The Lovely Empress was naturally afraid of the old freak when she had first seen his cold voice. But her proud defiance soon kicked in as she was one that did not like to yield in to any threats.

Her thought first was naturally to resist as she thought: This great saintess isn't afraid of you. Not when I am also a peaked great saintess!

Especially when he had dared to say to her that he knew that she was the Lovely Empress and that she was also a harlot of this Bliss City. To add salt to injury, he had even told her that she was his enemy and that she was only worth +3 Points.

So how could she not be mad at him?

But when she had suddenly remembered that even the Desolate Dragon God Longdi could not overcome this old freak in the past and even her master the Death God Mingwang had viewed him as his mortal enemy, she was wary of him immediately as she thought: Just how strong a peaked great saint sword saint is? Don't tell me he had a level 10 in all his small realms?

The cultivation realms of the celestials are actually extremely complex and what was generally known is actually a simplified version. While it isn't wrong to say that there are 7 cultivation realms in all, with the last cultivation realm being called the Sacred Saint Realm and the cultivators there are called golden saints. It is actually divided into two power disparities, the normal golden saints and the great saints.

Every realm actually has 4 stages; initial, middle, upper and peak stage. Therefore the same will naturally goes for the Sacred Saint Realm and only the third stage onward can be called a great saint. And in order to be a great saint, one has to overcome the lightning tribulation first. It is never easy and some cultivators are known to be injured for decades as they hastily breakthrough to the prestigous great saint level.

Each stage also has 4 steps; half-step, earth-step, heaven-step and peak step and each step also has 10 levels.

For the last step, it was in turn divided into the 4 again, the energy (or Qi Refinement) cultivation, the soul cultivation, the spirit cultivation and the mental cultivation. It was here that the steps were given a rating of 1-10 levels, where most of the cultivators will only score an average of 3.

Most of the cultivators usually ignored the last 2 parts because it was not crucial to get to the maximum in order to overcome their breakthroughs and they would only start to panic when they had reached a deadlock in their breakthroughs or ascension.

As for Lovely Empress, she was the peak of the peak great saintess. Therefore she had her own personal reasons to be vain of her cultivation strength.

As for Ji Yuan, she had a bad impression of his cultivation level because while Ji Yuan had displayed and pronounced his profound animus to be that of a peaked great saint but he could be the lowest level of the peaked great saint; she was not surprised if he only had a half-step cultivation attainment as a peaked great saint.

Most cultivators like Ji Yuan would never dare to tell the others how low their attainments were as they were too hasty in their breakthroughs and refused to solidate their cultivation inner spiritual seas first, relying more on luck and poor resources for their breakthroughs.

When she had thought about Ji Yuan's soul cultivation for his cultivation realms, she could not resist a silent chuckle when she thought that he probably scored only level 1 for all his seven major cultivation realms on the average because she had thought that his soul must really be impure.

Usually for major powerhouses or celestial clans, they have much more cultivation resources to solidate their cultivation realms and they are much stronger than the poorer same cultivation realm cultivators, having a level 3-5 on average.

Anything above level 5 is extremely hard and it requires lucky occurrences or a very long time. That is why many of the smarter cultivators prefer to go slower to solidate their cultivation realms instead of rushing for breakthroughs that would bring them the benefits of a stronger cultivation profound strength.

She was thinking that Ji Yuan profound strength was simply too weak because he had such a low level in his cultivation realms and he was only relying on his two saint-step divine swords to overcome his opponents.

She thought again, maybe not just his two saint-step divine swords. He was also lucky enough to have two sword spirits and a powerful spirit animus.

The Lovely Empress began to sigh that some cultivators like Ji Yuan was simply too weak and that they had simply relied on their lucky occurrences in the trials to overcome their opponents. However this was useless to her because at the end of the day, real cultivation attainment means that they all had to face the cultivation breakthroughs and to ascend as immortals.

And she, the Lovely Empress has all the strong qualifications to ascend as an immortal cultivator eventually.

That is, if she doesn't die now.

And she was now facing this old freak now.

She could only forcibly smile to this short old man as she lied, "Senior cultivator. I think you are greatly mistaken about this. I am not the Lovely Empress and I don't have such an evil sister like her. While she may be a harlot in Bliss City, I am a chaste maiden. If you don't believe me, you may examine me with your powerful divine sense. I can give you the time to examine me."

Did she just shamelessly lie like that Ji Yuan now? It must be his bad influence on her that is causing her to lie like this manner!

The short old man looked a little surprise, "You are really not the Lovely Maiden?"

The Lovely Maiden raised her fists with much indignant, "She is absolutely evil while I am good and has a compassionate heart. And she is the one that forces me to join in this trial to get her more cultivation resources. She is after all still my sister and I have no choice but to obey her wicked wishes."

She quickly resolved to go on her soul meditation later and to sincerely repent of her lies and never to lie again or else her soul level will drop to Ji Yuan's shameless level.

It is all that stupid and shameless Ji Yuan's fault, for sure!

I bet that his soul level is only 0.1 but he had shamelessly round it off to the nearest 1 to make himself look awesome in front of all the other cultivators that have also scored a 1 in their soul level.

He has probably made one too many oaths to his soul core, that's why.

The reason why the Lovely Maiden had mentioned the last part was that all the promises and oaths regardless if it make to the soul core, are a form of restriction when a cultivation is having his breakthrough and can hinder them.

The short old man frowned, "If you are not the Lovely Empress, then who are you?"

The Lovely Empress immediately answer innocently, "Uh… I am the Innocent Empress. I am the opposite of that wicked witch. I am good."

The short old man rolled his old eyes and he appeared to be startled before he roared with loud laughter, "I see. So you are the Innocent Empress."

The Lovely Empress answered immediately as she crossed her fingers to her butt, "Of course I am the Innocent Empress. Who else can I be? And what is your name then?"

The short old man pondered for a while before he answered, "You can call me your grand daddy?"

"Grand daddy?" The Lovely Empress giggled uncontrollably. "If you are my grand daddy, then I am your daughter?"

The short old man frowned, "You don't believe me?"

The Lovely Empress pondered shyly, "I think that you are not a bad old man. Why don't I call you sugar daddy instead since you are so sweet to me and especially if you want me to be your god-daughter?"

The short old man said nonchalantly, "Whatever."

The Lovely Empress asked him shyly, "So we are allies now? My sugar daddy?"

The short old man merely said to her, "Follow me if you don't want to die, my Innocent Empress."

The Lovely Empress quickly said, "Well, if you don't need me, I think I can go explore the other way now. So, farewell…"

The short old man turned around to stare at her, "If you dare to go ten steps away from me, I shall forcible copulate with you and then I shall kill you for a total of +6 Points. Do you believe me?"

The Lovely Empress was startled but she quickly put on a delightful smile, "Alas, sugar daddy really knows how to joke with me. Of course I shall follow you. I feel so safe with my sugar daddy around… hehehe…"

While she was saying that, she had of course put her fingers to her butt again.

That was how the Lovely Empress had followed the old freak.

And this was what Zhi Jiugong had seen with her own eyes and she was perplexed; she could only see the imagery of the Lovely Empress but not any sounds.

All of a sudden she was startled; it was because Steward Gu Bugu had suddenly stormed to the judge stand and he had brought along the four most powerful cultivators from the Dragon Faction and they were the East King, South King, West King and North King.

When Steward Gu Bugu was near to Zhi Jiugong, he had immediately commanded, "It is time to activate the emergency rule. I shall enter into the final trial myself, along with my four subordinates."

Then he took a dark orb, "That old freak is here now. I shall use this Dragon Subduing Orb to kill him inside."

He was naturally seeking vendetta for his brother.

Zhi Jiugong was stunned, "You.. really want to do so? And release the Dark Sol Dragon?"

Steward Gu Bugu stared coldly at her, "Quick and do as I have said!"

He was of course extremely angry that his brother Gu Sangu had been killed. And even more angry that these three sisters had been using dolls to satisfy his bestial urges. This time round, he was going to forcibly copulate with the Lovely Empress and the Smiling Divine Maiden for real inside.

Zhi Jiugong had no force but obey him for this was his right as the chief steward. In theory, Steward Gu Bugu was the highest in command in Bliss City and he was only trying to kill the old freak.

She sighed softly before pronouncing her heavenly voice into the arena for all to hear her, "We are all going to increase the risk of the final trial so we are sending 5 cultivators inside to be the hunters as special rewards. But as an additional risk for reward, if any cultivator is able to kill one of the hunters, you will receive +9 Points and also an additional 10 million high grade spirit stones as your reward."

Many of the cultivators in and out of the arena were startled but it soon gave away to loud cheers.

"The reward for slaying a hunter is +9 Points?"

"Then it will mean that they will be able to complete this trial?"

"And 10 million more high grade spirit stones too! Wow!"

"I wish I am one of the contestants now…"

Zhi Jiugong announced slowly, "This is how the five hunters will look like and they will spawn randomly in the greater area of the trial. Once again, I wish good luck to the contestants. The hunters will spawn inside the trial in a minute time."

Yun Chi who was also looking at Zhi Jiugong and Steward Gu Bugu had an even more dark look now; it was because Steward Gu Bugu was planning to unleash the Dark Sol Dragon on all the contestants without letting them know how they would die.

The Dark Sol Dragon was a dark desolate monster that was controlled by the Dragon Faction via the Dragon Subduing Orb. Even for her status as the Death God Mingwang, she was not unable to stop them from using it. And moreover, they had all the justifications to do it because that old freak had now appeared.

The situation inside the arena trial was now getting more and more out of control…

And she could only pray for good luck to Ji Yuan?!

She had lost all of her humorous smiles by now…

Bai Qianfeng was equally frustrated. It was not because it was due to how powerful Steward Gu Bugu was but that Ji Yuan was actually chasing skirts inside.

She knew very well that when Ji Yuan was rubbing his chin, he was actually looking at the butts of his interested maidens. When they had turned their heads, he would then pretend that he was actually thinking about something else.

The problem was that when Ji Yuan had his beard, this was actually not obvious. But when a beardless Ji Yuan was rubbing his chins, he looked extremely obvious because he looked more like a lecherous cultivator who was googling on a maiden; when he was rubbing his chins, he actually looked like a lecherous man that was hinting that he would like to rub against their bodies than pretending to be pondering away.
