The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan had suddenly asked Little Princess if she had seen Hua Xunzi lately.

A surprised Little Princess slowly nodded, "I did. She seems to be in a hurry to leave. Did she rob you or something?"

When Ji Yuan had heard that Hua Xunzi had already left the Demonic Divine Realm, he was relieved but at the same time he was a little perplexed.

"Nothing really. Haha…" Although he had said this but there was a look of determination in his golden eyes; he was determined to catch this 'little vixen' that had banged him when he was not himself.

An old voice had suddenly interrupted all of them, ringing through them. This was the old voice of the trial spirit, "The three of you that have scored 100 000 points, will you please come to the end of the Great Valhalla Hall. From now onward, this trial will no longer exist but your names shall be immortalized here forever."

Ji Yuan was startled, "This trial will no longer exist? Then how do we go back again?"

The old voice answered nonchalantly, "This trial exists as a divine calamity to punish the denizens of the Demonic Divine Realm for pushing humanity to the brink of extinction. However your efforts prevent such a calamity from happening. Not only have you saved humanity, you have also saved the demonic race as well. Therefore your reward for this trial will be truly exceptional."

Ji Yuan was startled but joyous at the same time, "Haha, as long as there is a reward…"

As he moved forward, he had suddenly thought of something else and he was grinning at Yun Chi, Little Princess, Feng Minyue, Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing.

Then he had suddenly tossed them five saint-step divine swords from his spatial ring with a playful grin, "This is for all of you."

Yang Mi was startled as she stared at the saint-step divine sword that was in her hands, "This… this is a saint-step divine sword?! And this is for me? Are… you sure?"

She was not even a great saintess and Ji Yuan was giving her a saint-step divine sword?!

Even Little Princess, Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue were shocked at the saint-step divine swords in their hands. "This is for us?!"

Yun Chi simply pocketed it as though it was nothing unusual. Instead she was smiling, "It seems that you have quite a bit of lucky occurrence in there?"

The Lovely Empress seized the opportunity to chuckle softly, "Indeed he has. He has given us a saint-step divine sword each."

When she had said that, Yang Mi had almost fainted on the spot as she listened with great disbelief.

Yu Jingjing was stammering, "How did Ji Yuan get so many saint-step divine swords?"

The Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue answered for her half-sister with a beautiful smile, "He has killed many top demonic cultivators in there and looted their heritages in there…"

"I was being attacked, you know." Ji Yuan interrupted weakly before he ran after the short old man and Bai Qianfeng.

He added with a grin, "These are actually all the saint-step divine swords that I can find. However some of them are only half-step saint swords. It is just nice that I can distribute this to everyone here."

The short old man the White Sword Monarch muttered, "You didn't give me anything, you know."

The Smiling Divine Maiden smiled as she watched him left the scene before she turned around to all her sisters and to look at Yun Chi, "How should I start? This is a most interesting trial…"

The Lovely Empress laughed as she seized to say, "Let me tell you the story instead…"

"Let me tell you the story instead. I was with Ji Yuan from the very start." Zhi Jiugong offered with a soft chuckle.

The Lovely Empress: …

Ling Feiyue smiled alluringly, "I think we have better let Maiden Zhi Jiugong do the talking instead. After all, she is with Ji Yuan. We are all secondary here. Hehe…"

The Lovely Empress: …

The Lovely Empress: …

The Lovely Empress: …

There was a shimming reflective dark portal at the end of the Great Valhalla Hall.

Ji Yuan said to his old man and to Bai Qianfeng, "Guess we should walk through this portal."

As he had said that, the short old man and Bai Qianfeng nodded as they walked into the shimmering portal.

Ji Yuan soon followed after them and he found himself in a dark spatial room.

He laughed aloud as he asked into the dark spatial space, "So what is my reward?"

"But this has better to be good." He could not resist putting a threat due to hundreds of years of bad habit as an arrogant golden celestial and sect master.

An old voice croaked, "It seems that you have a great breakthrough in your sword saint attainment now and is now a Sword Immortal. Maybe, you are even a half-step Sword Deity too. However, you have a weakness and that is your profound strength."

Ji Yuan laughed as he raised his sword fingers up, "After I have become a Sword Immortal, my profound strength has also increased tremendous. I doubt that there are many cultivators that can withstand the strength of my sword fingers now."

The old voice laughed, "You are confusing your profound power with your profound strength. I am talking about the profound strength of your inner spiritual sea. When you train your inner spiritual sea, naturally your profound strength will be stronger. You have spent too much time cultivating on your profound power with your sword…"

"I am training my natural reflexes and speed too." Ji Yuan interrupted with a grin, "Therefore I can't afford any time for cultivation."

He wanted to say his spiritual mountains suck in meditating anyway but he had decided to keep quiet about this.

"And also because your talent with cultivation is bad. You are not even at the genius level and you can't cultivate well too even if you have a good spiritual mountain." The old spiritual voice chuckled.

Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes but he was bitterly smiling: Thanks. You have just slapped my face hard. Do you have to be so frank?

It was true that Ji Yuan hates to cultivate peacefully and he would rather shake his leg; it was actually amazing that he would actually become a great saint in the first place too.

Ji Yuan weakly muttered, "Enough of my weakness. So what is my reward then?"

The old spiritual voice laughed jovially as a shining profound pill appeared in front of him, "This is the Minor Miracle Sanctorum Profound Pill. Even in the Immortal Divine Realm, this Minor Miracle Profound Pill is extremely rare. You can say that this is a 7th rank profound pill in your Celestial Realm. Taking this profound pill will increase your attainment by 1000 years."

Ji Yuan blinked his eyes, "Seriously? By 1000 years? Then what for do I need to cultivate for? I am only 500 years…"

The old spiritual voice laughed, interrupting Ji Yuan. "However you need to be at least a golden saint or you may explode your inner spiritual sea. It is safer if you consume this as a great saint."

Ji Yuan began to laugh weakly, "This is a Minor Miracle Profound Pill. So there is also a Major Miracle Sanctorum Profound Pill?"

"There is but this one is even more rare. You need to be at the 9th Immortal Positioning in order to consume this and it is extremely rare even in the Immortal Divine Realm." The old spiritual voice laughed jovially.

"Can't you give me 10 of these Minor Miracle Sanctorum Profound Pill?" Ji Yuan asked curiously.

The old spiritual voice growled, "You can only consume 1 of these Miracle Sanctorum Profound Pill only once. If I have 10 then this won't be a SS reward."

Ji Yuan was startled, "This is a SS reward?"

He muttered, "This can't be right? It is only for 1000 years. Some of my beloveds have already been cultivating for thousands of years…"

The old spiritual voice answered a little agitated, "This is pure spiritual attainment. Your beloved can't be cultivating for 1000 years nonstop right?"

Ji Yuan pointed out, "They are extreme geniuses, you know."

The old spiritual voice frowned, "I've suddenly realized something."

"What is it?" Ji Yuan asked curiously.

The old spiritual voice said coldly, "That you actually talking a lot. Are you taking this Minor Miracle Sanctorum Profound Pill or not?"

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Naturally I am taking this but…"

"But what?!" The old spiritual voice asked impatiently.

Ji Yuan had suddenly displayed his desolate cherubim and his cultivation realm was increased to the upper 8th immortal positioning, "I am thinking that if I take this profound pill when I am at a higher cultivation realm then won't the boundary of my spiritual seas be even better? Maybe I can even have some hidden benefits as well?"
