The Romantic Cultivator

Old Reverend Beiyuan began to pester Ji Yuan, "Hohoho, I can give you an immortal profound treasure for your Goddess Tear and spare your friends too."

Ji Yuan bitterly, "Why do you want my Goddess Tear so badly? I am telling you that I am not trading my Xiang Li for anything in the world!"

When Xiang Li had heard Ji Yuan, she was touched in her innermost heart and she muttered silently: Big Brother…

Old Reverend Beiyuan roared with anger, "You are not afraid that I will kill all of you here?!!!"

Ji Yuan began to raise his two emperor-step swords in a threatening manner, "Heh, I am dying for a fight anyway. I repeat myself again. I won't ever give up my Xiang Li for anything, ever!"

When he had said that, even Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress had all displayed a combat stance along with him!

Ji Yuan said angrily to Old Reverend Beiyuan, "Also, because I have promised the Great Beyond Goddess to protect Xiang Li and not to give her up easily!"

All of a sudden Old Reverend Beiyuan seemed to have turned ashen and he had suddenly flashed more than a 100 yard away, startling everyone!

He seemed to have muster his profound strength and his profound aura had suddenly expanded like a force of powerful barrier around him.

But after a while, he blinked his eyes as he looked at Ji Yuan blankly before he muttered, "You didn't get strike down by the black calamity lightning?"

Although he was 100 yards away and was muttering but his voice was audible in everyone's ears.

Ji Yuan frowned weakly, "What black calamity lightning?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan began to hop madly and his steps were like earthquakes before he stopped to exclaim with great exasperation. "Do you know that you must not mention her name in this place. If you misuse her name and tell a single untruth, then you will be strike down by the black calamity lightning. Even if you are a ninth and tenth immortal, it is impossible to escape without any injuries and even death!"

Ji Yuan had suddenly realized why this Old Reverend Beiyuan had suddenly flashed away all of a sudden and so did the others.

He laughed jovially before saying, "You know, the Great Beyond Goddess and I are actually friends…"

When he had said that, Old Reverend Beiyuan had turned even paler and he had flashed to a mile away.

Ji Yuan was stunned; did he have to be so exaggerated?

Actually Ji Yuan did not know how powerful the black calamity lightning was at this point. The great penalty for saying anything sacrilegious against the Great Beyond Goddess, the invitation of the black calamity lightning was even worse and that was why Old Reverend Beiyuan had decided to get out of the way and watched them getting pulverized.

But again, nothing happened.

Old Reverend Beiyuan had suddenly flashed to Ji Yuan and he was encircling him like an imp, "You… you are really a friend of my great mistress?"

Ji Yuan was startled and so did the others.

And he answered what was on everyone's mind, "Erm, you are a protégé of my mistress?"

"Hohohoho, surprise!" Old Reverend Beiyuan patted his pot belly as he laughed. "I am her disciple to be exact. So how is my great mistress now?"

Ji Yuan said weakly, "Well, actually this is a long story. She has never told me about you."

Old Reverend Beiyuan: …

He began to laugh weakly, "Hoho, so my mistress didn't ask you to be here to release me."

Ji Yuan asked curiously, "Release you? You are in a prison?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan muttered, "Can't you see?"

Ji Yuan frowned, "Do you think I can 'see'? And where are we now and why are you here?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed, "Hohoho, this is the Hollow World. If you are here, naturally you are taking your trial in this place."

Ji Yuan displayed a perplexed look, "Is this place even a trial? This place is so dangerous and we can die at anytime even without knowing why."

Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed jovially, "We are not allowed to lift our fingers against the celestials in this place so you won't be in any dangers. However, if you are an immortal then it is a different story."

When he had said that, Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng began to look uneasy.

Ji Yuan muttered, "How about the high level monsters in this place?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed mischievously, "You are supposed to survive in this place for 7 days by suppressing your profound animus."

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "If not, we can get ourselves killed in this place?"

Then he quickly asked, "And who is that dark cloak man with the golden dragon that we saw a while ago?"

"Dark cloaked man?" Old Reverend Beiyuan displayed a perplexed look.

Ji Yuan said weakly, "I thought that you say that you are the master of this place and you didn't know about this dark cloaked man and his golden dragon?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan had suddenly burst into jovial laughter, "Hohohoho! That isn't a man. She is a maiden. You have me confused for a little moment, that's all."

Ji Yuan was startled, "She is a maiden? She is kinda fierce."

Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed nonstop, "Just now I pulled the tail of her golden dragon and she is kinda mad at me. She is Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing."

Ji Yuan asked bitterly, "And why did you do that for?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan blinked his eyes before he answered, "Hohoho. Because it is fun and I am bored? And I like it when she is irritated by me?"

Ji Yuan almost fainted at his reply, "Can you don't do that 'Hohohoho' laughter? It is so irritating."

Old Reverend Beiyuan began to pat his pot belly as he laughed jovially, "Hohohoho."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Everyone: …

Everyone: …

Everyone: …

Ji Yuan said weakly, "How did you someone of your great immortal positioning happened to be trapped in this place?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan began to sigh woefully as though this had reminded him of a most painful past, "I have offended my great mistress so she cursed me not to mention her name or title and send me to this accursed place."

Ji Yuan weakly asked, "What exactly did you do?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan had suddenly caught hold of Ji Yuan and said with a pitiful look, "Brother, you seem to have understand me. I have actually done nothing wrong! My great mistress had ordered me to keep quiet and I didn't talk! Then she had sent me to this place. Wuwuwuw!"

Ji Yuan asked bitterly, "You didn't talk but did you Hohohoho or Wuwuwuw?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan began to ponder meaningfully, "This isn't talking right?"

Ji Yuan and everyone: …

Ji Yuan muttered incoherently, "I may have guessed why you are here in this place…"

He asked curiously, "Are there others like you here? How did you get trap in this place with that Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan answered jovially, "Hohohoho! There are actually 7 of us here. We are all being send here to temper our cultivation."

Ji Yuan frowned, "This explains why there are 7 portals. If I am not mistaken, these portals will take us to one of the domains of the rulers of this place."

"Hohohoho. That is right!" Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed jovially.

Then he flashed a look at Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng, "Our mission is to kill or imprison all the immortals in this place."

Ji Yuan quickly said, "Listen. We are all friends of the Great Beyond Goddess here and…"

All of a sudden Old Reverend Beiyuan had flashed away to a mile away before he said cautiously, "Erm, there is no black calamity lightning? You are all really friends of my mistress?"

Ji Yuan nodded, "Of course we are. We have even party together for quite a while. So you mustn't hurt them."

Old Reverend Beiyuan cautiously went up to  Ji Yuan again before he looked at Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng, "Alright then. I dare not hurt the friends of my great mistress."

Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng were suddenly relieved; they had no wish to fight against a peaked 10th immortal positioning freak and moreover they did not want to test how strong he really was.

Ji Yuan asked Old Reverend Beiyuan again, "Why did you need the Goddess' Tear for?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed weakly before he finally heaved a soft sigh, "Have you heard of the Goddess Star Palace before?"

Ji Yuan took a puzzled look at Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng and the others who were all displaying equally perplexed looks before he said, "No? What is this place?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed jovially, "Every 500 years, the Goddess Star Palace will be opened briefly. There are plenty of cultivation slips inside. I am struck in a room. Now if I have the Goddess Tear then I can unravel the mysteries of that room and even make my escape from this place."

Ji Yuan asked weakly, "Are you kidding me? You will be trapped by a room?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan frowned, "God Immortals can't lie. And that is why I am catching the immortals to make them help me inside the Goddess Star Palace."

Ji Yuan suddenly had an idea, "What if we can help you? Can you bring us to that Goddess Star Palace to have a look?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan took a look at Ji Yuan before he said, "That place isn't for the celestials. This is dangerous even for me. Are you sure?"

Ji Yuan was startled, "Dangerous even for you?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan nodded, "Then why do you think that I am trapped in this place for such a long time?"

Yun Chi was suddenly smiling as she said to Old Reverend Beiyuan, "Senior, we will surely help you."

Even Bai Qianfeng was smiling and nodding, "Just take us to this Goddess Star Palace."

There was a reason why they were suddenly really friendly right now. When they had heard that there were cultivation slips in the Goddess Star Palace, they were excited immediately; this would mean that the secrets of the 10th immortal positioning may be hidden in the Goddess Star Palace!

Yun Chi was even asking, "Senior, do you have any cultivation tips for us?"
