The Romantic Cultivator



"Remember! Don't let them come together or it would be disastrous for us if they are to merge together! Ji Yuan, quickly figure out which way to go!"

That was Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing's last instructions before she completely focused all her attention on the golden golem to the left. 

The golden golem that Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing was fighting was twice as large as them and it was imbued with a powerful immortal profound animus that was golden. 

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing quickly got into her fighting form and everyone was startled that Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had released even more profound energies than when she was fighting the abyssal monster and there was a spirit animus in the form of a golden winged dragon that was coiling around her white profound animus!

That was because she had expended too much of her profound strength while attempting the Goddess Star Palace and she had to use her trump card now.

With a soft shout, she had unleashed dozens of waves of profound swords on the seemingly invincible golden golem. 

Old Reverend Beiyuan on the other hand had tumbled his heavy body like a feather at the golden golem to the right and he was shouting mightily with both his fists raised, "Hohohoho, I am not afraid of you!"

Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes and so were the other maidens when they had heard Old Reverend Beiyuan.

Ji Yuan thought weakly: Does he have to go 'Hohohoho' in battle?

Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng were up against a golden golem in the middle. 

Yun Chi had unleashed 24 immortal-steps divine swords as her wings and hovering swords. At the same time, she had also raised her emperor-step divine sword, a half-step immortal sword as she made the first attack against golden golem.

To her startled surprise, the golden golem was just knocked back one step with a mighty blow from all her profound power while her profound attack was seemingly deflected and she was forced to take seven steps backward before she was caught by Bai Qianfeng. 

Yun Chi gasped aloud, "This monstrosity is tough!"

Bai Qianfeng muttered weakly as she caught of Yun Chu, "I didn't expect that we can cut them down like tofu…"

But she quickly added, "These guardians are almost indestructible and even the two God Immortals seem to be delaying them instead of overcoming them. We ought to do the same and fight to delay for Ji Yuan rather than to win. And also, we need to remember not to let them merge together…"

Yun Chi nodded and she had flashed to engage the golden golem once again even before Bai Qianfeng had finished. 

Bai Qianfeng raised her celestial-step divine sword and released her immortal profound animus to her peak; in that instant two abyssal null eyes had formed on both sides of her as she muttered. "Abyssal lightnings of my Abyssal Eyes. Destroy the guardian in front of me."

Almost immediately, dozens of purple and golden lightnings began to streak across her two abyssal null eyes to zap the guardian with shocking loud impacts. 

Although the sound of the impacts was loud but the golden golem guardian was unfazed by the profound power of the lightnings that were as strong as the Divine Calamity. 

In the meantime, Ji Yuan, the Lovely Empress and Shui Xisi were fighting against another of the golden golem guardian. 

Shui Xisi had flashed her immortal sword on the golden golem and exploded a powerful explosion of profound energies to halt it even as she shouted, "Fifth seal unsealed!"

But she was flung back by the profound energies as well and she was angry, "It seems that even my fifth seal is completely useless."

She pointed her immortal sword at the incoming golden golem guardian and shouted, "Unsealed Sixth Seal! The Wraths of the Heaven and the Earth!"

Ji Yuan shouted as he attacked instinctively with his two emperor-step divine swords as he mustered his Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon as two powerful piercing waves of profound sword energies halted the golden golem guardian for a blink of an eye. 

He was startled that he did not even do any damage with his most powerful sword energies techniques. 

He began to frown, "You are quite a tough nut here. Now I am mad. You really want me to melee with you with my ultimate grand cross sword art and seize you with my sword domains…"

The Lovely Empress had suddenly interrupted him solemnly by tapping him on the shoulder to his right, "Ji Yuan, you mustn't fight anymore…"

Ji Yuan: ???

The Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu looked at him solemnly as she said gravely, "You can't use your sword intentions if you are distracted with solving the hints that are up there in the canvas imagery. I want you to focus on solving it instead of focusing on this futile battle. Can't you see that these guardians are undefeatable?" 

Ji Yuan began to shutter briefly when he had heard her, "Maiden Jiangsu, the two of you can't cope…"

But the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu interrupted him softly and there was a wet shimmer in her lovely golden eyes, "Know this Ji Yuan, even if I were to die in this place… I love you. Don't take vendetta for me. Do me a favor by being alive at the end of the day and may our souls meet one day…"

All of a sudden, she had flashed to join Shui Xisi in battle and she had released her angelic spirit animus. 

Ji Yuan was trembling when he had heard her and his heart was angry as he muttered to himself, "How do you all expect me to solve the hint in such a short time? What if I were to make the wrong decision and kill all of you instead… I can't do this…"

He had broken into a cold sweat as he stolen a glance to look at Yun Chi and he was even more startled when he saw that Yun Chi was holding onto her belly with her other hand…

His unborn daughter was fighting with her mother over there…

For the very first time he was fearful, not because he feared his enemies but he feared that he would make the wrong decisions. 

But if he did not make the decision anytime soon then even the Lovely Empress and Shui Xisi would die in this place. So would Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng and his unborn daughter as well…

Fairy Xiang Li stammered: Big Brother, what do we do now? Which portal should we take?

But Ji Yuan did not seem to hear her. 

Fairy Anyang had suddenly said: Sister Consort Xiang Li. If I were to die, always remember me as your best friend…

Xiang Li was startled: Anyang, what do you mean?

But Fairy Anyang had already vanished in a blink of an eye in the soul sea…
