The Romantic Cultivator



The Guild of the Spirit Divine Records.

It was late at night and Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei was still checking the Blue Access for a way to force out the profound darkness that was in Ji Yuan's soul sea.

She had completely regained her profound strength as a Great Divine Consort now and should be known as the Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei.

However, she had forbidden the people in the Guild of the Spirit Divine Records from leaking this news out to the city-state. 

And in the Spirit Divine Realm, the words of a divine consort are the laws. And moreover, she is a Great Divine Consort and her laws are the decrees. 

However, as she did not trust the people in the Guild of the Spirit Divine Records for keeping this a secret, she had asked her 8 female followers to stop anyone from leaving or entering the Guild of the Spirit Divine Records until she has found a method in this place. 

She was looking a little dismay as she sought to find a way to remove the profound darkness that was buried deep inside the inner spiritual sea of Master Ji Yuan's soul sea but her search was futile and she lacked the spiritual strength to do so; this may possible required a Spiritas Immortal to do so…

All of a sudden, she was gasping with an inspiration, "Didn't Master Ji Yuan have a True Divinity profound treasure? The name of that profound treasure is the Golden Natal Divine Pearl. Maybe I can borrow the profound power of that immortal profound artefact to force out the profound darkness that is buried within him…"

This Golden Natal Divine Pearl had an extremely vast reserve of immortal spiritual force in it and it also had elements of the profound light within it. 

She paused for a while to think, "But I am not the master of that Golden Natal Divine Pearl and I can't use it as my own profound strength…"

But this was a good start to her and she started to search for the records of all kinds of immortal pearls and the methods of using them.

In the new headquarter of the rebel resistance hideout.

Elder Xie Tianzun was pacing around the main hall as he eagerly awaited the news of the 8 rebel leaders who also happened to be the strongest fighters in their resistance group. 

If the 8 of them combined their strength together, no one except a divine consort would survive their combined attacks. They just have to find an opportunity to attack their ex-great rebel leader Yuan Ji and to kill him. 

Elder Xie Tianzun hoped that they would also be able to retrieve back some of the money from this double-crossing Yuan Ji as the resistance needed funds to continue its operations. There were already many reports that some men had already quit the resistance group and had become male entertainers for the female spiritas.

He did not actually care about being the new great rebel leader because he had survived the past 13 great rebel leader and he was only an elder because he was poor in combat. That however, had protected him and eventually he had the opportunity to amass great influence and power within the resistance group. 

Of course, this had to do with the fact that he was willing to use his consort and harem as his pawn in order to please the other important men of the resistance group.

His rise to power was not easy and he had been an elder for the past 500 years but it was worth it.

Now he had almost unlimited power and was second in power to only the great rebel leader. Sometimes, even a great rebel leader did not have his type of influence and he could also dispose of them just like this Yuan Ji.

At first, he had thought of making use of Yuan Ji to distract the dissent voices in the resistance group and to make use of him to gain even more funds for the resistance group to fund his luxurious life style and harem.

Naturally he had a large harem, because his harem consisted of all the consorts, concubines and daughters of the fallen men in the resistance group.

As he was pacing around, he was startled to see four injured men making their way into the hall and he had recognized them as 4 of the rebel leaders. 

It seemed that they had finally found the opportunity to assassinate Yuan Ji. 

He looked a little disappointed that there seemed to be only the 4 of them and there was a possibility that this Yuan Ji actually have the tenacity to kill the other 4 missing rebel leaders. 

But he was not too concerned as he smiled to welcome the 4 rebel leaders, "Alas! Welcome back my rebel brothers! May the True Devil God be with all of you! I wonder which one of you are going to be the new great rebel leader? As for the consorts and daughters of our dead rebel brothers, I will take care of them."

1 of the rebel leaders began to say angrily but he was also struggling to stand, "This Yuan Ji is a monster! He has killed 4 of our brothers!" 

Elder Xie Tianzun was startled, "What did you say? Is this Yuan Ji dead as well?"

Another one of the rebel leaders said with a heavy sigh, "Dead? He is still alive and well."

Elder Xie Tianzun was shocked, "He lives? But is he also injured? We can send more teams to kill him. After all, the resistance group is an expert in hit and run tactics."

The third rebel leader hummed weakly, "Forget it. He is not injured. We are not his match." 

Elder Xie Tianzun blinked his shocked eyes, "That Yuan Ji just look like a fool with his good-for-nothing beautiful face. How many rounds did you fight with him? Tell me about this and I devise a tactic accordingly."

The fourth rebel leader hummed coldly, "We didn't even have the chance to attack him and he has already sent his flying swords after us. If you really want to know, this is the result of just 1 hit from his flying swords."

Elder Xie Tianzun was astonished, "Flying swords? Just 1 hit? He is a sword saint?"

The first rebel leader that spoke said coldly, "Sword Saint? I am afraid that even a sword saint can't do what he did. We are not attacked by his sword energies but his physical swords and from afar. He is probably a Sword Immortal and this is his sword domain."

The second rebel leader sighed, "It is wiser for us to lie low for a while. We are not a match for this sword immortal and he even knows that we are following him. We have already done our best to keep ourselves hidden."

Elder Xie Tianzun tried to encourage them, "Even if he is a Sword Immortal but he won't have unlimited profound strength. When he is tired, he can still be defeated. We can attack him relentlessly."

The third rebel leader said weakly, "Then why don't you lead our men against him? We are a secret group. If you send all our men just to kill him, do you think the divine consorts won't notice us and send their followers after us instead?"

Elder Xie Tianzun began to smile weakly, "Yes, yes…"

But he continued to say aloud, "But we definitely can't spare him. After all, he is traitor to our rebel resistance group and he dared to run away with our funds."

The fourth rebel leader coughed as he said with great pain, "I saw him in the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel and he was with the 4 divine consorts earlier and they had struck him down. We can't really hear what was going on at the stage as there is an anti-sound barrier…"

He coughed again before continuing, "That was why we are a little surprised to see him alive and well much later. He was walking with Divine Consort Tang Manni and we have thought that this may be a perfect time for us to strike once he had parted company with Divine Consort Tang Manni and her followers. But we did not even have that moment and he had suddenly attacked us from where he was standing."

The first rebel leader said weakly, "We didn't even know that he is going to attack us at that time…"

Elder Xie Tianzun asked weakly as he suddenly noticed their cold gazes that were upon him, "What are you all trying to tell me?"

The second rebel leader said coldly, "We are trying to tell you that for someone that can survive a fight with the 4 divine consorts and for someone that can kill 4 of our brothers with only 1 hit of his flying swords, it is best that we don't make him our enemy."

Elder Xie Tianzun asked weakly, "Is this your proposal?"

The third rebel leader said with a heavy sigh, "No. We are trying to tell you that it is best that we continue to accept this Yuan Ji as our great rebel leader instead, if we do want to see a future hope for our resistance."

Elder Xie Tianzun laughed weakly, "This is impossible. He has stolen all our funds…"
