The Romantic Cultivator



The Greater Spirit Realm.

The Goddess Ai Tina heaved a soft sign of relief when Ji Yuan had survived the trial and she was panicky looking at Achilles who was inspecting the profound arrays of the Spiritas Tower. 

"What did you find out?"

Achilles shook at head as he looked at the Goddess Ai Tina, the Immortal Divine Consort Tang Li and the other immortal divine consorts. "The Spiritas Tower seems to have a will on its own and is controlling the trials now. And also, you are right. There is indeed a powerful profound darkness of an unknown origin that is inside…"

Then he sighed heavily, "Unfortunately, I am unable to tell if this is part of the Spiritas Tower or not. As for now, we can only wait for the trials to finish first."

The Goddess Ai Tina asked, "You mean we can't control the Spiritas Tower at all?"

Achilles nodded, "It is a True Divinity immortal profound treasure. It is difficult for us to control it in the first place even if we are immortals. The Supreme Divine Gods are able to control it because they have 6 and they have placed their powerful arrays in there. For us, we can't use their profound arrays nor do we have their combined profound strength too to control the Spiritas Tower…"

Then he added weakly, "But one thing is for sure. This Spiritas Tower seems to hate the Supreme Divine Gods a lot and have even destroyed their profound arrays. And I can even feel this intense hatred for me." 

The Goddess Ai Tina muttered weakly, "What shall we do now…"

Ji Yuan found himself back to his city-state arena again after the trial was announced finished. 

The Trial Spirit had announced, "110 Champions has survived to the fourth trial. You may have your 3 days break now."

He was literally flat on the ground when he got teleported back because it was the exact posture that he was at the black pyramid.

When he looked up with his hazy vision, he saw that there were 9 other champions that have survived through the third trial. 

Among them was Old Yang Batian who looked shocked as he saw the bloodied Ji Yuan who looked half-dead, "Ji Yuan, what happens to you during your trial?"

He was not the only one that had also surrounded him to ask him the same question.

Next to him were his Senior Sister Chu Lixue and Xiao Muhan as well.

Ji Yuan was shocked to see Xiao Muhan again and it seemed to him that he was barely injured at all. 

The same happened for his senior sister as well.

Chu Lixue gasped with shocked, "Ji Yuan, what happens to you? Are you alright?" 

She had immediately fed him a profound pill to treat his injuries.

Ji Yuan felt slightly better but only slightly better because he had eaten too many profound pills in such a short time. "Senior sister, do you have more replenishing profound pills? I have finished mine."

Chu Lixue, Xiao Muhan: …

They looked shocked because they knew that the divine consorts had given him quite a few of the powerful replenishing profound pills and Ji Yuan had told them that he had consumed them all?

They were with Ji Yuan for the first and the second trial so they know that he did not consume them during the first two trials.

But to consume more than 20 powerful replenishing profound pills were too exaggerating! 

Chu Lixue said unhappily, "I think you have just wasted my profound pill! Do you know that you shouldn't consume so many profound pills at the same time? This is bad for you…"

Xiao Muhan was about to rebuke Ji Yuan and told him about the bad effects of consuming so many profound pills when Chu Lixue continued to say unhappily, "Why are you like Xiao Muhan? The two of you are wasting profound pills like it is water!"

Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan answered almost at the same time, "I didn't have a choice…"

Then Ji Yuan stared at Xiao Muhan, "Brother Xiao Muhan, why aren't you dead yet? Do you know that I have already said my prayers to you in the heavens? And I have even shed a tear for you!"

Xiao Muhan frowned unhappily as he looked at the bloodied Ji Yuan, "You mean your crocodile tear? And what exactly happened to you?"

It was as though Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan both went on a different trial, only that Ji Yuan's trial was much harder.

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "That is not the point. The point is how the heck are you alive when I was almost killed?"

Xiao Muhan looked a little sheepish as he answered Ji Yuan, "I guess that I was lucky to be in the same team as Maiden Shui Xisi."

"Sisi?! You saw her?!"

All of a sudden Ji Yuan had sat up and he was grabbing hold of Xiao Muhan, "How is Sisi?! Is she alright?"

Chu Lixue hummed coldly, "Weird, you didn't ask if I am alright."

Ji Yuan turned to her with a weak look, "I can actually see with my own eyes that my senior sister… erm… looks perfectly alright."

But Chu Lixue continued to hum, "You are still far away from being a romantic cultivator!"

Ji Yuan: ???

What does being a romantic cultivator got to do with this?

Actually, Chu Lixue was hoping that Ji Yuan would show her a little concern but he was too dense to ask show her his concern for him.

Even if she is alright, she would expect Ji Yuan to show her his 'fake concerns'. 

But Ji Yuan was in no mood to second guessed his senior sister for now and he was too busy shaking Xiao Muan for an answer, "Answer me quick! Is she alright?"

His question was extremely crude and direct.

Xiao Muhan caught hold of Ji Yuan and said, "Don't be so panicky. Of course, she is alright. In fact, she has protected me during the trial. I must say that I was so lucky to have her in my team during the trial."

Ji Yuan heaved a soft sigh of relief, "She is alright. That's good to hear…"

Then he muttered weakly, "She must have it hard too… how the heck can she survive the Hunter Snow Black? She is so tactless…"

Xiao Muhan said a little awkwardly, "She killed the Hunter Snow Black 4 times in a row and she was searching everywhere for the hunter in order to make more kills. And all I need to do is to just follow her. Hahahaha… I didn't know that Maiden Shui Xisi is such a strong cultivator."

Ji Yuan: …

Of course she is strong. She is the Matriarch of the Water Melody Palace, you idiot. And the Water Melody Palace is one of the 3 most forbidden holy grounds of our Desolate Celestial Fraternity.

But what the heck that Sisi can kill the Hunter Snow Black 4 times?! 

Are we even fighting the same difficulty of the trial? That Hunter Snow Black was accompanied by 7 black raptors. Even if she alone was capable but I don't believe that you can even survive a single raptor attack…

Ji Yuan naturally did not know that all the other teams' Hunter Snow Black was almost a lone hunter unlike his trial where he had to consume double the profound strength to get rid of the dark raptors that accompanied the Hunter Snow Black. 

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "Why Sisi isn't in my team… how come I didn't know she is this strong?!" 

But all of a sudden, Ji Yuan was frowning; it was because he had suddenly remembered that Shui Xisi had flashed a True Divinity sword and the profound power of her divine sword could even knock back the guardians of the Goddess Star Palace. 

He had thought of fighting Jiajia again after he was out of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth since he believed that he could now best Jiajia. 

Since Sisi is Jiajia's sister, then as long as he can best Sisi then he can also best Jiajia, right?

Sisi, you can't be this strong. Am I right?

If Jiajia can still beat me, I will go eat shit…

When he had said that, he had collapsed into a deep sleep into the arms of his Senior Sister Chu Lixue. 

He had completely spent himself during the third trial and he was actually struggling to stay awake.

When he knows that his senior sister, Xiao Muhan and even Sisi were all alright, his heart was comforted and he had finally let go of his stubborn will to succumb into a rest.

Chu Lixue had a look of disbelief as she held onto Ji Yuan, "He can stay awake for 3 days just to chat with Maiden Ling Feiyue but for me, he just wants to sleep…"

Although she was sarcastic, she still quietly dressed Ji Yuan's wounds for him while he had succumbed into a deep sleep.

Chu Lixue could actually see that Ji Yuan had a hard time inside his trial and she was horrified to see wounds all over his body….

Xiao Muhan was equally horrified when he saw Ji Yuan's wounds, "Is he even human? Even his bones can be seen… I can't believe that I was talking to him like it is normal just now…"
