The Romantic Cultivator



After Destiny had explained to Ji Yuan on his true origin, Ji Yuan was now saying to Destiny, "But before I introduce you to the rest of my maidens, I need to verify something first."

"What is it?" Destiny returned a curious look. 

Ji Yuan said boldly and there was barely any shame or fluctuations in his heart, "You have to agree to 3 conditions of mine first before I can believe you."

"3 Conditions?" Destiny was startled, "What is it for?"

Even Anyang and Xiang Li had a surprised look; they could not believe that Ji Yuan was actually asking for 3 conditions.

Ji Yuan grinned, "I've to make sure that this isn't a prank."

Destiny: …

Anyang: …

Xiang Li: …

"What are the 3 conditions then?" Destiny asked weakly.

Ji Yuan was really suspicious that this may be a prank either by Destiny or by the other maidens. After all, he had been pranked too many times by the maidens and he had also pranked on Xiao Muhan too many times. 

Until now, he could not imagine that he was the True Devil God; it was the same as someone telling him that he was the blessed son and appointed one of the heavens. Moreover, he did not feel that he had gained any benefits from being the 'reincarnated' True Devil God and he had actually worked hard for his own cultivation. 

Although his progression was fast but it was still normal for a sword energy cultivator until the sixth cultivation realm and he would experience a slowdown due to the lack of profound cultivation arts. 

But although he was already speedy compared to most sword energy cultivators but his fast progression was due to plenty of aid by Ling Feiyue and Xue Qianxue 2 years ago for his purple lightning tribulation and in the Dream Trial. The most important factor was actually due to the True Sacred Saint profound art that Ji Yuan had been practicing with instructions from Bai Qianfeng and she had also taught the other maidens some shortcuts due to her lofty cultivations. 

But even then, when he had entered the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth as a great saint, his cultivation realm was actually quite unstable and he had yet to form his golden core of the True Sacred Saint profound art. 

But after he had fully formed his golden core, he had also reached the peak of the great saint level. Also, he also had the time to stabilize his cultivation foundation during his time inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and this was an important factor for him.

One must know that although Ji Yuan had been inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth for only 6 months but actually, he had undergone 2 years inside due to the time lapses that he had encountered. 

Also, the cultivation energy inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth was like 100 times faster so that the cultivators would actually be able to regain their profound strength and injuries at a 100 times rate. 

This also means that the cultivators inside would also be able to quickly regain even their cultivation cores by cultivating for only just a while time before going for the next trial.

In short, Ji Yuan had the benefit of more than 200 years of cultivation time to stabilize his cultivation foundation. 

This benefit was actually more than 200 years since there were many things that could be accomplished inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth than outside.

Take for example, it was impossible for Jin Yilong to quickly recover his profound strength and his mutilations so quickly outside. Even if he had spent 300 years outside, it was quite impossible for him to survive his encounter and to overcome his parasite host. This was all due to the vast disparity of cultivation energy inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth compared to the outside.

Similarly, many of the cultivators would also make sure of the opportunity to cultivate inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth for their profound arts rather than outside since they may be able to gain the insights for their cultivation breakthrough. If they could not gain a breakthrough inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, they would not be able to breakthrough outside.

There were even some golden celestial cultivators that have a damaged cultivation core that they could repair outside and they had come into the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth specially to repair their cultivation core. 

But of course, the greatest benefit lies in reaching the 6th level of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and every trial.

For Ji Yuan, if he could remain inside the Spirit Divine Realm for 70 days then this would be equivalent to 7000 days of extreme hardcore cultivation. 

However, cultivation has a daily limit and it is quite possible for him to cultivate for 7000 days to receive the same benefit as inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. Therefore, it is more like 70 000 days for Ji Yuan instead. 

Also, the other benefits that Ji Yuan had gained while he was inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth was that he was also able to devise so many original sword arts while inside. This was something that was quite impossible for him to do if he was not inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. 

Similarly for Xiao Muhan, he had actually received his breakthrough to the heaven-step of the initial saint level after the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower had ended. 

That is the reason why many golden celestials treat the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth as their holy quest every 500 years to go to as the benefits far exceeded any trial in the Celestial Realm. 

The most important reason of course has to do with the 100 times cultivation energy if they could reach the 6th level of the Empyrean Warrior Empyrean and not any cultivation attainment. 

However, for Ji Yuan, as he had taken many trials inside the 6th level of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, his cultivation attainment and foundation were a lot more solid now.

Now, this information was a little off tracked.

Ji Yuan did not believe he had received any benefits from being the True Devil God since this was all due to the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

This was not wrong as he had not awakened his True Devil God's profound power yet. If he had awakened his True Devil God's profound power then he would also be easily divined by the other immortal powers.

Destiny asked Ji Yuan weakly, "What are the 3 conditions?"

Ji Yuan grinned, "First, you got to allow me to kiss you. On your lips of course."

Destiny was startled and she had turned slightly flustered as she nodded slowly.

"Secondly," Ji Yuan chuckled softly. "You must not resist if I am touching you."

Destiny was even more startled by this. 

She slowly lowered her head with a flushed look and answered, "En. So, what's the third condition?" 

Ji Yuan was actually surprised that a high goddess was actually acceding to his ridiculous requests and he felt a little bewildered.

He was actually only testing the waters…

He blinked his eyes as he weakly said his third condition, "You must not hit me or harm my other maidens."

Destiny slowly nodded, "This is reasonable."

Actually, as Ji Yuan's contracted slave, she could not hit him without getting any backlash in the first place and his words were his commands as well.

However, she had decided not to remove this spirit contract between them first as she still needed it to enter the Celestial Realm. 

When Ji Yuan has returned to the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, there will a great void for her to return to her skull ring or rather her Delphi Palace and there is a high possibility of failure. But with this spirit contract, she would have a higher possibility of pinpointing herself to her Delphi Palace and joined him in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

She could of course enter her Delphi Palace first before Ji Yuan has returned to the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth but she would then lose the anchor to the Spirit Divine Realm. Therefore, she could only join Ji Yuan later. 

That was the reason why she needed a 'help' from Ding Jie'Er. But in order to ensure that she has more than 1 chances, she has the intention to seek Tang Manni to give her the second red ring. 

Ji Yuan mustered some courage as he looked boldly at Destiny up and down, "Erm, you don't mind if I inspect my goods?"

Destiny was startled but very quickly she slowly nodded.

Ji Yuan was thinking if he would be killed by her as he started by touching her smooth and silky hands. 

Then he got bolder as he pressed on her to kiss her small cherry lips.

But when he saw that she was not resisting, he startled to grope her with his hands…
