The Romantic Cultivator



Ji Yuan was now at the foot of the Royal City of Nefarious with Gong Muk, which was the heart of the Nefarious Blood Kingdom.

He had also lowered his cultivation realm to the 2nd level with his mystic eyes skill and he was looking just like a normal human. 

Bordering the Nefarious Blood Kingdom, were 4 equally powerful kingdoms.

From what Gong Muk had told him, the abyssal cultivation sects in the Dark Abyssal had to obey the wishes of an abyssal king.

The abyssals used to have an abyssal emperor a long time ago but the current abyssal kings are not powerful enough to form an abyssal empire.

As for Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er, they had returned to the Delphi Palace that was inside the skull ring as they did not want to be gazed upon by the abyssals. 

Since Ji Yuan also did not want them to be seen by the abyssals, he also had the intention of letting them to be in the Delphi Palace as they waited for him.

Now Ji Yuan was chained by Gong Muk as he was being led into the Royal City of Nefarious without any troubles from the abyssal guards there. 

But of course, his chains could easily be shattered by Ji Yuan once he had displayed his true cultivation strength. So whether he was chained or not, was not important.

Ji Yuan could see towering abyssals everything that were all easily twice his height. 

Many of the abyssals did not even bother to look at him because he was a merely a male slave and not even a beautiful curiosity.

Ji Yuan also saw many chained men and maidens of the celestial, spiritas and desolate humanoid races that were the same as him; they were all slaves.

The men and maidens were also mostly naked, especially the maidens and they were also paraded like wares in front of the abyssals.

Ji Yuan suppressed his angry impulsions to attack these abyssals and to free all the slaves since doing so may lead to them being killed by the numerous abyssals here.

Also, it was quite impossible for Ji Yuan to fight against the entire city of abyssals; he was not a one man army with unlimited profound strength like in the cultivation stories that could weirdly become so strong that they could destroy entire planets and yet they often fight on the ground without destroying the entire planet.

Ji Yuan also saw that there were many types of abyssals around.

Gong Muk proceeded to introduce the Red Abyssals, Green Abyssals and Brown Abyssals to him. Also, there were also the Royal Abyssals that were black and they had more horns on their heads.

Ji Yuan recalled that he seemed to have killed a royal abyssal and that he even had two celestial-step profound treasures which were all plundered by Xiang Li and Anyang.

Also, there were also other weird abyssal races like the almost humanoid Fells; the males have horns like rams while the females have smaller horns. Their facial colors ranged from red, purple and blue. 

Gong Muk told Ji Yuan that the female Fells with the pinkish colors were the more desirable abyssals and they were often the concubines or the sexual slaves of the powerful abyssal lords as they were much tougher than the females of the non-abyssal races.

Ji Yuan weakly thought: These abyssals are all twice as tall as me. Of course, these non-abyssal maidens will break…

He also saw the Hulks, which were 3-4 heads taller than him and they looked almost human except that they were all quite muscular. There were Grey and Green Hulks. 

Gong Muk said to him, "The Grey Hulks are the intelligent master race while the more muscular Green Hulks were actually the inferior ones and mostly served as guards or slaves."

Ji Yuan bitterly said, "So if these hulks are a type of abyssal race, then they would also be slaves of the other abyssals?"

Gong Muk sighed heavily, "The dirt poor and low cultivation realm abyssals are often lowly slaves to the powerful abyssals. The abyssals are a cruel people even to their own. Many of the abyssal slaves are actually from the other abyssal kingdoms and are captured during a raid." 

All of a sudden Ji Yuan spotted a winged humanoid flying with great speed ahead. 

Ji Yuan asked Gong Muk, "What is that race?"

Gong Muk looked startled as well but he answered nevertheless, "That is an Ancient Old One. They are quite rare and rarely seen. I don't know why he is here but he is definitely not from around here."

Ji Yuan asked curiously, "Ancient Old One? That doesn't exactly sound like a race name."

Gong Muk whispered, "It is said that the Ancient Old Ones were once the supreme rulers of the Dark Abyssal before the Coming."

"The Coming?" Ji Yuan frowned, "What is that?"

Gong Muk said with great reverence, "There are 3 main abyssal events which are the Beginning, the Tiding and the Coming. The Ancient Old Ones are like the holy priests of the abyssal races and they are untouchable. They had their own abyssal cultivation sect in the Nightfall Heights and all the kings of the abyssal kingdoms accord to them the highest religion respect."

Ji Yuan frowned, "I didn't know that the abyssals have a religion." 

Gong Muk said respectfully, "We believe in the Holy Communism." 

Ji Yuan weakly asked, "May I know what is the beliefs behind this Holy Communism thing?"

Gong Muk answered him with pride, "We believe in the Holy Communism and the Ancient Ones hope to create a classless society which everyone shares the benefits of labor and the central state controls all property and wealth."

Ji Yuan: …

"What the heck? Classless society? Then how come you still have slaves? And rich and poor abyssals?"

Gong Muk said casually, "Empyrean Ji Yuan, this is only your misunderstanding about the Holy Communism. Naturally we still need leaders to be in charge to achieve utopia in the end. The rule of the leaders therefore must be absolute over the common citizen's personal choice and his wealth."

Ji Yuan weakly said, "This is called utopia? It sounds more like dictatorship or authoritarian."

Gong Muk explained and he could not see that Ji Yuan was being sarcastic, "The road to utopia is the final phase and it is the hardest. It requires all non-communists to be destroyed in order for the Holy Communist to achieve supreme equality. For this, we strive to strive to promote the Holy Communism through the Six Immortal Realms by waging wars and to re-educate them."

Ji Yuan: …

This is a pure power play and only the dictator calls the shots here. Are you stupid or what?

Gong Muk explained, "Do you wish to be converted to the Holy Communist and bring it back to your world? It will surely benefit your world very well." 

Ji Yuan: …

"No," He weakly answered.

Gong Muk looked disappointed and said regretfully, "All the other worlds are under the depraved rule of the dictatorship. It is a pity that you cannot set them freed."

Ji Yuan frowned, "This place has a king, right? Surely you don't vote for your king, right?"

Gong Muk smiled with pride, "Our king is an elected king. He is elected every 5 years and he is a popular king. He has 100% of the votes."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

He bitterly said, "He sure sounds like a popular king."

Gong Muk grinned, "Yes, he is a popular king. He is always personally leading and in charge of all the crisis in our Nefarious Blood Kingdom. Right now, he has envisioned a One Road and One Belt for the abyssal kingdoms to forge better trade and wealth together."

Ji Yuan said sarcastically, "Well, he sounds like he wants to be an Abyssal Emperor."

Gong Muk grinned with great pride, "Then we shall gladly support him to be the abyssal emperor!"

Ji Yuan thought weakly to himself: Well, I guess that these abyssals are all brainwashed by this Holy Communism thing. This religion is so evil and is like a cancer that will spread to the rest of the other worlds. The poor is the majority actually. This evil doctrine sounds nice in theory and it benefits the majority of the poor but it is actually an evil scheme by these elite abyssals to control the masses. Also, because they know that they would never succeed in bringing utopia to the masses that they even use this evil doctrine to bring wars on the other races after everyone is converted to Holy Communism here. What a lame excuse."

Fairy Anyang said to Ji Yuan: This Holy Communism has actually been spread by the abyssals to the Celestial Realm and the Immortal Realm in the past. It had caused many wars and the abyssals are able to convert many to their cause by brainwashing them with their great lies. At one point of a time, they had even disguised this Holy Communism as Socialism and Authoritarian. This is an utter false and evil doctrine or religion movement to benefit only a single person by pretending to be a kindly head of state while suppressing all their freedom and wealth for the powerful.

Ji Yuan asked: They are not sharing any wealth with this Holy Communism doctrine?

Fairy Anyang giggled: The powerful share the wealth by reaping it from the poor. The whole system forces them to join the Holy Communism movement or be punished by the leadership. That is why this Gong Muk appeared to be delightful with pride about any proclaimed achievements of the kingdom even though it got nothing to do with him anyway. He is an example of a brainwash abyssal by the Holy Communism. The poor exists to adulate the leaders and the state only. 

Ji Yuan bitterly said: Then these Ancient Old Ones may be more influential and dangerous than we have thought for creating such a dangerous and evil doctrine.
