The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan actually did not enter the trial immediately.

Instead, he waited for three more days.

It was because he had expended all his profound strength and there was no way that he was in the right condition to enter the trial.

Therefore he had to regain his profound strength first by resting and consuming profound pills for the next three days.

The profound strength that he had lost was temporary and not the same as a cultivation realm breakthrough when the cultivator’s inner cultivation sea would be consumed. This consumes the vital energies that were provided by the inner cultivation sea instead. With some profound pills and rest, the vital energies would be quickly regained.

The strength of the cultivator’s inner cultivation sea would determine the rate of recovery in the vital energies.

Profound arts are naturally powered by a cultivator’s vital energies and the strength of the profound art would be determined by the cultivator’s profound strength. When it means that a cultivator had exhausted his profound strength in battle, it actually means that he had exhausted his vital energies that provide the endurance to display his cultivation arts.

Ji Yuan with his high level spiritual and soul force naturally had a formidable vast reserve of inner cultivation sea inside his inner soul now.

On the other hand, replenishing the inner cultivation sea once it was lost, was often an extremely tedious that would require months or years, requiring high grade spirit stones and expensive profound pills.

Even the cultivator’s profound strength would be limited because the inner cultivation sea would only produce a limited flow of vital profound energies to power their cultivation arts.

Therefore after a major realm breakthrough, most cultivators would spend time for quiet meditation to regain as much of their spiritual sea as possible.

Some may even take as long as ten years and hundreds of years, especially if they are poor or have been cultivating in the mountains where the spiritual force is weak.

It may seem a long time to the mortals and the lowly cultivators but to a high level cultivator, it was only a blink of an eye.

High level cultivators would often enter seclusion for hundreds of years to delve into the mysteries of the cultivation.

Ji Yuan was quite a genius to have achieved his seventh realm breakthrough in just a hundred years. But of course the divine sword that Jiajia had given him played a major part too. It was because during a major breakthrough, having a divine sword would mean a matter of life and death. Without a divine sword, the chances of overcoming the life and death tribulation would lower considerably.

Ji Yuan only required three days to regain most of his profound strength and he was almost ready to enter the trial.

He was sighing. “Alas, the spiritual force on the fourth level is so much stronger than the lower levels.”

The lower levels of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth had a poor rate to prevent the stronger cultivators from regaining their profound strength quickly so as to prevent them from oppressing the weaker cultivators.

“I’ve thought that I may need a week or more to regain my profound strength….” He was sighing again.

As he was meditating alone, Bai Qianfeng had suddenly approached him from behind as she said quietly. “My lord, I need to talk to you.”

Ji Yuan was immediately aroused by her presence as he lit an energetic smile, “Qianfeng, you’re here. Haha, I miss you dearly.”

Bai Qianfeng seemed to look around before she whispered with a soft sigh. “My lord, you have really met with the Death God Mingwang?”

Ji Yuan was startled. “You believe me?”

Bai Qianfeng nodded lightly. “I believe you.”

Ji Yuan smiled weakly, “Then, why don’t you say something a few days ago?”

“I didn’t want the rest to know about him.” Bai Qianfeng said quietly.

“Why so?” Ji Yuan asked curiously.

Bai Qianfeng averted her eyes quickly before saying. “It is impossible for celestials to know the name of the Death God Mingwang. Only the desolate immortals know of their existences. Can you share with Qianfeng on your fight with him? I am curious to know.”

​ Ji Yuan answered. “Um, sure…this is the account…”

…

…

…

“That is how I’ve defeated him.” Concluded Ji Yuan after retelling his fight with the Death God Mingwang.

Bai Qianfeng slowly nodded and there was a solemn look in her eyes.

Finally after a lapse of silence, she said quietly. “The Death God Mingwang is one of the three Demon Kings of the Desolate Realm. If he is in the Celestial Realm then it is of great concern. The Death God Mingwang is a vengeful God and if he fails to kill you this time, there won’t be a next time. He never fails in his vengeful hunt even if it takes him thousands of years.”

Ji Yuan: …

Does he have to be so serious…

“Even the Righteous Immortals may not know of their existences because they are not from the Immortal Realm.”

“Not from the Immortal Realm? Then what are they?” Ji Yuan was startled.

“They are the original denizens and rulers of the Desolate Realm. When the Great God Pangu had banished the Ancient Fortress to the Desolate Realm, it was only then that we’ve known of their existence. And they are very formidable immortals.” Bai Qianfeng added.

Ji Yuan smiled weakly, “Even more powerful than the three great immortals?”

The three great immortals are the Great God Pangu, the Great Lord Xuan Yuan and the World Ruler Fu Xi.

Bai Qianfeng replied solemnly, “They’re on par with them.”

Ji Yuan: …

“But in recent years, the Great Demon God has proven to be the more powerful immortal of the Three Demon Kings of the Desolate Realm. For an unknown reason, even the Death God Mingwang and the Desolate Dragon God have submitted to him.”

Bai Qianfeng said quietly. “We have actually not heard from them for a long time because the Great Desolate Realm is a big realm. To think that the Death God Mingwang is actually here.”

Ji Yuan smiled weakly. “Do you think that the Great Demon God may be in the Celestial Realm? This is impossible, am I right?”

“He is equivalent to a Great God. He definitely has the means to anchor himself to the Celestial Realm.” Bai Qianfeng replied quietly.

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly. “I hope not. If not, Jiajia may be in danger.”

Bai Qianfeng replied. “I hope not too that the Great Demon God Shenmu is the mastermind behind the Evil Cultivation Master. We have no means to defeat such a formidable great god. Even if he isn’t here, just the Death God Mingwang or the Desolate Dragon God Longdi alone will be a terrible headache for us to deal with.”

“Aren’t immortals restricted in their cultivation strength here? Didn’t you say that you will face a backlash if you use your cultivation strength beyond the seventh realm cultivation here? So we have a hope.” Ji Yuan pointed out with a hopeful look.

Bai Qianfeng inhaled softly, “They are great gods. Even their seventh realm cultivation strength can produce profound power that is greater than any eighth realm immortals, especially when they have a divine sword in their hands.”

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly. “They may not be invincible in the Celestial Realm. If not, they would have turned the Celestial Realm havoc a long time ago.”

Bai Qianfeng slowly nodded. “But why are they in the Celestial Realm? Or rather, why is the Death God Mingwang here in this place? If he is in the Immortal Realm then he can certainly turn the Immortal Realm upside down.”

Then she added bitterly. “If they are on our side then we won’t lose the Ancient Fortress and the war with the Pangu Immortals…”

“Qianfeng, you’re not a desolate immortal anymore. You’re now a righteous immortal now. Haha.” Ji Yuan grinned.

Bai Qianfeng averted her eyes as she said with great melancholy. “I may be a righteous immortal but my heart is with the desolate immortals…”

Ji Yuan laughed softly as he grabbed her waist while staring down her bosoms. “Your heart is with me now. Since you’re here, why don’t we erm…”

Xiang Li was immediately aroused from her drowsiness in Ji Yuan’s soul sea as she shouted. “Yes! Yes! Finally!”

Bai Qianfeng gasped softly. “My lord, do you think of this all the time? You have already got into so much trouble because of what you’ve done recently.”

Ji Yuan rubbed his chin, “What trouble?”

“The black panties and the event that happened three days ago.” Bai Qianfeng reminded him.

Ji Yuan frowned. “Don’t remind me of this…”

But he quickly grinned as he pressed onto her. “Qianfeng, I am dying to make love with you…”

“Hmph!” Bai Qianfeng hummed softly as she pushed him away. “So you like to play a bondage game with Sisi.”

Ji Yuan smiled weakly. “It is only a misunderstanding. Things aren’t what you’ve seen.”

“Are you saying that she forces you to do so?”

Ji Yuan laughed weakly. “You can suppose so.”

Bai Qianfeng: …

“Hmph! I am not talking to you anymore…”𝗇𝑂𝚟𝗲𝐥𝑵𝓮xt.𝑐𝑂𝓂

But before she could get away, Ji Yuan had rolled her onto the ground as he said gently to her. “Qianfeng, the night is short but my passionate heart for you is deep. I’m not going to let you go.”

Bai Qianfeng averted her eyes with a light flush before she slowly nodded. “Only on one condition first.”

Ji Yuan laughed. “Don’t say one condition, even ten conditions are fine with me! Haha!”

Bai Qianfeng lit a slow smile. “Don’t be in a hurry to say it so soon first.”
