The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan naturally picked the portal to advance to the next level of the Inner Pangu Citadel and he was also the first cultivator to step into the Inner Pangu Citadel.

He found himself in a dark spatial space that he was expecting and the old voice of the trial spirit soon thundered, “You are the first cultivator to have passed the trial and also the first cultivator to enter the Inner Pangu Citadel. Therefore your reward will be…”

Ji Yuan laughed as he interrupted, “This is nothing at all. This trial is so easy. I don’t really expect getting a good reward from this trial.”

“Ignorant mortal.” The old voice of the trial spirit mocked loudly. “It isn’t because the reward isn’t good but your talent is low.”

Ji Yuan: …

“My talent will be low?!” Ji Yuan returned a look of disbelief. “What does my talent have to do with this reward of yours?”

The old voice of the trial smirked coldly, “That is because I will be showing you a profound sword art. It will only be shown only once. How much of this sword art that you can grasp is up to your talent.”

Ji Yuan was startled, “A sword art?”

He was immediately excited; it was because his Major Heavens Sword had originated from the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and was his sword sect secret sword art. He had always dream of obtaining a power sword art from the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth as well.

“Well, this better be good. I hope it isn’t inferior to my Major Heavens Sword…no, it has better be better than Feiyue and Qianxue sword arts or I can’t hold my head in front of them…no, better be better than Jiajia’s sword art. Hoho, if it is a supreme sword art then it is even better…Haha-“

“It depends on your talent, cultivator.” The old voice of the trial spirit interrupted him.

Ji Yuan laughed, “Of course I’ve the talent. I am a genius sword cultivator. Haha.”

Xiang Li giggled inside Ji Yuan’s soul sea. “Of course! Big Brother definitely has talent!”

Anyang said weakly, “Wooing maidens is his only talent.”

Ji Yuan said to Anyang, “C’mon Anyang, you ought to have stronger faith in me. After all, we have divine harmonized with each other already. Surely you know how strong I am.”

Anyang smiled awkwardly, “Super strong in your  addiction of your masculine pills, I can see that.”

Ji Yuan: Haha…

The old voice of the trial spirit suddenly said and this returned Ji Yuan’s attention to his surroundings, “Look carefully into the light.”

There were illusions of a hundred swords flying in the light and Ji Yuan could see the profound energies linking to each of the flying swords.

Ji Yuan instantly knew that these profound energies were like the profound energies that linked to his soul sea and teaching him how to comprehend the sword stances of this new sword art.

His eyes began to flash nonstop as the sword stances began to change very fast.

Instantly he had comprehended his Major Heaven Sword to a higher understanding at the same time as he grasped softly, “I didn’t know it can be done in this way. No wonder my old master had told me that it is important for me to find a superior sword energy sword art in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth so that I may delve deeper into the Major Heaven Sword.”

After an unknown time had passed, the light disappeared and the shadows of the sword had also faded.

The old voice of the trial spirit smirked coldly, “I hope that you may be inspired by this sword art. However this may be a little tough since this is a sword energy sword art-“

“What is the name of this sword art?” Ji Yuan interrupted with soft gasps. “This sword art is too amazing. Maybe it is almost on the level of the Million Flashes Sword Art.”𝑵𝒐𝑣ℯ𝓵𝓷𝞮xt.𝔠𝒐𝓂

Ji Yuan was naturally referring to the Million Flashes Sword Art, a supreme sword art that caused a great war in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity thousands of years ago.

​ The old voice of the trial spirit answered nonchalantly, “The name of this sword energy sword art is called the Sacred Swords. The sword stance that you’ve witnessed is the Thousands Sacred Swords. However it may be a long time for you to really master this sword art since this is the highest level that you can actually reach. It is up to you to create the basics and the steps to reach this unfathomable sword art.”

Ji Yuan looked impressed as he nodded, “Usually a master will divide the stances into 9 levels and set a target for their protégés to reach the zenith of their secret sword art.”

“This is up to you to decide.” Then the old voice of the trial spirit added with some sarcastic, “So which level of the Sacred Swords have you mastered?”

Ji Yuan immediately flashed his two saint-step divine swords and the after-images of hundreds of swords began to flash all around him. “I have fully mastered it naturally. This Sacred Swords is sure exhausting to use for my current cultivation strength. Thank goodness that I’ve mastered the physical embodiment form of my Major Heaven Sword or else I won’t be able to master it.”

Then all of a sudden Ji Yuan said, “Are you sure you show me everything? Because I sense that I can further condensed this sword stance even further.”

Without waiting for the trial spirit to say anything, Ji Yuan had suddenly condensed all the after-images together and there was a thunderous drift that appeared above the dark spatial space.

Then Ji Yuan was coughing weakly as he felt all his cultivation strength withdrawing and attempting to crush in a backlash against him.

He thought, “I don’t have enough profound strength to display this stance?”

Without thinking further, he quickly summoned his immortal spirit entity to display his profound strength to the eighth cultivation level.

All of a sudden, the entire dark spatial space was shaking violently as a brilliant sword energy exploded through the drift in a pillar of brilliant white flare light, stunning Ji Yuan.

Even the trial spirit was stunned as his old voice gasped with shock, “This is the Sacred Sword Pillar…”

Ji Yuan could sense the destructive profound energies that had just flashed in front of him, “You old goat. So there is really another stance and yet you did not tell me…”

But before Ji Yuan could scream further his displeasure, he was kicked out of the dark spatial space in a brilliant flash of light. Or rather, he had accidentally destroyed the dark spatial space with the sword energies that he had just created.

The old voice of the trial spirit could be heard muttering with shock, out of ear-shot from Ji Yuan. “This Sacred Swords is actually a Supreme Sword Art but you have unlocked it as a Miracle Sword Art. This is impossible for a seventh realm cultivator…no wait, did he just display his cultivation strength to the eighth level? And he has an immortal spirit entity?!”
