The Romantic Cultivator

The Eons Firmament Mountains.

Night.

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily had returned to the Eons Firmament Mountains once again. 

This was actually the second time that she had been here. The first time was not too long ago and that was to punish Number 2 Murong Yue for acting on her own orders. 

The irony was that she was now also acting on her own orders even though the Great Demon God had sternly said that all operations to the Eons Firmament Mountains should cease for now and until further notice. 

She flew quietly and landed on top of a mountain ledge; as an immortal, she would muster her profound animus and flew on her own. 

She remembered that she had once lost a game of chance against 3 maidens in this place. As for their names, she did not know nor care to know. After all, they were just inferiors and just got lucky. 

But there would not be a next time. 

These 3 unknown maidens were actually Fairy Ye Chengxi, Sword Saintess Jian Yuluo and Shui Qingqing. 

She did not go to the base of the Eons Firmament Mountains directly as she could sense that there were many celestials in that place and she did not want to fight against so many celestials at the same time. 

Moreover, she had just one objective and that was to find this Ji Yuan and to check how good he was. Was he really in this place or in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth?

eαglesnovel`c,om Actually, she was aware of the Goddess Mel little scheme and that was to force her to handle Saintess Fang Zhenfei. 

It was not impossible for her to handle Saintess Fang Zhenfei on her own but there was a little problem that she did not want to risk; it was because her cultivation realm was still being suppressed to the peak of the eighth immortal positioning. 

And Saintess Fang Zhenfei was someone that could defeat the Desolate Dragon God at his peak. And this caused her to be curious. 

How did she manage to do it when she is only a great saintess at the 7th cultivation realm?

However, she has no interest to fight with a power cultivator and she is only interested to duel with a sword cultivation like this Sword Saint Ji Yuan. 

When she is fighting with this Ji Yuan, naturally she would be suppressing her own cultivation realm to match his level or else this would not be a fair sword fight. 

She is already playing with the thought of suppressing this Ji Yuan with her sword intentions and humiliated him for being a good-for-nothing sword saint. 

It is because no one understands the art of the sword better than her and she only seeks out her opponent out of boredom and she wants to humiliate all the best swords in the Six Divine Realms. 

As she walked along this familiar trek that she had also visited some time ago, she spotted a memorial marker.

Curiously she took a look at the words on the memorial marker and it read: Here lies Sky Forth, the precious sword of my Master Ji Yuan. From your unfilial disciple and consort Fairy Ye Chengxi.

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao frowned softly when she saw the name of Ji Yuan being engraved onto the stone memorial marker. 

Precious sword?! 

Is it a divine sword?

All of a sudden, she had suddenly remembered the precious sword that Number 2 Murong Yue had broke and one of the maidens had suddenly become quite upset over it. 

And this same maiden had also won the game of chance against her. 

She pondered to think to remember that maiden name, “Did she say that her name is Ye Chengxi that day? It is just an inferior sword. Why does she have to put so much attachment into it? It isn’t even a divine sword and it can’t regenerate itself once it is broken anyway.”

She began to hum coldly at the foolishness and naiveties of these celestials who placed such emotion attachments to the worldly objects around them. 

All of a sudden she was interrupted by a movement behind her and she saw a beautiful maiden that was approaching in her direction. 

This beautiful maiden was actually a golden celestial. 

The same beautiful maiden was equally surprised to see her standing next to the memorial marker. 

The beautiful maiden was soon smiling as she looked curiously at Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao, “Maiden, I don’t remember seeing you around. Who are you? By the way, my name is Shangguan Yan.”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily smiled, “I am a lowly celestial from one of the celestial sects here. I am just curious at this memorial marker here and so I am just taking a look.”𝔫𝓞𝗏𝑒𝗅𝗇𝐄xt.𝒸𝒪𝗆

She was indeed a lowly celestial now; it was because she had used the Mystic Eyes Cultivation Profound Art to change her eyes color.

Shangguan Yan nodded and smiled, “How may I address you? Maybe I can help you?”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was thinking whether she should kill this Shangguan Yan but when she had heard that this maiden may be able to help her so she smiled, “I am Maiden Xiao. I am just wondering where this Sword Saint Ji Yuan is now. I’d like to meet him.”

Shangguan Yan smiled, “It isn’t easy to meet him and that is because he is inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth now. But if Maiden Xiao would really like to meet him then perhaps, I can make an introduction for you in the future.”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao looked surprised, “You can? Are you from the same celestial clan as him?”

Shangguan Yan smiled, “A beautiful maiden like Maiden Xiao is surely to attract his attention. Therefore I should help to make such an introduction in the future.”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was thinking: So, this Ji Yuan is nothing but a lecherous fool.

All of a sudden Shangguan Yan giggled softly as she ran off, “I just remember that I’ve got something really important. Remember my name is Shangguan Yan. Don’t forget my name, Maiden Xiao. Farewell!”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao frowned slightly when Shangguan Yan had suddenly left just like this and she thought: Consider yourself lucky tonight. So it seems that I should go to the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth instead…

She had not expected that she would get this piece of information so readily and without creating a disturbance. Is this supposed to be her lucky day?

Shangguan Yan on the other hand had fled as quickly as possible; it was because she knew that this maiden was too dangerous and she could sense her hidden killing intents.

In terms of sensing the intents of her opponents, Shangguan Yan has almost no equal. 

Also, she had heard from her Sister Consort Fairy Ye Chengxi about a maiden with white hair that had challenged her to a game of chance and she had a strong guts that this Maiden Xiao may be the very same person. 

Even though her sword skill may be slow but her intellect is superior than most. 

The instant that she had seen this Maiden Xiao, she could sense her hidden killing intent that she had concealed on purpose and that was why she had purposely greeted her in an amicable manner to put her off guard. 

Her suspicious was further confirmed that this Maiden Xiao was a spy when she did not state which celestial sect that she has belonged to. 

Shangguan Yan was too smart to tell her to clarify this or else it would surely raise her suspicious. 

Rather she had pretended to be offering her a helping hand. 

When she had learnt that this Maiden Xiao was looking for Ji Yuan, she was quite amused because in the Eons Firmament Mountains, everyone knows of Ji Yuan as the Great Hero Ji Yuan and that he was not in the Eons Firmament Mountains but this Maiden Xiao actually did not know about this.

She was really not a good spy. 

But Shangguan Yan had purposely told her where Ji Yuan was and she had also used this little distraction to escape as soon as possible. 

There was a reason why Ji Yuan had once taken Shangguan Yan as his direct protégé in the past and that was because he had found the young Shangguan Yan to be really sharp with her instinct and that she could easily channeled profound energies into sword energies. 

But Ji Yuan had made one mistake that caused him to almost cough out blood and he did not know that Shangguan Yan was ever so slow in her sword arts and he had to scold her constantly to be better. 

Shangguan Yan’s main strengths were never her sword arts but her quick instincts and sharp wits.
