The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 677 The Immortal Ascension Profound Pill



Ji Yuan was still feeling a throbbing aching in his heart when he had declared to everyone that they ought to take the 1st portal to exit the Goddess Star Palace.

He could not explain this grief that he was feeling. 

But he felt that this True Devil God was not as bad as he looked at the very start, for he had sacrificed himself to maintain the order of the universe. 

He began to mutter, “I wonder if it is possible for the True Devil God to revive?”

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing answered, “It is possible. But when he is revived, we will surely send him into the cycle of reincarnation again.”

Ji Yuan asked weakly, “How did you identify him in the first place?”

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing replied, “Unless he is awakened as the True Devil God and displays his entropy force, this may be a little hard. But even his mortal body would be much tougher than even the demonic body. So that may be a clue to his identity. Also, he cannot be born from any parents. And that is the second clue.”

Ji Yuan muttered to himself, “No parents?”

Ji Yuan had no parents as well and was an orphan until he was initiated by the White Sword Monarch, his old master to the Orthodox Sword Sect. 

As far as he had remembered, he was a wandering kid in the past. 

His mindless thoughts were interrupted by Old Reverend Beiyuan who was now sighing, “Now it is really farewell to everyone here. Soon we will be returning to the Great Beyond.”

Then he laughed as he patted the left shoulders of Ji Yuan a couple of times, “Hohohoho, thanks to you my disciple Ji Yuan. We are now able to escape from this prison…”

Ji Yuan interrupted weakly, “You know it is painful if you pat me like this…”

Old Reverend Beiyuan quickly switched his patting to the right of Ji Yuan’s shoulder, “Hohohoho…”

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

“You know that this is equally painful if you pat me like this because you are a God Immortal and that I have almost no resistance to your profound strength.”

Immediately Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu were laughing softly when they had heard Ji Yuan.

Somehow only Ji Yuan could still make everyone smiles with his casual comments even in the most unlikely of situations. 

Even the Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing could not resist a smile.

Old Reverend Beiyuan immediately patted his pot belly with a weak laughter, “Hohohoho. I didn’t know that you would be this weak, my disciple Ji Yuan.”

Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes and resisted the temptation to rebuke Old Reverend Beiyuan but it was only briefly. 

He grinned back, “You know. I may be wrong about this. So if you can’t escape from this place, don’t blame me for this. I am not following you into that portal.”

But Old Reverend Beiyuan did not mind Ji Yuan’s rebukes and laughed jovially, “At most, I just come back to this room again and to look for you again. Hohohohoho.”

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, “Then I hope that I’m right because I don’t want to ever see you again.”

Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed, “Not so easy, my disciple Ji Yuan…”

All of a sudden, he had flickered his fingers and shot a bolt of profound force into Ji Yuan. This startled Ji Yuan and the rest of the maidens! 

The Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu shouted immediately, “What did you just do to Ji Yuan?!”

“Why did you attack Ji Yuan for?!” Shui Xisi was startled as well.

Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng on the other hand, they had quickly regained their composure and were blinking at Old Reverend Beiyuan; it was because this profound attack was actually harmless.

Old Reverend Beiyuan explained with a loud chuckle, “Hohohoho. I have just placed my profound tracking in your soul sea. Even though I may be in the Great Beyond, but I would be able to know your location at any time.”

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Xiang Li offered a suggestion: Maybe this Old Reverend Beiyuan has a fetish for you, Big Brother…

Ji Yuan immediately rebuked Xiang Li with a helpless reply: Shut up, Xiang Li.

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had suddenly walked in front of Ji Yuan and she presented to him a shining profound pill.

Ji Yuan was surprised, “What is this?”

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing began to curl a smile, “This immortal pill is called the Immortal Ascension Profound Pill. It will enable you to ascend to the Immortal Realm…”

Then she turned to look at Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu, “Or you can give it to the others. I can tell that you may not necessarily require this Immortal Ascension Profound Pill. However, note that this is a miracle pill. Even if you are grievous injured, this miracle profound pill will still be able to aid you in your ascension. So, make full use of this.”

Ji Yuan muttered weakly as he took it, “This is a little too valuable for me to take…”

Even though he may have said that but he still took it nevertheless and his golden eyes were beaming with delight; now he could boast to the maidens in his group how good his future cultivation was. This would teach some of them from looking down at him. Hahaha…

Naturally his thoughts were revealed to Fairy Anyang and Xiang Li who were both covering their faces with their hands; this was so typical of Ji Yuan. 

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing smiled when she saw that Ji Yuan had taken the Immortal Ascension Profound Pill, “Consider this a gift to my disciple-nephew.” 

When Ji Yuan had heard her, he immediately bowed with his hands. “Hahaha… thank you to my martial-aunt as well.”

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing and Old Reverend Beiyuan were both smiling too; it was because they had both accepted Ji Yuan as their protégé disciple. 

Old Reverend Beiyuan chuckled aloud all of a sudden, “Hohohoho. There is something that I need to tell you. We have not entirely been truthful to you about this trial.”

Ji Yuan: ???

Bai Qianfeng, Yun Chi, Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress: ???

Old Reverend Beiyuan explained with a grin, “We are only scaring you when we have first met. But actually we are here as guardians to protect the celestials from the dangerous desolate and divine beasts in this place. Hohohoho…”

Ji Yuan blinked his golden eyes as he replied weakly, “Then are you joking about killing the immortals too?”

Old Reverend Beiyuan took a look at Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng before he slowly replied, “You know we can’t lie. So it is true that we have to exterminate any immortals here, especially the ones with the great desolate force.”

Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng: …

But Old Reverend Beiyuan simply shrugged his shoulders, “But since they are also my great mistress’ friend, we shall see about it in the future when I have talked to my great mistress again.”

Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng suddenly had a look of relief in their golden eyes…

Then Old Reverend Beiyuan looked at Ji Yuan with a grin that he had imitated from him, “I won’t forget to mention to my great mistress that it is you that have helped us to escape from the Goddess Star Palace. Hohohoho.

Ji Yuan weakly said, “You know what. I have a bad feeling about this if you do tell your great mistress that I have helped you. Maybe you shouldn’t have mentioned me. I don’t want to die from a sudden divine calamity. Hahaha…” 

Suddenly Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had interrupted them and she was smiling to Ji Yuan, “Enough of the chat. This will never end. We should go now. Farewell.”

Ji Yuan immediately bowed with his hands to bid them farewell and so did the maidens in his group. 

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing and Old Reverend Beiyuan began to turn around as they headed toward the 1st portal. 

Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed as he asked Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing, “So my junior sister, what is the first thing that you want to do when you are back to the Great Beyond?”

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had suddenly turned to say sharply to him, “I hope that you better don’t do anything that would make us return to this place.”

Old Reverend Beiyuan: …

With that, the two of you had disappeared into the 1st portal.

As for Ji Yuan and his group, they still had 1 day before the trial could end and this place was the safest place for him. So, they had decided to stay put in this place first. 

Ji Yuan began to rub his chin as he said to the maidens, “You know. I have been thinking of this. What if we happen to encounter the guardians in this place?”

All the maidens: …

Shui Xisi muttered weakly, “Ji Yuan, you are really too foul-mouthed. Why don’t you die instead?”

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, “Hahaha…”
