Chapter 761 A Well-Rested Ji Yuan
Spirit Divine Realm, in the city-state of the Snowy Pavilion City.
Ji Yuan had taken 5 days to cultivate back all his profound strength. It was a relative short period of time since he was not injured and also the spiritual aura here was much stronger than the Celestial Realm and even the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.
Both Xiang Li and Anyang were excited to see that Ji Yuan had finally finished with his cultivation.
“My lord, you are back already!”
“Big Brother, you are finally done with your meditation!”
Ji Yuan chucked aloud, “I have never felt so alive. Haha… it seems that I’ve also gained a little attainment in my cultivation as well.”
Xiang Li asked curiously, “But Big Brother, aren’t you a peaked great saint now? Your cultivation is still able to improve?”
Ji Yuan: …
“Xiang Li, you are really the noob in cultivation. Without me, how do you expect to even survive to the 6th level of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth? I don’t think my Elder Li Ye or Brother Guo Taiming is able to do so as well.”
Xiang Li giggled, “Big Brother, you have forgotten that I am a spirit entity. I don’t need to cultivate myself.”
Ji Yuan frowned, “I feel that I am a fool to explain it to a spirit entity like you. It is no wonder that you can’t help me to cheat in the cultivation examination trial a while back ago. Let me explain again…”
“We have seven divinities in our cultivation realms; Practitioner, Master Practitioner, Enlighten Celestial, Immortal Celestial, Golden Celestial, Golden Supremacy and Sacred Saint…”
“And the Sacred Saint divinity itself is further divided into a holy saint and the great saint cultivation realm. In order to become a great saint, you need to overcome your lightning tribulation at the middle sacred saint stage of divinity first. More on this soon…”
“Now every divinity itself we have 4 main divine stages or tiers; initial or lower, middle, upper and peaked…”
“Every stages or tiers, we have 4 steps; half-step, mortal-step, earth-step and the heaven-step…”
“Now if you are at the half-step of an initial sacred saint, it also means that you are just a half-step saint because you haven’t fully become a holy saint of the initial stage yet. For that you need to reach the mortal-step first, which is crucial to stabilize the current state of divinity…”
“And every step, it is further divided into 4 essences…”
“The steps are further divided into the 4 essences of Body, Spirit, Soul, Mind in which every essence has 10 levels…”
“I feel an improvement in my essence cultivation. Got it?”
Xiang Li looked sheepish as she giggled, “But Big Brother. Your Xiang Li don’t need to know about the other divinities. This is too complex. When I know you, you’re already a saint! Then middle saint. And we have overcome the lightning tribulation together and you have become a great saint. Now you are a peaked great saint. Heehee!”
Ji Yuan righteously pointed out, “This is a wrong mindset! You have to learn! For a genius like me, I am striving for all my essence to be level 10…”
“Also,” he grinned. “If you don’t know about this then you don’t know why in all the cultivation stories, a lower realm MC is able to defeat a higher realm cultivator. That is because they all have this unspeakable cultivation mini-levels that no one is talking about…”
“Except that, no one knows their exact levels in their essences.” Fairy Anyang giggled. “But we all know that our lord’s cultivation is pretty weak in all the areas because we never see him really trying to improve on his cultivations except his lower body.”
Ji Yuan: …
This was a tight slap in his face.
“Hahaha…” Ji Yuan started to laugh weakly. “I am very sure that my Mind and Soul essence is really high level, right? After all, I am a sword saint that have achieved my sword intentions. Also didn’t Mo Ming says that my soul now is very pure?”
Fairy Anyang chuckled softly, “Maybe.”𝔫𝒪𝗏𝑒𝑙𝑛𝑒xt.𝒸𝑂𝓂
Xiang Li giggled, “But Big Brother, I do read cultivation stories. I am a Trial Spirit in charge of the trials and many of the cultivators had dropped their cultivation books in my place. Since I am bored, I read those.”
Ji Yuan laughed, “Now that’s my good Xiang Li…”
Xiang Li interrupted with a chuckle, “But in all the cultivation stories, it keeps talking about the disparity a cultivation realm is from another and how impossible it is for them to win. Yet the MC keeps winning despite having a much lower cultivation realm due to ‘cheats’. And then, they never meet anyone in the entire realm that can ever defeat defeat or kill them and the cultivation realm is so conveniently adjusted for them from the lowest and keep increasing at the higher levels. That is why I so love Big Brother.”
Ji Yuan asked with a frown, “What does loving me got to do with the cultivation stories that you’ve read?”
Xiang Li giggled, “When I know Big Brother, you’re already at the 7th sacred saint cultivation realm and you are still at the 7th sacred saint cultivation realm now.”
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
He quickly said with a heavy sigh, “None of you here are real cultivators here. You can’t understand the pains of cultivating for thousands of years just to have the chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm. Why did I have to give the immortal ascending profound pill to my old man… with that profound pill, I can be lazy for the rest of my celestial life and still ascend…”
Fairy Anyang had suddenly asked shyly as she interrupted Ji Yuan, “My lord. Erm, do you think that you can allow me to pick 1 more spirit dress? Please?”
Ji Yuan laughed, “Only 1 more? You can have 3 more. Haha… this your reward for cultivating so hard. Maybe it is also due to my Anyang that I have seen an improvement in my cultivation.”
Fairy Anyang was absolutely delighted and she was smiling beautifully, “Thank you, my lord! I’ll work even harder in the future!”
Time to spend more time on picking her 3 spirit dresses!
Xiang Li looked sheepishly at Anyang; she knows that Anyang had been spending her time choosing her spirit dress rather than cultivating the Golden Natal Divine Pearl.
But then, she had no right to expose Anyang since she was too lazy to cultivate with the Golden Natal Divine Pearl.
Maybe it is better for her Big Brother to cultivate it himself since he says he is the real cultivator.
Actually, it was not because Xiang Li and Anyang did not want to cultivate on the Golden Natal Divine Pearl; it was just that this was an immortal profound treasure and they did not see any immediate effect when they were cultivating on it.
Cultivation is truly slow and often takes a long time; it is not unusual for a cultivator to enter into seclusion for hundreds of years or even thousands of years with a powerful profound treasure.

When he had exited his short cultivation retreat, he went down to look for Maiden Flower Ju with a grin, “Is my Brother Xiao Muhan back already?”
Maiden Flower Ju was delighted to see him but she shook her head to his question, “Not yet. But Divine Consort Sun Dingjun had sent word that he will be back tonight.”
Ji Yuan was frowning all of a sudden: What the heck?! 5 Days?! Is he banging Divine Consort Sun Dingjun or what?!
Then he asked another question: Is Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei back yet?
Maiden Flower Ju shook her head, “My mistress is still not back yet.”
Ji Yuan was also startled by this reply.
Then he asked another question in an awkward manner, “I wonder if erm… Divine Consort Tang Manni has been here in the past 5 days to look for me?”
Maiden Flower Ju smiled at his question, “No. She didn’t come at all.”
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
He thought weakly to himself: I guess that I have to have a thick face and to go to her villa… hopefully she doesn’t drive me out like the last time. But what excuse should I use this time?
He was still thinking of asking her if he can be her champion. But he had somewhat screwed himself into a dead end and she was the only divine consort that he could ask now.
Xiang Li giggled: Big Brother, maybe you can pretend that you are dying? She will soften her heart for you for sure.
Ji Yuan said weakly to Xiang Li: I am a celestial and a great saint. Will I die so easily for no apparent reasons?
But he said aloud to Maiden Flower Ju, “Haha, I am going out now. See you soon.”
Maiden Flower Ju smiled, “Good luck on seeing Divine Consort Tang Manni.”
Ji Yuan: …
He asked weakly, “How do you know that I am going to look for her?”
Maiden Flower Ju chucked with a shy look, “Master Ji Yuan, it is all written all over your face.”
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
