The Romantic Cultivator

Outside the legendary Secret Oracle Gate, the Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue was astonished how difficult it was for her to break the defensive immortal array that was blocking the entrance of the gigantic skulk.

It took her over an hour of trying until the first wave of 20 cultivators had arrived at the scene with their various flying mounts. 

She was sighing softly to herself, “Ji Yuan, I’m sorry. I hope that you can survive a little longer in there…”

But all of a sudden, she was astonished that she had recognized the male cultivator with the most splendid flying mount which was a drake like beast.

That male cultivator was actually the Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong and he had immediately approached her, “Maiden Chu Lixue, I really didn’t expect to find you here. Why are you here?”

He had thought that she had been summoned to stay with Ji Yuan in Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei’s tavern.

The Smiling Divine Maiden asked him with a look of surprise, “I am sightseeing around here when I’ve found this trial opening here.”

That was a lie of course.

But she quickly asked, “But how did you know that there is a trial opening here? This place is so far away from Snowy Pavilion City.”

Jiang Guanzhong laughed jovially, “I am afraid that is my secret. All I can tell you is that I have a special bloodline that can allow me to sense major profound disturbances from afar. That is why I am the Perfect Hero. I never miss anything important and always get all the best profound treasures in a trial. In fact, I am the top cultivator in my last 10 previous trials.”

Chu Lixue was stunned when she had heard him, as she weakly said. “You are indeed the Perfect Hero.”

But she quickly asked him, “Are you able to break through this defensive immortal profound array?”

Jiang Guanzhong took a look in the direction of the other 19 cultivators that were all trying to break part this defensive immortal profound array but it was still in futile. 

After a brief silence, he nodded slowly. “I can try.”

He was just pretending to think over a solution but he was actually able to destroy this defensive immortal profound array; it is because he is the Perfect Hero with the most numbers of secret cheats in the entire Celestial Realm.

But in order to impress the Smiling Divine Maiden, he was just waiting for the 19 cultivators to exhaust themselves.

He also knows that the Smiling Divine Maiden was now desperately waiting for someone to break this defensive immortal profound array. 

But where is Ji Yuan?

Is he waiting around here or already inside?

But he would not ask the Smiling Divine Maiden because it was not the time to arouse her suspicious about Ji Yuan.

He still wants to maintain his good impression in her eyes after he had almost screwed up previously. 

He took a look at his surroundings with his divine sense and soon he discovered a sniff of Ji Yuan’s profound signature with his secret cheat in his soul sea. 

And then he followed this sniff of profound signature and it had discovered inside this gigantic skull.

Then he began to smile in secret.

“This must be the legendary Secret Oracle Gate and inside, you may ask the Great Oracle of the Delphi any one question. However, this question is only restricted to the first cultivator that can find the Great Oracle of the Delphi.”

The Smiling Divine Maiden was surprised that the Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong even know this much about this trial even though he was not from the Spirit Divine Realm.

But she did not deny it or admit that he is right.

The Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong had actually learnt about the characteristics of this trial from Spirit Concubine Su Hong who sought to trick him with her honeycomb words.

But he was just too smart for her and he had turned the table around her by being the Perfect Hero and caused her to be in awe of him instead. 

And this had loosened her tongue as she told him all the things that she knows about the Spirit Divine Realm. 

When this Spirit Trial is almost over, he has already decided to kill this Spirit Concubine Su Hong off for daring to offend a Perfect Hero like himself, even though she was now a converted believer in him.

Only he, Jiang Guanzhong the Perfect Hero is the only inheritor of the True Devil God and he is also the New God of the 6 Immortal Divine Realms. 

The Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong waited until the 19 cultivators were almost exhausted and even the second wave of 38 cultivators that had come were also helpless in front of this immortal defensive profound array, before he stepped forward. 

He purposely said with a secret smile as he took out his saint-step divine sword, “Let me try. Maybe I can break this defensive profound array for all of us.”

“Are you joking with us?”

“We have so many of us and yet we can’t succeed but he alone can succeed?”

“He does have a beautiful face though…”

“Men are useless…”

“He is only boasting…”

“He is just 1 and we have 57 of us here…”

“Look. He is even using a divine sword. He must be a half-human…”

“He is stupid. He should break this complicated defensive profound array with the knowledge of the spirit intrinsic runes. Or else this will only be futile and it will only strengthen this immortal defensive profound array…”

The Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong ignored all of them as he raised his divine sword.

All of a sudden there was a large golden spirit talisman that appeared along the length of his divine sword, startling everyone including the Smiling Divine Maiden.

“He is able to combine the use of spirit talisman with his divine sword?”

“This is impossible…”

“He is the son of the heavens, a genius among the geniuses…”

“He looks so awesome now…”

The Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong was now looking quite awesome when he noticed the awe that he had inspired. 

And of course, he planned to awe the Smiling Divine Maiden and to bed her eventually; this is all part all his plans.

The hundreds of intricate runes that were on his giant spirit talisman were now slowly igniting 1 by 1 by a bright glow.

Many of the spirit cultivators were so captivated by this intrinsic talisman that they were trying to copy it with their memories but the sequences were so complex that they were lucky enough to remember even 10% of it.

The intricate runes that were on this spirit talisman were suddenly moving and re-arranging itself into a more profound spirit talisman after all the runes had been lit.

This stunned all the spirit cultivators that were looking at it for they had never seen any spirit talisman that could re-arrange itself after the spirit talisman had been formed and the re-arranged spirit talisman was even much more formidable than the initial spirit talisman!

Now they were completely lost! 

The Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong had suddenly loosened his profound spirit talisman with a swing of his divine sword and he imbued it with his combined profound power of his spirit talisman and sword into one.

He was smiling in secret because these spirit cultivators would never be able to copy this awesome spirit technique of his because it was only complicated and they could not use a divine sword in the first place.

The gigantic spirit talisman flew into the immortal defensive profound array immediately and with a blinding light, it shattered the profound strength of the almost invisible immortal defensive profound array into nothingness. 

With a most awesome smile, the Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong said to everyone. “We may enter the trial now.”

Even the Smiling Divine Maiden was forced to admit in secret that the cultivation of this Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong was indeed superior to Ji Yuan. 

In a fight between Ji Yuan and the Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong, Ji Yuan may not win at all.

The Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong, the Smiling Divine Maiden and all the rest of the 57 cultivators quickly entered into the mouth of the gigantic skull.

When the Smiling Divine Maiden was inside the trial, she saw that they were all in a dense forest and the trees here were as tall as half a mile and even the trunks of the trees were at least 30m wide. 

She was dismayed that even the flying mount that she had brought along could not fly in this place and she could feel an intense pressure that was continuously sapping away her profound strength. 

Also, she had completely lost Ji Yuan’s profound signature in this strange place and she could no longer tell where he was now.

All the 57 cultivators were quickly scattered into the dense forest hoping to find some rare spirit plants or profound treasures. With a little luck, they may even find the Great Oracle of the Delphi! 

The Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong smiled to the Smiling Divine Maiden, “Maiden Chu Lixue, please follow me. This dense forest is filled with all kinds of dangers. I know precisely the way on how to avoid the dangers and we can even reach the Great Oracle of Delphi in no time.”

Although the Smiling Divine Maiden did not want to follow this Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong but she had wanted to reach out to Ji Yuan quickly as he may be in grave danger. So when the Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong had told her that she would be able to avoid the dangers that were presented here and even reached the Great Oracle of Delphi in no time, she nodded and said, “Alright then. Please lead the way.”

The Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong displayed a subtle curled smile when the Smiling Divine Maiden had agreed to follow him. 

+1 Trust Points with the Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue.

He was already thinking to himself: So Ji Yuan, your Chu Lixue is going to spend 3 days with me. How do you feel about this?𝔫𝞸𝑣𝔢𝓁𝑛𝐞xt.𝗰𝗈𝗆
