The Romantic Cultivator

Unknown to Ji Yuan, Destiny was actually listening to his conversations with the Trial Spirit. 

There was a woeful look in her when Ji Yuan had left. 

By now, she had already sent Tang Manni and Ding Jie’Er into her Delphi Palace while she had stayed behind.

The conversations that she had overheard were quite fuzzy but it was actually not a problem for her to overhear since she was a half-step true divinity and also because Ji Yuan was not totally in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth yet so she could still hear him.

But this may be the last conversation that she would be hearing from Ji Yuan unless Ji Yuan had chosen to communicate with her via the skull ring. 

“The Lesser Heavenly Dao?!”

She was quite shocked to hear that this was actually Ji Yuan’s reward.

It was because with a glimpse of the Lesser Heavenly Dao, she could become a True Divinity much, much sooner.

She could gauge from Ji Yuan’s bitter voice that he was quite blue and black about this.

“Alas, Ji Yuan. You don’t know how great a reward it is, do you? For immortals that want to cultivate as a peaked 9th immortal, half-step True Divinity and True Divinity, the insights from the Lesser Heavenly Dao is crucial for any breakthroughs….”

There are 3000 Great Heavenly Dao in the entire universe and every single one of them could propel a cultivator to the peak of cultivation for these 3000 Great Heavenly Dao are the concepts and laws of the entire universe. 

And the immortals have also called these 3000 Great Heavenly Dao as also the 3000 Great Mystic Worlds to represent the 3000 Heavenly Dao. 

However, Ji Yuan is still very young and he could see no benefit in it. Moreover, he has already cultivated to the peak of his cultivation realm now. 

But he is not top because he had only focused on his body, mind and energy; his other aspects such as his aura, spirit, soul, defense and power are not even average. 

“Ji Yuan, you are the True Devil God so this Lesser Heavenly Dao will be able to unlock your true potential sooner than you have expected. This will be good for you…”

She was actually quite green with envy as she thought, “I have better returned to my Entropy Realm to recuperate for my injuries and for my final breakthrough to the True Divinity…”

When she had completed her black rod of destiny, she had already stepped into True Divinity but she was being suppressed while she was here and also because she had not stabilized her cultivation boundaries yet. So it was not a real breakthrough. It was just that she had not fully stepped into the True Divinity boundary yet. 

For that, she would need all the cultivation resources of the Entropy Realm and she may even be forced to return as the Chaos Empress Sovereign.

Only then would she be of help to Ji Yuan in his fight against the Great Demon God and his other powerful minions.

Just as she had just calmed herself on this resolution, she had overheard the Trial Spirit telling Ji Yuan that his second reward would be the Greater Heavenly Dao. 

When she had heard this, she nearly fainted with shock. 

“Greater Heavenly Dao?!” 

That would mean that Ji Yuan would be able to cultivate at least 10 times faster than anyone. 

As far as she knows, the only two immortals that have the Heavenly Dao on them are just the Great Beyond Goddess and the True Devil God as they have greater destinies than any of the first generation immortals.

Even Destiny only had a lesser fragment of the Heavenly Dao. 

She was gasping with shock, “This Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth is really a Beyond Divinity profound treasure and it can even be the Heavenly Dao itself. How can it even bestow a Greater Heavenly Dao as a reward? Don’t tell me that Ji Yuan now has the inheritances of the Great God Pangu?”

The Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth was a Beyond Divinity profound treasure that was brought over by the Great God Pangu when he had reached True Divinity and he had ascended to the mysterious Great Beyond where the Great Beyond Goddess was. 

When he was back to the Celestial Realm, he had the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth descended into the Celestial Realm as a every 500 years great trial where the golden celestials could benefit greatly with their cultivations from entering it. 

All of a sudden, she could not hear anything from Ji Yuan anymore. 

She was sighing; she had never thought that the Greater Heavenly Dao would take effect so immediately and was now protecting him from her scrying means.  𝑵𝗈𝑣𝓔𝓁𝑵𝗲xt.𝐜𝑜𝚖

Back to the spatial space where Ji Yuan was with the Trial Spirit.

He was now saying, “You must be the artefact soul of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and you are also the artefact soul of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth that I have been searching for. My reasons for guessing so, are because you have confiscated my golden talismans and also because you seem to know about my past experiences in the other trials…”

“If you have not taken my golden talismans or reveal to me that you know about my other trials. Also, you have called the other trial spirits as your friends, then I would never have guessed that you are the artefact soul.”

The Trial Spirit sighed, “That is because you are the most insolent and talkative cultivator that I have ever seen in all the tens of thousands in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. I can’t believe that I actually have to give you the Lesser Heavenly Dao and the Greater Heavenly Dao this day.”

Ji Yuan grinned, “So, since I have found you. Can you teach me how may I able to obtain you?”

The Trial Spirit laughed jovially, “Fat hope!”

“Are you male or female?” Ji Yuan asked curiously.

The Trial Spirit frowned, “Why should I tell you? Begone from here!”

Ji Yuan protested immediately, “Maybe you have a thing with that 3 spirit old men. They like men, I think…”

“I am a female!” The Trial Spirit said angrily.

Ji Yuan laughed, “Oh I see! But you shouldn’t have such a fierce temper you know. Because you are a maiden. My Xiang Li and Anyang are way better.”

The Trial Spirit: …

“You have taken Fairy Anyang from me and you dare to be disrespectful to me…”

Ji Yuan interrupted her with a soft sigh, however. “I think this may be the last time that I will be visiting the Spirit Divine Realm, am I right? Because the trial is over here. They won’t be another trial, right?”

The voice of the Trial Spirit composed itself, “You are right. How did you know?”

Ji Yuan said with a heavy sigh, “I’ve noticed that you have only opened the trials to the worlds where there are hotspots. If I am not wrong, then you are not simply an artefact soul to benefit the celestials but to the 3000 Great Worlds, am I right?” 

3000 Great Worlds is a figurative speech to mean the worlds at large as there are uncountable number of heavenly realms in the middle and lower heavens. 

The Trial Spirit chuckled softly, “You are the first cultivator to have guessed my true purpose. So now that you know my true purpose, do you want to obtain me anymore?”

Ji Yuan shook his head, “You are too important to be taken. It seems to me that even if I have found you, I don’t have the heart to take you even if I could do so. Right now, my Celestial Realm is facing a big threat from the Evil Cultivation Palace and also the Great Demon God. They are terrifying enemies that I have to defeat when I am back to the Celestial Realm.”

The Trial Spirit said, “I am aware of the evil presence that are in the Celestial Realm as well. The Great Demon God has sought to trap me in the Celestial Realm by blocking off the access to the Immortal Realm.”

Ji Yuan nodded, “So we are on the same side?”

The Trial Spirit said, “There is still a week left before the end of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. Why don’t we talk more if you can manage to resolve the SS Trial that will occur in the Dark Abyssal Realm?”

Ji Yuan blinked his eyes, “SS Trial? Dark Abyssal Realm?”

“The Dark Abyssal or the Dark Abyssal Realm is a middle realm of the Great Abyssal Immortal Realm.” The Trial Spirit explained.

Ji Yuan grinned, “Sure I can take a look there. But what if I can’t find it? Also, will that be a dangerous place?”

The Trial Spirit laughed softly, “I can provide you with my spirit mark for you to find it. As for that place, it is a most dangerous place. Do you have the guts to go to that place or are you a chicken?”

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, “I would be a chicken? Haha. You don’t have to trick me to go there. As for your challenge, I will accept it. But you must talk to me more before the end of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth to work on a plan. It is because we have a common enemy.”

The Trial Spirit hummed softly, but it was a lot of gentle than at the start. “We shall see about this…”

There was a bright flare of light as Ji Yuan received the spirit mark from the Trial Spirit. 

“Now begone from here!”
