The Romantic Cultivator



The Goddess Ai Tina had wrapped Ji Yuan and the Divine Consort Xu Yifei with her profound animus to pull them across the skies as they sped like a meteor. 

This was actually the first time that Ji Yuan was flying across the skies without a mount and he was muttering, "Is it safe at all?"

He was actually thinking: What if she drops me from above?

Well, he probably won't die since he can summon his desolate cherubim to slow down his descent and even float in mid-air.

The speed which the Goddess Ai Tina had carried them were actually faster than any flying mounts that Ji Yuan was accustomed to. 

He was thinking, it was no wonder why she had said that the place that she dwelled was 1000 times bigger than Snowy Pavilion City. 

The Goddess Ai Tina returned a wry smile at Ji Yuan, "Great Spiritas Hero don't like the feeling of flying through the heavens?"

Ji Yuan laughed bitterly, "I actually enjoy the feeling that I am able to fly like a bird. I feel so free."

"Heh! That's good then." The Goddess Ai Tina smiled at his response. "Then I can go even faster."

Ji Yuan stammered, "You can go even faster?"

Crap, he was getting a little dizzy now and felt like puking in the air. But the thought that his pukes may drop on the bosoms or the head of a beautiful maiden forced him to suppress his urge to puke immediately.

The Goddess Ai Tina did not respond to him and instead she had doubled her speed. 

Ji Yuan was thinking: My senior sister, I don't think you can ever catch up with me now…

4 hours later, they had come to a range of mountains that were covered with dense pink mists. 

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei said quietly, "We are not in the regions of the Northern Alliance Theology Olympiad for sure."

The Goddess Ai Tina nodded, "In the past, this place is known to me as the Great Primeval Spirit Mountains."

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei was startled, "It is still known by this name. This is a most dangerous place that are filled with the presence of the deadly primeval monsters. It is so dangerous that we are forbidden to come to this area…"

All of a sudden, she was interrupted by two loud shrieking as two monstrous winged lizards had suddenly emerged from the dense forest mists from the mountains below. 

Ji Yuan was also alarmed because these two monsters were equivalent to powerful 7th rank profound desolate monsters in his Celestial Realm.

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei shouted a warning, "These 2 are Primal Dragons, 3rd class 7th rank primeval beasts! They are highly dangerous. Be careful!" 

Now, one must know that a 7th realm cultivator is never equaled to a 7th rank profound monster even though both have a 7th in their rankings.

The celestial cultivators are divided into 1-7 cultivation realms, as this is the cultivation realm before they can ascend to the immortal realm. And they are using the cultivation methods of the celestial immortals. That is why when they have ascended to the immortal realms, they are still continuing their cultivation realm as the 8th and 9th, and even beyond that. 

It is because there is no broken cultivation heritage; it has always been like this for untold thousands of years.

However, in order to become golden celestials and truly powerful, a celestial must cultivate to the 5th cultivation realm of the golden celestial first to attain their golden invincible body. It is at this stage that they will no longer need to feed or drink, and can meditate for long periods of time. Their lifespan will also increase tremendously. 

At the 6th cultivation realm which is the golden supremacy level, also called the spirit cultivation stage, a celestial cultivator is able to gain control of their spirit animus and they could even master the use of sword spirits, the use of absorbing a spirit entity from a desolate monster, enhance their spirt animus or profound aura. 

One of the main benefits for this important cultivation level is the ability for a cultivator to conceal their own cultivation realm and to read the cultivation realms of the lower cultivation realm cultivators. 

The 7th cultivation realm which is the Sacred Saint level is even more mysterious and powerful than the 6th cultivation realm. The disparity between the lower, middle and upper tier is so big that it has to be divided into a golden saint, sacred saint and a great saint. 

Even a middle tier sacred saint can hardly put up a fight with a great saint as they are all tempered by the lightning tribulation and their inner spiritual sea is twice as vast.

And a great saint like the other tiers have its differences as well, dividing themselves into mortal-step, earth-step, heaven-step and the peaked.

A 7th rank profound beast also has its tiers but they are all capable of killing even a great saint because their profound strength is much higher and no great saints will think of even trying to tank them. Moreover, their profound defenses and regeneration also allow them to take tens of times more hits than a great saint of the same level too. 

The purpose for the ranking is to tell the cultivators that as a 7th realm cultivator, they may survive a hit from a 7th rank profound monster and it is best not to provoke these 7th rank profound beasts. Even a 6th rank profound can easily kill a 7th cultivation realm cultivator so it is best that they pick a profound beast that is 2 ranks lower than their cultivation realm.

Ji Yuan said with a grim look to the Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei, "I'll take the one on the left and you to the right…"

All of a sudden, the Goddess Ai Tina had released two glowing spirit talismans and it sped like a light toward these two primal dragons.

Ji Yuan could sense the profound energies of these 2 spirit talisman and it was only at the 7th cultivation realm, far weaker than the 8th immortal cultivation realm of the Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong.

Even the Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei was startled as she was expecting a 8th immortal spirit talisman to materialize from the finger tips of the Goddess Ai Tina. 

Upon impact, these two glowing spirit talismans had immediately exploded into a ball of blue profound fire.

However, the two Primal Dragons were only slowed down briefly as they shriek loudly before they recovered from the knock back that were caused by the 2 blue profound fire.

But all of a sudden, the 2 spirit talismans had reformed once again in the midst of the blue profound fire and exploded again; this time the explosion was 5 times bigger!

A primal dragon was suddenly ripped apart and the other primal dragon quickly fled back to the pink mists of the dense forest below the mountains.

Ji Yuan was quite startled to see this display as this reminded him of his battle with the two elders of the Evil Cultivation Palace that were also using talismans that could reformed after it was being used. 

Normal, a spirit or a physical talisman can only be used only once.

Even the spirit talisman of the Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong can only be used once.

But the spirit talismans of the Goddess Ai Tina had not only exploded once but twice and the second time that it had exploded, it had even far exceeded the profound power of even the 8th immortal spirit talismans of the Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong!

Ji Yuan thought: This is her trump card? If she uses her 8th immortal spirit talisman then won't I be dead instantly?

The reason why he had thought of this was because he had personally witnessed her 7th cultivation realm talisman tearing apart the powerful protective profound aura of these two primal dragons with just a single use.

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei was gasping with shock, "I've never seen anything like this before… is it even possible?"

The Goddess Ai Tina inhaled softly, "A normal spirit cultivator won't be able to do this but I am able to because I have the help of the Goddess' Tear in the past…"

Xiang Li was thinking inside Ji Yuan's soul sea: Who is calling me? Huh me? 

She tried to speak but could not as though there was a powerful restriction that was on her. 

Actually, unknown to Xiang Li. In the very first place, she was not supposed to be able to remember anything related to the Goddess' Tear at all. 

Ji Yuan was blinking his eyes as he thought: This is the power of the Goddess' Tear?!

The Goddess Ai Tina soon stopped in mid-air with them enveloped in her profound animus as she said slowly, "It is about time soon."

All of a sudden, the presence of an immortal profound aura was felt by everyone from above the thick grey clouds.

And all of a sudden, a gigantic skull had suddenly appeared in the heavens above and it was slowly descending onto the mountains below.

Then from the mouth of this gigantic skull, it burst out a gigantic wave of brilliant flare of profound energies that sketched for a hundred miles long and a mile wide completely obliterated a part of the mountain, blackening it and killing everything that stood in its path, even the 7th rank desolate beasts.

Ji Yuan was shocked by the size of this gigantic skull and the sheer profound power that it had just displayed.

The Goddess Ai Tina sad nonchalantly, "This powerful profound blast will soon alert the nearby cultivators that the legendary Secret Oracle Gate is here."

Ji Yuan nodded weakly, "Indeed. We may be the first but we may not be the only ones."

The Goddess Ai Tina merely smiled as she raised 4 spirit talismans in mid-air near the mouth of this gigantic skull. 

These 4 spirit talismans quickly faded into nothingness and a presence of something powerful had suddenly been created.

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei was gasping with shock, "This is an immortal array. No, a powerful profound circle…"

The Goddess Ai Tina smiled wryly, "This should keep out all the other nosy cultivators from the legendary Secret Oracle Gate."

Ji Yuan was now thinking: Crap! Senior sister, I hope that you are not following me to this place… because…

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the Goddess Ai Tina as she seized them with her profound animus, "Come follow me to the inside of this skull. We are going now into the Secret Oracle Gate to look for the Great Oracle of the Delphi."
