The Romantic Cultivator

The Sword of Destruction was not exactly a powerful sword art. As a matter of fact, its destructive capability was in fact weaker than the Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon.

“I am going for an all-out offensive.” Ji Yuan said solemnly as he channeled his sword spirit to his right forehand.

​ The reason why Ji Yuan had decided to take a gambit to use the Sword of Destruction was because he needed something that at least absorbs the blunt of the great impact that would soon descend upon him.

His keen eyes could find no weakness in the gigantic sword that was now descending rapidly above him and he could feel the great pressure that was crushing onto him now.

The gigantic sword above him was not a sword but consisted of millions of tightly packed sword energies particles that had formed into the image of a gigantic sword; it was pure sword energies and this was the Malevolent Gods Domain!

Ji Yuan was staring at his pitch black divine sword now, having condensed all his profound energies into his divine sword and his sword hand was trembling uncontrollably with profound power.

The Sword of Destruction in theory was a sword art that could neutralize any profound energies and it would require the entire life force of the cultivator to use it.

It was also known as the Life Force Sword because it tapped into the life force of the cultivator’s directly.

It was said that only a great saint would be able to use this theoretical sword art from the Major Heavens Sword Art which was the secret sword art of the Orthodox Sword Sect.

Ji Yuan did not know if any of his predecessors had ever used this sword art before. If they did then they may not live to tell the tale either…

Xiang Li asked curiously. “Big Brother, I swear that you’ve never told me about this sword art before and I honestly never see you use this sword art before. Are you sure that it is erm…safe to use this sword art?”

She was suddenly melancholy. “Why is it that I can suddenly feel the great sadness that is in your heart? What are you hiding from your Xiang Li?”

Ji Yuan smiled gently. “Nothing Xiang Li. Don’t be afraid, alright? Soon, this will be over…”

He quietly tapped his chest with his left hand to feel his beating heart as he sighed silently; Xiang Li, the Sword of Destruction doesn’t require the practitioner to practice it because it can only be used only once. After using it, your big brother won’t be around anymore…”

He turned to view Xiang Li with his divine sense in his soul sea as he smiled gently to himself. “I am afraid that our journey will end this day. I don’t want to make any wish. If there is a next life then let’s us be reincarnation together as brother and sister again.”

Then he turned to look at the maidens that were watching him outside the white perimeter band with an equal melancholy look. “Good bye everyone.”

Ling Feiyue had a perplexed look as she stared blanked in Ji Yuan’s direction. “What is this sword stance that Ji Yuan is using? I’ve never seen it before. It does look a little weak, am I right?”

Bai Qianfeng was gasping softly as she shook her head. “Why is that I’ve such an uneasy feeling about this? I can’t shake off this uneasy feeling…”

Feng Minyue muttered. “His Sword Intent isn’t decreasing. Rather I can feel that it is increasing. But…”

Little Princess also had a perplexed look. “Ji Yuan isn’t using his sword energies specialty to counter the gathering profound energies above him. Rather he seems to be condensing all his profound strength into profound power into his sword. But why is that so? He isn’t a power cultivator and he has no strong internal power art to enhance his profound power. Doesn’t he know that once the profound energies have struck him then he will also be defenseless?”

Mu Wan’Er was covering her mouth as she added. “Because Ji Yuan isn’t a power cultivator and he had no profound defenses to ward off the profound energies at point blank…”

Chen Hanhan had stepped back in shock as well. “The entire vicinity will explode with our lord in the middle…”

Shui Xisi stammered. “This is the life force sword! Ji Yuan is burning his life force essences!”

Ling Feiyue was shocked. “What did you just say?!”

And so were all the other maidens!

The life force sword was not a new profound sword art and it was actually known to many of the high level cultivators.

But it was not universal practiced because it was known as the suicidal sword art because it would consume the life force essences of the practitioner and sometimes for just a small burst of power.

Bai Qianfeng had suddenly lost her cool as she screamed against the howling winds and the thunderous lightning. “Ji Yuan! What are you thinking!”

Then she screamed at the heavens above. “You old fart! I swear to destroy you!”

But the howling winds and continuous thunders drowned out her screams.

Ji Yuan nor the trial spirit could hear her.

Ji Yuan was smiling gently to himself as the memories of his life were now flashing rapidly in front of him and he felt that he had not lived in vain.

Because he did have a romantic journey with Jiajia and he had many beautiful maidens as his confidants.

He could still remember how he had first met Jiajia, Feiyue and Qianxue that set him off on his romantic journey with them.

He had merely taken just a hundred years for his breakthrough to the seventh realm saint level which was considered extremely fast already although he had no celestial resources for his breakthrough except for the divine sword that Jiajia had given him.

When a cultivator is attempting his breakthrough, a divine sword is considered to be pivoted to the success of his breakthrough.

Ji Yuan could still remember how he had gritted his teeth as he held onto the divine sword that was given by Jiajia dearly to his chest as he fought against his life and death tribulations.

There were many times that he had thought that he was already a dead man but the encouraging image of Jiajia who was still waiting for him had flashed in his mind and this had kept his resolve strong.

“According to the sacred rules of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, a cultivator can hold another cultivator to a promised pledge for a hundred years. Jiajia has promised to wait me for a hundred years and I must succeed within a hundred years!”

Finally he had his forced breakthrough into the lofty seventh realm sacred saint level with just a divine sword in his hand and without any other cultivation resources; he had created a miracle breakthrough and had lived.

The first thing that he had to do after his breakthrough was naturally to look for Jiajia.

No wait!

The first thing that he had to do after his breakthrough was naturally to regrow his beard because he had suddenly discovered he had lost his beard after his breakthrough!

It was because in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, bearded cultivators were respected by all the cultivators and adored by all the maidens.

At least that was what he had thought and imagine his horror that Jiajia would actually forgotten about his bearded self and like his new beardless self.

It took Ji Yuan a lot of effort to shake off his love for his beard because he was deeply steeped in the great beard culture of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity where beard cultivators were considered handsome and could stand proudly in front of all the cultivators.

Actually while it took him a lot of effort to shake off his love for his beard but the will to do so was quite effortless; it was because he had no beard to regain anyway.

Ji Yuan was now staring at the gigantic sword that was descending from the great maelstrom as he sighed deeply. “My beard, I’m joining you in the heavens soon…”

Ji Yuan had suddenly swung his double halo divine sword as the millions of sword energies bursts had swarmed onto him with a brilliant profound light.

A pitch black sword shadow could be seen as the millions of sword energies bursts were suddenly swayed to the side.

A brilliant thunderous light had also exploded like a bright nova over the mountain top that Ji Yuan was standing and the entire mountains were all shaking violently as dust filled the entire vicinity!

Xiang Li was screaming. “I don’t want Big Brother to die!!!”

When the dusts had finally settled a little, the black form of Ji Yuan could be seen standing on the platform and his robe was all tattered with wisp of smoke fluttering around him.

But his profound aura was completely dead.

Ji Yuan was smiling as he closed his eyes weakly; Xiang Li. It is no use now. This time I did not make any wish. Even my subconscious did not make any wish. I was thinking of Jiajia, Feiyue, Qianxue, Chengxi and Yan’Er this time…in my next life I shall make sure that you’re an educated maiden and not follow a rascal cultivator like me…

Even if I am dead, I’ll make sure that Feiyue, Qianfeng…will be able to overcome this trial…

My life is completed now. In this life,

I’ve all the wish fulfillment, what’s more do I need to wish for?

Jiajia…

WAIT! Something off here…

My life isn’t completed yet…

I haven’t banged Jiajia yet…

I can’t die yet because I HAVEN’T BANGED JIAJIA YET!

AND SHE WILL GREEN ME IF I WERE DEAD!

All the maidens were wailing uncontrollable for Ji Yuan when their sharp divine senses could sense a stirring in Ji Yuan’s lifeless body as he suddenly revived all of a sudden as he stopped the outflow of his life force in a nick of time.

Ling Feiyue, Bai Qianfeng, Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Feng Minyue, Chen Hanhan and Mu Wan’Er were all shouting excitingly. “Ji Yuan, he is still alive!!!”

Indeed, the dead form of Ji Yuan was suddenly stirring slowly as he inhaled a vital breathe and his golden body was quickly reviving.

From the dark heavens, an old grumpy voice was thundering with great disbelief as he finally spoken. “You!!! Old Fart, you’ve overcome the trial…”

The trial spirit simply could not understand how Ji Yuan could overcome the life force sword energies in such a timely fashion. Once the life force energies is loosened, it is nearly unstoppable to halt it because its profound energies is even stronger than the profound strength of the cultivator to stop.

Therefore the trial spirit had to grumble with some respect. “You’re truly a sword saint. I’ve really underestimate you. You must have reached the divine state of the absolute indomitable will.”

Ji Yuan looked up to the dark heavens as he listened weakly; what is he talking about?!𝑂𝚟𝐥xt.𝗇𝓔t

He had no idea what the divine state of the absolute indomitable will was all about because in his mind, he was simply thinking that he have not bang Jiajia yet and he did not want to be green by anyone therefore he was not willing to die for now.

Xiang Li was sobbing with tears as her physical tears dropped into Ji Yuan’s soul sea…

For a moment she had thought that Ji Yuan was about to die and she did not want her Big Brother to die…
