The Romantic Cultivator

In the vast expanses of the Great Beyond Realm;

Location: Unknown.

There was a sudden auspicious rainbow omen that had suddenly appeared above a white palace high up in the mountains.

Old Reverend Beiyuan and Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing were truly startled as they flew at top speed toward this white palace.

“Hohohohoho!” Old Reverend Beiyuan was truly excited. “We are just in time to witness our mistress exiting her seclusion. What extraordinary luck!”

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing quickly reminded him, “Don’t go laughing with every sentence. I don’t want to be sent back to the Goddess Star Palace with you again. If so, then you can forget about talking to me ever again.”

Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed weakly, “That was an accident the last time…”

Soon they had bypassed several layers of defensive arrays and had reached the white palace of the Great Beyond Goddess.

Once again when they were in the white palace, they phased through several layers of spatial space within the white palace until they had finally found the Great Beyond Goddess in her meditating chamber.

This meditating chamber was not exactly big but this was the way the Great Beyond Goddess had preferred it.

When Old Reverend Beiyuan and Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing saw the Great Beyond Goddess again, her colorless white hair was now beginning to turn bluish and her misty dark eyes were also slowly turning to white and blue too. 

This was a sign that the Great Beyond Goddess was now back and this was not her avatar. 

But they still could not see her face clearly because she was wearing a veil that was shrouded with bright lights. 

Old Reverend Beiyuan quickly pay his respects, “Hohohohoho, great mistress. You are finally back!”

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing almost fainted on the spot and she quickly kicked him to stop him from laughing before saying respectfully. “Great mistress, your disciple Qi Yuexing misses you so much!”

The Great Beyond Goddess appeared to be in deep thoughts and did not respond to either Old Reverend Beiyuan and Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing. 

But to them, this was all too normal and they were willing to wait for the Great Beyond Goddess to recollect her memories.

The fingers of the Great Beyond Goddess was trembling; it was because she had remembered that she had just died in a battle against the Great Demon God…

And in that life, she was Xia Jiajia…

In that life, she was able to display the True Primeval Phoenix Bloodline because she was actually the Great Beyond Goddess and her bloodline was stronger than any immortal bloodline. 

Her heart was trembling now. Not because she had just died but because she had remembered Ji Yuan…

And it was because Ji Yuan was the one that she had always been waiting for…

Many uncountable years ago, she had sealed her emotion soul away so that she would return to the endless samara sea to look for the True Devil God.

Her heart would never be opened to anyone save for the True Devil God because she had sealed away her true emotions away and reserved it for only the True Devil God.

When she had met Ji Yuan, her icy heart had begun to open…

It was because he was really the one that she had been searching for all these years…

Xia Jiajia was actually the real her because this host body was devoid of any emotions and even her avatars were not the real her. 

Only when the consciousness of Xia Jiajia had died or if she could reach to a higher state of divinity, would she return as the Great Beyond Goddess.

The reason why she was trembling now was because she had a missed opportunity with Ji Yuan who still did not know who he really is. 

While she was slowly recollecting her life as Xia Jiajia, she was also recollecting her memories from her other avatars.

And one of the avatars startled her; it had come from ‘Dream Mist’, in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. 

In Dream Mist’s memories, she had actually traveled with Ji Yuan for a time.

She was suddenly glad that Ji Yuan was still alive inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and he seemed to have grown much stronger.

But she was also amused that Ji Yuan had gone through so many funny antics while inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and he had also met quite a few maidens too.

She was also quite startled that the Death God Mingwang that Xia Jiajia had feared was actually such a beautiful maiden by the name of Yun Chi and that she was on the side of Ji Yuan. 

This Yun Chi is with Ji Yuan’s child?

She is so blissful…𝗈𝒱𝑙xt.𝒞𝑜𝓂

There were also quite a few strong saintesses around Ji Yuan as well…

Feng Minyue, Zhi Jiugong, the Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue, the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu…

And even her Sister Sisi is also with Ji Yuan…

Ling Feiyue, Bai Qianfeng and Little Princess as well…

There are also two new maidens, Yang Min and Yu Jingjing…

They are all together…

They have all reached the final trial of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth now according to the memories of Dream Mist, except for Sisi…

She was a little worried for her reckless Sister Shui Xisi now…

Also Ji Yuan has a new fairy spirit? And her name is Fairy Xiahou Anyang…

His soul sea is now so pure that he can host 2 fairy spirits as well as 2 sword spirits?

2 sword spirits…

He has really become so strong now and even his divine sword has now been upgraded…

And he even have 2 saint-step divine swords too…

Ji Yuan had also found his old master in the final trial too…

His old master is actually the White Sword Monarch, which Xia Jiajia had once met before…

When she saw that Ji Yuan had invented a new grand cross profound sword art to be used with his 2 saint swords and to compensate for his weakness in melee, she was startled at how powerful Ji Yuan was now.

Not to mention that Ji Yuan also had a powerful demonic angel spirit animus too…

He had truly become very strong and much stronger than she could imagine in such a short time…

And that she also now knows why the Dragon God Longdi was suddenly injured and had suffered a backlash in his cultivation core; it was due to Dream Mist, her avatar when she had broken his divine sword. 

The same goes for the Great Demon God as well.

And many more…

She was quite startled that even her Avatar Dream Mist has developed a feeling for Ji Yuan…

The Great Beyond Goddess saw all the funny things that Ji Yuan was doing and she could not believe what she was seeing; like eating several masculine profound pills at the same time…

For the very first time through Dream Mist, she could see and hear all the funny conversations between Xiang Li and Ji Yuan…

She was totally bewildered by their weird conversations…

She began to frown when she saw that it was actually Xiang Li who was pushing Ji Yuan as his heart demon to form a harem. This was really ridiculous and even she was quite speechless about their close friendship…

But Xiang Li had also helped Ji Yuan unwittingly by being his heart demon as she absorbed all his bad deeds, preserving his soul sea from being tainted. 

If it was not for Xiang Li, Ji Yuan’s inner spiritual sea would once again become very impure…

But her deepest regret now was that she could no longer accompany Ji Yuan in his journey and that she had ‘died’…

When Old Reverend Beiyuan saw that the colors in the Great Beyond Goddess had been restored, he chuckled jovially. “Mistress, welcome back! Hohohoho… you must have a fruitful trip this time round?”

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing wanted to faint on the spot; how many times had she reminded Old Reverend Beiyuan not to laugh in the presence of the Great Beyond Goddess? 

The Great Beyond Goddess looked curiously at Old Reverend Beiyuan and she could imagine Ji Yuan laughing nonstop when they were together…

Finally, she said gently, “Beiyuan, you have managed to overcome the trials at the Goddess Star Palace? This is most impressive.”

Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed jovially, “Hohohoho, this is too easy…”

Should he tell the Great Beyond Goddess that he had also accepted a disciple along the way? And that he had also found the Goddess Tear that was with him?

But if he told his mistress about his new disciple, she may feel offended for not telling her and she may banish him to the Goddess Star Palace again, or to even worse places.

So, he had decided to shut up.

The Great Beyond Goddess turned to Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing to say, “Yuexing, you have a high attainment in your cultivation as well. Judging from the cultivation differences between you and Beiyuan, in the future you will surely reach the 11th True Divinity ahead of him.”

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing was suddenly ashamed and did not know what to say…

It was because a celestial by the name of Ji Yuan had aided them to escape from the Goddess Star Palace…

The Great Beyond Goddess slowly said as she looked at the two of them, “I hope that the two of you have an enlightenment inside the Goddess Star Palace.”

Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed weakly, “Hohoho, of course. Of course…”

Then the Great Beyond Goddess asked gently, “So when will the two of you be tying the knot together?”

When she had said that, Old Reverend Beiyuan and Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing were startled and they were stammering for words…

The Great Beyond Goddess said gently to them, “Don’t you know that it takes a true couple to understand the trials of the Goddess Star Palace in order to overcome the trials there. Since you have now understood how I feel now, you are not tying the knot?”

Old Reverend Beiyuan turned to look weakly at Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing, “Erm, of course. This enlightenment is exactly what great mistress has said…”

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing: …

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing: …

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing: …

The two of them were actually thinking; the enlightenment of the Goddess Star Palace is teaching them that war is bad? And they should make peace instead? But why does it takes a true couple to overcome this trial?

They were suddenly looking a little confused…

Old Reverend Beiyuan looked really guilty and he quickly said, “Great mistress, actually…”

But the Great Beyond Goddess waved her hand to say gently, “Go and prepare yourself first for your nuptial knots. I will give you the two of you a fitting profound treasure. For now, I am going to meditate again.”

She was going to meditate again because she was thinking of Ji Yuan now and trying to reminisce their memories together…

She remembered that she had promised Ji Yuan to tie the nuptial knot with him after he had exited the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth (See Chapter 203) but sadly, this was no longer possible now…

He had said with a chuckle, “Jiajia. If I can come back from the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, will you be my consort?” 

He was hinting to her; Surely you are not so heartless as to reject my request? I will be very demoralized and this will affect my performances in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

And she had agreed, causing much jovial joy to Ji Yuan…

When Old Reverend Beiyuan had heard that the Great Beyond Goddess was going to be in meditation again, he was greatly startled, “But great mistress, you have just come out of seclusion…”

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing quickly kicked Old Reverend Beiyuan before pulling him away; she was really afraid that he may say the wrong words.

As they exited the meditation room of the Great Beyond Goddess, Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing quickly sent a secret divine whisper to Old Reverend Beiyuan, “You idiot! You should be honest with our great mistress from the very start. If you admit it now, we are all doomed!”

Old Reverend Beiyuan nervously whispered back to her, “Then what shall we do now?”

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing whispered nonchalantly to him, “Prepare for our nuptial knots. You big idiot.”

Old Reverend Beiyuan looked shock as he gasped, “I have to marry you?!”

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing nodded, “Do we have a choice now? It is all due to your dishonest blunder. Let’s lay down the rules first. From now onward, you have to listen to me…”

Old Reverend Beiyuan: …

When the Great Beyond Goddess was alone, she was trembling with the many emotions that she had experienced just before she had died. 

She muttered with trembling lips, “If only you can see the imageries that I have created for us in the Goddess Star Palace… all my emotions and affections that I’ve for you are there… when you died for me, I was and still am heartbroken…” 

Her eyes were brimming with her hot tears as she wept, but this time it was not her sorrowful tears but she was weeping with happiness; she had finally found the True Devil God after such a long time…

Author Note:

1. Xia Jiajia is actually the Great Beyond Goddess herself. I guess that many of you have already guessed it from the clues that are given. 

2. Does it sounds familar when the Great Beyond Goddess/ Jiajia has ordered them to tie the knot immediately? Like in the case of Shangguan Yan and Ji Yuan.
