The Romantic Cultivator

Today there were all kinds of auspicious signs in this part of the Great Beyond Realm, from golden clouds, beautiful rainbows, the songs of the spirit birds to various signs of the heavens and the earth. 

It was because the Great Beyond Goddess had willed it to be so for today was the nuptial knots of two of her beloved disciples, Old Reverend Beiyuan and Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing. 

As soon as she had exited her short seclusion, she had declared that her two disciples tied the nuptial knots immediately.

Old Reverend Beiyuan and Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing were stunned by her declaration as they thought that they would need to prepare for at least 100 years.

“Immediately?”

“Great mistress, this is too quick…”

“We need more time to prepare…”

“Surely there is no need to rush for this, right?”

“Maybe we aren’t fully to be committed as a dual cultivator yet…”

But the two of them had no other choice because this was the will of their great mistress, the Great Beyond Goddess. 

Especially when she likes to say, “My decision is final.”

The Great Beyond Goddess was smiling when she saw them clothed in their wedding nuptial clothes as they turned up in the hall of her white palace.

Today she was going to preside over the first wedding of these two God Immortals in this place. 

When she saw them, she was dreamily smiling; it was because this reminded her of the time when she had ordered Ji Yuan to get married immediately to Shangguan Yan.

But Ji Yuan who was known as Yuan Ji at that time had refused her. 

She had said:

“Yuan Ji, when you take over Hai Sheng’s residence, you must also take good care of Shangguan Yan. She is a lonely widow now.”

Yuan Ji had replied awkwardly, “This is for sure.”

“Good. Then you shall take her as your little concubine.” 

Yuan Ji was stunned, “What? This is impossible. I can’t do it.”

But when all 3 of her elders at the Emperor Hall Sect were all rushing to take Shangguan Yan as their little concubine, Yuan Ji was shocked when these three elders were all seizing the chance to take Shangguan Yan.

Tang Ao was smiling lecherously, “If Elder Yuan Ji doesn’t want to take care of her, I’m willing to do so. Why don’t Palace Mistress gives her to me?”

Deng Qiu was also smiling, “I am also willing to take care of Shangguan Yan.”

Li Qiang laughed, “I am the most willing.”

Shangguan Yan was really an enticing quiet beauty and the three elders were now filled with lusts that they could have her. Since Yuan Ji did not want her then they would be the kind soul to take her in instead!

So, Yuan Ji said loudly instead. “Who says that I’m not willing to take care of Shangguan Yan? I only say that this is impossible for me to take her as my little concubine but I never say I won’t take her to be my main consort. She doesn’t deserve to be a concubine to anyone. I shall grant her a proper status instead.”

So she said to him, “So be it then. She shall be your consort proper. I’ve a little surprise for you.”

“Surprise? What surprise?” Yuan Ji had asked curiously.

She had chuckled softly and said to him. “You will only know on your wedding day.”

Yuan Ji had laughed. “That won’t be so soon.”

She had chuckled, “You will actually know it very soon. I will help you to host your wedding tomorrow.”

Yuan Ji: …

The Great Beyond Goddess must admit that she was a little stunned by him that day and that she had screwed up her own chances to be Ji Yuan’s main consort when she was Xia Jiaqing.

But that was in the past.

She never has the chance anymore because Xia Jiajia as she was known to him, was now ‘dead’.

When she was a celestial aka Saintess Fang Zhenfei in the Celestial Realm, since she was little, she had always enjoyed the looking at the weddings of the celestials and were fascinated by it. 

She could not explain the reason why, especially when she never had the intention to find a cultivation partner due to her icy heart nature and no men had ever impressed her so. But she just enjoyed the bliss and the warmth of the happy couples during their nuptial ties.

The Great Beyond Goddess was now looking with a faint smile at Old Reverend Beiyuan and Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing when she was recalling the past. 

Old Reverend Beiyuan however was looking bitterly; it was because he had to listen to his junior sister from now onward and technically, he would be losing his freedom.

But he did not dare to tell the Great Beyond Goddess that he had cheated with his junior sister and they got help from a Ji Yuan that helped them to escape from the Goddess Star Palace.

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing also did not dare to tell the Great Beyond Goddess about their misdeeds because she did not want to be sent back to the Goddess Star Palace again or even worst punishments.

Therefore, the two of them decided not to make the truth.

Now they were not lying since they cannot tell a lie but they were simply not telling the whole truth.

The God Immortals are a little different from the other races; they cannot lie and have no concept of lusts or even emotional attachments. They represented the highest divinity in which a cultivator must strive in order to have an immortal life or becoming a True Divinity. 

That was why Old Reverend Beiyuan had no idea if he wants to be with Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing for the rest of his life even though she is such a beautiful maiden. 

However, their bonds were actually much stronger than the other disciples, even though they were constant arguing with each other.

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing on the other hand, was actually quite fond of this senior brother of hers but she had no idea if he feels the same about her. She did not know if this was actually because she likes him or love him since she was emotionally cold like most of the few remnants of her race.

  The Great Beyond Goddess was now imagining that today was the wedding that was between her and Ji Yuan instead and this must be the most blissful day of their lives.

She had no way of descending to the lower realms to be with Ji Yuan; it was because she cannot interfere in the affairs of the lower realm.

The Balance is the Great Beyond Goddess and the Great Beyond Goddess is the Balance of the Six Empyrean Realms.

That was why she had formed the Goddess Tear to give the races of the lower realm a hope and the Goddess Tear can only manifest and help the righteous. 

Her Avatar Dream Mist was not supposed to be in the Celestial Realm but a divine child which was actually Yun Chi’s unborn daughter had awakened her through the Goddess Tear Xiang Li in Ji Yuan’s soul sea. 

And later she had chosen to interfere by aiding Ji Yuan and Yun Chi to destroy a powerful immortal array that hosted the powerful divine swords of the Great Demon God, the Desolate Dragon God and the Death God Mingwang. 

By intervening, Dream Mist was then forced to return to the Great Beyond to be united with her host body as the damage was too great to her. 

Also, Dream Mist had shared the same soul sea as Ji Yuan and that was why she was able to use her profound power. 

In the first place, this was already considered to be a miracle that her Avatar could actually walk with Ji Yuan in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and she could anchor herself in Ji Yuan’s soul sea through the Goddess Tear when Yun Chi’s divine daughter had first awakened. 

However, the real Great Beyond Goddess was a higher power and she could not easily descend upon the lower realms or else she would not have reincarnated herself through the endless Seas of Samsara just to look for the Boundless Sovereign Demon God aka the True Devil God.

She was quite sorrowful that she would be standing to aid Ji Yuan anymore in his fight anymore and twice in a row, she had lost her destiny with him.

There were so much, so much that she wanted to say to him but she was powerless to do so.

But now, looking at this pair of blissful couple in front of her, she had a small consolation. 

So she said with a faint smile, “Beiyuan, Yuexing. I shall unite the two of you as one. From on onward, you are one unison. As promised, I shall grant you a fitting profound artefact…”

Old Reverend Beiyuan and Grand Holy Saintess could only smile weakly at each other when the Great Beyond Goddess had proclaimed them as a pair of cultivation partner but they were immediately smiling with delight when their great mistress was granting them a profound artefact.

The Great Beyond Goddess was also smiling when she saw that that they were smiling blissfully so she smiled, “Beiyuan, show me your Golden Natal Divine Pearl. I am going to split it into two halves to weave my profound power into it. In this way, the two of you may have a lucky occurrence to reach the 11th True Divinity.”

Old Reverend Beiyuan almost fainted on the spot, along with Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing; it was because Old Reverend Beiyuan had already given the Golden Natal Divine Pearl to his new disciple Ji Yuan…

2. I always want to tell the missing canon link between Lin Antian and the Evil Cultivation Master/God. But I keep forgetting even though I’ve mentioned it in the Author Note. I’ve forgotten again in the last chapter and inserted the edit now. For privilege readers, this is the missing part for the last chapter. 

The Evil Cultivation God was then looking quite pleased with himself and the absolute power that he now posssessed; he now had the profound might of the Great Demon God and he was even stronger than his old peak by several leagues!

This had to do with the Evil Veins that he now possessed. 

For that, he had to do several experiments by choosing cultivators with a special constitution outside the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. And one of his most successful experiments was Lin Antian who had now gone to the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. 

It was his experiment with the Evil Veins over the thousands of years that he was able to secretly possesed the Evil Veins by, naturally, absorbing all the other cultivators with the Evil Veins’ Bloodline.

The reason why he did not kill Lin Antian was that he was an absolute evil cultivator and a genius among geniuses; he had found out who the Evil Cultivator Master was but instead of being shocked, he even begged the Evil Cultivator Master to grant him more knowledge about the various immortal profound arts and therefore he had become his the ‘secret protege’.𝒪𝗏𝑙xt.𝗇𝓔t

The Evil Cultivation God now had the intention to make Lin Antian the new expedition leader of the Evil Cultivation Palace and his celestial fraternity his second target of dominion after the Desolate Celestial Fraternity…
