The Romantic Cultivator

Number 1 and the Goddess Ai Tina were now in the streets and their presence had suddenly attracted hundreds of onlookers. 

“There is going to be a fight…”

“It seems that our Goddess Ai Tina is going to fight with someone…”

“Who is so stupid as to challenge our Goddess Ai Tina?”

“We can take care of this insolent person ourselves…”

“Call the others quickly to see…”

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei quickly whispered to Maiden Flower Ju, “I have a bad feeling about this. Quickly send a transmission to Divine Consort Ding Jie’Er and ask them all to come and help the Goddess Ai Tina.”

Maiden Flower Ju was startled, “Ask all the divine consorts to come to help our Goddess Ai Tina? Maybe our Goddess Ai Tina is able to defeat this Number 1 with ease?”

Xu Yifei had hoped so too.

She had witnessed the Goddess Ai Tina in actual combat and she had a good gauge between the disparity between Ji Yuan and the Goddess Ai Tina. And she felt that this Number 1 was a super cultivator and she had this nonchalantly look that made her really uncomfortable. 

Unless a cultivator was sure of their own ability, they would not be offending even the Goddess Ai Tina, the entire city and even all the divine consorts of the Northern Alliance Theology Olympiad.

Moreover, she had remembered what the Great Oracle had said about a Number 1 great calamity.

She whispered back to Maiden Flower Ju, “There is no time to wait to wait until the duel is decisive. Remember what the Great Oracle has said? So quickly warn Ji Yuan and the other divine consorts now!”

Maiden Flower Ju was gasping, “Right. The Great Oracle is always 100% accurate. This must be what she has been trying to warn us about. I’ll do it right away.”

With that, she had disappeared into the tavern again.

The Goddess Ai Tina took a subtle look at Xu Yifei before nodding slightly. 

Even without knowing the exchanges between Xu Yifei and Maiden Flower Ju, she was well wary what Xu Yifei was biding Maiden Flower Ju to do.

Although the Goddess Ai Tina was renowned for her cultivation achievement as the First Divine Consort, she also possessed a high intellect.

So, she knows that she had to buy some time.

She smiled wryly and even casually to Number 1, “Before we start on our duel, may I know the name of my opponent first? It is most unfair to me if you are able to know my name while I have no idea who my opponent is?”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao smiled, “I am Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily.”

The Goddess Ai Tina had a perplexed look, “You have two titles? Number 1 and the White Lily.”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao answered nonchalantly, “Number 1 is my ranked title while White Lily is my personal title.”

“I see now!”

Where they were exchanging in the wide streets, two celestial maidens were gasping with shock; they were Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing. They had been looking for Ji Yuan for the past 8 days to try to warn him about Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily and right now, they had actually seen her in person! 

The two of them were lucky to have been taken to the same vicinity when they had entered into the trial portal. After several days of investigation, they had discovered unwittingly that Ji Yuan was actually quite renowned in the city where they had spawned to and that he was in Snowy Pavilion City.

They cursed their stupidity because they had thought that the spiritas here would not know who Ji Yuan was and therefore, they did not ask them. 

Actually they were not the only ones that have thought the same, even Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao did not think anyone would know Ji Yuan too and that was why she had been searching in vain for 3 days. 

Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing were also lucky that Snowy Pavilion City was quite near to where they had spawned. So they quickly set off immediately to Snowy Pavilion City. 

But before they could find Ji Yuan, they had found Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily instead! 

They were quite startled that this Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was not as terrifying looking as Yun Chi had told them and in fact, she was a beautiful maiden with an elegant look. 

At this moment, the Goddess Ai Tina was saying to Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao. “I don’t use a weapon. I can see that you have a sword. So why don’t you display your sword before we start on our duel?”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao smiled wryly, “This won’t be necessary. I have not met the opponent that deserves me to unsheathe my sword yet.”

When she had said that, the hundreds of onlookers were all looking quite angry as her sheer arrogance and disrespect for their Goddess Ai Tina. 

The main reason that she did not say was because her divine sword was a true divinity sword and it would give her an unfair advantage if she chooses to use it. That was why she had concealed it with her profound strength in her scabbard. 

By now, the hundreds of onlookers had actually rapidly increased to more than two thousand and more onlookers were swarming to take a curious look. 

That was also how Yu Jingjing and Yang Mi had found Number 1 in this way. 

The Goddess Ai Tina smiled wryly, “Then don’t you regret this.”

She added, “I don’t want to take advantage of you. So why don’t you make the first move first?”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly, “This won’t be necessary. I am just waiting for Ji Yuan who is your personal guard to be here and this is only a mere entertainment for me before he arrives.”

The Goddess Ai Tina smiled weakly at this irony; Ji Yuan who was her personal guard of honor was not here to protect her and instead, she was just buying time for him to appear.

She simply answered, “I don’t have time to waste on you!”

And she had quickly displayed 4 spirit talismans and had sent them flying toward Number 1.

However, this time round, she did not send it to fly side by side but arranged it to be in asymmetrical order so that the talismans would explode if one of the talismans was hit.

Ding Xiaoxiao had immediately swung one of the talismans aside, exploding it to one side. 

The Goddess Ai Tina timed it with her profound strength as she shouted, “Explode!”

There was also another way to explode her spirit talismans and that was through her profound strength! 

And the three talismans began to explode furiously upon Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao and even exploded again with 3 times the furies! 

The fiery profound energies that were generated shook the entire street and many of the onlookers were smiling because their Goddess Ai Tina had just caught this insolent challenger a terrible lesson and she may not even lived to see another day.

However, the Goddess Ai Tina was well aware that Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was still very much alive despite all of her dreadful profound blasts.

So when Ding Xiaoxiao had emerged through the dreadful profound energies unscathed and had flashed to attack her with her scabbard, the Goddess Ai Tina had already prepared a defensive talisman to repel her.

On the forehead of Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was a sword spirit and she had displayed her profound sword art with an exceeding profound power that could neutralize the profound power of her talisman attacks. 

In that instant, spirit runes began to form like a barrier around the Goddess Ai Tina at the point where Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao had attacked her. 

Then the Goddess Ai Tina had suddenly displayed two gigantic spirit talismans of the eighth immortal profound power in front of the barrier, “I am expecting this from you. So die…”

All of a sudden, the two gigantic talismans had exploded furiously with 5 times the fiery explosions before exploding again with 10 times the explosions!

This display of profound powers from their Goddess and Ancient First Divine Consort Ai Tina had completely awed all the onlookers for they had never seen such mighty display of profound energies that could be caused by any spirit talismans!𝞸𝐕𝗅xt.𝒸𝒪𝓂

Moreover, it could even explode a second time too!

“Sword Dao of the Small Universe!”

All of a sudden Ding Xiaoxiao had swung the burning profound energies aside with her scabbard and she had even shattered the defensive barrier in front of the Goddess Ai Tina in a brilliant burst of runic light! 

Her scabbard had not only shattered the invisible runic barrier but had also hit the Goddess Ai Tina with such force that immediately the white immortal profound aura that was being displayed by her was also shattered! 

This caused the Goddess Ai Tina to flung backward as she coughed out golden blood! 

Xu Yifei quickly flashed forward to catch hold of the Goddess Ai Tina who was staring blankly with shock at the explicit profound power that was being displayed by Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao!

When Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao had used her sword domain the Sword Dao of the Small Universe, everyone could feel an intense profound power of her sword intentions that was exploding outward and this outward explosion had even caused the 8th immortal profound power of the two giant talismans to look pale in comparison. 

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao commented, “Your defensive spirit talisman is indeed strong. I can’t even kill you with my sword domain. But you are just a lowly immortal cultivator and it is only reasonable that you lose to me.”

When she had said that, all the onlookers were staring angrily at Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao!

“Too arrogant!”

“This is too insolent!”

“She dares to call our mighty Goddess Ai Tina a lowly immortal goddess?! She deserves to die!”

“Why don’t we all attack and lynch her instead?” 

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei had taken out the Divine Shield of Ai Tina and said coldly, “I am afraid your fight isn’t over yet.”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao asked curiously, “You want to fight with me? Even your Goddess Ai Tina has lost to me.”

As she said that, her eyes were appraising the immortal divine shield that was hovering in front of Xu Yifei. “This shield seems tough to break.”

Xu Yifei answered coldly, “Not me alone but I will be challenging you with my Goddess Ai Tina. Since you are so strong, you don’t mind. Am I right to say so?”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao answered casually, “I don’t mind. The two of you can fight me together.”

This further enraged all the onlookers! 

“This Number 1 dares to fight two divine consorts at the same time?”

“If we don’t teach her a lesson, our Snowy Pavilion City will be in great disrepute…”

“I wonder what is her background?”

“She has pointed ears so she may be a half human that practices the human cultivation instead of the spirit cultivation…”

“Isn’t the human cultivation a lowly cultivation?”

“She can defeat our Goddess Ai Tina… impossible…”
