The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan and Destiny were soon led to a spacious room by 8 spiritas maidens who could not stop their soft giggling as they secretly looked at Ji Yuan and they hoped to catch his eyes.

If it was not for the Great Oracle that was also with them, they would have displayed all their charms and tricks to seduce Ji Yuan. 

But for now, they had no other choice but to be as subtle as possible. 

However, Ji Yuan was in mood to appreciate these attractive noble spiritas maidens as he was still thinking on how he should fake his own death to avoid disappointing any of the spiritas maidens in the Spirit Divine Realm.

He estimated that it was now the 65th days now and he had only 5 days left to settle this problem.

Although he was forced to admit that he liked Xu Yifei, Tang Manni and even Little Jie’Er but the situation did not warrant it; there was no way for them to be together.

He could even see the affectionate look that Xu Yifei had quietly left in his heart but he had to disappoint her in the most horrible manner. 

As soon as the array formations sealed the room, Ji Yuan asked Destiny. “Uh, yes?”

Destiny faintly smiled, “Great Champion Ji Yuan, so how is the feeling of being the top champion in the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower?”

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly at the beautiful figure of the Goddess Destiny in front of him, “Surely you didn’t ask me here to ask me this question?”

Destiny gently shook her head, “Not really.”

But she was soon smiling as shy shyly put her black rod to her back behind her back, “Look at you. Without my help, can you defeat that Rey Pugpatine?”

Ji Yuan was startled, “You… you know the name of that Destroyer that I am fighting against?”

Destiny smiled, “Surely you are interested to know why the Trial seems to be against you? Or else why did you bother to ask the Trial Spirit before you go?”

Ji Yuan was stunned, “You even know about this?”

He was beaming now; she is indeed the Great Oracle. She knows everything!

Surely there must be a way for him to make use of her divination talents?

Ji Yuan began to laugh jovially, “I hope the Great Oracle may be able to help me to answer this question. And what is that Silver Dragon God Beast thing?”

Destiny was now smiling as she finally got Ji Yuan’s interest in her. 

She pointed at the skull ring to make up a half-truth, “The skill ring that I’ve given you is able to project the image of a quasi-real silver dragon god beast to help you. That is what it is able to do.”

Ji Yuan was delighted, “This is a real profound treasure even though it isn’t real. How do I use this skull ring?”

Destiny smiled, “It has a will on its will and it may be able to save your life in your greatest need. So keep it with you.”

She had told Ji Yuan a half-truth; as long as Ji Yuan did not command her to tell the truth, she was free to make up a story about it as she did not want him to know that she had been spying on him for the past 30 days.

Ji Yuan was now grinning as he touched the skull ring excitingly, “Haha, this is indeed a great profound treasure…”

He was thinking that this skull ring may be able to summon a Silver Dragon God Beast briefly but it was enough for him to make his escape or watch the quasi-real silver dragon god beast destroys his menacing opponents for him. 

He wondered how long the apparition of this silver dragon god beast would be able to last him when Destiny quickly said, “Ji Yuan…”

She looked a little flustered in her pale face as she tried to call his name informally but quickly continued shyly, “About why the Trial Spirit behaves this way against you, this is a secret between the two of us. Alright? You must know tell anyone about it.”

Ji Yuan looked a little startled, “Huh? Why?”

But he quickly said after a quickly ponder, “Alright then. You can tell me now?”

Destiny nodded after he had agreed with it, “A powerful profound darkness has taken over the Spiritas Tower in the form of this Rey Pugpatine and the Trial Spirit is actually not aware of this. But now that the profound darkness has been destroyed, the Spiritas Tower is also back to normal again…”

JI Yuan was startled; it was because he had heard of the profound darkness quite a few times since he was here and Xu Yifei had even told him that there was a profound darkness deep inside his inner spiritual sea as well.

“This profound darkness… is this dangerous? And what is it?” He bitterly asked.

Destiny faintly smiled, “The profound darkness can be divided into the major and the minor profound darkness. It is created in the past with the creation or the use of the profound treasures of the True Devil God and it is the true origin of his profound strength…”

“This Rey Pugpatine is a major profound darkness that has gained sentient over the years in the Spiritas Tower. But it is no longer a threat anyway because it has been returned to the state of its true origin energy.”

She paused a little before deciding that it was not the time to reveal to Ji Yuan that the profound darkness had now been absorbed by Ji Yuan since he is the True Devil God and become part of him now. This would enable him to obtain some of the necessary profound darkness strength for him to cultivate back as the True Devil God in the future. 

What she did not know was that Little Yui the dark sword had absorbed the profound darkness and she would be cultivating Ji Yuan to be the True Devil God sooner than expected. 

Ji Yuan frowned, “It seems that the Spiritas Race here is afraid of the profound darkness and they are destroying any profound treasures that have it. But weird, how come the Goddess Ai Tina did not know that there is a profound darkness in the Spiritas Tower…”

“I don’t know if the Goddess Ai Tina knows about the profound darkness or not,” Destiny said quietly. “But the profound darkness is a residue of the profound strength of the True Devil God and in the past, he had imbued many of the profound treasures with his true origin energy. Most profound treasures with profound darkness will not be able gain sentient unless they are the major profound darkness. But it is difficult to control profound treasures with the profound darkness since this origin energy is only unique to the True Devil God.”

Ji Yuan quickly got it, “So it means that the Spiritas Tower actually belongs to the True Devil God in the past?”

Destiny nodded, “The Spiritas Tower is meant to be a testing ground for the creations of the trials to aid in the cultivation of his subjects.”

Ji Yuan looked a little perplexed, “His subjects? Are you saying that the entire Spiritas Race here is his subjects?”

Destiny slowly nodded, “Not just for the Spiritas Race but the Human Race here as well. This entire heavenly divine realm is a creation of the True Devil God in the past. He is the True God and ruler here. And he is also the creation god of the Greater Spirit Realm.” 

Ji Yuan blinked his golden eyes; he did not know this.

But he knows what had happened to the True Devil God from the mural battle imageries in the Goddess Star Palace. 

The Spirit Divine Realm did not seem to have any true gods now. In the past, the Spiritas Race had worshipped the True Devil God but most of them worshipped the Great Beyond Goddess now.

“Wait a minute,” Ji Yuan said all of a sudden as he stared blankly at the Goddess Destiny. “I thought that you are from the Entropy Immortal Realm? Why are you here?”

Destiny smiled slowly, “So you are finally interested to know why I am in this place?”

Ji Yuan asked weakly, “If you don’t mind sharing, that is.”

Destiny began to sigh melancholy, “I don’t mind…”
