The Romantic Cultivator-Chapter 243 The 3rd Level Of The WEL (2)
Ji Yuan was left alone on his own to practice with his saintly sword for a day while the five maidens watched him from afar.
In just a single day, Ji Yuan was already handling his divine sword very well and he could produce his perfect divine harmony again.
He was greatly startled by the profound power that he could display through the saintly divine sword as it could enhanced his profound strength by many times.
Awesome was the word to describe it.
Ji Yuan was thinking. "Maybe I can even be the first person to ever attain my sect's Major Heavens Sword to the Ninth Level. Hmm, but the ninth level is only a theoretical realm and is called the Sword of Destruction. No one has ever attained it before. Moreover it requires a saint-step divine sword. It must be a joke of my patriarch because he must have thought that no descendants will ever obtain a saint-step divine sword. Oh well, you joker. Today, one of your descendant protégé and that is me, Ji Yuan, has a saint-step divine sword and who is also a peaked great saint has a chance now to prove that you are a joker to the rest of the Orthodox Sword Sect. Haha."
As Ji Yuan was practicing with his divine sword, Ling Feiyue was saying quietly to the other maidens. "Ji Yuan has a destiny to fulfill as foretold by Diviner Mo Ming. We mustn't be a hinder to him and we should move with haste through the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth."
Little Princess nodded. "We have a lot of fun while we are with him. But it is time that we should get a little serious for now. Or we will only be hindering his destiny."
"His destiny?" Feng Minyue asked curiously.
Shui Xisi took over from Little Princess and nodded gently, "Diviner Mo Ming says that Ji Yuan is the prophesied great hero and he won't be wrong. Even my Sister Feifei who is known as Jiajia to the rest of you also believes in the prophecy of Diviner Mo Ming."
Feng Minyue gasped softly, "The mysterious Diviner Mo Ming who is known to have the most uncanny divine sense in the Celestial Realm. His renown is even known in the Nine Celestial Fraternity as well."
Actually Feng Minyue was with Fan Yuqing when Divine Mo Ming had appeared to declare Ji Yuan a great hero. Although she was in the settlement but she was nonchalant as usual because she did not care of any gossips and did not pay attention to what was happening in the settlement. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨m
She was aware that the settlement was attacked but she also knew that it was stopped so she did not care for the details.
"Ji Yuan is that great hero?"
Feng Minyue was suddenly flushing because she really did not know that Ji Yuan was the guy that had saved the settlement. She had heard of a great hero that had happened but she did not care for the details or who he was because it did not concern her at all.
Bai Qianfeng lowered her glances. "So no more scouting with Ji Yuan…"
Shui Xisi was smiling bitterly; she did not even have a chance to scout with Ji Yuan yet!
But she knew that they must be more serious as the second level of the trial had taken them quite some time to clear, mainly because they had wasted three weeks doing 'scouting'.
She shrugged her shoulders as though she did not care but her voice was bitter. "Who wants to scout with him?"
Ling Feiyue was trembling lightly as she held the tender fingers of Little Princess and Bai Qianfeng. "My dear sister saintesses, we must ensure that the plots of the Evil Cultivation Palace are foiled. Our other sisters are fighting equally hard in the settlement and we have no idea if they're alright."
Ling Feiyue and the others had no idea that the Evil Cultivation Palace had mostly been eradicated and they had no idea that the main threat was something else.
But they have all trust Jiajia because her cultivation strength is stronger than anyone of them and she is a peaked great saintess.
Even Bai Qianfeng is willing to trust Jiajia because she can tell that Jiajia is actually stronger than she looks. Moreover Jiajia is the daughter of her arch-nemesis the Great Goddess Alice. Therefore she may have several secret immortal treasures that she can use against the Evil Cultivation Palace.
Qianfeng sighed softly. But her trust may be misplaced. Because…
She turned to Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Shui Xisi and Feng Minyue to say in a nervous voice. "We must hurry. This enemy may not be an easy enemy and may be a terrifying one."
Ling Feiyue was startled by the sudden nervous voice that was displayed by Bai Qianfeng. "Huh? What do you mean?"
Bai Qianfeng sighed. "The Evil Cultivation Master is a desolate immortal."
Ling Feiyue, Little Princess and Shui Xisi were startled. "We're fighting against a desolate immortal?"
Feng Minyue could not help adding with a wry smile. "The desolate immortals are restricted in the Celestial Realm. There is nothing to fear from them. My Sister Saintess Yuqing can easily take them down."
Shui Xisi was smiling bitterly while muttering silently; I've better not let them know that I am Fan Yuqing's little sister or it will be so awkward…
She was actually not sure if Fan Yuqing is able to take down a desolate immortal because she had only met this sister only a few times. Like Fan Yuqing, she is also peaked great saintess and she even has the saint-step divine sword of the Great Goddess Alice. However there is a seal on her divine sword that downgrade it temporary to an immortal-step divine sword because the appearance of a saintly sword will definitely shake the entire Celestial Realm.
So it is never a good idea to show off her saintly sword.
That was the reason why Shui Xisi had used mainly used her whip instead of her divine sword.
However she did not know that Bai Qianfeng had already recognized the aura of her divine sword and knew that she is related to the Great Goddess Alice.
But for now, all five maidens were all on the same side and they had agreed that they must move more hastily.
Feng Minyue nodded as she added quietly, "There are many geniuses in the Celestial Realm. Judging by the time that we had taken, more than 1/3 of the cultivators must have reached the third level already. Although 1/3 isn't a lot but there are literally hundreds of thousands of them and the number of worlds will be much fewer. Therefore instead of meeting less and less cultivators, we will actually meet more and more cultivators. This is the cunning design of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth. Eventually we may even need to fight the other cultivators here. And these geniuses will be getting more and more aggressive at the higher level because they are the fittest of the survivors."

And Ji Yuan had suddenly found himself doing the scouting alone after he had completed his sword practice.
He was cursing silently because all of a sudden none of the maidens were willing to accompany him to scout anymore.
What was going on?
"Feiyue?"
"Haha. Little Princess, shall we take a stroll together?"
"Erm, Qianfeng. Let's go!"
"Sisi, will you like to go with me?"
"Haha. Maybe Maiden Feng will like to go with me?"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Even Xiang Li was asking. "Big Brother. Why are all the maidens suddenly so cold toward you? Did you do something wrong?"
Ji Yuan was left frowning. "Maybe they are unhappy that I have a saintly sword now? Did I show off too much?"
But he was soon smiling bitterly. It was because actually he knew that they were not so petty and they had purposely allowed him to claim the best rewards. So this may not be the reason…
He was left rubbing his chin as he walked through the mountain trails.
Yea, so what happens?
Women are so difficult to guess. Their hearts are like the deepest oceans…
"Xiang Li, you are a maiden too. So why don't you tell me why they are so cold all of a sudden?"
Xiang Li pondered for a while before she answered with a chuckle. "Isn't that easy? They must be envious of Wan'Er!"
Ji Yuan was startled as he gasped all of a sudden as he clapped his palms. "You don't say…I think you may right. I've completely forgotten about Wan'Er. They are only pretending that they are not upset with what is happening with Wan'Er and I but actually they are secretly upset with me. Why didn't I think of that? Xiang Li, you must be a genius."
"Of course I am a genius, Big Brother!" Xiang Li laughed.
"I have decided to make you my love consultant from now onward to guide me in my relationship. Haha."
"Love consultant? What is that?" Xiang Li asked curiously.
Ji Yuan laughed softly. "Erm, you will be my special love consultant and this role is for you to dish out special advice to me on my love relationships."
Xiang Li frowned. "Isn't that what I've been doing all this while?"
Ji Yuan blinked his eyes. "Yea right. I've forgotten that you are always giving me needless useless advices. Sorry I am going to take back my offer to you. You're now dismissed from this role."
Xiang Li: …
All of a sudden Ji Yuan was startled to see hundreds of cultivators below the mountain; he was secretly pleased because it could only mean that there may be a trial nearby!
He was feeling really very lucky now.
But as he could not see any trial entrances and the visibility was blocked by many trees, he leapt down the mountain slope quickly so that he could greet the cultivators below so that he could gather some information before heading back to his party.
"We are in luck, Xiang Li. I didn't think that I can find our first trial of the third level so quickly. Haha."
"I have heard that if one is unlucky in love, they will be lucky elsewhere." Xiang Li pointed out with a soft chuckle.
Ji Yuan: …
In no time Ji Yuan was near to the hundreds of cultivators and he saw that they were all sharpening their weapons.
He was quite startled as he wondered. "What are they doing? Are they having a fight or what?"
But as he approached he saw a black stele and he saw that many of the cultivators were entering into a gorge. All of a sudden he had spotted Jin Yilong among the cultivators that were going down the gorge and he was startled.
Before he could touch the black stele to understand the black stele, a beautiful maiden in a revealing short shirt and mini skirt had suddenly approached him with a lovely smile. "This is a trial to kill the desolate monsters below the gorge."
"Oh?" Ji Yuan answered her.
She laughed. "So what is your name?"
"And what is your name too?" Ji Yuan asked.
"Don't you know that it is rude to ask a lady's name first?" She laughed.
Ji Yuan could not recognize which celestial fraternity that she was from and after a short pause, he answered. "I am Ji Yuan and you?"
"I'm Chen Hanhan." She laughed softly.
Then with a solemn look at Ji Yuan, she said quietly. "This is the third level of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth and things are getting more dangerous. You should quickly find a party for your own benefit."
Ji Yuan smiled. "I don't need a party."
Chen Hanhan laughed softly. "Of course you need a party. Do you know why I am looking for you to party up instead of the others?"
Ji Yuan replied. "No?"
"Because you look more honest than anyone of them and I feel safe if I were to party with you." She added solemnly.
Ji Yuan rubbed his chin as he rolled his eyes. This is too suspicious…
"And you are handsome as well." She winked at Ji Yuan.
"Haha. Is that so?" Ji Yuan laughed.
Xiang Li was clapping her hands, "Big Brother is really very handsome!"
Chen Hanhan smiled as she winked at Ji Yuan. "So do you want to party with me then?"
Ji Yuan laughed for a short while before he ceased his laughter. "No."
Chen Hanhan: …
Xiang Li: ???
"Big Brother, why did you reject her offer to party? Show her how impressive you are!"
Ji Yuan frowned to Xiang Li inside his soul sea. "You can't trust any beautiful maidens with lovely legs. The shorter their skirts, you can't trust them."
Xiang Li: ???
Ji Yuan laughed. "She is only trying to scam me but her playacting is still light years away. Haha."
Xiang Li asked with a perplexed look. "Surely not? She looks nice."
Ji Yuan answered. "There are so many cultivators around. Why did she pick only me? That is a cause for alarm already."
"Didn't she say that you're handsome and you look more honest than any of the others?" Xiang Li asked curiously. "She is telling the truth!"
"Trust me on this Xiang Li…"
All of a sudden Chen Hanhan had a woeful look as she stared blankly at Ji Yuan. "You don't want to party me because you think that I am a scammer? Is that what you are thinking secretly?"
Ji Yuan did not know how to answer her because at this moment, he was staring down her bodice shirt and he was drooling.
So he only managed a weak protest. "No. I already have a party nearby and they are waiting for me."
Chen Hanhan lowered her glances shyly before she said. "Don't you want to clear this trial? I can help you to clear this trial effortlessly. I can even help your party to clear this trial effortlessly. But it is only because of you. Because it is fate that we are able to meet here."
Ji Yuan blinked his eyes as he thought; she is definitely a scammer and a lovely scammer. If she can clear this trial effortlessly then she won't be here already.
