The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 309 Return To The Great Forsaken Basin (2)

The Desolate Dragon God Longdi smiled as he looked lustfully at Jiajia, "I have many ways to make you submit to me. You're merely a celestial. Crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant."

"She is mine!" The Evil Cultivation Master hissed. "I've never thought that my arch-enemy will actually be the daughter of the Great Goddess Celestial Alice and moreover…"

He was suddenly grinning with great delight, "Her primordial yin is still intact and perfect for me to regain my age. She will be the object of my dual cultivation. With her around, I no longer need to wait for Little Princess to reach the peak of her cultivation."

He had spent hundreds of years to groom Little Princess for his vile purposes.

There was a look of disgust in Jiajia's eyes and she had a light shudder before she said coldly, "I'm afraid that my primordial yin is only for my future lord."

The Sagess Alyssa was smiling wryly, "After today, it won't matter anymore because the Evil Cultivation Master will be your future lord."

"Or are you thinking of seeking aid from the Immortal Realm?" The Desolate Dragon God smiled coldly, "I'm sure you know by now that is quite impossible."

Jiajia had a slight shudder; it was because she had communicated with her mother consort in the Immortal Realm of suspected immortal activities in the Celestial Realm. However she was informed that a mysterious force had closed the way between the Celestial Realm and the Immortal Realm.

The Great Goddess Celestial Alice said, "My daughter, I'm afraid that a mysterious force is now trying to restart the immortal war between the desolate and the righteous immortals. This mysterious force may be true desolate immortals themselves. They are the original denizens of the Desolate Realm and right now the Immortal Realm is being invaded by the desolate powers of the Desolate Realm."

"By right, it is impossible for the portals of the Desolate Realm to appear in the Immortal Realm but it seems that they have tracked the location of the Immortal Realm via the Ancient Fortress when it had appeared in the Immortal Realm not long ago. This is only our best guess."

Then she said solemnly, "Soon, even the telecommunications between the Celestial Realm and the Immortal Realm will be cut off. You will be on your own. Please take care of yourself and protect your Sister Sisi."

"Your Sister Sisi is too reckless and naïve. Please set her on the path of cultivation and for her ascension. I am just afraid that she may be used by the less worthy in the Celestial Realm."

"Mother Consort…" Jiajia had suddenly burst into tears. "Xiao Ruan is now dead…"

The Great Goddess Celestial Alice nodded melancholy, "I've sense it too as well…"

Jiajia now flashed her divine sword and her eyes were bleary as she recalled her conversation with her mother consort.

Soon she had displayed the Hundred Flower Divine Strike, sending a beam of concentrated profound energies toward the three top cultivators.

"I shall avenge Xiao Ruan today!"

The Sagess Alyssa was startled when Jiajia had mustered her profound energies without a hint of doing so; usually powerful profound arts are easily noticeable and could be easily evaded.

They had analyzed Ji Yuan's profound art weakness and had noted that his Heavenly Light of the Coiling Light require three blink of an eye to execute while his Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Light would require five blink of an eye to execute once he had started to muster his profound energies.

The Evil Cultivation Master raised his divine sword to block the profound attack as he was sent flying back harmlessly due to the impact while the Sagess Alyssa simply evaded out of the way as she did not want to take any risk.

As for the Desolate Dragon God Longdi, he simply blocked with his saintly divine sword before defraying the profound art of the Hundred Flower Divine Strike aside, seemingly effortless; he had completely remained still while in mid-air.

He smirked coldly, "Save your puny efforts. Your profound art will never be able to work against a ninth realm immortal and moreover I am invincible with my True Dragon Demon Sword."

But all of a sudden Jiajia had flashed upon him with an instant after-image as she raised her divine sword to hack down upon the Desolate Dragon God Longdi.

A gigantic cross took shape like a proton light from her divine sword as she slammed her divine sword against the divine sword of the Desolate Dragon God Longdi.

"I've told you that your profound strength is inferior to mine." The Desolate Dragon God Longdi hummed coldly as he displayed a gigantic hue of white profound energies on his divine sword.

Not only did this gigantic hue of white profound energies broke Jiajia's sword stance easily but there was a streak of purple lightning that had suddenly generated from the gigantic hue of white profound energies to strike mightily against her, sending her to fly off for miles.

"This is my Heavenly Profound Lightning Assault." The Desolate Dragon God Longdi smirked coldly as he began to fly toward Jiajia.

Jiajia coughed out a bout of blood even as she used her divine sword to absorb the blunt of the lightning attack.

She was knocked back once again and all of a sudden she had turned around to flee.

The Sagess Alyssa shouted, "She is trying to run away now!"

The Evil Cultivation Master was already speeding toward Jiajia, "Do you think that you can even outrun us with your puny profound strength?"

He had immediately used unleashed several flaming fireballs that sped toward Jiajia. "Do you think that you can get out of this place to seek your reinforcements?"

With a sudden cold smirk, he shouted. "Explode!"

Immediately several of the flaming fireballs exploded like a mini nova around Jiajia as she screamed aloud before she plunged down toward a lone mountain that stood up in the desolate mists below.

Immediately the Desolate Dragon God Longdi, the Evil Cultivation Master and the Sagess Alyssa were all speeding to where Jiajia had crashed with a thunderous impact into the mountains below.

As soon as Jiajia had crashed onto the ground, her pursuers had already surrounded her by all sides instantly.

Jiajia weakly picked herself up, "It seems that I am unable to escape today…"

With a soft shout, she had displayed the Hundred Flower Divine Strike again as she held it above her before sweeping it all around her toward her foes.

The entire mountain side exploded furiously when it was struck by her profound art.

The Desolate Dragon God Longdi hummed coldly as he deflected her profound harmlessly, "This is futile resistance. You will only be exhausting your profound strength quickly in this manner. Your courage is to be admired but your stupidity is not to be praised."

The Evil Cultivation Master and the Sagess Alyssa combined their profound strength together to absorb the impact of the Hundred Flower Divine Strike and were also unharmed.

Jiajia swung her divine sword again as her blue profound animus began to expand furiously in the shape of a blue phoenix.

The Desolate Dragon God Longdi frowned before saying to the others, "She is burning her life essences. Be careful of her next attack."

Actually even without the warning, the Evil Cultivation Master and the Sagess Alyssa were already wary because they could sense a great deal of profound power had already been gathered by Jiajia and hence they did not dare to approach her.

They were quite startled that a mere celestial could actually gather so much profound power that it exceeded even the eighth realm cultivation realm.

Jiajia turned to stare at the Desolate Dragon Longdi, "I know now how you've managed to retain your cultivation strength in the Celestial Realm."

The Desolate Dragon God Longdi displayed an amusing look, "You can tell me but I won't confirm it. Or are you just buying time for your profound energies to be gathered so as to use your next profound art? I can tell that your next profound art will be your most powerful profound art."

"Indeed you're not wrong." Jiajia did not deny it.

However she also knew that her opponents would not attack her because she had also displayed a defensive stance with her life force energies unless they would want to risk themselves.

Therefore her opponents could only observe what her profound art was so that they would be familiar with it and it was a lot easily to evade it when she was attacking rather than when she was defending.

Jiajia said, "If I am not wrong, even though you may have the profound strength of a ninth realm cultivator here but your profound art is still being restricted here. Or else earlier, I won't not be able to survive your profound attack. Therefore the seals of the Great God Pangu are still restricting you."

She had taken the hits of her opponents' earlier to gauge their profound strength.

She pulled off her robe to reveal a blue reflective dress underneath.

"The Heavenly Celestium Silk Dress?" The Desolate Dragon God Longdi frowned. "This protective garment is indeed a little useful."

The Heavenly Celestium Silk Dress is nearly indestructible and is a profound treasure sought by many in the Immortal Realm.

The Sagess Alyssa smiled with delight, "I want her dress. You can have her naked body though…"

All of a sudden there were several dark shadows that were suddenly descending rapidly from the top!

Five large profound ships were freefalling rapidly onto the ground where Jiajia, the Desolate Dragon God Longdi, the Evil Cultivation Master and Sage Alyssa were at!

And accompanying the fall of the five profound ships were thousands of rocks!

It seemed that the entire heavens were suddenly falling meteors!

The Evil Cultivation Master and the Sagess Alyssa were startled as they quickly took evasive actions; it was not a joke if they were hit by these huge rocks that were weighted several tons and all these rocks were even burning with profound fire!

These profound ships weighted several thousand tons and were capable of ferrying thousands of cultivators!

But there was no fear in Jiajia's eyes as she suddenly made her profound attack against the Desolate Dragon God Longdi as she unleashed her Starlight Celestial Cross with everything that she had got.

A mighty starlight cross had suddenly flashed onto the Desolate Dragon God Longdi and the surrounding vicinity, exploding with a brilliant flare.

The Desolate Dragon God Longdi laughed mightily as he gave an amused look. "I've told you that it is futile."

He had raised his divine sword as he displayed his Heavenly Profound Lightning Assault once again; this power technique of his would instantly obliterate his opponent's profound art immediately and even counter an offensive in return.

But Jiajia flashed toward the Desolate Dragon God Longdi in a multitude of after-images while displaying her finger stance while shouting. "Golden Nirvana Divine Skill!"

Instantly the Heavenly Profound Lightning Assault was dissipated and shattered in a flash of brilliant light even as the Starlight Celestial Cross struck mightily upon the Desolate God Longdi with a thunderous impact and exploding the vicinity into a mushroom cloud!

"What the…" The Desolate Dragon God Longdi was completely taken by surprise as a mere celestial had completely neutralized his powerful profound art.

The Golden Nirvana Divine Skill is actually a miracle profound art and is actually similar to the Divine Exaltation Art that is being used by Shui Xisi and Shui Qingqing.

In fact, both skills have the same origin for both are immortal profound art.

It is just that Jiajia has a higher mastery over her Sister Sisi and she is able to evolve it to a miracle profound art.

And the Golden Nirvana Divine Skill is able to neutralize profound energies instantly at a huge cost to the practitioner's profound energies.

This was a major drawback for this miracle profound art but Jiajia did not care at this moment because she was bent on regaining her Xiao Ruan's artefact core.

In another instant her finger stance had transformed into a second profound art and there were three golden rings around her; this was her three cores of her True Sacred Saint Profound Art and she was now displaying it out to shatter her cultivation core.

The Desolate Dragon God Longdi was further startled and he could feel that that his inner cultivation sea was now boiling furiously in response to this act.

"Why are you shattering your cultivation core? This serves no purposes at all." The explosion from Jiajia's cultivation core had knocked the Desolate Dragon God Longdi several steps backward but he was otherwise unharmed.

All of a sudden he coughed out a bout of blood as the artefact core of the blue phoenix that he had taken was suddenly pulled out of his inner cultivation sea.

"This is enough." Jiajia said weakly as she flashed away as she expertly evaded all the debris and rocks that were raining everywhere.

She had managed to awaken Xiao Ruan's artefact core because they had shared a connection with each other. Therefore she was able to forcefully snatch it from the Desolate Dragon God Longdi even though the price was heavy; she had to sacrifice her golden cultivation core.

Even though the Desolate Dragon God Longdi, the Evil Cultivation Master and the Sagess Alyssa had wanted to chase after Jiajia but she had already taken flight.

It was as though there was an invisible force that seemed to be guiding Jiajia where the debris would be falling and she did not even have to divert her attention to deal with it.

When Jiajia had made her escape, the Evil Cultivation Master was cursing loudly. "It is obvious that she has setup an ambush point here!"

The Sagess Alyssa was stunned, "Where did these profound ships and rocks come from?"

The Desolate Dragon God Longdi looked in the heavens but instead of an angry look, he was laughing jovially. "This Hundred Flower Divine Master is really interesting. She actually has the tenacity to fight with me. I will take her to be my consort the next time."

The Evil Cultivation Master was startled as he said weakly, "She is supposed to be mine…"

"Not anymore now." The Desolate Dragon God interrupted coldly.

The Evil Cultivation Master: …

Days ago;

Jiajia was in a meeting with Saintess Yuluo, Xue Qianxue, Ling Tianshui, Zhao Songjin, Fairy Ye Chengxi, Shangguan Yan'Er, Hua Wuwu and Hua Baiyue.

Jiajia had drawn out a battle plan; she was to draw out the Desolate Dragon God Longdi and then she would setup an ambush point against him so that she could have an opportunity to get back Xiao Ruan's artefact core.

She said solemnly, "This is actually not a very good plan. Songjin and I have seen that person. He is very formidable and I really have no confidence that I may be able to defeat him."

"Therefore I have decided to use my four elders of the Hundred Flower Divine Palace to help me. They are all great saints and they are all willing to sacrifice themselves for my sake. It is also their way of avenging the humiliation of the Hundred Flower Divine Palace."

"Pardon me for saying this." Shangguan Yan said quietly. "Even if you want to do so, how can you be sure that this enemy will follow you to the ambush point? What if there are more of them? What if you cannot outrun them?"

Jiajia: …

Indeed there was a huge chance that she could not outfly them.

Xue Qianxue folded her arms, "What is this? You've formed this secret group only to tell us that we shouldn't be involved?"

Jiajia said solemnly, "Ji Yuan will be so sad if anything were to happen to anyone of you."

"Then count me in." Zhao Songjin said firmly. "After all, I am only friend with benefit with Ji Yuan. He won't be sad at all if I die. At least I can do something good for once."

Ling Tianshui smiled weakly as she looked at the battle plans. "Is this even a plan? I don't think it will even work without any support."

All the other maidens were all nodding weakly, even Hua Wuwu and Hua Baiyue were shaking their heads.

But Hua Wuwu said, "I am willing to accompany my mistress to the death."

Hua Baiyue was also nodding without any hesitation at all.

Jiajia sighed, "I know that this is a not a brilliant plan but the secret base of the Evil Cultivation Palace is in the middle of the maelstrom that spanned several hundreds of miles. There is no way that we can even approach the vicinity without even being detected by them.

"May Yan'Er say something again?" Shangguan Yan said intimately. After all, she was the lowest realm cultivator in the group.

Jiajia and all the other maidens nodded.

Shangguan Yan pointed at the map, "Even though the desolate mists span hundreds of miles in the Great Forsaken Basin but there are plenty of isolated mountain peaks in the vicinity. We can choose to setup an ambush point there rather than further away. This will improve your odds of reaching the ambush point as well."

Fairy Ye Chengxi smiled weakly, "But Sister Yan'Er, even before we are there, they will have known that we are there. How can this be called an ambush point then?"

All the other maidens were nodding.

"Although the ambush point is there but it does not need to be down there. It can be up there." Shangguan Yan smiled.

Xue Qianxue gasped, "You mean if we move very high up then we can move undetectable through the Great Forsaken Basin?"

Saintess Yuluo said, "Indeed this will move us out of their divine sense but it will also mean that we are too far away from Jiajia to render her any assistance."

Xue Qianxue chuckled as she looked at the smiling Jiajia, "I think you're also thinking of the same as me am I right? We can always drop our profound ships on them from above."

Jiajia nodded before she smiled at Shangguan Yan, "Yan'Er, thanks to you. I am now able to rework my plan. My brain isn't working all too well."

Shangguan Yan returned a smile, "I am just contributing to the best of my ability. I can't really be of any real help."

"No, this is a big help." Jiajia insisted with a smile.

Then she looked at Saintess Yuluo, "I think your help to increase the odds of this plan."

She explained quickly, "I am going to load the profound ships to heavy boulders. However I can't be sure that I can reach everyone but I know your divine sense is the sharpest of us here because you're a Sword Saintess. I will give a signal by lighting my profound art to the heavens and after picking it up, I hope that you can give the signal to drop the profound ships."

Saintess Yuluo nodded with a smile, "I can do something further. I can imprint these boulders with my sword spirit mark. All you to do are to get familiar with my mark so that you won't be hit by these big boulders."

"Thank you." Jiajia smiled.

"But we also need to calculate the positions of the profound ships and the falling debris. Like where it is supposed to drop and at what timing? I have only got a few blinks of an eye and I want to be fully focused on my actions."

Xue Qianxue winked at Zhao Songjin, "I seem to remember that we are both very good with mathematics and calculations while we are at the Celestial Orthodox Sect, am I right?"

Zhao Songjin laughed softly, "So let's have a friendly competition to calculate it."

"And then we will prove the calculations by dropping a loaded profound ship as a test experiment when we're done with our calculations." Xue Qianxue giggled.

Ling Tianshui rolled her eyes as she looked at the newly revised battle plan, "Five profound ships alone will cost 100 million high grade spirit stones and dozens of heavenly relics. Moreover if you want to fly to these heights, you have to burn a special type of rare spirit stones as well. This type of spirit stones are going to cost more than 100mil high grade spirit stones as profound ships are not meant to fly at that height. Also, we also need our own profound ships to escape immediately from the vicinity."

Fairy Ye Chengxi nodded weakly, "This plan will cost 500 million high grade spirit stones at the very least.

Jiajia nodded slowly, "This is…really…going to be expensive."

Zhao Songjin turned to Xue Qianxue with a smile, "You're now the Sacred Maiden now. Do you think the Celestial Orthodox Sect can financially help with this plan?"

Xue Qianxue chuckled, "Why not?"

Saintess Yuluo smiled, "My Profound Heaven Sword Manor as well."

Ling Tianshui laughed, "I can authorize the treasury of the Spirit Blue Moon Sect as well."

Fairy Ye Chengxi said, "The treasury of the Emperor Hall Sect is also opened for you. It is yours anyway."

Jiajia inhaled softly and there was a look of deep appreciation, "Thank you...everyone!"

Xue Qianxue giggled, "You know Jiajia. If you have us as your advisers to nail Ji Yuan in the past, surely he won't be able to slip away."
