The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 497 False Hope Or Hope? (2)

Little Princess was stunningly looking at Dream Mist, "How did you do it? And how?"

She could not even find traces of any profound energies. This happened way too fast…

Ji Yuan however had an ugly look because he could feel his inner spiritual seas being consumed again. He was cursing silently: She ought to ask me for my permission. I have never known of any spirit entity that can use a cultivator's inner spiritual seas without permission…

What Ji Yuan had said is the truth and is the unbroken spiritual law between a cultivator and a contracted spirit entity. Spirit entities usually do not have any free will.

Qin Shuang was looking at Dream Mist with great awe, "Thank you… Maiden Dream Mist…"

Mo Bei was stunned too but he began to look at Ji Yuan then Little Princess before looking at Dream Mist, "Actually, are you sure that you are not colluding with each other just to fool me? How can this sort of thing be removed so quickly?"

If anyone was Mo Bei, they would think the same too and moreover Ji Yuan was sometimes a naughty trickster that liked to fool Mo Bei.

Ji Yuan began to growl at Mo Bei, "Do you think that I will be so bored as to fool you with something like this?"

Mo Bei stared at Ji Yuan before nodding, "If this is my Junior Ji Yuan then definitely."

Ji Yuan was speechless: …

He muttered weakly, "How come I didn't know my reputation is so bad in your eyes?"

Mo Bei answered him, "Do you even have a reputation to begin with?"

Even Ling Feiyue could not help chipping in with a soft laugh, "Ji Yuan is so illogical that he is capable of doing anything that you won't be thinking of."

Ji Yuan growled at Ling Feiyue, "My dearest Feiyue, whose side are you on? He is accusing us, you know."

While Ji Yuan and Ling Feiyue was laughing at each other, Qin Shuang was looking at Mo Bei now and asking him, "Senior Mo Bei, are you really… serious about me?"

Mo Bei embraced Qin Shuang tightly in front of everyone and he had tears shimmering in his eyes, "Of course! Of course! I'm not an old uncle like some junior who cares about chastity. I know that we are meant for each other and that is important for me. I only want you. What else do I want now? Come with me to my Eons Divine Mountains!"

Qin Shuang nodded slowly. She was very, very touched by what Mo Bei had promised her. She had thought that her life was at the end of a tunnel but this tunnel was not the end and was filled with light now.

Dream Mist suddenly said to Qin Shuang, "I've purified your soul core now. You will not be limited to just being a saintess in the future. You can even be a great saintess and your lightning calamity will be easier than most."

Qin Shuang was startled. She was now sixth realm golden supremacy and she had dreamed of the difficult saintess position day in and night out. She did not even know if she would be able to survive her divine calamity to become a seventh realm saintess; she just did not have the cultivation resources. That was why along with many of her celestial sectarian protégé sisters, she had entered the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth to search for more cultivation resources and profound treasures.

The Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth was more brutal than she had thought and the cultivators were from all over the Celestial Realm. Many of them had their ambitions and they could hide their ambitions very well, be they orthodox or unorthodox. As a lone cultivator that got separated from her protégé sisters and also a sixth realm golden supremacy, the trials of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth were really testing for her.

Dream Mist smiled to her before she looked at Ji Yuan and Mo Bei. Then she turned to walk away, "Enjoy your squabbles. I'm going off now."

Ji Yuan could see that Dream Mist was able to purify Qin Shuang so he quickly stopped her, "Maiden Dream Mist, I didn't know that you've got such an astonishing ability. May I implore you to remove the dark taint that is on my friend Xiao Muhan?"

Dream Mist turned slowly to face Ji Yuan…

She knew that she should not have intervened to help Qin Shuang but she was touched by Qin Shuang; she had been willing to forego her life just to warn everyone and for that, she was willing to take the slave soul mark a second time. Unlike the other depraved slaves, Qin Shuang felt no pleasures but only disgust

Moreover the love that Mo Bei had for Qin Shuang meant that they would undergo plenty of hardships together. But eventually they would be able to overcome it together as a couple. And she could see Ji Yuan gathering his harem to help Mo Bei and Qin Shuang as well.

Ji Yuan was a badmouthed cultivator and looking unhelpful most of the time but the truth was that he would go to a great heights to help all his friends, including Xiao Muhan. That was why Ji Yuan best friends never have to pretend to be someone else and they were all comfortable around him.

Therefore she had intervened to help Qin Shuang.

Ji Yuan was anxious for his best friend Xiao Muhan, so he asked again. "Well, I don't want him to touch any of my harem, that's why. Haha…" The truth was that he did not want Xiao Muhan to suffer any loss in his cultivation.

Dream Mist said to Ji Yuan, "I am only returning a favor back to you by helping Maiden Qin Shuang."

By favor, she meant that time when she had caused Ji Yuan to lose his inner spiritual sea hence preventing him from using any of his profound strength.

She added nonchalantly, "This Queen has a cold and hard heart. Therefore I am afraid that I can't help your friend Xiao Muhan."

When she had helped Qin Shuang, her avatar was also being weakened. That was why she was reluctant to help Xiao Muhan. Moreover, Xiao Muhan had a more impure soul than Qin Shuang and the effort to help him was many times greater.

With that, she had left the cave while leaving Ji Yuan to have a bitter aftertaste.

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "She is able to help but she refuses to help Xiao Muhan…"

But secretly he was actually delighted that she had helped Qin Shuang. It was just that he just was not able to understand this Dream Mist. Just who was she? While it was not surprising to him that most of the higher ranking spirit entities know about Xiang Li as the Goddess' Tear but this Dream Mist was actually trying to force him to make a wish.

Xiang Li was suddenly suggesting to Ji Yuan: Big Brother, I've an idea on how to make her help Xiao Muhan.

Ji Yuan frowned to her: Even a big brain like me can't think of a way. Can you?

Anyang giggled in Ji Yuan's soul sea: Xiang Li is suggesting for you to bang Dream Mist so that you can force her to submit to you.

Ji Yuan: …

Xiang Li chuckled: That is right. Good idea, right huh?

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: We really need to talk about some moral codes, Xiang Li. And you too, Anyang.

Ling Feiyue smiled and had interrupted Ji Yuan's conversation with Xiang Li and Anyang, "Minus the first day here. We still have four days of cultivation to do. I wish everyone good luck in your lucky occurrences. The time that we have is really short so please make the full use of it."

She emphasized, "No secret meeting until then."

Ji Yuan had a bitter look and so did Mo Bei.

Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing also had a most disappointing look.

Ji Yuan was actually very weak in most of the cultivations and he was staring blankly at the profound energies of this cave: Someone please kill me for the next four days…

A cultivation slip is rare in the hands of a cultivator and it is unlike the standard scripts and cannot be copied easily.

It was because a cultivation slip was just dots and symbols, with some symbols even containing thousands of dots. These symbols and dots represented the cultivation insight of that particular profound art and is the stellar systems within the body to unleash the celestial power of the cultivator.

That is why it was not as easy to master when compared to a sword art nor can it be copied easily; to copy one, even a mistake in the spacing of a dot can change entire meanings!

It is just too hard to copy a cultivation slip if one does not have a good understanding of the profound art. Even if they can understand it, copying a cultivation slip is on an another level. That is why cultivators often fight to the death over a single original cultivator slip and even just a portion of it.

In many celestial clans, cultivation slips are the sect most valuable heritages and only direct protégés are able to view the cultivation slips. For heir apparent, they can even get the original and the copied version for comparison because sometimes a sect may improve a certain aspect of the celestial profound art.

Least but not all, everyone has a different constitution and they have to adapt the stellar systems of the cultivation slip for their own. That is why the same cultivation slip often have many meanings when used by many cultivators.

Right now, Ji Yuan was staring at the broken cultivation profound energies that were waiting for him to be converted into symbols and comparing to his existing cultivation knowledge.

He gave a bored look as he thought: Other cultivation MCs can learn any profound art instantly and be insanely powerful but why is that I have such a mind-block?

Then he shrugged his shoulders: This peaked great saint here decides to practice my swordplay for the next four days instead. I am going to train on my reflexes and speed. To hell with all the cultivation practice. I am already a peaked great saint. Wakakaka…

Xiang Li reminded him: Big Brother, this is lame. How do you improve upon your profound strength then? Speed attacks don't work against the cultivators if you can't even penetrate through their profound auras. You need more profound power, PROFOUND POWER!

Anyang was also nodding: Look at that Jue Jie. His profound defense and aura are so powerful. That is because he is a genius in cultivating.

Ji Yuan laughed their concerns off: But still I had killed him, right? Haha…
