The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 671 Room 25 (3)

?

Just as Shui Xisi was hesitant if she should unseal the seventh seal of her immortal sword and whether she could control the wild profound power that was in the Astronomic Eulogy, there was a sudden blink of light from behind her. 

This startled Ji Yuan and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu as well.

A slender and beautiful youthful maiden had suddenly appeared from within Ji Yuan's soul sea and she was Fairy Anyang. 

Ji Yuan blinked his golden eyes; he had not remembered calling for Fairy Anyang to be materialized to the outside…

All of a sudden, the spiritual profound animus that was around Fairy Anyang seemed to be changing and she was gaining a physical form.

But that was not all, she was also maturing into a most alluring young maiden and even her flowing hair seemed to be growing as well. 

Ji Yuan had to blink his golden eyes several eyes to be sure that this was really Anyang and he was muttering, "Anyang, is that you?"

Fairy Anyang nodded slightly and the transformed emperor-step divine sword began to fly into her extended right hand, "My lord. This is your Anyang…"

The sudden appearance of Fairy Anyang had not gone unnoticed by Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng, Old Reverend Beiyuan and Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing as well; they were astonished by the sudden bright animus. 

Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu were the most astonished as they were the closest to Fairy Anyang when she had suddenly appeared. 

Ji Yuan said with a startled look, "What are you doing here…"

Fairy Anyang flew to assist Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress as she shouted softly without turning her head around, "My lord, I hope that you would remember your Anyang as well. Hurry and solve the clues in the canvas imagery. Your Anyang will cover you!"

The spiritual force around Fairy Anyang had suddenly increased tremendous and renewing the profound strength of Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress all of a sudden. 

"This is…" Shui Xisi was startled as she regained some of her profound strength. 

Even the Lovely Empress was looking more spirited than a while ago. 

Fairy Anyang gasped to them, "Heehee, don't forget that I am still a spirit fairy that is older than the two of you combined and also a S Trial Spirit. This is my true form naturally and it is something that I don't wish to reveal unless I have no other choices. Unlike Xiang Li, I am not completely useless…"

Xiang Li had heard Anyang alright in Ji Yuan's soul sea and she was covering her face: Wuwuwu, Xiang Li can't fight and is completely useless…

But all of a sudden, she began to lit up and she was shouting: I may be the useless Xiang Li but I can enhance everyone's spirit animus except for myself…

Ji Yuan could suddenly feel a sudden spiritual force surge that was surging to all corners of the hallway, affecting the spirit animus of everyone including Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing's golden dragon spirit animus. 

The desolate angels of Yun Chi and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu had suddenly grown in profound power while Fairy Anyang and Bai Qianfeng also had their profound animus being strengthened! 

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing was startled as she turned to glance at Ji Yuan: Is this the power of the Goddess' Tear?

She could suddenly feel that the profound power of her golden dragon animus had suddenly been increased and that her cultivation level was temporary increased to that of an upper 10th immortal positioning, matching Old Reverend Beiyuan…

A trembling Ji Yuan was staring at the top of the dome now, trying to decipher the canvas imagery as soon as possible now.

Everyone was fighting so hard so that they could give him a chance to try to decipher the canvas imagery and he was their only hope.

Ji Yuan angrily said to himself, "Darn it. I want to fight so badly… this sword saint here wants to fight with the rest…"

But he knew that this battle was not his to fight and everyone was fighting for him instead. 

He felt as though there was a mountain of weight that was pressing upon him now.

Ji Yuan panicky stared at the canvas imagery at the top of the dome and he was muttering, "There are 9 portals on the left, middle and right…"

"The canvas imagery changes when I go left or right but stop when I go to the middle to view it…"

"Do I go to the left or right? Or even the middle?"

"But there are 9 portals on each side… but there is only one side that is the real path… and which of the 9 portals should I take?"

"If I stand on the right side, then the canvas imagery will rotate to the right and the Great Beyond Goddess would be looking at the left side of the hallway…"

"If I stand on the left side, then the canvas imagery will rotate to the left and the Great Beyond Goddess would be looking at the right side of the hallway…"

Ji Yuan's mind was in a turmoil as he cursed while turning to look at the direction of Shui Xisi, the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu and Fairy Anyang with a worrisome look, "How the heck do I know which direction is the correct one? Left or right, does it even make a difference? The number of portals is all the same…"

All of a sudden Ji Yuan yelled aloud while thinking out loud, startling the others, "No, wait! A circle has no end! Left or right, does it really matter? The answer has to be an odd number…"

"27 portals… what is the middle of 27? It is 14. The number 14th portal! This is also the portal that is in the middle of the middle direction as well…"

He began to shout aloud, "Everyone! Follow me to the portal in the middle!" 

Shui Xisi was fighting desperately against the golden golem and she was still thinking if she wanted to risk unsealing her immortal sword when she had heard Ji Yuan shouting out loud, "Huh? So fast?!"

Even Fairy Anyang was surprised of the speed that Ji Yuan had resolved the hints, "My lord is so fast? Or is he faking it?"

Shui Xisi had the same thoughts as Fairy Anyang as well; it was because Ji Yuan had once wasted so much of their group's time while at the lower levels and he seemed to enjoy taking his own sweet time. 

If Ling Feiyue was here, she would constantly remind the group at how pissed off she was with Ji Yuan when they were taking the trials together and at one point of the time, Ji Yuan had even attacked her at the beginning of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth when he was taking the trial too seriously. 

Xiang Li asked curiously in Ji Yuan's soul sea: Big Brother, are you sure? Do you want to think over again?

Ji Yuan did not want to think over it because everyone was struck at an impossible to win fight that could even cause God Immortals to falter. 

So he flashed to the 14th portal and shouted urgently, "What are you all waiting for? Come over here immediately!"

The Lovely Empress and Shui Xisi were just knocked back by the profound attack of the golden golem and they were now shouting back panicky, "Alright. Wait for us…"

Fairy Anyang picked the two fallen maidens to their footings and said solemnly, "We got to trust Ji Yuan on this!"

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing shouted to the rest, "What are you all doing? Come into that portal now! We will hold them off first!"

By 'we', she was actually referring to Old Reverend Beiyuan and herself.

Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng nodded as they hastily moved to where Ji Yuan was. 

When Ji Yuan saw that Fairy Anyang, Shui Xisi, the Lovely Empress, Bai Qianfeng the Null Abyssal Goddess and Yun Chi were all next to him, he said quickly. "We don't have time to think anymore. We have to go in now…"

Even as he said this, the two golden golems were already almost in their way and they had now combined to form a bigger golden guardian and its profound power was even more terrifying when 4 golden golems combined!

Ji Yuan began to pull all the maidens along with him as he solemnly said, "Let's hope that I am right…"
