The Romantic Cultivator

Cai Bisheng had found himself in a dark spatial space when he had opened his eyes.

But that did not stop the excitements that were in his eyes. It was because after this trial, he would be promoted to the fourth level of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth.

Moreover today he had made a fool out of Ji Yuan.

Even though he had won the wager against Ji Yuan but he did not have to forfeit his celestial sword and he had even completed a most tricky trial.

He was actually quite pleased with his performance today.

Even though he had lost the wager but it was obvious that Ji Yuan had only won the challenge because there was a strange alluring maiden that had suddenly appeared to help him.

He was already drooling with lustful excitement when he had recalled the strange alluring maiden.

"I wonder who she is?"

All of a sudden a hoarse voice crackled. "You're now in this place because you've overcome the trial and are entitled to claim your rightful reward."

Cai Bisheng laughed. "May I know what my reward is?"

"It is naturally something that will astonish you to no ends." The voice answered.

Cai Bisheng smiled. "I've seen countless profound treasures and have countless profound treasures myself. This is only the third level trial. Surely the profound treasures are nothing to be amazed…"

"You are wrong! Very wrong!" The hoarse voice answered. "Even though this may be only a third level trial but this is a most difficult trial. Naturally the reward for completing this trial will be amazing."

Cai Bisheng smiled weakly. "There are more than three hundred cultivators that have completed the trial at the same time. Are you saying that all three hundred of the cultivators will all have amazing rewards?"

The hoarse voice answered. "There are only three cultivators that will receive top rewards. That is Xiang Li, Ji Yuan and you…"

"Xiang Li? Who is she? Is she the maiden that has restored the spirit tree earlier?" Cai Bisheng asked curiously.

"Indeed. However she has decided to forfeit her reward." The hoarse voice answered.

Cai Bisheng asked curiously. "Forfeit the reward? Why?"

"She felt bad about interrupting the honorable challenge between Ji Yuan and you. That's why she has decided to forfeit her reward." The hoarse voice replied nonchalantly.

Cai Bisheng inhaled softly before he asked. "Then between that Ji Yuan and I, who is the first?"

"Naturally it is you. Ji Yuan is a latecomer and he didn't contribute to the growing of the spirit tree." The hoarse voice answered.

"Wait a minute." Cai Bisheng asked curiously. "If that Ji Yuan did not contribute anything then how did he manage to get to the top three?"

The hoarse voice: …

Shit…he found a loophole…

The hoarse voice was naturally Ji Yuan and he had requested for the trial spirit entity to allow him to pretend to be the trial spirit.

There was a trade-off naturally and Ji Yuan had to forfeit his reward for this trial.

This was not an issue for Ji Yuan naturally.

He quickly said in a pretended hoarse voice. "The reward that is given to Xiang Li is actually given to you and Ji Yuan as the two of you are the last two to have taken the challenge."

"I see!" Cai Bisheng laughed as he nodded unsuspectingly.

"So what is my reward then?"

"You will be given two options. One, a sword spirit for your celestial sword and two, your celestial-step divine sword will be upgrade to a half-step immortal divine sword." The hoarse voice echoed.

Cai Bisheng began to ponder immediately and he could barely contain his excitement.

A sword spirit was extremely difficult to obtain and a half-step immortal sword was even more precious…

Although both was a difficult choice to pick but an immortal divine sword was a billion times even harder to obtain.

As much as Cai Bisheng had wanted to obtain a sword spirit to improve his cultivation strength but compared to an immortal sword that could greatly enhance his profound power immediately, the immortal sword was clearly the winner.

Therefore he answered without any hesitation. "The immortal sword then."

"Lift your celestial sword then and I will upgrade it into an immortal sword. Let it float to me."

Cai Bisheng did as he was told as he lifted his celestial and let it hover in mid-air.

He was waiting in eager anticipation and his heart was pounding nonstop with excitement as he waited for his celestial sword to be transformed into an immortal sword.

As for Ji Yuan, he was laughing silently.

It did not matter if Cai Bisheng had picked the first or second reward because Ji Yuan would request for him to surrender his celestial sword.

He flashed a grin as he said to Xiang Li. "Now it is your turn to do your part."

Xiang Li chuckled with delight in Ji Yuan's soul sea as she quickly wiped away Cai Bisheng's profound signature from his celestial sword.

Cai Bisheng did not suspect anything even when his celestial sword had disappeared into the darkness of the spatial space.

The real trial spirit entity had sucked the celestial sword by dematerializing it into Ji Yuan's hands.

Ji Yuan laughed silently as he caught hold of the celestial sword. "Even though you're troublesome to obtain but in the end I've finally obtained my deserved reward from that rascal."

He quickly displayed his fake voiceover again. "Now you have to choose your portals."

Cai Bisheng appeared to be startled. "What about my celestial…immortal sword?!"

"Naturally it will be given to you once you have entered the portal. It takes time to transform your celestial sword into an immortal sword." The hoarse voice said nonchalantly.

Cai Bisheng said weakly "But…"

"Do you doubt the trial spirit? Do you know that the trial spirit cannot lie?" The hoarse voice said with great indignant.

Cai Bisheng quickly returned to his sense; that is right. A trial spirit will never lie…I have better not doubt the trial spirit or he will give me an inferior immortal sword because I have my doubts about his words…

So he quickly said humbly and with great politeness. "My apologies. I am just wondering only. May the trial spirit not take offense at my foolish words. I have never for a moment doubt the trial spirit."

The hoarse voice echoed deeply. "If you have developed any doubts then I shall destroy your celestial sword right in front of your eyes. Luckily you have not."

Cai Bisheng smiled weakly. "Of course, of course."

All of a sudden there were three portals in front of him. One red, one green and one blue.

There are three portals?

Just as Cai Bisheng was wondering why there were three portals, the hoarse voice echoed deeply. "The red one will take you to the next level. The green one will take you into a temporal stasis until the trial here has ended. The blue portal is a little special. It will lead you to where Xiang Li is."

Cai Bisheng was suddenly smiling. "If I pick the blue portal, will it screw up my chance? After all, I am supposed to go to the fourth level after this trial here."

"Xiang Li will be going to the next level as well." The hoarse voice answered.

Cai Bisheng was laughing all of a sudden. "In that case, I will choose the blue portal."

He was thinking; why do all the good things have to happen to me? Heh!

In his mind, he was already lecherous thinking of riding Xiang Li and making her into his woman…

Ji Yuan frowned when he had heard Cai Bisheng's choice.

It was because he was fine with just taking Cai Bisheng's celestial sword. But when Cai Bisheng had picked the blue portal, he was instantly defensive about Xiang Li.

He was thinking; even though I am only treating Xiang Li as my little sister and this isn't actually greening me but this Cai Bisheng is just a wolf in sheep clothing. If I don't teach him a lesson then there isn't any justice in this world. I am giving you a chance to repent but you have crossed me time and time again…

When Cai Bisheng had entered the blue portal, he was instantly shocked.

Instead of Xiang Li, he saw a grinning Ji Yuan in another dark spatial space and in Ji Yuan's hands were a saintly divine sword as well as his own celestial divine sword!

Cai Bisheng immediately displayed his profound strength to take back his celestial sword but to his utter surprise, his celestial sword was not responding to his profound animus. As a matter of fact, he could not even sense any of his profound animus from his celestial sword!

What was going on?

But he never got the chance to find out.

It was because with two quick double swing of the two divine swords that were in Ji Yuan's hands, Cai Bisheng was quickly cut down by Ji Yuan.

When he had died, he could not believe how easily Ji Yuan had cut him down.

And just before he had died, he saw a brilliant sword spirit that was flashing forward with his divine sense. For a moment, he had thought that he was mistaken when he thought that he had seen two sword spirits…

But he never had the chance to ponder because in the next instant he was dead.

Ji Yuan was startled when he had suddenly cut down Cai Bisheng just like this and he had suddenly noticed that his sword spirit was glowing brilliantly.

He had suddenly realized that Xiang Li had manifested herself and had enhanced his sword spirit.

The only thing that Xiang Li could empower was naturally the spirit entities and sword spirit was also considered to be a kind of spirit entity.

Xiang Li was raising her fist in rage. "How dare he have dirty thoughts on me!"

Ji Yuan had never thought that his sword spirit would be this powerful.

Naturally at this point of time, he did not know that he actually had two sword spirits as one. And Xiang Li was empowering the two sword spirits.

The second sword spirit that Ji Yuan had obtained earlier was actually merged successful into his original sword spirit.

The profound power of the combined sword spirits coupled with the divine swords were so great that it completely shattered Cai Bisheng's defensive profound aura and his golden body.

Even though Ji Yuan hated Cai Bisheng and he merely had wanted to cripple him but he had never expected that Xiang Li would suddenly intervene and accidentally causing him to kill Cai Bisheng.

Ji Yuan frowned. "Why did you do that for?"

Xiang Li replied sheepishly. "Big Brother, he is a bad guy! Why can't we kill him?"

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes before answering, "You should let him suffer first. Sometimes making a person suffer is worse than death itself. We ought to make him wish that he was never born."

Xiang Li: …

Ji Yuan muttered almost incoherently. "Because no one is gonna to green me…even if she is my little sister…"
