The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan and his group did not wait for too long before they could board a ferry to the Wonderland of the Ecstasy Island.

There were in fact, many ferries.

Their ferry was manned by only a man who asked them, "A person or a group."

When Ji Yuan saw this ferryman, he was startled for he was a mere mortal man.

Can mortal even come to the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth in the first place?!

Feng Minyue was flushing and she was glancing downward while saying to the ferryman, "Group." Then she said to Ji Yuan and the rest, "Let's board the ferry immediately."

Even the other maidens except for Bai Qianfeng and Dream Mist were all looking uneasy.

Ji Yuan did not disagree with Feng Minyue as he was now getting an uneasy feeling now because he felt like he was being greened by all the surrounding cultivators.

The ferry itself was not large but could easily accommodate 10-12 people easily.

When they were onboard the ferry, Little Princess had suddenly grabbed Ji Yuan and pointed at an insidious sign that was hidden inside the dark woods of the ferry. She looked startled and whispered to Ji Yuan, "This is a symbol of the Evil Cultivation Palace. Only the Citadel Lords and the Evil Cultivation Master know about this symbol. Not even the elders and grand elders. How can it possible be here?"

Ji Yuan bitterly smiled, "Maybe this place is really the den of the Evil Cultivation Palace."

He did not tell Little Princess that Yun Chi was actually one of the three founders of this place.

Soon the ferry had landed along with many other ferries on a beautiful island.

This island looked large and there were many docks and beautiful buildings; it was like a big city.

Ji Yuan took a quick look and he was shocked that there were many mortals in the place and he was bewildered like many of his companions except for Feng Minyue since this was not her first time.

He could not help commenting, "Why is it that they are so many mortals here?"

In the Celestial Realm, mortals are those that are below the fifth realm and they had not formed their golden eyes and golden skeletons. A vast majority of the cultivators in the Celestial Realm are actually the mortal cultivators and golden celestials are like the overlords in the Celestial Realm.

It is said that once a cultivator reached the fifth realm golden celestial level, they are the superior cultivators and overlords of the mortal cultivators. When they had reached the sixth realm golden supremacy level, they will be arrogant for they ruled over the fifth realm golden realm cultivators. When they have reached the seventh realm golden saint level, they will become lofty because they will look down upon the rest of the golden celestials.

That is why a large majority of the golden supremacies in the Celestial Realm had an arrogant young master attitude and Ji Yuan was not an exception.

Ji Yuan was not an exceptional cultivator among the powerful celestial influences but he was still an exceptional cultivator who had reached the golden supremacy level earlier than most of his peers in his poor region which was lacking in spiritual auras.

He had feasted, drink, gambled, raid tombs, hunting desolate monsters and go for trials when his mood suited him. In his poor region, all the golden supremacies had only one rule and that they were kings of the world.

No saints would ever visit their poor regions and even a single saint was like a powerful influence in their poor regions.

The only saint friend that Ji Yuan knew was Xiao Muhan but he was actually weaker than Ji Yuan in terms of combat ability so Ji Yuan did not have a good impression of the other saints in the richer regions.

All his troubles started when he had offended the Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue by accident a hundred years old and then he had also discovered that he had also offended Ling Feiyue by accident as well.

He was actually thinking; what if he had disappeared for a hundred years then according to the rules of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, they should forgive his rudeness right? But a hundred year of isolation was too much for him so he had decided to try to forcibly breakthrough to the saint level. Halfway through his breakthrough, he had suddenly realized that it was actually harder than he had thought; he did not have any cultivation resources and that there was something wrong with the incomplete cultivation methods that he was hoping to depend upon.

When he had suddenly thought that his Jiajia would be with another man if he died and that he would be greened, a wave of conviction overwhelmed him and he got his breakthrough profound strength once more.

Therefore he had spent one hundred years clinging onto the divine sword that Jiajia had given him as his only spiritual support and had finally breakthrough to the half-step saint level.

As he had long finished all his profound pills and being dirt poor, he had to suck his thumb to become the weakest saint ever to step out of the cultivation chamber. While the other half-step saint would be cultivating their profound strength with profound pills and the rich spiritual auras of their mountains to consolidate their cultivation level, Ji Yuan was forced to end his seclusion early and to look around for spiritual profound pills to aid in his recovery.

Unfortunately, in his haste for a breakthrough and without a lot of cultivation resources to aid him, he had lost his poor beard in the process.

Since he did not want people to know that he was such a disgraceful saint, he decided to suppress his cultivation realm. Luckily for him, he had kept a mystic skill that he had stolen from Little Princess as a trump card and he could hide his golden eyes. In everyone eyes, he was now Yuan Ji the mortal cultivator instead of Ji Yuan the Saint.

Although his profound strength was that of a mortal cultivator but it was almost impossible for any mortal cultivator to actually injured his golden body and to kill him for a saint golden body and recovery was extremely resilient when compared to a golden supremacy golden body.

Ji Yuan thoughts had now returned to the docks as he weakly said, "We are all golden celestials here and these are mortals? Can we even die in this place? Moreover we are all saints here."

Feng Minyue quickly grabbed onto his arm and said, "Ji Yuan, we can still turn back now. Don't go into the city. It isn't a good place for us to go…"

"No, we must enter the city." Dream Mist had suddenly interrupted her. "The obscure laws are really strange and even I cannot penetrate it. I am curious to know what is inside."

Ji Yuan was now looking at the hordes of cultivators that had quickly disembarked from the ferries and they seemed to be making a beeline to the city.

Many of the cultivators were even looking at their group and were heard saying:

"You will surely enjoy your time here."

"I will see you later, Hahaha…"

"This is the place that I have been waiting for the past 500 years. I am finally back now…"

"This time I have brought many high grade spirit stones…"

Ji Yuan saw that even the female cultivators had an excited look as they sped to the city.

This was too weird to him…

But when he had thought that Yun Chi was inside the city, he had made up his mind. "I am going inside the city. I shall go in alone with Dream Mist. The rest of you can stay here at the dock first…"

"No, I will go with you." It was Feng Minyue who had said that and her reply surprised Ji Yuan.

Even Yang Mi, Yu Jingjing, Bai Qianfeng, Little Princess and Ling Feiyue were looking at him with a strong conviction as they said, "Even though we don't know what is in the city and it is giving us an uneasy vibe but we are all your consorts so we should follow you."

Ji Yuan nodded to them as he said slowly, "Well then… we shall enter the city then."

As they approached the city, invisible spiritual laws began to form around them and were gathering into their soul core.

The words of the spiritual laws were:

"Welcome to the Wonderland of the Ecstasy Island…"

"This is the City of Bliss…"

"No one is allowed to reveal what is in the Wonderland of the Ecstasy Island to anyone outside of this place. This will be written into your soul core…"

"Not even in the rest of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth are you allowed to reveal what is inside the Wonderland of the Ecstasy Island save its name…"

"No one is allowed to fight inside or to kill anyone or else your cultivation core will be ruined…"

"No one is allowed to interfere in the fun activities of the others or else your cultivation core will be ruined…"

"No one is allowed to speak of the Extreme Bliss Colosseum to anyone by any means, not here nor outside…"

Ji Yuan was now staring blankly at the spiritual laws of this wonderland as he muttered, "No one can even speak of this place outside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth? They can only speak of this place when they are here? And no fighting?! What is this Extreme Bliss Colosseum place?"

Dream Mist was also saying quietly, "There must be something in this place. The cultivation resources that they have put into this place is truly unbelievable. I can't even sense beyond this city."

Ji Yuan asked her curiously, "Cultivation resources?"

Dream Mist answered quietly, "Such as powerful profound treasures. There are many saint level profound artefacts in this place and even an emperor class profound artefect."

Ji Yuan was shocked, "Saint level profound treasures?!" He had never heard of saint level profound treasure before except for his saint-step divine sword and what the heck is an emperor class profound artefact?

Even Bai Qianfeng were stammering as she looked at Dream Mist, "Just who are you? How did you even know about the emperor class profound artefact?"

But Dream Mist merely said, "All profound treasures have a ranking. They are half-step, mortal-step, earth-step, heaven-step, celestial-step, immortal-step, saint-step, emperor-step and sacred-step."

Bai Qianfeng were stunned, "There is even a sacred grade?!" She was an immortal and yet she did not know that a sacred level could actually exist.

Dream Mist nodded but did not give any clarifications as she walked away; she did not tell anyone that Xiang Li was actually at the half-sacred level.
