The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 241 Rewards & Exiting The 2nd Level



One by one Ji Yuan and his party had entered the portal to the third level of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

Before they had entered the portal to claim their rewards and to move forward to the next level, Ji Yuan bade everyone good bye first.

“Maybe we won’t get to see each other again in the next level.” Ji Yuan muttered.

All the maidens were inhaling melancholy and they secretly hoped that they would be able to meet in the same place again.

Little Princess, Ling Feiyue, Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi were all hoping that Xiang Li’s magic would work once more and that they would be able to meet again on the third level later…

Ling Feiyue was really praying hard silently; please let us be together…

Little Princess was staring blankly…

Bai Qianfeng was sighing unhappily; there was no promise that that they would meet again on the third level too. So she was also hoping that they would meet and not be separated.

Shui Xisi totally did not want to be separated from Ji Yuan even though she did not have an official relationship with Ji Yuan. She preferred to hide her love for Ji Yuan in secret from the others. That was why she had entered the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth on her own and that was with great sadness in her heart. However she was soon delighted when the first person that she had seen inside was actually Ji Yuan…

Feng Minyue had a perplexed look on her face. She was lucky to meet Ji Yuan again on the second level but there was no promise if she could meet him on the third level. Why was she missing him all of a sudden?

She did not want to join his party in the first place…

But now when it was time for her to leave his party, there was a lingering thought and hesitation in her heart.

Is not because of him but because I am a friend of Sisi…

But I am actually not close to Sisi at all before the trial starts…

Ji Yuan also had a reluctant look as he looked at the five maidens but he had no wish to check with Xiang Li if she was about to reunite everyone together again.

It was because he did not want to lose Xiang Li either.

He had remembered how Xiang Li’s previous mistress had lost her…

So with a soft sigh, he entered into the shimmering portal that led to the third level of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth.

There were barely any farewells.

Behind him, the maidens were sighing regretfully that the time was so short for this trial.

Even though Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi had been rebuking Ji Yuan for wasting plenty of time but they were actually secretly pleased.

Now they were cursing him silently; why Ji Yuan is so good with the trials…can he not be so good…

Ji Yuan soon found himself in a black spatial space.

The trial voice said to him. “You are the first to complete this trial. Hence, a reward shall be granted to you and it will be a good one.”

Ji Yuan smiled weakly. “So what is my reward then? Haha.”

“You can have a choice of three profound treasures. A heaven-step heavenly relic that can be refined into heaven-step divine sword, a rare celestial herb or a random heaven-step artefact.”

Ji Yuan frowned. “The rewards are actually so lame?”

The trial voice: …

“You don’t look like a very rich cultivator.”

Ji Yuan: …

“You can’t base your judgment of me with my mere clothing alone.” He immediately protested.

To prove his point, Ji Yuan unsheathed his immortal-step divine sword as he grinned. “Look! Do I look like a poor chap to you?”

The trial voice: …

“Do I need your heaven-step heavenly relic when I already have an immortal-step divine sword? Haha. You should give me a better reward than this.” Ji Yuan laughed.

“That is right! You should give Big Brother a better reward than this!” Xiang Li had suddenly appeared as she raised her infuriated fist.

Ji Yuan: …

“Who told you to come out?” He frowned. “Don’t you know that you’re not supposed to be out when there are others around?”𝑵𝓞𝓋𝚎𝓵𝞰𝓮xt.𝒞𝓞𝑀

Xiang Li chuckled. “We are in the spatial space and there is no one here. Does the trial master counts?”

Ji Yuan frowned immediately. “Of course he counts even though he is a spirit entity…”

“You are…Fairy Xiang’xiang Li’mu’er?” The trial voice appeared to be startled and he was even stammering.

Xiang Li laughed and her chuckle was filled with delights. “I’m now Fairy Xiang Li and I am my master most useless spirit entity. How did you know me? I can’t remember you.”

The trial voice sighed deeply. “Of course you won’t be able to remember me.”

Ji Yuan was startled. “You know Xiang Li?”

The trial voice answered after a long silence. “I can see that you really don’t need anything at all. After all, you have already possesses the greatest treasure that one can have…”

Ji Yuan interrupted immediately. “Hey, this is not an excuse for not giving me my due reward. This is a little lame, you know.”

The trial voice laughed. “I will give you something that you will like.”

Ji Yuan hummed coldly. “What if I don’t like it? Then will you give me some compensation?”

The trial voice: …

Xiang Li was giggling with delight as she listened to Ji Yuan; she remembered how she had been so amused by her Big Brother when they had first met that she followed him willingly. Her Big Brother was always greedy for the best advantage and as long as he was alone, he was totally shameless when he was demanding his rewards.

“Your immortal-step divine sword is a peaked celestial-step divine sword and it has the potential to become a saint-step divine sword.” The trial voice said slowly.

“Haha.” Ji Yuan chuckled. “Is it even possible?”

Saint-step divine swords are godly divine swords and are the most class of divine swords.

“Your immortal-step divine sword almost had the chance to become a saint-step divine sword…” The trial voice said slowly and his voice seemed to linger around Xiang Li. “But something stopped it from becoming a full saint-step divine sword.”

Ji Yuan rubbed his chin to ponder slowly; his half-step celestial step divine sword had suddenly become an immortal-step divine sword when he was fighting an epic eighth rank desolate monster and he had even acquired a sword spirit…

He sighed slowly; he knew that it was all due to Xiang Li…

If Xiang Li had vanished that day then his immortal-step divine sword may become a saint-step divine sword. Is that what the trial spirit is referring to about?

“Is it even possible? This is only the second level of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth.” Ji Yuan smiled weakly.

The trial voice laughed. “You will know very soon.”

All of a sudden Ji Yuan could see that there was a shimmering light on the blades of his divine sword and he could feel the startling profound power of the divine sword coursing through his veins. He was startled that the profound power of the saint-step divine sword was actually doubled of a full step celestial sword!

“This, this…” Ji Yuan was clearly stunned.

“Now do you believe me?” The trial voice calmly said.

But it was clear that the trial voice appeared to be many times older now.

“Now go and fulfill your destiny.”

Just as Ji Yuan was about to say something, a bright light had banished him away and he soon found himself lying flat on the ground.

His entire body was aching because the instant the saint sword had appeared in his hand, it was also draining and taxing his body as a new divine harmony began to occur at the same time. But luckily, Ji Yuan is a peaked great saint and he could easily wield a saint-step divine sword.

Just as he was shaking off his spinning headache and the aching of his body, he was suddenly aroused by panicky cries.

“This is really Ji Yuan…”

“He is really here…”

“My lord…”

Multiple gasps of delights were heard…

Ji Yuan blinked his eyes as he saw several skirts and bared legs surrounded him…

He was suddenly grinning now as he recognized Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi and Feng Minyue as they surrounded him.

“We thought that he may not be able to be here…” Ling Feiyue was gasping with joy.

“He is really here…” Feng Minyue was shaking her head with disbelief.

While Ji Yuan was grinning, he was checking his soul sea and was relieved that Xiang Li was clapping her hands inside his soul sea with great delight.

He was secretly pleased.

Xiang Li is still around…

He laughed as he took out the Mirror of Telepathy.

Shui Xisi gave him a jovial kick. “I know that you’re handsome but this is not the time to view yourself in the mirror. Do you really care about your image so much?”

Ji Yuan laughed weakly. “It isn’t that…”

Then he activated his Mirror of Telepathy and said. “Wan’Er, are you there? Ji Yuan here. Did you manage to find your way out.”

There was a long silence as a sobbing voice began to greet him. “Great Hero Ji, it is really you. I’m alright now and have cleared the maze trial. Now I am on the second level of the trial now. What about you?”

JI Yuan heaved a soft sigh of relief. “I am on the third level of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth now. Haha.”

Wan’Er said quietly. “You’re pretty fast. I can never hope to catch up to you. Please take care and I hope that you can clear more trials. Don’t force yourself if it is too hard.”

Ji Yuan replied. “I will and take care of yourself too. And good luck.”

There was a long pause of silence before Wan’Er said quietly. “I hope you are able to return from here and…I like you.”

“This…” Ji Yuan was stunned.

Before he could say more, Wan’Er seemed to have cut off the communications.

All five of the maidens were startled as they did not expect that Ji Yuan would receive a declaration of love from Wan’Er.

Ji Yuan was left to blink his eyes while Xiang Li was drooling with romantic delights as she chuckled. “Marry her, marry her!”
