The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 1122 Last Day with Bai Qianfeng

It was just Ji Yuan and Bai Qianfeng that were in a cave now.

The other maidens all understood that Ji Yuan had a lot of farewells to do with Bai Qianfeng so they left them to have their own private time.

Ling Feiyue and Little Princess were particular upset as they had been with Bai Qianfeng for a long time now. 

The Lovely Empress, Zhi Jiugong and the Smiling Divine Maiden were all quite fond of this 'eldest protégé sister' that had taken their place with mistress Yun Chi. 

The rest of the maidens were also quite upset as Bai Qianfeng was their strong pillar throughout the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. 

Yun Chi was left to sigh regretfully, "Somehow, the trial knows that we are coming and knows our strength. If you have not released your cultivation strength, this wouldn't have happened."

But Bai Qianfeng did not regret it.

She was only too glad to be of help to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan was now looking melancholy at Bai Qianfeng; without her by his side, he could not sleep well and he had been using her as his pillow.

The two of them talked for a long time, recounting how they had first met and their journey together.

Bai Qianfeng had wanted to kill Ji Yuan because he had thrown her out of her coffin as he thought that she was a dead maiden. 

So she sent a lighting divine calamity against Ji Yuan but ended up with a slave collar on herself when her attempts backlash. 

After that, they had a series of adventures together and ended up in the Dream Trial for thousands of years.

It was not wrong to say that Bai Qianfeng had been with Ji Yuan for the longest time as they had been in the Dream Trial for an entire life time. And this entire life time was thousands of years as cultivators live a long time.

Since then, the two of them had developed a close and intimate relationship with each other. 

Ji Yuan was very sad to see Bai Qianfeng go and he did not want her to leave for the immortal realm because it will be a long time before she can return.

He asked her, "Do you think that you can descend again?"

Bai Qianfeng answered him frankly, "I really don't know."

Then she explained to him that after an immortal had descended to a lower realm and returned, even if they have the profound treasures to do so, there will be a restriction to prevent them from descending again in a short notice.

And 1 year in the immortal realm is like 10 years in the Celestial Realm.

She told him that she has to wait at least 100 years to descend to the Celestial Realm again and that will be 1000 years for him.

Ji Yuan was shocked. 

That means that he has to be separated from Bai Qianfeng for more than 1000 years.

Ji Yuan was further heart broken.

Bai Qianfeng tried to comfort him, "You have so many maidens with you. Maybe 1000 years later, you may have forgotten about me. Then it will be so awkward to see you again…"

"No, I won't forget my Qianfeng!" Ji Yuan interrupted her firmly.

Ji Yuan suddenly asked her, "If we are unable to defeat the Great Demon God and remove the powerful arrays that he has set, does it mean that no immortals will be allowed to descend to the Celestial Realm?"

Bai Qianfeng nodded slowly, "That's right. You can only go up but not down."

The Great Demon God had waited for the space time rift from the Nine Heavens Realm to open when the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth had descended to place his powerful profound arrays on the great rift. 

Although the Great Demon God still had not fully regained his profound strength to the half-step True Divinity, he had decided to activate his plans instead of waiting for 10 000 years more.

One must know that it is not easy for the Great Demon God to regain the use of his 9th realm cultivations strength freely, having been in the Celestial Realm for several thousands of years.

The keyword here is the word 'freely used'. 

Because the Great Demon God is able to release his cultivation realm anytime but will be forced to depart from the Celestial Realm.

The Great Demon God also had plenty of 9th realm immortals with him but most of them were unable to regain the use of their 9th cultivation strength as fast as the Great Demon God. 

The Great Heavenly Dao has placed its restrictive heavenly dao upon the middle realm and restricted it to the peak of the 7th realm cultivation. Once a cultivator is ready to ascend to the immortal realm, they may be allowed to invoke the Immortal Heavenly Wrath at which they will fight against the heavens to become an immortal.

Failures will mean death instantly. 

And when golden celestial has perished, there is a chance that their golden skeletons will be further condensed into a heavenly relic in which divine weapons can be forged with.

So it is not exaggerating to say that the celestial cultivation sects with plenty of divine weapons are also the ones with the most failures.

The rate of a successful ascension is never more than 20% usually.

So most of the celestial cultivators would not attempt it unless they had really reached the end of their half-immortal life span. 

Their cultivation life span depends on the type of lightning tribulations that they had overcome when they are middle saints. 

Many middle saints actually did not survive to become a great saint as the lightning calamity usually kill 66% of the saint cultivators.

That is why many of the middle saints dread the lightning calamity and tried not to invoke the wrath of the lightning calamity by choosing to cultivate quietly or even slowing down when they are almost at the peak of the middle saint cultivation realm. 

Bai Qianfeng looked woefully as she said to Ji Yuan, "I am worried for you. What if you can't overcome the Great Demon God?"

Ji Yuan was immediately spirited, "Don't worry, Qianfeng. I am now at the upper 9th realm cultivation. Haha…"

Bai Qianfeng frowned, "The same as me? Ji Yuan, stop joking with me…"

Ji Yuan had suddenly released his profound aura and startling Bai Qianfeng. 

A shocked Bai Qianfeng asked Ji Yuan, "This… you have overcome the Immortal Heavenly Wrath to become an immortal? But you shouldn't be here and shouldn't be allowed to display such a powerful cultivation realm. How is it possible?"

Ji Yuan laughed, "I don't know too. Maybe I was inspired by my Greater Dao of the Heavens which was my last trial reward."

Bai Qianfeng inhaled softly, "I actually thought that you are joking about your reward for your last trial. But it seems that it may be true after all." 

Ji Yuan: …

"Ji Yuan. Please allow me to examine your profound animus." Bai Qianfeng said quietly.

"Alright."

After a while, Bai Qianfeng said quietly. "Just as I've thought. It is almost the same as the cultivations slip that you have given to my junior sisters. You are not a full immortal but a half-immortal. Although you are still able to use your cultivation strength to the 9th realm cultivation but it is severely limited as you are not a true immortal." 

Ji Yuan laughed, "As long as I can finish my immortal opponents while I still can exercise my profound strength, it is alright."

Bai Qianfeng nodded slowly, "You are a Sword Deity so you may have your advantages. If you are a power cultivator or some other types of cultivators, you have no chance against the Great Demon God."

"Qianfeng, I got something to show you as well." Ji Yuan said solemnly.

Then he had displayed his true divinity black sword and showed it to her. 

"This is a true divinity sword?! How did you obtain it?" 

Bai Qianfeng gasped again when she had suddenly recognized this black sword, "Isn't this the same sword that we saw when we were in the Goddess Star Palace? How come it is with you?"

Ji Yuan weakly said, "I did tell you and Yun Chi that this black sword had entered into my soul sea back then but you don't believe me."

Bai Qianfeng smiled weakly.

At that time she was with Yun Chi, Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu. But the 4 maidens did not believe that Ji Yuan was attacked by the black sword of the True Devil God.

Ji Yuan explained, "Well, I have finally managed to dig this black sword from my soul sea now. Hahaha…"

Bai Qianfeng shook her head, "This is a true divinity sword. It will be quite hard for you to wield it. Moreover, it is the true divinity sword of the True Devil God. Ji Yuan, what have you been hiding from me?"

Ji Yuan did not want to hide anything from Bai Qianfeng as she would be leaving soon. So he admitted to her that he had got the acknowledgement of this true divinity sword when he was at the Nightfall Heights. 

Then he said awkwardly, "Well, I think that I am the incarnate of the True Devil God himself. Hahaha…"

Bai Qianfeng was greatly astonished and she was also looking quite relieved now, "With this true divinity sword then we have a good chance of defeating the Great Demon God."

She was feeling quite depressed lately as she would miss the fight between Ji Yuan and the Great Demon God. 

Many of the maidens would probably also die in the battle and she was helpless to aid them.

Bai Qianfeng appraised Ji Yuan as she smiled faintly, "It isn't that bad to fall into the hands of a rascal like you then."

Ji Yuan frowned, "I am a rascal? Then I show you what is a little rascal…"

With that, Ji Yuan and Bai Qianfeng began to roll on the ground as they kissed each other passionately.

Ji Yuan transformed into a beast of a man as he was determined to make his last day with Bai Qianfeng into an unforgettable bang, bang.
