The Romantic Cultivator



Destiny asked Ji Yuan before he had entered the towering blue portal, "Ji Yuan, are you sure that you are able to do it?"

Ji Yuan answered her with a confident look, "Of course! I never do things unless I have the great confidence that I will be able to do it."

He neglected to mention that he was usually very cautious except when it touched his manly pride.

In front of Destiny, he wanted to impress her because she was a immortal goddess and it served his pride to do so.

Anyang warned him: Don't make it end up serving you right for trying to salvage your pride instead. If you don't know, just say so.

Ji Yuan frowned: No cultivation hero will ever say they don't know. They just figure out at the very minute.Nᴇw chapters are publɪshed on NovelEnglish.net

Anyang asked him: For example?

Ji Yuan pondered quickly before he answered proudly: For example, there is this cultivation hero Yun Che that always challenge everyone that is stronger than him and go suiciding. But always, at the very last minute, he will surely power up and gain mysterious powers that will aid him…

Anyang chuckled: I know that story. His maidens always end up saving him for some reasons and all the readers of that story always end up vomit blood because of his rashness…

Ji Yuan interrupted her: That isn't the point. The point is that he always ends up in the right place and at the right time.

Anyang and Xiang Li chuckled at the same time as they said almost together: Like now?

Ji Yuan muttered weakly: Yeah. Like now…

And with that, he had taken a reluctant foot into the towering shimmering portal that was a mile in height.

Destiny quickly followed behind him as she said to him, "Ji Yuan, what's wrong? You don't look alright."

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "I am perfectly alright. In fact, soon you will know how genius I am."

Destiny smiled to him, "I am sure that you are a genius for sure."

Ji Yuan felt manly after hearing Destiny praise for him and began to step in boldly into the shimmering portal.

Now the portal had not been activated yet and Ji Yuan could see that they were in a black spatial space with many profound circles around him.

These profound circles were actually made out of many white and gold symbols that swirled very fast around him and Destiny, making it look like a continuous white and gold circle.

There were 5 profound circles around him.

Destiny smiled to him and said, "Now you have to stop the symbol at the life gate for each circle. By getting the correct symbols, we will be able to use this portal."

Ji Yuan nodded but secretly he was asking Xiang Li and Anyang in his soul sea: Erm, can you neutralize this profound array for me?

Anyang shook her head: This is an immortal array and is too strong for us to neutralize.

Xiang Li giggled: Big Brother, you have to depend on yourself this time.

Ji Yuan: …

He muttered weakly: Then can anyone of you tell me where the life gate is?

Xiang Li giggled softly: I don't know!

Anyang weakly said: We don't study these things as we can't use the profound arrays. Profound arrays need plenty of soul power and we are particular weak in it.

Ji Yuan muttered weakly to them: Thanks for letting me know…

He turned to Destiny with an awkward look, "Erm, where is the life gate?"

Destiny was startled, "You don't know?"

Ji Yuan blinked his eyes as he stared blankly at Destiny, "I've thought that I only need to arrange the hierographic runes into the correct sequence and then I can obtain the Dark Heavens Eye?"

Destiny looked at him with a perplexed look, "That's right. Isn't it what you are doing now?"

Ji Yuan answered, "But this is more complicated than I've thought."

Ji Yuan said awkwardly, "For example, where is the life gate of the first circle?"

Destiny was startled for a while before she looked at him with a weird look, "This is the basic part of the formation arrays. Don't tell me that you don't know?"

Ji Yuan answered awkwardly, "I happen to be extremely good in all kinds of cultivation except for arrays and formations."

She then pointed in the northeast direction, "The life gate is at the northeast direction. As soon as the circle with the symbol whirled near it, you can use your soul power to halt it. If it is the correct symbol then the first circle will stop and we can proceed to the second circle…"

Ji Yuan interrupted, "So the life gate of the second circle is also at the same direction?"

Destiny muttered weakly, "No, it is over at the Southeast direction. But let's solve the 1st circle first before we go to the 2nd circle."

Ji Yuan slowly nodded, "About that 1st circle… can you pinpoint the direction of the life gate that is at the northeast direction for me? This is too vague…"

Destiny weakly interrupted him, "I think you doesn't even know anything about profound arrays at all."

Ji Yuan suggested to her, "Erm, why don't I tell you the symbol and you do it for us? This will be much easier."

Destiny slowly nodded as she looked with some amusement at Ji Yuan, "Alright then… so what is the first symbol?"

Ji Yuan pondered for a while.

Either SANTA or SATAN has to start with a S.

So if he picks the Symbol S, he can't be too wrong about this since both Sisi and his guess are both S.

They can't be both wrong at the same time, right?

With a confident look, he grinned at Destiny and said firmly. "Pick the Symbol S. That is the correct one."

The Goddess Destiny nodded as she waited for the Symbol S to whirl near to the life gate of the 1st circle before she channeled her soul power into it.

All of a sudden, the black spatial space began to flash white and red, indicating that the symbol had been activated incorrectly.

This stunned Destiny as she stared at Ji Yuan, "This is the wrong symbol?!!! Now we may have alered the Great Desolate Wyrm from his slumber..."

Ji Yuan looked at her with a straight face as he pretended to console her, "Erm Destiny, I think you did it incorrectly. That's why. But I don't blame you for this. I will help you to shoulder this failure together. Don't worry. With me around to protect you, everything will be alright."
