The Romantic Cultivator

With a heavy heart, Ji Yuan walked toward the blue portal.

He took one last look at Feng Minyue, Mu Wan'Er before he took a forlorn look at Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi.

The nature of the trial itself forced all the cultivators to be separated again after each new level of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

There was really nothing that Ji Yuan could do except for a melancholy sigh.

He could feel the forlorn looks that were on Feiyue, Qianfeng, Little Princess and Sisi as they quietly followed after him.

Even though they could follow him into the blue portal at the same time but they would not appear together on the second level.

The Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth was very vast and it was estimated that there may be as many as more than three hundred thousand golden celestials from all over the Celestial Realm that were taking part in the trials.

Some had even estimated that there were a million golden celestials!

The first level had thousands of worlds before scaling smaller in size for each level because many of the cultivators would be struck on the first two levels.

Ji Yuan knew that it was impossible to meet them again so soon. If he wanted to meet them then they had to endure until the upper levels of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth where the number of worlds would dwindle down to just a few dozens.

He could only pray silently in his heart for now.

With one last look at all the maidens, Ji Yuan had entered the blue portal now; he had already said his farewells to everyone and it was pointless to linger anymore.

He now found himself in a white room with a door in front.

"Where am I?"

In front of him were two tables and there seemed to be a mirror on the table.

The voice of the earlier dark robe ferryman echoed. "This is your reward. You can only pick one of the mirrors."

Ji Yuan frowned. "I am a man. Why will I need a mirror for? And what is the purpose of these mirrors?"

The laughter of the dark robe ferryman laughed. "These are the Mirrors of the Telepathy. You can only obtain them in this trial and you cannot obtain this elsewhere. Even in the Immortal Realm, the Mirrors of Telepathy is quite a rare profound treasure."

"Oh?" Ji Yuan began to laugh. "Then it means that I have the lucky occurrence to find something so rare? Am I lucky or what? Quickly tell me, what are the uses of these two mirrors?"

"The Mirrors of Telepathy will allow you to contact another cultivator briefly as long as they too possess another Mirror of Telepathy…"

Ji Yuan was startled and he had an excited look on his countenance. "Does this mean that I can contact Feiyue, Qianfeng, Little Princess and even Sisi even if we are not together? Awesome! Haha."

But all of a sudden Ji Yuan was frowning. "Wait a minute. Did you just say that in order to use the Mirror of Telepathy, the contacted party must have another Mirror of Telepathy first?"

"That's right."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

"Then this Mirror of Telepathy is of no use to me." Ji Yuan cursed softly.

"It will be of use." The voice of the dark robe ferryman echoed in the white room. "Because everyone that has reached for the blue portal will receive the same exact reward."

"Is it?" Ji Yuan laughed. "Well, that is great. Even though my reward isn't that rare but at least I can communicate with my women daily with this Mirror of Telepathy."

"You can only use it for free only once. If you want to use it again, you have to burn one million high grades spirit stones to use it again."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

"What?! Only one free use?" Ji Yuan was stunned. "And how long does the communication lasts?"

"It depends on the distance. Usually it is ten minutes if you are outside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth."

Ji Yuan was stunned. "Ten minutes…this is way too short…"

"If you use it inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, it will last less than three minutes."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

"And this costs one million high grade spirit stones to recharge?!" Ji Yuan was completely rendered speechless. "This is too ridiculous. Do you think that I am a rich cultivator? Are you expecting me to rob or steal to recharge this stupid mirror?!"

But the dark robe ferryman refused to answer him.

With a soft sigh, Ji Yuan approached the two tables and saw that the two Mirrors of Telepathy were nearly identical except for its size.

"Huh? Are they different or what?" Ji Yuan muttered.

He saw that one of the mirrors was handy enough to hold it in his palm while the larger mirror was twice as big and it was difficult to hold.

"They are identical in properties except for the size." The dark robe ferryman answered him.

Ji Yuan was amused.

He reached out for the smaller mirror naturally because he could hold it firmly in an emergency. The larger mirror was useless to him because he could carelessly break it in an emergency. So he was not too foolish to pick the larger one.

He was not exactly vain and he was sure that everyone else would also pick the smaller mirrors.

This was a no brainer decision.

Xiang Li was urging him inside his soul sea. "Big Brother, why don't you pick the bigger mirror? It looks better!"

Ji Yuan laughed. "Bigger is not necessary better. This will do."

"Bigger is not better?" Xiang Li asked curiously.

But Ji Yuan ignored her as he picked up the smaller mirror and he had opened the door of the white room.

"Xiang Li, we are going to the next level now. Are you excited?" Ji Yuan laughed.

Xiang Li said with a melancholy tone. "No. Because my sisters are all not around now."

Ji Yuan frowned. "We will surely see them soon enough. Don't worry."

There was a sudden bright light and Ji Yuan soon found himself standing on a cliff and he was overlooking several beautiful mountain peaks and there were forests everywhere.

Ji Yuan gasped softly at the beautiful sight.

"Look Xiang Li. Isn't it beautiful? It seems that we are on the second level now."

But Xiang Li sobbed. "It isn't fun anymore."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

"Big Brother, I'm so sad." Xiang Li continued to mutter almost inconsolably.

Ji Yuan tried to cheer Xiang Li up so he shouted over his top. "We are going to chase the beautiful maidens of this level. With my women not around here to disturb us, we are going to bang all the beautiful skirts. Haha."

But Xiang Li continued to be disinterested and she was sighing heavily.

It really hurt Ji Yuan's heart to hear her sorrowful sighs.

Just as he was about to comfort Xiang Li again, a beautiful voice said coldly. "Ji Yuan, what did you say just now?"

Ji Yuan was startled as he quickly recognized the familiar voice; it was Feiyue!

He quickly looked up and saw a white skirt beautiful maiden standing more than three hundred yards above him. She was indeed Ling Feiyue!

"Feiyue, it is really you?! Haha." Ji Yuan was overjoyed to see Ling Feiyue again.

Xiang Li was now clapping her hands. "Sister Feiyue is really here! Woah, Xiang Li is so happy!"

The reason why Ji Yuan did not detect Ling Feiyue was because she was standing more than 300 yards away and beyond his divine sense to detect.

Just as he was about to leap to Feiyue, he heard several cold coughs around him.

With an astonished look, he was startled to see Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi and even Feng Minyue appearing all around him; everyone was more than three hundred yards apart around the cliffs and they all had an astonished look.

They had all met again so soon!

Ji Yuan turned to ask Xiang Li. "Um, you didn't do anything, am I right?"

Xiang Li laughed as she was too happy to see them again. "Of course not. Now Xiang Li is happy again."

Ji Yuan inspected Xiang Li and saw that she did not become younger.

He was secretly relieved but at the same time, he was thinking. "Xiang Li's powers are too OP…don't tell me it has a lasting effect?"

All the maidens had gathered around Ji Yuan, including Feng Minyue.

"Um, we have all met again?"

Feng Minyue muttered with a perplexed look. "What is going on? Are we really on the second level now?"

Shui Xisi took a look around and said. "We are indeed on the second level. The spiritual force here is much stronger. If we are on the first level then the spiritual aura won't be this strong."

Bai Qianfeng nodded as she agreed.

Ji Yuan was stunned when he saw Feng Minyue again.

He muttered in his soul sea to Xiang Li. "Erm, how come Maiden Feng Minyue is here?"

Xiang Li chuckled with great delight. "That is because she likes you! That's why!"

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

"Don't talk rubbish…"

All of a sudden Ji Yuan was interrupted by many kicks and slaps as all the maidens except for Feng Minyue began to question him. "Ji Yuan! My lord! What did you say earlier? You're going to go after all the beautiful maidens on this level?!"

Crap! Ji Yuan was stunned. He had forgotten about this; he was only trying to cheer Xiang Li…

Xiang Li…you have screwed me up this time…

"Wait, wait! Hear me out first!" Ji Yuan began to protest weakly. "I know that you're all in the vicinity so I am just trying to lure all of you out. And it works!"

"Is it true?"

"Don't believe him…"

"He is lying…"

Ji Yuan laughed. "Of course it is true. If I do not know that you are nearby, will I have the courage to shout like this? It is only a prank! A tease! A joke! Haha."

"Really?!"

"Did we really wrong Ji Yuan?"

"I think so…"

"He doesn't have the guts…"

"So it is only a joke?" Shui Xisi asked curiously.

Ji Yuan laughed as he quickly tried to change the topic by taking out the Mirror of Telepathy. "This is my trial reward. What about everyone else?"

All the maidens, including Feng Minyue began to take out their Mirror of Telepathy.

All of a sudden Ji Yuan noticed something that rendered him speechless; all the maidens had taken the bigger Mirror of Telepathy…

What the heck…

Then he noticed that Qianfeng and Sisi were smiling as they viewed themselves with the mirrors and they were quickly followed by the rest. Even Feng Minyue was no exception.

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Xiang Li giggled. "Big Brother, why are they all taking the bigger mirrors? Didn't you say that big isn't better?"

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …
