The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 373 Into The Fallen Gods City (1)

When Ji Yuan returned to his own campsite, he was carrying a brooding look on him.

This is only a one night stand?!

His ego was bruised very badly and badly shaken.

"Ji Yuan, you're back. Can you explain about this grey panties!" Ling Feiyue, Little Princess and Shui Xisi said at the same time.

Little Princess took a look at Shui Xisi, "You claim to have nothing to do with him, why are you so excited for?"

Shui Xisi chuckled, "I am erm…only…trying to help you all to punish an unfaithful rogue like him."

Ji Yuan suddenly had a startled smile on his face as he rushed forward to pick the grey panties from Ling Feiyue, "Thank you, this is mine."

"This is yours?! You've got a fetish or what? This is obviously a maiden's panties!" All the maidens gasped at almost the same time with great disbelief.

Then Ji Yuan muttered almost absent-minded, "It is all over now. I'm doomed now."

With a great sigh, he began to walk away with great sorrow.

All the maidens were startled for they had never seen Ji Yuan in this manner before.

Usually a man will be like this if they have suffered a crushing defeat by their cultivation opponents and have lost everything.

And now, Ji Yuan was displaying such a symptom.

Yu Jingjing slowly said as she watched Ji Yuan disappeared into the darkness, "What happens to Ji Yuan? He seems very lost from beginning until now…"

"He even claims that this panties is his. He didn't even deny it this time." Ling Feiyue was in disbelief.

Little Princess gasped all of a sudden, "He had that exact same look before. I remember it now?"

All the rest of the maidens: ???

"300 years ago when I've met him for the very first time, he was like this too…"

The other maidens were all gasping; these past few days together they had all been sharing gossips about Ji Yuan's past.

So they all knew that Ji Yuan had a sad breakup in the past.

Yu Jingjing suddenly gasped, "You know sisters. My sect had treated many cultivators in the past. When they have received a major setback or under great pressure, they will also become like this."

Ling Feiyue was gasping too, "I've heard of this as well. They may even develop a fetish like Ji Yuan is having now."

Little Princess was nodding as well, "I too have heard of this symptom. The pressure of the Death God Mingwang is affecting him too much."

Bai Qianfeng sighed with woeful eyes, "We all know that Ji Yuan doesn't like to be green. He must be in this condition because of me…"

"Yes." Feng Minyue nodded, "I've already noticed that something is already amiss that day when the Death God Mingwang had appeared and was looking at Sister Qianfeng with a strange look. Ji Yuan must have already sensed something is wrong and that is the start of his depression."

Shui Xisi sighed, "We really shouldn't have mentioned the Death God Mingwang in front of him earlier…"

"Everyone has their own fears. The Death God Mingwang is simply too strong." Bai Qianfeng said weakly. "That is why Ji Yuan is like this."

Shui Xisi muttered, "So he is not having an affair?"

Ling Feiyue said solemnly, "Obviously he isn't. You will know him one day soon. Do you really think that he has the mood to have an affair with such a depressing mood?"

Shui Xisi said weakly, "At first I've suspected it may be that Maiden Yun Chi."

Little Princess shook her head, "Trust me. It won't be Yun Chi. She is too lofty and sure of herself. Even if you give Ji Yuan a million years, he is incapable of even succeeding in wooing her. I can tell that this Yun Chi is not someone who can be easily touched."

"How do you know?" Shui Xisi asked.

"From the way she confronted death in a cold manner." Little Princess said. "I've been observing her since the very start. Do you know that she can even smile when people are killed in front of her?"

Ling Feiyue nodded, "I agree as well. Moreover, that Maiden Yun Chi is constantly surrounded by Xiao Muhan and so many men for the past two days. And our lord Ji Yuan is also by our side. So we can rule her out."

"So we can safely say that Ji Yuan is now suffering from a great depression. What shall we do to help him?" Yu Jingjing asked.

Ling Feiyue sighed, "Never mention the name of the Death God Mingwang in his presence for the time being, unless it is absolutely necessary."

Yu Jingjing nodded weakly, "I wish I was able to pay more attention to him in the past couple of days."

"It isn't your fault. Men are great in hiding their emotions until it is too late. We've all missed it as well." Little Princess sighed.

The next day, all the maidens pretended that nothing had happened last night and instead, they were all trying to be even nicer to Ji Yuan so as to comfort him, hoping to lift him up of his depression.

The Green Faction was now passing through the imposing gates of the Fallen Gods City.

By the early morning, Ji Yuan had more or less recovered from his depression as he watched Yun Chi's from afar.

Seeing her again, aroused his spirits again.

Especially when she said to all the cultivators, "We shall all move as a single group."

Ji Yuan stared in awe of the imposing gates that stood hundreds of meters tall and was stunned.

Even the entrance was a good hundred meters wide.

Ji Yuan felt like he was like a tiny ant even in the busiest trading city of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity.

Half of the cultivators were also first timers and they were all gasping with astonishment.

Yun Chi explained quickly, "There are actually more than one gates inside. Depending on which direction the factions are coming from in the Greed Island, they will be at the different gates. So we probably won't be sharing the same gate. Moreover I've checked the vicinity and have found no sight of any other cultivators."

After she had said that, they had entered through the huge gate that was actually a towering shimmering portal.

The interiors of the Fallen Gods City completely overwhelmed Ji Yuan and many of the first time cultivators as they slowly emerged from the shimmering portal into a platform that was surrounded by a shimmering dark invisible wall.

They were standing on a platform on top of a pyramid that was around 30m in height. While this was high enough but they were surrounded by thousands of concrete buildings that were hundreds of meters tall.

And these concrete buildings were hundreds of meters wide as well and the city streets below were 40m wide.

It was extremely orderly except that the concrete buildings were in a bad state with broken structures and a bad state of disrepair.

Many of the cultivators had never seen such imposing buildings and it was as though only the gods can build such a thing.

But seeing is believing since it really exists and the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth actually descended from the Immortal Realm.

But this was not the most shocking thing that caught their eyes.

Hundreds of gigantic high level desolate monsters were walking on the streets below or flying above them.

Many of the cultivators were gasping with shock;

"Seventh rank desolate monsters…"

"Eighth rank desolate monsters…"

"Ninth rank desolate monsters…"

"Even epic seventh, eighth, ninth desolate monsters…"

"Is that an immortal class desolate monster over there?!"

Yun Chi charmingly smiled to all the cultivators, "Welcome to Fallen Gods City, Greed Island most forbidden place."

Even for Ji Yuan, he was stunned silly as he turned to stare at Xiao Muhan. "What the heck?! Why didn't you tell me this place is so freaking dangerous?!"

Xiao Muhan stroked his long beard as he coolly replied, "This is an S Rank Trial. Surely it is within your expectations."

Then he added wryly, "I was tricked by the cultivators who had exited Greed Island with their Escape Talisman to enter the Red Mansion. Why do you think I am here with all of you now?"

Many of the cultivators presented were actually tricked into entering the Red Mansion by the cultivators that had previously entered the Red Mansion who had described to them many fantastic profound treasures inside and that the real trial was actually inside the Red Mansion.

Ji Yuan had suddenly recalled seeing hundreds of cultivators that were meditating outside the trial and yet none of them was willing to offer him any advice or even talk to him.

The cultivators in the Red Mansion that had experienced the trial of the Greed Island know how hard it is to complete the trial. Therefore they need a lot of cannon fodders.

If these cultivators tell anyone that has not been to Greed Island that there are ninth rank desolate monsters, even eighth rank desolate monsters, many of the cultivators will actually give up on this trial.

No one wants to take a risk of fighting a beyond divinity desolate monster.

Moreover there were thousands of them all over the city.

Many of the cultivators were sighing and some cultivators were even thinking of using the Escape Talisman immediately.

The profound skills on the black and red walls were actually there to entice the cultivators to stay while hoodwinking them the true nature of the trial.

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "Greed Island…Fallen Gods City…It's no wonder why we are given 3 Escape Talisman to use…So we are supposed to trick one another to come to Greed Island? Why all these trouble?"

Bai Qianfeng answered him, "It is not only that. It is to entice the cultivators into thinking that there are even miracle profound arts on Greed Island too so they won't quit the trial."

Xiao Muhan nodded, "Indeed there are many wondrous profound treasures here. There are even miracle spirit herbs here for the lucky cultivators."

Ji Yuan nodded before he said to the cultivators, "Well…since we're already here, we ought to take the trial. I see there are also many low level desolate monsters around as well. We just be careful and creep around like ants so that we won't attract the attention of these high level desolate monsters."

Then he added, "You're all the sons and daughters of the heavens. Surely you aren't afraid to take a challenge am I right?"

Ji Yuan didn't need to say this. Most of the cultivators actually will not quit the trial even though they are afraid; they have already made it so far to quit halfway.

But Ji Yuan's words were assuring and had re-ignited their courage.

Yes! They are all the sons and daughters of the heavens!

But all of a sudden their morale plummets when Ji Yuan sarcastically added. "Remember to protect me. I'm Number 404."

Ji Yuan is their strongest cultivator here, if not one of the strongest cultivators and they found it laudable that they have to protect him.
