The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 1237 The Bottom of the Desolate Mist

?All Ji Yuan could see was a blue light that overwhelmed him and Shui Xisi before he could feel the distortions in the space around him.

In the next instant, he could feel that he was being pulled apart by the powerful profound force and there was a feeling of nausea.

However, this feeling did not last long and he was startled to see that he was now being surrounded by pink rock formations all around him.

The heavens above him were dark and he should be below the desolate mists now.

Shui Xisi had also appeared next to him and she was inhaling heavily as she muttered, "I feel dizzy. Ji Yuan, how about you?"

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, "I feel perfectly fine."

Then he said with a look of concern, "DO you want to take a rest first?"

Shui Xisi shook her head, "I'll be fine after a while. This teleportation is too rough. Worse than inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth."

Ji Yuan laughed, "I thought it is just me that find it uncomfortable. So it isn't just me that feels nausea, haha…"

Although Ji Yuan was nausea earlier but he had quickly regained his orientation and sense of balance.

Shui Xisi smiled weakly to him, "Do you mind giving me a helping hand and let me vomit on you?"

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, "I actually mind, you know…"

All of a sudden, Shui Xisi had pulled him to her and then she was kissing him passionately on his lips.

Ji Yuan responded by groping Shui Xisi's body and feeling all over her, from her slim body to her butt and inside her short skirt.

Shui Xisi began to inhale softly as Ji Yuan was moving his hands into her panties, "You little rascal, we should stop now. We are in hostile territory. What if there are others who are watching us in this place?"

Ji Yuan laughed softly, "Well, you have aroused me first."

Shui Xisi chuckled shyly as she pulled herself away from Ji Yuan as she took a look around her surroundings, "Well, I have recovered now. Thanks to your awful breath."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Shui Xisi smiled as she asked him, "What do you know about the Nine Abyss Realms? Do you know why you are here?"

Ji Yuan said, "I only know that I am supposed to find a Divine Philosopher Stone in the Nine Abyss Realms. Even the Great God Pangu cannot send me directly there and we are supposed to find an entrance inside from the numerous underground tunnels that are found below the desolate mists. Also, we must be wary of the Philosopher Goddess who is the divine ruler of the Nine Abyss Realms."

Shui Xisi nodded, "That's right. That's all?"

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Yeah. That's all. There is more to it?"

Shui Xisi nodded, "The Nine Abyss Realms is also the only place where the dark celestials are able to avoid the Dark Descendant and ascended to be an immortal. Therefore, we will also be meeting lots of nasty dark celestial cultivators in the Nine Abyss Realms."

Ji Yuan was startled, "The Nine Abyssal Realms is a place where the dark celestials are able to ascend as an immortal?"

Shui Xisi nodded, "Normally, one must have a pure cultivation in order to ascend as an immortal or they won't survive the heavenly wrath. Although there are many dark celestials in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity such as the five unorthodox holy lands but actually very few of them are the dark heretic cultivators that practiced the dark forbidden arts such as the dark alchemy and other evil profound arts. It is because they would find it hard to ascend to the Nine Heavens even if they are peaked great saints. The only time that these evil cultivators are able to ascend to the Nine Heavens is during the times of trouble such as the Dark Descendant where the balance of good and evil are reversed."

Ji Yuan nodded.

He had heard of the terrifying Dark Descendant and he was glad that it did not happen during his lifetime.

It was because during the Heavenly Wrath known as the Dark Descendant, celestials must kill celestials in order to avert this dark calamity to restore the balance between good and evil.

Much of the Dark Descendant was actually recorded in the Investiture of the Gods, a known celestial mythology book.

The last Dark Descendant was actually prevented by the Nine Celestial Goddess Ye Jing and the Great Heroine Fan Yuqing. That was the reason why Ye Jing was known as the Nine Celestial Goddess. This was actually an immortal title that was given to her by the Great Goddess Fan Tian and the Great God Pangu.

That is also why Ye Jing is also known as the Great Heroine.

Aiding her was Fan Yuqing and because of her aid to avert the Dark Descendant, she is also known as the Great Heroine.

They managed to avert the Dark Descendant by forcing the descend of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth to the Celestial Realm every 500 years so that the celestials from the Celestial Realm can fight inside and reducing the number of golden celestials in the Celestial Realm.

Of course, they can only postpone the terrifying Dark Descendant but this was good enough.

Ji Yuan had read that the Great God Pangu had once killed many of his friends, including his maidens during the Dark Descendant so that he may live through it.

During the Dark Descendant, all the cultivators must kill at least 7 cultivators of the same realm or above cultivators or they would all die.

At the same time, they would be able to gain some of the cultivation attainment of the cultivators that they had killed.

Naturally the Dark Descendant is a period where the dark celestials actually welcome its arrival so that they could ascend to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Most cultivators during the Dark Descendant won't stop killing at 7 because once they could reach the peak sacred saint level, they would ascend to the Nine Heavens immediately and the chances for it is 100%.

There are many stories of even the most orthodox cultivators becoming an evil cultivator, killing even their own family and clan in order to ascend to be a true immortal.

Even though the Nine Celestial Goddess Ye Jing is from the Nine Celestial Fraternity, Ji Yuan had long heard of her renown as she is the savior of the Celestial Realm and there are few cultivators that did not know of the renown of the Nine Celestial Goddess Ye Jing.

That is the reason why Ji Yuan was so excited when he saw Ye Jing back in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth even though he did not know that she was merely an avatar doll that was created by the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu.

At one point of time, every male cultivator had fantasized being with the Nine Celestial Goddess Ye Jing or Great Heroine Fan Yuqing and Ji Yuan was not an exception.

Shui Xisi said to Ji Yuan as she interrupted his thoughts, "The Nine Abyss Realms is where the dark celestials are able to ascend to the Nine Heavens every 100 years. However, because it is only limit to only 5 every 100 years, the dark celestials there will all be fighting hotly over the 5 positions. As for the exact details, I do not know. It is for us to find out."

Ji Yuan nodded, "Well, we are not contesting with them anyway. Hahaha… moreover, the two of us should be stronger than them, right?"

Shui Xisi frowned, "They are dark celestials. Do you think that they have martial honor? That is why I am here to watch over you."

Ji Yuan muttered almost incoherently to himself, "I am more worried for you…"

"What did you just say?" Shui Xisi asked him.

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Nothing. Hahaha…"

He quickly said, "I was just thinking that the opposite thing should happen to the Dark Abyssal Realm or other dark heavenly realms."

Shui Xisi smiled, "That's right. Smart."

Ji Yuan laughed weakly as he had randomly cooked up with an excuse.

Then he jumped up to a pink rock above to take a better look at his surroundings.

All of a sudden he was suddenly gasping, "Sisi, look!"

Shui Xisi jumped next to him and she was also gasping softly too.

It was because in front of them was a vast ocean of thick flowing lava and there were many large 'islands' on it.

Ji Yuan said with a look of awe, "It's no wonder why I thought that this place is hot."

Then he grinned, "Wanna start by exploring these islands first?"
