The Romantic Cultivator - Chapter 1238: The Mysterious Island (1)

?There were numerous pink and red rock formations all around the place.

In front of Ji Yuan was an ocean of lava and there were many large islands that could be seen by him and Shui Xisi.

Since they had no idea where to go in order to find the entrance of the Nine Abyss Realms, they decided to take a look at one of the biggest islands that had many gigantic mushrooms on it.

As Ji Yuan flew with Shui Xisi across the ocean of lava, he chuckled to her. “Sisi, do you think that a gigantic profound beast would suddenly jump out of the lava to eat us as we hover above it?”

Shui Xisi: …

She muttered, “I shouldn’t have listened to you in the first place. Maybe we ought to explore the dry interior instead of coming in this direction. The smouldering smoke in this place is really too suffocating and it even impair my divine sense.”

Ji Yuan grinned, “You got a 9th realm half-immortal guide here. Hahaha. Just follow me. If there is anything danger to be seen, I will protect you.”

Shui Xisi rolled her golden eyes as she murmured, “Not too long ago, I was the one that was protecting you.”

That not too long ago was when they were in the Spiritas Tower and Shui Xisi had even found a Dao Fruit for Ji Yuan to consume.

Ji Yuan laughed at her remarks and he felt great that he got to protect Shui Xisi.

Actually, there was nothing below the lava and therefore they were in no dangers from any profound beasts.

Ji Yuan was only teasing her since his divine sense was not impaired by the thick desolate aura in this place or by the smog below them.

They soon hoard of profound beasts on the island and were startled and there were many 7th rank profound beasts among them, making them dangerous.

Luckily, they couldn’t fly and they had just roared at Ji Yuan and Shui Xisi in a threatening manner to warn them off from the spirit plants that they were protecting.

“How the heck did these desolate beasts get into the islands?” Ji Yuan was amazed.

Shui Xisi said, “Either they are already there before the ocean of lava appeared or they can swim across the lava.”

Ji Yuan gulped at the ocean of lava, “You got to be kidding me, right? The lava here can even melt divine swords.”

Shui Xisi laughed, “Not your immortal divine swords though. But anything below a saintly divine sword is possible.”

Ji Yuan had suddenly thought of a curious question, “I wonder how do these weapon smiths forge a divine sword?”

Shui Xisi rolled her golden eyes as she thought: Do you have to ask me such a low level question when you are a high level cultivator?

But she quickly explained, “Well, powerful divine swords such as a saintly divine sword can only be forged in the Nine Heavens with the Heavens Fire. But even then, it is hard to obtain. As for true immortal swords, most of them aren’t forged and they are birthed by the heavens and the earth.”

Ji Yuan nodded, “Just like my immortal scabbard and my true divinity sword.”

“That’s right.” Shui Xisi answered him, “They are the true profound treasures of the heavens and the earth. Even an immortal will be coveting for your two profound treasures.”

Then she smiled, “As for the Golden Natal Divine Pearl, it is a true divinity profound treasure that even the immortals will want to obtain to increase their cultivation but you have actually absorbed it.”

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, “That’s too bad for them because this is a gift from my master the Old Reverend Beiyuan to me. Haha…”

Shui Xisi smiled, “Indeed it is too bad for them and that is why you have amalgamated the Golden Natal Divine Pearl now.”

Then she thought of something that was related to this, “So, what did my papa the Great God Pangu says to you? Did he give you anything?”

Ji Yuan laughed loudly, “Sisi, you won’t believe it. The Great God Pangu has actually imparted to me his Golden Invincible Force. Under the heavens of the Celestial Realm, I am now invincible.”

Then he grinned playfully to her, “And you won’t believe how silly your papa is. He has actually thought of lending me his Golden Invincible Force but later, he has found out that he cannot take it back because I have absorbed it. Haha…”

Shui Xisi was also smiling wryly, “Is that so?”

She was thinking with a wry smile and trying to suppress her laughter: Why don’t you say that the Great God Pangu knows that you have no internal profound art and that is why you are able to absorb his Golden Invincible Force? You didn’t know that I had told my papa all about you, am I right? And that he has purposely imparted his Golden Invincible Force to you?

She asked on purpose, “So what do you think of the Great God Pangu?”

Ji Yuan grinned, “Well, I was so shocked when I had learnt that he is the Great God Pangu. It is actually quite astonishing that I am able to talk to a True God of the Celestial Realm just like this. He didn’t have any airs. He isn’t quite the Great God Pangu that I had imagined previously. Your mother consort is pretty beautiful though… hehe…”

“You have better don’t have any funny ideas on my mother consort or she will sunder you into many parts and scattered your remains throughout the Celestial Realm.” Shui Xisi reminded him.

“Oh. Hahaha…” But Ji Yuan just laughed jovially.

Then he quickly said, “I bet that the Great God Pangu is still feeling sour over the loss of his Golden Invincible Force now. I hope that he will quickly get over his disappointment. It isn’t my fault that I am able to absorb his Golden Invincible Force. Do you agree with me?”

Shui Xisi simply smiled but she was thinking in her heart: Silly, my papa has already accepted you as his disciple in his heart. He is only playing with you. One of these days, you will die without knowing why.

But she decided not to tell Ji Yuan because he had been too inflated with his ego ever since his victory over the Great Demon God.

Ji Yuan had suddenly said, “Look. There is a clearing among the towering mushrooms there. Maybe we can land there. I don’t see any desolate beasts in that vicinity. Also, there is a mountain there too and there are many caves. Maybe we can try our luck there.”

Shui Xisi answered Ji Yuan, “Alright. Let’s go then.”

And they were soon speeding in the direction that Ji Yuan had pointed out.
