The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 673 Room 31 (1)


Ji Yuan was now tasked to solve Room 26, taking the place of Old Reverend Beiyuan to do so. 

Not only Room 26 but all the other rooms as well. 

The only thing that Old Reverend Beiyuan and Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing needed to do was to take turn to check the portals. That is, if they did not encounter any guardians at all. 

Ji Yuan naturally did not dare to take his time because he was most afraid of encountering the guardians and the two God Immortals had told them that the longer that he took to solve the hints from the dome’s canvas imageries, then the risk of encountering the guardians would be much higher. 

Also the canvas imageries had become more and more lifelike as well and it was like a hologram instead; the canvas imageries had evolved to the point of it being animated and it was watching the True Devil God and the Great Beyond Goddess in action. 

Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng were even more excited and were intrigued by the canvas imageries.

Even Shui Xisi, the Lovely Empress, Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng were impressed by Ji Yuan’s ability to get them to the right portals. 

As for Ji Yuan, he had to suck his thumb and embarked on solving the canvas imageries to get to the next room, all in the name of being called the ‘Genius of all the geniuses’.

All in all, Ji Yuan took about 4 days before they were finally in Room 31 now.

The reason why they had taken 4 days to solve the next 5 rooms were not because Ji Yuan had told the two God Immortals the wrong answers.

He had been right in his deductions and this had actually impressed the Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing and Old Reverend Beiyuan so much that they were now respectful to him in their attitudes; Gone was their usual lofty attitude towards him.

The main issue why they were slowing down was because the wait between the intervals from the Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing and Old Reverend Beiyuan were now getting longer as well; they were both looking extremely fatigued and none of them had actually guessed the right portal in the next room before returning to group with Ji Yuan again. 

Also, the canvas imageries were getting harder for Ji Yuan to decipher and he had to spend several hours to ponder it over. 

Of course, he had also received a no thanks from Xiang Li’s side as she tried to guess the right portal and was wrong. 

He could only mutter weakly to her: Thanks, but no thanks Xiang Li. You’re completely useless. 

Now that they were in Room 31 now, Old Reverend Beiyuan solemnly said to him. “After Room 30, the imageries here will get more erratic and it will be even more difficult to get to the right portal. Previously, my junior sister and I didn’t get past Room 32 and the year is quickly up.”

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing nodded and she was looking really pale; it was because for the past several days, they had been expending all their profound strength to open the gates of the Goddess Star Palace as well as taking punishments for their failures. 

Even though Ji Yuan and his group had not seen them taking any divine pills but Ji Yuan could tell that they had actually consumed out of sight from them; it was because their profound animus were considerably weaker now. 

And when Ji Yuan was deciphering the canvas imageries, the two God Immortals were quietly meditating to regain their profound strength. 

Even the usual imp-like Old Reverend Beiyuan was unusually quiet as he retreated into his meditation almost immediately.

Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress did not want to disturb Ji Yuan as he deciphered the canvas imageries as this concerned everyone’s life and death, so they decided to cultivate instead by following the footsteps of Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng. 

It was kind of eerie quiet for Ji Yuan even though he was in a group of 6 others, minus noisy Xiang Li and Anyang of course. 

But this was something that he had been tasked to do. 

So, he looked up to the canvas imagery on the dome and tried to do his very best. 

In this canvas imagery, the Great Beyond Goddess was fighting the True Devil God in an inertia barrier and the misty golden eyes of the Great Beyond Goddess seemed to be shimmering. 

It seemed to Ji Yuan that the Great Beyond Goddess seemed to have trapped the True Devil God in an immortal formation and that the final hour of victory was now here. That explained the shimmering in the misty golden eyes of the Great Beyond Goddess and the awkward look that seemed to have come from the True Devil God. 

Naturally this was Ji Yuan’s guess since the Great Beyond Goddess was veiled and the True Devil God was masked.  𝔫𝑜𝑣𝖾𝓛𝒏𝞮xt.𝑐𝑶𝐦

In order to validate this conclusion, he had to observe the moving canvas imageries first as they fought against each other and he did not know how long this would take. 

Xiang Li had suddenly chuckled to Ji Yuan: Big Brother, I have an idea for you. Do you want to listen?

Ji Yuan: ???

Fairy Anyang: ???

Xiang Li seemed truly proud of this great idea of hers as she giggled with great delight: Why don’t we lie to them about the right portal? With only a day or so left before we can exit this place to claim our trial rewards, it is alright to guess incorrectly for once or twice. I doubt that they have much profound strength left. Heeheee…

Ji Yuan frowned back: Xiang Li, we are not going to make the incorrect guess. I am going to solve the mystery of this room instead.

Xiang Li was surprised: Huh? Isn’t this your plan to delay as much as possible until the 7 days are up?

Ji Yuan frowned most unhappily: You are outdated. Now, I am going to do my best.

Xiang Li blinked her eyes: ??? 

She asked curiously: We are going to help them? When did you change your mind about helping them?

Ji Yuan frowned: Of course we will try to help them. And I’ve already changed my mind some time ago. Don’t you know?

Xiang Li muttered weakly: Erm, I don’t?

Fairy Anyang patted Xiang Li softly and giggled: Our lord has decided to help them when the two God Immortals have called him the ‘Genius of all the Geniuses’. That maybe our lord’s new immortal title now and this fits his big ego.

Ji Yuan protested weakly and he looked awkward: Anyang, you can eat the wrong foods but you can’t say the wrong words! What big ego? I don’t have any ego at all. Hahaha…

Fairy Anyang, Xiang Li: …

Fairy Anyang, Xiang Li: …

Fairy Anyang, Xiang Li: …
