My Informative Cultivation Life

"The Battlefield of Inheritances offers endless benefits; all the great geniuses will enter to compete for fortuitous opportunities."

"You have been cultivating for over six hundred years, and the Battlefield of Inheritances only opened recently. It won't open again for another three hundred years, by which time you will be over nine hundred years old. If you wait another three hundred years, you will be over twelve hundred years old, and your life's end will be nearing."

"By then, you will have no choice but to breakthrough to Divinity Transformation and enter the Battlefield of Inheritances."

"Do you plan to take the assessment in three hundred years or wait six hundred years to do so?"

Bai Bi asked.

"The prestige of ascending to the Immortal Realm as the top inheritor, joining the Celestial Court, and obtaining a position in the sequence for major grooming? This is the first time I've heard such a claim. From what you say, these benefits are truly considerable.

For the sake of prudence, I'll accumulate some foundation and enter the Battlefield of Inheritances six hundred years later," Yang Ji contemplated.

"Indeed, that would be more prudent!" Bai Bi nodded, fixing her gaze on Yang Ji, "Looking at you, do you really think you stand a chance? You'll be facing numerous geniuses from the Three Thousand Great Realms and the Infinite Minor Realms."

"Not all geniuses from the Three Thousand Great Realms and the Infinite Minor Realms will be gathered in that one assessment; I think there should still be some opportunity," Yang Ji said with a slight smile.

"You sly fellow, all secretive." Bai Bi glanced at him and said, "Anyway, what are you doing mingling with the Heavenly Demons? Is it a task assigned by your Sect?"

"Not exactly, I found myself mixed up with the Heavenly Demon Sect by chance, and now I'm even playing the role of a commander, which isn't too bad," Yang Ji said with a slight smile, sipping his tea.

"The movements of the Heavenly Demon Sect suggests that a storm is brewing—a somber outlook, clearly indicating they're harboring a grand conspiracy against the Taichu World. You're not gathering intelligence, are you?" Bai Bi speculated.

"What kind of intelligence could a pawn like me gather? Don't speculate wildly," Yang Ji chuckled.

"Alright, I won't pry further. I'll wait a few more hundred years. But you'd better be quick. It would be a huge loss if my life's end approached, I was on the verge of a breakthrough, and I still hadn't reaped the benefits of the Immortal Mansion. If I fail to overcome the Dao Calamity, I'll come to settle the score with you!" Bai Bi huffed prettily.

"Okay, okay, I've got it," Yang Ji replied with a laugh, although his response was very serious.

"Good, that's more like it. I won't bother you any longer; I'm leaving now." Bai Bi was decisive in action. She stood up and left the room, exiting the pavilion.

Shortly after she left, ripples like those of water began to emanate in front of Yang Ji. The space was then torn open by a pair of large hands, and a figure stepped through.

Yang Ji was startled and prepared to call for Lang Canghai, but he relaxed when he saw that the visitor was Mu Yuan, the Great Sage.

"Great Sage!" he called out.

"Yang Ji, here's something for you." Mu Yuan, the Great Sage, smiled slightly and handed him a clump of Origin of Demonic Qi, "During the attack on the Heavenly Demon Sect, I managed to slay the Eight Head Demon Emperors amidst the chaos; this is their origin. Take it and refine it into Primordial Spirit Fruits to enhance the strength of your Primordial Spirit."

"Thank you, Great Sage!" Yang Ji was overjoyed and, without being overly ceremonious, reached out and took it. With this clump of Demonic Qi, he estimated it would be enough for him to achieve a Tribulation Immortal Primordial Spirit. Then, he would truly become an anomaly.

By then, wielding the Ultimate Nightmare and Yin Yang Separation at Dawn, he estimated he could even slay Void Refining, and perhaps even Fushion Experts.

"Also, I'm here to tell you something. Chang Xiao absorbed the Primordial Spirit Fruit you gave him, achieved an Immortal Primordial Spirit, and has now entered the Battlefield of Inheritances to take the test for true inheritance," conveyed Mu Yuan, the Great Sage.

"Senior brother has taken the test for true inheritance? Is he not accumulating more foundation?" Yang Ji uttered, moved.

"Chang Xiao has been cultivating in a place in the Minor Immortal Realm where time flows differently than in the outside world. Although it seems like he's only been cultivating for over six hundred years, he has actually cultivated for over a thousand years. If he continues to accumulate foundation, his end may draw near," chuckled Mu Yuan, the Great Sage.

"With Chang Xiao's foundation, becoming a true inheritor is a piece of cake. As concerns becoming the top inheritor, that's a matter of luck."

"I see!" Yang Ji said, as if realizing something. His expression turned solemn, and he added to Mu Yuan, the Great Sage, "By the way, Great Sage, when you all attacked the Heavenly Demon Sect, there were actually five additional Demon Lords who didn't take action. They are hidden in alternate space-time.

This information was obtained through communication with the Taichu Divine Tree within the Heavenly Demon Sect by Shen Yin."

"Five more?" Mu Yuan, the Great Sage, his expression suddenly froze, and after a pause, he said, "Twenty thousand years ago, there were two Demon Lords inside the Heavenly Demon Sect. One, the Infernal Demon Lord, has already been ground to dust by me, but the other, Emperor Jun Demon Lord, did not act this time.

I knew the Heavenly Demon Sect surely had more hidden depths, but I didn't expect there to be as many as five."

"I just don't know if apart from Emperor Jun Demon Lord, whether the other four Demon Lords passed the Heavenly Tribulation normally. If they relied on the Taichu Divine Tree for help, that would be manageable, but if not, it would be more difficult."

"Considering the Heavenly Demon Sect's strength is already this formidable, and in alliance with other Heavenly Demon forces, their power is terrifying. And yet, they're still not taking action; what conspiracy they are brewing, I don't know."

"Our last attack against them was too easy, and after reflecting on it with Buddha-Demon, we both felt something was amiss. Even if there are five more Demon Lords inside the Heavenly Demon Sect, as you say, it still doesn't account for the unease Buddha-Demon and I feel. Could it be that the Heavenly Demon Sect still hides other capabilities? Or perhaps the number of Demon Lords exceeds sixteen?"

Great Sage Mu Yuan furrowed his brow, sensing an even greater crisis looming.

"That should be the only number! Shen Yin communicated with the Taichu Divine Tree before, and the number of people that the Heavenly Demon used for her Tribulation is only that much. It's impossible for dozens more to suddenly appear," Yang Ji pondered.

"If that's the case, it indeed makes one ponder deeply," Great Sage Mu Yuan spoke solemnly, his brow suddenly relaxing, "The Taichu World once thrived to the extreme because of the Taichu Divine Tree, giving birth to countless Dao lineages. Its strength was acknowledged as the first among the Three Thousand Great Realms. It's not easy for the Heavenly Demon to occupy this world."

"It seems that the Heavenly Demon Sect knew well about the strong foundation of the Taichu World and how many hidden forces it might contain, that's why they dare not act rashly to attack."

"The Heavenly Demon Sect sent a small portion of their forces to enter the Taichu World first, occupying the peripheral seas and eroding it step by step. Their actions seem secretive, but in the eyes of the powerful, they are undoubtedly exposed."

"I suspect this is done deliberately by the Heavenly Demon Sect, to draw out the hidden forces of the Taichu World," Great Sage Mu Yuan said with a flicker in his eyes.

"Does the Great Sage mean to say that the Heavenly Demon Sect is fishing?" Yang Ji's expression suddenly paused.

"Yes!" Great Sage Mu Yuan nodded, "You must be careful now. If you really draw out the hidden forces of the Taichu World and they kill you too, that would be bad."

Yang Ji felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this, not expecting such an underlying danger.

"Stay low-key and there should be no problem. As long as you don't touch the interests of those forces, they likely won't easily come into the world," Great Sage Mu Yuan advised.

"Thank you for the warning, Great Sage," Yang Ji nodded in appreciation.

"Be careful yourself. I need to go and make some careful calculations with Buddha-Demon!" said Great Sage Mu Yuan as he tore through space and quietly departed.

Yang Ji's gaze flickered slightly, and he too left the room, calling Lang Canghai along as they left Hundred Clouds Island.

Floating Luo Sea, a seabed trench.

Yang Ji returned once more to this secretive world of the Heavenly Demon, and within the main hall, he sat cross-legged, beginning his retreat to comprehend Divine Skills.

Time flies like an arrow.

One year.

Two years.

Three years.

...

In the blink of an eye, three hundred years had passed.

During this period, Yang Ji focused single-mindedly, fully committed to the comprehension of Divine Skills. Fate-Pointing Finger and Demon Heart Crossing both reached perfection one after another.

The rest of his Great Divine Powers also reached the stage of perfection.

Among them, Fate-Pointing Finger was extraordinarily mystical, even involving a strand of the Path of Destiny. The Dao Rune it condensed was the Destiny Pattern.

A single Destiny Pattern linked to the Power of Destiny could reduce someone's lifespan with just one pointer, truly horrifying beyond measure.

Mere a single Destiny Pattern, and yet it was enough to create a Supreme Divine Power. The Dao of Destiny was indeed too formidable.

Yang Ji immediately set his target. If he were to face the Dao Calamity, he would surely sever the Path of Destiny.

If he could obtain the Origin of the Dao of Destiny, perhaps he really would become invincible.
