My Informative Cultivation Life

"A barrier blocking the way?" Yang Ji frowned, leaped forward, and reached out to touch. Indeed, a semi-transparent barrier appeared like ripples on the water's surface, yet he couldn't pass through it.

"You want to come over? Wait until you ascend to the Demon Realm and become an Immortal Demon Sage," suddenly, a Demon Shadow flashed over, smiling at Yang Ji across the barrier.

"Demon Lord?" The one speaking to him was indeed an Immortal Demon Sage, equivalent to a Golden Immortal.

"Greetings, Lord Demon Lord," Yang Ji said with a bow.

"I too ascended from the Lower Realm's Heavenly Demon Sect, and after endless years, I've finally reached the realm of the Immortal Demon Sage and earned the right to enter the Treasure Vault to choose treasures," the Demon Lord opposite him said with another smile, seeing Yang Ji's courteous attitude, "Although the Lower Realm Demon Sect and the Devil Realm's Heavenly Demon Sect share a Treasury Vault, there are some treasures that those from the Lower Realm cannot take. You want the treasures in front of me? You'll need to become an Immortal Demon Sage first."

"Thank you for informing me, senior!" Yang Ji bowed again, feeling somewhat depressed in his heart, having not anticipated such a restriction.

However, he reasoned that it made sense because if people from the Lower Realm could take away all those supreme Demonic Artifacts, then even if the Heavenly Demon Sect were wealthy, it wouldn't have enough precious materials to forge them.

"With this Barrier in place, you can only choose treasures from the area on that side of the Barrier," the Immortal Demon Sage said.

"This junior understands!" Yang Ji nodded.

"Hmm!" The Immortal Demon Sage gave him a glance and then turned his head back toward that supreme Demonic Artifact.

Yang Ji also turned around, his back to the Barrier, and began to look over all the treasures before him.

Since the choices were so limited, he had to "pan for gold" from among the treasures to select the best ones.

His gaze swept inch by inch, and as his eyes landed on them, information about all the treasures surfaced.

Yang Ji carefully sifted through them.

Demonic Rune Steel, Soul Severing Jade, Nine Yin Spring Water, Myriad Dragon Scale Armor, Immortal Nether Soil, Styx Flower...

Various pieces of information kept appearing.

Suddenly, Yang Ji's eyes widened, his breathing quickening.

[Demon God Armor!]

It was a treasure armor of the lower Immortal Artifact level.

Right now, his gaze was fixed on the "Heart Guarding Mirror" in front of the armor, which was actually a [Wheel of Destiny Fragment!]

"Yang Ji, that looks like... a Wheel of Destiny Fragment?" The Rotting Wooden Box, true to its status as a Giant Immortal King, had seen a fragment of the Wheel of Destiny from Yang Ji before, and now, seeing the unusual look in Yang Ji's eyes, it took a closer look and immediately recognized what it was.

"That is indeed a Wheel of Destiny Fragment! This fragment cannot be refined; instead, it has been made into a Heart Guarding Mirror! What a tremendous stroke of fortune; to think I would encounter another piece here in the Treasure Vault of the Heavenly Demons. My calculations were not wrong; coming to the Heavenly Demon Sect this time really does hold destiny."

Without a moment's hesitation at that moment, Yang Ji reached out his large hand and grabbed the treasure armor before him.

"If there's one piece, there might be a second; don't rush to leave just yet. Keep looking and scan through every corner of the Treasury Vault."

Yang Ji was already of the same mind without the Rotting Wooden Box saying so.

He then concentrated, using his eagle-eyed gaze to sweep through every corner, taking in every single treasure and Medicine Pill at a glance.

Two hours passed, and Yang Ji had looked over the entire Treasure Vault, eventually stopping in front of one particular treasure.

This treasure was extraordinary; it turned out to be a thread of Qi.

This thread of Qi was only the size of a thumb, no longer than ten feet, and twisted in the air like a dragon or snake.

It had no color and was semi-transparent; if not for the Golden Finger, it would have been hard to detect it.

It was just such a thread of Qi that made Yang Ji stop in his tracks, his expression shifting indecisively, finding it difficult to choose.

"I didn't expect to find a thread of Primordial Qi in the Treasure Vault of the Heavenly Demons. Primordial Qi is the mother of all Qi, from which all Demonic Qi, Ghost Qi, Immortal Qi, Spiritual Energy, Battle Qi, Death Qi, and so on are derived. With this thread of Primordial Qi, it's enough to activate the 'Immortal Subduing Formation.' Unfortunately, this thread of Primordial Qi is still too small; if constantly activated, it would likely only last for two hours," the Rotting Wooden Box spoke slowly.

"So, with this strand of Primordial Qi, once I activate the 'Suppression Immortal' Formation, I could be invincible for two hours within the Lower Realm," Yang Ji stated solemnly.

"Yes! Why, do you want this strand of Primordial Qi?" the Rail Wooden Box asked.

"I do, but I will not give up on the Wheel of Destiny fragment!" Yang Ji said.

"A fragment of the Wheel of Destiny is a Destiny Treasure; of course you can't give it up. From the look of it, are you planning to use this strand of Primordial Qi to deal with the Great Tribulation of the Heavenly Demons?" the Rail Wooden Box said.

"Yes," Yang Ji, deep in thought, made a decision, "I have left a trace of the Power of Destiny on this magical armor. Whoever obtains it later on, through the six fragments of the Wheel of Destiny in my possession, I will be able to calculate and determine its location— it won't be lost. If the armor stays here in the treasure vault and no one chooses it, with my mastery of the Destiny Transfiguration Technique, there will be a way for me to slip back in."

"Judging by your appearance, you want to choose the Primordial Qi? That also works, it could give you an invincible position during the Great Tribulation of the Heavenly Demons that comes later. Even if that little Demon Consort came, she would be captured alive by you!" the Rail Wooden Box said.

"Then I choose the Primordial Qi!" Yang Ji made his choice decisively, setting down the magical armor and grabbing the Primordial Qi as he flew out of the treasure vault.

Outside.

The Demon Consort actually waited there. Upon seeing Yang Ji come out, she asked, "What did you choose?"

"A strand of Primordial Qi!" Yang Ji opened his palm and presented the Primordial Qi without concealing anything.

This sort of thing, if the Demon Consort wanted to know, could not be concealed.

"Primordial Qi?" The Demon Consort's gaze fixed, she spoke slowly, "Primordial Qi is the essence of heaven and earth, most suited for cultivation. Are you planning to use it for cultivation, or do you have another use for it? If it's for cultivation, this strand is too little; compared to other treasures, its value is not great, even non-existent. At our level, absorbing Demonic Qi for cultivation has become secondary, understanding Dao Principles is the main focus." Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

"Demon Consort, I have another use for this strand of Primordial Qi!" Yang Ji said with a smile.

"Since it's your own choice, then alright!" The Demon Consort said, and with a flick of her hand, a flash of light appeared, and a long knife appeared in her palm.

This knife was a pure azure color, radiating endless sharpness as if it could cut through the Sky Firmament and rip open the earth.

"This knife is named the 'Deer Cutter,' possessing the ability to slice through anything, nothing it can't cut, very powerful! I see you also lack a handy weapon, so this knife is gifted to you," the Demon Consort said as the Deer Cutter knife flew in front of Yang Ji, hovering.

"The top-level Immortal Technique I gave you is called 'Endless Severing.' The broadly circulated 'Slicing Technique' is derived from this top-tier Immortal Technique. This Deer Cutter complements Endless Severing very well. Use it well and understand it thoroughly; in the future becoming a top Demon Lord won't be out of the question," the Demon Consort said.

"Thank you, Demon Consort!" Yang Ji's heart bloomed with joy. This Demon Consort really complemented his fate well. The Deer Cutter was made with top-tier material, 'Immortal Severing Gold.' Although it was currently just a low-grade Immortal Artifact, in the future, it definitely had the potential to transform into an Immortal King Artifact.

This was indeed a huge surprise.

The Demon Consort was truly generous.

The smile on Yang Ji's face at this moment was not the slightest bit false.

"Hmm," the Demon Consort nodded lightly, "You have good talent, and I will naturally not be stingy with our own people. After some time, I will also assign forty-nine Demon Lords to follow you; with their strength bolstered by you using the True Demon Transformation Armor Technique, it will be enough for you to join the ranks of the strongest Demon Lords."

"Forty-nine Demon Lords assigned to me?" Yang Ji was astonished; the Demon Consort was indeed very generous.

"The forty-nine Demon Lords I will assign you later are common Demon Lords who have weathered the Heavenly Tribulation through Magical Treasures. Compared to us, who have crossed the Tribulation through our own power, their strength difference is too great, their potential too divergent. Their future achievements are limited. Being able to serve under us is already their honor. You must show your authority as a top Demon Lord; they are just a mere forty-nine common Demon Lords after all, no need to be surprised," the Demon Consort said slowly.

"Thank you for your trust, Demon Consort. Your subordinate will go through water and tread on fire, sacrifice life and limb!" Yang Ji smiled broadly—if indeed she gave him forty-nine Demon Lords, then they would all be Primordial Spirit Fruits for him to manipulate at will.

"Let's go, we're heading back!" The Demon Consort's figure flashed, disappearing from the spot.

Yang Ji followed closely behind.

The Taichu Outer Affairs Hall.

The Demon Consort sat at the head, saying, "I summoned you here this time intending for you to cultivate in the Demon Realm. Now that you've become a Demon Lord, there's no need for that. What are you planning to do next, stay here to cultivate or continue to guard the Taichu World?"

"Your subordinate plans to return to the Taichu World!" Yang Ji said.

"That's fine! We will be entering the Taichu World soon too, so you go ahead!" the Demon Consort said.
