My Informative Cultivation Life

Yang Ji only felt enveloped by an endless momentum, unable to break free.

After a spatial tug, he reappeared inside a grand hall.

At the head of the hall, Zhuan Lun sat on the king's throne with an air of dignity, looking down coldly at Yang Ji.

"Did you ever think this day would come when you dared to challenge my authority?"

"Bring him out and behead him!"

Yang Ji was restrained at this moment, completely immobilized. The only means he had to counter Zhuan Lun was the Wheel of Destiny.

But he had never confronted a powerhouse like the Quasi-Imperial Monarch before; he didn't know if the Wheel of Destiny, pieced together from eight fragments of Destiny Gears, could deliver a fatal blow to such formidable adversaries. If he failed, the supremely treasured Wheel of Destiny would undoubtedly be exposed.

Moreover, his current identity was particularly sensitive. He estimated that the bigwigs of the Celestial Court were watching him from the shadows.

Once the Wheel of Destiny was revealed, it would likely change hands.

Yang Ji's thoughts raced a million times in the blink of an eye, but as Zhuan Lun's confidants stepped forward, he said, "Hold on, I am a member of the Heavenly Court Ranking. Do you dare kill me?"

"Ranking?" Clearly, Zhuan Lun's confidants were unaware of Yang Ji's identity. Their stern expressions instantly turned to surprise, with a tinge of covert concern.

Both looked up, seeking Zhuan Lun's decision once more.

"Hmph! Ranking!" Zhuan Lun scoffed, and as his brow furrowed, a piece of information appeared above his head, "What kind of monster is this kid? How much time has passed? He has reached the pinnacle of Golden Immortal and is about to break through to Great Luo Immortal Sage. Given more time..."

"At first, I thought the kid who stole my 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' was something special, but it turns out this kid is the real deal."

"In the Lower Realm, a Quasi-Ranking is born every three hundred years, and among the various powers of the Immortal Realm, the Sequence is not uncommon. Kid, being part of the Sequence is nothing special. I rule Gengzhou, I am the sky here. What's an unestablished Sequence worth? Crushing one is like popping a bubble, just a slight pop, incapable of stirring a tempest. And yet, you use your Sequence status to pressure me. How preposterous! Did you not know, I am also part of the Sequence?" Zhuan Lun looked down upon Yang Ji from above, his lips curving with a hint of amusement, showing no anger.

Yang Ji's gaze shifted and then he said, "Lord Zhuan Lun, speaking of which, we are practically kin."

"Oh?" Zhuan Lun raised an eyebrow, looking intrigued.

"In the Lower Realm, my Sect Master is a descendant of the King of Reincarnation, and you, my lord, are an offspring of the King of Reincarnation. Now that we serve together in Gengzhou, there's indeed a significant connection." Yang Ji edged closer.

"Hmph, had you not mentioned it, I might not have minded. Now, I feel an urge to descend to the Lower Realm and slay him myself. What right has he to meddle with the Six Paths of Reincarnation?" Zhuan Lun's face showed anger, obviously harboring resentment and unable to let go of the matter.

"My lord, with your exceptional talent and unrivaled gifts, if the King of Reincarnation did not bestow the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' upon you, there must be a profound reason. There's no need for you to be fixated, nor to speculate on the will of the King of Reincarnation," Yang Ji said soothingly.

"Hmph!" Zhuan Lun huffed powerfully but made no further move, seemingly having come to terms with it over the years.

"Since you are a member of the Heavenly Court Ranking, it isn't proper for me to kill you. Your Sect Master is a descendant of my ancestor; technically, you could be considered somewhat related to me. So be it, I shall release you." Zhuan Lun made a grasping motion in the air with one hand, lifting the restraint, then said with a deep chuckle, "When we fought in the Lower Realm, I found the method you used quite interesting, actually managing to seal Dao Principles..."

"It was a Natural Formation. Since you like it, Lord, I am happy to offer it up," Yang Ji quickly perceived Zhuan Lun's interest and handed over the Sealing Technique.

Zhuan Lun took a glance at the Jade Slip inscribed with the Formation patterns, his eyes showing continuous admiration, marveling at how stunning the technique was. It brightened his view, overturning his understanding. But as he continued, he frowned, "It can only seal the Dao Principles of Golden Immortals?"

"Indeed, this Formation is naturally formed and can only seal the Dao Principles of a Golden Immortal. As for the original Formation patterns, if you are interested, I have an accurate coordinate here. If you wish to delve into research, you can descend to the Lower Realm to investigate." Yang Ji did not conceal anything and immediately informed Zhuan Lun of the location of the Natural Formation.

"Boss, are we just giving away the Formation like that?" Buddha Child frowned and transmitted his voice.

"The reason why Zhuan Lun is 'obsessively concerned' about me is obviously because he covets this Formation. It's alright to hand it over. Although the Formation is exquisite, trying to strengthen it afterwards is as difficult as ascending to heaven." Yang Ji had the Golden Finger. If he used this Formation as a basis and slowly deduced it, he would surely be able to create an extraordinary Sealing Technique. Others, however, would need lengthy years, and perhaps, even within those long years, they might not be able to enhance it a single step.

"A Natural Formation?" Zhuan Lun murmured to himself as he looked at the Jade Slip, then raised his head to look at Yang Ji, as if trying to see something in Yang Ji's eyes. Yet, after a long while, he still failed to notice anything and then said,

"This Formation is exquisitely peerless, beyond one's imagination. Indeed, only the Great Dao could naturally give rise to such a thing, just like the Supreme Treasures born within the Great Dao, perfect and flawless, with boundless power. It is indeed worth researching."

Hovering above Zhuan Lun's head was the word 'Joy,' yet he remained composed as he slowly tucked away the Jade Slip. With each breath, he felt lighter and smoother, and his gaze towards Yang Ji became much more amiable.

"Seeing how perceptive you are, from now on, stay in Gengzhou to help me defend against the enemies."

"Of course, my lord. Should the Dark Realm launch an attack, I will certainly take action to defend!" Yang Ji bowed and said.

"Hmm..." Zhuan Lun nodded, but before he could lift his head, a dull chime sounded from outside, and his expression immediately changed, "Hmm?"

"My lord, it's not good, the Dark Realm has launched another offensive, and this time it seems quite ominous." A figure appeared within the hall in a flash of light, with a somewhat solemn expression, addressing the seated Zhuan Lun from above.

"Yang Ji, your chance to make a contribution has arrived. The Dark Realm has launched a new round of offensive. Go out and repel them, and you will surely receive a reward from the Celestial Court," Zhuan Lun immediately turned to Yang Ji.

"..." Yang Ji really wanted to slap himself. This was truly a case of the jinx.

Three years, just give him three years, and he would surely break through to become a Great Luo Immortal Sage. Then his strength would greatly increase, and he would feel much more at ease, even confident in the face of a Quasi-Imperial Monarch.

"Damn Dark Realm, why launch an offensive now?"

Yang Ji frowned secretly and glanced at Zhuan Lun, but he had no choice but to accept the command and walk out.

"My lord, who is he?" the newcomer asked.

"The new commander, a Sequence!" Zhuan Lun said.

"A Sequence?" The newcomer furrowed his brow and said, "My lord, the movement of the Dark Realm is not small this time. The front-line troops have suffered heavy losses, and a Quasi-Imperial Monarch has made a covert move. He is merely at the Golden Immortal Peak, going out there would mean certain death."

"My lord, after all, he is of the Golden Immortal Sequence, not an ordinary True Immortal Sequence. If he dies out there, I'm afraid the Heavenly Court might have some words of complaint, and it could possibly blame my lord. Should we call him back?" The two confidants of Zhuan Lun looked at each other and suggested.

"Have you ever thought that for him, as part of the Golden Immortal Sequence, to appear here as a commander, he must have offended some powerful figure in the Celestial Court and been banished here. By sending him to defend against the enemy, I am also fulfilling the wishes of that powerful figure," Zhuan Lun said, with a cold laugh following his words.

"..." The three subordinates below exchanged glances, their expressions flickering, and they fell silent.
