My Informative Cultivation Life

"Sages, is there a matter that compels you to block my way?" Yang Ji frowned slightly and asked aloud. As the four prepared to speak, a breeze suddenly blew through, and without notice, another figure appeared in the sky. Looking up, Yang Ji saw that the figure was the mysteriously manifested Tian Jizi. The Empress and her companions were alarmed, exchanging a glance, none of them had seen how the person had appeared. Coincidentally, the newcomer stopped not far from Yang Ji, in a particularly delicate position. The Empress and her guard dared not to make any rash movements. Yang Ji glanced at Tian Jizi, who also returned the look calmly. Just as the atmosphere turned increasingly delicate, a stream of Yin Yang Energies shot out from the direction of Qian Zhou. The Yin Yang Taoist stepped on the two energies and walked slowly, stopping opposite Tian Jizi. "Hand over the Destiny Stone!" The Yin Yang Taoist's voice was majestic, swirling Yin Yang Energies around his feet, transforming into a torrential Yin Yang Ocean beneath him, exuding an abyssal aura that rumbled through the air and suppressed Tian Jizi's aura completely. With the arrival of the Yin Yang Taoist, the Empress and her companions were even less inclined to move, merely watching silently. "You're not fortunate enough to enjoy the Destiny Stone!" Tian Jizi looked at him, unmoved, his demeanor calm as usual. "How dare the junior speculate about my fortune? I wish to see how exactly I'm not lucky enough to enjoy this stone!" The Yin Yang Taoist, a profound man, didn't show excessive anger. His expression did not change, and with a grand gesture, he reached out from afar. A swirl of Yin Yang Energies rapidly formed the "Yin Yang Realm," peeling away the surrounding Grand Daos and releasing its own rules. The Yin Yang Realm was the Yin Yang Taoist's Sealing Technique, his Dao born from Yin Yang. It looked like Yin Yang but was not Yin Yang. "The Yin Yang Realm is strong, but it cannot contain me! Yin Yang Taoist, we will meet again!" Tian Jizi gave the Yin Yang Taoist a faint glance, his gaze fleetingly touching upon Yang Ji as well. After that, a mysterious Qi appeared around him, enveloping him completely. The Yin Yang Realm had stripped away the Three Thousand Grand Daos, creating a special domain. However, the Qi surrounding Tian Jizi had stripped away the Yin Yang Realm itself as if no law could touch him. "What? How is this possible?" Under the astonished gaze of the Yin Yang Taoist, Tian Jizi became ethereal and vanished into thin air, disappearing into the rules and Dao of his adversary. "What did he do? The Yin Yang Realm couldn't seal him. He's just an Immortal King, how did he vanish?" The Empress and her companions, witnesses to the scene, were greatly shocked, their faces filled with disbelief. "How did Tian Jizi escape? Yang Ji, did you see it?" the Ragged Wooden Box asked urgently. "Although he hasn't ascended to Immortal King through the Path of Destiny, he possesses the Destiny Compass, a Supreme Treasure. Just now he used the treasure to merge with the Path of Destiny and left," Yang Ji exclaimed, "With such a treasure, I fear no one can kill him, placing him on invincible standings." "Tian Jizi, the favored child of Destiny, the most mysterious, formidable, and heart-stirring bearer of the Origin Treasure of Destiny in his hand. If the Dominator were to know, he would comb the world to find him and seize his compass," said the Ragged Wooden Box, full of regrets, "I should have seized it then... I should have..." "Eh, boss, when Tian Jizi vanished, the scattering light seemed to form a few characters, is that—the Great Sword Realm Art?" The Buddha Child exclaimed in surprise. "Indeed, it was the Great Sword Realm Art, is he hinting at something? It seems that with the help of the Destiny Compass, he recognized me," Yang Ji concluded, his fingers calculating. The Yin Yang Taoist looked at where his "Yin Yang Realm" held nothing, his expression changing as his Dao heart wavered slightly. "How could an Immortal King escape from my rules? How is this possible?" His face twisted as he whispered in disbelief. Dao Principles swirled chaotically around him, and space shattered inch by inch, a clear sign of his inner turmoil. "Who exactly is he? The ancestors must know!" The expression of the Yin Yang Taoist turned dark, and with a flicker, he transformed into a point of light and vanished into thin air. "Junior, we are very interested in the Bronze Divine Blade you acquired. Each of us will offer you a vein of Supreme Immortal Stone. Would you consider trading the Blade with us?" No sooner had the Yin Yang Taoist left than the Empress and her companions flew over, each holding out a vein of Supreme Immortal Stone. "These four really have the gall—thinking of exchanging four Supreme Immortal Stone Veins for an Immortal King Artifact forged by Copper Mother!" The Ragged Wooden Box gnashed its teeth in anger. "The four seniors wish for the Bronze Divine Blade? What if I refuse to give it?" Yang Ji spoke slowly. "Refuse?" the Red Blade King snorted coldly. A fierce blade energy shot out from him, forcing Yang Ji to retreat repeatedly, "You can't handle the Bronze Divine Blade. Only in my hands can its brilliance shine!" "I don't want the blade. I simply wish to borrow it to comprehend the Sealing Technique of 'Bronze City' left by Senior Copper Master," the Empress said slowly. "Copper Mother is a top-tier material; I'd like to use it to forge a pair of 'World Listening Ears.' If one Supreme Immortal Stone Vein isn't enough, I'll add three more. How about that? Is that sincere enough?" The Truth King smiled slightly, not pressing too hard. "Why waste words with him? I'm determined to possess this blade!" The Red Blade King snorted disdainfully and reached out with a giant hand to grab Yang Ji directly. A Great Luo Immortal Sage, he didn't take to heart. The Empress and the other two remained silent, quietly watching everything unfold. After all, to produce fifteen million Primordial Pills was no simple matter. They all wanted to see if the Red Blade King could force out the person supporting Yang Ji from behind the scenes. "This Red Blade King is courting death. Such a trash, without even an Immortal King Artifact, dares to be so aggressive!" the Ragged Wooden Box spoke coldly. "Hmph!" Yang Ji snorted coldly and raised his hand to throw out a burning yellow talisman. When the Red Blade King's giant hand touched the yellow talisman, flames instantly enveloped his entire body. "Ah, what... what kind of flame is this?" the Red Blade King cried out in shock. Dao Principles emanated from his body, attempting to keep the flames at bay. But to his astonishment, he found the flames burning everything on him, even consuming the Dao Principles of the Immortal King, causing an immense shock to his heart. "These flames are even burning my Immortal King Dao Principles? How is this possible?" "What? Burning your Immortal King Dao Principles?" The Cold King was startled and immediately employed a Supreme Immortal Technique, releasing a blast of absolute cold. But to everyone's surprise, the intense cold failed to extinguish the flames on his body. Even more astonishing was that the cold itself was burning up. "This... is truly bizarre. I never expected to encounter two such mysterious individuals today," the Empress and others looked towards Yang Ji, their expressions full of oddity. "Boy, you've actually harmed me. The majesty of an Immortal King is not to be violated!" the Red Blade King was both shocked and furious. He ignored the flames on his body and once again reached out, intending to capture Yang Ji. "It seems the Curse of Hastened Death is still unable to deal a fatal blow to an Immortal King. You are indeed worthy; an Immortal King merged with the Great Dao is formidable!" Seeing the Red Blade King extend his hand again, Yang Ji faced the danger unflinchingly. He used his hand as a sword, employing the Great Sword Realm Art. With a wave through the air, boundless Sword Qi from the Sword Realm fell from above, forming a barrier in front of him. At the same time, his Primordial Spirit sensed the existence of the Sword Realm, and with the Wings of Time-Space unfurling behind him, he instantly disappeared from the spot. By now, he had realized that Tian Jizi had foresaw this calamity for him and had deliberately left him a strategy to cope with it before departing. That was to seek refuge in the Sword Realm! The Sword Realm was mysterious, only existing in legends, and seldom visited by anyone. Fortunately, he had perfected the Great Sword Realm Art in his possession, allowing him to sense the location of the Sword Realm and borrow its Sword Qi. Now that he had achieved the status of Great Luo Immortal Sage, he could use this art as a key to open the gates of the Sword Realm and enter it. "Thinking of escape? Can you?" The Red Blade King saw Yang Ji's actions and snorted coldly, pursuing him. The Empress and the other two exchanged glances and followed suit. As everyone traversed time-space, the space distorted. In a whirl of heaven and earth, they followed Yang Ji into a strange world. This world had no mountains or rivers, no soil or wood, no clouds or mist, no flowers or grass... only boundless Sword Qi, endless Sword Qi, colorful Sword Qi, Sword Qi of all attributes! "What is this?" The Red Blade King and the others who followed were taken aback, observing their surroundings. "This... seems to be a grand realm. Could it be that this is where the person behind him resides?" The Empress and the others exchanged glances, understanding the implication and immediately became more solemn, daring not to be the slightest bit careless. "Who dares to intrude the Sword Realm!" Just then, a voice as sharp as a sword fell from the Nine Heavens. The Empress and the others felt as if their eardrums were pierced by a sharp sword, their expressions drastically changing.
