My Informative Cultivation Life

The two pushed forward and soon penetrated ten miles deep, where the interior became spacious.

Yang Ji, who was inspecting the surroundings, suddenly froze and quickly transmitted his voice to Shen Yin and the Buddha Child, "Stop, quickly."

As he spoke, he flew over as well.

"Master, what's the matter?" the Buddha Child asked with his hands wrapped around a large tree, looking over questioningly.

"What's wrong, big brother?" Shen Yin tilted her head slightly, her eyes shimmering with a green light, still hugging a Vajra Wood and nibbling on it.

"Shh!" Yang Ji made a silencing gesture and then pointed to a stone the size of a calf lying in front.

His heart was suddenly pounding, as the inconspicuous stone before him displayed "Superior Dao Artifact, Da Xianshi, currently dormant."

Superior Dao Artifact?

Da Xianshi?

Yang Ji's breath halted, finding it hard to believe that a Dao Device was lying in such an inconspicuous place, resting atop some vines?

It is said that Hao Yun's true inheritance brings immense fortune, so much so you could even stumble upon Treasure Devices when stepping outside.

So what is it considered when you find a Dao Device instead?

"Master, is there something special about this stone?" the Buddha Child, seeing Yang Ji's rare look of surprise, couldn't help but ask through voice transmission.

"A Superior Dao Artifact!" Yang Ji took a deep breath, calming the turbulence in his heart, and pointed at the stone. He transmitted his voice.

"What? This stone that couldn't be more ordinary is actually a Superior Dao Artifact?" The Buddha Child was shocked, his eyes sparking with excitement as he stared fixedly at it, excitedly transmitting his voice,

"We've struck it rich, Master! Just the material for creating a Superior Dao Artifact could sell for tens of billions or even more; how many Medicine Pills would a complete Dao Device be worth then?"

"This great rock is a Dao Device?" Shen Yin was the most composed. She seemed uninterested in these matters, simply tilting her head and blinking her small eyes, looking over with a hint of curiosity as she transmitted her voice.

"Master, this place is no ordinary spot. Not only does it have Myriad Vajra Wood, but also scattered Dao Devices. My heavens, what kind of place is this?" The Buddha Child said through voice transmission, looking around in amazement.

Yang Ji also continued to gaze around.

The place was vast, stretching further than the eye could see; it was an unknown realm of mystery, so much so that he dared not explore too far.

Even with the Golden Finger, it wouldn't do.

Looking ahead, the scope was too wide, and countless pieces of information surged through his sight like codes, filling his vision.

Each tree, even every speck of dust, was an item of information, one could imagine the vastness.

The useful information had to be sorted by himself, and because there was so much to see, even with his soul having reached the level of God of Yang, it gave him a splitting headache, preventing him from looking too long or absorbing too much information.

Therefore, he often chose to look selectively at a particular object or a certain area.

As for the unknown depths ahead, due to the range being too wide and the view too extensive, he could only glance briefly, so some unknown dangers were not visible.

Unless his gaze progressed inch by inch ahead, and all information was laid bare as his eyes passed over, only then would he dare to move forward with confidence.

Because the way forward was unknown, he only dared to linger on the edge and not delve deeper, not expecting that there would be a Da Xianshi right in this border area.

A Superior Dao Artifact, indeed.

It really was like a dream.

Yang Ji's eyes hardened, indicating for them to even hold their breath, so as not to make the slightest noise.

"Master, what do we do now?" the Buddha Child transmitted.

"What can we do? Since we've encountered it, we must take it," replied Yang Ji through voice transmission, "Don't make a sound. I'll carefully move it into the Mount Sea World. Even if I can't subdue it, then we'll go back and ask the elders for help. I think they won't covet a disciple's chance."

Of course, this was also a measure of last resort. With a Superior Dao Artifact right before his eyes, who wouldn't be envious?

Even if he could not subdue it, he still wished to take it away.

Moreover, it was still sleeping, which was giving him an opportunity.

Yang Ji's eyes shimmered with excitement as he slowly approached through the air.

But suddenly,

there was a crackling sound, and the vines holding up the large rock turned into a pile of dull wood chips.

The big rock also followed suit with a thud, landing on the ground.

Yang Ji's heart tightened, and instinctively, he looked towards Shen Yin.

Shen Yin stuck out her tongue guiltily, transmitting apologetically, "I just absorbed too quickly, and even those vines got sucked in. I didn't expect that the rock being held up was actually a Dao Device."

"It's a good thing this guy is a heavy sleeper, otherwise..." Before Buddha Child could finish speaking, the rock on the ground began to vibrate slightly. Large pieces of stone skin peeled off, revealing the radiant spiritual light and smooth, jade-like interior.

Accompanied by an ancient voice spreading out, "Who is it? Who brought down my bed?"

"Ay, my stone ancestor, who are you guys?" As a piece of stone skin fell off, the big rock suddenly revealed two groggy large eyes. Startled by the sight of Yang Ji and the others nearby, it quickly rolled backward three times in shock.

"We..." Yang Ji's expression flickered, and as he raised his hand, he hesitated.

"Ha, I know now, you all are outsiders, aren't you?" The big rock took a clear look at the three of them, rolled back over without any fear, and with its somewhat cloudy eyes wide open, it sized up Yang Ji and his companions.

"That's right, senior, we intruded here unintentionally," Yang Ji said with a light laugh, showing his teeth. "We're about to leave now, not wishing to disturb your sweet dreams."

A superior Dao Artifact with an Artifact Spirit could easily crush him into pieces with a mere flick.

Having missed the opportunity, he planned to quickly withdraw.

As he spoke, he signaled to Buddha Child and Shen Yin to hide in the Mount Sea World.

Just as he was about to step back, the big rock suddenly murmured, stopping him: "You can get out? That's not right. How did you get in here? The fog outside is endless, filled not only with the Maze Formation but also with the Power of Death. How did you enter here unscathed?"

"We accidentally walked in. Farewell, senior, I'll come to visit you another time." Yang Ji smiled warmly and was about to leave.

"Accidentally walked in? Hmph, you think you can fool me? I've eaten more stones than the Spiritual Energy inside your body. You actually want to trick me? Tell me, how did you get in here? Or I'll squash you flat with my bottom."

Da Xianshi suddenly exerted its power, enlarged in mid-air, and hung over Yang Ji's head. Its body sparkled with Spiritual Light and suddenly burst forth with a vast, majestic power.

Yang Ji's heart skipped a beat, but seeing there was no malice above his head, he took a deep breath and calmed down, smiling slightly, "Senior, I really did enter unintentionally. If you don't believe me, I can take you out and go through it again."

"Oh? Seeing how calm and composed you are, it seems you really do have a way to come and go freely?" Da Xianshi's Spiritual Light retracted slightly, then shrank again, hovering in front of Yang Ji, scrutinizing him.

It thought to itself, "This kid actually has a way to leave, something even I can't do... hmm... better to stabilize him first."

Seeing this, Yang Ji let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes lit up. With a mix of coaxing and bluffing, he said, "Senior, if you wish to leave, I can guide you. The outside world is even bigger; you truly undersell yourself by being here. You should go out and let your brilliance shine."

"I, the old ancestor, am naturally as brilliant as ten thousand radiating lights, the brightest stone wherever I go. Hmph! But I see you have a different motive, trying to subdue me? Watch as I crush you flat."

Da Xianshi, old and cunning, instantly saw through Yang Ji's subtle thoughts.

Above his head, the word "Intimidating" appeared, and its form magnified once again, suspended above Yang Ji and bursting out with endless might.

But at that moment, from deep within the area, suddenly there came a rumbling sound like distant thunder.

Faintly, Yang Ji also heard a "clang, clang" of chains rattling, accompanied by low roars like those of demons.

As strange noises emanated from deep within the Secret Realm, Da Xianshi's gaze darkened, it humphed lightly, seemingly losing interest in toying with Yang Ji, and looked intently toward the depths.

"Senior, what's inside there?" Yang Ji asked in a focused tone.

"A Heavenly Demon, a powerful one comparable to a Red Dust Immortal."

"Ah, where are you going, kid?"

"Don't be afraid, that Heavenly Demon is suppressed."

"You're scared just like that? You truly lack courage, and yet you want to subdue me."

Seeing Yang Ji's changing expression and his rush to flee, Da Xianshi quickly spoke to reassure him.
