My Informative Cultivation Life

Chapter 123: Chapter 106: Great Sage Mu Yuan, Infernal Demon Lord_2



"This?" Yang Ji had not expected there to be so many taboos.

He looked into the depths and asked, "What is the name of the Heavenly Demon in there? Even the Red Dust Immortal such as Great Sage Mu Yuan couldn't obliterate it."

"The Infernal Demon Lord! A powerful Heavenly Demon comparable to a Red Dust Immortal," Da Xianshi spoke gravely.

"The Infernal Demon Lord?" Yang Ji muttered to himself and then asked with a puzzled look, "Senior, how was the Death Mist outside the Secret Realm formed?"

"It is the manifestation of a part of the Laws of Death of the Infernal Demon Lord outside the realm. This demon seeks to devour the flesh and blood of cultivators from the outside world to nourish itself and recover its vitality. The master then deployed spatial constraining methods to counteract it, reducing its speed.

Usually, cultivators would steer clear of the Death Mist, rendering its attempts futile. However, how could the demon be content with that? It occasionally breaks open space, causing the mist to leap through it, and from time to time, some people are trapped within it and fall victim to its poisonous clutches," Da Xianshi explained.

"So that's how it is! No wonder the Death Mist appears without warning and then disappears just as mysteriously. It turns out to be such high-level entities secretly clashing."

Yang Ji finally understood, but he still had doubts in his heart, "If the Death Mist is the work of that Heavenly Demon, isn't Great Sage Mu Yuan afraid that the Outer Realm Demons might discover this demon's tracks?"

"The world is vast, with the Three Thousand Great Realms, Infinite Minor Realms, and boundless starry skies; not even the Heavenly Demons can know everything or be omniscient. Otherwise, they would have already discovered the existence of the lord and the Infernal Demon Lord."

"Furthermore, there is no trace of the Origin Qi of the Infernal Demon Lord in the Death Mist. All his aura has already been sealed within by the Isolation Array of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The Death Mist outside is merely the result of the Infernal Demon Lord using his formidable cultivation and influence on the Laws of Death between heaven and earth to manifest the purest Power of Death.

All of that is the Power of Death that has never been refined by anyone and has never been tainted with anyone's aura."

"Many people practice the way of Death, and it is difficult for Heavenly Demons to detect any clues."

Da Xianshi said.

"To influence the Laws of Death in the outside world with formidable cultivation, I see!" Yang Ji nodded slightly, showing a touch of emotion.

As the two of them talked, night had fallen.

Just then, a boom! The world trembled as the sound of Shocking Thunder erupted.

In the depths, the wind howled, the full moon was dark, and streaks of lightning fell from the sky, tearing through the dark void, cutting through the mist, and striking down.

From deep within the Secret Realm too, at this moment, came the clanging sound of iron chains shaking. A terrifying aura surged out, roaring as if a primordial beast was about to break free from its bindings.

Yang Ji suddenly took to the air, locking his gaze in the direction where the lightning fell, and immediately, information appeared: [Isolation Array of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths], [Subdue Demon Great Array], [Myriad Annihilation Thunder Calling Formation], [Sealed Demon Well], [Demon Lord], [Red Dust Immortal].

Just as he was about to retract his gaze, he saw five more pieces of information: [Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator], [Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator], [Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator], [Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator], [Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator].

"Senior, are there others in the depths?" Yang Ji said in surprise.

"Yes, just like you, they all stumbled in unintentionally. They survived by relying on their not-so-bad cultivation levels. But the other intruders were not so lucky; those below the Fushion Realm only had one path: death."

Da Xianshi shook his head, gazing forward before suddenly seizing Yang Ji, "Come, I'll take you in for a look."

Boom!

Boom!

Thunder and lightning shook the world, an aura of destruction enveloping all directions. Streaks of purple lightning struck down along a heaven-piercing iron pillar into a pitch-black Demon Well eight zhang in diameter. Inside, the purple light was vast, crackling with energy.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a deep roar emanated from within the Demon Well. A gale surged out, one that could scatter a person's soul, causing the iron pillar that penetrated the Demon Well to tremble. Amid the surges of dreadful aura, waves of pitch-black Demonic Qi swept out.

But then, the eight pitch-black chains that locked the Demon Well suddenly lit up. Endless silver runes emerged, instantly interweaving to form a circular rune light shield that fiercely suppressed the Demonic Qi inside.

This was the Subdue Demon Great Array, containing the Demonic Qi.

Yang Ji watched from afar, feeling the boundless, vast Demonic Qi inside the Demon Well and the powerful aura that oppressed the soul.

If it hadn't been for the Isolation Array of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths locking in the terrifying aura that burst forth, I'm afraid a single demon roar could have determined his death on the spot.

"Quick, there's blood essence surging over there, gather it up quickly." Five Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses were surrounding the Demon Well on all sides, continuously absorbing the blood mist that filled the sky.

"Senior, what are they doing?" Yang Ji asked in a solemn voice.

"Do you see that blood mist? That is the flesh and souls of those who died tragically within the Death Mist. Each evening, these blood essences hidden in the Death Mist surge towards the Demon Well. If the Demon King absorbs them, his vitality will recover, and the consequences would be unimaginable. These five are preventing this from happening," Da Xianshi explained.

"Senior Da Xianshi, who is this young man?" asked an old man with a withered complexion, whose health didn't seem too good, upon noticing Yang Ji next to Da Xianshi.

At the same time, the other four also noticed Yang Ji, casting curious glances his way.

"Him? Like you, he also barged in from the outside," Da Xianshi said.

"Oh? How did this young friend make his way in here? How did he manage to remain unscathed?" The crowd was astonished, knowing that they had nearly lost their lives falling into the Death Mist.

"He screamed tragically within the Death Mist, and it just so happened that I was patrolling nearby, so I lent him a hand," Da Xianshi said vaguely.

"Oh?" The crowd's gaze flickered. Having cultivated to their level, they could deduce a lot of information from a few words. They looked at Yang Ji, then at Da Xianshi, obviously not quite believing such a story.

Having experienced the Death Mist themselves, they knew its ferocity. A Nascent Soul Realm minor cultivator would die completely upon encountering even a strand of the Power of Death. How could any scream have escaped?

Someone immediately sent Yang Ji a secret message, asking, "Young friend, how did you barge in here?"

"I was just caught in the Death Mist for a short time when I encountered Senior Da Xianshi, who was patrolling outside. He cast a beam of light, which then saved me," Yang Ji replied through a secret message.

"Is that really so?" the person confirmed.

"Yes, if it weren't for Senior Da Xianshi, I reckon I would have died in the mist," Yang Ji sent back, his face filled with lingering fear.

"And you seniors, how did you make your way here?" he asked.

"The Death Mist appeared without warning and enveloped us. We tried to follow the bright areas, thinking that we could make our way out, but to our surprise, those bright areas turned out to be this Secret Realm. We joined forces trying to break out, but ended up injuring ourselves, and after going round in circles, we ended up back here.

The Power of Death inside the Death Mist is completely irregular, disrupting our sense of direction, and we simply couldn't find our way out, though coming in was easy. This must be the work of the Heavenly Demon," the person replied through a secret message.

"Great Sage, it looks like they want to leave as well. Why don't we join forces, subdue Da Xianshi, and break out?" Buddha Child sent a secret message.

"No! We can't reveal our intentions for now," Yang Ji sent back seriously.

"Kid, did they send you secret messages? You mustn't take them out with you. If they join the Heavenly Demon and reveal the situation here, attracting Outer Realm Demons, and releasing the Infernal Demon Lord, then the world will be plunged into hell again. Can you bear the consequences of such karma?" Da Xianshi gravely sent.

This was also Yang Ji's concern. Releasing such an unparalleled demon was simply unthinkable.

Yet, he himself was also trapped now, and Da Xianshi clearly wouldn't let him leave either, which made things difficult.

"Haha, everyone hold your positions, we must not let this blood essence flow into the Demon Well. Once we wear out this Heavenly Demon, the Death Mist outside will also disappear, then we can all leave," Da Xianshi said encouragingly.

"The Myriad Annihilation Thunder Calling Formation has summoned pure Yang purple thunder. With such powerful divine thunder striking every night, if this Heavenly Demon doesn't die, this guy surely has an inconceivably strong life force," a Nascent Soul elder said solemnly, "Who knows how many thousands of years it will take for this Heavenly Demon to die, it's too lengthy."

"Alas, it really is lengthy. If we could summon the Origin Divine Thunder, I reckon it wouldn't take a day for this Heavenly Demon to turn to ashes," Da Xianshi also shook his head helplessly.

"Thousands of years?" Yang Ji frowned, this was indeed excessively long.

He couldn't wait that long.

As he pondered, Shen Yin sent him a message, "Big brother, I think I can summon the Origin Divine Thunder."
