My Informative Cultivation Life

"Have you mentioned this to anyone else?" Elder Chun Ye stared at Yang Ji and spoke sternly.

"No!" Yang Ji replied earnestly.

"How did you come to know that he is a Heavenly Demon? It took us a great deal of effort to find out not long ago that he is indeed a Heavenly Demon." Elder Chun Ye sized up Yang Ji, not bothering to hide the astonishment in his eyes.

"Disciple also came to know of it unintentionally." Yang Ji said vaguely.

"Unintentionally? Your 'unintentional discovery' almost matches the entire sect's energy." Elder Chun Ye said in wonder.

"Stay here and don't move; I will return shortly." Elder Chun Ye pondered for a moment, then said suddenly.

"Yes, Elder." Yang Ji nodded.

Elder Chun Ye transformed into a streak of light and flew out of the Dao Tower.

"Lord, who would have thought that the sect was actually aware that the boy is a demon chief?" Buddha Child said, deeply surprised.

"I did not expect that either. It appears the Dao Sect lives up to its name. Although they only found out not long ago, they ultimately did uncover it. With their myriad methods and profound foundation, it is indeed difficult for most people to fathom. It is for the best that the sect knows about it." As Yang Ji was moved, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At that moment, in the Wuji Pavilion, atop the Ninth Heavens.

Sect Master Wuji Zi, Elder Chun Ye, and five other Mahayana elders were all seated on clouds.

The atmosphere here was somewhat strange compared to usual.

"Are you saying that the disciple who inherited the legacy of the Eastern Orthodox Demon Emperor has seen through Liu Xiaosheng's identity as a Heavenly Demon?" asked a Mahayana elder, utterly astonished and seemingly unable to believe it.

"Yes, my heart trembled upon first hearing it as well." Elder Chun Ye said with a furrowed brow.

"To think that the sect discovered he was a Heavenly Demon through supreme methods and centuries of surveillance, an accidental find that is almost irreplicable. This is indeed a result of our sect's flourishing destiny and fortune that should not have been extinguished. As for this disciple, could his destiny and fortune be more intense than that of the entire sect?

Otherwise, I really can't think of how he discovered it." A Mahayana elder said with a gleam of curiosity in their eyes.

"I didn't ask in detail; by the looks of it, he probably would not tell the truth." Elder Chun Ye said thoughtfully.

"Interesting. I previously thought he might possibly become a True Disciple. Now I've changed my mind; I believe there's a ninety percent chance he will become a Taoist Body, and his final achievements might even surpass ours," said a Mahayana elder suddenly with a laugh.

"Why do you say that?" another Mahayana elder asked, puzzled.

"What kind of person is Liu Xiaosheng? He is the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor's consciousness, with formidable fortune, and is powerful enough to rank within the top ten among True Disciples. There's also a massive Heavenly Demon force hidden behind him. Read the latest on M-VL-emp,yr

Such a layout is equivalent to concentrating all the fortune of this Heavenly Demon force, yet now, his identity has been uncovered by a Nascent Soul realm Inner Sect Disciple. How extraordinary is this?" explained the Mahayana elder.

"Is there a possibility... that their fates conflict with each other?" Sect Master Wuji Zi suddenly said.

"Are you suggesting that this disciple suppresses Liu Xiaosheng?"

"Hmm," Sect Master Wuji Zi nodded lightly. "Where there is shade, there is light; where there is right, there is wrong; where there is life, there is death. Everything has two sides, and I believe this disciple represents the side that suppresses him."

"What you say makes sense, Master. Otherwise, how do you explain his ability to see that Liu Xiaosheng is a Heavenly Demon? The causality of the world cycles; all things support and suppress one another. In that case, why not use this disciple's hand to restrain Liu Xiaosheng?" said the Mahayana elder suddenly.

"I agree. Since this disciple knew he was a Heavenly Demon, it seems his fate suppresses Liu Xiaosheng. If his destiny restrains him, it's better than our deliberate scheming, and we can also take this opportunity to covertly investigate Liu Xiaosheng's plots and the Heavenly Demon force behind him," another Mahayana elder said.

"The disciple's strength is still weak; I am concerned he might suffer in a clash of fates. Should we secretly give him some resources to enhance his strength?" a Mahayana elder said thoughtfully.

"We shouldn't. The clash of fates must not be interfered with external forces. If we intervene, we might disturb his fortune, and it could backfire, just as Elder Chun Ye said," another Mahayana elder shook their head in response.

"He found Elder Chun Ye, and Elder Chun Ye informed us. Are we not also part of his fortune? We have already become entangled in this great causality," Sect Master Wuji Zi said slowly.

"So you mean..."

"Resources can be given, but not too many. Lest we truly disturb his fortune, it might backfire as Elder Chun Ye mentioned," Sect Master Wuji Zi said.

"I just calculated with the Supreme Immortal Technique, and it turns out Liu Xiaosheng intended to take him under his wing. This should be their first encounter, and the first time they met, their fates clashed, and he recognized him as a Heavenly Demon. It seems they are indeed mutually conflicting in destiny," a Mahayana elder said with interest.

"This disciple is also quite a character; seemingly not wanting to be subordinate to others, he leaked the secret of Liu Xiaosheng being a Heavenly Demon, aiming to shift the conflict elsewhere."

"The sect cannot take up this conflict; we must let them fight it out. The sect shall be his strongest backing," another Mahayana elder said with a smile.

"How about we send out the message that he, Yang Ji, is destined to become a Taoist Body, and how could he possibly bow down to others?" suggested a Mahayana elder suddenly with a sly smile.

"Isn't that going too far? Could it harm the disciple?" a concerned Mahayana elder furrowed their brow, feeling it unwise.

```

"Just give them a polite refusal. Since their fortunes clash, this disciple won't agree to join under Liu Xiaosheng's command anyway. We can help him express his true thoughts. Secretly spread the news, just say that an Inner Sect Disciple of the Nascent Soul realm, Yang Ji, has politely declined the invitation of True Disciple Liu Xiaosheng," Wuji Zi said indifferently.

```

```

"Alright, I'll follow the Sect Master's orders," a Mahayana disciple said with a smile.

```

```

"Chun Ye, you know what to do," Wuji Zi said.

```

```

"I understand," Chun Ye replied with a slight smile.

```

```

...

```

```

The Dao Tower.

```

```

Suddenly, a streak of light flashed, and Chun Ye returned once more.

```

```

"Young Yang, this matter is of great importance. You must not speak of it to a second person, do you understand? The Sect has already begun making arrangements. Don't worry, that Heavenly Demon won't be causing any waves," Elder Chun Ye said sternly.

```

```

"Alright." Yang Ji clearly understood the implications.

```

```

"Mhm, you can go back now, but remember you must be very cautious with your words and actions," Elder Chun Ye said gravely.

```

```

Yang Ji nodded, bowed, and then left the Dao Tower.

```

```

But on his way back to the Sect, he heard some people discussing softly under the clouds, "I heard that an Inner Sect Disciple named Yang Ji actually refused the invitation of True Disciple Liu Xiaosheng. He gave up the opportunity to join the Heavenly Domain and become a close confidant of a True Disciple. It's really puzzling. If it were me, I would definitely agree without a second thought."

```

```

"No way? He refused a True Disciple's invitation? Why can't I encounter such good fortune?" another disciple said, shaking his head in envy.

```

```

Yang Ji was utterly baffled. When had he refused? This hadn't even happened yet.

```

```

"Sect Master, could it be that some Servant Disciple at Dao Peak is getting paranoid? Spreading rumors?" Buddha Child mused.

```

```

"Let's go back and ask, then we'll know," Yang Ji said, his expression darkening.

```

```

As he flew back, he heard many people discussing the matter along the way, and Yang Ji's frown deepened.

```

```

At Dao Peak, Yang Ji summoned all the Servant Disciples.

```

```

They all stood before him with their heads down. After questioning them, they all said they hadn't gossiped.

```

```

None of their faces showed any signs of unusual information, so it seemed they were telling the truth.

```

```

Just as Yang Ji was feeling utterly dejected, it suddenly occurred to him, "Could it be the Sect setting me up? Otherwise, how could the news have spread so fast?"

```

```

"The Sect let it slip out?" Buddha Child's eyes swiveled.

```

```

Yang Ji numbly nodded.

```

```

"Sect Master, what should we do now?" Buddha Child asked.

```

```

"The Sect knows Liu Xiaosheng is a Heavenly Demon and yet they don't sanction him. Instead, they push me to the front. Do they want me to escalate the conflict with him?"

```

```

Yang Ji's mind raced, and he frowned, "Does the Sect want me to fight him? What kind of strategy is this?"

```

```

He certainly didn't want that. He slumped into the big chair, despair written all over his face, "Ridiculous!"

```

```

"How can a disciple as vibrant and lucky as you think about giving up?"

```

```

Suddenly, a deep voice echoed in the great hall as Elder Chun Ye tore through the space and walked in smiling.

```

```

"Hey, young Yang, cheer up. You wouldn't agree to serve him anyway, so what's the harm in helping you speak out?" Elder Chun Ye deliberately elongated his tone.

```

```

Yang Ji ignored him, still sprawled despondently in the big chair, his body sliding down even more dramatically.

```

```

"The Sect won't mistreat you, tell me, what do you want?" Chun Ye looked at him, smiled lightly, then sat down, and began pouring himself a cup of tea nonchalantly.

```

```

"Time Stones, Space Stones, Three Immortal Techniques, as well as Spiritual Objects capable of raising my Spiritual Root to the level of a Taoist Body; also, I want to look at the Wuji Immortal Scripture," Yang Ji suddenly stood up and said.

```

```

"Pfft!" Chun Ye almost sprayed out his tea, "You even want to look at the Wuji Immortal Scripture? I can't even see it, you really do have quite the audacity."

```
