My Informative Cultivation Life

"Where did you get this 'Immortal Sacrifice' from? Is it also a legacy from the Time-Space Elder?" Yang Ji looked towards the Time Tower and asked.

"No, it's not, this is a secret art that I stumbled upon by accident," Bai Ziqi twisted his tower body, as if frowning, and told the truth.

"Stumbled upon it?" Yang Ji was slightly startled. Such a heaven-defying secret art could actually be stumbled upon casually.

"It must be that certain individuals deliberately scattered the secret arts across the Myriad Realms, using them to harvest others' lifespans!" the Rotting Wooden Box said with a heavy voice, "At the realm of such beings, they are already in pursuit of origins and destiny."

"My master has pondered the Heavenly Secrets for countless eons and once said with a furrowed brow this phrase: 'Perhaps...everything in the world is fixed.'"

"Everything in the world is fixed?" Yang Ji slightly furrowed his brow.

"Yes!" the Rotting Wooden Box continued, "Do you know why the rain in this world rises and falls without ever increasing or decreasing by a single drop? Because regardless of the cycle of evaporation and rainfall, the total amount of water in the world remains unchanged."

"Luck, cause and effect, destiny, etc., all of their quantities might be fixed, having a total amount."

"If the sum total of everything in the world were to be focused onto one person, what would happen? Would they return to the origin?"

"If there were only one person in the world, then their destiny might never change, their cause and effect would not change, their fortune would not change, and they would be eternally unique."

"What type of realm is that, I do not understand, I only felt an eternal loneliness, a deathly stillness that oppresses the mind."

"Things unknown, people always seek after them; paths not taken, things not verified, always have an attraction. They say the Dominator is eternally immortal; if they have lost the meaning of living, then let me now tell you, everything they do not understand beneath the heavens, everything they have not obtained, that is precisely what they are pursuing!"

"The one who harvests lifespans with the secret art is apparently accumulating the 'total amount' of lifespans."

"If this is true, could this ambition be too grand?" Yang Ji muttered.

"If not grand, how could it be called ambition!" the Rotting Wooden Box shook its head, "My master once said that the creation of the Celestial Court also harbors ambition, which is to harvest the luck of the Myriad Realms! Those who disobey the administrator are criminals disrupting the luck, and you can imagine the consequences."

"The Celestial Court is harvesting luck for research? No wonder each leading True Disciple is granted the luck of the Myriad Realms, the True Disciples are experimental lab rats, the Celestial Court wants to use this for experiments, to study how luck changes people?" Yang Ji muttered in shock.

"It should be so, but only the higher-ups of the Celestial Court are privy to this. Presumably, even Changyi Immortal King who enhanced your luck did not know this," said the Rotting Wooden Box.

"So I am currently under surveillance?" Yang Ji frowned. Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire

"You? You do not yet qualify! Studying the changes that luck brings to people requires a long time, you will only enter their sights if you become a True Immortal, ascend to the Immortal Realm. Unsuccessful experimental subjects are considered failures, only those who enter the Immortal Realm signify the beginning of the observation," the Rotting Wooden Box explained.

"That there are so many strange and bizarre things in this world is fortunate; good that I killed the Destiny Tribulation and comprehended the Laws of Destiny, which lets me shield all of myself; otherwise, I always feel like a pair of invisible eyes are peering into my everything," Yang Ji frowned and said, "My strength is still too low, I always feel insecure."

Saying so, he turned his gaze towards the Time Tower.

"Are you planning to undergo tribulation again?" the Rotting Wooden Box asked in surprise.

"Yes! Previously, I purchased from the Myriad Realms Tower Spiritual Objects that could increase my lifespan by two hundred and eighty thousand years. During the waiting days, Yin Ya collected from other trade associations Spiritual Objects for me that could increase the lifespan by four hundred and ninety thousand years, and now I have obtained from Lin Hua Jun Spiritual Objects that can increase it by fifty thousand years, altogether that is eight hundred and twenty thousand years of lifespan."

"Moreover, with the Time Tower in hand, I am one hundred percent confident that I can successfully overcome the fourth Great Dao Thunder Tribulation and even the fifth Great Dao Thunder Tribulation!" Yang Ji spoke with utmost confidence; if he managed to overcome the fifth Great Dao Thunder Tribulation, he wondered how strong he would become.
