Chapter 231: Chapter 161: Xuan Haisheng, Treasure Vault, Tea Party_2

```"A Life and Death Talisman? What a powerful method to control Mahayana cultivators. Fifteen Mahayana, that's a formidable force," Yang Ji marveled inwardly. First, the Heavenly Demons had taken control of the peripheral seas; it seemed they planned to slowly erode the power of all forces in the Taichu World step by step.

"How do you control them afterward?" Yang Ji inquired further.

"With a Life-Death Talisman." Xuan Haisheng replied.

"Hand over the Life-Death Talisman to me," Yang Ji's gaze swept over.

"Give it to you?" The middle-aged man's eyes slightly sank.

Xuan Haisheng reached out again, but without saying much, he directly took out a Dao Talisman and tossed it to Yang Ji.

Yang Ji caught it, finding that the talisman was black on one side and white on the other, both sides emblazoned with mysterious runes. On each side, there were hundreds of tiny, star-like dots neatly arrayed.

[Supreme Life-Death Talisman!]

"Goodness, it turned out to be a Supreme Talisman. No wonder it can control Mahayana cultivators!" Yang Ji was inwardly startled.

"The star dots on the talisman are the Life and Death Talismans that have been planted. The fifteen larger dots correspond to the fifteen Mahayana cultivators. The talisman has two sides, one governs life, the other death. To kill, you simply erase a star dot on the black side; to free them, erase a star dot on the white side," Xuan Haisheng surprisingly replied quite frankly.

"Not bad, not bad! You've done well! You will be rewarded. Take this Supreme Divine Power, 'Demon Heart Crossing'," Yang Ji said as he took out a Jade Slip and threw it down.

Xuan Haisheng's expression unchanged, he accepted the Jade Slip and probed it once with his Divine Sense, then tucked it away.

"This guy really has some presence. He acts as if he's the lord of the hall," Mo Yan muttered as she watched Yang Ji sitting at the head of the King's Throne.

"Indeed, not bad!" The Demon Consort nodded with a flicker of appreciation in her eyes.

Watching as Xuan Haisheng and the middle-aged man slowly departed, she put away her mirror, then in a flash, she appeared at the Hall of Heaven and Earth.

Seeing the Demon Consort, Yang Ji hurried down to offer the Life-Death Talisman, saying, "Demon Consort, Xuan Haisheng has successfully brought the entire forces of the Floating Luo Sea under control. This is the Life-Death Talisman that controls them."

"Hmm, you've done well. Go now and cultivate your Divine Skills earnestly," the Demon Consort took the Life Talisman and waved him away.

Yang Ji bowed and turned to leave the great hall. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Taichu World.

Heavenly Demon Sect.

Amidst a sea of clouds, a series of magnificent palaces stretched endlessly. Each one was resplendent, floating in the air like imperial palaces, filled with an air of supreme majesty.

Within the palaces, countless beautiful women flitted about, singing and dancing, all stunning beauties.

The plaque above the gate of the palace read "Mystic Life Heavenly Domain," with an air of reigning over the world.

At this moment, in a domineering grand hall, the atmosphere was filled with murderous intent!

"That Demon Consort actually sent a Demon King to humiliate our lord. Unforgivable!"

"It doesn't matter, as long as we acquire 'Demon Heart Crossing,' it's a good thing. Once I master this Supreme Divine Power, I will no longer fear the mental invasions of the Heavenly Demon Clan. Then, I will definitely refine the Demon Consort into a cauldron and dual cultivate with her.

With the nourishing yin from the Demon Consort, my long-nurtured Profound Yin Demonic Qi will certainly become unimaginably powerful, increasing my chances of overcoming the Dao Calamity," Xuan Haisheng sat on the King's Throne, his pupils deep with hidden ambition.

"Subordinate wishes the lord success in advance!"

"Hmm," Xuan Haisheng nodded faintly.

...

At the Heavenly Demon Sect, Outer Affairs Hall in Taichu.

In a small palace, Yang Ji sat cross-legged, reflecting on his gains over the years.

Now, he had mastered two Supreme Divine Powers, the Three Immortals Formation and the Great Sword Realm Art.

Yet, due to his strong Primordial Spirit, the power he unleashed using 'Yin Yang Separation at Dawn' was even more formidable than the Supreme Divine Powers, so it could be counted as a third.

He had mastered twenty-one Great Divine Skills in total.

In addition, he possessed a powerful vitality that allowed him to regenerate from a drop of blood and an Immortal Body that could revive instantaneously, as well as a Primordial Spirit as strong as a Mahayana cultivator's.

All these formed the foundation of his power.

Yang Ji had meditated in seclusion for three hundred years, originally planning to travel the world in search of opportunities.

Unexpectedly, he ended up at the Heavenly Demon Sect as an undercover agent; now he even had a chance to obtain a Supreme Divine Power from the Demon Consort's hands.

For now, he had no plans to leave.

He was set on gathering intelligence on the Heavenly Demon's invasion of the Taichu World and acquiring the Supreme Divine Power from the Demon Consort.

If he could obtain one more Supreme Divine Power, his foundation would be even stronger, giving him greater assurance in achieving the rank of first direct disciple.

Yang Ji took out a Jade Slip branded with the Great Divine Skill 'Black Cloud Overwhelming' and began to comprehend it.

And so it went.

Years passed one by one.

In the blink of an eye, five years had gone by.

During these five years, the Demon Consort hadn't assigned him any tasks.

But one day, five years later, Mo Yan came to seek him out.

"Hey, whoever you are, are you there?" came a haughty voice from outside.

"Why has she come?" A flicker of light flashed in Yang Ji's eyes as he glanced outside. He slowly got up, walked to the door, and opened it.

"There's a tea party later. As my bodyguard, you will accompany me," Mo Yan said, chin lifted, looking at him.

"Very well, Princess Mo Yan," although Yang Ji was somewhat reluctant inwardly, he still answered with a smile.

"Be cool about it, understand? Don't you dare tremble in front of all the true disciples and embarrass me," Mo Yan ordered with a pout.

"So that's why, I wondered why she suddenly came to me. Having a genius with the bearing of a true disciple as your guard should indeed bolster your prestige," Yang Ji realized and immediately replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Princess. Standing by your side, I certainly won't undermine your commanding presence."
