Chapter 247: Tian Jizi's Tremor, The Transformation of the Rail Wooden Box_2
```
With this cluster of the Origin of Demonic Qi, after Shen Yin absorbed and transformed it into a Primordial Spirit Fruit, Yang Ji, upon refining it, could surpass the top Mahayana in the strength of Primordial Spirit in one fell swoop.
This would save him countless years of arduous cultivation.
Which filled him with joy.
Seeing that Yang Ji had accepted the Origin of Demonic Qi, Tian Jizi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Yang Ji owed him a favor; he was worried Yang Ji wouldn't accept his kindness.
"Young friend, you must be heading to the Realm of Extreme Void this time, aren't you?" Tian Jizi asked.
"Senior's divination skills are unparalleled. My itinerary is surely clear to you like the palm of your hand!" Yang Ji replied with a laugh.
"Young friend is kidding!" Tian Jizi waved his hand and said, "The journey to the Realm of Extreme Void is long and arduous, through vast stretches of empty space, desolate and barren, without the flourishing civilization of cultivators, and without any Teleportation Arrays laid out along the way. With your level of cultivation, it would probably take nearly a thousand years to fly there.
I happen to be travelling to the Realm of Extreme Void, so how about I take you and your companions part of the way?"
"That would be a great help, Senior!" Yang Ji was overjoyed and didn't bother with formalities, thanking him immediately with a bow.
"Young friend, you're being too courteous; it's just on the way!" Tian Jizi let out a rare smile, then threw the compass from his hand in front of him and enlarged it quickly beneath everyone's feet.
In the blink of an eye, with the symbols flashing, it tore through space, whisking them all away at great speed.
Their speed was several times faster than that of Xuan Zhong, the Nine Tribulations Immortal!
In this manner, it would take only a decade or two to reach the Realm of Extreme Void.
Yang Ji couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Tian Jizi had still restrained the power of the Destiny Compass; otherwise, they could have traveled even faster.
Because of Tian Jizi's presence, the Ragged Wooden Box was so annoyed that he itched to jump out and tear him apart on the spot.
It was so frustrated and filled with resentment that it couldn't calm down.
At the same time, Tian Jizi's appearance also shook it to the core, frantically sending a message to Yang Ji, "Yang lad, what is under your feet, is it really the Origin Supreme Treasure, the Destiny Compass?"
"If it really is, that's an incredibly fortunate opportunity."
"It is said that among all Magical Treasures in the world, the Destiny Compass is the most mysterious, the most profound, capable of divining the secrets of heaven and tracing back to the origin."
"Once this news gets out, even the Ancestor of Origin would emerge to fight over it to the death; this is much stronger than any Immortal King Artifact, Dominator Artifact, and even the Three Thousand World-Subduing Treasures."
"Hurry, let me out so I can smack this lad with my palm and take his treasures!" the Ragged Wooden Box roared, clearly harboring a deep grudge.
"Previously, I was going to let you out, Senior. But now, it's not necessary." Yang Ji helplessly spread his hands.
"Quick, let me out! If it comes to it, I don't want the Destiny Compass, I'll give it to you!" the Ragged Wooden Box growled incessantly.
"This is someone else's fateful opportunity; we can't just hack it away, can we?" Yang Ji was unmoved.
"This is the Destiny Compass, an Origin Supreme Treasure! Do you understand the meaning of these four words 'Origin Supreme Treasure'? Origin, lad, that's even a bit better than the Three Thousand World-Subduing Treasures. Aren't you tempted? Aren't you lying to yourself?" the Ragged Wooden Box bellowed.
"The Three Thousand Origin Supreme Treasures and the Three Thousand World-Subduing Treasures each have their own mysteries and strengths. I am content with the Immortal Peach Tree and the Taichu Divine Tree; I don't wish to be greedy." Yang Ji smiled, "Besides, I was just speaking off the cuff, how have you become more convinced than I am that this is the Destiny Compass?" Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
"..." The Ragged Wooden Box faltered.
Yang Ji continued leisurely, "Origin Supreme Treasures possess immense spirituality, their strength comparable to an Immortal King, and they choose their own masters. If it's not your opportunity, even if I let you out, you won't be able to obtain it."
"And do you really want to come out now?"
"If you truly wish to come out, then I'll release you. I've faced the tribulation of the Destiny Tribulation; if I hide my destiny, others would find it difficult to divine my fate, and it would be hard for them to trace the cause and effect between you and me."
"I might be alright, but once you come out, the major figures of the Immortal Realm will likely sense your presence right away. If you got sealed again, you wouldn't fall into my hands."
"Consider the consequences carefully!"
"..." The Ragged Wooden Box faltered again, feeling a chill down its spine, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Well played, lad. With just a few words, you've become my protector. But you make sense. I've been sealed for too long, trapped in a three-foot wooden box, and I've been somewhat stuck in a rut, blind to the outside world. Now that you've pointed it out, it's awakened me."
"If you, lad, have a chance to become a Dominator, it won't be too late to release me then. After being sealed for so long, I don't mind a little while longer."
"Staying by your side allows me to enjoy some leisure and tranquility. I can also take this time to refine my Great Dao, carve my own path, and achieve the status of a Supreme Immortal King!"
Thus, the Ragged Wooden Box changed its mind and became calm.

"However, Yang Ji, if this truly is the Destiny Compass, aren't you tempted? You are the one who has slain the existence of Destiny Tribulation. If you were to obtain this Destiny Compass as well, it would truly be a perfect match, allowing you to display the Path of Destiny to its fullest extent and drastically increase your strength,"
"This is not my opportunity; I can't obtain it!" Yang Ji shook his head. It was evident that Tian Jizi's relationship with the Destiny Compass was as personal as his own with Shen Yin. If he tried to seize it by force, how could he possibly succeed as he wished?
Besides, without releasing the being inside the Rotten Wooden Box, how could he, a minor Void Refinement cultivator, dare to covet the Destiny Compass?
Bouncing around in front of an extremely formidable Red Dust Immortal - wasn't that seeking death?
Yang Ji promptly pushed all these thoughts to the back of his mind. Although he was curious how Tian Jizi managed to get his hands on a Supreme Treasure like the Destiny Compass, he didn't ask.
And so, they continued on their journey, flying on the Destiny Compass.
Time also passed year by year.
During this period, Yang Ji and Tian Jizi enjoyed many pleasant conversations, often sharing drinks and becoming increasingly familiar with one another.
Yang Ji once asked about the Seven Tribulations Demon God and received a response.
It was indeed someone sent by Liu Xiaosheng.
No lies surfaced above Tian Jizi's head, and Yang Ji mostly believed him.
Time hurried by.
Five years, eight years, ten years, twelve years.
Finally, at the fifteenth year, they arrived at the Realm of Extreme Void.
Tian Jizi, seemingly casual but intentional, stopped in the starry sky not far from the Life and Death Realm. Yang Ji knew that Tian Jizi wasn't just passing by; he was doing him a favor.
"Young friend, this is as far as I can take you. If fate allows, we shall meet again!" Tian Jizi said to Yang Ji.
"Thank you for your help this time, senior. I will keep your kindness in my heart," Yang Ji replied with a bow.
Tian Jizi nodded, then the Compass beneath his feet turned, and he disappeared into the void.
"Yang Ji, why not first visit the Time Fissure and raise your cultivation to the peak of Mahayana before proceeding?"
The Rotten Wooden Box suddenly spoke up.
It seemed afraid; it used to hope someone would come to kill Yang Ji, so they could release it.
Now, it prayed that no one would come to kill Yang Ji. Falling into the hands of others, it would be uncertain what fate awaited it and, after changing hands a few times, if it ended up with the big shots of the Immortal Realm, it would be finished.
"No rush, let's first head to the Life and Death Realm and ponder over the 'Seal of Life and Death' for over a hundred years. Afterward, when the Immortal King Minor World opens, we'll go with Elder Brother Mo Taixu to comprehend the Ten Directions Strangling.
Once the eight hundred years pass and the Immortal King Minor World closes, we'll take advantage of this interval and retreat to the Time Fissure for eight hundred years. With the external world's time passing at one-twentieth the rate, inside it would be a full sixteen thousand years – with such ample time, it's more than enough for me to achieve the peak of Mahayana,"
Yang Ji had his plans and reassured the Rotten Wooden Box, "There's no need to worry; five Red Dust Immortal Elders from my Xian Ding Sect are stationed here, and with Elder Brother, the strongest in the Realm of Extreme Void, here, no one would dare to attack me."
"When I reach the peak of Mahayana, or even become a Tribulation Immortal, by then, with the World-Stabilizing Treasure Wings of Time-Space activated, I'll be able to travel anywhere in the vast world. With such speed, I reckon no one will be able to match me."
"Even if a Red Dust Immortal strikes at me, even if I can't win, I can still escape."
"Alright then!" The Rotten Wooden Box had nothing further to say.
Yang Ji nodded and immediately activated the Wings of Time-Space, flying towards the Life and Death Realm.
With a single flap of the wings, he pierced through the realm barrier, diving straight into it.
Looking out from mid-air, he sensed several powerful presences not far away, including Mo Taixu, Cang Jie, the Elder of Ten Calamities, and Ming Tu, among others.
Beyond them, the disciples of the Six Major Star Pirate Forces and some Mahayana and Tribulation Immortals were also comprehending Immortal Techniques.
Without any hesitation, Yang Ji flew directly towards them and sat down to meditate in front of the Palace of Life and Death.
Those Red Dust Immortals sensed his arrival; Ancestors like Ming Tu merely glanced at him before closing their eyes again.
However, the five elders of the Xian Ding Sect and Elder Brother Mo Taixu nodded at him.
After responding to their acknowledgment, Yang Ji began to comprehend the Immortal Techniques alongside them.
