My Informative Cultivation Life

"A regional commander? How am I in any way qualified for that?"

Yang Ji felt immense joy and quite a bit of surprise internally, but he kept his composure as he responded.

"I've heard that your Ultimate Nightmare has recently reached perfection?" the Demon Consort asked as she raised her eyes.

"Yes, thanks to the Demon Consort's favor, otherwise I would not have had such an opportunity." Yang Ji spoke these words with heartfelt sincerity.

"Not even a hundred years old, yet you've comprehended a Supreme Divine Power to perfection. Such perception is that of True Transmission Talent; you indeed qualify to wield military command," the Demon Consort said coolly.

"To wield military command is a matter of great importance. With my meager strength, being just at the Demon King Realm, I truly feel apprehensive.

How can I deserve such favor from the Demon Consort?" Yang Ji hadn't expected the Demon Consort to make him a regional commander; after all, in his view, one would have to be at least equivalent to the Fusion Realm, a Demon Lord, to qualify for such a position.

"Do you know who can enter the core of our Heavenly Demon Sect?" the Demon Consort suddenly inquired.

"This subordinate does not know!" Yang Ji had been with the Heavenly Demon Sect for over a hundred years, but indeed, he did not know.

"To enter the core of our Heavenly Demon Sect, one must look at strength and at potential. Although you do not possess the strength of a Demon Emperor, you have the talent of True Transmission, and have initially qualified. Now, I appoint you as a regional commander also as a way to temper you."

"Actually, such things are not uncommon in our Heavenly Demon Sect. Our sect is powerful, with influence across the Myriad Realms, with branches everywhere. Before achieving True Transmission, some Emperor's Children are sent out to temper themselves.

If they do achieve True Transmission, they will return to take charge of a palace, cultivate their own power, and the sect will bestow upon them greater rights. If their strength is outstanding, the power of an entire realm under their jurisdiction would not be surprising."

"In our Heavenly Demon Sect, talents with True Transmission Talent hold a position of utmost supremacy. As long as they don't die prematurely, they are destined to become Demon Gods with Supreme being. All below the Demon Emperor must greet and pay respects when they see you."

"You used to be an unknown soldier, but now you must learn to adapt to your new identity, understand?" the Demon Consort stated plainly.

"This subordinate understands, thank you, Demon Consort, for your support." Yang Ji said gratefully, deeply bowing in respect.

"There are many with True Transmission in our sect, and there are quite a few Demon Children as well, but each has their own power and trusted confidants. You are someone I discovered personally, so naturally, I won't be stingy with resources at hand. As a person of the Demon Consort, you mustn't diminish my prestige out there, understand?" the Demon Consort stated with a hint of authority.

"This subordinate understands!" Yang Ji affirmed, his voice steady.

"Among those under my command with True Transmission Talent and whom I regard highly, there are not many. Including you, there are only five, and all have gone to the Taichu World to temper themselves and become regional commanders."

"Since this Life-Death Talisman was obtained from Xuan Haisheng, you shall now go to the Floating Luo Sea in the Taichu World to take charge. My Demon Emperor underling was slain by Great Sage Mu Yuan, and they are in need of a commander; that shall be you."

The Demon Consort said this and threw the Dao Talisman.

Yang Ji reached out to catch it, his heart surging with emotion. This talisman, capable of controlling eighteen Mahayana Cultivators, was just handed to him so freely.

What he held was not just a talisman, but tangible supreme authority.

"Here is also a Command Troops Talisman, the symbol of your potential for True Transmission and your status as a commander. Holding this token, ten Demon Lords and a million Demon Soldiers in the Floating Luo Sea will be under your command.

With this token, all Heavenly Demons in the Taichu World must maintain due respect when they see you, and you can even sit as equals with ordinary Demon Emperors."

The Demon Consort paused for a moment and continued firmly, "Remember, the Commander's Seal must not be lost, as it is the symbol of your authority as a commander."

With that, she threw a black token engraved with "Heavenly Demon Sect" on the front and "Taichu Foreign Affairs Palace" on the back.

"Thank you, Demon Consort, for your recognition!" Yang Ji said excitedly, truly moved this time, not pretending. Ten Demon Lords, a million Demon Soldiers, and all the forces in the region of the Floating Luo Sea had become his to command, and at that moment, he truly wanted to strut about with pride.

He also had not expected that the Demon Consort's authority would be this immense; it appeared that indeed, all the Heavenly Demons within the entire Taichu World were under her dominion, her subordinates.

Yang Ji held two Command Troops Talismans, with one Life-Death Talisman to control all the experts of the forces around the Floating Luo Sea for his use.

But this Commander's Seal that governed the Heavenly Demons was not a controlling device, but a symbol of identity; Yang Ji was just worried that upon arriving there, if his strength was not enough to command respect, and if the Demon Lords and Demon Emperors under his command were to secretly defy him, it would be troublesome.

Considering this, Yang Ji asked, "Demon Consort, with my modest strength and without any imposing heritage or background, not being a son of a Demon Emperor or Demon God, what should I do if those under my command do not follow orders?"

"That's for you to figure out with your own means and ability, otherwise, how would you be tempered?" the Demon Consort glanced at him and responded indifferently.

Yang Ji's gaze flickered as he quickly understood the Demon Consort's intention.

"Cultivate diligently, perform your duties well, and if you do achieve True Transmission in the future, you might even be tasked with overseeing all matters of an entire realm. Then, numerous Demon Emperors and Demon Lords will have to heed your orders. How to gain the loyalty of your subordinates is also an art; take this opportunity to learn well," the Demon Consort advised.

"What the Demon Consort says is true," Yang Ji nodded in agreement.

"I promised you before that if you comprehended a Supreme Divine Power to perfection within a hundred years, then I would bestow upon you another Supreme Divine Power. Tell me, which one would you like?" With a wave of her hand, fifteen Jade Slips appeared in mid-air, and the Demon Consort looked down at Yang Ji as he made his choice.
