Chapter 305 Primal Qi, Surprises Galore
The Demon Consort led the way, with Yang Ji following behind.
Soon, the two arrived deep within the Heavenly Demon Sect, tearing through space and entering a small world.
Yang Ji was somewhat astonished by the richness and purity of the Demonic Qi here, which was extremely conducive to cultivation.
The thick Demonic Qi formed a mist, and not far ahead, a grand and imposing palace built entirely of Black Gold came into view, exuding tremendous grandeur.
"This space is connected to the Demon Realm, which is why the Demonic Qi is so thick and pure. The great hall up ahead is where the treasury is located. Follow me," said the Demon Consort, who was clearly well-acquainted with the place and effortlessly led Yang Ji to the front of the treasury.
Before they could get close, the ripples stirred in the air surged forward, revealing a semi-transparent Barrier.
Immediately after, with a flash of black light on both sides of the door, two Demon Lords appeared, evidently powerful guardians of the treasury.
"Demon Consort!" The two Demon Lords were extremely polite, bowing their hands in greeting to the Demon Consort, who was also a Demon Lord.
This showed that the Demon Consort's status within the Heavenly Demon Sect was far from ordinary. Not only was she a genius who had slain ten Dao Calamities, but she also boasted a substantial background, with a father who was the Demon Ancestor.
"And this is?" The two Demon Lords paused, turning their gazes to Yang Ji.
Judging by the aura emanating from Yang Ji, he too was a Demon Lord. Yet, despite being from the same sect, they had never seen him before.
"He is Hei Sha from the Taichu's Foreign Affairs Palace. Having become a Demon Lord, he is here to select a treasure from the treasury," said the Demon Consort indifferently.
"Brother Hei!" The two greeted politely, cupping their hands.
"I have seen the two Demon Brothers," Yang Ji also returned the greeting.
"Since he is a person of the Demon Consort, he must be well aware of the rules. Please, come in," said the two Demons, gesturing with their hands.
"Hei Sha, go ahead. Release the aura of a Demon Lord and let the Barrier sense and examine you. If there are no abnormalities, you may enter," instructed the Demon Consort.
"Barrier examination?" Without showing any visible reaction, Yang Ji glanced at the Barrier and paused for just a moment before walking slowly towards it.
Before coming here, he had made calculations, which indicated no danger on this journey, but rather a significant opportunity.
He trusted his Destiny Transfiguration Technique and assumed there would be no issues as he approached the Barrier.
As he pressed his hand against it, mysterious runes instantly appeared on the Barrier, animated and enveloping him, scrutinizing back and forth.

Yang Ji had bolstered himself with the Destiny Transfiguration Technique, a spell far more subtle than the Transformation Technique of the Heavenly Demons, transforming his entire being into a Heavenly Demon and making it difficult for anyone to see through him.
The Barrier checked him for more than a dozen breaths—its runes flickered, but they didn't detect anything amiss, dissipating after a short while.
"Brother Hei, you have passed the Barrier's examination. Push open the doors of the treasury and walk straight inside," said one of the Demon Lords.
Yang Ji nodded and moved forward slowly, pushing open the doors of the treasury. Instantly, a flood of treasure lights hit him in the face.
At a single glance, countless treasures filled the view, quickening even someone as seasoned as Yang Ji's breath.
Demonic Artifacts floated in the air one after another, radiant in a spectacle of colors and emitting a brilliant light.
Medicine Pills were piled up like mountains of golden sands, each perfectly round and without flaw, with Pill Fragrance wafting in the air.
Demon King Stone, Demon Embryo, Nine-Transformation Demon Herb, Tequila Fruit, Bone-Eating Nether Eggs, Dark Shadow Immortal Gold, Yin Yang True Crystal, Emerald Nether Wave, Wind Thunder True Sand, Muscle-Toning Jade, Crimson Phoenix Immortal Sand, Three Pure Immortal Bamboo, Mysterious Demon Divine Oil, Mystic Herb of the Void, Setting Sun Demon Bud, True Demon Fruit...
Myriads of treasures met his eyes, relentlessly assaulting his senses.
Yang Ji could hardly take in everything before him; the abundance of treasures up ahead seemed to stretch beyond sight.
Even after witnessing the treasury of the Myriad Realms Commerce Alliance, his heart still trembled at the sight.
The wealth of the Heavenly Demons exceeded his imagination—absurdly wealthy indeed.
But considering that this treasury was shared with the Devil Realm's Sky Devil Sect, Yang Ji felt a bit more at ease.
With abundant resources in the Demon Realm, plus the ancient years of the Heavenly Demons plundering the heavens and seizing many treasures throughout the Myriad Realms, such wealth was normal.
Seeing so many treasures, Yang Ji's heart instantly ignited with eagerness.
He could take any of the treasures before him. Though he could only choose one, he indeed had the privilege to take it.
With that thought, he grew even more excited.
He must choose well, for opportunities like this were rare, and even Demon Lords had only one chance. Wanting to come again might be... impossible next time.
"Since this place shares a treasury with the Devil Realm's Sky Devil Sect, the valuable treasures must not be limited to these. Let's look ahead," said the Rotten Wooden Box.
"Exactly my thoughts!" Yang Ji said with a smile, leaping up and flying forward.
He had glanced over the countless names of treasures, but he didn't stop, promptly flying onward.
The treasures, though extraordinary, failed to satisfy Yang Ji.
He sought a Supreme Treasure akin to the Magic Tree in the hands of the Demon Consort, not just a piece of Immortal Gold.
Not to say that Immortal Gold was bad; it's just that Yang Ji's aspirations were higher.
After all, there was only one chance, and he could not afford to choose carelessly.
"Look, the demonic light ahead is so intense and blinding. That must be a Supreme Demonic Artifact," exclaimed the Immortal Elder.
"A Supreme Demonic Artifact?" Yang Ji's spirit shook with excitement, "Indeed, the treasures are all placed at the very back."
Just as he dashed toward the Supreme Demonic Artifact, his form suddenly halted, stopping in mid-air.
In the space before him, there appeared to be no obstacle, yet under his gaze, the word "Barrier" flickered into sight.
