Let's say you have a Transcendence and Yawgmoth's Bargain in play,

Can I do this:

Pay 1 life(Triggering Transcendence): Draw a card  ===>Putting everything on the stack, including the gain life thing and repeating this again and again... then before letting everything resolve, demystify the transcendence?

Can I do that?

wouldnt the demistify be on top of the stack nullifying the whole thing? Im not sure, just a guess. i dont understand the stack well enough.

Because of the wording on Transcendance, it will trigger every time a player has priority, so even if you Demystify it, it will just infinitely trigger above that, until you draw out your deck, or lose to the trigger.

So you mean to say:
i have 11 life...
i can pay let's say 10 life, stacking the 10 transcendence trigger and 10 draw a cards then demystifying it...

I still gain 20 life and draw 10 cards?

Which next turn, enabling me to draw additional 10 cards and to bring back my life to where i started... with 11 life...

yes

once an ability goes on the stack it is independant of its source so even if its source leaves play it will still resolve
