Eternal Life as False Emperor

The Canglan Realm, although vast, is actually not that large when you think about it.

For those great power cultivators, even a distance of ten thousand miles isn’t considered very far.

It’s almost impossible to keep secret the discovery of a secret realm or some special treasure from everyone.

What’s more, the Star Sea has found such a secret technique that can enhance all disciples’ strength in a short time. If it were found within a secret realm, it would be even harder to conceal from anyone.

Jiangg He shook his folding fan and said, "I heard a piece of news; I just don’t know if it’s true or not."

The other three people’s eyes lit up and urged him hurriedly.

"Fellow Daoist Jiangg, please share it with us?"

"If it’s too far-fetched a rumor, then forget about it."

"If this news is true, it could definitely fetch a good price."

Jiangg He laughed and said, "I’m not sure if it’s true or not. But compared to other news, I find this one a bit more credible."

"Not long ago, the Nether Spirit Race suddenly launched a surprise attack on us. A cultivation sect was even directly annihilated by the Nether Spirit Race, this you all know, right?"

Qiu Ming was full of disappointment: "What kind of news is that? The Nether Spirit Race not only launched a frontal attack on us, they even dispatched experts to attack our sect disciples who were training outside."

"One disciple from our Chibi Mountain was once ambushed in this way. At that time, they were in a very dangerous situation; apart from him, a Star Sea disciple, and a Five Villages Mountain disciple, everyone else died in battle."

"Even they wouldn’t have made it back if it weren’t for a noble lady helping them by chance."

Now it was Jiangg He’s turn to be surprised: "So, Brother Qiu should know more than I do."

Qiu Ming was puzzled: "Know what?"

From the look on his face, he seemed unaware of what happened next.

They knew each other well and understood that Qiu Ming was quite proud and not in the habit of paying attention to others’ affairs, so they didn’t think he was intentionally hiding anything.

Jiangg He continued with a smile: "From what I understand, the person who saved them later came to the Star Sea along with Elder Wenn."

"He had only been in the Star Sea for a few days when suddenly the Star Sea introduced such a powerful cultivation technique..."

Qiann Wanrong’s eyes lit up: "Fellow Daoist Jiangg, are you implying that this cultivation technique was given to the Star Sea by that mysterious person?"

Jiangg He shook his head: "I just find it quite a coincidence that right after that person arrived, the Star Sea unveiled a new cultivation technique..."

Zhang Hua slammed the table: "Brother Jiangg is right, in this world, there are no such coincidences. I also think this matter must be related to that person."

Qiu Ming couldn’t sit still. He was supposed to be the one most familiar with the sequence of events, yet now he knew nothing about it.

"I’ll immediately send a message to the sect to ask what’s going on."

If Zheng Yi knew Jiangg He could deduce so much just from a few snippets of news,

he would certainly think that not all cultivators in the Canglan Realm were brainless fools.

When the few of them left after eating and paying, the shopkeeper at Wenling Inn told them with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, your bill has already been settled by the people from the Star Sea."

Seeing this, they didn’t say much more, after all, it was just a meal.

Qiann Wanrong was so happy his face was full of smiles as he fiddled with his abacus non-stop: "Good, good, good, we saved a bit here again."

Zhang Hua rolled his eyes helplessly and dragged him out: "It’s just a meal, can’t you be more ambitious?"

From far away, the shopkeeper could still hear Qiann Wanrong’s disdainful voice: "What do you know? Save a bit here, save a bit there, and soon it’ll add up to a super-grade spirit stone."

The major sects have a much more detailed understanding of the Star Sea’s situation than ordinary cultivators do.

After all, they all knew that Wenn Ziyan personally went to Wenxian Temple to recruit Zheng Yi.

Many people initially scoffed at this.

A sect leader actually disregarded their status to recruit a junior cultivator at the Crystal Stage.

Although they later learned what Zheng Yi had done,

while marveling at Zheng Yi’s mysterious means, many people still looked down on him.

After all, the cultivators of the Canglan Realm are accustomed to ranking people based on their cultivation levels. Strategies and plans are seen merely as clever tricks.

That’s why, even though Zhou Yan’s attempted recruitment of Zheng Yi on behalf of Five Villages Mountain failed, no one blamed him.

In fact, many people in Five Villages Mountain shared Zhou Yan’s view.

After all, how could just a clever cultivator be worthy of Five Villages Mountain approaching first?

Later, after Zheng Yi arrived at Star Sea, he directly broke through from Crystal Stage to Golden Core Stage.

But those people’s thoughts didn’t change much.

Though the Golden Core Stage could certainly be considered strong, in smaller sects, even counting as a master,

but in the eyes of major sects, it’s just like that. There are many Golden Core Stage cultivators, aren’t there?

But up to now...

Each sect, without exception, regretted their choices.

They learned that what Zheng Yi offered was merely a cultivation technique for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment.

Though basic techniques aren’t significant to those skilled in Divinity Transformation Enlightenment Dao, it doesn’t mean such foundational techniques are unimportant.

The more cultivators a sect has reached Foundation Establishment, the stronger the sect becomes.

Even if thousands of cultivators are cultivated, only a few might reach Divinity Transformation or Golden Core.
