Eternal Life as False Emperor

"We want to see the complete authentic cultivation technique."

"Your Star Sea is one of the top prestigious sects, don’t be so petty. Show us the complete technique, and we will be grateful for your kindness."

The gatekeeper disciple was almost infuriated to death, wishing he could slaughter these shameless folks.

Let’s not even mention if they held back any crucial parts; even without that, these are top-tier cultivation techniques.

In the past, for these two techniques, those loose cultivators would have risked their lives without obtaining them.

Now they’re given to cultivate for free, yet these people dare to be so insatiably greedy.

There are still some more honest cultivators.

"Aren’t you people a bit over the line?"

"Look at your greedy faces, such exquisite techniques that you didn’t even dare dream of before; now that you’re allowed to cultivate them, you still aren’t satisfied."

"Shameless, I’m ashamed to associate with you."

Soon, the cultivators in front of Star Sea divided into two opposing factions.

The majority were like Ouyang Luo, greedily accusing Star Sea of hiding things.

A minority knew Ouyang Luo’s demands were too excessive.

Ouyang Luo’s eyes glinted with a cold sneer, then discovered a ’new continent’: "I said Star Sea definitely harbors ill intent, these people must be their pre-arranged personnel."

Among the cultivators supporting Star Sea, someone spat in rage, "Can you have some dignity? You dare spout such nonsense? I swear to Canglan Netherlord, I have no relation with Star Sea whatsoever."

Another angrily cursed, "Stop flattering yourselves, do you think you’re worth the trouble for Star Sea to plot against you? How about you take a good look at yourselves?"

"Taking someone’s things and then biting the hand that fed you, do you really have the right to cultivate? Aren’t you afraid of attracting a heart demon during your tribulation?"

A series of righteous admonishments made the cultivators, vastly outnumbering them, lower their heads shamefully.

After all, the cultivators who hadn’t yet succumbed to greed in such a critical moment were mostly those righteous individuals...

Seeing this, Ouyang Luo provoked again: "Don’t be fooled by them, these guys are clearly bought by Star Sea. They’re speaking like this because they’ve received perks from Star Sea."

"All we want is for Star Sea to provide a truly complete technique. Otherwise, if someone gets hold of the key to the technique, we’d be at their mercy."

"We’re not trying to harm anyone; we just don’t want to be harmed by others."

"Doesn’t the major sect Star Sea understand this principle? No! They understand it better than anyone, but even so, they still released two techniques with crucial parts hidden..."

Ouyang Luo didn’t say the rest, but everyone understood his implication.

Originally planning to take advantage of the chaos, they intended to use the momentum stirred by Ouyang Luo to force Star Sea to yield more benefits.

Now, they naturally didn’t plan to retreat easily.

"Are the elders of Star Sea not here? Come out and give us an explanation."

"We mean no harm, we just want an explanation."

What they didn’t know was that inside the hidden mountain gate, Wang Haiwong was watching them with a dark expression.

"These greedy scum!"

"Human nature is such, it’s not surprising." Zheng Yi, standing beside Wang Haiwong, looked at the troublemakers with a half-smile.

Originally, Wang Haiwong was prepared to go out immediately to explain the situation, but was stopped by Zheng Yi, who came to join the excitement.

When the gatekeeper disciple went to notify Wang Haiwong, he was chatting with Zheng Yi in the Scripture Pavilion.

Zheng Yi had been cultivating these days, and upon seeing such an incident, thought it a chance to change the mood.

Wang Haiwong ground his teeth, "I never expected them to be grateful to our Star Sea, but these ungrateful wretches take so much from us and still aren’t satisfied."

"At worst, we report to the sect leader, retract the techniques, and if they have the skills, they can obtain them elsewhere."

Zheng Yi shook his head with a bitter smile, "Doing so would not only not help the current situation, but it would also make many people bear a grudge against our Star Sea."

"By the way, do you know that guy?" Zheng Yi pointed to Ouyang Luo, who was trying hard to lower his presence in the crowd.

Now that those people have been incited by him, he naturally wouldn’t be the one to stand out.

"It’s Ouyang Luo, the young master of Qingzhu Mountain, not a major sect, but his father Ouyang Qi is a peak of Divinity Transformation expert, only a notch below our sect leader in strength."

"But ultimately, it’s a small sect, lacking foundation, except for a peak Divinity Transformation expert, Qingzhu Mountain has no notable figures."

Zheng Yi asked again, "Does our Star Sea have any grievances with Qingzhu Mountain?"

"None, Qingzhu Mountain is far from Star Sea, and besides, we have no interaction with such third-rate small sects, let alone any grudges."

After hearing Wang Haiwong’s answer, a glint of icy sharpness flashed in Zheng Yi’s eyes, "In that case, I’m afraid we’ll have to thoroughly investigate Qingzhu Mountain."

Seeing Wang Haiwong’s puzzled expression, Zheng Yi said speechlessly, "Don’t you think his actions are too deliberate?"

"If he were just greedy himself, now with everyone’s greed incited by him, wouldn’t this be the perfect chance for him to showcase?"

"If we really wanted to quell this matter, surely we’d offer the ringleader more benefits."

"But now, although the matter is done, he wants to sneak away, risking offending Star Sea to cause such a commotion, yet choosing to retreat when about to reap the rewards, don’t you think there’s something fishy here?"

Wang Haiwong suddenly understood, "Elder Zheng is right, this guy indeed seems suspicious. I’ll have him caught and interrogate him severely right away."

Daring to set up Star Sea, Wang Haiwong was now determined to eliminate this young man.

"That’s unnecessary." Zheng Yi stopped Wang Haiwong once again.

"If you act now, wouldn’t that confirm our Star Sea indeed has issues?"

Wang Haiwong snorted coldly, "So what? Our Star Sea is one of the top sects in Canglan Realm, are we really afraid of these loose cultivators?"

"If it weren’t for the upcoming war, based on their actions today, our Star Sea could chase them to the ends of the earth."

Zheng Yi secretly approved, although the sect was predominantly female, Star Sea’s approach was quite decisive.

"Though there’s no fear, it’s not necessary. If Elder Wang doesn’t mind, how about leaving this matter to me?"

"Gladly." Wang Haiwong was overjoyed.

They all understood Zheng Yi’s skills by now.

With his brains capable of playing the Nether Spirit Race to a standstill in their own territory, they together were no match.

Zheng Yi stretched his muscles and slowly walked out of the Star Sea gate.

Upon crossing the array, his figure quickly appeared in everyone’s eyes.

"Look, someone from Star Sea is here."

"Is he an elder from Star Sea?"

"Doesn’t look like it, seems a bit too young, right?"

"But the key is his cultivation level, this guy seems to be only at the Golden Core Stage."

Zheng Yi is currently mid-stage Golden Core, but because his spiritual qi is so vast, unless their strength vastly surpasses his, his cultivation is seen as Golden Core Peak."

Wearing a golden dragon robe, Zheng Yi clasped his hands to those around, "Fellow cultivators, I am an elder of Star Sea."

"I wonder why you are gathered here, what advice do you have for Star Sea?"

Zheng Yi’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it resounded like celestial thunder in everyone’s ears, deafening.

Accompanying his voice, an awe-inspiring authority spread around, making his presence intimidating.

The cultivators present, regardless of their cultivation level, were involuntarily made to retreat several steps by such a pressuring aura.

Some even couldn’t help but have their legs go weak and instinctively kneeled down.

Luckily, they were all cultivators; although they couldn’t fully resist instinct, they could quickly counterbalance it with cultivation.
