Eternal Life as False Emperor

I originally thought Zheng Yi was just a cultivator who accidentally came to the Canglan Realm from another world. Although he was exceptionally cunning, his strength was only so-so.

I never expected that each time I saw this guy, he would bring surprises.

Zheng Yi being able to teach his cultivation techniques to Star Sea was already quite impressive in Wen Ziyan’s eyes.

But now, Zheng Yi is actually willing to directly share his cultivation techniques with all cultivators in the Canglan Realm. Just this generosity is unique among men Wen Ziyan has encountered in her life.

As the leader of Star Sea, Wen Ziyan has a far more vision than these elders.

She almost didn’t think for long before leaning towards agreeing to Zheng Yi’s proposal.

After all, strictly speaking, this matter doesn’t harm Star Sea much.

It’s Zheng Yi who brought out the cultivation techniques, and after they are shared, Star Sea’s disciples can still cultivate them.

"Elder Zheng, are you really willing to share your cultivation techniques with all cultivators in the Canglan Realm?" Wen Ziyan’s eyes burned as she stared at Zheng Yi, waiting for his answer.

If it were anything else, Zheng Yi might hesitate a little. But those cultivation techniques are things he wrote casually.

It doesn’t matter if others practice them.

Moreover, this is equivalent to giving him more references so that he can better analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the techniques he created and improve them.

Since Zheng Yi himself has agreed, Wen Ziyan naturally has no need to continue hiding. With a big wave of her hand: "Since Elder Zheng has no objections, let’s publish them directly."

Lin Junrong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sect Leader, Elder Zheng, are we publishing one cultivation technique or...?"

Zheng Yi replied cheerfully: "Publish both techniques at once; these two techniques complement each other and yield better results when cultivated together."

No sooner had he spoken than Zheng Yi found himself the center of attention among these elders.

Wang Haiwong said gloomily, "Can these two techniques be cultivated together?"

Zheng Yi nodded: "They are meant to be practiced together; haven’t I mentioned this before?"

The elders were exasperated.

They really wanted to point a finger at Zheng Yi’s nose and question him: "When did you ever say that?"

Though they also practiced both techniques simultaneously, they had always done so separately, never considering combining them.

Some elders did notice these two techniques seemed to have a subtle connection.

But since these were techniques created by Zheng Yi, they weren’t particularly familiar with them and didn’t dare to mess around.

Today, upon hearing they could be practiced together, it was only natural they’d be frustrated.

Now that the decision had been made to publish the techniques, the elders took their leave one after another.

They all wanted to try practicing the two techniques simultaneously according to Zheng Yi’s instructions to see the results.

"Zheng Yi, come with me." Wen Ziyan grabbed Zheng Yi’s hand and led him to her room.

What it meant naturally didn’t need further explanation, and soon the distance between the two became negative.

Just as they began dual cultivation, Zheng Yi noticed something different.

After the dual cultivation with Wen Ziyan, he received a surge of exceedingly familiar spiritual qi.

This spiritual qi turned out to be the essence cultivated from the Nine Yin Scripture and Nine Yang True Technique he had created.

"What is this?" Zheng Yi was quite astonished. He was familiar with the spiritual qi, but he himself hadn’t practiced the two techniques he had created.

After all, taking the trouble to cultivate these two techniques wouldn’t be as quick as naturally channeling the Pristine Human Emperor Body.

However, after being nurtured by Wen Ziyan, this spiritual qi underwent an earth-shattering transformation.

Normally, after dual cultivation, Zheng Yi would need considerable time to refine those forces into truly his own.

Yet the forces refined from these Nine Yin and Nine Yang techniques seem just like those Zheng Yi had cultivated himself, easily mastered with a single thought.

This unexpected delight was completely unforeseen even by Zheng Yi.

However, it was precisely because of the seamless absorption that Zheng Yi was worried about potential side effects.

After just one dual cultivation session, Zheng Yi did not heed Wen Ziyan’s attempts to retain him and returned to his room to sit and examine thoroughly.

He meticulously checked the spiritual qi acquired from dual cultivation with Wen Ziyan.

"It appears there’s no problem." After two full hours, Zheng Yi slowly opened his eyes.

Zheng Yi could now fully confirm there were no issues with this spiritual qi. Not only was it exceptionally pure, but using it was almost like using his own spiritual qi.

Although constrained by his own cultivation level, he couldn’t absorb too much of this spiritual qi at once.

Still, as long as he engaged in dual cultivation once, until the spiritual qi was depleted, he could be counted as an expert at the Divinity Transformation stage.

"Can it really be this way?" Even Zheng Yi himself couldn’t help but be amazed.

Of course, like ordinary spiritual qi, Zheng Yi could use dual cultivation techniques to gradually refine this spiritual qi.

Even if ultimately only a fraction—one percent, or even a thousandth—of this powerful spiritual qi could truly be refined, the spiritual qi would allow Zheng Yi’s strength to increase rapidly.

Even Zheng Yi’s calm temperament was moved to remark: "This step was truly the right one."

In the days that followed, Zheng Yi focused on three things.

Dual cultivating with Wen Ziyan to boost both their strengths.

Spending three hours refining the spiritual qi returned by dual cultivation.

Then, heading to the Star Sea’s Scripture Pavilion to study techniques created by Golden Core experts.

The techniques of the Golden Core stage were so numerous that despite his prolonged research, Zheng Yi had only covered about two-thirds of them.

Zheng Yi’s days passed peacefully and fulfilled.

But the cultivators of the human race in the Canglan Realm were in chaos.

The cause of it all was, of course, Star Sea making public the techniques Zheng Yi created.

Star Sea directly engraved the techniques Zheng Yi created onto two stone tablets.

Since the content of the two techniques wasn’t extensive, each stone slab stood less than three meters tall.

One tablet was engraved with the Nine Yin Scripture, and the other with the Nine Yang True Technique.

At this moment, all who were in Star Sea knew the details of these two techniques.

Yet precisely because of this, they were all the more shocked.

"What’s going on here? Have the people of Star Sea gone crazy, giving away such powerful techniques?"

"What else could it be? How many have tried sneaking into Star Sea to steal the manuals over the past few days? It’s predictable that more will come. Their actions are simply to avoid trouble."

"Nonsense! This is Star Sea, not some third-rate sect. Not only a few loose cultivators; if really provoked, even disciples of major sects might not make it out alive! Do you think they’d be scared?"

"If it’s not fear, then why would they release the manuals?"

"I suspect these manuals might be fake; everyone should be cautious and not be deceived."

"Judging a gentleman’s integrity by a villain’s mindset, sinister fools see everything as conspiracies. You useless fool, what’s there for Star Sea to plot?"

Regardless if in trust or doubt, all were scrambling to memorize the two techniques.

Who knows if Star Sea would reconsider and revoke the techniques?

If they hadn’t finished studying, wouldn’t they lose out?

Since these were all rather strong cultivators, the more they studied, the more they felt the prowess of the techniques.

"Damn, these techniques actually seem genuine!"

"Star Sea actually truly made such powerful techniques public for everyone to practice."

"I, Zhang Tianqi, owe Star Sea a favor. In the future, regardless of what Star Sea or its disciples ask, I will not hesitate to risk life and limb."

"I, Shepherd’s Record..."

"I myself..."

Many cultivators who finished studying the two techniques directly pledged to repay Star Sea.

Of course, more people, after memorizing the techniques, quietly left.
