Eternal Life as False Emperor

After suppressing the arrogance of these people, Zheng Yi calmly said, "I just heard what our sect disciples have said."

"You all suspect that the cultivation techniques we have provided from the Star Sea are incomplete."

"You are worried that after cultivating these techniques, there might be some hidden dangers you are unaware of, which could cause you to be targeted in the future, am I correct?"

Even though there were quite a few Golden Core Stage experts here, whose cultivation was definitely not inferior to Zheng Yi’s.

Yet, no matter who it was, they all felt as if Zheng Yi’s gaze was falling upon them.

It wasn’t the kind of pressure a strong person exerts on a weaker one, but they couldn’t help feeling a tingling sensation on their scalps.

Zheng Yi waited for a while, and seeing no one answered his question, nodded and said, "Since no one is speaking, I will assume you all have this thought."

"Since I’ve brought this up, I don’t intend to hide it from you. To tell you the truth, these secret techniques are indeed incomplete, and the most crucial part is still in the hands of our Star Sea."

As soon as Zheng Yi finished speaking, the place buzzed with an uproar.

Though the cultivators hadn’t fully believed in this suspicion, since these two cultivation techniques seemed quite complete on the surface, they never expected there would actually be something amiss.

Hiding behind the main gate, Wang Haiwong started sweating upon hearing this. He wanted to step out and stop this but feared disrupting Zheng Yi’s plan: "There’s clearly nothing held back, what on earth is Elder Zheng trying to do?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a woman’s voice rang out: "Presumably, at this point, no matter how it’s explained, no one would believe it, right?"

"I see..." Wang Haiwong suddenly realized and then turned around, instantly shocked, "Sect... Sect Leader, why are you here?"

Wenn Ziyan’s eyes were filled with a sinister aura: "Of course, I’m here to see just how many people are being ungrateful."

Although she seemed to be smiling brilliantly, the murderous aura around her was so intense it felt almost tangible.

Even a Divinity Transformation expert like Wang Haiwong involuntarily swallowed, thinking to himself, "The Sect Leader’s strength seems to have increased, it shouldn’t be long before she truly breaks through to the Enlightenment Stage, right?"

Outside the Star Sea’s main gate, Zheng Yi waited for these people to whisper among themselves for a while before continuing in a loud voice: "The reason we, the Star Sea, put these two cultivation techniques out is because recently the Nether Spirit Race has frequently attacked our Human Race, trying to provoke a full-scale war between the two races."

"When that time comes, even if there’s one more cultivator among us humans whose cultivation can be raised, it’s part of our Human Race’s strength."

"Considering the future of humanity as a whole, our Star Sea prioritizes the bigger picture and thus makes such exquisite cultivation techniques public."

As soon as Zheng Yi finished speaking, someone in the crowd feigned disdain and said, "If your Star Sea is so noble, why not bring out the complete cultivation techniques? I think you have ulterior motives."

His words instantly received support from many people.

"That’s right, since you’ve taken out the cultivation techniques, why not take out the entire set?"

"It’s all about trying to glorify yourselves, isn’t it?"

"Either bring out the complete cultivation techniques, why do things in such a petty manner?"

Because Zheng Yi directly admitted that the cultivation techniques shared by the Star Sea are incomplete, many cultivators standing on the Star Sea’s side didn’t see much issue with it.

However, for a while, morale was low, and they didn’t know how to stand up and support the Star Sea.

Zheng Yi, as if suddenly enlightened, nodded and said: "What you all say makes sense too, us at the Star Sea do handle things a little too fussily."

Everyone was taken aback.

They couldn’t quite comprehend what was happening.

Wenn Ziyan and Wang Haiwong couldn’t understand why Zheng Yi was performing so poorly, acknowledging fault after just a couple of casual criticisms?

Those forcing the Star Sea found themselves in a bind; they had originally envisaged many scenarios.

The only thing they hadn’t expected was that the person sent by the Star Sea to handle this matter would apologize to them so easily.

After the shock, a look of greed appeared on everyone’s faces.

Originally, they thought Zheng Yi was a tough character, but it turned out he was easily pushed around. If so, wouldn’t it mean more benefits to gain?

The cultivators who originally supported the Star Sea were stunned, feeling like they’d been stabbed in the back.

Then next moment, they heard Zheng Yi firmly say: "Our act of arbitrarily distributing the cultivation techniques, indeed, was too inconsiderate."

"We have been presumptuous, never considering other cultivators’ perspectives, nor understanding the situations they might face."

"I hereby represent our Sect Leader in ordering that these two secret manuals be put away, so no one has to worry about any hidden dangers after learning from our manuals."

"Someone, come over. Remove these sources of distress for our fellow daoists."

"Yes, Elder." The gatekeeper disciple, being an honest person, actually picked up a giant stele and started walking back.

Though the stele was enormous, for a Crystal Stage cultivator, it was no different from a feather.

Therefore, the gatekeeper disciple departed swiftly.

Zheng Yi, intentionally wearing an apologetic face, cupped his fist toward the surrounding cultivators: "Fellow daoists need not worry, we’ll handle this right away."

This time, everyone was dumbfounded.

They intended merely to pressure Star Sea, not to actually have Star Sea retract the cultivation techniques.

Although these two cultivation techniques didn’t contain many words, some people hadn’t finished reading them yet.
