Eternal Life as False Emperor

With the improvement of one’s own strength, and becoming more confident, is there still a need to fear this or that?

"If that’s the case, then I’ll trouble you." Wenn Ziyan gave Zheng Yi a look that men understood, put on her clothes, and left the room.

Outside the door, Lin Junrong was there waiting anxiously.

Seeing Wenn Ziyan come out, Lin Junrong immediately approached her: "Master..."

But before he could finish, his lips were sealed by Wenn Ziyan’s lips.

After a long while, the two separated.

"This is for the sect, and also for ourselves. Ever since you entered the Divinity Transformation Stage, your cultivation has been at a standstill; today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"There’s nothing to worry about. After all, he’s just a man. Treat him like a pig and focus solely on cultivation."

Although Zheng Yi witnessed this scene, he didn’t pay it much attention.

Their objective was the same: to enhance their cultivation as much as possible. There was no time for other distractions.

In just one day, Lin Junrong’s cultivation broke through, directly reaching mid-stage Divinity Transformation.

Even she didn’t expect that the decades-long hindrance would be so easily overcome.

Everything seemed so matter-of-course, as if she was originally a master of mid-stage Divinity Transformation.

"This probably has little to do with me." Zheng Yi discussed Lin Junrong’s breakthrough with Wenn Ziyan.

Advancing to a new realm means facing the perilous baptism of celestial tribulation, which is fraught with life-threatening dangers.

Yet even the enhancement of a smaller realm is by no means an easy task.

The higher one’s cultivation, the harder it becomes to raise even a small realm.

It’s like a circus performer walking a tightrope, carrying a car on the wire.

A slight mistake leads to endless doom.

"Even though Elder Lin’s cultivation saw a great improvement after the breakthrough."

"She clearly hasn’t given up. With every session of cultivation, she gives her utmost effort, striving for the best."

"It is likely because of this that Elder Lin’s accumulation is so deep, leading to a smooth breakthrough after the hindrance was overcome."

In the following days, besides the unavoidable dual cultivation with Wenn Ziyan and the elders of Star Sea, Zheng Yi devoted all his energy to refining the reciprocating Spiritual Qi.

Whatever the case, both Wenn Ziyan and the elders are at the Divinity Transformation Stage in cultivation.

This rocketed Zheng Yi’s strength, allowing it to improve rapidly.

In just four days, having just passed his celestial tribulation, Zheng Yi’s cultivation had already reached mid-stage Golden Core.

If other cultivators knew about Zheng Yi’s speed of cultivation, they’d be insanely envious.

Why is it they have to spend a year or two stabilizing their current realm after advancing beyond the Golden Core?

The subsequent cultivation requires the effort of dripping water penetrating stone, day and night. Even if they occasionally obtain any heavenly and earthly treasures, the effect on their growth is quite limited.

Even those cultivators with outstanding talent don’t expect to approach the threshold of Divinity Transformation within fifty years.

And even if the cultivation is adequate, it’s not something that can be broken through immediately.

Ninety-nine percent of cultivators, upon reaching the Golden Core Peak, must first suppress their cultivation.

Preparing for the tribulation requires collecting magical artifacts, elixirs, and the like.

Even disciples from major sects can avoid lots of trouble in this regard, but preparing these items still relies on luck.

Some people’s bad luck drags on for twenty or thirty years.

There are even those who, due to sheer inertia, lose their immortal fate, forever wandering in the Golden Core Stage.

"Tell me, do you have some kind of ancient fierce beast hidden inside you? Otherwise, how could your cultivation grow so quickly?" Wenn Ziyan, holding Zheng Yi’s hand, scrutinized him up and down.

Unfortunately, after a long look, she still found no clue.

Zheng Yi, amused and exasperated, withdrew his hand: "Sect Leader, you should know best about my situation."

"The reason my cultivation can improve so fast is thanks to you and all the elders."

"If not for you all, no matter how hard I trained, I couldn’t reach such speed today."

Wenn Ziyan grasped Zheng Yi’s pulse point, and a gentle but powerful flow of Spiritual Qi circulated through him.

"The energy is solid, the meridians smooth, without any sign of chaotic qi. It seems you’ve truly mastered this power."

"How do you manage to control such enormous Spiritual Qi so effortlessly?"

Before Zheng Yi could answer, Wenn Ziyan waved it off: "I was just casually asking, no need to answer."

This question was already probing into others’ cultivation secrets.

After blurting it out, Wenn Ziyan regretted it, lest this abrupt question affect their cooperation.

If Zheng Yi left the Star Sea, he’d still be honored as a guest by other sects.

But losing Zheng Yi would mean Star Sea misses a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.

Zheng Yi smiled indifferently: "There’s no need for concern, Sect Leader. It’s not an earth-shattering secret. When I first started cultivating, my elders examined me and said my meridians were much tougher than most cultivators."

"This allows me to endure more Spiritual Qi than others."

The part about a system naturally wasn’t something he could tell Wenn Ziyan. Thus, Zheng Yi fibbed with a half-truth.

After all, it wasn’t a secret that needed to be tightly kept. Since she asked, there was no need to conceal it.

Appropriate openness can also foster trust.

"Don’t mind, right?" asked Wenn Ziyan.

Zheng Yi gave her a nonchalant look.

In the next moment, Zheng Yi suddenly felt a piercing pain in his wrist, as if pricked by needles.

This pain appeared and vanished quickly, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"You rascal." Wenn Ziyan lightly punched Zheng Yi’s chest: "I’m really suspecting, are you a bastard child of the Heavenly Dao? How come all good things happen to you?"

Zheng Yi’s meridians are almost equivalent to hers, a master at the peak of Divinity Transformation.

Even if Zheng Yi hadn’t encountered any fortuitous events, just with these meridians, his cultivation speed would be several times faster than others.

If she could have these meridians, Wenn Ziyan swore she’d trade anything for them.

"Oh right." Wenn Ziyan suddenly remembered something, with a cheeky grin: "Don’t you want to consider Elder Wang?"

Just thinking about Wang Haiwong’s wrinkled old face, Zheng Yi couldn’t help but shudder.

"Sect Leader, please spare me, I’m a normal man."

Though the dual cultivation journey in Canglan Realm was enjoyable, it wasn’t without issues.

The cultivators here would sacrifice anything for cultivation.

At first, it was female cultivators he paired with, which was all fine.

But Zheng Yi never imagined that even Wang Haiwong would want in on this excitement.

Even though Wang Haiwong was indeed a normal person, just hoping that this opportunity might give him a chance at the supreme Enlightenment Stage.

But clearly, Wang Haiwong was thinking too much.

While Wang Haiwong might be willing to go to such extents, Zheng Yi had no interest, rejecting him outright.

Therefore, whenever Zheng Yi ran into Wang Haiwong, the latter looked at him with a gaze akin to seeing someone who starts and then abandons relationships.

In response, Zheng Yi only avoided him.

These days, he simply secluded himself for focused cultivation, ignoring everything else.

Nether Spirit Abyss!

In a gloomy palace, the Azure Moon Flame Emperor gritted his teeth and roared: "I disagree. If we are to deploy troops, we must attack from the direction of Wenxian Temple."

The Barbaric Bull Power Emperor rumbled: "Azure Moon Flame Emperor, how long are you going to keep this up? Our purpose for mobilizing this time is to completely annihilate humans, not to play house."

"Wenxian Temple is isolated and has impassable roads; if we want to attack that place, we can only launch an assault from Two Realms Mountain."

"Putting other things aside, even if we capture Wenxian Temple, how will we transport supplies afterwards?"

"Are we going to haul everything over the mountain?"
