Eternal Life as False Emperor

In the eyes of others, Zheng Yi seemed to be casually flipping through these Cultivation Techniques.

With the speed at which he read books, it seemed he hadn’t even clearly looked at the content above, just turning the pages as if he had finished reading.

However, in reality, Zheng Yi was not just reading.

In the process of reviewing these techniques, he had already automatically completed a cultivation process according to the technique he flipped through and learned it.

This was mainly because of the Pristine Human Emperor Body.

The essence of these cultivation techniques is to unblock the meridians within the human body, increasing the speed at which a cultivator can absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

But the Pristine Human Emperor Body directly allowed Zheng Yi to skip this process.

Although each of these techniques he examined was different, many contained some ingenious ideas.

Otherwise, these techniques wouldn’t have been placed in the Scripture Pavilion of the Star Sea.

However, these are all the lowest level techniques after all.

Even if Zheng Yi learned them at a glance, these techniques were of no use to him.

If cultivating these techniques, it would actually hinder Zheng Yi’s cultivation.

Of course, these techniques aren’t without any merit, as they are the most fundamental techniques.

For the first time, Zheng Yi genuinely gained a general idea of how to cultivate.

Due to the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, Zheng Yi wasn’t like other cultivators who started from the very basics, cultivating step by step.

"So that’s how it is." Zheng Yi put down the technique in his hand, having spent two days finishing all three hundred and forty-two Initial Grade Cultivation Techniques of Star Sea.

The reason for such speed is that, although these techniques cover all aspects, because they are the most basic, much of the content is actually common.

At first, Zheng Yi needed to read the entire book. Later, he only needed to read half, then a quarter, or even a fifth.

Because of this, his speed in reading Secret Manuals increased progressively.

This also led more disciples of Star Sea to sneer at him.

"At least he used to pretend to read a few pages, now he’s just purely flipping books?"

"Haha, I used to really think he was studying our Sect’s Secret Manuals, now it seems he’s just flipping through books at random."

"I’m just curious, what’s he trying to do by doing this?"

No wonder they were disdainful.

The way Zheng Yi read books, anyone who saw it would think he had some issue.

Standing in front of the bookshelf, picking up a book, flipping through it from start to finish with a swish. So quickly that others couldn’t even see the Secret Manual’s name clearly.

After reading, he put it back and picked up the next one, reading it at the same speed and then putting it back again.

An entire bookshelf of Secret Manuals, others would be struggling for half an hour just to find one suitable for their current cultivation. But Zheng Yi had already finished reading all the Secret Manuals on this bookshelf.

No one could possibly believe he could truly see the contents of the Secret Manuals.

Because of Zheng Yi’s strange behavior, many Star Sea disciples pretended to come to the Scripture Pavilion to browse the Secret Manuals.

It was just to satisfy their curiosity, to see what on earth this Honored Elder at the Crystal Stage was doing.

Not only the disciples, but even a few Elders, upon hearing about this, also found excuses to come and have a look.

They found that Zheng Yi was merely casually flipping through techniques and doing nothing else.

So they didn’t say much more.

Although many were dissatisfied with Zheng Yi before, after dual cultivation, no one had any objections to him.

As long as Zheng Yi didn’t do anything detrimental to Star Sea, regardless of what he did, they would turn a blind eye.

After Zheng Yi finished reading all the basic techniques of Star Sea, he stood motionless in front of the bookshelf with his eyes closed.

In his mind, he was already fully assimilating these techniques.

The drawbacks of these techniques were automatically discarded by him, and he evaluated which techniques held inherent advantages in certain aspects, whether such advantages could be optimized, or if better approaches could be developed in other areas.

The more he thought, the more he felt that these seemingly basic techniques contained tremendous depth.

Many techniques seemed imperfect, yet were immensely beneficial for those laying their foundations.

Some techniques appeared very powerful but actually carried great risks within.

These techniques were suitable for a majority to cultivate, yet some were only suitable for a few.

Through these techniques, Zheng Yi seemed to see the creators of these techniques deeply pondering during their creation.

"Interesting, interesting, but it’s clear that you all have overlooked some issues."

The world of cultivators is harsh; those who can cultivate become superior beings, while those who cannot are regarded as mere ants.

For this reason, even though there is a vast number of fundamental techniques, they were often created by someone for their own cultivation.

This is also why, in many cultivation worlds, as one progresses, the level of power feels lower instead.

Because ninety-nine percent of cultivators use cultivation Secret Manuals that aren’t wholly suitable for them.

"Is anyone there? Bring me paper." Zheng Yi shouted without turning his head.
