Eternal Life as False Emperor

Bai Zhirui agreed and immediately brought the paper and brush to Zheng Yi.

"Why are you here?" Zheng Yi was slightly surprised.

Bai Zhirui expressed concern, "I’m here to check on you, Master. You’ve been standing here motionless for an entire day, are you alright?"

"Has it been that long?" Zheng Yi was somewhat astonished.

In his perception, it felt like at most half an hour, he hadn’t expected it to be so long.

No wonder those powerful cultivators can go into seclusion for decades or even centuries.

Bai Zhirui nodded vigorously, as if to prove she wasn’t lying.

Zheng Yi didn’t explain further. He picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, pondered for a moment, and began to write on the paper.

"The spirit aligns, the breath returns to the origin, the mind tranquil and energy full, all apertures unify..."

Having written the core heart method mantra at the beginning, Zheng Yi dipped the brush in ink again and quickly began writing out the cultivation technique.

This was a basic cultivation technique Zheng Yi had just attempted to create on his own.

Unlike other techniques in the Star Sea’s Scripture Pavilion, this technique could be practiced by anyone with a talent for cultivation, regardless of how high or low their aptitude was.

Zheng Yi was already quite noticeable, and now writing something in the Scripture Pavilion naturally drew everyone’s attention.

"Look quickly, what’s he doing?"

Seeing that Zheng Yi had no intention of avoiding them, the Star Sea disciples gradually became bolder.

Many sect disciples with relatively good aptitude were visibly shocked just from seeing the beginning heart method mantra.

"This... Is this a cultivation technique?"

"This technique seems unfamiliar. Is it from our sect?"

"Nonsense, if it’s not from the sect, could it be his self-created one? You can’t possibly have seen every technique."

"But what’s the point of copying an entry-level technique here?"

"Who knows what this guy is up to?"

"It can’t possibly be for cultivation, right? Elder Zheng is a master at the Crystal Stage; these entry-level techniques shouldn’t be useful to him."

"Although I don’t know what Elder Zheng is doing, I’m certain he’s not writing a sect technique."

"How do you know it’s not?"

"Because I’ve read all the sect’s basic techniques; this one definitely isn’t among them."

"Stop talking, take a good look at this technique’s content. I can assure you, if you can grasp just two or three tenths of it, it will greatly benefit your future cultivation."

"Nonsense... Senior Sister Li."

Upon hearing someone praise Zheng Yi’s writing, many instinctively began to retort.

But before they could finish, seeing who was speaking, the retorts vanished.

Because the speaker was among the outstanding young generation of Star Sea, a young master who had already reached the Golden Core Stage.

If a Golden Core Stage master says Zheng Yi’s technique is extraordinary, it’s definitely not nonsense.

Several of the newly-initiated disciples secretly felt lucky.

Originally, they only came for some excitement, but didn’t expect to encounter such a benefit.

Bai Zhirui wanted to intervene but ultimately didn’t.

After all, with her master’s meticulous conduct, if this needed to be kept secret, he wouldn’t have written it here.

Soon, Zheng Yi had finished writing this self-created technique.

Unlike other techniques, this technique Zheng Yi created contained barely over a hundred words and was written in just two or three pages.

Due to its minimal content and the core heart method mantra being at the beginning,

even as Zheng Yi finished writing, the surrounding Star Sea disciples memorized this cultivation technique secret manual.

If they lacked even this level of ability, they wouldn’t qualify to join Star Sea.

After finishing the last stroke, Zheng Yi threw the brush on the desk: "Prepare some food for me, I’m hungry."

He turned and left.

Though it was just a basic technique, Zheng Yi gained considerably.

From then on, he truly embarked on the path of cultivation, rather than merely using the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror as a golden finger to quickly boost his cultivation.

As soon as Zheng Yi left, the Star Sea disciples immediately surrounded the place, wanting to examine Zheng Yi’s written technique a few more times.

Even though they had memorized the content, being cautious was always wise, lest they made any mistakes.

"Everyone, halt!" Just as the scene was about to become chaotic, the voice of Senior Sister Li suddenly reprimanded sternly.

With a wave of her hand, a barrier appeared out of thin air, blocking everyone.

She scrutinized the technique on the table with a complex expression: "Go get the elders immediately."

As a Golden Core Stage cultivator, her insights far surpassed those present.

The newbies at most felt this technique was more understandable compared to other sect techniques.

But Senior Sister Li could clearly sense how formidable this technique was.

If she’d practiced this technique when she first entered, her current cultivation level could have advanced at least one more realm.

Soon, the elder responsible for managing the Scripture Pavilion was called in: "Don’t you all know what this place is? How dare you make a ruckus here, it’s really disre..."

Before he could finish, he saw the technique Zheng Yi left on the table, and the ink on the paper hadn’t even dried yet.

"What is this? What the hell!" Just a glance made the Scripture Pavilion elder blurt out a curse uncontrollably.

Star Sea Council Hall.

All the elders gathered around a table, with the technique Zheng Yi had written before them.

By now, this technique had been cautiously trimmed and wrapped in a cover.

This technique spanned only two or three pages, appearing extremely thin.

Yet these mere hundred words seemed as weighty as mountains in the elders’ eyes.

"Are you saying... this technique was left by Elder Zheng?" Lin Junrong knitted his brows, full of puzzlement.

"Did Elder Zheng say anything?" Wang Haiwong’s voice trembled slightly: "Is this technique for Star Sea?"

The Scripture Pavilion elder shook his head with a wry smile: "I don’t know either. Elder Zheng just read books in our Scripture Pavilion for several days, then suddenly wrote this technique today. Who knows what he means."

Another elder speculated: "Do you think there’s something wrong with it?"

"What could be wrong, you’ve seen the technique. It’s incredibly suited for Qi Cultivation or Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators."

"I really want to know, who exactly created this technique, it’s terrifying."

"Though this technique appears plain, with nothing particularly outstanding about it, it’s excellent for laying a foundation. With consistent practice, it can definitely amass strength over time."

"If I weren’t in the Divinity Transformation Stage now, I’d definitely practice it too."

"You’re all missing the most crucial point. This technique is so simple, just a glance and it’s unforgettable."

"Putting aside whether this technique has any issues, even if it does, would you prevent the disciples from practicing it?"

This sentence left all the elders silent.

The technique was so excellent that they had already decided to let their disciples practice it.

With their level of cultivation, they couldn’t see any problem with it.

Chances are, there wasn’t an issue.

If Zheng Yi could deceive even them, then they’d just have to accept their bad luck.

The group discussed for a long time but couldn’t decide how to handle this technique.

Finally, Lin Junrong made the decision: "What’s there to argue, let’s just ask Zheng Yi directly, right?"

"Don’t forget, Zheng Yi is also an elder of Star Sea now."

Just after finishing his meal, Zheng Yi felt a bit confused when all of Star Sea’s elders came to him.

Seeing their serious, combat-ready expressions, Zheng Yi asked puzzledly, "What’s this about, gentlemen?"
