Eternal Life as False Emperor

This time is different from before, they’re really going for the kill.

Ouyang Luo, unwilling to be captured without a fight, instinctively summoned his flying sword to counterattack.

"Damn it, this kid still dares to retaliate, he must have something up his sleeve!"

Ouyang Luo was so frustrated; these people all came with the intention of seriously injuring him.

If he doesn’t fight back, wouldn’t he be crazy? It has nothing to do with feeling guilty, okay?

"Stop, my father..."

He was just about to reveal his father, a Divinity Transformation Expert, to intimidate the crowd.

The next moment, three flying swords darted toward him from different directions.

Then came all sorts of fireballs, wind missiles, lightning, and various secret techniques and divine powers.

Ouyang Luo only symbolically blocked a couple of attacks before being overwhelmed by an onslaught of attacks.

"Ah..." His scream was cut short, leaving only silence.

"Fellow cultivators, please stop. Let’s leave him alive; we want to find out the mastermind behind this." Even Zheng Yi had not expected these people to be so enthusiastic.

Initially, he thought it would be good if even one-third of them took action.

But in reality, aside from a very few, most people had a go at Ouyang Luo.

Such a dense barrage of attacks; let alone Ouyang Luo, even Zheng Yi might end up in a sorry state if he were next.

After Zheng Yi managed to hold back the others, he looked over to where Ouyang Luo had been...

Goodness gracious, if he hadn’t known in advance who was there, no one could have recognized that pile of ashes as Ouyang Luo.

"Senior, we truly have nothing to do with this person."

"I am very grateful to the Star Sea for providing this cultivation technique for our study; I’ve never doubted the Star Sea."

"I swear..."

After dealing with Ouyang Luo, the cultivators present all pleaded with Zheng Yi, hoping he would continue to allow them to study the two cultivation techniques.

Zheng Yi deliberately remained silent, his head lowered as if in deep thought.

Everyone anxiously awaited Zheng Yi’s reply.

Those who had already finished studying the techniques were fine, as they could basically memorize these two entry-level cultivation techniques.

Others had just arrived and hadn’t even had a look yet.

The ones in the most unfortunate situation were probably those who had only seen part of it.

From that part, they could all feel the power of these two techniques.

But if the Star Sea refused to continue making them public, they’d have to start cultivating with just that half or even less content.

Although they could potentially get the remaining content from other cultivators who had read the techniques...

The techniques have been public for quite some time, and quite a few cultivators have already finished reading them, so acquiring them shouldn’t be too difficult.

However, obtaining the needed content from others would certainly require a price.

Many people regretted it so much that their guts turned green.

Finally, Zheng Yi spoke.

But his response sank everyone’s spirits: "Perhaps it’s better we don’t proceed. After all, not being able to publish the entire cultivation techniques is our fault. We shouldn’t cause unnecessary worry among cultivators."

"Anyway, these two techniques are just Foundation Establishment Qi Cultivation level; they should be nothing significant for you all."

The cultivators wanted to vomit blood.

Most of them are loose cultivators, unlike sect disciples who can systematically cultivate; they can only practice whatever techniques they can get their hands on.

Whether they are the lowest-tier techniques that don’t even interest sect disciples, or heart methods that don’t align well with their cultivation system, they have to practice diligently.

Because for them, there’s virtually no choice.

Now that they’ve finally come across two techniques that almost anyone can cultivate and that have no prerequisites, how could they willingly give them up?

Moreover, according to many cultivators who have practiced these two techniques, they are actually stronger than they imagined.

"Please have mercy, Senior, we really need these two techniques."

"But," Zheng Yi looked troubled, "if we at the Star Sea have left any hidden dangers in these two techniques, wouldn’t that harm you all?"

The cultivators immediately started talking over one another.

"We trust that the Star Sea would never do such a thing."

"These techniques are surely complete and without any issues. It’s us people who are unworthy, definitely not the Star Sea’s fault."

"I can guarantee that we will never cause trouble for the Star Sea, no matter the issues encountered while cultivating these techniques."

"Yes, yes! We swear."

"We are choosing to cultivate voluntarily; the Star Sea has already helped us greatly by providing these techniques. We wouldn’t be so shameless."

Under the "strong requests" of the crowd, Zheng Yi finally reluctantly said, "Since you all insist so strongly, our Star Sea cannot let our fellow cultivators down."

"You there, bring the stone tablet back."

The gatekeeper disciple then moved the stone tablet back to its original position.

The cultivators present, although they didn’t get the benefits they wanted, at least could continue to cultivate the two techniques unconditionally.

Previously, people had been picky about these free benefits.

Now, having experienced Zheng Yi withdrawing the techniques, these people suddenly became extremely considerate and understanding.

"This..." Wang Haiwong watched, mouth agape, at all of this; what seemed like an incredibly troublesome situation was resolved so easily by Zheng Yi.

The previously dissatisfied people not only lost their dissatisfaction but were instead all grateful and appreciative.
