Eternal Life as False Emperor

Profound Origin Returning to Earth Array.

A large Guardian Array, a Tier Three Array, rumored to be a Sect Protection Array used to guard the sect thousands of years ago.

Consuming a large amount of Spirit Stones can activate it, and hosted by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it forms a giant array capable of withstanding the full-force attack of a Golden Core Cultivator.

Zheng Yi carefully examined the coverage range of this Profound Origin Returning to Earth Array, surprisingly it could encompass both Celestial Longevity Mountain and the entire Capital City.

At the very bottom of the Grand Ancestor's Mausoleum in Celestial Longevity Mountain, lies the array core of the Profound Origin Returning to Earth Array.

Unfortunately, with the path of immortality severed in Great Yu, Spirit Sand is scarce, let alone Spirit Stones.

Even if Zheng Yi gathered the seven strands of Innate Spiritual Qi in the Capital City, Spirit Stones cannot be formed in a short time, relying only on long-term accumulation.

It seems that the three arrays in the Grand Ancestor's Mausoleum are merely for show.

Without Spirit Stones, they cannot be effective.

He shook his head and put away the Jade Scroll.

No matter what, these three arrays are very useful to him.

Once he has Spirit Stones in the future, with the protection of the Profound Origin Returning to Earth Array, he will fear no one, as there are no Golden Core Cultivators in today's Great Yu World.

Doesn't this mean with the protection of the Profound Origin Returning to Earth Array, he would be invincible?

As for Spirit Stones...

They might not exist in Great Yu, but it doesn't mean they don't exist in other worlds.

In the Three Thousand Worlds, there will definitely be Spirit Stones!

The third Jade Scroll was pressed against his forehead, and he carefully meditated.

Quickly, lines of text appeared before his eyes.

"Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture"!

"This is... a Cultivation Technique!"

Zheng Yi's heart trembled sharply, and he quickly checked it.

["Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture": limited to cultivators with Five Elements Spirit Roots for cultivation. Extremely difficult for single attribute Celestial Spirit Root cultivators to master, the more complete the Five Elements Spirit Root, the more suitable for cultivation. Five-attribute Perfect Cultivators are best suited for this technique!]

[Once cultivated successfully, the power of the Five Elements can be controlled. The cycle of the Five Elements is endless. Interactions and restrictions are at the heart. Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water come at will!]

He quickly skimmed downward, the content was complex, with over ten thousand words.

The most important thing is, this "Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture" is actually a cultivation technique that directly reaches the Golden Core Stage!

That is to say, following the cultivation of this "Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture", one can directly reach the Golden Core Stage.

Besides cultivation techniques, this "Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture" also records a large number of spells.

The most important and fundamental spell among them is called: Five Elements Life and Death Technique!

Following the instructions, once a cultivator masters the Five Elements Life and Death Technique, they can cause any spell with different attributes to change constantly according to the intergeneration of the Five Elements under their control, thereby attacking enemies.

For example, if someone else releases a Fire Magic spell, he can use the Five Elements Life and Death Technique to transform this Fire Magic spell into Earth Magic.

Wood is the beginning of the Five Elements; Water is the end of the Five Elements; Earth is the center of the Five Elements. This is the heavenly order.

Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood, this is the father-son relationship.

Besides the Five Elements Life and Death Technique, the technique also records numerous Five Elements Techniques, which he can cultivate!

Zheng Yi continued to scroll down and was surprised to find some annotations.

It is unknown whether these are annotations by the Grand Ancestor Emperor Zheng Mingsen, or were left by the creator of this "Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture".

The content is very simple, just a few dozen words.

"This technique is limited to cultivators with Five Elements Spirit Roots, with Five Elements Spirit Roots being pseudo spirit roots, cultivation speed is extremely slow, requiring the consumption of large amounts of resources and spiritual Qi."

"But once cultivated, the spells will be numerous and the magical power rich, several times that of ordinary single spirit root, dual spirit root, or three spirit root cultivators."

"This technique was left by 'Five Elements Zhenren', a cultivator who was a brilliant flash a thousand years ago. Five Elements Zhenren advanced to the Golden Core with the 'Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture', able to contend with Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Unfortunately, although Five Elements Zhenren was exceptionally talented, he was ultimately a Golden Core cultivator, and his lifespan was limited. He advanced to the Golden Core but for ten years before falling due to the exhaustion of his lifespan."

"If there are cultivators with Five Elements Spirit Roots in the clan, they can cultivate this technique and immediately after becoming a cultivator, marry and have children to give birth to spirit root children to the clan, and then switch to other methods."

Seeing the annotations following the "Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture," Zheng Yi's mouth involuntarily twitched.

In the Cultivation Realm, cultivators with Five Elements Spirit Roots are called pseudo spirit roots, with extremely slow cultivation speeds.

And this "Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture" seems to be a preparation by many Cultivation Clans for pseudo spirit root disciples among their descendants.

Allowing them to become cultivators, and then hurry to have children, giving birth to children with spirit root aptitude?

This...

Zheng Yi's mind withdrew from the Jade Scroll, but his eyes were very bright.

The annotations recorded in the Jade Scroll, though harsh, were completely irrelevant to Zheng Yi.

His lifespan is endless, and he can slowly cultivate this "Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture".

The most important thing is, ordinary cultivators with Five Elements Spirit Roots have lower-grade spirit roots, evenly distributed.

Whereas Zheng Yi's Five Elements Spirit Root can be enhanced by acquiring from other women through the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, it is constantly growing.

In other words, Zheng Yi can completely use the bodies of thousands of women to increase his Five Elements Spirit Roots all to the level of Celestial Spirit Roots!

Five Elements Celestial Spirit Root!

Looking at the Jade Scroll in his hand that recorded the "Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture", Zheng Yi solemnly placed it back in his bosom.

"Your Majesty, the old servant has finished reading it."

Chen Liancang respectfully handed the Jade Scroll to Zheng Yi, his eyes somewhat calm.

Zheng Yi said, "Elder Chen, this technique is not suitable for you, unless some cultivators who wish to make a final attempt before death would turn themselves into a Spirit Corpse."

"Moreover, the Ten Thousand Spirits Corpse Feeding Technique requires a blood sacrifice of thousands born on Yin years, Yin months, Yin days, too much killing, hurts harmony!"

Chen Liancang respectfully said, "Your Majesty, the old servant knows, so the old servant will never choose this technique."

"Everything will be according to Your Majesty's command."

"Good."

Zheng Yi said, "The second Jade Scroll records the map of the Grand Ancestor's Mausoleum and its three arrays, memorize them, and then dispatch people to clean up the entire Grand Ancestor's Mausoleum, deploying heavy guards at critical nodes."

Chen Liancang took the Jade Scroll from Zheng Yi's hand saying, "The old servant obeys the decree."

"Also, the third Jade Scroll records a technique, but it is only suitable for cultivators with Five Elements Spirit Roots and not suitable for you."

Zheng Yi said, "I will check the other two Jade Scrolls in a while, if there are corresponding techniques, I will not be stingy."

Chen Liancang respectfully said, "The old servant awaits Your Majesty's holy decree!"

Zheng Yi pressed the fourth Jade Scroll against his forehead again, and once more lines of text appeared.

"Hmm?"

The content of this jade scroll is not a cultivation technique, but... "Record of Strange Insects."

It's a book recording the appearance, habits, names, and sacrifice methods of hundreds of different spirit insects, akin to cultivation notes.

He carefully examined it; most of the spirit insects he had never even heard of.

He quickly found the Moonlight Gu offered by the Nanyue Race.

"Moonlight Gu: Tier One Lower Grade Spirit Insect, can absorb the moonlight essence to form a Moon Blade, can advance to become a Tier Two Lower Grade Spirit Insect, Full Moon Moth."

"Tier One Lower Grade Spirit Insect?"

Zheng Yi recalled the scene when he performed a blood sacrifice on the Moonlight Gu that day, slowly shaking his head.

According to "Record of Strange Insects," Moonlight Gu can be promoted to a Tier Two Lower Grade Spirit Insect, Full Moon Moth.

However, with his blood sacrifice ignoring his lifespan, the Moonlight Gu actually advanced to a Blood Moon Gu!

Both the power and potential were greatly enhanced.

I wonder how far it will grow in the future?

The fifth jade scroll, Zheng Yi pressed it against his forehead, and soon another piece of content appeared before his eyes.

Cultivation technique!

Another cultivation technique!

Out of five jade scrolls, there were actually two cultivation techniques.

Moreover, this cultivation technique...

He examined it carefully, his heart slightly moved.

"Netherworld Scripture!"

The front of the cultivation technique content had annotations.

And looking at the content, it was indeed from the hand of Great Yu Ancestor Zheng Mingsen.

"Our Zheng Clan ancestor was an inner sect disciple of one of the Ten Ancient Great Demon Sects, Netherworld Sect, specially passing down 'Netherworld Scripture' to be preserved in the world, but due to years of war and unfilial sect disciples within the clan, 'Netherworld Scripture' only remains from the Qi Cultivation Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage."

"Even the magic of the Nascent Soul Stage is missing. If any descendants of the clan are fortunate enough, they can collect the complete 'Netherworld Scripture' and hold the token of an inner sect disciple of Netherworld Sect to return to the Netherworld Sect!"

"Netherworld Sect?!"

Zheng Yi suddenly opened his eyes, carefully recalling the content recorded on the fifth jade scroll that had been exchanged.

The Great Yu Zheng Royal Family was actually established by an inner sect disciple of a sect called Netherworld Sect.

Netherworld Sect...

Just hearing the name, it doesn't sound like any renowned and righteous sect.

One of the Ten Ancient Great Demon Sects!

Its sect has a secret technique that transforms the human body into a zombie form, which doesn't surprise Zheng Yi at all.

This Netherworld Sect... Where exactly is it?

Has it vanished in the river of history like the Mayfly Sect, or has the entire sect been exterminated, journeying across the ocean to other places?

He again examined the content of "Netherworld Scripture," according to the recorded cultivation technique content, "Netherworld Scripture" requires cultivating in Extremely Yin Land, with cultivation bringing one into a near-death state, the power of Extremely Yin Spiritual Power is immense.

Moreover, it will convert one's magical power into extremely cold Extreme Cold Magical Power, possessing great power when casting magic of ice attribute, water attribute, wind attribute, poison attribute, etc.

The various sinister and evil spells of the Netherworld Sect recorded therein are also abundant, causing Zheng Yi to furrow his brows.

"Netherworld Sect, Netherworld Sect..."

Zheng Yi murmured, "According to the cultivation technique records, the supernatural power that the Netherworld Sect cultivation technique excels in is precisely Life and Death Transformation, Corpse Manipulation and Soul Control. I wonder if anyone lives to this day?"

What cultivation technique should I practice?

Now, Zheng Yi has two options before him.

The first one, "Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture."

This technique is upright and peaceful, with no danger during cultivation.

Although advancement is slow, he has almost endless longevity and can cultivate slowly.

Unfortunately, this cultivation technique only goes up to the Golden Core Stage, further cultivation techniques have to be found or developed by oneself.

And the second one, "Netherworld Scripture."

Not only does it have all the content from the Qi Cultivation Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, but it also records a large number of high-power magic.

However, the drawbacks are also obvious.

To cultivate this technique, one needs to stay in Extremely Yin Land for years, gradually eroding one's flesh and blood.

Moreover, Extremely Yin Land contains Yin Evil Qi, affecting the cultivator's mind, causing the cultivator to become extreme in personality, transforming into neither human nor ghost.

While contemplating, Zheng Yi's eyes suddenly moved.

No way!

I still have a third cultivation technique!

"Spirit Eating Technique!"

Obtained from the strange cultivation technique in the Spirit Pool world of the Illusionary World.

This cultivation technique advances quickly, and can also nourish flesh and blood, filling the body with spiritual energy, it's very peculiar.

The main point is, it comes from the Spirit Pool World, having only the Qi Cultivation Stage, and no subsequent cultivation techniques.

Zheng Yi had only tried this before.

Who knows what unknown weaknesses might exist in this cultivation technique obtained from the Spirit Pool World, where demons rear the human race?

"Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture," "Netherworld Scripture," "Spirit Eating Technique!"

These three cultivation techniques, Zheng Yi's eyes blazed, eventually gazing upon "Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture."

He has endless longevity, no need to cultivate flawed and dangerous techniques.

And the "Netherworld Scripture" and "Spirit Eating Technique," they can just be passed on to Chen Liancang to cultivate.

In fact, even his Shadow Guard, Imperial Guard, Embroidered Uniform Guard, Imperial Guard, Emperor Faction members, as long as they possess a spirit root, can cultivate!

"Alas, the subordinates are still too few ah, within the entire Imperial Court, counting even Huan'er and others, there are only five or six people with spirit roots..."

"Hmm?"

Zheng Yi furrowed his brows, suddenly thinking of something, "Something's not right."

"How come there are so many mortals with spirit roots in the Spirit Pool World?"
