Eternal Life as False Emperor

Zheng Yi closed his eyes and thought carefully, beginning to consider the focus of his next entry into the Illusionary World.

Should he continue to stay in the Spirit Pool World to search for that peculiar baby red date, or should he find a way to deal with Liuu Ling'er and Liuu Miao'er?

See what new developments might arise after dealing with these two women.

"Baby red date, Snake Demon..."

"I still have a long lifespan ahead, there's no need to fixate on dealing with Liuu Ling'er and Liuu Miao'er right now, I should focus on exploring the Spirit Pool initially!"

"Those two demonesses can be postponed for a while..."

Having made up his mind, Zheng Yi no longer hesitated.

However, he did not continue to enter the Illusionary World, instead, he chose to rest.

Early the next morning, Zheng Yi arrived at Jiaofang Hall and found Noble Consort Cui.

"Your Majesty wants Fasting Pills?"

Noble Consort Cui asked strangely, "Is Your Majesty about to make a breakthrough?"

"Yes."

Zheng Yi nodded and said, "I've had some insights in recent days, it might be due to the influence of the Underground Palace, it's about time for a breakthrough."

Noble Consort Cui said, "Congratulations Your Majesty! Best wishes Your Majesty!"

"With one more step, Your Majesty will be a Qi Cultivation Third-layer Cultivator!"

"At that time, you can start refining Magical Artifacts, but unfortunately, none of us know Artifact Refining, and we don't have additional Magical Artifacts."

"Magical Artifacts?"

Zheng Yi's expression shifted as he thought of something.

Previously, when Fayuan attempted to assassinate him, he had dropped a Magical Artifact called the 'Thousand Illusions Glazed Painting'.

According to Noble Consort Cui's speculation, that Thousand Illusions Glazed Painting is most likely a Top-grade Magical Artifact.

Over such a long time, the Fayuan aura and Restrictions left on the Thousand Illusions Glazed Painting have long since disappeared, it's time to refine it.

And also...

The Ancestral Zombie in the Underground Palace, being a cultivator, might have Magical Artifacts hidden in the palace as well.

Unfortunately, until now, none have been found, it's unknown where he might have hidden them.

It looks like Chen Liancang will have to diligently search for them.

"Your Majesty."

Noble Consort Cui walked out from the inner room, holding a jade bottle in her hand.

"These are all the Fasting Pills my master left for me, only thirteen are left, I'll be handing them all to Your Majesty."

Zheng Yi held Noble Consort Cui's small hand, they exchanged a silent glance, and he finally pinched her cheek lightly.

This night, he decided to stay at Jiaofang Hall.

At the same time, a stream of Innate Yang Qi was also transferred into Noble Consort Cui's body.

Ten months later, another Prince will be born.

And both he and Noble Consort Cui are cultivators with Spirit Roots.

The Third Prince to be born has a high chance of possessing a Spirit Root as well!

Returning to Baiyu City, Zheng Yi summoned Chen Liancang.

"Elder Chen, during the time I was in seclusion, did anything significant happen?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, nothing of note."

"How is your understanding of the Netherworld Scripture progressing?"

"This old servant has had some insights, but lacking cultivation experience; I wish to try it first."

"Very well..."

Zheng Yi said: "Practicing the Netherworld Scripture is best done in an Extremely Yin Land, I suspect that since the Grand Ancestor intended to cultivate the Spirit Corpse Body, then below the Grand Ancestor's Mausoleum must be an Extremely Yin Land."

"You may go to the Grand Ancestor's Mausoleum for cultivation."

Chen Liancang's eyes suddenly brightened, responding respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty! This old servant graciously accepts!"

"There's no need for courtesy between master and servant?"

Zheng Yi said, "Furthermore, during your cultivation, take some time to search under the Imperial Mausoleum for secret chambers, which might store the Grand Ancestor's past Magical Artifacts or other Hundred Skills of Cultivation texts."

"I don't believe the Grand Ancestor would only leave gold, silver, and jewelry to be buried while omitting other cultivation tools!"

Chen Liancang respectfully answered, "This old servant understands."

"You may leave now."

"As you command!"

With everything prepared, Zheng Yi swallowed a Fasting Pill and once again connected with the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror in his mind.

This time, I must find out what exactly that baby red date is!

Two months later!

Zheng Yi, secluded within Baiyu City, reappeared before everyone.

His presence had become even more calm and seasoned, his eyes could penetrate any person's secrets as if they could captivate one's soul.

Within the Imperial Palace, the eunuchs and palace maids were all silent, not daring to discuss anything casually.

Noble Consort Cui was found to be two months pregnant, causing some commotion in the court.

Another matter also stirred enthusiasm among imperial officials.

The rebel Xu Xuanwu had been escorted back to the capital!

At this moment, Xu Xuanwu's hand tendons and foot tendons had been severed, his Dantian destroyed, and all his cultivation rendered useless.

Now, he was nothing but a cripple.

How to deal with Xu Xuanwu had the entire Imperial Court in an uproar.

Zheng Yi's appearance, however, provided the officials with an answer.

Xu Xuanwu would be placed under house arrest at the Marquis's Mansion, watched over by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, to await Grand General Xu's return for further decisions.

After dealing with several miscellaneous matters, Zheng Yi returned to Baiyu City.

For the past two months, he lived in the Spirit Pool World.

A total of sixty years!

Sixty years of time, sixty years of lifespan, exhausted within just these two months.

To uncover the mysteries of that mysterious baby red date fruit, he spent an enormous amount of mental energy!

Each time he entered the Illusionary World, he exerted all his strength to approach those of higher Life Chart rankings, hoping they could grant him surprises in the Spirit Pool World to aid in achieving his goals.

Unfortunately, there were too many Human Rank Life Charts and Yellow Rank Life Charts, most were ordinary and provided little benefit.

Nevertheless, with each of the five opportunities, he edged closer to that mysterious baby red date!

His first entry spanned twelve years of cautious cultivation, reaching the Seventh-layer Qi Cultivation.

He then took advantage of a night to secretly slip away from his dwelling, heading towards the edge of the Spirit Pool.

Unfortunately, as he approached, he was spotted by a Tree Demon, which summoned thousands of vines and strangled Zheng Yi to death!
