I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

```

Now, having heard Master recount the secret past of Crimson Feather Immortal, I couldn't contain my curiosity and asked, "Master, how did you initially become enemies with that old demoness?"

"Back in the day, I was hunting a demon beast when I accidentally stumbled upon that old demoness bathing in the river, and she had the audacity to slander me for spying..."

Iron Crown Immortal said, anger rising at the memory, "I have always been upright and honorable, how could I allow someone to tarnish my reputation? So, I accused the old demoness of stealing my prey, and from then on, it was a series of battles and magical duels!"

"That old demoness had her fair share of ability, managing to escape from under my sword even after losing a duel..."

Iron Crown Immortal, speaking of the past events with a look of pride, said, "Ever since then, we've held a grudge, but every time we dueled, I would easily overpower that old demoness, never once losing!"

Such talent!

No matter how much Zhou Yi speculated, he never would have guessed such a cause, and so he reluctantly flattered, "Master, with your unrivaled magical divine abilities, how could that Heaven Severing demon compare? Your disciple will surely please her and help you take your revenge as soon as possible!"

"It's good that you have this intention, but you must be cautious."

Iron Crown Immortal said, "That old demoness is no ordinary foe; the Severing Heaven secret technique she's cultivated is at its pinnacle, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to escape after every defeat in our duels!"

"Disciple understands."

Zhou Yi's face lit up with joy; Crimson Feather Immortal was proficient at the Severing Heaven secret technique, just what he needed to seek guidance in cultivation.

Iron Crown Immortal glanced at his disciple, knowing exactly what he was up to, and after pondering for a moment, asked, "You're quite keen to cultivate the Severing Heaven secret technique, aren't you?"

"Master, your disciple is helpless in this matter!"

Zhou Yi had already prepared an excuse, knowing well that Iron Crown Immortal was stern in appearance but soft at heart, and he sighed wistfully, "Disciple's gifts are no match for my peers; attaining Nascent Soul was already fortunate, but the path to Divinity Transformation is incredibly arduous."

"Studying the Severing Heaven secret technique might grant access to the secrets of heaven, providing me with a glimmer of hope!"

"Ah... all troubles arise from desire!"

Iron Crown Immortal sighed, then asked, "But what if seizing that chance requires the slaughter of innocent beings, leading to an endless demonic path?"

Zhou Yi solemnly said, "Disciple will steadfastly remember the teachings of Heaven's Gate, and if that's the case, I would rather seek the opportunity for rebirth and reincarnation than forcibly pursue a breakthrough!"

"Very well."

Iron Crown Immortal said, "The teachings of the Severing Heaven Sect are also part of the Xuanmen Orthodoxy, but its rise and fall are both due to the Severing Heaven secret technique. Many Heaven-Cutting Sect members, in pursuit of extending their lives, didn't hesitate to descend into the demonic way, hence the nickname 'Heaven Severing demons'!"

"And now, the Severing Heaven Sect provides shelter for demon heads, with many of its disciples entering the demonic path by seizing upon the secrets of heaven. I hope I won't have to face the day when... justice demands the severing of ties."

"Disciple will strictly adhere to Master's teachings!"

Zhou Yi bowed deeply, expressing his gratitude for having the chance to become a disciple of Iron Crown Immortal, who showed no favoritism or bias.

The ceremony of taking Iron Crown Immortal as his master involved battling a true dragon and, afterward, being bestowed precious spiritual treasures. On regular days, whenever there were doubts in practice, Iron Crown Immortal would patiently explain. He truly treated Zhou Yi as a devoted disciple.

Iron Crown Immortal gave a slight nod and presented the scripture in his hand, saying, "This volume of the 'Cave True Great Subtlety Pure Scripture' is passed down by ancient masters from the higher realms and is particularly effective against inner demons and wild fantasies. Recite it often in your daily practice."

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this scripture."

Zhou Yi held the scripture with both hands, feeling an even closer bond to Iron Crown Immortal, and said, "Your disciple enjoys exploring the legacies of the ancients on regular days and has collected some classic scriptures, which Master may peruse in your spare time."

As he spoke, he took out a jade slip from his sleeve, which recorded several volumes of ancient scriptures from Nine Continents.

"In the future, don't go robbing tombs anymore, it harms your moral virtue..."

Iron Crown Immortal took the jade slip and with a casual sweep of Divine Sense, what had been a nonchalant expression turned serious, and he said, changing his tone, "However, inheriting the classics of the ancients is the duty of the younger generations.

In future archeological digs, make sure to preserve the burial sites of the ancients well and don't let them be taken advantage of by evil spirits!"

A stone from other hills can be used to polish jade.

At Iron Crown Immortal's level, normal divine abilities and secret techniques are of little use, but the insights on "the Way" found in the scriptures of the ancients may not increase mana directly, yet their impact on one's cultivation journey is profound!

"Disciple will remember this."

Zhou Yi bowed and retired, not wishing to disturb his master's scripture reading.
Experience tales at empire

Just then.

A voice came from the temple, "I've imprinted a curse within the body of a lad surnamed Bai that will constantly plunge him into a nightmare realm. When he comes seeking me again, you shall undo it for him!"

"Tell the lad to watch his mouth!"

Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel embarrassed; his master sure could be petty!

...

Upon returning to the Golden Light Hall.

Zhou Yi took out three rare treasures and continued to cultivate the Great Five Elements Escaping Technique.

Having already mastered the techniques of the Gold and Fire elements, he knew that following the principle of mutual generation in the Five Elements, cultivating the Water and Earth techniques would be much quicker. After some thought, he began to refine Mountain God Jade.

From then on, he began his closed-door cultivation, declining all invitations from fellow disciples, focusing solely on fusing the rare treasures into his body.

```

Two years had passed in a flash.

On this day.

Zhou Yi sat cross-legged, with the Innate Mysterious Water suspended above his forehead, only a thread as fine as a hair remained.

A moment later.

The Spiritual Water completely merged into his body, and a five-colored radiance erupted from within Zhou Yi, constantly cleansing his tendons and meridians, making his formerly incompatible bones and Spirit somewhat more receptive to Spiritual Energy.

After a long time, the divine light faded.

Zhou Yi suddenly opened his eyes, retracted his Mana, and sensed the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth.

The yellow of metal, the green of wood, the red of fire...

Countless tiny specks of Spiritual Energy floated in the air, readily entering his body with a mere circulation of the Cultivation Technique, no longer requiring the forceful extraction with Mana as before.

"After over six thousand six hundred years, I finally have a Spirit Root!"

"Even if it's the worst Spirit Root in the world, it's still a breakthrough from nothing, and in the future, by continuously collecting the Five Elements Rare Treasures and integrating them into my body according to the method of the Great Five Elements Escape Technique, one day my Spirit Root will fully mature!"

"Perhaps I can even become a Five Elements Spiritual Body, an existence comparable to the Heavenly Spiritual Root..."

Zhou Yi's face showed joy, as the growth in aptitude would accelerate the increase of his cultivation, and also provide him with a higher probability of breaking through to higher realms in the future.

At the same time, reaching higher realms of cultivation faster meant shortening the time when he might encounter danger, indirectly avoiding many calamities.

Calculating with his fingers, there were only a little more than two months left until the agreed time. Zhou Yi immediately sent a message to his fellow sect brothers, instructing them to destroy the heart hidden by the Heartless Demon Lord.

"I have perfected the Great Five Elements Escape Technique, and it's time to use the Demon Lord as a sacrifice!"

Having said that.

He soared into the sky, transforming into a five-colored radiance, and flew towards Coiling Cloud Mountain.

...

Coiling Cloud Mountain.

Located in the southern part of Dongsheng Divine Continent, the mountain was enveloped in mist all year round, hence the name.

In the mountain resided an old demon, self-proclaimed as the Heartless Mountain God, who particularly enjoyed consuming human hearts.

The nearby villagers had no choice, having to conduct annual sacrifices with a sufficient number of human hearts prepared; otherwise, if the Mountain God were angered, entire villages or towns could perish from heart extraction.

On this day.

A beam of escaping light flew out of the Mountain God Temple, heading in the northeast direction.

The White Bone Daoist from Skull Mountain was holding a Thousand Year Feast, inviting friendly demons and specters with invitations. It was said that during the feast, there would be a tasting of the Mysterious Bone Pill.

With the mentality of taking advantage if there was a benefit, the Heartless Demon Lord did not refuse.

Just as he flew out of the borders of Coiling Cloud Mountain, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Fellow Daoist, please hold!"

Little did the Heartless Demon Lord know the power behind these words. Confident in his dark and profound secret techniques, he stopped his escaping light and looked back, only to see a blue-robed Daoist stepping on a five-colored glow approaching.

"May I know what instructions Fellow Daoist has for me?"

Zhou Yi cupped his hands with a smile, "I would like to ask for an item from Fellow Daoist."

"What item..."

Before the Heartless Demon Lord could finish speaking, he spewed out thousands upon thousands of fierce souls and vicious ghosts that fearlessly charged forward.

Demon Heads do not speak of reasons for their actions!

This strange Daoist had blocked his path for no reason, and as an ill-intentioned comer, the Heartless Demon Lord naturally struck first to gain the upper hand!

Zhou Yi had anticipated this, and a black flag appeared in his hand. With a gentle wave, rolling black clouds fell, and in a blink, the area for hundreds of miles turned into a dark world.

Countless struggling and wailing Yin spirits far surpassed those fierce souls cultivated by the Demon Head.

"So you're also someone from the Demon Path!"

The Heartless Demon Lord snorted coldly, flying out of his sleeves with several magical treasures to protect his body, forming a spell with his hands that turned into a black light, and he fled into the distance.
