I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

"What is it that you're making such a commotion about?"

The Iron Crown Immortal put down the scroll and scolded.

"To cultivate the path of immortality, one must maintain a tranquil mind and focused spirit. Even if the sky were to crumble before us, our expressions should not change!"

"The teachings of the master are correct."

Zhou Yi bowed in acknowledgment and said, "On the way back from the Severing Heaven Blessed Land, I encountered disciples of Yin Guang Luohan who actually wanted to take me away to Buddhism to listen to the scriptures. Encountering such a shocking matter, I temporarily lost my composure!"

"Dare that bald thief Yin Guang compete with me for a disciple?"

The Iron Crown Immortal's eyebrows raised slightly, and he huffed coldly, "Your master will go and have a word with him. Who has the bigger fist in Dongsheng Divine Continent is not for Buddhism to decide!"

"Eh, Master..."

Before Zhou Yi could finish speaking, the Iron Crown Immortal had already vanished from sight, his speed of exiting the range of Divine Sense was so profound that it happened in the blink of an eye.

"Master is good in every way, it's just that this temper is too hot-headed, always wanting to fight with others!"

And so, five or six days passed.

Zhou Yi took out the Severing Heaven Technique and began to practice in the Taoist temple.

Having practiced the Minor Severing Heaven Technique for thousands of years, the lifespan consumed could terrify immortals in the heavens. In addition, he had cultivated many techniques passed down in the Nine Continents. Practice brings true knowledge, and to say Zhou Yi was a Grandmaster in the art of divination was no overstatement.

Thus, after only a few hours of enlightenment, he was able to perform the Severing Heaven Secret Technique.

"Consuming the lifespan of the Nascent Soul to divine the good and bad of a single day. Even the ancestral Patriarch of the Severing Heaven Sect would find it hard to conceal this..."

Zhou Yi finally relaxed, now in Dongsheng Divine Continent he could consider himself safe.

The "changing fates" flaw mentioned by the Crimson Feather Immortal was, in Zhou Yi's view, not a problem at all. He could simply divine several hexagrams per day. No matter how fate changed, it could not outpace his divinations.

Of course, such frequency of divination would seem like suicide to ordinary cultivators!

Even the immortals of the Severing Heaven Sect rarely used the Severing Heaven Secret Technique, only willing to consume their lifespans for critical matters like pathway breakthroughs or ascensions.

Six days later.

Around noontime.

A stream of light descended upon the Taoist temple, transforming into the Iron Crown Immortal, who seated himself upon a stone platform.

He appeared unchanged from before he left, but his mana fluctuated unstably, and his eyes shone brilliantly, emitting an omnipresent pressure that made one's soul shudder.

Zhou Yi was shocked. Superficial wounds were minor and could be healed with a brief meditation.

A great immortal having trouble stabilizing his own vital energy definitely indicated he had suffered greatly from the battle, perhaps even sustaining serious injuries.

Zhou Yi immediately bowed and asked, "Did Yin Guang Luohan cause trouble for Master?"

The Iron Crown Immortal said, "How dare that bald donkey trouble me!"

Zhou Yi said, "So Master persuaded Yin Guang not to harass your disciple further and not to abduct me to Spirit Mountain to convert to Buddhism?"

The doctrines of Buddhism differed from those of Xuanmen and were particularly adept at conversion. At first, it might not seem significant, but gradually and subtly, before one knew it, a cultivator could become a devout Buddhist monk.

At that point, with 'all is vanity,' wouldn't the name of the Congratulatory Daoist Lord become a joke?

When the Flying Immortal Pavilion had a promotion, Zhou Yi had spent a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, which he certainly did not want to waste!

"With your master protecting you, there's no need to study the Buddhist scriptures."

The Iron Crown Immortal said, "However, I couldn't persuade Yin Guang. That bald monk's tongue is like a blossoming lotus, making him the best debator in Divine Continent. Unable to outtalk him, I used my fist, which is as big as a bowl, to beat him until he couldn't speak!"

"I thank Master."

Zhou Yi was immediately relieved and flattered, "Becoming a disciple of Master is truly the result of accumulating eight hundred lifetimes of good karma. In the future, I will serve diligently and do my utmost to assist Master in ascending to the Immortal Realm!"

"Your assist with my ascension? What can a child like you possibly contribute?"

The Iron Crown Immortal said, though his voice carried a tone of pleasure, "Although you don't need to study the Buddhist Law, you still have to acknowledge Yin Guang as your master and later you may become one of the true disciples of Buddhism..."

Zhou Yi was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Master, why is this?"

"Yin Guang is a contemporary head of Buddhism, and his strength ranks high even in Dongsheng Divine Continent."

The Iron Crown Immortal said, "The cultivators who wish to become his disciples are countless. Why are you unwilling?"

"I am wholeheartedly devoted to the path of immortality and have no interest in the Buddhist Law!"

Zhou Yi said definitively, "Moreover, having entered under Master's tutelage, to take revenge against the Red Feather Immortal Void by deceit is already my limit. I absolutely cannot be a disciple of three masters!"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Honored One."

The Iron Crown Immortal chanted the invocation and commended with a clap, "Your talents may be mediocre, but your loyalty to our Sect is commendable. I've already discussed this matter with the head of the Sect. For the smooth Divine Enthronement of our incense, we can only trouble you further!"

Zhou Yi's thoughts raced, and he spoke righteously.

"For the future of our Sect, for the beings of Divine Continent, even if I die and my path is destroyed, I won't hesitate. What does a little grievance matter compared to that?"

"Very good!"

The Iron Crown Immortal said, "I know you've been wronged. I went to reason with that bald monk before coming back. Once you become a disciple of Yin Guang Luohan, you will be able to learn the Buddhist teachings that anchor the faith."

Zhou Yi suppressed the surprise in his heart and sighed, "I have not done what I have for the sake of Buddhist heritage!"

"Rest assured, I shall keep you safe," the Iron Crown Immortal said, with a touch of redness on his face. He had never treated a disciple unfairly and would not have agreed to this if the head of the Sect had not repeatedly persuaded him and if there wasn't a benefit for Zhou Yi.

"Our Sect does not ill-treat the meritorious. What else do you desire? Speak now, and I shall personally ask the head of the Sect for it."

"My Divine Skills and Cultivation Technique are already top-notch, and I am not lacking in Spirit Stones or elixirs."

After a moment's thought, Zhou Yi said, "However, given my limited talent, I will likely never ascend. All I wish for is to see the celestial records of our Sect to have something to rely on in case I dream of them someday."

"There are few in the world who can become immortals. Don't be too obsessed!"
