I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

Zhou Yi recited an Invisibility Technique, mana circulating, and the black-canopied boat soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light, flying toward the island.

After circling around the island, the flying ship landed in the largest city of the central plains, with an estimated population of a million, featuring architectural styles vastly different from those in the Nine Continents and still at an ancient level technologically.

Half a day later.

Zhou Yi, after researching in a bookstore, confirmed the common name given by several countries on the island, which was Shenzhou.

The origin of the name was unclear, but according to historical records, this name had been in use for thousands of years, and they believed that "Shenzhou" was a continent.

"The human race does not appear out of thin air!"

Zhou Yi had navigated the deep seas for fifteen hundred years, encountering countless large and small islands, with only this Shenzhou inhabited by humans.

Since the journey was overly dull, he decided to take on a local identity and investigate the origins of the human race in Shenzhou, perhaps to learn news of the Outer Realm Continent.

In the Four Seas beyond the Nine Continents, every island inhabited by humans originated from their ancestors, cultivators who took their families to the sea.

Zhou Yi walked on the cobblestone streets that felt both familiar and strange, surrounded by teahouses, pubs, pawnshops with red bricks and green tiles, and buildings with overhanging eaves, evoking memories from a very long time ago.

Perhaps due to karmic entanglement or natural talent, he found himself at the entrance of Yihong Courtyard in a daze.

"Even as epochs change and heaven and earth are replaced, the names of these brothels always bear resemblance..."

With a flicker of his figure, Zhou Yi transformed into a handsome young master, snapping open a folding fan with the words "Listening to Songs in the Brothel" written on it.

"Such a time and place, it's fitting to celebrate!"

Twenty years later.

Amidst the reluctant gazes of the girls, Zhou Yi did not dare to look back, covering his face as he fled.

"What Golden Elixir True Monarch, what Everlasting Immortality, when fallen into the boundless pleasures of flesh, still just meekly staggering along the wall..."

East City.

Within a courtyard.

Clear Wind and Bright Moon handed over the collected ancient books for Zhou Yi to review.

"The 'Annals of Shenzhou' is the oldest, dating back five thousand years, originating from the Imperial Clan of the Great Yong Dynasty that once reigned over Shenzhou..."

"These ten volumes of 'Biographies of Sages' come from the Lv family, who claim to have the most ancient lineage in Shenzhou..."

Since Shenzhou lacked Spirit Veins, there were naturally no cultivators, and no tomb mechanism could stop the Escape Technique. In twenty years, Clear Wind and Bright Moon had robbed all the imperial mausoleums from every dynasty.

Zhou Yi opened the "Annals of Shenzhou", his Divine Sense scanning over it, and quickly finished reading the entire content.

"In ancient times, Shenzhou was wild... a giant ship flew from beyond the sky, and seventy-two divine beings descended... teaching the human race to build houses, weave, make fire, and cultivate..."

"The content recorded in this book forms the basis of the religion and mythology of countries in Shenzhou today, most of which people consider to be fabricated tales."

Zhou Yi was now certain that the human race of Shenzhou must have migrated from the Outer Realm Continent, maybe initially there were only seventy-two people, perhaps there were seventy-two cultivators.

Continuing to review the other books, he compiled all the content about the ancient past.

"The term 'Shenzhou' derives from what the ancient divine beings said, meaning 'East of the World'?"

"The Lv family claims to be the descendants of divine beings, with their family records stating their ancestor was the Mountain God of Fu Ling Mountain!"

"Sadly, thousands of years have passed, and of the families that were once proudly called descendants of the seventy-two divine beings, only one remains. The Lv family has moved their ancestral grave twice; even the current family head is only a distant branch of the ancestors, and the inherited scrolls are scattered..."

Zhou Yi sorted through the ancient books, having acquired the surnames of all the divine families.

"The next step is to investigate these families. Even if the Nine Clans have perished, their ancestral graves should still exist!"

Since then.

Zhou Yi started from the Eastern Sea of Shenzhou, digging all the way to the Western Sea coast, not sparing any grave, large or small.

This broad-net approach was crude yet effective. He quickly found ancient tombs that had been lost for a thousand or more years, uncovering other divine families' heirloom books.

During this time, he also encountered families of Tomb Guardians, an entire village of martial arts experts protecting the grave of descendants named "Lord of Qu River."

Persisting for a thousand years with unwavering dedication!

If an ordinary person sought to follow the trail, arriving here would undoubtedly set off a heart-stopping journey.

Zhou Yi exhaled softly, putting all the Tomb Guardians to a deep sleep, then wielded his shovel to dig up all the graves cleanly, leaving behind half a volume of "Touch Gold Secret Technique" before leaving.

Twenty years flew by in a blink of an eye.

Shenzhou began to spread legends of Touch Gold Colonel, capable of easily robbing any ancient, treacherous tomb. After being embellished and promoted by storytellers, they were even divided into several factions.

Yihong Tower.

A throng of warblers and swallows, so green and red.

A dozen or so girls surrounded Zhou Yi in the center, listening to his tales of Touch Gold Colonel.

Although trembling with fear, they couldn't help but crave more, and Zhou Yi would deliberately stop at crucial points, teasing their appetite with stories partially told.

"Keep going, keep going!"

"What about the rest, what about the rest!"

As the girls were urging eagerly, a commotion suddenly arose from outside. Soon after, hundreds of Officials burst into the Yihong Tower, arrayed in armor and bristling with weapons, commanding everyone to be still.

The lead officer's gaze swept over the patrons and finally settled on Zhou Yi, shouting a question.

"How dare you, you brazen thief, to have dug up the Imperial Mausoleum! You shall be executed!"

Zhou Yi ignored the officer, turning to the girls with a smile and said, "I'll show you a trick."

As he spoke, a rope appeared in his hand. He tossed it toward the sky and it stood upright, puncturing the roof and stretching to unknown heights.

Everyone gaped in astonishment as Zhou Yi climbed the rope that reached to the heavens and then disappeared from sight.

After that.

Shenzhou's stories about Touch Gold Colonel gained many more legendary intricacies. As for the protagonist of those tales, he had already set sail again, traveling from Shenzhou Island in a northwest direction.
