I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

"According to the records of the descendants of the divine beings, their ancestors came from the northwest, likely from the direction of the Outer Realm Continent."

"Divine beings—are they practitioners of immortal Dao, witchcraft, or other cultivation methods?"

"Based on their titles, such as Mountain God, River Lord, Water Ruler, or some local Earth Deity, City God, Underworld Messenger—could it be the system of divine Dao?"

Zhou Yi slightly shook his head; the Wanjuan Daozang had no records of divine Dao.

During the ancient times when immortal Dao flourished in the Nine Continents, there had been many who returned to the void as immortals, and even legends of those who ascended in a haze. If the Outer Realm Continent possessed divine Dao, it would not lack relevant records.

"Regardless, we finally have news of the Outer Realm Continent."

...

Years passed as quickly as a shuttle.

More than four hundred years had gone by since leaving the Divine Continent.

Kunlun Cave Heaven.

Zhou Yi stood in front of a jujube and grapevine, silent and speechless.

Both trees had completely withered, their leaves fallen, exposing their purplish-green branches, like strangely shaped sculptures.

Clear Wind and Bright Moon had become spirits from the trees. They had long lifespans, but ultimately they were limited, and without the ability to draw upon heavenly tribulation in Kunlun Cave Heaven, they could not advance to become a Golden Core Demon King.

Since gaining consciousness, they had lived for two thousand five hundred years.

Zhou Yi took out Spiritual Wine and drank half a jar; he splashed the rest under the trees in memorial, then buried two purplish-green swords in the ground.

Having spent two thousand years together, to say there was no deep affection would merely be posturing. However, he had long anticipated this, and having braced himself psychologically, he was melancholic but not overwhelmed with sorrow and pain.

The Spirit Ginseng child asked, "Will Clear Wind and Bright Moon truly come back to life?"

"They certainly will."

Zhou Yi comforted, "Once their tree roots sprout and nurture a new spiritual intelligence, I will use the two purplish-green swords as a conduit to perform the Nirvana Divine Skill, and they will regain the memories of their past life!"

Clear Wind and Bright Moon had refined a magical treasure for more than two thousand years, entwining their spiritual essence with the purplish-green swords, becoming one in spirit, which made them perfect for the Nirvana technique to be performed.

The Spirit Ginseng child asked again, "Will the resurrected be Clear Wind and Bright Moon?"

Zhou Yi sighed and nodded, then shook his head.

"Perhaps, I do not know!"

The Spirit Ginseng child fell silent for a while and then suddenly said, "Master, if one day I die, please do not perform the Nirvana technique."

Zhou Yi asked in surprise, "Why not?"

The Spirit Ginseng child looked up, puffing out its little mouth, "I don't want a new 'me' to replace your memories of me, for then I would truly be dead..."

"Remembered,"

Zhou Yi gently patted its leafy head and spoke with a smile.

"Do not worry, there has once been a Myriad-Year Spirit Ginseng in this world, and you can certainly surpass it. Let's set a small goal first—live for a million years!"

"Yes! Live for a million years!"

The Spirit Ginseng child pumped its tiny fists, its leaves trembling as it cheered itself on.

Without yet seeing the Outer Realm Continent, the crew had already been halved.

Zhou Yi remained silent for a long time, even starting to doubt whether he should have left the Nine Continents years ago.

"Two thousand years have passed, and a resurgence of Spiritual Energy must be the next phase for the Nine Continents. Perhaps it is already possible to achieve the Nascent Soul stage. Even if the Spiritual Energy in the Eastern Sea is rarefied, the Golden Core can still be condensed, and Clear Wind and Bright Moon wouldn't have to reincarnate..."

"Ultimately, it is because I was overcome with fear and dared not contend with the Demon Monarch and Corpse Immortals!"

Zhou Yi shook his head helplessly, knowing that the Golden Corpse, with the resources of Nine Continents and the inheritance of the Corpse Immortal, would certainly advance rapidly in cultivation.

Once the Golden Corpse restores its former Divinity Transformation Realm, it could easily annihilate the overseas human race. By then, it would be hard for Zhou Yi to even flee for his life. Adhering to the principle of not competing with short-lived species, escaping to the Outer Realm was the right choice.

"Golden Corpse, you shall be my second enemy!"

...

The weather was clear and sunny.

The sea was calm and undisturbed.

Ahead emerged a stretch of undulating mountains.

Zhou Yi paid this little mind, having seen too much in the past three thousand years to be interested anymore.

Suddenly.

A song was heard in the distance, and he saw an elder in a straw raincoat, maneuvering a fishing boat through the sea.

Zhou Yi's Divine Sense swept over and he stood up abruptly. The elder exhibited a clear fluctuation of Mana, likely to be in the latter stages of Qi Refinement Realm.

Feeling the Spiritual Energy in the surrounding world again, he realized that, due to the dense Spiritual Energy spewing from Kunlun Cave Heaven enveloping the boat, it was much more concentrated than the outside world, and he had not sensed it immediately.

Zhou Yi circulated his Mana and the covered boat rapidly approached. He clasped his hands and said,

"Dare I ask, fellow Daoist, what is the land that lies ahead?"

The words he used were of the Divine Continent language, distinct in script and pronunciation from those of the Nine Continents.

The elder, sensing Zhou Yi's vast Mana presence, did not dare to neglect him and replied with a bow,

"Senior, that is Qi Wu Mountain of Dongsheng Divine Continent."

"What continent?"

"Dongsheng Divine Continent!"
