I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

One year later.

In the western region of Qiong Continent.

The Unnamed Great River flowed quietly until suddenly, both banks burst open, and the surging waters drained in all directions.

The Spirit Veins born along the river, under the ravages of the Formation and Prohibition, shattered with a loud boom into several pieces, releasing thick Spiritual Energy.

"The one hundred and ninety-second one!"

Zhou Yi skillfully took out the map of the Nine Continents, which now showed more than thirty percent of Qiong Continent marked with blood-red crosses.

"At this rate, in twenty or thirty years, the Spirit Veins of the Nine Continents will be extinct. By then, no matter what Demon Monarch or Corpse Demon, all will vanish into dust in this declining age!"

His hands formed a spell, and hundreds of Formation Flags rose from the ground and were collected into his sleeve as he continued to fly westward.

As he incessantly destroyed the Spirit Veins, Zhou Yi became increasingly adept, employing different Formation and Prohibition strategies for different types of Spirit Veins.

For instance, this set of Formation Flags, which integrated various formations such as the Absolute Water Array and Absolute Mountain Array, was specifically designed to destroy waterborne Spirit Veins, and Zhou Yi had named it the Absolute Water Array. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Most Spirit Veins are born from mountains and rivers, hence there was also the Absolute Mountain Array.

There were also a few Spirit Veins born beneath the plains, which were the most troublesome to destroy and also slowed down Zhou Yi’s progress.

"I’ve collected quite a few Spiritual Objects, it’s a pity that they’re all of low age. They cannot wait to grow and mature with the Spirit Veins. After moving them to Kunlun Cave Heaven, I will find another way to nurture them in the future!"

Zhou Yi shook his head helplessly. Any Spiritual Object associated with the word ’Innate’ had numerous wondrous uses.

Like the Stone Basin he had just retrieved from the riverbed Spirit Vein, which could gather the light of the sun, moon, and stars without any spells and condense it into Spiritual Water.

Unfortunately, the grade of the Spiritual Water was too low; for Zhou Yi, it was only good for brewing wine, which had a taste that no ordinary Spiritual Water could compare.

Had the Spirit Vein not been destroyed, if that Stone Basin were nurtured for another three to five thousand years, it could slowly advance to be a Spiritual Treasure or even a Spiritual Treasure, and the condensed Spiritual Water could be used for Nascent Souls undergoing Divinity Transformation to increase their Mana!

"Well, enough of that; it’s just an era, after all!"

"When the Spiritual Energy rejuvenates, other Spiritual Objects will form, and I’ll be able to collect them as I please."

Zhou Yi’s Divine Sense swept in all directions, quickly finding another Spirit Vein nestled among towering mountains and ridges, and he adeptly arranged the Absolute Mountain Array.

...

On Red Continent.

On the Nameless Barren Mountain, a hundred zhang underground.

The Golden Corpse sat in meditation to cultivate and strengthen his Mana. In just one year, he had already reached the pseudo Golden Core stage.

"Practicing in constant enlightenment at all times is faster than seizing a Heavenly Spiritual Root. The Divine Skills that have not changed in two thousand years have found new interpretations in recent days."

"The path to returning to nothingness is within reach!"

At that moment.

The message from the Corpse Demon attacking Cloud Continent arrived, declaring that the Corpse Demon army, under its command, was merely a thousand miles from Xianjing, and within two years at most, they could eradicate the alliance between the two races!

"Hehehe, the title of the supreme Overlord of the Nine Continents is within easy reach!"

As the Golden Corpse cackled smugly, another piece of news entered his mind, sent from the Corpse Demon guarding Qiong Continent.

——The Spirit Veins in the western part of Qiong Continent have been largely destroyed, causing the surrounding Spiritual Energy to plummet, and only the Qi Refinement level can be maintained in its central region...

"The Spirit Veins destroyed?"

The Golden Corpse frowned deeply and reviewed the images sent back by the Corpse Demon, sensing an ominous feeling in his heart.

"Investigate the cause of the destruction of Spirit Veins immediately!"

The Spirit Veins were far more important than ruling the Nine Continents. If all Spirit Veins were destroyed, all his schemes would come to naught.

Moreover, with his current strength, the Golden Corpse had no way to perform another Blood Sacrifice to seal himself; in this declining world, he could only wait for death!

...

Another year passed.

Zhou Yi had destroyed six or seven tenths of the Spirit Veins in Qiong Continent, leaving vast areas with exceedingly sparse Spiritual Energy.

Although Corpse Demons lacked spiritual intelligence, they instinctively sought beneficial conditions and avoided harm, migrating continuously toward areas with richer Spiritual Energy.

"The effect is far better than expected!"

"Had I known it would be this simple, why bother struggling against the Golden Corpse with spells? I could have directly initiated another era of decline. After all, with Kunlun Cave Heaven, I wouldn’t fall in realm, and perhaps over a long time, I could naturally form a Nascent Soul!"

Zhou Yi had no aversion to the declining world. In fact, with the Longevity Dao Fruit and Kunlun Cave Heaven, Qiong Continent was safest during such times.

His flight and Divine Sense continued as he searched for more Spirit Veins.

A few days later.

He found a Nameless Deep Valley, too deep to see the bottom.

At the foot of the valley, a Spirit Vein nurtured naturally, with inherent mountains and river prohibitions trapping the Spiritual Energy inside, turning it into rising clouds and mist.

"What a remarkable blessed land, it could become the base for a sect in the future!"

Zhou Yi uttered a sigh of regret but his hands moved expertly and without delay, arranging the True Qi at the bottom of the valley.

At that moment.

A furious shout came through, "Who is this scruffy Taoist, daring to destroy the Spirit Veins? Defying the natural order like this, aren’t you afraid of retribution?"

As the words fell, countless Corpse Demons burst from the ground, and piercing dragon roars came from the sky.

Zhou Yi’s eyes twinkled with spirit, and he found himself surrounded by Corpse Demons above and below, on all sides.

"The Demon Head reacts quite quickly, marshaling millions of Corpse Demons and setting a trap in advance—that must have taken at least a year to prepare."

The Corpse Demons on the ground weren’t randomly arranged; they formed the basis of a vast array, using themselves as the prohibition to create a massive formation that sealed off the void to prevent Zhou Yi from escaping.

"Kill!"

At the Corpse Demon’s command, millions of Corpse Demons opened their mouths and spewed forth Yin Sha demonic qi, which, under the effect of the Formation and Prohibition, fused into a vast river and swept toward Zhou Yi.

"Its power is comparable to the peak of Golden Core; ordinary Golden Cores would certainly not be an opponent."

Zhou Yi felt a hint of relief in his heart as a dark green tortoise shell appeared above his head, easily blocking the river of Yin Sha. After observing for a moment, he charged toward the southern part.

The grand array laid by the millions of Corpse Demons was powerful indeed but had sparse defenses.

Zhou Yi formed a spell and cast numerous Lightning Methods and Fire Techniques, instantly shattering tens of thousands of Corpse Demons. At the same time, he was continuously assaulted by the river of Yin Sha, but he relied on the invincible defense of the Xuanwu Divine Armor to withstand the attacks and break out of the periphery.
