I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World novel Chapter 27

The moon was bright and the stars were few.

Zhou Yi landed in the courtyard. His face changed from an old man to a middle-aged man. He usually had this appearance in prison. With his dharmic powers, disguise technique, and Bone Shrinkage Technique, even those close to him would not be able to recognize him.

“The matter with the Li family is over.”

After three secret attacks, Zhou Yi’s existence had already attracted everyone’s attention. Tonight, the old monster was only a step away from the Connate Realm.

“Connate grandmasters are even rarer than expected. Perhaps the Fengyang Kingdom… only had me? Li Wu has dominated both the Fengyang Kingdom and Great Yong. Other than the Heavenly King Cang who cultivates the Heaven Devouring Demonic Technique, no one else can match him!”

After cultivating for 26 years, he was suddenly invincible in the mortal world!

Zhou Yi reminded himself that this was the Immortal Demon World. Connate was only the threshold of the cultivation world, and they did not know any spells or weapons. They would not be able to fight any of the cultivators.

“According to human logic, those itinerant cultivators who don’t do well know that their path is hopeless. Instead of being as lowly as minions in the cultivation world, they might as well come to the mortal world and become overlords.

“It’s said that the Founding Ancestor of the Fengyang Kingdom has the power of ghosts and gods. Perhaps he’s a down-and-out itinerant cultivator?

“Or perhaps the mortal world is under the control of the cultivation world, and the dynasties change according to the will of the immortals!”

Zhou Yi restrained his smugness. With the help of the Heaven Devouring Demon Technique and the prisoners in the prison, he had managed to step into the Connate realm. He now had the ability to protect himself and could not act recklessly.

“I should be careful with my words and actions. I’ll focus on cultivating!”

The next day. The snow finally stopped.

It was New Year’s Eve, and the shops on the street were decorated with red lanterns. It was quite a festive atmosphere.

The news of the attack on the Duke’s Mansion last night did not spread at all. It was as if the two to three hundred people who died did not exist in this world.

What the people know is only what the Imperial Court wants them to know! For example, the commoners only knew that Li Wu was in prison but they did not know that he had fought in the imperial court before he was imprisoned.

Seeing that the Li family was declining day by day, some things also spread out. It was probably just officials chatting casually, and the servants beside them listened and bragged to their relatives and friends.

Word spread like wildfire.

On the surface, Minister Zhang looked weak and asked the Duke for advice, but in fact, Li Wu had offended His Majesty.

The officials of the country fought with the generals that Li Wu had raised for military power. Or perhaps Li Wu’s direct descendant would work under a certain Minister for the sake of promotion and wealth…

It was hard to tell if the news was true or false.

In just a year, the incense offerings in Li Wu’s temple had greatly decreased. In another eight to ten years, only weeds would be left.

“There is nothing in this world that time cannot wear down. Except me!”

Zhou Yi went to the prison and carried a bucket to deliver food.

Zhang Yun, the prison guard in charge of delivering food, had returned home for the new year.

The Sky Prison was different from other government offices. During the New Year, the prison guards could only take turns to rest. Only Zhou Yi was an exception. He went on duty as usual every day.

Being alone at home was not as lively as being in prison.

It was not that Zhou Yi did not have any relatives. His predecessor was from the Ningshan Village of Ningshan County. He still had hundreds of clansmen, and his cousins with close bloodlines were still alive.

Back then, Zhou Yi was born deficient and looked like he would die young.

The Zhou family’s elders suggested to Father Zhou that they choose a child from the family to inherit the position so that someone could inherit the position of the prison guard and the manor in the Divine Capital after Zhou Yi died.

Father Zhou was on duty in the Sky Prison and had seen all kinds of dirty things. How could he not guess the thoughts of the clansmen?
