Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Wang Yun held her wrist and comforted her gently. “It’s all in the past. With Husband around, we’ll get better and better in the future.”

Shen Ping smiled and hugged Bai Yuying’s slender waist. “Yun’er is right. The past is already a cloud. What we have to do is to live in the present and look forward to the future.”

Bai Yuying hugged Shen Ping. “Ying’er wants to stay by your side.”

The large flying ship of the True Treasure Pavilion constantly sailed through familiar areas of the Wei Kingdom. There were cultivation families, rogue cultivators’ markets, and mortal cities. When a vast lake came into view in the distance, Shen Ping and his wife and concubines immediately looked at the cultivation city that had lived for several years.

Qingyang City.

They were back.

Elder Peng, Deacon Xia, Shopkeeper Qu, and the other Golden Core elders and guest elders stood and waited in the White Jade Square. “Here they come!” They saw the light flash in the sky. Shopkeeper Qu and the others smiled.

To cultivators, even if they had not seen each other for dozens of years, the relationships between the fellow Daoists they had befriended would not disappear. Not to mention, they had only left the Linhai Immortal City for six to seven years.

Boom.

As the large flying ship landed, woices sounded.

“Talisman Master Shen!”

“Guest Elder Shen.”

“Perfected Pei.”

They left the flying ship and landed on the ground of the White Jade Square. Shen Ping smiled and cupped his hands to greet the fellow Daoists at the main station of the True Treasure Pavilion. He walked to the long bridge on the lake. From time to time, fish demon beasts would jump out of the water. He could not help but stop. “Qingyang Lake is still the same!”

Elder Peng stroked his beard and said with a smile, “Talisman Master Shen, not only is Qingyang Lake still the same, but the small courtyard you lived in is also the same. Back then, Qingyang City encountered a huge battle and half of the city was destroyed, but it happened not to affect Huiquan Alley and Tongquan Alley. After we restored the operations of the True Treasure Pavilion, we asked the Golden Sun Sect for these two small courtyards.”

The eyes of his wives and concubines lit up. Shen Ping cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, Elder Peng.”

Deacon Xia said with a smile, “It’s not easy for Talisman Master Shen to come back. It’s a long journey today. Elder Peng and I will hold a banquet to welcome you another day. How about that?”

Shen Ping nodded in agreement. He continued walking towards the city gate along the long bridge on the lake. Elder Peng also briefly explained the situation in the Wei Kingdom and the twelve countries in recent years.

Ever since Ancestor Jinyang went to the Zhongsheng Continent, the twelve countries had returned to their previous stability. However, the demonic path had lost their Nascent Soul experts and became more and more low-key. Moreover, on the surface, they had become a vassal of the Golden Sun Sect. The mineral resources in the areas under their jurisdiction had also been taken over by the Golden Sun Sect.

This situation has continued until now.

“Elder Peng, there are many demonic sects and they are in the 12 countries. Back then, Ancestor Jinyang dealt with the Nascent Souls of the various sects. It shouldn’t be possible to kill all of them, right?” Shen Ping asked in confusion.

Maintaining the balance between the righteous and demonic paths was the best situation for the twelve countries to stabilize. It was very difficult for the Golden Sun Sect to maintain its monopoly for a long time.

Elder Peng sighed and said, “It’s certain that there are still Nascent Soul experts left in the demonic path, but the Golden Sun Sect managed to rule the twelve countries after Ancestor Jinyang left because of its late-stage Nascent Soul realm combat strength.”

Shen Ping could not help but be surprised. “In that case, another Nascent Soul realm cultivator has appeared in the Golden Sun Sect?”

Elder Peng shook his head, “There’s no Nascent Soul cultivator in the Golden Sun Sect. Instead, it’s a spiritual ancient treasure left behind by Ancestor Jinyang. That sect master broke through to the Nascent Soul realm and relied on this spiritual ancient treasure to temporarily have the combat strength of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. That’s why he completely suppressed the sects of the other countries.

“Moreover, the Golden Sun Sect mainly suppresses the demonic sects, but they support the righteous sects with all their might. It’s even more so in the past half a year. The righteous sects were almost obliterated after the battle between the righteous and demonic paths.”

Shen Ping came to a realization after understanding the situation. It had to be said that there was no problem with the Golden Sun Sect’s choice. Even if the source of the chaos in the twelve countries was the Golden Sun Sect, now that they were supporting the righteous path in the various countries. They relied on their own powerful strength, so they would obtain a lot of support and protection.

It could be said that as long as the Golden Sun Sect still had the combat strength of a iate-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, this stability would continue.

He stepped into the city gate.

Elder Peng, Deacon Xia, Shopkeeper Qu, and the others left one after another. They knew that Shen Ping must have many places to reminisce about when he first returned to Qingyang City. It would be uncomfortable for them to accompany him.

Shen Ping and his wives and concubines walked slowly along the main street. Sometimes, when they saw familiar shops, Wang Yun, Bai Yuying, Yu Yan, and the others would laugh and talk about some interesting things from the past.

“It’s the Hidden House.” A hint of embarrassment flashed across Mu Jin’s sweet face. The layout of her house was completely explored by her husband in a private room of the Hidden House. At that time, she was still a sendee cultivator in Peng Yun’s shop. What she wanted to see the most every day was her husband’s communication talisman. Only in the private room could she release herself and be her true self.

As they walked, the group arrived at the Cloud Fir Street in Huiquan Alley. Sunlight shone through the gaps and left mottled marks. Just as they were about to reach the corner, Shen Ping suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction.

There seemed to be colorful clouds floating there. If not for this familiar environment, he had really forgotten about this figure that he had some memories of. There were several banquets back then. She was radiant. However, to this day, he did not know where she was. He shook his head and smiled. He didn’t stay any longer and walked to the corner.

The moment he stepped into the courtyard of Huiquan Alley, Shen Ping noticed the thriving date tree in the corner of his eye. Wang Yun walked over happily. “It’s so tall.”

Shen Ping glanced at Mu Jin. “Yes, this straight date tree is indeed very deep.”

Bai Yuying, Luo Qing, and the others did not care about the date tree. Instead, they went to the quiet room and the master bedroom to look back. Although there were not many memories here, it was the most stable and happy life for them.

Naturally, there was a hearty exchange of Dao techniques late at night. Although the master bedroom here was not as spacious and bright as the Linhai Immortal City, the warmth of the crowd made the wives and concubines feel a rare warmth.

Grapefruits and honeydew.

Apples and jade bowl.

A ripe peach.

A semi-circular watermelon.

Shen Ping was tasting all kinds of sweet spiritual fruits here. They were very delicious. Until his wife, concubines, and Dao companions fell asleep, he left the master bedroom and came to the quiet room of the spirit pool. He opened the virtual panel. He turned to the second page.

The wish above had quietly changed.

[Purple Wish: I hope Husband can cultivate smoothly every day. (Unsatisfied)]

[Pink Wish: 1 hope to be with my husband forever. (Unsatisfied)]

[Golden Wish: Is the old friend of the Ze Country still around? (Unsatisfied)]

[Golden Wish: I want to take a look at Cloud Mountain Parlour (Unsatisfied)]

[Ordinary Wish: I’m already at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. I’ll definitely be able to break through to the Core Formation and Nascent Soul. Ancestor Huo Li, I hope you don’t die so early. (Unsatisfied)]

He took a few glances. Shen Ping looked at Yin Honglian’s wish and understood that Ancestor Huo Li was very likely the culprit who made her a member of Spring Garden.

At the thought of Spring Garden, it was as if the smell of rouge gushed out of his nose. He did not know if this Matchmaker Ceng was still in Qingyang City. He hesitated and found Matchmaker Ceng’s communication talisman from his spiritual ring. He sent a message.

No matter what, the problem of his wife, Wang Yun’s bloodline shackles, would still rest on Spring Garden in the future. Since he had temporarily returned to Qingyang City, he had to maintain this relationship..
