Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

“What about An’er?” He asked.

Wang Yun replied, “An’er is already at the mid-stage of the Divine Transformation Realm. It’s just that it’s very difficult for him to make progress in the beast scripture. Until now, he’s only at the level of the beast skin’s hoof and claws of the array scripture.”

Shen Ping shook his head, and his eyes could not help but reveal a trace of disappointment. His eldest son, Shen An, had the bloodline of a strange beast. Originally, he had high hopes for him and thought that the other party could also become a Beast Spirit. However, after so many years, he was still so slow in the derivation of the Beast Scripture. Clearly, his talent in the Beast Scripture was inferior to the skill geniuses at the headquarters of the Four Seas True Treasure Pavilion.

“Forget it, it seems that An’er’s talent is very ordinary. Yun’er, tell him later that if he’s unwilling to cultivate the Beast Scripture, focus on array formations.”

Wang Yun nodded.

Shen Ping asked the other juniors in detail. The focus was on skills. Among the more than a hundred juniors, only two or three of them had skills and talent. Their progress was not low, and the rest had ordinary talent. This made him sigh. The probability of a family producing true skills or cultivation prodigies was still too low.

Although it was related to the small number of juniors, this fact still made him understand that he was nothing special.

In front of the Human Race’s huge array formation puppet barrier at the defense line of the sea of stars, hundreds of Golden Immortals from the various races gathered.

The leader of the Spirit Race’s Beast Spirits looked at the dozens of Golden Immortals floating in the air and said indifferently, “Fellow Daoist Li, if you humans want that Shen Ping from Gray Stone City to live, hand over the Great Dao secret technique. Otherwise, the day our races break through the defense line will be the day that Shen Ping dies!”

Golden Immortal Li laughed. “Do you Spirit Race people only know how to boast? This array formation puppet defense line has stood in the sea of stars for nearly a thousand years and has yet to be broken through!”

“Hmph.” Golden Immortal Ling Guan did not say anything else. Instead, with an order, hundreds of Golden Immortals attacked the array puppet with all their might. The leading Beast Spirit geniuses of the four races took out the powerful immortal treasures given by the higher-ups one after another. They waited for the array puppet to be exhausted before breaking through in one go.

Although Golden Immortal Li’s words were disdainful, his heart was still very solemn. He knew that the various races would definitely be prepared this time, so he sent a voice transmission to the other Golden Immortals, “If the array puppet barrier is broken, you have to rush to Gray Stone City immediately. Even if we die, we can’t let anything happen to Shen Ping.”

“Understood!”

The other Golden Immortals nodded heavily. They naturally knew how important Shen Ping was. It could be said that all the Golden Immortals combined were inferior to the other party. If anyone was afraid of death in such a matter, their future cultivation path would basically come to an end.

After all, cultivation mainly relied on resources. The higher-ups had the resources to advance. Unless they did not want to advance, they could only risk their lives. The higher-ups of the Immortal Dao paid a lot of attention to this place.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The powerful attacks shattered the cosmic space inch by inch. The array formation puppet barrier constantly shook. If an Itinerant Immortal were here, the aftershocks alone could shatter them. In the past, the Golden Immortals of the various races had attacked the array formation, but they did not risk their lives like this.

Clearly, under the gazes of the beast spirits of the various races, the other Golden Immortals did not dare to be perfunctory.

However, Golden Immortal Li heaved a sigh of relief. “According to this level of attack, they won’t be able to last for half a year at most. Even if there are any changes during this period, the array puppets and the trump cards left behind by Immortal Venerable can last for a hundred years. A hundred years should be enough to make Shen Ping prepare to retreat.”

In fact, this was the final plan of the human race. Once the array puppet was broken through, they would let more than 50 Golden Immortals bring Shen Ping and forcefully break out of the encirclement. Then, they would rush to the cultivation world dominated by the human race. The upper echelons of the Immortal Dao had already built a stronger defense there. Moreover, they could provide endless support.

The environment here in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness was too harsh, and the hastily built defense line was not firm.

Golden Immortals were also greatly restricted. They could not use many methods. More importantly, they could not support the projection of an Immortal Dao expert that exceeded the Golden Immortal realm.

Shen Ping didn’t know about the changes in the defense line. After resting for half a month, he went into seclusion again. First, he entered the Strange Beast Gate and spent some time with Yin Ting. Then, he focused on mastering the Dao patterns.

After Yue Lingluo received the news from the Heavenly Immortal, although she was anxious, she did not disturb Shen Ping. After informing Yu Yan and the others, she quickly contacted Lian Xuejin.

“There’s no hurry. At the critical moment, you can temporarily hide in the Nine Continents Tower. No matter how many Golden Immortals there are, it’s extremely difficult to break through the Nine Continents Tower.”

Lian Xuejin was not nervous. In fact, after controlling a trace of the Nine Continents Tower’s authority, she was not too worried about Shen Ping’s safety. In addition, the Venerable Sovereign had accepted Shen Ping as an in-name disciple and must have given him some life-saving items. Therefore, nothing would happen to Shen Ping.

After Wang Yun and Yu Yan learned of this, they relaxed a lot.

A few months later, Shen Ping slowly opened his eyes. After such a long time of familiarity, he had finally grasped the Dao pattern words. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and immersed his consciousness in his sea of consciousness. He looked at the top-notch Great Dao Jade Book.

The Dao patterns flickering on it were finally no longer unfamiliar.

True Book of Dao Origin.

He narrowed his eyes. He could not help but think to himself, “Dao Origin, Great Dao Origin. Could it be that this jade book studies the Great Dao Origin?”

He opened the jade book with his consciousness. What greeted his eyes was the summary. What is the Dao Origin, the Origin of the Dao. The three thousand Great Dao of Heaven and Earth all originated from the Origin of the world. If one grasped the Dao Origin, they could choose any Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The contents of the summary were very domineering, as if he had completely grasped the three thousand Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. However, Shen Ping knew that it was not easy to do this.

He flipped through the general outline. The first page of the jade book was filled with pictures. These pictures were similar to the stone bridge diagram, but there were annotations beside the pictures. The six pictures were filled with water, from rain to streams to rivers, lakes, and seas.

After looking at the diagram, he looked at the contents of the annotation. It said that the origin of the Great Dao was endless and stretched for more than a few times. If he wanted to comprehend even a trace, he had to start from the most basic essence analysis.

The annotation was very detailed and straightforward. It was obvious that the almighty who created this jade book had completely comprehended the essence of the Great Dao and mastered it to the point where he could analyze it in the most straightforward and simple language.

However, even if it was straightforward, it was very difficult for Shen Ping to understand. Fortunately, with the foundation of the stone bridge diagram, he could barely understand some of it.

And with a look, he was completely immersed in it. When his consciousness broke free from this state, thirty years had passed in the outside world. It had to be known that when he was looking at the jade book, his consciousness had entered the World Pearl. Therefore, when he really calculated, he had spent tens of thousands of years comprehending.

“I really don’t know how long I’ve been cultivating!” He sighed with emotion. His eyes flickered with excitement. It was only his first time observing and comprehending. Even if he had yet to comprehend 10% of the first diagram, he had some understanding of the essence of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. If he activated the fluctuations of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth that he came into contact with, he would hide himself without any flaws.

Apart from that, the Heaven and Earth Great Dao patterns revealed by the scales of the Beast Scripture that he had comprehended previously were no longer difficult at this moment. More importantly, those patterns were too simple in the analysis of the essence of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. It was like the difference between the most basic addition and subtraction and complicated equations.

The only pity was that this True Book of Dao Origin seemed to be a top-notch Great Dao secret technique of comprehension. It did not involve the use of battle.

However, Shen Ping was not disappointed. Among the other Great Dao secret techniques he had obtained, there were combat-type secret techniques that could activate the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

“As long as I understand the first diagram, the scale level of the Beast Scripture will not be difficult for me!”

He got up and moved around briefly. He immediately immersed himself in studying top-notch Great Dao secret techniques again.

Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, another hundred years passed quietly. At the defense line of the sea of stars, the human array formation puppet barrier was on the verge of collapse. Cracks appeared on the surface of dozens of Golden Immortal puppets.

“Send a message to Gray Stone City and tell Shen Ping and the others to be prepared to retreat at any time!”
