Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

It was impossible to say that there was no scheme behind the scenes. Moreover, the ones who attacked were definitely the Immortal Realm experts in the world. If there were more conspiracy theories, it might be Emperor Yu’s doing. After all, the Marquis of Zhenbei was too dazzling. If he grew up in the north, he would directly threaten the rule of the divine dynasty. No emperor could tolerate it.

When it came to this kind of thing, there was no emotion to speak of.

“Sir, the Sword Whisper Tower has replied. They said that if you want to marry a sword seed, you have to be a member of the Sword Whisper Tower. In addition, you have to defeat the top five sword seeds. Currently, three of the sword seeds in the top five of the Sword Whisper Tower are in the top thirty of the Cosmos Ranking, and the remaining two are around the top thirty.”

Deputy General Chen explained the Cosmos Ranking in detail. This ranking was mainly to collect the geniuses of the various large factions, families, dynasties, and the Demon Nation. The top 100 were basically all powerful experts. Those experts among the commoners who could be ranked in the top 200 were considered geniuses and would be recruited by the various large families.

Shen Ping smiled and asked, “Uncle Chen, with my strength, what do you think I can be ranked on the Cosmos Ranking?”

Yue Zhu was the first to speak. “Your Excellency, you will definitely be able to enter the top fifty.”

Deputy General Chen said seriously, “Marquis, don’t underestimate the world. Those who can enter the Cosmos Ranking are not weak. Those above the fiftieth place are all Earth Immortals. Those below the fiftieth place also have the strength of the seventh realm. They are good at all aspects.”

Shen Ping walked into the backyard. “Since that’s the case, let’s go to the north region first. I’m a little tired of staying in this mansion. As for the Sword Whisper Tower, ignore them.” How dare they raise conditions with him? “When I step into the eighth realm, I want to see if this Sword Master has any pride.”

To him, the Immortal Realm was just a matter of accumulating time. It was not a problem of the threshold of the realm at all.

Deputy General Chen and Yue Zhu exchanged helpless glances. Another ten days passed. The rewards from the capital had arrived. Shen Ping was also prepared to head to the northern region.

“Your Excellency, these hundred beauties are all incomparably charming. However, you’re going to the north to take over the army this time. It’s probably inappropriate for you to bring beauties with you.”

“What’s wrong with that? Yue Zhu, you follow me too. I’m not used to eating food cooked by others. And let those beauties serve me tea and water.”

Shen Ping looked like a rich second-generation heir. He knew that 80% of these beauties were spies from Monarch Mountain, as well as spies from the various large families. He brought them along to keep an eye on them.

Yue Zhu grinned and said, “Yes, Your Excellency.”

She liked to stay by Shen Ping’s side. It was a pity that she was not of a special physique. Otherwise, Shen Ping could communicate with her and study the essence of it.

The next day, the convoy set off. There were more than a hundred and twenty personal guards on this trip, a hundred beautiful maids, as well as people from the second and third branches, a total of more than three hundred people. They looked grand and mighty, not at all like they were going to the border army to temper themselves, more like diplomatic missions going abroad.

“Not bad. Your massage technique is not bad. From now on, you’ll be in charge of massaging me,” Shen Ping ate grapes and looked at the large ball of white in front of him as he smiled and said.

The maid hastily thanked him, “Thank you, Your Excellency.”

The maids rewarded by the Imperial Capital were indeed of good quality. All of them were slender and tall, their figures were very plump, and their skin was as fair and moist as milk. It could be seen that Emperor Yu understood him.

Yue Zhu sat in the carriage and said in a low voice, “My lord, I’m afraid this journey won’t be peaceful. Now that your strength has spread, there will be many people coming to challenge you. Why don’t we speed up the journey?”

Shen Ping shook his head. “There’s no need. I haven’t gone out much. I’ll also admire the scenery in the northwest of this divine dynasty.”

Just as Yue Zhu had said, after walking for a few days, a civilian expert came to challenge him. Shen Ping did not even need to do anything. Yue Zhu could deal with the fifth realm expert alone. The further he went, the stronger the challenge would be. There were even people from the Cosmos Ranking.

Shen Ping dealt a casual strike, allowing many people to see his strength.

“The sword intent is really condensed and pure. It’s a true inheritance of his mother, Madame Yu’s Snowflake Sword Technique!”

“If he joins the Sword Whisper Tower, he can easily become a Sword Seed.”

“Well, there’s no need to arrange for more men to probe.”

“How did he cultivate? Back then, I sent an Earth Immortal to destroy his foundation. In the end, not only was it useless, but he also became a force to be reckoned with. It’s too late to regret now. Let’s look at the Demon Nation. The Demon Nation will definitely not let him reach the Northern Region safely and take over the Northguard Legion.”

…

It was the twentieth day of the convoy’s journey. They had already left the regional capital and were about to enter the northern region. However, there was still a month before they reached the border army. Originally, it would only take a few days to travel day and night on horseback. However, the convoy was too slow. Once it rained, Shen Ping would rest on the spot and waste a lot of time.

Just like now.

Black clouds rolled and lightning spots flickered. Bean-sized raindrops fell in the blink of an eye, drenching the entire convoy. Deputy General Chen led his personal guards to set up the tent. Yue Zhu ordered the other maids to move the things on the carriage into the tent. Immediately, the scene was chaotic.

“Leaning on the tower to listen to the wind and rain, watching the Jianghu road indifferently.”

Shen Ping crossed his legs in satisfaction and looked at the rain outside. The personal guards around him were silent as they looked at the young marquis quietly. Deputy General Chen was speechless. At a time like this, only the Young Marquis had the leisure to be elegant.

Yue Zhu came to Shen Ping’s left and put a windbreaker on him. “My lord, it looks like the rain won’t stop for a while. We’re going to set up camp here tonight. I’m afraid there will be demons in the wilderness.”

Shen Ping smiled and said, “It’s not that there will be, but there definitely will be. Look, they’re already here.”

Deputy General Chen immediately shouted, “Be on guard.”

The rain around the tent carriage continued to fall. The water droplets that landed on the ground were like lake water, sweeping into waves that surged over from all directions. On the surface of the waves, there were huge wolf-shaped heads.

“It’s a water wolf demon. They’re all fifth-realm demons.”

The personal guards quickly rushed out of the tent, drew their sabers, and prepared to fight the demon. The maidservants huddled in the tent, trembling.

Shen Ping said casually, “There’s no need to panic. Sending these small fries is just a test. However, the Demon Nation is overestimating themselves. Since they know that I’m an Earth Immortal in the seventh realm, they should at least send an immortal!”

With a flick of his finger, a wisp of sword intent passed through the raindrops and condensed into a water sword in the blink of an eye. With a destructive force, it killed the dozen or so wolf demons in front of him.

A large number of waves smashed into the ground, revealing water wolves that were two to three meters tall.

Deputy General Chen heaved a sigh of relief. “Your Excellency, Immortals from the Demon Nation could not cross the border. Even if they send a great demon over, it will at most be in the seventh realm.”

Shen Ping shrugged. “The seventh realm… Forget it. I’ll speed up my schedule tomorrow.”

He just wanted to see the figure of an eighth-realm immortal. Now it looks like it’s going to be hard. As they got closer to the northern border army, the number of demons sent by the Demon Nation increased, but their strength basically did not exceed the sixth realm.

On the day the convoy arrived at the border army, the King of Dongchang led his personal guards to welcome him. He said with a smile, “The Marquis of Zhenbei is indeed young and promising. You killed many demons and contributed to the Yuhua Shen Dynasty. However, the border army is different from the state capital. Those army generals are not demons. If you want them to submit, I’m afraid the Marquis of Zhenbei will have to spend more effort.”

Shen Bing smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about this, King of Dongchang.”

The King of Dongchang glanced at the maids in the carriage. “It seems that the Marquis of Zhenbei is also a playboy. Are you satisfied with the beauties His Majesty gave you?”
