Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Shen Ping said in surprise, “Didn’t you walk the Heartless Sword Dao? Why are you still concerned about such things?”

“It’s not like the Heartless Dao of the Sword is meant to destroy human nature.”

“What about you? With your strength at the top of the Cosmos Ranking, it should be very easy to get rid of those scum, right?”

“The Sword Whisper Tower is not the imperial court. Moreover, the imperial court has always been wary of the four top factions. Usually, the imperial court will not ask about killing some demons and cleaning up the swordsmen in the martial arts world. However, if it involves officials of the imperial court, the situation will be different.”

Shen Ping was curious. “In that case, is Monarch Mountain very strong?”

“Very. The first Emperor Yu of the Yuhua Shen Dynasty appeared out of nowhere. Although he didn’t step into the Legendary Realm, he was invincible among the immortals. Every generation of Emperor Yu was very strong. Moreover, it was said that the first Emperor Yu wasn’t dead yet. That’s why even my Sword Whisper Tower doesn’t dare to rashly clash with Monarch Mountain.”

After walking for two days, they crossed the mountain without any mishaps. During this period, Shen Ping indeed discovered a few demons that had yet to develop intelligence through his true soul power. They tried to attack these traveling merchants, but he naturally easily cleaned them up.

However, this was not the solution. There were spirits on the mountain. As long as they stayed for a long time, they would definitely develop spirituality and transform into demons. And demons fed on humans. It was a fundamental conflict that was very difficult to reconcile. It involved survival and reproduction.

Demons could not only eat humans, but this was something engraved in their bones and genes. It was very difficult to change. For example, Seeping River Academy only changed some geniuses of the Demon Nation with high cultivation. Strictly speaking, those geniuses were not considered demons.

He sat back in the carriage as Shen Ping sighed with emotion. “All living beings in the world are predestined and have their own rules of operation. Be it interference or compliance, they are all a part of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, my sword is to protect, protect my loved ones by my side, and protect those by my side who need to be protected.”

The more he thought about it, the more determined he became. Be it the Taiyi Sword Dao or the supreme Nameless Sword Technique, they were only a means of protection, not its goal. This included the Great Dao of the Chaos Hole, which was also for protection.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the Great Dao of the Chaos Hole could also be combined with the Sword Dao. So he closed his eyes and began to integrate the Sword Dao he had comprehended with the Great Dao of the Chaos Hole, and used the Sword of Fate as a catalyst to balance it.

Time passed.

Shen Ping was immersed in this fusion until he returned to the House of Zhenbei.

Huo Ru, who was sitting next to him, had a complicated look on her face. She could tell that the Marquis of Zhenbei seemed to have entered a mysterious state. Such talent was really enviable. She knew that if she attacked with her sword, she would definitely be able to interrupt the other party’s state. However, she did not do so. Instead, she silently guarded by his side and did not let anyone approach.

In the blink of an eye, two years passed.

Shen Ping slowly opened his eyes, and his pupils revealed joy.

[Chaos Hole Sword Dao: 1%]

It was done! He did not expect to really be able to fuse the two top-notch Great Daos. Perhaps it was because of the virtual frame. Otherwise, even with the Dao of Fate as a guide, it would be extremely difficult to succeed, let alone in a short period of time.

“It’s a pity that my comprehension of the Sword Dao is too little. If I can reach the level of the Great Dao of Chaos Hole, perhaps the power of this Chaos Hole Sword Dao will be extremely strong!”

He had a hunch that once the Chaos Hole Sword Dao was successful, even if he only had 10% comprehension, it would be comparable to 30% of the power of a top-notch Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

“I have to get the Taiyi Sword Dao and the Nameless Sword Technique as soon as possible!”

He suppressed his thoughts. Shen Ping looked at her and smiled. “Thank you.”

Huo Ru snorted. “Are you going to marry me or not? If not, I’ll go back to the Sword Whisper Tower.”

“Of course.”

The next day, the House of Zhenbei took care of this matter. When Yao Xian heard this, she sighed silently and sent someone to deliver a gift she had personally chosen. On the day of the wedding, many experts came to celebrate, and the capital sent people to send gifts.

At night, the candlelight revealed a festive red. Hearing the approaching footsteps, Huo Ru pulled off her red veil. “Marquis Zhenbei, I promise to marry you and give you my most precious innocence, but if you want me to do those actions, dream on.”

Shen Ping didn’t mind at all. Instead, he asked with interest, “Oh, you don’t want to learn the supreme Sword Dao of the Mountain and River Scroll anymore? Don’t want to become the number one Sword Dao expert in the world? Don’t want to defeat Fairy Lijiang?”

Huo Ru said lightly, “I do, but I will do it with my own efforts, not with others.”

“Ambitious. As your husband, you can challenge me at any time so that you can realize the difference between you and a true sword master.”

Startled, Huo Ru said in a low voice, “Okay.” After saying that, she lay on the bed.

Shen Ping took off his clothes one by one, revealing a red and pink undergarment filled with roundness and embroidered with a bamboo.

“Hey, you, be gentle!” when she felt the coolness of her skin, she couldn’t help but shout. Her cheeks were already red, like a burning cloud rising from the sunset.

Shen Ping laughed. “It won’t hurt!”

Then, he became one with his horse. He used the strongest stance he had ever used in his life. It was said that the weakest part of a woman was made of water. As an Earth Immortal of the Heartless Sword Dao, Huo Ru’s body was extremely strong. She was silent for several days. Unfortunately, she had still underestimated Shen Ping’s strength. In the end, she could only beg bitterly for more than ten days.

“I haven’t used my Invincible Firestorm Wheels yet.”

Huo Ru gritted her teeth and spat.

…

Two months later. Huo Ru was practicing the sword in the courtyard of the residence. Shen Ping played the zither and admired it. Not far away, a young man walked out, clapped his hands and said with a smile, “Marquis of Zhenbei, such pleasure.”

“Sword Master,” Huo Ru stopped her sword and shouted.

The young man nodded and went to the pavilion. He sat opposite Shen Ping and took a sip of freshly brewed tea. He said, “I’ve already negotiated with the Sea Moon Cliff. You can go and look at their two Mountain and River Paintings at any time. At that time, you only need to display the sword technique you have comprehended. As for the Heavenly Sound Temple, it’s not easy.”

Shen Ping placed his hands on the strings. “Why? Is the Heavenly Sound Temple unwilling?”

“Not that. Instead, they proposed a condition. We can’t hand over the sword technique of the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers to the Monarch Mountain… You should know that the Monarch Mountain has a diagram. It’s fine if this diagram isn’t the content in the middle. At most, we’ll only cultivate the first half. After all, it contains supreme sword techniques. Even the first half is enough for us to use for the rest of our lives.”

The youth frowned and said, “I’m just afraid that the diagram is extremely important. When the time comes, Monarch Mountain will definitely request it!”

Shen Ping looked at the Sword Master. “Is there no way to negotiate? Once all the scrolls are gathered, it’s very likely that you can see the supreme sword techniques inside. It’s worth it even if you have to pay a price.”

“How would I not know?” The young man sighed, “But those old bald donkeys are very stubborn. If they could be easily convinced, they wouldn’t have fought with the Yuhua Shen Dynasty back then. In my opinion, let’s go to the Sea Moon Cliff and look at the two paintings first.”

Shen Ping nodded. “Alright, but I have to remind you that a painting of Monarch Mountain was taken from Seeping River Academy, and Seeping River Academy’s diagrams are very likely related to the general outline of sword techniques. You should know what the general outline means.”

The young Sword Master’s expression changed slightly. He gritted his teeth and said, “I know. If it really doesn’t work, we can only use force. After all, the Heavenly Sound Temple is only one of the five top factions.”

After the two of them finished speaking, they drank a few more cups of tea before rushing up the astral energy layer and sped towards the Sea Moon Cliff.
