Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

“Di Xin, I’ve already said that with the huge opportunity of Realm Sea Peak, it’s impossible for you to be a match for that human junior. The further you go, the more shocking his growth speed will be. He hasn’t broken through to the Venerable Sovereign Realm yet because he wants to walk the high-level or even the top Heaven and Earth Great Dao. Once he comprehends it, not to mention your ordinary realm, even the high-level realm I’m in won’t be his match!”

When he heard these words before, Di Xin would not care too much, but it was different now. When he thought of how he had almost died in the hands of that human junior, he felt a sense of danger. Therefore, he asked, “Senior, what should I do?”

Seeing the Devil Clan’s Venerable Sovereign lower his head, Shan Yu sneered in his heart, “Simple. With the strength of your realm, you don’t have any chance. If I’m not wrong, this junior must have obtained some inheritance or even authority of Realm Sea Peak, so you can only rely on external forces.”

Di Xin was stunned. “External force?”

“Yes. I’m from the Shan Clan of the Skyflame Great Realm. Our Shan Clan is incomparably powerful. We can casually send out a few Dao Origin Realm experts to sweep through your realm. As long as I inform the Shan Clan, this human clan will be useless when the experts of our Shan Clan arrive!” Shan Yu said indifferently.

The Devil Clan’s Di Xin frowned. “Senior, the Immortal Dao territory is very resistant to external enemies. Once other Venerable Sovereigns know that I lured experts from the outer realm to descend, our Devil Clan will become the target of everyone!”

Shan Yu sneered and said, “Idiot, do you know how big the Endless World is? It’s just an Immortal Dao Region. When the time comes, I’ll directly hand it to the Devil Clan after my Shan Clan rules. Do you think I’ll take a fancy to an ordinary Region?!

“Our Shan Clan has more than a thousand territories directly under our control! If it wasn’t for Realm Sea Peak, such a place wouldn’t even catch my eye!” He bewitched him, “As long as you’re willing to cooperate, I can even bestow some of the inheritance of Realm Sea Peak to you, including letting your Devil Clan occupy other realms!”

The Devil Clan’s Di Xin did not respond. He was not stupid. He knew very well that once he agreed, the Immortal Dao territory would become the Shan Clan’s territory in the future. At that time, not only would the other clans be enslaved, but even his Devil Clan would become prisoners. It might sound nice now, but when the experts of the Shan Clan arrived, this fellow would definitely change his mind.

Shan Yu continued, “Di Xin, I know what you’re hesitating about. Hmph, you’re short-sighted. When the human experts arrive, your Devil Clan won’t have a place to live. You might as well take a risk. If you’re really worried, you can sign a True Spirit Contract with me!”

When the Devil Clan’s Di Xin heard this, he was immediately tempted.

…

Months later, Shen Ping, Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong, and the other Immortal Venerables had all gathered within the main hall of Dao Yan Holy Peak.

“Regarding the matter of opening the mountain to preach the Dao, someone from my clan leaked the news of Chaotic Peak Mountain. This person is a spy of the foreign races and has hidden himself very deeply. I asked you to come today to give you a chance. As long as you’re willing to confess, Dao Yan and I won’t investigate further.”

Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong swept his gaze down. Immortal Venerables Nanji, Qi, Yu, Bing, and Yue looked at each other. There were very few experts who knew that Shen Ping had gone to Chaotic Peak Mountain. There were only Immortal Venerables of the human race, so the news must have been leaked by them.

No one made a sound.

Immortal Venerable Nanji said, “Could it be that the Phoenix Clan leaked it? Immortal Venerable Luan went to Chaotic Peak Mountain with Immortal Venerable Yao, and the Phoenix Clan’s Venerable Sovereign must have known this news.”

Immortal Venerable Qi nodded and said, “Indeed, the possibility of Immortal Venerable Luan leaking it is still relatively high.”

Immortal Venerable Yu looked at Immortal Venerable Yao with a questioning gaze. Immortal Venerable Yao said, “I have a deep relationship with Immortal Venerable Luan. Even if she reveals it to the Phoenix Clan’s Venerable Sovereign, she won’t be too detailed.”

The spy had hidden too deeply in the human race. There must be a special method. It would be very difficult to rely on this kind of screening to find out. Therefore, Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong said again, “Since no one has taken the initiative to admit it, swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao!”

The expressions of all the Immortal Venerables changed slightly. The oath between the True Spirit and the Heavenly Dao was very serious. If one violated it, they would definitely go berserk. It was impossible for them to step into the Venerable Sovereign realm in their lives.

Immortal Venerable Nanji took the lead to swear. Immortal Venerables Qi, Yu, and Bing followed closely behind. Immortal Venerable Yao also swore. Seeing all the Immortal Venerables do this, Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong was surprised. Could it really have been leaked by Immortal Venerable Luan? He looked at Shen Ping.

Shen Ping looked at all the Immortal Venerables. He believed that it should not be Immortal Venerable Luan, but the Immortal Venerables of the human race had indeed sworn an oath, unless this oath did not affect the spy. Although he thought so, he did not show it.

After the Immortal Venerables left, Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong also raised this point. “We can only check the cultivation techniques and secret techniques cultivated by these Immortal Venerables. Some secret techniques or treasures are very special, but it will take time to investigate.”

Shen Ping nodded. “It’s fine. It doesn’t matter even if it’s leaked. In the end, it still depends on strength.”

Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong smiled, “It’s good that you understand. On the day of the Dao preaching, you revealed your strength and intimidated the myriad races. Now, many races have come to join us, including some Venerable Sovereigns. However, they also have conditions. They want to obtain a spot to go to the outer realm.”

Shen Ping pondered and said, “Sure, but if our human race wants to start a war with the Devil Clan, these clans have to do something.”

The quota of Chaotic Peak Mountain was very precious in the eyes of other Venerable Sovereigns, but it was nothing to him. After all, if he wanted to improve himself on Chaotic Peak Mountain, he needed Genesis Crystals. Just surviving was relatively difficult. For example, Immortal Venerable Yao and Immortal Venerable Luan had stayed on Chaotic Peak Mountain for thousands of years, but they still hadn’t broken through to the Venerable Sovereign realm.

If other Immortal Venerables and Venerable Sovereigns went over, they would not improve much. Moreover, so what if they improve? Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong smiled and said, “It’s only right. Those foreign races want to take advantage of us humans. It’s not that simple!”

Not long after, Immortal Venerable Luan was here. It had been a while since she had discussed the Great Dao of Fire with Shen Ping, so the man and the phoenix discussed it in the palace for half a year.

When it was over, Immortal Venerable Luan leaned into Shen Ping’s arms, “I didn’t leak the news of Chaotic Peak Mountain. I only told my Venerable Sovereign about your strength. I didn’t mention anything else, but my Venerable Sovereign should be able to guess something.”

The Phoenix Clan was on good terms with the human race and had always had a good relationship. When the human race declined, the Phoenix Clan did not kick them when they were down. Instead, they provided various resources. However, they were two different clans after all. No one could guess what the Phoenix Clan’s Venerable Sovereign, Feng Yi, was thinking.

Still, Shen Ping had some confidence in Immortal Venerable Luan. “Don’t worry about it. There’s no harm in leaking it. How about you? How’s your progress on the Great Dao of Fire?”

Immortal Venerable Luan shook her head, “I’m stuck at the last 5%. Although my Phoenix Clan’s bloodline is strong, it’s still too difficult to break through to the Venerable Sovereign realm.”

Shen Ping smiled and said, “Back then, you said that you wanted to buy some bloodline resources to help, but you didn’t want to use them. Now you know how difficult it is. Here, I prepared this for you long ago.” After saying that, he brought out a crystal that resembled a lingzhi.

“This is?”

“The Heavenly Ganoderma Golden Sun Stone. It contains the blood of the Ancient Golden Crow. I believe it can help you break through to the Venerable Sovereign Realm!”

When Immortal Venerable Luan heard this, her phoenix eyes widened, “Ancient Golden Crow? This is a powerful divine beast that has long gone extinct. I didn’t even see it on Chaotic Peak Mountain. If I had such a bloodline resource, I would definitely be able to break through to the Venerable Sovereign realm in a short period of time and continue to improve.” She hooked her jade arm around Shen Ping’s neck. “You’re too good to me. No, I still have to explore the Great Dao of Fire and enjoy your fire spirit liquid!”

Shen Ping naturally had to satisfy such a request. If Immortal Venerable Luan could break through to the Venerable Sovereign realm, he would have a powerful helper by his side. He would not have to do everything himself. Most importantly, with an example like Immortal Venerable Luan, the other Immortal Venerables would also do their best and not only want to go to the Chaotic Peak Mountain.

They spent another two months together. Immortal Venerable Luan returned to the Phoenix Clan’s territory to cultivate in seclusion. With the help of the ancient Golden Crow bloodline, the comprehension of the Great Dao of Fire contained in her blood instantly soared. In just 20 years, she broke through the last half step.
