Chapter 1021: The World’s Vicission (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations
After Palace Master Yan left, Shen Ping thought for a moment and decided to make a trip to Penglai in the East Sea to see if this longevity giant of the Heavenly Palace was as strong as the elegant man in the Northern Ice Plains. If he also cultivated the Taiyi Sword Dao, then he would obediently stay in the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate and not go anywhere. After all, he was indeed no match for the elegant man in the Sword Dao.
He rushed to the astral wind layer and sped towards the eastern sea at an extremely fast speed. Unlike the Northern Ice Field, there was no obstruction to the astral winds heading to the East Sea. However, when he was about to reach the Heavenly Palace, he could see the array formed by the origin energy of heaven and earth. The power of this array was not weak. If he rashly barged in, he would definitely be discovered.
However, Shen Ping was an array master. He enveloped the array with his true soul power and instantly broke it quietly. Then, he entered the array without attracting any attention.
Inside the array, it was isolated by the fog. Below the cloud layer were islands. There were many buildings on the islands. Clearly, the East Sea Penglai was not as desolate as the Northern Ice Fields. The disciples of the Heavenly Palace could be seen everywhere on the islands. The lowest was at the Earth Immortal Realm.
Shen Ping also sensed the true spirit mark. It was surprisingly left on the immortal after the Sword Dao Exchange Conference of Seeping River Academy ended.
He was not surprised. In fact, ever since he found out about Penglai of the East Sea and the other Heavenly Palaces, he knew that Palace Master Yan was not telling him the truth. Including the Sword Master and the Cliffmaster. Other than the Heavenly Palace of the Northern Ice Plains, the other Heavenly Palaces basically maintained contact with the top factions in the world.
With the concealment of his true soul power, he quietly arrived at the island where Fairy Lijiang was. At that moment, two Immortal cultivators were talking to Yao Xian.
“Yao Xian, you should hand over the Water Splitting Sword Technique. As long as you’re willing to take it out, the Heavenly Palace will definitely let you easily break through to the Immortal Realm. In the future, you even have the possibility of becoming a longevity giant!”
“Yes, your Seeping River Academy belongs to our Heavenly Palace. If it weren’t for Palace Master Ji, we wouldn’t have spoken to you so nicely.”
Fairy Lijiang shook her head. “Seniors, this Water Splitting Sword Technique is not mine. If it’s mine, I’m naturally willing to hand it over.”
One of the immortals said, “We know that it was Marquis Zhenbei who taught you, but since he taught you, this is yours. Moreover, Vice Palace Master Yan said that Marquis Zhenbei took out this sword technique as a reward for looking at the painting.”
Fairy Lijiang still refused. This made the two immortals furious. “You don’t want to hand over the Water Splitting Sword Technique, and you don’t want to contact the Marquis of Zhenbei. Tell me, what value do you have here? What meaning does the Heavenly Palace have to nurture you?!”
Fairy Lijiang hugged her sword and said, “Kill me!”
“You!”
“Brother Qin, calm down. After all, she’s from Seeping River Academy, and Palace Master Ji is an elder of our Heavenly Palace. Give her some time and she’ll come to her senses.”
The Immortal Realm expert surnamed Qin snorted and said coldly, “If not for Palace Master Ji, you would have died now. Stay here. If you don’t hand over the Water Splitting Sword Technique, don’t even think about breaking through to the Immortal Realm.”
When they left, Fairy Lijiang heaved a sigh of relief. She silently hugged her sword and stared out of the window in a daze.
“Junior Sister Xian’er.”
Shen Ping slowly appeared.
Yao Xian was stunned for a moment before she was surprised and delighted. “Se-Senior Brother Shen, why are you here?”
Shen Ping smiled and said, “Vice Palace Master Yan told me that you were taken away by the Heavenly Palace, so I came to take a look. Don’t worry, they won’t find out.”
Yao Xian had an inexplicable confidence in Shen Ping, but she still said, “Senior Brother Shen, I’m very safe here. Nothing will happen. You should leave quickly. It’ll be too late if the people from the Heavenly Palace find out. There are many immortals and longevities in the Heavenly Palace.”
Shen Ping waved his hand. “I’ll leave later, but before I leave, I still can’t let you go. You can hand over the Water Splitting Sword Technique. That sword technique isn’t very precious, and the true sword technique of the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers isn’t the Water Splitting Sword.”
“Ah… but, but that was your own comprehension. How could I hand it over to outsiders?”
“It’s fine. Listen to me. Break through to the Immortal Realm first and have freedom.”
Seeing that Shen Ping was serious, Immortal Lijiang nodded slowly. “Okay, I’ll listen to Senior Brother Shen.”
Shen Ping asked, “Is the Palace Master of Seeping River Academy here too?”
“That’s right. I didn’t know about this kind of secret before. I thought that the palace master had been in seclusion. Later, when I was brought to the Heavenly Palace, I realized that there was such a force outside the secular world.”
Fairy Lijiang told him everything she knew. After Shen Ping knew what to do, he gave Fairy Lijiang a few instructions and came to the main hall’s island. Through his true soul power, he found the location of the longevity-level. However, compared to the elegant man in the Northern Ice Fields, this longevity-level powerhouse was much weaker. He could not even sense his presence.
He stayed here for more than ten days and got a lot of information. The reason why those immortals were so eager to obtain the sword technique of the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers was mainly because this Longevity Overlord had instructed them to do so. It seemed that the sword technique of the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers was not only the supreme sword technique, but it was also the key to opening a forbidden area of the stone tablets.
Other than that, Monarch Mountain was indeed in contact with Penglai in the East Sea. Even the two great Heavenly Palaces, Skycliff of the South Sea and the desert of the West Border, maintained a tacit attitude. On the other hand, the Heavenly Palace in the Northern Ice Fields did not seem to be on the same side as the three Heavenly Palaces.
After returning to the House of Zhenbei, Shen Ping could not help but fall into deep thought. The Four Great Heavenly Palaces were not united. From the last time he went to investigate the situation of the Heavenly Palace in the Northern Ice Fields, there were almost no immortals there. Instead, it was the East Sea Penglai that had been nurturing immortals. However, they would not easily interfere with the world.
