Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 1031: Returning to the Northern Ice Heavenly Palace (2)

Editor: Henyee Translations

After knowing the rules of the Peach Blossom Organization, the aristocratic families became much more obedient. However, they were still secretly accumulating strength and investigating the power behind the Peach Blossom Organization.

At the same time, the four top factions, the Seeping River Academy, Sword Whisper Tower, Heavenly Sound Temple, and Sea Moon Cliff, recruited disciples continuously. After nurturing them for more than a hundred years, they gradually recovered their former strength. The disciples under them gradually began to show their talents. The outstanding ones could already be ranked in the top 20 of the Cosmos Ranking.

The Cosmos Ranking had been reopened since the first year of Taikang, and it was pursued by countless swordsmen.

Taikang 400 years.

As the four top factions controlled the surroundings of the territory, some of the former swordsmen factions in the prefectures gradually recovered. With the support of the four top factions, they fought against the aristocratic families. After more than 50 years of battle, they completely suppressed the aristocratic families and chased them out of the prefectures.

The aristocratic families that had caused chaos for 700 to 800 years had gone downhill. The world returned to the era controlled by previous Emperor Yu. It was dominated by the four top factions, with the swordsmen from the various prefectures as support. Although they still followed the control of the dynasty in name, in fact, they had already ruled the world with the Yuhua Shen Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, the local people gradually settled down happily, and the district office slowly regained its popularity.

800 years in Taikang.

Emperor Taikang Yu, who had long become a puppet, announced his abdication and let his eldest son inherit the throne. He changed his name to Tai An, which was Emperor Tai Anyu.

—

The first year of Tai An.

The demons invaded the border. However, with the help of the four top factions, the Yuhua Shen Dynasty repelled the demon army. In the same year, the Peach Blossom Organization formed by Yao Xian and Huo Ru gave birth to the first Earth Immortal, making the Peach Blossom Organization a true first-rate force.

Tai An 150 years.

The swordsmen of the various prefectures became stronger and stronger. The local government could not restrain them at all. The once glorious Demon Hanging Division was officially disbanded.

In the blink of an eye, another 500 years passed.

Under the suppression of the four top factions and the powers of the prefectures, the Yuhua Shen Dynasty was completely reduced to a puppet of the factions. It could only deal with mortal matters. The power of the local and border armies was completely disintegrated. The world was completely occupied by sects and gangs.

No word came from the Monarch Mountain from the beginning to the end. It only maintained the jurisdiction of the Imperial Capital and the surrounding three to four provinces. They did not care about the rest, as if it had given up.

The Sword Master and the Cliffmaster were drinking wine in the pavilion of the mansion, their faces red.

“Haha, this situation is what we want. This dynasty was originally meant to serve our sect. However, in the past, a powerhouse who suppressed the world appeared in the royal family. He was at the sixth level of the Immortal Realm and was one step away from Longevity Realm. As a result, the four top factions and other subsidiary factions had no choice but to lower their heads and give up their management control bit by bit. Now it’s back to normal.”

“Yes, strength is everything, as it should be. If our four top factions had returned to our previous rule, how could the Demon Nation dare to invade wantonly?!”

He looked at the two of them as Shen Ping smiled calmly. In the past thousand years, the two of them had done well. After they rose again, they restrained their sects and subsidiary forces and took over the work of the Demon Hanging Division in the past. They wiped out demons everywhere and even promoted the treaty that experts above the third level of martial arts were not allowed to interfere with mortals. Although Yao Xian and Huo Ru had worked hard during this period, it had to be said that with the leadership of the Sword Master and the Cliffmaster, this treaty was successfully implemented.

Until now, it was rare for the common people to encounter the reckless behavior of those swordsmen.

Without the harassment of demons, no aristocratic families causing trouble, and no harsh taxes, the states and prefectures in the world could be said to be peaceful. As early as two to three hundred years ago, the population had surpassed Emperor Yu’s most prosperous stage.

As the population increased, more and more people cultivated martial arts, causing the number of sects and gangs to increase. Under such circumstances, the resources in the world became more and more tense.

This is a loop as well. It was just like the change of dynasty. There were only so many resources. In the end, they would still have to fight and kill. They might even have to break the agreement that they could not interfere with the mortal world. However, with the restrictions of the Heavenly Palace, there were relatively few experts above the Immortal Realm.

He did not take it to heart. In the past few years, other than continuing to nurture the spiritual seeds, he had spent most of his time studying the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. He wanted to fuse it into the Chaos Hole Sword Dao. Now, he finally had some progress.

After the Sword Master and the Cliffmaster left, He opened the virtual frame.

[Protection Sword Dao: 1%]

The so-called Protection Sword Dao was the Ultimate Sword Dao that he had fused with the Chaos Hole, Wind, Water, Fire, Earth, and Reincarnation, Yin Yang, and the Mountain and River Painting. It was the final Sword Dao that he had refined with the Dao of Fate as catalyst. It was also the Sword Dao in his heart.

Shen Ping knew that this Protection Sword Dao was incomplete and was even missing the general outline. It was only an attempt at his current position. However, when cultivating this Sword Dao, his emotions were the most intense. He was even more engrossed than when he was executing the Chaos Hole Sword Dao.

Therefore, he was confident that he could defeat the longevity-level from the Northern Ice Plains with this sword technique. In fact, this was also formed through the Peach Blossom Organization formed by Huo Ru and Yao Xian. After all, the only thing that could move him was the protection in his heart.

If someone had killed tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of civilians in front of him, he would at most feel angry. But if it was not done in front of him, he would only frown when he heard this.

If someone bullied his wife and dao companions, Huo Ru and Yao Xian, the emotions in his heart would erupt. This was almost an instinctive reaction.

Hence the Sword of Protection.

Apart from that, he also created a secret technique, the Supreme Training Heart Technique. This secret technique was mainly used to ignite emotions, train the heart, and assist in cultivating the Protection Sword Dao.

Actually, it was more for Shen Ping to be more human. Ever since he traveled the world, he felt that he had become much colder. The hardships of the world could not touch his heartstrings at all. If this continued, he felt that he was the one who walked the heartless Sword Dao.

This might be due to the influence of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. After all, Daoism was heartless. To put it bluntly, he knew too much. He knew how the world evolved, knew the path of fate, knew the cycle of life, knew the essence of all things. Therefore, what he saw was not the matter itself.

This was just like the emperor. Why did he say that the throne was a political creature? Because at the position of the emperor, everything looked like a party competition and a battle for the throne. He ignored the right and wrong of things. Or rather, there was no right and wrong at all.

800 years in Tai An.

Yao Xian and Huo Ru broke through to the Third Heaven of the Immortal Realm one after another. This was considered a medium standard among the Immortal Realm. Moreover, with their swordsmanship, their combat strength was comparable to the Fourth Heaven. The Peach Blossom Organization they formed also gave birth to an Immortal Realm expert, causing the organization’s power to increase greatly. However, the two women withdrew from the organization and handed it to that Immortal Realm expert.

At this point, Peach Blossom Organization no longer needed to punish evil and promote good. However, after experiencing this, the two women became more and more proficient in the Sword Dao.

Shen Ping officially taught them the Taiyi Sword Dao, including the True Book of Dao Origin. With this Sword Dao technique, he believed that the two women would definitely be able to break through to the Longevity Realm.

And with his careful teaching, Yao Xian and Huo Ru’s Sword Dao improved by leaps and bounds. In just 200 years, they had comprehended a trace of true Sword Dao. This was a top Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Even if they grasped a trace, their combat strength would surpass other Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The Sword Master and the Cliffmaster had sparred with the two women and lost. The two of them were both at the fifth level of the Immortal Realm, but they had lost to Yao Xian and Huo Ru, who were at the third level of the Immortal Realm.

Although they knew that Shen Ping had hidden his skills when he taught them the sword technique of the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers, they did not dare to say anything and could only complain in their hearts.

A few years later, Shen Ping came to the Northern Ice Plains again. The whistling cold wind was like a knife. The deeper one went, the colder this type of chill became.

Standing in front of the Heavenly Palace again, he saw the elegant man sitting cross-legged in the Heavenly Palace through the gate.
