Chapter 1023: Killing an Longevity Expert

Editor: Henyee Translations

Shen Ping glanced at the Sword Master and the Cliffmaster. It seemed that their temperaments had indeed changed a little. If he had just met them, he would definitely have fought head-on with the Yuhua Shen Dynasty in the face of Emperor Yu’s coercion. But now, they have endured to this extent. Moreover, it seemed that they could continue to endure.

They probably saw that he had broken through to longevity-level and had hope. After all, Emperor Yu’s ambition was too great. He wanted to unite the world and make the four seas submit. In the empyrean world, this was basically impossible. Even an invincible expert would find it difficult to do this because the human heart was unpredictable.

There were many people who submitted on the surface but secretly disobeyed. No matter how invincible he was, he could not take care of every aspect.

Not to mention Emperor Yu, who was only in the immortal realm. Perhaps Emperor Yu’s ability was very strong. If he was in a mortal country, he should be able to become a wise ruler. Unfortunately, this was transcendent.

Moreover, above the five major factions, there was the Heavenly Palace. Therefore, although Shen Ping agreed with Emperor Yu’s actions, he did not think that it would succeed.

“I say, you two, don’t talk about these things in front of me in the future. It means nothing to me. The world has nothing to do with me. You just have to guard your own territory well. It might not be a bad thing for those subsidiary forces to be destroyed. At the very least, it can make you cultivate your disciples more diligently.”

The eyes of the Sword Master and the Cliffmaster lit up. This was the first time Shen Ping had expressed his stance. Although it was a little vague, he had at least expressed his attitude.

“Marquis Zhenbei is right. We don’t care what Emperor Yu wants in the future, as long as he doesn’t take away our land.”

“That’s right. It’s indeed time to nurture our disciples well. Perhaps we can nurture a few more immortals!”

The two of them left. He looked at the aura that had disappeared in the astral wind and Shen Ping could not help but laugh. Some experts stood on high ground for too long and could not see the ground. He hoped that they would really change. No matter what, ever since he taught swordsmanship, he got along well with these two fellows.

He opened the virtual interface.

[Sword Dao: 7%]

[Chaos Hole Sword Dao: 4%]

Not bad. In his opinion, the progress was alright. It was just that over the years, he felt that it was a little unstable when it came to the Chaos Hole Sword Dao. The Chaos Hole Sword Dao walked the pure path of killing. Although its power was indeed extremely strong, Shen Ping always felt that something was missing. Sometimes, he could not use it as he pleased.

“The Sword Dao and the Chaos Hole Great Dao are both top-notch Heaven and Earth Great Dao. Even if I rely on fate to forcefully integrate them into the Chaos Hole Sword Dao, I still have to go through a process of adaptation if I want to truly control them like my arms!”

In the years to come, his life basically remained the same, but he had increased his efforts in nurturing spirit seeds. Not only did he nurture many types of hybrid spirit rice, but he also cultivated spirit fruits and so on. He had even modified some natural treasures into spirit treasures.

It was just that it was not mature yet.

Another 30 years passed. The Demon Nation invaded the border again, but this time, there was no need for Shen Ping to do anything. Just by relying on the growing power of the country, it was easily resolved. In this battle, Deputy General Chen became famous and was conferred the title of Earl Rong Chang by Emperor Yu.

At this moment, the world was completely controlled by the dynasty.

The four top forces, the Seeping River Academy, the Heavenly Sound Temple, the Sea Moon Cliff, and the Sword Whisper Tower, were no longer as famous as before. Even the Seeping River Academy had lost the glory of the holy land of swordsmen. The world only knew about the Demon Hanging Division and the rising noble families.

In just a hundred years, the world had changed.

Emperor Yu, who was immersed in a sense of accomplishment, continued to invest resources in the Demon Hanging Division and the aristocratic families. He severely attacked the newly established forces and even established a martial arts examination. He wanted to take over all the talents in the world and completely sever the inheritance of the four great forces.

The Sword Master and the Cliffmaster had completely become the Divine Ninja Turtles, but they did not appear. On the other hand, the Heavenly Sound Temple was furious and fought with Monarch Mountain. However, they became much more obedient after that.

As for the Seeping River Academy, with the pressure of the East Sea Penglai, although their strength had decreased greatly, there were the most disciples in the academy. Coupled with Fairy Lijiang, who had just entered the Immortal Realm, their situation was much stronger than the other factions.

Just like that, another hundred years passed. The people of the world had experienced several rounds.

Eight aristocratic families had risen in the Imperial Capital, with these eight as the head, they extended to more than a hundred aristocratic families in all the states and prefectures in the world and controlled all the resources and trump cards that the four top factions had once controlled.

It was not easy for the Yuhua Shen Dynasty to clean up the ills, but it showed signs of solidifying its class again. However, Emperor Yu didn’t care. Instead, he prepared his troops and started a war against the Demon Nation, attempting to truly unify the world.

The Demon Nation was very strong. After 20 years of war, the border had suffered heavy losses. They had lost millions of soldiers. Even more than 100 Earth Immortals had died, and more than five Immortals had died. Even Emperor Yu was injured.

However, the frustrated Emperor Yu still did not give up. After recuperating for 50 years, the second round of country wars began. In this war that the world was paying attention to, the longevity-level powerhouses from Penglai in the East Sea could not take it anymore and came to the Residence of Zhenbei personally.

“Take out the true Sword Dao contained in the Diagrams of Mountains and Rivers.” The man in the green robe had a calm expression, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

Shen Ping looked at him with interest. “That longevity-level powerhouse in the Northern Ice Plains also cultivates the Taiyi Sword Dao. Why didn’t you ask him for it? On the contrary, you came to my residence. Do you think that I’m easy to bully?”

The green-robed man was surprised. “You know about the senior from the Northern Ice Plains’ Heavenly Palace? Have you been there before?”

Shen Ping smiled noncommittally. This made the green-robed man a little uncertain. He slowly said, “That senior is the ancestor of my Heavenly Palace. It’s normal for him to cultivate the Taiyi Sword Dao. But you’re different. The Sword Dao you comprehended from the Diagrams of Mountains and Rivers belongs to my Heavenly Palace. On account of your talent and rare genius, I won’t care about you. As long as you hand over the cultivation method of the Sword Dao, I can allow you to enter the Heavenly Palace!

“In the future, you might be able to break through the Legendary stage and become Longevity.”

Shen Ping could not help but laugh. As expected of a longevity-level powerhouse. He could not defeat the elegant man from the Northern Ice Plains, but it was not that he could not defeat the person in front of him.

From the conversation with him and their previous contact, he had guessed that other than the elegant man, the other three from the four Heavenly Palaces would not know Taiyi Sword Dao.

He didn’t waste his breath on him. He raised his hand and slashed out a sword light.

The green-robed man was instantly enraged. “Brat, how dare you!” As he berated, a terrifying aura of the Longevity Realm erupted from his body. Even the world instantly changed color. His aura condensed into a sword that wanted to block Shen Ping’s sword light. In his eyes, there was disdain.

A little guy at the immortal-level actually dared to resist a longevity-level powerhouse like him. He was simply courting death. If not for the fact that he was afraid of the ancestor of the Heaven Palace, he would have come over to ask for it personally.

Boom! The sword light seemed to enter an uninhabited place and instantly shattered the sword intent and domain of the green-robed man. It went straight for his forehead.

“Th-This is the sword intent of the Taiyi Sword Dao. H-How can you…”

The green-robed man’s body immediately shattered. Then he condensed on the other side. This was a longevity-level powerhouse. As long as his Sword Dao intent was not destroyed, he could easily use the origin energy of heaven and earth to condense this body, so it was impossible to kill him.

The green-robed man was shocked and inexplicable. He stared at Shen Ping and said, “I didn’t expect you to break through to the Longevity Realm too. No wonder you’re fearless. Marquis Zhenbei, the Taiyi Sword Dao isn’t something you can master. I advise you to hand it over obediently. Otherwise, when the ancestors of the Heavenly Palace attack, you’ll definitely die without a burial place!”

Shen Ping sneered. “You’re still so stubborn at a time like this. Looks like you think I can’t destroy you?!”

The green-robed man said coldly, “Don’t be arrogant. A longevity-level is undying. Even if you can do whatever you want with the Taiyi Sword Dao, you’re not the ancestor of the Heavenly Palace. It’s difficult for you to master the true Sword Dao. If you want to kill me, it’s still…”

The sword light attacked again. This sword light seemed to be filled with destruction. The world lost its color, dimmed, and space distorted and trembled. In the eyes of the green-robed man, everything around him seemed to have disappeared. Only this sword light was left in his pupils.

Just as the destructive sword light was about to obliterate the man’s Sword Dao, a refined figure slowly condensed. Instantly, the world returned to normal. Everything seemed to be filled with vitality. The terrifying destructive intent gradually dissipated.

Shen Ping’s gaze was solemn. The elegant man said indifferently, “Alright, the Taiyi Sword Dao is not something people like you can covet. Stand down!”

“Yes, Ancestor!” The green-robed man looked at Shen Ping and gritted his teeth indignantly. Then, he quickly left.

The elegant man walked straight to the spirit rice and spirit seeds that Shen Ping had nurtured as if he had come to his house. He smiled and said, “Not bad. In such a world, you can actually nurture different energy structures. No wonder you can fuse two top-notch Heaven and Earth Great Dao!”

“Who are you?” Shen Ping was surprised, but he did not show it. Instead, he stared at the elegant man and asked again.
