Chapter 1022: The World’s Vicission (2)

Editor: Henyee Translations

“The refined man from the Northern Ice Fields cultivates the Taiyi Sword Dao, but the other longevity-level powerhouses don’t. Instead, they’re afraid of the Heavenly Palace in the Northern Ice Fields. So the Heavenly Palace in the Northern Ice Fields is the real Heavenly Palace. Who cares what the inside story is? As long as it doesn’t provoke me, I can’t be bothered.”

He suppressed his distracting thoughts and continued to perfect his plan to nurture the spiritual seed. At the same time, he increased his sword cultivation.

Time passed quietly. In the blink of an eye, another ten years had passed. Under Shen Ping’s nurturing, the rice finally gave birth to a spirit seed. “Haha, hard work pays off. In the future, I can finally eat a bowl of fragrant spirit rice in this palace world! The rice is light red and white. Let’s call it White Crystal Red Rice!”

Huo Ru, Yue Zhu, Yunyue, and Yun Xiao looked at Marquis Zhenbei who was as excited as a child in the paddy field. They were speechless. He was a dignified Immortal and the Marquis of Zhenbei, but he was like a farmer. If word got out, wouldn’t he be a joke to outsiders? However, after eating the White Crystal Red Rice, they didn’t think so.

“You’re really amazing. You can even grow such delicious rice!” Huo Ru kept praising him. The taste of the White Crystal Red Rice was really too good. After eating only half a bowl, she felt as if she had ascended to become an immortal. Her entire body felt comfortable. Moreover, the heat that gathered in her body actually increased the sword essence energy a little. This was simply unbelievable. She was an Earth Immortal! Not to mention rice, even heavenly treasures were useless.

Shen Ping smiled proudly and said, “Of course. Your husband is naturally powerful. Haven’t you seen it for yourself long ago? Yun Yue, Yun Xia, what do you think?”

The two beautiful twins blushed and their bodies went limp when they heard this. Huo Ru pinched Shen Ping’s waist. “Can’t you be more serious? Aunt Yue Zhu is still here.”

Yue Zhu smiled and said, “It’s fine. I watched him grow up and hope that he can continue the family line for the Marquis Mansion as soon as possible. You guys have to work hard.”

The following month, the fruit tree also cultivated spiritual dates. With the spirit rice and spirit dates, Shen Ping was even more confident that he could nurture more spirit seeds. While he was enjoying life in the Marquis Mansion, the world could be said to be changing.

During the 10 years, the Yuhua Shen Dynasty dealt with the dynasty and pushed out all kinds of reform measures. It continued to increase the strength of the Demon Hanging Division. In prefecture cities, county cities, and even townships, they established branches of the Demon Hanging Division and chose good seedlings suitable for cultivation.

Apart from that, they also renovated the relay stations of the various Daoist prefectures in the world and established coordinated and perfect information, allowing the Imperial Capital’s control over the place to constantly increase.

With this kind of innovation, the four top factions, including their only three subsidiary factions, could be said to be living an incomparably difficult life. Without the local taxes, it was difficult for them to even maintain their lives. Some of them who relied on their strength to plunder were directly captured or killed on the spot.

But be it the Sword Whisper Tower, the Sea Moon Cliff, the Heavenly Sound Temple, or the Seeping River Academy, they did not step forward. Instead, they restricted their disciples. However, Monarch Mountain did not dare to force them too much.

After all, the four top forces were inextricably linked to the Heavenly Palace. Putting everything else aside, just the Seeping River Academy was of the same lineage as the Penglai of the East Sea. Although Emperor Yu had obtained the support of the Penglai of the East Sea with the Sword Technique of the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers, he did not dare to really attack the Seeping River Academy. He could only cut off their wings step by step.

So the four top factions chose to tolerate it.

“Hmph, Emperor Yu is quite shrewd. He only knows a few moves. When he can’t satisfy the Penglai of the East Sea, let’s see how he explains!”

“Let’s just endure it. Unless Emperor Yu breaks through to longevity-level, he’ll die sooner or later. When he dies, the world will belong to the four major factions again!”

“It’s just a little harder now.”

The Sword Master and the Cliffmaster often came to Shen Ping to complain, but they only complained.

It was the fifteenth year since he returned from Penglai in the East Sea.

Fairy Lijiang had broken through to the Immortal Realm. Her temperament was even more pure and refined, and she had the ethereal and agile aura of a true fairy. This directly stimulated Huo Ru. In fact, Huo Ru knew that Fairy Lijiang was interested in her husband, but she did not take that step.

Initially, she did not care. But after so many years of interaction, she had Shen Ping in her heart, although she cultivated the Heartless Sword Dao. Hence, she was even more anxious to break through to the Immortal Realm. However, the more anxious she was, the harder it was to break through.

Shen Ping could see the obsession in her heart and asked her to follow him to plant rice, spiritual fruits, and fish to recuperate.

In the 23rd year, Huo Ru had also broken through to the Immortal realm. And that same year, Emperor Yu attacked the three subsidiary forces. The Sword Master and the Cliffmaster still chose to endure. They would rather lose their affiliate forces than have a conflict with the Yuhua Shen Dynasty at this time.

Monarch Mountain.

Emperor Yu’s face was cold, “How tolerant. I underestimated them.”

An elder beside him couldn’t help but say, “We can’t continue like this. Our Monarch Mountain doesn’t dare to really attack the four top factions. Once we do, the Penglai Heavenly Palace in the East Sea will definitely denounce us!”

How could Emperor Yu not know this? “Now that the situation in the world is in the hands of my Monarch Mountain, since they chose to tolerate it, let them continue to tolerate it. Seal their mountain gate and cut off their resources. Hmph, let them lose their inheritance! The most important thing for the four top factions is inheritance. Without the inheritance, they will be anxious!”

In fact, other than the Sea Moon Cliff and the Heavenly Sound Temple, the Sword Whisper Tower was not in a hurry at all. Fairy Lijiang and Sword Saint Taixuan had broken through to the Immortal Realm one after another, which meant that the two forces had a successor.

…

Spring passed and autumn came. The cold comes and the heat goes. Another 50 years passed. The members of the Cosmic Ranking had all changed. The young talents in the dynasty began to show their talents, but most of them were nurtured by the Yuhua Shen Dynasty.

In the back mountain of the Marquis of Zhenbei’s residence, it’s harvest time for another year. Yue Zhu and the twins were overjoyed. They ignored the sun and ran to the rice field to harvest.

Shen Ping was not like before. Instead, he sat under the fruit tree and ate the spiritual fruits that he had cultivated. The mountain wind came from the ravine at the back of the mountain, and it was incomparably cool. The air was filled with the fragrance of rice, and there was also spiritual qi that vaguely rivaled the heaven and earth essence energy.

Huo Ru brought over a jar of iced sour plum soup and boiled eggs. She smiled and placed them under the fruit tree. After breaking through to the Immortal Realm, she seemed to have regained her previous nature and ran to the back of the mountain when she had nothing to do.

She was wearing a simple embroidered dress. Her waist and hips were exquisite, and her charming eyes were no longer as cold as before. She looked like she was smiling, but there was an indescribable peace.

Last year, he asked Huo Ru what the Heartless Sword Dao was.

“To care only about yourself and not be nosy is the way of the heartless.” This was her answer and also the sword path she had stepped into.

There was a powerful aura in the astral winds in the sky and it quickly landed at the back of the mountain.

Shen Ping did not need to look to know that the Sword Master and the Cliffmaster had come to ask for money again. Ever since they had eaten spirit rice and spirit fruits, their mouths had become picky. They came every harvest season and did not stand on ceremony with Shen Ping at all.

Of course, they actually wanted to rope in Shen Ping because he had stepped into the Longevity Realm five years ago. This made the two of them envious. Only the Heavenly Palace had longevity-levels in the world. There were only four of them now. It was precisely because of the longevity-level giant in Penglai that the four top factions did not dare to resist at all and could only let Emperor Yu bully them.

If not for their strength, the inheritance would have been destroyed long ago. Even so, the number of their disciples had drastically decreased from tens of thousands in the past to less than 200 now. But the overall strength of their disciples had increased.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them didn’t leave either. Instead, they sat in the pavilion and discussed the current world. “No dynasty in the world can surpass time. Although Emperor Yu eliminated our forces, the Yuhua Shen Dynasty has nourished many aristocratic families. When they develop, the danger won’t be less than ours.”
