Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 1019: Secret of the Heavenly Palace (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations

Shen Ping stood at the entrance of the palace and stared at the elegant figure. His heart stirred. The Sword Dao secret technique recorded in the Mountain and River Diagram was left behind by the master of the Realm Sea Peak. Without the True Book of Dao Origin, it was impossible to understand the contents of the secret technique.

However, the elegant man in front of him had clearly displayed the true intent of the Taiyi Sword Dao just now. Moreover, the true intent he had grasped was stronger than his.

“Who are you?” he shouted in a low voice. His voice reverberated throughout the empty hall. However, the refined man was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Shen Ping’s true soul power erupted and he displayed the Chaos Hole Sword Dao he had comprehended. This sword Dao could not compare to the power of the Taiyi Sword Dao, and after the exchange just now, he knew that he was not the elegant man’s match and so, he could only use his strongest sword Dao.

Boom.

Sword light slashed out. Like a black hole, a miniature world was formed in the blink of an eye. The entire sword light was a world. The surrounding space distorted and time seemed to have stopped. The elegant man did not move. Just as the sword light was about to slash over, he waved his hand again. The sword light easily shattered the sword light of the Chaos Hole Sword Dao.

“Is this the ability of a longevity-level powerhouse?!” Shock flashed in Shen Ping’s eyes. This was the first time his emotions had changed like this since he reincarnated. The strength of the scholarly figure before him had exceeded his expectations. This was especially true for the sword light just now. The level of true intent had clearly not changed, but it had still shattered his Chaos Hole Sword Dao.

Obviously, the other party had already reached the level of perfection in the Sword Dao.

“You shouldn’t be here.”

The refined voice sounded again.

Shen Ping frowned and looked at the elegant man’s back. In the end, he gritted his teeth and turned around. He could not figure out this man’s strength or his identity. He went back to the capital of the Demon Nation.

The Demon Emperor welcomed him respectfully, “Marquis of Zhenbei, the Heavenly Palace has already sent out news that they have canceled the mission to attack the border of the Yuhua Shen Dynasty.”

Shen Ping raised his eyebrows. “Who sent you the message? I came from the Heavenly Palace, but I didn’t sense any Immortal Realm experts.”

The Demon Emperor hurriedly said, “The message is a wisp of sword intent, not an expert. This wisp of sword intent is extremely strong. I can’t resist it at all.”

Shen Ping guessed that it was most likely sent by the elegant man, but what was the other party’s intention? “Did the sword intent send any other news?”

The Demon Emperor replied, “The Heavenly Palace has its own rules. If you forcefully interfere, you have to bear the consequences.”

Shen Ping snorted and disappeared. He returned to the Marquis of Zhenbei’s residence. He walked along the long corridor in his backyard and could not help but fall into deep thought.

Judging from the short exchange, the elegant man did not seem surprised that he had comprehended the Taiyi Sword Dao. Only those with the authority of the bracelet could come into contact with the Taiyi Sword Dao. In other words, it was very likely that the other party knew this information. It might have been left behind by the master Realm Sea Peak, or even be related to him.

“Wait, that’s not right. Even if the person with the bracelet’s authority enters the palace world, his memories will be sealed. It’s impossible for him to remember the True Book of Dao Origin. It’s naturally impossible for him to comprehend the Taiyi Sword Dao… Could it be that as long as he comprehends the True Book of Dao Origin, he will understand this Sword Dao secret technique when he looks at the Mountain and River Painting?”

He pondered for a long time, yet he could not figure it out, so he simply suppressed this thought. In any case, no matter who the other party was, he was definitely related to the owner of Realm Sea Peak. Shen Ping’s goal in coming to this red hall world was not to figure this out, but to obtain the red bracelet.

“Every reincarnator of the palace world can stay for at most 3,000 years. After cultivating for another 3,000 years, I will be able to obtain the red bracelet! However, in order to prevent Miss Meng from going back on her word, I have to strive to comprehend 30% of my Chaos Hole Sword Dao or 30% of my Sword Dao!”

Next, he returned to his previous leisurely life. Apart from practicing the sword, he had a few more hobbies. Fishing, farming, and planting trees. For this reason, a few plots of land were specially opened on the right side of the back mountain of the Marquis Mansion. One was used to plant fruit trees, and the other was used to plant rice.

Every time the rice ripens, Shen Ping personally harvested it, but he shook his head every time. “It doesn’t taste right.”

Yue Zhu could not help but ask, “Marquis, what kind of rice do you want to plant?”

“Spirit rice.”

“Spirit rice?”

Seeing the confusion on Yue Zhu’s face, Shen Ping smiled and did not say anything. He indeed missed the taste of the spirit rice from a long time ago. The red hall world had heaven and earth essence energy that was integrated into the body, if one comprehended sword intent, it would condense sword essence energy. However, there were no ordinary spiritual plants like spirit rice. Instead, some natural treasures would be born.

Therefore, he had been thinking about how to improve it these days. He used the essence of heaven and earth to transform the rice into spirit rice and nurture the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Whether it was natural energies or spiritual energy, they were just forms of energy to him. He was just finding something to do for himself. He was also clear-headed and did whatever he thought of.

It’s the time of year. The Yuhua Shen Dynasty granted amnesty to the world and waived taxes for next year. This made many commoners celebrate. For a few days, they were immersed in joy and longing for the future.

Some people were happy, while others were sad.

The Sword Master and the Cliffmaster had been frequently coming to the Marquis’ Residence recently. The two of them did not expect to cultivate the Taiyi Sword Dao anymore. They focused mainly on the ordinary Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the Mountain and River Painting. They were both Immortals and could be considered to have entered the Dao. Their cultivation was much faster than the Taiyi Sword Dao.
