Chapter 580: Yu Di understands Shen Ping
Wenjian Tower.
The top floor of the highest attic.
The Sword Master stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, gazing at the mountains and rivers in the distance, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Are you saying that the young marquis who was personally granted a title by the Emperor is the powerful one who caused the celestial phenomena?"
The woman beside him said respectfully, "Yes, Sword Master."
She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I was there when the young marquis was three years old and had his bloodline tested. I certainly didn't realize he had such talent. Although Madam Yu and I have a grudge, my attitude is at most a little less positive. I won't be perfunctory about such matters."
The Sword Master turned around and looked into the woman's eyes. "You really wouldn't do that. I asked the people in the Sword Tower and they didn't dare to do such a thing. So, the young marquis has had his own fortune in these years, and it is an unimaginable great fortune?"
"That should be the case."
The woman said hurriedly.
But the Sword Master smiled, "To be able to allow an ordinary three-year-old child with ordinary talent to reach the realm of earthly immortals after only fourteen years of cultivation, even I can't do this. I'm afraid only the top masters of the ninth realm can have such magical powers to change fate."
"He wants to marry me, the sword master of Wenjian Tower?"
"right."
"Tell him that you can, but there are two conditions. First, he must become a member of my Sword Questioning Tower. Second, as long as he can defeat any of the top five sword masters within two years, I will not stop him."
Each of the top five sword types in Wenjian Tower has been cultivated for a hundred years.
Although they have not yet crossed the threshold of the Eighth Realm, each of them possesses the combat power of the Eighth Realm and can impact the top thirty on the Qiankun List.
You know.
The Qiankun Ranking is the world's ranking.
No matter whether it is the Demon Country or the Yuhua Divine Dynasty, anyone below the eighth realm can be on the list.
Those in the top thirty basically have the potential to reach the eighth level.
Although Shen Ping showed his real strength and even used his sword to move the celestial phenomena, in the eyes of the Sword Master, he was still too young and there was a huge gap between him and the swordsmen in Wenjian Tower.
Emperor Mountain.
The top of the snow mountain.
After Emperor Yu received the news from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, he was silent for a while. The seventeen-year-old land immortal was indeed the first since the establishment of the Divine Dynasty. Even when he was seventeen years old, he was only a sixth-level strongman.
But now he is in the late eighth realm, suppressing the emperor of a dynasty.
"It seems that the Zhenbei Marquis will give birth to another Immortal Realm strongman who can shock the Monster Country. This is a good thing for our Divine Dynasty."
"Send an order. The Marquis of Zhenbei is a man of extraordinary talent, and his sword is extremely powerful. He is a rare genius in the Yuhua Divine Dynasty. I grant him three carts of treasures, ten carts of jade and gold, five fine horses, and a hundred maids... From now on, he will go to the Northern Territory to take over the Zhenbei Legion."
Finish giving the order.
He laughed, "I'm afraid those guys in the Demon Country will get restless again. Let's see if our new Zhenbei Marquis can grow up under the impact of this Demon Country."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Several figures behind him left quickly.
And at the same time.
Lijiang Academy, Haiyue Cliff, and Tianyin Temple all sent orders to the envoys staying at the Marquis' Mansion to win over the Marquis at all costs.
As one of the five major forces, they don't care about ordinary land immortals, but a seventeen-year-old land immortal is completely different. This means that the other party is very likely to enter the immortal realm in the future.
Once you enter the realm of immortals.
From then on, immortals and mortals were separated.
Although the seventh realm is known as the land immortal, the truly powerful one is the eighth realm, otherwise it would be impossible for the Marquis of Zhenbei to suppress the Demon Kingdom for so many years.
…
Marquis' Mansion.
These days are very busy.
People came from everywhere to celebrate. Court officials who had rarely visited the court before, as well as generals, all sent gifts. The gifts alone could fill up an entire courtyard.
It is true that when you are poor in a busy city, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.
Ever since the death of Marquis Zhenbei in the Demon Country.
The Marquis's Mansion has been in decline.
Especially since the young marquis was found to have ordinary blood and bones, it was as deserted as the cold palace.
But now.
The bustle of the past has returned again.
The streets in front of the mansion were lined with vehicles that seemed to have no end.
Three-room courtyard.
Looking at his distraught son.
The third concubine sighed, "Son, can reading really make you a land immortal?"
His son said with a bitter face, "The facts are before us. This mansion is not mine after all."
"That's all."
"Don't force anything. If you can't get it, just accept your fate."
"From now on, you should be your brother's right-hand man. The imperial decree has been issued. Your brother will go to the Northern Territory. You should follow him. That is where you will be tempered."
Bamboo forest in the backyard.
Shen Ping turned a deaf ear to the hustle and bustle outside. He was practicing swordsmanship slowly in the bamboo forest with a bamboo sword in hand. His movements were very ordinary and he looked like a child playing. But Yue Zhu, who was standing outside the bamboo forest not far away, and Lieutenant General Chen felt that his swordsmanship was unfathomable.
Finished sword practice.
Walk out of the bamboo forest.
Yuezhu immediately stepped forward and told the maid to bring a basin of water and a towel to serve Shen Ping.
"No news from my mother yet?"
Shen Ping wiped it and asked casually.
Deputy General Chen walked up and said, "Not yet. I have already sent my personal guards to conduct preliminary investigations and notified the Xuan Yao Division. I believe there will be news soon. Your Majesty, don't worry. Madam is also a seventh-level land immortal. Nothing will happen to her."
Shen Ping hummed.
Land immortals are not rare among the five top forces, but looking at the world as a whole, they are still rare strong ones. At least if you want to kill a land immortal, you must have four or five of the same level to besiege him together.
However, he knew that once he revealed his true abilities, he would be attacked from all sides, just like the Marquis of Zhenbei back then.
It is simply outrageous that a powerful person in the immortal realm went deep into the demon country and died shortly after giving birth to his child.
It is impossible to say that there is no conspiracy behind this, and the ones who took action must be the powerful immortals in the world.
If we were to speculate on some conspiracy theories, it might be the work of Emperor Yu. After all, Marquis Zhenbei is too dazzling. If he becomes powerful in the Northern Territory, it would directly threaten the rule of the Divine Dynasty, which would be difficult for any emperor to tolerate.
There is no emotion in this matter.
"My Lord, the Sword Questioning Tower has replied, saying that if you want to marry a sword master, you must be a member of the Sword Questioning Tower, and you must defeat the top five sword masters. Currently, three of the top five sword masters in the Sword Questioning Tower are in the top 30 of the Qiankun Ranking, and the remaining two are in the top 30."
Deputy General Chen talked about the Qiankun List in detail.
This list mainly collects the geniuses from major forces, families, dynasties, and demon countries in the world. The top 100 are basically the most powerful ones. Those masters among the people who can rank in the top 200 are considered geniuses and will be absorbed by the major families.
Shen Ping smiled and asked, "Uncle Chen, with my strength, how high can I rank on the Qiankun Ranking?"
Yuezhu was the first to say, "My Lord, you will definitely be in the top fifty."
Deputy General Chen said seriously: "My Lord, please do not underestimate the world. Those who can make it onto the Qiankun Ranking are not weaklings. Those above the 50th place are all at the realm of land immortals, and those below the 50th place are all at the seventh realm. They are good at everything."
Shen Ping walked to the backyard and said, "In that case, let's go to the Northern Territory first. I'm a little bored staying in this mansion."
"As for the Sword Tower, ignore it."
It's really outrageous that you dare to make conditions to him.
"When I enter the eighth realm, I will see if this sword master has pride."
For him, reaching the immortal realm is just a matter of time accumulation, not a matter of realm threshold at all.
Deputy General Chen and Yue Zhu looked at each other helplessly.
Another ten days passed.
The rewards from the imperial capital have arrived.
And Shen Ping was also ready to go to the Northern Territory.
"My Lord, these 100 beauties are all extremely charming, but you are going to the Northern Territory to take over the army this time. If you bring beautiful women with you, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate."
"If there is anything wrong, Yuezhu, you should follow me. I am not used to eating food cooked by others. And those beauties, let them serve tea and water and serve me."
Shen Ping looks like a second-generation rich kid.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He knew that among these one hundred beauties, eighty percent were spies from Emperor Mountain, as well as spies from various major families, so he brought them with him so that they could keep a close eye on them.
Yuezhu smiled and said, "Yes, Lord."
She likes being with Shen Ping very much.
It's a pity that he doesn't have a special physique, otherwise Shen Ping would be able to communicate with him and study the Kun character.
The next day.
The convoy set off.
There were more than 120 personal guards, 100 beauties and maids, as well as people brought by the second and third wives, a total of more than 300 people. It looked very grand, and did not look like a military training mission to the border at all, but rather like an diplomatic mission going abroad.
"Not bad, your massage technique is great. From now on, you will be responsible for massaging this Lord."
Shen Ping was eating grapes, looking at the large white mass in front of him, and said with a smile.
The maid hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, my Lord, for your mercy."
I have to say.
The quality of the maids rewarded by the imperial capital was indeed very good. All of them were tall and slender, with well-proportioned figures, and skin as white and moist as milk. It was obvious that the Yu Emperor understood him.
Yue Zhu sat on the carriage and whispered, "My Lord, I'm afraid this journey will not be peaceful. Your strength is spreading now, and there will inevitably be people who will come to challenge you. Why don't we speed up the journey?"
Shen Ping shook his head. "No need. I haven't been out much, so I'll take this opportunity to appreciate the scenery in the northwest of the Divine Dynasty."
Just as Yuezhu said.
After just a few days of walking, a folk master came to challenge him. He was a master of the fifth realm, and Shen Ping didn't even need to take any action. He could solve the problem with the help of Yue Zhu.
And the further you go, the stronger the challenges will be.
There were even people from the Qiankun List.
Shen Ping solved the problem with just one sword, allowing many people to witness his strength.
"The sword intent is truly condensed and pure, deeply influenced by his mother, Madam Yu's true teachings of the Piaoxue Sword Technique!"
"If he joins the Sword-asking Tower, he can easily become a sword master."
"Okay, no need to arrange more people to test it."
"How did he cultivate? Back then, I sent land immortals to destroy his foundation, but it was useless and made him powerful. It's too late to regret now. Let's wait and see what happens in the Demon Country. The Demon Country will definitely not let him reach the Northern Territory safely and take over the Northern Suppression Army."
…
The twentieth day of the convoy’s journey.
We have left the provincial capital and are about to enter the northern region, but it will still take a month to reach the border military area.
Normally, it would only take a few days to travel by horse day and night, but the caravan was moving too slowly. Once it was windy and rainy, Shen Ping had to rest on the spot, which wasted a lot of time.
Boom~ just like now.
Dark clouds rolled in and thunder flashed.
In the blink of an eye, raindrops as big as beans fell down, and the heavy rain completely soaked the entire convoy.
Lieutenant General Chen and his personal guards set up the tent.
Yuezhu ordered the other maids to move all the things in the car into the tent, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Lean on the building to listen to the wind and rain, and watch the world indifferently."
Shen Ping crossed his legs comfortably and looked at the rain outside.
The guards around him remained silent.
Looking at this young marquis quietly.
Lieutenant General Chen was speechless. He thought that only the young marquis would have the leisure and elegance to do this at a time like this.
Yuezhu came to the left side of Shen Ping and put a windbreaker on him. "My Lord, it seems that the rain will not stop for a while. We have to set up camp here tonight."
"There might be monsters in the wilderness."
Shen Ping smiled and said, "It's not that there will be, but that there will definitely be. Look, it's already here."
As soon as these words came out.
Vice General Chen immediately shouted, "Be alert."
boom.
now.
The rain around the tent and carriage was continuous, and the water droplets falling on the ground were like lake water, sweeping into waves and surging from all directions.
There are also huge wolf-shaped heads on the surface of the waves.
"It's a water wolf monster."
"They are all monsters of the fifth realm."
The guards quickly rushed out of the tent, drew their swords and prepared to fight the monster, while the maids huddled in the tent and shivered.
Shen Ping said casually, "Don't panic. Sending these little minions is just a test. However, the Demon Country is overestimating its own capabilities. Since they know that I am a seventh-level land immortal, they should at least send someone at the immortal level!"
While talking.
He flicked his fingers lightly, and a ray of sword intent passed through the raindrops and condensed into a water sword in the blink of an eye. With its devastating sweeping force, it killed more than a dozen wolf monsters in front of him.
Crash.
A large amount of water waves crashed onto the ground, revealing a number of water wolves that were two or three meters tall.
Deputy General Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "My Lord, the immortal realm of the demon country must not cross the border. Even if a great demon is sent over, it will be at most the seventh realm."
Shen Ping shrugged, "The seventh realm... forget it, let's speed up the journey tomorrow."
He just wanted to see the appearance of an eighth-level immortal.
It seems difficult now.
As we get closer to the area where the northern border troops are located, the number of monsters sent by the Monster Kingdom increases, but their strength basically does not exceed the sixth level.
And wait until the day when the convoy arrived at the border army.
King Dongchang came up with his personal guards and said with a smile, "Marquis Zhenbei is indeed a promising young man. He has killed many great monsters along the way and made great contributions to our Yuhua Divine Dynasty. However, the border troops are different from the state capitals, and those legion commanders are not monsters. If you want to make them surrender, I'm afraid Marquis Zhenbei will have to spend more effort."
Shen Ping smiled calmly and said, "Don't bother King Dongchang to worry about this."
Prince Dongchang glanced at the maids in the convoy and said, "It seems that the Marquis of Zhenbei is also a romantic man. Are you satisfied with the beauty that His Majesty gave you?"
