Chapter 596: The vicissitudes of life

After Palace Master Yan left.

Shen Ping thought about it and decided to go to Penglai in the East China Sea to see if the immortal giant in the Heavenly Palace is as strong as the elegant man in the North Ice Pole. If he also practices the "Taiyi Sword Art", then he will stay in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and not go anywhere else.

After all, he really couldn't beat that elegant man in swordsmanship now.

call out.

Within the gale layer.

He rushed towards the East China Sea at a very fast speed.

Different from the Arctic Icefield.

The layer of strong winds did not hinder the way to the East China Sea, but when almost reaching the Heavenly Palace, one could see a large formation formed by the elemental force of heaven and earth. The power of this formation was quite powerful, and one would definitely be discovered if one entered rashly.

However, Shen Ping was a master of formations. With his true soul power, he quietly broke the formation in an instant and entered the formation without attracting any attention.

Inside the formation.

Separated by fog.

Below the cloud layer are islands with many buildings. It is obvious that Penglai in the East China Sea is not as desolate as the Northern Ice Field. Disciples of the Heavenly Palace can be seen everywhere on the islands, and some of them are at the lowest level of terrestrial immortals.

Shen Ping also sensed the mark of the true spirit, which he left on the body of the immortal after the sword exchange conference of Lijiang Academy ended.

He wasn't surprised.

In fact, ever since he learned about the four heavenly palaces including Penglai in the East China Sea, he knew that Palace Master Yan had not told him the truth.

Including the Sword Master, the Master of Haiyue Cliff, etc.

Except for the Heavenly Palace in the Arctic Pole, other Heavenly Palaces basically maintain contact with the world's top forces.

Covered by true soul power.

He came quietly to the island where the Lijiang Fairy was.

At this moment, two immortals were talking to Yao Xian.

"Yao Xian, you better hand over the Water-Dividing Sword Technique. As long as you are willing to take it out, the Heavenly Palace will definitely allow you to easily break through to the Immortal Realm. In the future, you may even become a giant of immortality!"

"Yes, your Lijiang Academy is part of my Tiangong. If it weren't for Palace Master Ji, we wouldn't be so nice to you."

Fairy Lijiang shook her head, "Two seniors, this Water-Dividing Sword Technique is not mine. If it were mine, I would naturally be willing to hand it over."

One of the immortals said, "We know that it was the Marquis of Zhenbei who taught you, but since he taught you, then it's yours. Besides, Deputy Palace Master Yan also said that the Marquis of Zhenbei was paid for viewing the landscape scroll with this sword technique."

The Lijiang Fairy still refused.

This made the two immortals angry, "You don't want to learn the Water-Dividing Sword Technique, and you don't want to contact the Marquis of Zhenbei. Tell me, what value do you have here? What's the point of the Heavenly Palace training you!"

Fairy Lijiang held the sword and said, "Kill me now!"

"you!"

"Brother Qin, calm down. After all, she is from the Lijiang Academy, and Palace Master Ji is an elder of our Heavenly Palace. Give her some time, and she will figure it out."

The immortal realm master surnamed Qin snorted and said coldly, "If it weren't for Palace Master Ji, you would be dead now. Stay here well. If you don't hand over the Water-Dividing Sword Technique, don't even think about breaking through the immortal realm."

Wait for them to leave.

The Fairy of Lijiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She silently held her sword and stared out the window in a daze.

"Junior Sister Xian'er."

Shen Ping appeared slowly.

Yao Xian was stunned, then surprised and happy, "Shen, Senior Brother Shen, why are you here?"

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Deputy Palace Master Yan told me that you were taken away by the Heavenly Palace, so I came to take a look. Don't worry, they won't be able to find you."

Yao Xian had inexplicable confidence in Shen Ping, but still said, "Brother Shen, I'm safe here, nothing will happen, you'd better leave quickly, if you are discovered by the people in the Heavenly Palace, it will be too late. There are many immortal realms and immortal realms in the Heavenly Palace."

Shen Ping waved his hand, "I will leave soon, but before I leave, I still can't let you go. You can hand over the Water-Dividing Sword Technique. That set of sword techniques is not that precious, and the real sword technique in the Landscape Scroll is not the Water-Dividing Sword."

"Ah... But, but that was something Senior Brother Shen realized himself. How can we give it to outsiders?"

"No problem."

"Listen to me, you must first break through to the Immortal Realm and then you can be free."

Listen to this.

Seeing that Shen Ping was serious, Lijiang Immortal nodded slowly, "Well, I'll listen to Senior Brother Shen."

Shen Ping asked, "Is the Palace Master of your Lijiang Academy also here?"

"right."

"I didn't know this secret before, and I thought the Palace Master had been in seclusion. Later, when I was brought to the Heavenly Palace, I realized that there was such a force outside the secular world."

The Fairy of Li River told everything she knew.

After Shen Ping had an idea in mind, he gave a few instructions to Fairy Lijiang, and then came to the main temple island. Using his true soul power, he found the location of the immortal realm master. However, compared with the elegant man in the North Ice Pole, this immortal realm giant was much weaker, and even he could not detect it.

Stayed here for more than ten days.

He got a lot of information.

The reason why those immortal realms are eager to obtain the swordsmanship of the landscape scroll is mainly because of the order of this immortal giant. It seems that the swordsmanship of the landscape scroll is not only the supreme swordsmanship, but also the key to open a forbidden area on the stone tablet.

In addition to these.

Emperor Mountain does have connections and cooperation with Penglai in the East China Sea.

Even the two major heavenly palaces, the South China Sea Tianya and the Western Frontier Desert, maintained a tacit attitude.

However, the North Pole Palace seems to be separate from the three major palaces.

Return to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Shen Ping couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The four great celestial palaces are not monolithic. Judging from the last visit to the North Pole Palace, there are almost no immortal realms in the North Pole Palace. On the contrary, Penglai in the East China Sea has been cultivating immortal realms. However, they will not easily interfere in the world.

“That elegant man from the North Pole Palace is clearly practicing the Taiyi Sword Dao, but the other immortal realm giants don’t know how to do it, and they are actually wary of the North Pole Palace…”

"It seems that the Beiji Tiangong is the real Tiangong."

"Who cares what the inside story is? As long as it doesn't affect me, I don't care."

Think of this.

He suppressed his distracting thoughts and continued to perfect his plan of cultivating spirit seeds, while improving his sword skills.

Time passes quietly.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.

Under the calm cultivation, the rice finally gave birth to spiritual seeds. "Haha, hard work pays off. I can finally eat a bowl of fragrant spiritual rice in this palace world... The rice grains are light red and white, so let's call it white crystal red rice!"

Huo Ru, Yue Zhu, and the two maids Yun Yue and Yun Xia were all speechless when they saw the Marquis of Zhenbei who was as excited as a child in the paddy field.

He is a dignified immortal and the Marquis of Zhenbei, but he is just like a farmer. If it gets out, he will be laughed at by outsiders. However, after eating the white crystal red rice, they no longer think so.

"My husband is really amazing. He can even grow such delicious rice!"

Huo Ru praised repeatedly.

The taste of this white crystal red rice is so good that after eating only half a bowl, she felt as if she had ascended to heaven. She felt comfortable all over, and the heat flowing through her body actually increased her sword energy a little. This was simply incredible. She was a land immortal!

Not to mention rice, even the treasures from heaven and earth are of no use.

Shen Ping smiled proudly and said, "Of course not. Your husband is very capable. You have already seen it. Yunyue, Yunxia, ​​what do you two think?"

The two beautiful twins had rosy cheeks and their bodies softened when they heard these words.

Huo Ru pinched Shen Ping's waist and said, "Can't you be more serious? Aunt Yue Zhu is still here."

Yue Zhu smiled and said, "It's okay. I have watched him grow up since he was a child. I hope he can continue the family line for the Marquis' Mansion soon. You guys should work harder."

Next month.

The fruit trees also produced magical dates.

With the spiritual rice and spiritual dates, Shen Ping became more confident that he could cultivate more spiritual seeds.

And when he was enjoying life in the Marquis' Mansion without wanting to leave.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The world is in a state of constant change.

Ten years period.

The Yuhua Divine Dynasty rectified the government, introduced various reform measures, and continued to increase the power of the Xuan Yao Division. It established branches of the Xuan Yao Division in provincial capitals, county towns, and even towns, and selected good seedlings suitable for cultivation for training.

In addition.

The post stations in various prefectures across the country were renovated, and a coordinated information system was established to continuously improve the imperial capital's control over the local areas.

In the case of this innovation.

The four top forces, including their only three affiliated forces, had an extremely difficult life. Having lost the local tax revenue, they even had trouble making ends meet. Some of them who relied on their strength to rob were directly captured by the Xuan Yao Si or killed on the spot.

But whether it was the Sword-Wen Tower, Haiyue Cliff, Tianyin Temple, or Lijiang Academy, none of them took the initiative to step forward, but instead restrained their disciples.

However, Emperor Mountain did not dare to push too far.

After all, the four top forces are all inextricably linked to the Heavenly Palace. Not to mention the others, the Lijiang Academy alone is of the same lineage as Penglai of the East China Sea. Although Emperor Yu used the landscape swordsmanship to gain the support of Penglai of the East China Sea, he did not dare to really attack the Lijiang Academy and could only clip off their affiliated wings step by step.

To this.

The four top forces chose to be tolerant.

"Humph, this Feather Emperor is quite shrewd. He only knows a few tricks. When he fails to satisfy Penglai of the East China Sea, let's see how he explains it!"

"Just hang in there. Unless the Feather Emperor breaks through the realm of immortality, he will die sooner or later. When he dies, the world will belong to our four major forces again!"

“It’s just a little harder now.”

The Sword Master and the Sea Moon Cliff Master often came to Shen Ping to complain, but they were just complaints.

Fifteen years after returning from Penglai in the East China Sea.

Fairy Lijiang broke through to the immortal realm. Her temperament became even more pure and otherworldly, and she had the ethereal and light air of a real fairy. This directly stimulated Huo Ru. In fact, Huo Ru knew that Fairy Lijiang was interested in her husband, but she just hadn't taken that step into the relationship.

She didn't care at first, but after so many years of getting along, although she practiced the ruthless swordsmanship, she had a request for Shen Ping in her heart, so she was more eager to break through the immortal realm. However, the more anxious she was, the more difficult it was to break through.

Shen Ping saw the obsession in her heart and asked her to follow him to grow rice, spiritual fruits, and raise fish to cultivate her body and mind.

It was the twenty-third year.

Huo Ru also broke through to the immortal realm.

And the same year.

Emperor Yu took action against the three subordinate forces.

The Sword Master and the Sea Moon Cliff Master still chose to be tolerant. They would rather give up their subordinate forces than come into conflict with the Yuhua Divine Dynasty at this time.

Emperor Mountain.

Yu Di said coldly, "How patient! I underestimated them."

An old man beside him couldn't help but say, "This is not a solution. We at Emperor Mountain don't dare to really take action against the four top forces. Once we do, the Penglai Palace in the East China Sea will definitely come to punish us!"

Emperor Yu knew this very well. "The current situation in the world is in the hands of Emperor Mountain. Since they choose to tolerate it, let them continue to tolerate it. Block their mountain gates and cut off their resources. Humph, let them lose their inheritance!"

"The most important thing for the four top forces is inheritance. Without inheritance, they will be anxious!"

In fact, apart from Haiyue Cliff and Tianyin Temple, Lijiang Academy and Wenjian Tower were not in a hurry at all. Lijiang Fairy and Taixuan Sword Fairy had broken through the immortal realm one after another, which meant that the two major forces had successors.

…

Spring goes and autumn comes.

Winter comes and summer goes.

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

The members of the Tianxia Qiankun Ranking have been replaced, and young talents in the dynasty have begun to emerge, but most of them are trained by the Yuhua Divine Dynasty.

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

Back mountain.

It's harvest time again.

Yuezhu and her two twin brothers had happy looks on their faces. They ran to the rice fields to harvest regardless of the scorching sun.

Shen Ping did not sit down like he did before. Instead, he sat down under the fruit tree and ate the spiritual fruit he had cultivated. The mountain breeze came from the ditch behind the mountain, and it was extremely cool. The air was filled with the fragrance of rice, and there was also a faint spiritual energy that could compete with the vitality of heaven and earth.

Huo Ru brought a jar of iced sour plum soup and boiled eggs, and placed them under the fruit tree with a smile. After her transformation and breakthrough to the immortal realm, she seemed to have regained her former nature and would run to the back mountain when she had nothing to do.

She was wearing a simple embroidered skirt, with a slender waist and hips, and her charming eyes were no longer as cold as before in Wenjian Tower. She seemed to be smiling, but there was an indescribable tranquility in her.

Last year he asked Huo Ru what the ruthless sword art was.

"Just do your own thing and don't be ruthless in other people's affairs." This was her answer, and also the sword path she embarked on.

laugh.

There was a powerful aura in the sky's gale layer, which soon landed on the back mountain.

Shen Ping knew without looking that it was the Sword Master and the Sea Moon Cliff Master who came to extort money again. Ever since they had eaten the spiritual rice and spiritual fruit once, they had become picky eaters. They would come every harvest season and were not polite to Shen Ping at all.

Of course, they actually wanted to build a relationship with Shen Ping, because five years ago, Shen Ping entered the realm of immortality.

This made the two of them envious and jealous.

The realm of immortality in the world only exists in the Heavenly Palace, and there are only four of them at present.

It is precisely because of the immortal giant in Penglai, East China Sea that the four top forces dare not resist in the slightest and can only allow themselves to be bullied by Emperor Yu.

If they had not relied on their strength to barely hold on until today, the inheritance would have been destroyed long ago. Even so, the number of their disciples has been greatly reduced, from tens of thousands in the past to less than two hundred now, but the overall strength of the disciples has improved.

After eating and drinking.

The two did not leave, but sat in the pavilion and talked about the current world. "No dynasty in the world can last forever. Although the Feather Emperor has eliminated our power, the Feathered Divine Dynasty has nurtured many noble families. When they develop, the harm they cause will be no less than ours."
