Chapter 598: The Dilemma of the Feather Emperor

The elegant man did not reply to Shen Ping's words, but said, "When you defeat me, ask this question again. Taiyi Sword Dao includes all sword arts, whether it is ruthless, affectionate, or other sword arts, they are all one. It's just that you want to defeat me, it's impossible to do it with Taiyi Sword Dao alone."

Shen Ping was silent.

From the first time he fought with the elegant man, he knew that the other party had a very high level of attainment in Taiyi swordsmanship. He even suspected that the other party had already achieved great success in swordsmanship!

Until today.

The elegant man stopped him from killing the giant of the Longevity Realm in Penglai, East China Sea. He understood the gap between him and the other party even more clearly.

"Marquis of Zhenbei."

"You have comprehended the Landscape Scroll, so you should know that there is another sword technique above the Taiyi Sword Technique. That sword technique is the true supreme avenue, also known as the Nameless Sword Technique. Although it only has one or two moves, the sword technique contained in it leads directly to the pinnacle."

"If you can view the stele, it will be of great benefit to your future, so as long as you can defeat me within three thousand years, you can go and view the stele."

The elegant man left after saying this.

Looking at his back.

Shen Ping frowned.

To be honest, he had no confidence at all in defeating the elegant man. Although he could continuously improve his understanding of swordsmanship through the virtual frame, the elegant man also said that it was impossible to defeat him by relying on Taiyi swordsmanship.

Moreover, the further you advance in kendo, the harder it is to improve.

"Forget it. If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, I'm doomed. It's already a huge gain to be able to comprehend the top avenue of heaven and earth in this world. I can't expect too much. Just let nature take its course."

Figure this out.

He stopped worrying about it and continued to immerse himself in cultivating the spirit seeds.

A few months later.

It's harvest season again.

At a glance, the back mountain is full of golden rice ears and the air is filled with the fragrance of rice. On the east side of the back mountain there are jujube trees and an orchard formed by fruit trees. A few squirrels are stealing food on the fruit trees, and there are a few foxes looking around under the trees.

The sun is scorching.

But every servant in the Marquis' Mansion was filled with smiles, because they knew that they could eat fragrant and delicious spiritual rice again. After eating this kind of spiritual rice, not only could they quickly improve their strength, but it could also drive away evil spirits and cure diseases. You couldn't get it outside.

Pavilion.

Yunyue and Yunxia, ​​two beautiful twins, sat on Shen Ping's legs, one feeding him sweet grapes while the other peeled oranges. The fragrance of the two girls filled the pavilion under the hot wind.

After a while.

Huo Ru walked in, her slender waist and hips twisting gently. Although she was wearing a cloth dress, her neck revealed a large area of ​​whiteness. Her forehead, where her black hair reached her eyebrows, was covered with a layer of fine sweat, but her skin became more moist and white, making her stand out from the servants who were harvesting rice ears.

After breaking through to the Immortal Realm.

Her body is constantly being tempered by the elemental energy of heaven and earth, and with the replenishment of spiritual energy over the years, her temperament has become more ethereal and fairy-like.

Even the twins Yunyue and Yunxia would pale in comparison to her.

"lady."

The two women saluted hurriedly.

Then he left the pavilion on his own accord.

Huo Ru handed the washed spiritual dates to Shen Ping and said coquettishly, "You didn't even bother with the orchard. It's almost been eaten up by those monsters."

Shen Ping took a bite of the crispy and sweet spiritual date and said with a smile, "All things have spirits, and those monsters are also part of the natural cycle. Why should we drive them away? If you have nothing to do, go and clean up the valley behind the mountain. You can plant a few more acres of good farmland next year."

Huo Ru rolled his eyes, "Sword Master and Sea Moon Cliff Master didn't come?"

Just saying.

Two powerful auras from the gale layer landed on the pavilion in the blink of an eye.

"Haha, it's our blessing to be talked about by Taixuan Sword Immortal!"

The sword master still looks like a teenager.

The Lord of Haiyue Cliff changed his clothes today.

Look at the aura of the two people.

Apparently there has been some progress recently.

Shen Ping congratulated him.

The sword master chuckled and said, "We have practiced swordsmanship for so many years. If we haven't made any progress, then we are just being mediocre."

There are actually six levels of the immortal realm.

Although reincarnation is nothing to Shen Ping, it is a symbol of strength to the Sword Master and others. Most of the immortals in the world are below the third level, but the Sword Master and the Lord of Haiyue Cliff have now broken through to the fifth level.

At the level of the immortal realm, it is ranked among the top.

Shen Ping glanced at the Sword Master and said casually, "You two seem to be in a good mood. It shouldn't just be a breakthrough in strength, right?"

The Sword Master took the spiritual dates and ate them without hesitation, saying as he ate, "I still can't hide it from the Marquis of Zhenbei. Tsk tsk, the imperial capital has been very restless recently. It is said that because of the affairs of the two great families, there is a huge quarrel. Even the guy Yu Di got angry in the court, which is rare!"

The Lord of Haiyue Cliff drank a sip of iced sour plum soup, enjoying it and echoed, "The Feather Emperor has no time to care about our four top forces now. Humph, I said long ago that the Feathered Divine Dynasty would be dragged down by the aristocratic families, and now there is already such a sign."

“And there is Yu Di. I heard that he was seriously injured in the battle with the Demon Nation, and his origin was also damaged. He is only at the third level of the Immortal Realm. Once his origin is damaged, he is doomed to be unable to break through to the fourth level. He can only retreat to Emperor Mountain to recuperate!”

The Sword Master whispered, "According to the succession rules of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty, a Yu Emperor must step down after serving for a thousand years. In another three hundred years, the Yu Emperor's term will expire. Recently, the dispute over the crown prince in the imperial capital has intensified!"

"If Yu Di hadn't been injured, he could still be suppressed, but he... our four top forces finally have hope."

Shen Ping rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Why, you guys are still planning to wait for Emperor Yu to abdicate, then come out again, and let the four top forces resound throughout the world again, and restore to their former glory?"

The Lord of Haiyue Cliff said nothing.

The Sword Master looked at Shen Ping, thought for a moment and said, "Marquis Zhenbei, you have seen how hard it has been for us under the suppression of the Feather Emperor over the years. We have no intention of restoring our previous rule, but we must at least restore our inheritance!"

"Of course, there are also good things in Yu Di's series of practices. At least they have saved the people in the area from being harmed by monsters. If we restore our inheritance, we will also increase our strength in this regard and let the disciples go down the mountain to kill monsters as much as possible."

The Lord of Haiyue Cliff also nodded in agreement.

After nearly two hundred years of living together, they have also figured out Shen Ping's temperament and know where his bottom line is.

"Don't talk about state affairs."

Shen Ping pulled the corner of his mouth and stopped the topic. What he said before was just a few words he said casually, and he didn't intend to make them stay quiet. Even though he was very powerful, he didn't want to interfere too much in such matters.

Everything in a family has its destiny.

The four top forces have stood in this world for so many years, and have clashed with successive dynasties more than once or twice.

However, this time, the four top forces were suppressed severely.

On the one hand, it’s because Yu Di is very capable, and on the other hand, it’s also related to him.

If he hadn't pressed it.

With the Sword Master's temper, he would have joined forces with Tianyin Temple, Haiyue Cliff and other forces to fight against Emperor Mountain, and he would have done so early on. At that time, the wars of previous dynasties would definitely be repeated. He might even join forces with the Demon Kingdom to invade the Yuhua Divine Dynasty on a large scale.

This has happened in all dynasties.

Because for the four top forces, dynasties can change, but they must never lose control.

And it really depends on the background.

Emperor Mountain cannot compare with the four top forces.

…

Penglai of the East China Sea.

Inside the Heavenly Palace.

The man in green robe was the immortal realm giant of the Heavenly Palace. He had a gloomy face at the moment. After the last fight, he knew that it would be difficult for him to snatch the Taiyi sword art from the hands of the Zhenbei Marquis. Moreover, this matter had been known by his ancestors. If he did it again, he would definitely be punished.

But it is impossible for him to give up Taiyi Sword Art.

"Since the Marquis of Zhenbei can teach the swordsmanship to the Emperor Mountain, the Sword Questioning Tower and other forces, he can naturally teach it to Fairy Lijiang. It seems that this matter can only be solved from Fairy Lijiang!"

"Someone, let Fairy Lijiang come to see me."

…

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

In the bamboo forest.

Shen Ping continued to practice swordsmanship with a bamboo sword as he did before. His sword moves were simple and plain, without any fixed techniques. It looked like he was just chopping randomly, but each sword move contained the ways of heaven and earth and followed the laws of nature.

If an ordinary person could comprehend the sword marks left on the bamboo alone, he or she could become a master of swordsmanship.

"Husband."

"The Lijiang Fairy is here."

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

Huo Ru said softly.

Shen Ping put away the bamboo sword, turned around and saw Yao Xian in white and green clothes. The last time he met her was when she broke through the immortal realm. Now, calculating the time, it has been more than a hundred years. Now she can be called a fairy.

Compared to Huo Ru, the Taixuan Sword Immortal, he has a fairy-like aura.

Come to the backyard.

Sitting next to the stone platform.

Huo Ru poured Yao Xian a cup of fragrant tea.

"Why did the fairy come to my Zhenbei Marquis Mansion today?"

Haven't seen you for over a hundred years.

After all, there is still some distance and unfamiliarity.

Fairy Lijiang said softly, "The Lord of Penglai Palace asked me to come here. He wants me to practice the true swordsmanship that you learned from the landscape scroll, and then teach it to him."

Huo Ru frowned, "Yao Xian, your husband treats you well, how could you do this?"

Shen Ping smiled, looked at Fairy Lijiang and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I... didn't think too much about it. I just wanted to stay with you for a little longer."

The Lijiang Fairy lowered her head and said.

Only then did Huo Ru realize that she had misunderstood Yao Xian.

"Okay, you stay here from now on. I'm planning to let Huo Ru open up a piece of land in the valley, so you can follow her."

"good."

Not everyone can practice Taiyi Sword.

Without the illustrations of the Daoyuan True Book, it is impossible to understand it. Even if you practice it, it is just the most ordinary sword moves. Shen Ping doesn't mind teaching, but he just disdains the methods of the Penglai Palace Master.

that's all.

There is one more immortal in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

And there was a new woman in the back mountain who was often busy with farmland like Huo Ru.

Time passes slowly.

In the blink of an eye, another two hundred years passed.

It has been more than four hundred years since Shen Ping was reincarnated into this world.

After the second war between the Yuhua Divine Dynasty and the Demon Kingdom, the situation in the world became increasingly chaotic. The imperial families' control increased day by day, and they even directly participated in the fight for the crown prince, turning the imperial capital into a huge vortex.

In this situation.

The status of the Xuan Yao Si gradually declined.

Many land gods and immortals were forced to be involved in the court struggle.

Although the Emperor Yu has been trying his best to suppress it, this kind of thing is simply not something that can be suppressed, and the Emperor Yu cannot deal with it as he did with the four top forces, with thunder and lightning sweeping away the snow, because both sides of his hands are made of flesh, and facing the princes fighting for the throne, he himself cannot make up his mind.

"The one who inherits the throne must be like me!"

These are the words of the Feather Emperor.

But the key is that a prince with a personality like his is often very ambitious. What he does goes against the control of the Feather Emperor, and he is unhappy about it. He is also suppressed by other princes and even aristocratic families. The rising aristocratic families do not want another Feather Emperor with such strong control to appear.

Therefore, after much mediation, the prince was finally forced to leave Beijing in disgrace.

The remaining princes started fighting again.

The Sword Master and the Sea Moon Cliff Master were also behind the scenes fanning the flames, but they hid it very well.

This day.

A guest came to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

"Meet the father-in-law."

Shen Ping said calmly.

Seeing Shen Ping's indifference, the eunuch was immediately dissatisfied. "I came here to ask the Marquis of Zhenbei to join the Fifth Prince of our dynasty. When the Fifth Prince ascends the throne, I will allow you to keep your title and maintain your position as the Marquis of Zhenbei. Otherwise, if other princes take the lead, your position as the Marquis will definitely be lost!"

Shen Ping said calmly, "The title of Zhenbei Hou was won by my father for his military merits in guarding the northern border and killing more than hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers. It was also conferred by the current emperor. No matter who inherits the throne, it will be difficult to change this fact."

The white-faced, beardless eunuch snorted coldly, "Marquis Zhenbei, the emperor has allowed you to inherit the Marquisate, but a new emperor appoints new ministers. In another hundred years, a new emperor will ascend the throne. By then, things may not be the same. You have to make your own decision!"

After saying that, he left.

And then several more people came, all of them tried to win over Shen Ping. In fact, the dynasty had long forgotten about Marquis Zhenbei over the years. After all, it was Marquis Rongchang, also known as Deputy General Chen, who was guarding the border.

Time can make people forget everything, including their achievements.

If the competition among princes had not intensified, they would not have thought that in this northwestern region, there was another Marquis Zhenbei who was also a land immortal.

Yes, until now, many people in the world still think that Marquis Zhenbei is a land immortal.

Except for the ones sent by the Third Prince who had a nice attitude and speech, the others were just like that eunuch, very arrogant.

The land gods are nothing in the eyes of the prince.

Only the immortal realm is worthy of their attention.

"There's nothing new under the sun!"

Shen Ping shook his head.

He had no interest in the fight between the princes.

However, dynastic struggles are indeed something that cannot be avoided in every dynasty, and the more fierce and brutal the struggle, the higher the possibility that the dynasty will decline.

"Emperor Yu, Emperor Yu, you are also confused about this matter!"

No one is perfect except saints.

Emperor Yu was quite capable, but unfortunately he was not immune to the common practice when it came to succession, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a fierce fight.

The Sword Master and the Sea Moon Cliff Master arrived, both of them looked excited.

"The Feather Emperor who founded the country was so domineering, but he didn't dare to deal with our four top forces. Now that the Feather Emperor has abdicated, our four top forces will surely make a comeback!"
