Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 971: Communication on the Deck (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations

As the news spread, the geniuses of the various races who had once competed with Shen Ping for the Beast Spirit Ranking fell silent. They still remembered that when they fought for the top Great Dao secret technique, Shen Ping was only a Tribulation Transcendence expert. Unexpectedly, in less than ten thousand years, the other party had actually broken through to the Immortal King Realm and even had the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign.

It was ridiculous! Even an immortal artifact with time acceleration or even a Great Dao treasure could not allow one to improve so fast, let alone comprehend the complete Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!

The strongest genius of the Realm Clan had only comprehended less than 20% of the Great Dao. Even so, it was still because he had entered the palace world.

As one further advance in their Great Dao, the difficulty soared exponentially. Many Immortal Venerables were stuck at 50%, 70%, and 90%. There were still the last four thresholds of the last 5%. It had to be known that those who could become Immortal Venerables were all once peerless figures.

They originally thought that even if they could not catch up to Shen Ping, they would not be too far away. However, now that they knew the latest news, they were completely in despair. Even the Immortal King disciples of Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong felt despair and bitterness. It was truly a tragedy to be in the same era as such an incomparably monstrous genius.

If he exceeded one step, he might even be envied by others. If he exceeded ten steps, he could only look up to him.

As for the thoughts of these geniuses, Shen Ping did not know that after the celebratory banquet, he came to Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong’s cultivation hall and told him about his plan to leave the realm to find healing treasures for him.

Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong was very gratified, but he shook his head. “Disciple, I understand your intentions. It’s just that the situation in the Immortal Dao Domain is unstable now. Because of your existence, the various races canceled their attempts to test our human race. If they find out that you left, there will definitely be another wave. Moreover, there’s that expert from the outer realm. He’s a huge problem. Our human race has to have a Venerable Sovereign guarding it.

“My injuries are indeed very serious this time. Although I can keep my life, I’m afraid my strength and realm will fall, so the human race needs you.”

The Venerable Sovereigns of the human race were usually very considerate of the overall situation. If not for the realm, Venerable Tian Hong would not have been injured.

Shen Ping said, “Master, that outer realm expert has already been killed by me!”

Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong stood up in shock. “W-What did you say? That outer realm expert is dead?”

“Yes.” Shen Ping nodded.

Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong frowned. “Disciple, I believe you, but this matter is too unbelievable. That outer realm expert is not an ordinary Venerable Sovereign. He’s much stronger than me, and his methods are strange. How, how can you kill him?!”

He glared and thought of how Shen Ping had comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth so quickly. “Realm Sea Peak. Could it be related to that artifact spirit?”

Shen Ping smiled. “Master is smart. However, please understand that I can’t say how I killed him.”

Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong also smiled. “Good, very good! In that case, I won’t stop you anymore. You’ve already grown up and have a huge opportunity like the Realm Sea Peak. You indeed need to adventure and temper yourself. If I stop you, I’m afraid I’ll harm you… However, there’s something you still have to listen to me. The journey from the Immortal Dao Domain to leaving the realm is extremely long. Our human race only has a portion of the star map of the Realm Sea. The deeper we go, the more dangerous it is. Until now, no one has been able to walk out.

“Since you’ve decided to leave, you must have a complete star map. You’ve never been to the Realm Sea after all, so you still have to bring two or three Immortal Venerables with you this time. They’re experienced and I believe they can help you.”

Shen Ping said, “I plan to travel with Immortal Venerable Yao.”

“Only Immortal Venerable Yao?”

“And the Phoenix Clan’s Immortal Venerable Luan.”

Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong looked at Shen Ping in surprise, but he did not say anything. He only said, “Alright, with the two Immortal Venerables around, they could help with some details.”

Before he left, Shen Ping asked his master to take care of his wives and Dao companions when he went outside the realm. At the very least, he had to ensure their safety.

“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for Immortal Venerables Nanji and Qi to go to the Northern Ice Immortal City. Our human race has a rising figure like you. The Devil Clan, Flame Race, and other races won’t easily attack your wife, concubine, and Dao companions!”

Shen Ping indeed understood this. As a junior with the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign and who had cultivated to such a level at a young age, as long as they were not sure of the news of his death, the billions of races did not dare to act rashly. Otherwise, they had to be careful of the revenge of a Venerable Sovereign.

…

Two months later, the ship-shaped Great Dao treasure quickly moved towards the star map in the Realm Sea region that was competing with the Immortal Dao territory. Two graceful figures stood on the left and right of Shen Ping’s shoulders on the deck. They were Immortal Venerable Yao and Immortal Venerable Luan who had set off for the Realm Sea.

“Our destination this time is Chaotic Peak Mountain. This place is the most prosperous place in the nearby ten or so realms. You can see it as a marketplace, just that it is much larger and more prosperous than ordinary Immortal Dao territories’ marketplaces. Its range is even wider than an Immortal Domain. According to the route and speed of the star map, the journey will take ten years!” Shen Ping said with a smile.

The Realm Sea was boundless. To put it bluntly, every realm was equivalent to an island in the endless sea. The distance between the two realms was very large. Ordinary early-stage Initial Dao Realm cultivators had to fly for tens of thousands of years, and they had to have an accurate route to reach another realm.
