Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 972: Communication on the Deck (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations

Without a star map of the route, they would definitely be lost unless one was lucky. This was because there were many natural vortexes in the depths of the Realm Sea. Another of these vortexes might be another extremely distant realm.

Immortal Venerable Luan blinked her lively eyes and asked curiously, “Fellow Daoist Shen, since Chaotic Peak Mountain is the gathering place of the ten nearby realms, there must be many experts, right? Wouldn’t it be very dangerous for our Immortal Venerable and Immortal King to go?”

Shen Ping nodded. “It’s a little dangerous, but you don’t have to worry too much. According to the information I obtained, our realm and the nearby realm are considered remote areas in the endless world. Their overall strength is not strong.”

Immortal Venerable Yao’s cold eyes flickered with anticipation, “I’ve never been to such a faraway place in my life. I believe it’ll be quite interesting.”

A smile appeared on Immortal Venerable Luan’s lips, “The journey is more interesting, right?”

Shen Ping coughed dryly. “It’s still very boring to sail in the Realm Sea. You can return to the cabin to cultivate.”

Immortal Venerable Luan shook her head, “No need. This bit of time is nothing.”

Both her and Immortal Venerable Yao’s seclusion could last thousands of years. Not to mention that cultivation was not very meaningful to the two of them. Only by comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth could they improve.

Immortal Venerable Yao glanced at Immortal Venerable Luan and Shen Ping before turning around and entering the cabin.

Only the man and the phoenix were left on the deck. Other than darkness, the Realm Sea was filled with air masses with light spots, or floating mountains, meteorites, and so on. At first, it felt fresh, but after a long time, it felt extremely boring.

There was a light shining in front of the ship.

Shen Ping’s gaze landed on Immortal Venerable Luan, “I see that Fellow Daoist Luan’s aura is pure. I believe you haven’t experienced human relations until now.”

Immortal Venerable Luan smiled and said, “That’s right. Our Phoenix Clan cultivates by bloodline. If my bloodline isn’t pure, it’s naturally very difficult to break through to a higher level. Along the way, I’ve always maintained a pure body, which is why I have the cultivation of Immortal Venerable today. However, if I want to break through to the Venerable Sovereign realm, this bloodline body doesn’t have to be like before.”

Shen Ping could tell what Immortal Venerable Luan was implying. Instantly, his gaze became even more unrestrained. “Fellow Daoist Luan, you cultivate the Great Dao of the Fire, right?”

“That’s right.”

“It just so happens that I have quite a good comprehension of the Great Dao of Fire. If Fellow Daoist Luan is willing, we can exchange insights.”

Immortal Venerable Luan said with interest, “I wonder how Fellow Daoist Shen wants to communicate?”

Shen Ping said seriously, “The Great Dao of the Fire should naturally start from the peak of the highest wave of flames. On the jade tip, carefully comprehend the Great Dao patterns inside. Only then can you comprehend the true essence of flames. Fellow Daoist Luan, I can personally demonstrate it to you.”

“Fellow Daoist Shen, please.”

Immortal Venerable Luan’s face quickly turned red.

Shen Ping smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist Luan’s Great Dao of Fire is indeed different. Not only is it beating fiercely, but it also has a very strong elasticity. This Great Dao of the Fire is really difficult to grasp.”

Immortal Venerable Luan did not say anything while Shen Ping continued, “The most important thing about the comprehension of flames is the source of the deepest depths. There is the initial form of flames there. What form is the Great Dao of Fire that Fellow Daoist Luan comprehended?”

Immortal Venerable Luan endured it and said, “This… I really didn’t notice.”

She frowned slightly. Time passed slowly. The frown on her face deepened. When the sun ends and the Yellow River flows into the sea, the furrowed brows fully relax.

Immortal Venerable Luan trembled slightly and said, “Fellow Daoist Shen is indeed an immortal king with the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign. Your understanding of the Great Dao of the Fire is indeed extraordinary.”

Immortal Venerable Yao was speechless. They were clearly an Immortal Venerable and an Immortal King. Why didn’t they use immortal power to isolate themselves when they communicated with the Great Dao? Weren’t they afraid that she, an outsider, would steal the scripture?

And then…

Shen Ping and Immortal Venerable Luan, who were bored, often discussed the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and completely confided their different understandings of the Great Dao of Fire to each other.

In the blink of an eye, five years passed.

Under the super high-speed navigation of the ship-shaped Dao treasure, they had already entered the depths of the Realm Sea.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a few hundred years to travel from the Immortal Dao territory to this area. However, with the star map and the Great Dao supreme treasure, there was no need to worry about obstruction. They sailed at full speed and shortened the distance greatly through more than ten natural spatial vortexes during this period. So it only took five years.

On this day, just as they finished the exchange of insights, the deck shook violently.

“Not good, it’s the attack of the Thousand Leaves Teeth Vine. This vine is a plant life form deep in the Realm Sea. Once it appears, it will form a group. Fellow Daoist Shen, quickly control the Great Dao treasure to leave this place!” Immortal Venerable Luan said hurriedly.

Immortal Venerable Yao also flashed to the deck. Looking at the vines sweeping over from the darkness, her expression could not help but change. “It’s indeed the Thousand Leaves Teeth Vine.”

Shen Ping tried attacking it. In the end, there were even more vines. One of them had more than 1,000 vine leaves, completely enveloping the entire ship-shaped Great Dao treasure. Fortunately, he still had the Early Initial Dao Realm puppet with him. He relied on this puppet’s eruption to push back the vines and quickly circle around them.

“The Realm Clan, the Stone Clan, the Skeleton Clan, and even this Thousand Leaves Teeth Vine are all special lifeforms. It’s just that the Realm Clan and the others are more intelligent. However, in terms of strength, these lifeforms in the depths of the Realm Sea are very terrifying. Even Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong is in danger of dying!”

Immortal Venerable Yao’s expression was solemn. Then, she asked, “Did the route on the star map change after we circled around?”

Shen Ping opened the star map. This star map was also a type of supreme treasure that could be changed at any time according to the region. “No. We have to stick close to this area, or it will be difficult for us to return to our original route.”

“Be careful, then. Try not to reveal your aura or movements.”

Immortal Venerable Yao and Immortal Venerable Luan stared into the distance. This was also the first time Shen Ping had seen the danger in the depths of the Realm Sea. Just the Thousand Leaves Teeth Vine was enough to force him to take a detour. If he encountered something more powerful, he would probably die.

No wonder Lord Yin had said that at the very least, he had to break through to the Venerable Sovereign realm and have the strength of the mid-stage Initial Dao Realm to be safe.

The ship-shaped treasure of the Great Dao reduced speed. After three months, they finally left the area of the Thousand Leaves Teeth Vine. This made Shen Ping and the others heave a sigh of relief.

But before they could recover, waves of water slowly spread out from afar and struck the ship-shaped Great Dao treasure.

“This is the Nine-ringed Yang Water, a naturally formed spring. You have to comprehend the Great Dao of the Water to pass smoothly. If we force our way in, the water flow will become stronger and stronger!”

Immortal Venerable Luan and Immortal Venerable Yao looked at each other and felt helpless. They had just entered the depths and had encountered these two dangers in succession. Their luck was really bad.

Shen Ping did not speak. Instead, he controlled the Great Dao Treasure to move forward. At the same time, he activated the Great Dao of the Water as he borrowed the momentum and used the Nine-ringed Yang Water to push the Great Dao Treasure. His speed was extremely fast. In just six days, he left this area.

The two women were shocked. They did not expect Shen Ping to have comprehended the Great Dao of the Water.

After they cross these two danger zones, their luck improves. They did not encounter much danger for two consecutive years. There were only some vortex areas and other relatively low-level dangers.

During this period, Immortal Venerable Luan wanted to invite Immortal Venerable Yao to discuss the Great Dao together, but she was rejected by Immortal Venerable Yao because she could not adapt.

“Through the natural vortex in front, we’ll be out of our territory!”

Hearing Shen Ping’s words, Immortal Venerable Yao and Immortal Venerable Luan revealed excited expressions. No one had ever really left the Immortal Dao territory, but the two of them had done it. Although they had relied on Shen Ping and the star map, this was the first time the Immortal Dao territory had come into contact with the outside world.

“According to the memories of that puppet when it was alive, most of the people in the Endless World are humans, but there are many living beings of different races. Moreover, those who can walk out of the realm are basically Venerable Sovereigns. Therefore, we have to be careful when traveling outside. Even Venerable Sovereigns are easily attacked!”
