Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 375  No Choice (2)



He listened to the gentle voice that lingered in his ears. Shen Ping did not know how he walked out of Jingsi House. Even when he stood at the entrance of the Fire Spirit Hall, his master\'s last sentence was still echoing.

He wasn\'t stupid. How could he not understand the meaning of that sentence? It was obvious. In his master\'s heart, she had already given up on the five continents and four seas. She had given up everything, including herself.

"The five continents and four seas are huge. Am I the only one left?"

He came to the backyard of the hall. He looked at the quiet room where his wife, concubines, and Dao companions were. Shen Ping\'s bitter face was filled with indescribable pain. He walked slowly.

It was as if he had returned to the moment when he had just returned from Spring Garden in Cloud Mountain Parlour. When he walked back to the wooden house along the winding alley, his footsteps were also difficult.

He said that he was resigned to his fate. But it was just the most helpless choice. And now, he didn\'t even have a choice. Facing the strange beast, even the Head Hall Master couldn\'t do anything.

What could he do?

It was late at night.

Shen Ping silently sat at the head of the jade table. He stared at the spirit rice and thin meat porridge that his wife had served and picked up the jade bowl to eat it in small bites. During this period, he did not raise his head once.

He was afraid of seeing his wife, concubine, and Dao companions. He blamed himself for being helpless.

"Husband, eat more spirit beast meat."

"Husband, this is the latest spiritual fruit."

"Husband, in a few days, I\'ll break through to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment!"

The joyous voices of his wife and concubines rose and fell. Shen Ping kept nodding. However, he did not say a word. As if sensing her husband\'s mood, Wang Yun, Yu Yan, Bai Yuying, and the others stopped talking.

After the meal, he returned to the quiet room. Shen Ping sat cross-legged on the cushion in a daze. He habitually took out the Talisman Beast Scripture and studied it. However, when he looked at the complicated and special spirit rune combination on the scripture, it was as if he was completely reading a heavenly book. He was distracted.

For the next half a month, he was in this state.

In the side hall, Yu Qingling, who had always been quiet, couldn\'t help but ask. "Fellow Daoist Shen, w-what\'s wrong?"

Shen Ping shook his head. When the Holy Maiden saw this, she could not help but say, "This calamity affected every immortal city in the Zhongsheng Continent. In just a month, many Nascent Soul cultivators died. Hundreds of people from the True Treasure Pavilion died. However, now that the calamity is gradually stabilizing, all the places have formed an alliance to form an array formation to resist. The True Treasure Pavilion is even more safe and sound. Fellow Daoist Shen, don\'t worry. It will definitely be fine."

Yu Qingling came to a sudden understanding and said, "Yes, Senior Ying is right. The headquarters is protected by numerous grand formations, and even the formidable impact from the first day was blocked. We\'ll definitely be able to survive this calamity!"

Shen Ping\'s gaze shifted to their faces. He really wanted to tell the truth. However, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. So what if he said it? It would only add to their pressure. Therefore, he lowered his head and studied the scripture again.

Five days later, Zhongsheng Continent.

The densely packed Derivative Beasts in the sky surged out again. On this day, in addition to a large number of strange rocks, strange snakes, and swamps, there were also many huge mountain monsters and huge things. As soon as these huge things appeared, they directly gathered at the spirit vein of the Zhongsheng Continent.

The headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion was the focus of these giants.

Because in the entire Zhongsheng Continent, the headquarters island was the largest spiritual vein node. Especially the floating spiritual peak with a Level 9 spiritual vein that appeared in the Personal Disciple Ceremony. It was the core of the spiritual energy array.

Boom, boom, boom!! Hundreds of thousands of Derivative Beasts covered the sky. Shen Ping could not help but look up at the sky. Beside him, Pei Huoyu had already turned into a flaming stream of light and rushed up.

He did not stop her. However, he had already given her the shield that his master had given him. Coupled with the Dharma treasure given by Elder Huo Han, as long as she was not hit by a huge thing, it was not difficult for her to protect herself.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh.

Streams of light exploded into balls of flames of different colors above the island. All kinds of dharma treasures flashed with spiritual light. At the same time, the array formation also released a pillar of spiritual energy.

The energy dissipated by the strange beast had a period.

According to Hall Master Shan Huo, a beast tide would form every 40 days, and powerful Derivative Beasts like giants would appear. However, there were very few of them, and every ten years, the number of giants would clearly increase until a thousand years or ten thousand years. At that time, there would be more and more giants and stronger Derivative Beasts.

In the past, when facing such a Derivative Beast, there was a barrier blocking the five continents and four seas. At most, a small number of Derivative Beasts would rush into the barrier every thousand or ten thousand years.

However, they would basically be dealt with in a short period of time.

As for the endless stream of Derivative Beasts outside the barrier, the various large sects of the Zhongsheng Continent would organize cultivators to eliminate them every 50 years. This was the origin of the Year of Radiant Sun.

Now that the Zhongsheng Continent was no longer blocked by the barrier, the number of Derivative Beasts would continue to increase over time.

Relying on the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion, Spring Garden, and many other factions and sects, they could easily resist it in the beginning. However, in the later stages, especially in the ten years, hundred years, thousand years, and so on, they would be even more stretched.

After all, not only did they want to kill the Derivative Beast, but they also wanted to protect the spiritual vein nodes everywhere. And if they defended for too long, they would definitely lose. Sooner or later, the Zhongsheng Continent would not be able to withstand it.

Shen Ping knew this very well. The Head Hall Master also knew. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before the barrier of the five continents and four seas collapsed.

Several days passed.

The number of Derivative Beasts had clearly decreased.

Pei Huoyu returned to the Fire Spirit Hall tiredly. Although her light armor was filled with an unpleasant smell and she even had some typhoid fever, there was excitement in the corners of her eyes. "Husband, Master is right. The special energy accumulated from killing the Derivative Beast can really speed up the circulation and absorption of magic power in my body. If this continues for decades, I believe it won\'t be difficult for me to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

Every time a Nascent Soul cultivator broke through a small realm, it would usually take hundreds of years. Some could not advance any further in their lives. Even for cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude, at the Nascent Soul realm, the help of their talent would slow down.

Therefore, breaking through in a few decades would definitely make many Nascent Soul cultivators crazy.

Shen Ping said the few words he had said during this period of time. "Huoyu, the number of Derivative Beasts will increase, and their strength will also become stronger. You have to be careful. You can\'t be careless because of this."

A smile appeared on Pei Huoyu\'s valiant face. "Don\'t worry, husband. With the shield you gave me, I\'ll be fine.

"By the way, Sister Qiu Ying, you should be able to sense the opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul realm soon. When you break through to the Nascent Soul realm, if the see it, but so what? As long as I can be with my brother, it doesn\'t matter if I see hope 10:35

or not. It\'s still cultivation. Husband, regardless of whether we can live forever together Derivative Beast hasn\'t disappeared, you can kill the enemy with me!"

When Qiu Ying heard this, her eyes were filled with anticipation. Hearing this, Bai Yuying, Mu Jin, Yin Honglian, and the other women said helplessly, "Unfortunately, our cultivation levels are too low. Otherwise, we could have killed the Derivative Beasts together and improved our cultivation levels!"

Looking at their regretful expressions, Shen Ping was silent. There was danger in killing Derivative Beasts. Even if he provided a powerful Spirit Channeling Ancient Treasure, they would still die. However, there was no fear in the words of his wives and concubines.

Shen Ping knew that they were also afraid. However, in order to accompany him for a long time in the future, they were working hard to cultivate.

Late at night, Bai Yuying carried the jade basin and placed it under the bed. Then, she hugged Shen Ping\'s feet and washed them gently. She said coquettishly, "It\'s rare for you to be alone with Ying\'er today. You have to let Ying\'er serve you well."

Shen Ping asked, "Ying\'er, tell me about your past."

Bai Yuying was stunned for a moment before saying, "In the past, my brother and I relied on each other to survive in Cloud Mountain Parlour\'s Ningshui Alley. My biggest wish everyday was to earn a few more spirit stones and accumulate enough spirit stones to exchange for a safer alley." She seemed to be lost in her memories. "At that time, I had to go out every day to hunt demon beasts."

Shen Ping couldn\'t help but interrupt, "With your cultivation, aren\'t you afraid of dying when hunting demon beasts?"

"Of course I\'m afraid! But no matter how scary it is, I have to go. Otherwise, my brother and I won\'t be able to afford the monthly rental fee. If we\'re expelled, we\'ll still end up the same. In any case, I\'m going to die either way. I might as well hunt demon beasts and fight."

Shen Ping asked again, "At that time, can you see the hope of cultivation?"

His voice was low but Bai Yuying did not notice. She shook her head and smiled. "I can\'t see it, but so what? As long as I can be with my brother, it doesn\'t matter if I see hope or not. It\'s still cultivation. Husband, regardless of whether we can live forever together in the future, as long as I can be with you, Ying\'er will be very satisfied."

Shen Ping reached out and touched Bai Yuying\'s face. He said extremely seriously, "If tomorrow is the day we die, what will you do, Ying\'er?"

Bai Yuying replied without hesitation, "I will cherish every moment with my husband."

Shen Ping immediately smiled. "Ying\'er, I\'ll start cherishing every moment with you now!"
