The elegant man did not reply to Shen Ping’s words. Instead, he said, “When you defeat me, ask this question again. The Taiyi Sword Dao contains all the Sword Dao. Be it heartless, emotions, or other Sword Dao, they are all integrated. However, it’s impossible for you to defeat me with the Taiyi Sword Dao alone.”
Shen Ping was silent. From the first time he fought the elegant man, he knew that the other party’s attainments in the Taiyi Sword Dao were very high. He even suspected that the other party had already mastered the Sword Dao!
Until today, when the elegant man stopped him from killing the man from Penglai, he knew the difference between him and the other party.
“Marquis of Zhenbei, you’ve comprehended the Diagrams of Mountains and Rivers, so you should know that there’s another sword technique above the Taiyi Sword Dao. That sword technique is the true supreme Great Dao, also known as the Nameless Sword Art. Although it’s only one and a half moves, the Sword Dao contained in it leads straight to the peak.
“If you can look at the stone tablet, it will be extremely beneficial to your future. So as long as you can defeat me in three thousand years, you can look at the stone tablet.” After saying that, the refined man left.
Shen Ping frowned. To be honest, he did not have any confidence in defeating the refined man. Although he could continuously increase his comprehension of the Sword Dao through the virtual frame, the refined man had also said that it was impossible to defeat him with the Taiyi Sword Dao.
Moreover, the further one went in the path of the sword, the harder it was to improve.
“Forget it. It’s my fortune to obtain it, but it’s my fate to lose it. Being able to comprehend the top Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in this world is already a huge gain. I can’t expect too much. I’ll just let nature take its course.”
After figuring this out, he no longer hesitated and continued to immerse himself in nurturing the spiritual seed.
Months later, it’s harvest season again. At a glance, the back mountain was filled with golden rice ears, and the air was filled with the fragrance of rice. On the east side of the back mountain, there were date trees and orchards formed by fruit trees. A few squirrels were secretly eating on the fruit trees, and under the trees, a few foxes were looking around.
The sun was scorching. However, every servant in the Marquis Mansion was filled with smiles because they knew that there was another fragrant and delicious spirit rice that could be eaten. After eating spirit rice, not only could it quickly increase one’s strength, but it could also exorcise evil and treat illnesses. They could not eat it outside even if they wanted to.
Yun Yue and Yun Xiao sat on Shen Ping’s lap. One of them fed sweet grapes, and the other peeled an orange. The fragrance of the two women filled the pavilion under the hot wind.
Not long after, Huo Ru walked in. Her delicate waist and hips moved gently. Although she was wearing cotton clothes, her chest and neck revealed a large area of fairness. Her black hair and forehead were covered in a thin layer of sweat, but her skin was increasingly moist and fair. She was incompatible with the servants who were harvesting rice.
After breaking through to the Immortal realm, her body was constantly being tempered by the origin energy of heaven and earth. Coupled with the replenishment of spiritual energy over the years, her temperament became more and more ethereal like an immortal. Even the Yun Yue and Yun Xia twins paled in comparison.
“Ma’am.” The two women hurriedly bowed. Then, they left the pavilion consciously.
Huo Ru handed the washed spiritual dates to Shen Ping and said coquettishly, “You didn’t even care about that orchard. It’s almost eaten up by those demons.”
Shen Ping took a bite of the crisp and sweet spiritual date and said with a smile, “Everything has a spirit. Those demons are also a part of the natural cycle. Why do you want to expel them? If you have nothing to do, go and clean up the valley at the back of the mountain. In the next year, you can grow a few acres of fertile land.”
Huo Ru rolled her eyes. “The Sword Master and the Cliffmaster didn’t come?”
Two powerful auras from the astral winds landed in the pavilion.
“Haha, it’s our fortune to be nagged by Sword Saint Taixuan!”
The Sword Master still looked like a young man. The Cliffmaster had changed his clothes today. Judging from their auras, they have improved a little recently. Shen Ping congratulated them. The Sword Master chuckled. “We’ve been practicing the sword technique for so many years. If we haven’t improved, wouldn’t we be too mediocre?”
There were actually six stages to the Immortal Realm. Although it was nothing to a reincarnated person like Shen Ping, it was a symbol of strength for the Sword Master and Cliffmaster. Most of the immortals in the world were below the third level, but the Sword Master and the Cliffmaster had broken through to the fifth level.
In the Immortal realm, it could be considered one of the top.
Shen Ping glanced at the Sword Master and said casually, “The two of you are in a good mood. It shouldn’t be just a breakthrough in strength, right?”
The Sword Master took the spiritual date and ate it. As he ate, he said, “I still can’t hide it from the Marquis of Zhenbei. Tsk tsk, the Imperial Capital hasn’t been peaceful recently. It’s said that because of the matter between the two families, there’s been a huge commotion. Emperor Yu was angry in the court!”
The Cliffmaster took a sip of iced sour plum soup and echoed, “Now, Emperor Yu has no time to care about us four top factions. Hmph, I already said that the Yuhua Shen Dynasty would be dragged down by the aristocratic families. Now, there are already such signs.”
“There’s also Emperor Yu. I heard that he was seriously injured in the war with the Demon Nation and even injured his Origin. He’s only at the Third Heaven of the Immortal Realm. Once his Origin is injured, he’s destined to be unable to break through to the Fourth Heaven Realm. In the future, he can only retreat to Monarch Mountain to recuperate!”
The Sword Master said in a low voice, “According to the inheritance rules of the Yuhua Shen Dynasty, every Emperor Yu has to retire after 1,000 years. In another 300 years, Emperor Yu’s term will be up. Recently, the battle for the crown prince of the Imperial Capital has become more and more intense! If Emperor Yu wasn’t injured, he could still suppress it, but he… Our four top factions finally have hope.”
