The person behind the seventh-realm expert that had eroded Shen Ping’s bloodline smiled. “Very good. As expected of the powder of the Demon Kingdom. It’s indeed powerful. Hmph, the House of Zhenbei will decline sooner or later. Alright, there’s no need to pay attention to the House of Zhenbei in the future. As for that woman who wants to go to the Sea Moon Cliff to find divine medicine, she’s delusional. She’s already lucky to be alive.”
“Understood.”
Months later, the high-profile bloodline and bone structure test of the Marquis of Zhenbei gradually calmed down. Other than the maids and servants of the mansion who were still discussing, many people no longer paid attention to the House of Zhenbei.
Since there was no bloodline inheritance, the House of Zhenbei would no longer be able to produce an eighth-realm expert.
Shen Ping was not interested in anything in the outside world. He was only interested in the Sword Dao. As an Immortal Venerable, it was very rare for him to comprehend a top-notch Heaven and Earth Great Dao. Many Venerable Sovereigns, including experts at the late-stage Initial Dao Realm, were thinking of ways to comprehend a trace of a top-notch Heaven and Earth Great Dao. This was because only a top-notch Heaven and Earth Great Dao could reach the late-stage Dao Origin Realm or even the Perfection Realm.
However, every single one of the top Heaven and Earth Great Dao was incomparably difficult. Just the threshold to enter the sect made many Initial Dao Realm experts look up to it. Because of this, Miss Meng could not forget the world of the red bracelet. After knowing that Shen Ping had a bracelet, she could not wait to bring him here.
Similarly, Shen Ping did not care about the matters in this world or even his cultivation. The reason why he used his true soul power to block the test was completely because he did not want to be noticed by those experts. If he became an ordinary person, no one would assassinate him and that would save a lot of trouble.
Like now, he can play around as he pleases. Deputy General Chen and Yue Zhu would not keep an eye on him like before. After all, without a bloodline, even cultivation was very difficult. Who would harm a child for no reason? As long as they could confirm that there was no aura of an expert around, it was fine.
In the bamboo forest, he used bamboo as a sword and kept practicing the Snowflake Sword Technique. Apart from that, there were also various sword technique secret manuals in the mansion. Ever since Madame Yu left, he often went to the library to read many books.
“Unfortunately, none of the Sword Sons and Sword Seeds of the Sword Whisper Tower can comprehend the Sword Dao. They are all only at the level of Sword Intent. Even if I grow up and have fun with the women there, it’s unlikely that I will improve in the Sword Dao! Not necessarily, though. Let’s wait until I’m older!”
Although he could not use his golden finger to work, he could slowly grow by practicing sword techniques.
Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, 12 years passed.
Looking at his progress in the Sword Dao, he shook his head helplessly. The Sword Dao he comprehended here was fast, but the growth was very slow. However, the cultivation speed of this reincarnated body was shockingly fast. Relying on his bloodline and bone structure, as well as the enhancement of his true soul power, he entered the sixth realm at the age of 15.
That’s right. The sixth realm. One had to know that the youngest sixth realm expert in the entire Yuhua Shen Dynasty was more than 200 years old. For example, Deputy General Chen was already more than 700 years old. The lifespan of the sixth realm was only 1,000 years.
If word got out that he stepped into the sixth realm at the age of 15, it would probably cause a commotion in the entire dynasty. Those great demons of the Demon Nation would definitely assassinate him at all costs. They might even send top experts of the Eighth Realm.
After all, fifteen years old was too fucking ridiculous. He was much more monstrous than the Marquis of Zhenbei. He had a high chance of entering the eighth realm in the future. He even had a chance of entering the ninth realm.
“Uncle Chen, I’m going out to play. I’m not having dinner,” he told Deputy General Chen. Shen Ping left the mansion. All these years, Madam Yu had not returned, but there was a letter.
“Young Marquis, be careful.”
“Don’t worry. I’m just an ordinary person. Who cares?”
Deputy General Chen sighed. In the past ten years, the mansion had indeed been calm. No one cared about the Young Marquis. Even the others in the mansion did not care about this.
Once he left the mansion, Shen Ping was like a wild horse that had escaped its reins. He arrived at a remote place and transformed into a sword light that soared into the sky, speeding in the direction of the Sword Whisper Tower.
Sixth realm experts could fly. At the seventh realm, his flying speed would greatly increase and he could enter the astral winds. Although he was only at the sixth realm, he could also enter the astral winds with the support of his true soul power.
In less than four hours, he arrived at the Sword Whisper Tower, which was 5,000 kilometers away. There were five transcending forces in the Yuhua Shen Dynasty: the Heavenly Sound Temple, the Sea Moon Cliff, the Sword Whisper Tower, the Seeping River Academy, and the Monarch Mountain.
Among them, the Sword Whisper Tower mainly cultivated sword techniques. It was the holy land for all those who learned the sword. His mother, Madame Yu, came from the Sword Whisper Tower and was a Sword Son. Her status and strength were extremely high, second only to the Sword Seed.
Shen Ping’s main reason for coming here was to see if he could obtain the Sword Dao through his golden finger. If he could, then he would have a top Heaven and Earth Great Dao that was comparable to the Great Dao of the Chaos Hole.
“If it’s two top-notch Heaven and Earth Great Dao, then controlling a late-stage Dao Origin Realm puppet might not require 60% comprehension!”
With the Dao of Fate as the balance, as long as his Sword Dao could reach 30%, and the Great Dao of the Chaos Hole could reach 40%, he believed that he could control the puppet. This was especially true for the sword dao. It was a killing dao to begin with, much stronger than the Great Dao of the Chaos Hole. Once he comprehended and grasped 30% of it, his combat strength would soar.
If Shen Ping had comprehended the Sword Dao when he was fighting Miss Meng, he would definitely be able to firmly suppress her. He did not come to the Sword Whisper Tower directly.
First, he went to the nearby Sword Whisper City. Everyone here learned the sword. He wanted to enter the Sword Whisper Tower, but the conditions were harsh. First, he had to master a high-grade sword technique. Second, he had to step into the realm of sword intent. Any one of them could stump many people who learned the sword.
He randomly found a woman with good swordsmanship.
Shen Ping tried. The virtual frame showed an improvement in Sword Dao. However, it was not as much as when he usually practiced sword techniques. Still, this made him extremely excited as he could really obtain Sword Dao. “Haha, not bad, not bad. Looks like I have to marry a Sword Seed of the Sword Whisper Tower!”
He looked at the woman and instilled the sword technique and sword intent he had comprehended into the other party. Whether she could absorb and digest it depended on her own luck. It could be considered a fate.
If he had the talent of a strange beast, he wouldn’t have needed to go through so much trouble.
But not now.
Even if Shen Ping relied on his true soul power, he could not infiltrate the Sword Whisper Tower. After all, the Sword Whisper Tower had Eighth Realm experts. In fact, after knowing this news, he did not understand why something had happened to the Sword Whisper Tower and even asked Madame Yu to go over.
It was obvious that there were people in the Sword Whisper Tower who wanted to harm him. He returned to the astral winds. After returning to the House of Zhenbei, he was not in a hurry to say this. Instead, he continued to cultivate. With his strength and will as an Immortal Venerable, he was very patient. At the very least, he had to have the ability to protect himself before revealing his strength.
Another two years passed.
When Madame Yu returned from the Sea Moon Cliff, she did not find any divine medicine, but she obtained a medicinal pill from the Sea Moon Cliff that could increase one’s foundation. However, she had to cooperate with other medicinal herbs, so she continued to search.
And this year, Shen Ping had officially stepped into the seventh realm. That was the Earth Immortal Realm of the Yuhua Shen Dynasty. He left the library as usual. On the way, he met the eldest son of the third branch who had come to the courtyard to ask Madame Yu for guidance on sword techniques.
“You clearly can’t cultivate, but you often go to the library. No matter how hard you work, what can you make out of it just by reading?”
Shen Ping stopped and turned around. He looked at the eldest son of the third branch, who was more than ten years older than him, and grinned. “You can become an Earth Immortal!” After saying that, he put his fingers together.
The sword came. As the voice came out, shocking sword intent shot into the sky. In an instant, the weather changed.
It was as if an ancient god had awakened in the world. A terrifying pressure vibrated. Immediately after, an invisible sword condensed in the sky and gathered at Shen Ping’s fingertips at an extremely fast speed.
Then, he stabbed out with his sword. In an instant, a world of ice and snow with goose feathers dancing in the air.
