Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 171: Continuous Breakthrough

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On a remote deserted island, in the depths of the huge oval pit. The array that emitted an ancient and vast aura was slowly operating. There were dried bloodstains between the patterns carved with complicated and profound arrays.

At this moment, two figures in black robes sat cross-legged at the center of the array formation.

One of them was Bai Yu Xiu.

He suddenly opened his eyes. There was a faint roar of a huge beast in his body. The skin under the black robe was already covered in terrifying blood-colored patterns. These patterns were like living creatures that kept squirming. Every time they squirmed around his body, his aura would quickly rise.

“Calm your mind. Don’t have any distracting thoughts.” The Nascent Soul elder of the Spring Garden’s Blood Silk Guards beside the ancient array said indifferently, “In a few years, your body will be able to withstand the energy of the array formation and activate the existence in the dark.” There was a hint of envy in his voice. “Tsk tsk, at that time, you will undergo an earth-shattering transformation!”

Bai Yu Xiu’s eyes flickered with anticipation for the future, and he quickly closed his eyes again.

Zhongsheng Continent.

Spring Garden headquarters.

In a remote dark red mountain range, a large number of blood cocoons covered the ground. In the largest hall floating above the blood cocoon, there were 18 towering thrones. Usually, there was no one on the thrones. But now, there was a phantom on each of the 18 thrones. Every phantom emitted an aura that distorted space.

“The Five Continents and Four Seas Ancient Array has been activated. As long as all the guides of the Blood Silk Guards can withstand the energy, we can complete the ancient Blood Attraction Array!” The ninth Blood Lord’s voice echoed in the hall.

The other phantoms all looked at the throne in the center that was carved with the pattern of the sea of blood. Sitting there was the head of Spring Garden. His phantom was almost condensed, but they could not see his outline clearly.

“How much longer?” The chief’s voice was calm.

The ninth Blood Lord said respectfully, “Chief, thirty years will do.”

“Thirty years… in the blink of an eye. You should make some preparations.”

“Yes, Chief.” The Ninth Blood Lord continued, “The Heavenly Inspection Platform might sense that all the ancient arrays have been activated. If they discover this, they will probably remind the Tai Yan Sect, the Moon Lotus Holy Sect, and the True Treasure Pavilion.”

The Chief said indifferently, “It’s fine. It’s only 30 years. With me around, even if they sense it, it’s difficult to find the location of the ancient array. The five continents and four seas have been peaceful for too long. It’s so long that they have forgotten their past fear, let alone remember these ancient arrays.”

Linhai Immortal City.

At the edge of the Yulin Mountain Range, by the Emerald Moon Lake, the clear water and the sky were the same color.

Accompanied by a series of delicate shouts, a vortex suddenly surged out of the lake, and two silver-blue pythons suddenly jumped out. Immediately, the waves exploded.

Someone stepped on the Dharma artifact.

Bai Yuying’s face was tense as she floated in the air. She glanced at the anaconda. The wrist in her purple-red long sleeve suddenly flickered with fluorescent light. Then, green vines quickly extended and wrapped around one of the silver-blue anacondas.

On the other side, Mu Jin quickly formed hand seals, and a string of purple lightning beads shone in front of her.

Swish, swish, swish.

The purple lightning pearls instantly struck the silver-blue python’s demon body. The demon beast wrapped in the vine was immediately charred and smoking. The scales on the surface were covered in wounds and blood seeped out.

The other python took advantage of the two of them controlling the Dharma artifacts to attack in a roundabout manner. However, before it could reach Bai Yuying, it was blocked by a layer of spiritual light. No matter how crazily it attacked, it could only create layers of ripples on the surface of the spiritual light.

Psst.

Soon, lightning exploded again. The anaconda smashed into the lake with a bang, causing waves to surge. Not far away, Yu Yan, Wang Yun, Luo Qing, and the others could not help but smile when they saw this scene.

“Sister Ying’er is getting better and better. She easily killed two Rank One demon pythons.”

“No, it’s all Sister Mu Jin’s fault. I’m just helping from the side.” Hearing the praise, Bai Yuying hurriedly shook her head.

Mu Jin smiled sweetly. “Ying’er, you don’t have to be humble. You’re more and more comfortable with controlling Dharma artifacts. You’re making rapid progress compared to before.”

Yu Yan flew to the two women’s side on her silver boots and said with a smile, “Alright, don’t be modest here. Although the materials on the two Silver Blue Anacondas are not worth much, we can’t waste them.”

Bai Yuying chuckled. “Alright, I’ll deal with the materials now.”

A moment later, the wife and concubines left Emerald Moon Lake and stopped at a nearby mountain ridge.

“Senior Pei.” When they saw the Golden Core figure covered in light armor, they bowed respectfully.

In the past few days, when Shen Ping went out of the city to cultivate and master the last six special spirit runes, he would occasionally bring his wife and concubines out to let them relax and increase their battle experience. After all, with a Golden Core expert like Perfected Pei watching, it was still very safe to just stay at the edge.

Moreover, there was Yin Honglian, who was at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.

Coupled with the high-grade Level Two Armor Spirit Talismans, Lightning Talismans, and Level Two puppets that Shen Ping had given them, they could resist even if they encountered a powerful Level Two demon beast. As for robbery cultivators, if they dared to attack, they would not be able to return.

Pei Huoyu nodded gently.

After a while, Shen Ping ended his cultivation trip and walked to his wife and concubines.

“Husband, this is the demon beast we hunted today.” Bai Yuying waved her hand, and demon beast materials floated out. Although they were only at the first level, there were a lot of them. If they sold them in the city, they could earn some spirit stones.

Shen Ping smiled and hugged Bai Yuying’s waist. He kissed the corner of her lips and praised, “Not bad. I’ll bring you guys to Virtue Tower for a good meal tonight!”

Virtue Tower also had a shop in Linhai Immortal City. Moreover, it was much larger than Qingyang City, but its headquarters was not here.

“I want to eat Fire Braised Chicken!” Bai Yuying shouted coyly.

Yu Yan crossed her arms and said with a faint smile, “Ying’er, you haven’t eaten enough beast meat chicken?”

“That’s the signature dish of Virtue Tower. I’m not tired of eating it every day.” Bai Yuying blushed and her eyes landed on Yu Yan. She pretended to be aggrieved and said, “Sister Yu Yan ate a lot a while ago, causing us to have an empty stomach.”

Shen Ping was speechless. He realized that ever since he fought with Yu Yan for a few days, his wife and concubines seemed to be secretly competing with each other. He could not help but examine himself. He felt that perhaps it was because he had increased his cultivation time recently and did not have more energy to have sex.

However, there was no choice. Yu Yan, who had transformed into a pink frame, had gained too much from every dual cultivation.

In just dozens of days, his puppet level had broken through to the low-grade Level Three. Moreover, in just half a month, he had accumulated hundreds of thousands more. According to this speed of gaining experience, he would probably be able to break through again in a few days.

Faced with such a surge, Shen Ping was both happy and worried. This was because other than the level of the puppet, his divine sense was also constantly increasing.

However, he was only at the third level of Foundation Establishment. There was a limit to the amount and strength of divine sense that the Niwan Palace could accommodate. Once it exceeded the entire limit, his body would not be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, as his physique increased, This limit was also constantly increasing.

The benefits of a soaring divine sense were huge. The most obvious thing was that it was easier to sense and find the balance point of the hidden runes. Although he had yet to find it, he already had a vague direction. If his divine sense increased again, this sense would be even clearer.

When Perfected Yun Ya was giving him pointers, he had once said that it was very difficult for Foundation Establishment cultivators to comprehend special spirit runes. However, it was relatively easy for Golden Core cultivators. The difference was mainly reflected in the strength of their divine sense.

However, it was very rare for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to have a Core Formation divine sense. He suppressed his emotions. Shen Ping pinched Bai Yuying’s face. “It seems like Ying’er hasn’t eaten her fill recently. In that case, one Fire Braised Chicken might not be enough tonight. You need two.”

Yu Yan immediately teased, “1 think two is not enough. You need three.”

Bai Yuying buried her head in Shen Ping’s arms in embarrassment and said weakly, “I really can’t eat three!”

His wife and concubines covered their mouths and laughed.

“Fire Braised Chicken is too greasy. There’s another signature dish in Virtue Tower, White Phoenix Clear Egg. Although it’s a little expensive, it’s really good to eat. Moreover, it’s beneficial to Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators.” Pei Huoyu, who was standing at the side, suddenly said.

Shen Ping could not help but turn to the side with a puzzled expression. “White Phoenix Clear Egg, why haven’t I heard of this dish?”

Pei Huoyu said indifferently, “This dish is only for Golden Core Daoists.”

Shen Ping was enlightened. Then, he became curious. “The dish that only Golden Core seniors can eat. I’m afraid the way they eat them will be different.”

“It’s indeed different. The material is from the White Phoenix. After making it, there will be layers of wrinkles on the surface of the egg. You have to use the tip of your tongue…” Pei Huoyu said seriously.

Shen Ping cupped his hands. “1 didn’t expect Senior Pei to have research in tasting delicacies. Tonight, I’ll treat Senior Pei to this signature dish of Virtue Tower.”

A smile appeared on Pei Huoyu’s valiant face. “Looks like we’re in for a treat tonight.”

His wife and concubines were speechless.

Half a month later, in the main quiet room. Waves of powerful divine sense fluctuations shook. It lasted for half a day. When his mind was stable and restrained, Shen Ping, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. He glanced at the virtual interface.

[Puppet Master: Mid-Grade Level 3 (330,000/2,400,000)]

[Divine sense: Mid-stage Golden Core Realm (10,000/1,000,000)]

Although it was only a breakthrough of a small realm, his entire temperament was even more profound. If he did not deliberately restrain himself, even ordinary gazes could give people a huge sense of oppression.

Moreover, it would be easier to make and control puppets with his mid-stage Golden Core divine sense.

“Pink frame.” Shen Ping stood up and paced around the quiet room. When the virtual frame had just transformed, the Puppet Master level was only mid-grade Level Two. However, in just a month, it had already advanced to mid-grade Level Three.

Such an increase was unimaginable in the past.

In fact, he already understood in his heart that being in love was the true effect of the virtual interface.

Thinking of this, Shen Ping stopped in his tracks and looked outside the quiet room. Wang Yun, Bai Yuying, Luo Qing, and the others seemed to appear in front of him. He couldn’t help but ask himself.

Could he do what he did to Yu Yan to them?

A long time passed. There was only a faint sigh left in the quiet room..
