Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Shen Ping immediately smelled a rich fragrance. Streams of heroic souls wantonly swept through his body. Not long after, he felt warmth, as if a power was surging into his body. His originally weak limbs became strong and powerful, and even his true soul power became much stronger.

“This is a blessing, right?!” Mountain Lord Huai raised his swaddling clothes excitedly. “Thank you for your blessings, ancestors!”

Madame Qing Yan, who was standing outside the ancestral hall, was also extremely excited. After receiving the approval and blessing of the ancestral hall, her son would officially become a member of the Huai family.

At noon that day, the imperial envoy that the Imperial Court had been waiting for announced that Huai Ping would be conferred the title of Spiritual Master of Huai Mountain. As long as he was not too bad in the future, he could inherit the position of the Mountain Lord and enjoy the incense offerings to protect the water and swamp area of Huai Mountain.

The Huai Mansion held a banquet at night. All the prestigious people of Huaishan Prefecture had come. And in the backyard, the madames of the first branch, the third branch and the fifth branch all gathered around Madame Qing Yan. Among them, the third madame smiled and said, “Now Qing Yan can relax. Come, let us hug the future Mountain Lord and benefit from the blessings of our ancestors.”

She carried Shen Ping first. After pinching his face, the others hugged him one after another. Then, the nanny carried Shen Ping to the side and placed him with Third Madame’s twins. This made Shen Ping’s eyes light up. He had been worrying about not being able to find an opportunity to meet this Demon Ancestor.

“This crocodile ancestor has yet to possess a body. I wonder if I can complete the mission after defeating Huai Lian… I’ll give it a try. In any case, it doesn’t matter if I fail!”

Hence, Shen Ping crawled to Huai Lian’s side. When the nanny was not paying attention, he raised his small hand and slapped his face. Of course, it looked like a slap, but his hand was the size of a scratch.

He only whipped it two or three times. The guy burst into tears and immediately attracted the nanny’s attention. But the nanny didn’t care. He was still a baby. What bad thoughts could he have? She separated the two of them and continued to listen to the gossip not far away.

At the same time, Shen Ping opened the virtual frame.

[You have defeated the Demon Ancestor of Huai Mountain and are rewarded with the Second Part of the Taiqing Scripture.]

A smile appeared on his little face. Not bad, not bad. It was better to have more such counterattack missions. He received the reward. The cultivation technique surged into his sea of consciousness silently. With his cultivation level in his previous life, he was able to comprehend this wondrous technique in a short period of time.

“In that case, all the living beings in the yellow hall world, be it incense to become gods, demons, ghosts, heretics, Buddhas, Confucians, Daoists, and soldiers, want to achieve the Karmic Rank of Dao Fruit and obtain the imperial conferment of the Heavenly Court.”

Shen Ping pondered. The yellow hall was different from the Dao Sect World he had experienced. In the Dao Sect World, it was completely focused on Daoist cultivation. It accumulated cultivation, opened a paradise, and advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

But it was different here. This world was more like the imperial court, mortals, and all kinds of demons, ghosts, Buddhas, Confucianism, Daoism, and so on. There was the Heavenly Court, the Western Buddhist Realm, the Netherworld, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It was just more chaotic.

He shook his head and suppressed his distracting thoughts. No matter what Transcendent it was or how chaotic it was, the most important thing now was to increase his strength as soon as possible. This way, he would not die for no reason.

Thinking of this, he continued to consume energy points, but the next counterattack mission required 10 points. Helpless, he could only try the simulation first.

[You have consumed 1 energy point. Begin counterattack simulation.]

[You have defeated the future Demon Ancestor in the ancestral hall, but nothing has changed.]

[Two months later, you were drugged by the third madame of the Huai family’s eldest branch. You dissolved the medicine.]

[Two years later, you have cultivated to become a Spiritual Master.]

[Five years later, the eldest son of the Huai family’s Third Madame, Huai Lian, awakened Crocodile Ancestor Huai Shui Bloodline in his body.]

[Ten years later, you will expose the crocodile ancestor bloodline of Huai Lian in the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall’s heroic souls will gather their strength to eliminate Huai Lian’s bloodline.]

[Twenty years later, the third madame of the eldest branch, who bore a grudge, swallowed the crocodile bead.]

[50 years later, the crocodile ancestor successfully possessed the Third Madame.]

[130 years later, the crocodile ancestor devoured the heroic souls of the Huai family’s ancestral shrine and absorbed the incense offerings of Huaishan Prefecture to become the Demon Ancestor of Huai Mountain.]

[In the same year, the Huai family was destroyed and you died.]

Shen Ping frowned. This crocodile ancestor was a little strong. He had already cultivated it successfully and had the memories of his previous life. His use and understanding of Dao techniques far exceeded other Spiritual Masters, but he still could not stop this crocodile ancestor.

And the third madame of the eldest branch was also a ruthless person. The source of the crocodile ancestor should be the crocodile bead she obtained. The Third Madame should know how dangerous it was, but she still did not deal with it or find the ancestral hall’s heroic souls to suppress it. In the end, it led to a huge disaster.

She was clearly a vicious woman with a vicious heart. He looked at the Third Madame not far away. She was quite good-looking, but she could not compare to the aunt of the fourth branch. Although she was a widow, to him who had seen thousands of doors, she could be considered a national beauty.

Most importantly, the widow has not yet had sex.

“It seems that I have to borrow the strength of my father.”

He did not continue to consume special energy. It was not easy to obtain this thing. He still had to accumulate it for the next counterattack mission.

After the dinner, it was rare for Mountain Lord Huai to stay at home and chat with Madame Qing Yan. “Originally, the elders planned to wait for the blessing and let me go to the back of the mountain to reflect on my mistakes. However, there are demons wreaking havoc on the west coast of Huaishui and have already injured many people’s lives. Seventh Brother was guarding there and could not resolve it, so I could only go over and deal with it.”

He looked apologetic. “I was supposed to be with you and our son—”

Madame Qing Yan interrupted, “Don’t say such things. As the Mountain Lord, you should protect the people. Since our child has been blessed by our ancestors, it’s time to prepare some body-strengthening medicinal liquid for him. You have to do this.”

Mountain Lord Huai smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared it. Fifth Brother has obtained a top-notch tiger bone. With this kind of tiger bone to brew a medicinal liquid, it will definitely strengthen our son’s body. When he’s three years old, I’ll let him cultivate the Huai Family’s cultivation technique. It’s getting late. Let’s go to bed.”

As the candle went out, Shen Ping, who was in his swaddling clothes, was expressionless.

Five days passed. The Third Madame’s twins had also been blessed by the ancestral hall and held a banquet, but they were not conferred by the imperial court.

Late at night, a meteor streaked across the dazzling starry sky. The bright moonlight shone through the window and fell on the house in bunches. The life of a baby was boring. Other than milk, it was milk. It was impossible to change the taste.

In the past few days, Shen Ping circulated the “Taiqing Scripture”. This kind of cultivation technique was different from the immortal cultivation techniques in the immortal Dao territory. It was also different from the Dao Bone Growth Ring system of the Dao Sect World. It was mainly used to absorb the magic power of heaven and earth through cultivation techniques and store it in the five viscera and six bowels of the body, thereby executing various mysterious spells.

However, in order to use it in battle, one needed magic tools and treasures. Other than that, there were also divine abilities. For example, the Three Heads and Six Arms, Universe in the Sleeve, and Various Changes. Of course, these were only briefly introduced in the cultivation technique. There was no cultivation of divine abilities.

“It’s very likely because of the influence of the supreme stone tablet that the systems of the yellow giant hall world are relatively chaotic. None of them are complete.”

He finished a simple breathing exercise and his weak body had already accumulated a trace of magic power. This bit of magic power might seem pitifully small, but it could protect his body. If he circulated it, his six senses would be greatly strengthened.

Another few days passed. The energy he obtained was accumulated until the time to activate the mission. Shen Ping consumed it without hesitation.

[You have lost the spar with the Sword God’s disciple.]

[Please defeat the Sword God’s disciple within two years].

[Reward: 72 Thaumaturgy Transformations.]

When he saw the quest, the corner of his mouth twitched. Was this a mission that a baby like him could complete? Defeat the Sword God’s disciple? He did not even know who the Sword God was. And there was no disciple of the Sword God in the previous simulations as well!

But the reward was very tempting.

“Wait, that’s not right. According to the counterattack simulation, I was destroyed together with the Huai Clan more than a hundred years later. Now that I’ve accepted the challenge of the Sword God’s disciple, does that mean that I might not have died after a hundred years?!”
