Editor: Henyee Translations

According to the calculations in the counterattack simulation, he would only be able to become a Perfected Lord at the age of 25 and an Earth Immortal at the age of 100, which was actually very fast. After all, most Daoist factions would become Perfected Lords at the age of 100.

Though, this speed was much slower than the palace world he had experienced before. After cultivating, he sat on the eaves of the academy and looked up at the moon in deep thought.

To be honest, he was starting to miss his wife, concubine, and dao companions. This had never happened before. He had only reincarnated for five years, yet he actually had this type of thought.

He suspected it was due to the influence of the supreme stone tablet, or perhaps it was because he was too tired from cultivating. Ever since he was weak, he had almost never stopped. Although there were times when he relaxed, he was either cultivating or on the path of cultivation most of the time. He did not calm down to appreciate the surrounding scenery.

The palace world, including the people and things he had experienced in the five continents and the four seas, the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, and so on, seemed to be just a fleeting cloud.

He stayed for a while then Shen Ping returned to his room and looked at Xin Xiang, who had crawled into the blanket to warm the bed under the candlelight. He crawled in and asked, “Xin Xiang, where was your family in the past? Have you followed my mother since you were young?”

Xin Xiang exclaimed. She did not expect the young master to suddenly ask such a thing, but she quickly replied, “My family is a dilapidated family in Qingzhou. That winter, my family encountered a snow disaster. Then, my parents froze to death. They gave me their only cotton shirt. In the end, Madam passed by and brought me along. If not for her, I would have frozen to death with my parents that winter.”

Shen Ping sighed. “How pitiful.”

Xin Xiang shook her head. “I’m lucky to have met Madam. There are countless pitiful people in this world. So when you become Mountain Lord Huai in the future, you can do some things for the people of Huaishan Prefecture.”

What an unpretentious thought. Would he do it? This could be a piece of cake. But his spirit had long been numb. The lives of the commoners at the bottom could not touch his true spirit. Perhaps this was the price of becoming a powerhouse.

“Go to sleep.” Shen Ping actually wanted to continue asking, but he swallowed his words. Xin Xiang nodded. She leaned into Shen Ping’s arms with a blissful expression and slowly fell asleep. Although her face was not as charming as his wife, concubine, and Dao companions, she had a simple and calm feeling. She did not have a restless heart or thoughts. She only wanted to accompany Shen Ping. “This is a maid. A commoner’s girl.”

Shen Ping suddenly smiled. Therefore, the next day, he came to Huaiyang Prefecture again. Looking at the soaring demonic aura, he swung his sword. He doesn’t care who’s behind it. It was fine if he did not encounter it, but since he did and saw it, he would feel unhappy if he did not kill it.

He had been cautious for so many years and was already a mid-stage Dao Origin Realm expert. Even if he reincarnated and descended into the world of the supreme stone tablet, he still had to continue pretending!!

Fuck. Then what was the point of cultivation!

“Demons and evil spirits, destroy them!”

The sword light was pure. With a dignified and righteous aura, he killed evil with a single strike. A sword intent slowly condensed between Shen Ping’s brows. This sword intent immediately communicated with the origin of the Great Dao in this world, forming a unique seal of Sword Dao.

And this was his unique Protection Sword Seal. It was impervious to evil and dominant to all laws. In the depths of the crocodile ancestor altar, there were layers of space surrounded by endless demonic qi. This seemed to be the place where evil thoughts gathered. The endless demonic qi condensed into a single eye and looked up into the sky.

“Who comprehended the seal of the origin of the Great Dao?! Could it be another Dao Lord or a native expert of this world? The supreme stone tablet has another powerful competitor. It seems to be in the area under my control. I’m so unlucky!

“I randomly found a place to cultivate in seclusion and wait for an opportunity, but in the end, I encountered such a vicious fellow. He could even comprehend a great dao origin seal in this world. As long as the seal wasn’t destroyed, his true spirit wouldn’t be destroyed!”

In the Nine Heavenly Courts above the clouds, the vast and majestic god sensed the fluctuations of the origin of the great dao of heaven and earth, and even the supreme stone tablet trembled slightly. The god was endlessly amazed. This kind of seal of the origin of the great dao was something that even dao lords wanted to comprehend.

If it was said that one had to create a secret technique at the Dao Lord Realm to advance from the advanced-stage of the Dao Origin Realm to the Dao Lord Realm, then Dao Lords and above had to walk their own unique paths. However, most Dao Lords were still comprehending the quintessence of the Grand Dao, and not to mention walking their own paths of the Grand Dao, they couldn’t even figure out the quintessence of the Grand Dao.

However, if he walked his own path, he would be the foundation of the strong.

Back in the world of the red hall, it was precisely because the master of the Realm Sea Peak saw that Shen Ping had his own path and his protection that he was satisfied and unlocked the true Sword Dao inheritance authority.

“An indigenous native? No, there’s actually a heavenly secret that’s hiding it. It even seems to carry a sinister and gray aura. It must be those guys outside again. Damn it!”

…

Shen Ping killed the evil demons in Huaiyang Prefecture and came to the Dragon God Temple in Zejiang. There was also a Dragon God Temple in Huaiyang Prefecture. He shouted in a low voice, “Where is the Dragon God? Come out quickly!”

The river condensed into a ball of water and quickly formed a human figure. He hurriedly came in front of Shen Ping and bowed. “Greetings, Heavenly Lord. Fortunately, you took action and eliminated all the demons in Huaiyang Prefecture. Otherwise, even my Dragon God Edict would have dissipated!”

The Dragon God had a bitter expression on his face. Shen Ping hasn’t even said anything yet, and he’s already complaining.

“As the Dragon God, you enjoyed the incense offerings of the people, but you actually indulged the demons and evil spirits to wreak havoc. Hmph, if the imperial court knew, they would definitely report it to the Heavenly Court and take your title.”

The Dragon God of Zejiang heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. “Sir, I know, but I have my difficulties. In the entire Huaiyang Prefecture, even True Lord Huaiyang has been occupied by evil demons. The power behind him is extremely terrifying. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been hidden behind the heavenly secrets. Even if he reported it to the Heavenly Court, they wouldn’t have really sent Celestial Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to kill demons. In the end, it’s still my fault!

“I didn’t do it on purpose. I also reported it before, but the Mountain God and the River Hod were both implicated. Their bodies and souls were destroyed. If it wasn’t for the fact that I still had incense and power of will in other places, I would have long perished!

“Fortunately, you’ve appeared and slew demons and evil spirits. You returned Huaiyang Prefecture to its former glory! I will immediately report it to the imperial court and ask them to send an envoy to reappoint the True Lord and gather incense. It won’t be long before Huaiyang Prefecture is lively again.”

Shen Ping looked at the Dragon God and knew that what he said was actually the truth. He had only killed so many demons on a whim and on a mission. Otherwise, why would he care about such a matter? The Imperial Court and those Daoist, Buddhist, and spiritual branches probably thought the same.

Besides, it was not just Huaiyang Palace. Nearly half of the Nine States had powerful figures setting up plans. No one dared to make a move in such a muddy situation.

“I’ll let you off this time. You know what to do about Huaiyang Prefecture in the future, right?”

“Yes, yes, I know.”

Shen Ping left after saying that. Cold sweat broke out on the back of the Dragon God. In front of such a person, the pressure was really too great. However, the other party was really bold. He dared to kill demons in the territory of Huaiyang Prefecture. The nearby White Cloud Temple did not even dare to make a sound.

“Maybe he just became a Heavenly Lord!”

Soon, the Dragon God transformed into a stream of water and fused back into the river. After Shen Ping returned to Huaishan Prefecture, he felt that the anger in his chest had been swept away. He was in a very good mood. He came to Xin Xiang. “Xiang’er, do you want to cultivate the Daoist Scripture?”

Xin Xiang was stunned. “Daoist Scripture?”

“That’s right. It’s the kind of Daoist scripture that can allow one to live forever and slay demons!”

“You can kill demons? I’ll learn, I’ll learn!”

“Haha, good, I’ll teach you the technique of the Taiqing Scripture today. This is a secret between us. Remember not to spread it!”
