Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 1013: Emperor Yu’s Condition (1)

Editor: Henyee Translations

At the end of the dark path in the bamboo forest was a bamboo pavilion. The pavilion was not big, but it was square. The Cliffmaster of the Sea Moon Cliff was sitting in the pavilion, smiling at Shen Ping and the youth who were slowly walking over.

After entering the bamboo pavilion, the two sat down. The Cliffmaster skillfully brewed tea. The young Sword Master looked at Shen Ping and said with a smile, “There are very few people in this world who can make the Cliffmaster personally brew tea. You and I can enjoy it once.”

The Cliffmaster shook his head and said, “What you said is different. Both of you are outstanding talents. It is my honor to be able to make tea for you.”

After tasting the tea, the three of them chatted about some unrelated topics. Then the Cliffmaster started talking about serious matters. “Marquis of Zhenbei, I heard from the Sword Master that you have comprehended the true meaning of the sword technique of the Scroll of Mountains and Rivers. Is this true?”

Shen Ping nodded. “I have comprehended the sword techniques contained in the Scroll of Mountains and Rivers for both Seeping River Academy and Sword Whisper Tower. The Scroll of Mountains and Rivers is a rare true sword technique. If it’s fake, I believe it can’t be deceived.”

The Cliffmaster nodded. He was just asking casually. With the Sword Master as a witness, it could not be faked. After all, he and the Sword Master were both experts in the Immortal Realm and had deep attainments in the Sword Dao. In particular, the Sword Master’s Sword Dao could be said to be the best in the world. It was impossible for him to not see through the authenticity unless he deliberately deceived them. However, it was meaningless.

If one could not comprehend the painting after looking at it, even if they forcefully outlined the scenery outside, it would be useless. Otherwise, Seeping River Academy would not be so generous.

“Okay. I hope the Marquis of Zhenbei will keep his promise.”

He patted the bamboo under his palm. With a crack, the entire bamboo pavilion collapsed. It collapsed for more than a thousand meters before stopping at a huge cave. The surroundings of the cave were embedded with crystals, illuminating the cave.

Shen Ping and the Sword Master looked at each other. Only then did they know that there was another world below. They arrived at the stone hall in front of the cave. The Cliffmaster said, “Sword Master, I hope you can wait here.”

The Sword Master nodded and stood there with his eyes closed. The Cliffmaster brought Shen Ping to the stone room in the stone hall. Then, he took out the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers and handed it to Shen Ping.

The scenery of the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers was actually similar to that of the Seeping River Academy. It was just that there were some individual objects, such as mountain rocks and lake depths, that were different. However, the outlines were different. The content of these two Diagrams of Mountains and Rivers was a continuation of the two paintings of the Sword Whisper Tower.

The viewing lasted half a day.

Shen Ping returned to the stone hall and displayed the sword techniques of the two diagrams in front of the Cliffmaster. Each diagram was a kind of Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, but it was the most ordinary. This was very simple for him.

Yet in the eyes of the Sword Master and the Cliffmaster, it was very profound and difficult to understand. However, they could tell that this sword technique was definitely a high-grade sword technique. The Sword Dao contained in it was much stronger than what they cultivated.

“Thank you, Marquis Zhenbei, for teaching me the sword technique!” The Cliffmaster suppressed the excitement in his heart. Previous Cliffmasters had wanted to figure out the true meaning of the sword in the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers, but in his generation, it had come true.

The Sword Master said, “Lord Chou, although the sword technique on the scroll of the Mountain and River Painting is very superb, it is far inferior to the supreme sword technique contained in it. Now, only the three scrolls of the Heavenly Sound Temple and Monarch Mountain are left. Don’t you want to know the supreme sword technique?”

The Cliffmaster looked at the Sword Master and then at Shen Ping.

“If I can comprehend all of it, I will naturally impart it to you. If I violate this oath, my sword heart will be damaged from now on, and it will be difficult to advance even half a step!”

This was already the most vicious oath.

Hearing this, the Cliffmaster’s eyes were filled with anticipation, “Sword Master, Marquis Zhenbei, tell me what to do. I’ll listen to you!”

The Sword Master was overjoyed and said with a smile, “Alright, with the help of the Cliffmaster, we will succeed.” He immediately explained the conditions of the Heavenly Sound Temple. “Hmph, if those old bald donkeys really don’t know what’s good for them, with our strength and Monarch Mountain, we can flatten the Heavenly Sound Temple!”

In order to achieve their goals, the Sword Master could be said to be unscrupulous. As expected of someone who cultivated the Heartless Sword Dao.

On the other hand, the Cliffmaster frowned. “Sword Master, the grievances between the Heavenly Sound Temple and the Monarch Mountain have been going on for a long time. In fact, the four top factions all have grudges with the Monarch Mountain. If we join forces with the Monarch Mountain to deal with the Heavenly Sound Temple, Seeping River Academy might side with the Heavenly Sound Temple. Also, don’t forget that faction.

“Those who reached the Immortal Realm will be taken in. Although it’s an idle faction and has very little restrictions on us, rumor has it that the master behind this faction is an expert of the ninth realm. We have to be careful with it. I suspected that the reason why Monarch Mountain could rise was mainly because of the effect of it secretly adding fuel to the fire. Therefore, we have to consider the matter of joining forces with Monarch Mountain at length!”

The Sword Master waved his hand. ” Cliffmaster Chou, I know the consequences of this matter, but the supreme sword technique of the Mountain and River Scroll is the most important. As long as you and I can cultivate it, even if it’s only ten percent, we might be able to break through to the ninth realm. At that time, why would we be afraid of the faction behind us?

“And you don’t have to worry about Seeping River Academy. I believe Palace Master Ji will understand what you and I mean. Of course, there’s no need to worry too much. Perhaps those old bald donkeys will come to their senses.”

The Cliffmaster frowned even more. He was not as optimistic as the Sword Master. Putting aside whether Shen Ping could comprehend the supreme sword technique, even if he did, the other party might not really hand over the sword technique. Moreover, they had yet to even cultivate the other sword techniques in the Mountain and River Diagrams. It was too ambitious to target the supreme sword technique.
