Chapter 995: Sword Dao Discussion (1)

Editor: Henyee Translations

Those who are not of our race will definitely have different intentions.

Shen Ping could not judge the actions of Seeping River Academy. In this era, it was really commendable to have a top faction that did not discriminate between countries and did not care about their status. For example, the Monarch Mountain, the Heavenly Sound Temple, the Sword Whisper Tower, and the Sea Moon Cliff all depended on aptitude, background, and bloodline.

Even if there was someone of humble class who stood out, when it came to seeking resources to advance further, they could only obediently train and settle down. This is a common phenomenon in all worlds.

To put it bluntly, it’s a fixed class. Therefore, Seeping River Academy was a holy land for cultivation in the world. Countless students and cultivators yearned for it. It was normal for the Yuhua Shen Dynasty to be afraid.

Actually, if Shen Ping really had to choose a faction, he would most likely choose Seeping River Academy. After all, he had also cultivated from the bottom. He knew very well that for the outstanding bottom, what was lacking was opportunities and resources.

Therefore, after knowing the rules of Seeping River Academy, he had a good impression of it. During these years of training in different palace worlds, he had seen and experienced too many things. There were very few things that could make him have a good impression.

After Madame Yu arrived, she rested for half a month. Then, Shen Ping’s convoy set off again.

“Since my son is going to Seeping River Academy, there’s no need to bring so many maids. Also, leave the twins in the mansion and let me nurture and discipline them for you, so they can serve you with all their hearts in the future,” Madame Yu said earnestly inside the exquisite and spacious carriage.

The corners of Shen Ping’s mouth twitched. It was not easy for him to have a pair of twins who massaged his shoulders and legs, but his mother took them away. However, he could not refuse. He could not say that he only wanted to use them to nourish his eyes.

“My son, after you get married, no matter how many women there are, I won’t stop you. But before you get married, you can’t mess around.”

“I’ll listen to you.”

Madame Yu was very happy. The convoy returned to the Marquis of Zhenbei’s residence. The Sword Whisper Tower’s envoy had arrived. This time, it was a sword seed. It was enough to show how much the Sword Master valued the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Madame Yu felt very proud. She was from the Sword Whisper Tower. To be treated so politely, she was naturally happy from the bottom of her heart. When she found out that she was here to discuss the marriage, she was even more surprised.

“Junior Sister Yu, the rules of the Sword Tower cannot be broken. It’s just that Marquis Zhenbei is extremely talented and is a rare genius in the Sword Dao. The Sword Master cherishes talent, so he thought of a compromise.

“If the Marquis of Zhenbei takes a fancy to someone, as long as he defeats them, the Sword Master will demote this Sword Seed to a Sword Son. This way, there will be no problem in getting married.”

The envoy smiled and said, “Senior Sister Huo is the most eye-catching person in the Sword Tower. Not only is her sword intent profound, but her looks and figure are also top-notch. The Sword Master wants the Marquis of Zhenbei to spar with Senior Sister Huo.

“Of course, with Marquis Zhenbei’s current cultivation, he might not be a match for Senior Sister Huo. He should be fine after waiting for a few more years.”

Madame Yu hurriedly said, “Senior Sister, don’t worry. I’ll definitely bring these words to my son. I believe my son will agree.”

The envoy nodded, “I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei is going to Seeping River Academy. After some time, I’ll ask the Sword Tower to send a sword seed to the academy to exchange pointers. At that time, we can arrange for them to meet.”

“That’s great.”

After it was decided, the Sword Tower envoy left. Madame Yu also told Shen Ping this news. “Huo Ru. She’s known as a sword immortal. When I was at the Sword Whisper Tower, she was still an ordinary disciple who had just entered the Sword Tower. However, in less than a hundred years, she had cultivated the sword manual and comprehended the supreme sword intent of the Sword Whisper Tower, the Taixuan Sword. With this sword technique, she had killed immortals.”

Shen Ping could not help but be surprised. “She killed an immortal as an Earth Immortal?”

Madame Yu smiled and said, “My son, don’t underestimate the talents in the world. Although the Immortal Realm is strong, the geniuses ranked at the top of the Cosmos Ranking all have monstrous combat strength. Every one of them has polished their bodies at the Earth Immortal Realm, strengthened their foundation, and honed their skills just to be able to be close to the Dao. Once they step into the eighth realm, they will be experts among the Immortal Realm.

“You are still young and have a long way to go. Back then, your father was too anxious and entered the Immortal Realm a step earlier, causing him to fall in the end. Otherwise, if he was like those prodigies, even if he was surrounded, he definitely wouldn’t have reached this step,” Madame Yu sighed.

Shen Ping could not help but ask, “Mother, how did my father die? Was he surrounded and killed by the Immortal Realm Demon Emperors of the Demon Kingdom?”

Madame Yu shook her head. “This matter is very complicated. It’s not as simple as it looks. My son, don’t investigate. It’s not too late to investigate when you step into the Immortal Realm and become an expert.”

Shen Ping did not ask further. In fact, everyone could tell that the Marquis of Zhenbei’s death was very strange. A dignified Immortal Realm cultivator actually died in the depths of the Demon Kingdom and the matter was quickly suppressed after that. It was simply ridiculous.

He had stayed in the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate for a few days before Shen Ping went to Seeping River Academy. This time, he did not travel slowly. Instead, he directly rushed from the astral winds. In a few short hours, he arrived at Seeping River Academy.

…

The smoke was ethereal. The river was surging. There were palaces that seemed to be located at the top of the clouds at the intersection of the undulating mountain ridges. This was Seeping River Academy. It was located at the upper reaches of the Lijiang River. Mountains surrounded it on three sides, and in front of it was Lijiang. The scenery was pleasant, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful.

Looking down from the sky, it was as if the entire academy was in a fairyland. Students came and went on the ship in an endless stream. The shops and pavilions along the coast were prosperous and lively. It was Lijiang City, which had been built with the development of Seeping River Academy.
