Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 975: Terror (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations

The number of living beings in the Black Swamp Port exceeded Shen Ping’s expectations. He originally thought that there shouldn’t be many living beings in a gathering place like Chaotic Peak Mountain. However, from the port to the town, they encountered more than ten thousand living beings, including many Immortal Venerables and even Immortal Kings.

Immortal Venerable Yao guessed, “These might be the descendants or friends of those Venerable Sovereigns. After all, they can sense the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth very clearly on this Chaotic Peak Mountain. If they live here for a long time, the chances of breaking through to the Venerable Sovereign realm are very high.”

Immortal Venerable Luan nodded and said, “That’s right. If we can live here, we should be able to break through to the Venerable Sovereign Realm in less than ten thousand years!”

Shen Ping felt that what they said made sense. Chaotic Peak Mountain had probably existed for a longer time than the Immortal Dao Realm. Although the range here was only equivalent to an Immortal Realm in the Immortal Dao Realm, the cultivation environment was better than the core palace of the Realm Sea Peak.

No wonder he could sense that the number of ordinary Venerable Sovereigns accounted for almost 20%. This was undoubtedly a terrifying number. After all, even if a realm nurtured many Venerable Sovereigns, there was a limit. Moreover, it was impossible for all of them to come to Chaotic Peak Mountain.

They came to the market town. This was the only town from the dock to Chaotic Peak City. Here, Shen Ping saw many people at the mid-stage of the Initial Dao Realm like the black-armored ship owner.

Obviously, even in Chaotic Peak Mountain, there were very few creatures who could reach the intermediate stage of the Initial Dao Stage.

“Let’s stay in this town for a while and familiarize ourselves with life here. We’ll see if there’s any medicine to treat my master’s injuries. If there’s none, we’ll go to Chaotic Peak City,” Shen Ping said.

The ladies had no objections. They had come this time mainly to find a rare treasure that could treat Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong.

They found an inn, paid the Genesis Crystals, and moved in. Initially, Shen Ping had planned to book three rooms, but he was rejected by Immortal Venerable Luan. The room fee here was still very expensive. In the end, they squeezed into the same room as Shen Ping.

“You two need to restrain yourselves,” Looking at the restless Shen Ping and Immortal Venerable Luan, Immortal Venerable Yao could not help but remind them.

Immortal Venerable Luan whispered into Immortal Venerable Yao’s ear.

“Really?” Immortal Venerable Yao looked at Shen Ping in disbelief.

“How could I lie to you? Along the way, I felt that my understanding of the Great Dao of the Fire had become much purer.”

“But, but even so, I, I…” Immortal Venerable Yao didn’t know what to say. She mainly pursued the Great Dao to begin with. If she could really improve by doing that with Shen Ping, it would naturally be better.

Seeing that Immortal Venerable Yao was still hesitating, Immortal Venerable Luan snorted, “You’ll know when I break through to the Venerable Sovereign Realm.”

She then started to cuddle with Shen Ping. Looking at the firesparks that came from them, Immortal Venerable Yao could only close her eyes and block her perception.

For the next period of time, the three of them frequently entered and left the inn, strolling around the town, eating, and so on. Gradually, they gained a relatively detailed understanding of Chaotic Peak Mountain.

“Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong’s injury should be a True Spirit injury. It can be healed with just one Dao Spirit Pill. However, this Dao Spirit Pill is very expensive and costs thousands of Genesis Crystals. We can’t afford it at all. Furthermore, it’s in Chaotic Peak City. The living fee there is even more expensive!

“In addition, the journey from the market town to Chaotic Peak City is five days long. During this period, there are many bandits who specialize in plundering passing merchants. In this Chaotic Peak Mountain, other than the three major market towns and Chaotic Peak City, as well as a few rare areas, everywhere else is dangerous!”

Immortal Venerable Yao said worriedly, “Fellow Daoist Shen, what should we do? Should we stay in Black Swamp Town first and slowly earn Genesis Crystals, or go to Chaotic Peak City?”

Before Shen Ping could speak, Immortal Venerable Luan said helplessly, “I’ve asked Sister Yao. There’s very little work the two of us can do in Black Swamp Town. We might not even be able to earn five Genesis Crystals a year. I think we should move out of the inn first and find a cave abode near the town to live in.”

Shen Ping frowned. “Isn’t the cave abode more expensive?”

“No. The market town and the Chaotic Peak City are the only two places that are expensive to live in because it’s safe there. However, it’s very dangerous once we leave these two areas. Even the cave abodes near them are easily plundered. We can spend a small number of Genesis Crystals to live in the cave abodes beside the town. That way, it’ll be much safer.”

Immortal Venerable Luan smiled bitterly and said, “If we knew that Genesis Crystals were so difficult to earn, we might as well have been on the deck.”

Immortal Venerable Yao also said in embarrassment, “Fellow Daoist Shen, we can’t keep using your money, so Sister Luan and I plan to go out and do work.”

Shen Ping was stunned. “You haven’t broken through to the Venerable Sovereign realm yet. What can you do? Will you be in danger?”

“Picking herbs, engraving Dao patterns, nurturing Astral Beasts… Although I earn less, it’s still very safe. Only picking herbs requires me to leave the town.”

Shen Ping looked at their eyes and knew that they had made a decision, so he could only say, “Try not to go out. Stay in the town.”

“Okay.”

He did not come to Chaotic Peak Mountain to search for rare treasures, but to find the whereabouts of the red bracelet. It was just that he had not sensed it for the past few days. “Lord Yin is right. This red bracelet is not like the purple bracelet. Even if I get close, I might not be able to sense it… So, how can I find it? I should earn some Genesis Crystals first to make up for the puppet’s Dao Body. That way, I can have stronger combat strength and it will be easier to find it!”

In this town, there were many Dao Pills and rare treasures that could restore one’s Dao Body. As long as his puppet’s Dao Body recovered, he would have the combat strength of the Dao Origin Realm.
