Fairy Luo Xia nodded and hesitated, “I’m afraid that after the Mahayana Realm experts of the Penglai Immortal City come, the various races will attack again.” The Mahayana Realm was indeed troublesome. If he fought with all his might, although he was confident in fighting such an expert, it would be very difficult for him to kill him as easily as killing a Body Integration expert.

“It’s fine. When the time comes, our Treasure Pavilion will keep a low profile and shrink the caravan. However, with this intimidation, I believe that even if the various races want to attack, they won’t be fearless.”

What he lacked now was time to grow. The reason why he made a move this time was firstly because he did not want to be so aggrieved, and secondly, to buy time.

With the Heaven Ascension Hall, he could continuously obtain high-grade beast spirit treasures and a large amount of strange beast energy on the jade box. As long as he broke through to the Body Integration realm, he would have the combat strength of the Mahayana Realm in his enhanced state.

Time passed.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye.

The situation in Sword Seal City and Gray Stone City had already returned to calm. Shen Ping’s attack on the Flame Race’s flying ship caravan had indeed had a huge deterrent effect. Even the demons had not come out to disturb them during this period of time. No one wanted to encounter an expert who could easily kill a Body Integration expert. However, everyone knew that the current calm was only the calm before the storm.

After all, many cultivation cities in the surrounding area had already been suppressed and were in the stage of attacking the human sects. Once these cities ended, the entire human race in the Western District would welcome a dark moment. At that time, the various races would have enough manpower to transfer to Sword Seal City.

Shen Ping knew this very well. However, there was nothing he could do about this. He could only take it one step at a time and try his best to buy time for himself. If he really could not resist, he would escape.

“Don’t worry, husband. Those human seniors at the Mahayana Realm and Tribulation Transcendence Realm of the Penglai Immortal City are not so easy to defeat. It will definitely take a long time for the Devil Clan, Spirit Clan, and other races to destroy the foundation of the human race in the western region of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness.

“Moreover, although the various races chose to temporarily form an alliance because they were afraid of the potential of the human race to rise again, they definitely won’t be united, so things might not be as bad as we think.”

Seeing that Shen Ping had been in a bad mood recently, Yu Yan’s sweet grapefruit pressed heavily on Shen Ping’s chest and comforted him. “Even if the worst happens, Yun’er and I will still be by your side.”

He sniffed the fragrance emitted by the moist skin. Shen Ping could not help but say warmly, “Yan’er is right. It’s enough for me to have you guys.”

In fact, he was not worried about the situation in the Western District, but the situation in the underground palace of the Strange Beast Gate had been a little strange recently. The number of Beast Spirit geniuses who searched for strange stones daily was decreasing day by day. Even Yin Ting had gone to the underground palace pitifully few times in the past two to three years.

The reason was that the upper echelons of the Immortal Dao of the various races had given the order for the Beast Spirit geniuses of their race to do everything they could to comprehend the might and concept of strange beasts. They had also used supreme treasures to speed up the flow of time, allowing these Beast Spirit geniuses to comprehend a day was equivalent to a hundred days outside.

This was a huge sum of money. Even the top ten powerful races felt the pinch. Yet Shen Ping felt that something was amiss from this. He had asked Yin Ting and his master, but they did not know either. They still tried their best to comprehend the Beast Scripture.

This uncertain answer made it difficult for Shen Ping to calm down. Although he had the help of his wife, concubine, and Dao companions, and his speed of comprehending the Talisman Dao and the puppet derivative scriptures was very fast, there was a limit to how fast it was. Compared to those prodigies and Beast Spirit geniuses who could cultivate in time acceleration, he did not have much of an advantage.

“What are you thinking about, husband?” Seeing that Shen Ping had fallen into deep thought again, Yu Yan looked up and asked softly.

“Nothing.”

“Husband, you haven’t changed. You like to keep everything to yourself as much as before. When you escaped Cloud Mountain Parlour back then, you used Spring Garden to finally take me and Mu Jin away. You hid it from me so well.” Yu Yan rebuked.

Shen Ping smiled bitterly. “I had no choice at that time. I didn’t hide it from you on purpose. If I tell you some things, it will only add to your troubles.”

Yu Yan could not help but retort, “Husband, we’re Dao companions. We share honor and disgrace, living and dying as one. What’s so difficult about it? Not only me, Yun’er, Ying’er, and the others want to face it together with you.”

Shen Ping was silent for a moment before sighing. He knew that Yu Yan was right. If they were just ordinary Dao companions, there was indeed no need to say some things. However, be it Wang Yun, Yu Yan, Luo Qing, Bai Yuying, or the others, they had very deep feelings for him.

There was actually no need to hide anything else to them, other than the virtual interface.

“I’ve been thinking about the Strange Beast Gate recently.” He voiced his worries.

When Yu Yan heard this, she could not help but laugh secretly, “Husband, you’re not worried about those Beast Spirit geniuses, but about your own gains and losses. You also have a hidden competitiveness. Which prodigy-level Beast Spirit genius of the various races has not cultivated for tens of thousands of years? Their cultivation levels are even at the Mahayana Realm or Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Some are even True Immortals and Heavenly Immortal-level experts. Even that Yin Ting has cultivated for a long time. You have only cultivated for more than a hundred years. Naturally, you’re inferior to them. This is very normal.”

Shen Ping was stunned. He nodded seriously and said, “What Yan’er said does make sense. I was anxious.”

He asked himself. He did have a comparison in this regard. There was a virtual interface. Therefore, he did not want to be weaker than others.

This was human nature.

Yu Yan said faintly, “Husband has always been a genius. When you were in the five continents and four seas, you were even more eye-catching. Now that you’re in the Strange Beast Gate’s underground palace, there are many prodigies and beast spirit geniuses that far exceed you. Therefore, what you have to do is not to be pressured by your former glory, but to straighten your mentality and catch up. I believe in you. Back then, at Cloud Mountain Parlour, you were unknown at first, but later on, you became even more dazzling!”

Shen Ping smiled when he heard that. At his level, he naturally would not be easily moved by a sentence. However, Yu Yan’s words were indeed worth reflecting on. No matter how advantageous those prodigious Beast Spirit geniuses were, as long as he kept improving and climbing, he would surpass them one day. He looked at Yu Yan. “Yan’er’s words enlightened me. I have to reward you!”

As he spoke, he turned over. He felt the deepness of the Inner Charm Fire Body. After a while, Yu Yan was drenched in sweat.

Shen Ping kissed her red lips and sighed. “Speaking of which, I haven’t had a heart-to-heart talk with you in a long time. There are some things you don’t know, and some things I don’t know either.”

This was a barrier.

Although he had made his wives and concubines feel his affection, after more than ten years, except for Luo Qing’s virtual frame, Bai Yuying, Mu Jin, Qiuying, and the others had not changed much. He had not thought much of it before, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that he had been too perfunctory and negligent in some aspects.

Yu Yan felt a lump in her throat. Ignoring the exhaustion in her body, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to sit on Shen Ping. She stared at Shen Ping’s face and said, “It’s difficult for you to think of this. Although cultivators like us pursue longevity, since we are Dao companions, we naturally have mortal needs. We want to accompany you for a long time. Sometimes, I miss the past, the life in that narrow wooden building, and the box of white-bearded ginseng. I know I shouldn’t ask for more, but sometimes it’s really hard to control.” As she spoke, a few tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Shen Ping reached out to wipe his tears and sighed softly. “I’ve let you down.”

Yu Yan did not say anything else. Instead, she hugged Shen Ping tightly and felt the warmth that she had not felt in a long time. In the end, she lay in her arms tiredly and fell asleep.

At seven o’clock in the morning the next day, he got his wife, Wang Yun, to make a large table of sumptuous dishes. Then, he looked at Yu Yan and Jing Huilan, who were sitting on both sides. He said seriously, “In the future, our family banquet will resume. It will be held every ten days. This is a rule set by me. No one is allowed to break it!”

Jing Huilan was stunned. Sometimes, Nascent Soul cultivators would enter seclusion for a hundred years. If they have a family banquet every ten days, it is basically very difficult for them to enter seclusion and cultivate.

Wang Yun and Yu Yan looked at each other and smiled..
