Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 1080: Great Dao Origin Seal (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations

The entire imperial court had thirty-six prefectures in the Nine States, and every prefecture city was under the jurisdiction of the conferred Heavenly Dao Perfected Lord. Further down, the counties and towns were managed by the county officials and the City Gods of Yin. Then, there were the River God, Mountain God, Land God, and so on.

Under normal circumstances, the two prefectures minded their own business. For example, Huaishan Prefecture was next to Huaiyang Prefecture, and the main water flow of the Zejiang was in Huaiyang Prefecture. On the other hand, a small branch of the Huaishui flowed into Huaiyang Prefecture.

Occasionally, there would be evil demons and devils running over, but they would basically not continue to run around like shown in this counterattack simulation. In fact, his father in this life had died because of such evil demons and devils. Shen Ping had read all kinds of books of the Huai family. This situation could only mean one thing, that there was a problem with Huaiyang Prefecture.

So that night, Shen Ping set off to Huaiyang Prefecture. Then, he activated his Divine Eye and checked back and forth. Sure enough, he found a problem.

Shuiyang County, a county that borders the Huaishan Prefecture, had already been contaminated by the evil demons. Most of the people inside had become food for the demons, but it was hidden very well. Even the Divine Dao here was polluted, and the incense and power of faith were not obvious.

To be able to do this, this was definitely not an ordinary force.

“Could it be the arrangement of the celestial demon behind the crocodile ancestor altar?” Shen Ping had made such a guess before. Now he’s even more certain. Although the Imperial Court was loose in their governance of the various prefectures and maintained a stable appearance, it had long lost control. When he had just reincarnated in this world, he had seen it on the way back to Huaishan Prefecture.

Even Huaishan Prefecture could not interfere in this matter. There was no point in reporting it to the Imperial Court, because there must be a deep connection behind it.

“I didn’t expect that even the officials of this county would be corrupted and become the lackeys of the demons. Perhaps the Daoists, Buddhists, and other spiritual factions don’t know, or they’re deliberately pretending not to know!”

As the saying goes, when you see a nest of rats, the whole room is actually completely occupied by rats. Since Huaiyang County had become like this, the situation of Huaiyang Prefecture could be imagined.

Shen Ping pondered. With his magic power, he could easily slay demons and devils. However, if he did so, would it attract the attention of the powerful expert behind them, or would it lead to an even worse situation?

He thought about it He first came to a village near a small river near the tributary of Huaishui. It looked lively. There were even women beating and washing their clothes with mallets by the river, and children playing beside them.

In Shen Ping’s perception, everyone had been parasitized by evil spirits. In the center of the village, there were demons entrenched, they just transformed into the commoners who had harmed before to maintain the life here.

“Brother, do the demons here eat humans?” Shen Ping’s body was condensed with magic power and was isolated by his true spirit. The evil spirits and demons here could not detect him at all. However, when they heard this, the women and children immediately revealed ferocious expressions.

“Young man, I don’t know what you’re talking about. How can there be any demons in our Little River Village?” the muscular man said.

Shen Ping said indifferently, “Alright, stop pretending. I could tell that you weren’t human early on.”

The heads of the women, men, and children all appeared, their bodies filled with demonic aura. Before they could attack Shen Ping, they were shattered by a sword light. Next, he slaughtered the monsters in the village at an extremely fast speed. Then, he began the counterattack simulation.

Most of the contents are the same as before. Only the details are different.

Shen Ping heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as he did not attract the attention of the mighty figure behind the evil spirits and demons. It was actually not a big deal for him to slaughter a village. Sometimes, when the past Daoists and Buddhist monks discovered it, they would do the same thing as him.

But things would be different if they slaughtered too many.

Next, he took action consecutively to annihilate the heretics and demons in three villages. Basically, the possibility of these things escaping to Huaishan Prefecture was cut off in a short period of time. He opened the virtual frame and took a look. As expected, the counterattack mission had been completed.

He had obtained the Universe in the Sleeve! He looked at the cities in the distance and shook his head. The waters of this world were too deep. It was better not to get too involved when he’s weak.

He returned to Huaishan Prefecture’s family academy and returned to his previous lifestyle. Every day, other than drinking milk and daydreaming in the family school, the other seniors, including Huai Lian, did not play with him. It was as if they were ostracizing him.

The thoughts of these little fellows were too simple. It was all because he was a Spiritual Master, even if he did not do anything, he could become a Perfected Lord with incense and power of faith and control an area.

If it were a real child, he might feel sad, but Shen Ping could not be bothered to argue with these little fellows. On the other hand, he did not have any counterattack missions regarding Huai Lian recently, which was a pity. He originally wanted to spar with this little fellow and see how strong the crocodile ancestor in the depths of his bloodline inheritance was.

Unfortunately, the counterattack mission did not give him a chance to show his strength. In the blink of an eye, another two years passed. Although Shen Ping was only a five-year-old child, he looked about the same as a thirteen-year-old youth. He was very tall and could eat milk without Xin Xiang bending down.

At night, he breathed in and out the yin light of the moon and used the Daoist Scripture to cleanse his magic power.
