Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

“Hmph, Fellow Daoist Qi, Fellow Daoist Nanji, you’ve made a good plan. You’re actually guarding the altar. Looks like you’ve already obtained the jade book of the Great Dao. Hand it over!”

The Spirit Race relied on their numbers and did not take the six Immortal Venerables of the human race seriously at all.

Immortal Venerable Nanji and the other three did not expect the Spirit Race to appear collectively. However, they would not retreat. They immediately fought the Spirit Race’s Immortal Venerables and tried to snatch it.

When Shen Ping saw this, he took advantage of the intense battle to spit out a large amount of spider silk. Then, he seized the opportunity and immediately rushed towards the purple door of the third altar. In fact, when the six Immortal Venerables began to wait, he knew that it was impossible to continue obtaining the Great Dao Jade Book.

Not to mention that the Spirit Race had appeared collectively. They would definitely go to other altars to intercept the jade book of the Great Dao like him.

It couldn’t be helped. After all, the Spirit Race was strong. The sudden appearance of the golden-purple spider creature indeed made Immortal Venerable Nanji, the other human Immortal Venerables, and all the Beast Spirit geniuses of the Spirit Race unable to react. When they came back to their senses, Shen Ping’s avatar had already arrived near the purple door.

“The altar has changed. It seems that the previous bronze altar was an illusion of the golden-purple spider creature!”

“The other altars should have golden-purple spider creatures!”

Shen Ping was not in the mood to care about what the Spirit Race would do next. After his clone escaped from the purple door, his main body immediately made preparations. The moment his clone appeared, he pretended to kill the golden-purple spider clone and took its corpse.

The Devil Clan’s Immortal Venerable and the strongest prodigy of the Flame Race, who were sitting cross-legged at the edge of the lake and waiting like him, only took a glance before retracting their gazes. After all, to them, the golden-purple spider creature had no other value other than obtaining the jade plate previously.

Besides, the suppression and restraint were too great on the fifth level. Even if one’s physique was powerful, it was impossible for them to fight like before.

After Shen Ping sat down quietly again, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. Although he did not continue to obtain the Great Dao Jade Book on the altar behind, it was already very profitable for him to obtain another Great Dao secret technique.

Swish, swish, swish.

Not long after, Immortal Venerable Nanji, Immortal Venerable Yao, Immortal Venerable Qi, and the others appeared. However, their expressions were gloomy. Clearly, they had not gained any advantage in the battle with the Spirit Race’s Immortal Venerables. After all, they were suppressed and restrained. Even if the six of them were powerful, they were not a match for the hundred or so Beast Spirit geniuses of the Spirit Race.

“Damn the Spirit Race. It’s very likely that they’ll snatch the Great Dao Jade Book from the other altars!” Immortal Venerable Nanji gritted his teeth.

Immortal Venerable Qi glanced at the lake and saw that there was only one Immortal Venerable of the Devil Clan and the strongest prodigy of the Flame Race. He shook his head and said, “Not necessarily. The other Immortal Venerables of the Devil Clan and the Flame Race haven’t come over. When they gather, they might split the rest with the Spirit Race.”

Immortal Venerable Yao said, “If the remaining Winged Race, Dragon Race, Phoenix Race, and other races also act collectively, the Spirit Race might not be able to obtain the Great Dao Jade Book.”

Immortal Venerable Bing sighed. “We humans still have too few Beast Spirit geniuses.”

The other Immortal Venerables could not help but sigh. This time, they finally experienced the helplessness of having fewer people. Immortal Venerable Yu came to Shen Ping’s side and asked, “Shen Ping, did you obtain the Great Dao Jade Book of the first altar?”

The other Immortal Venerables looked over. Shen Ping did not hide it. In fact, it was very difficult to hide such a thing.

“Fortunately, my race obtained one.”

Although Immortal Venerable Nanji and Immortal Venerable Yao were envious, they were not jealous or greedy. After all, this thing indeed relied on their own strength.

“Alright, let’s continue to wait. There are a total of 52 secret techniques and only 20 altars. There are still 32 secret techniques left. We might have a chance.”

Immortal Venerable Qi and the others also casually found a place to wait. As for Immortal Venerable Nanji, he asked about the golden-purple spider creature that had escaped from the purple door. After knowing that Shen Ping had killed it, he did not continue asking.

As time passed, more and more Immortal Venerables and Beast Spirit geniuses gathered by the lake. Although the various races had been eliminated by the golden-purple spiders on the fourth level, there were still nearly a thousand races that had passed the altar.

Among them, the Spirit Race was far in the lead. The Devil Clan was second, followed by the Realm Clan, the Stone Clan, the Skeleton Clan, the Winged Race, the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and other clans. Other than the humans, the average number of remaining clans exceeded 20.

Of course, the human race had the most Immortal Venerables. However, the human race did not have Beast Spirit geniuses at the level of Immortal Kings. Other than the strongest prodigies and top prodigies, the other races had more Immortal Kings.

What was worth mentioning was that the Spirit Race, the Devil Clan, the Flame Race, and the others had jointly intercepted the jade book of the Great Dao and did not obtain much. Facing special races like the Realm Clan and the Stone Clan, they were even more defeated.

Psst.

After all the remaining Beast Spirit geniuses passed through the purple door, the vast lake finally dissipated. Twenty islands gradually appeared in the distance of the lake.

“If I want to obtain a Great Dao secret technique on this level, I should have to ascend the island. Moreover, this is the first time so many races are gathered together. They might compete and kill each other.”

“Our magic powers and divine sense are all suppressed and restricted. Those who have more people have an advantage!”

Immortal Venerable Nanji, Immortal Venerable Qi, and the others frowned. It was the same for Shen Ping. Most of the people in the first four levels acted alone, including on the altar. He could rely on his talent to gain an advantage, but it was difficult to use his advantage in the lake.

Immortal Venerable Yue said softly, “I don’t think so. They might have the advantage in numbers, but we should have a chance. Otherwise, we can just be eliminated.”

As the few of them discussed, the Beast Spirit geniuses of the Devil Clan and the Spirit Race began to move. They went to the tall trees not far from the lake to cut trees. Although they no longer had magic powers and divine sense, the physiques of Immortal Venerables, Immortal Kings, and others were astonishing. Even the strongest prodigies and some top prodigies had physiques that far exceeded ordinary people. In a short while, they made the trees into rafts.

Fortunately, the trees by the lake were dense. When the other races saw this, they also went to cut the trees. They still had the Dharma treasures in their hands, but they had lost their magic power and could only use them as tools. Shen Ping also used the Primordial Chaos Spear to cut trees.

Immortal Venerable Nanji’s Dharma treasure was a pseudo-treasure axe. When he cut trees, he was much more efficient than the others. However, as he cut the trees, he said speechlessly, “I never thought that there would be a day when I would use this Heaven-Opening Axe to cut trees.”

Immortal Venerable Qi was slowly cutting the leaves of the trees with his sword. He teased, “Fellow Daoist Nanji, axes are meant to cut trees.”

Immortal Venerable Yao and Immortal Venerable Yue were a little obsessed with cleanliness. They were unwilling to use their magic treasures to cut trees and could only help make the raft. Immortal Venerable Yu smiled and said, “How long has it been since we experienced such cultivation after we became Immortal Venerables? Just treat it as a pleasure.”

Immortal Venerable Bing changed the topic. “I’m afraid it’s not easy to board the island. We have to make a stronger raft. It’ll be troublesome if we fall into the lake.”

“From the previous test, there must be something in the lake.”

The group chatted as they made rafts. They were few in number, but the number of rafts they needed to make was also small. Their efficiency was faster than the Spirit Race, the Flame Race, and the Devil Clan.

“There are seven rafts. We can take care of each other. If the other rafts are destroyed, we can immediately move to the remaining rafts.”

After placing the rafts on the lake, Shen Ping and the others began to row the raft towards the island. The Realm Clan, the Stone Clan, and other special races were also on the lake. Because the lake was extremely vast, after the Devil Clan and the Spirit Race followed, they did not do anything else.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

After rowing the raft for five minutes, layers of waves rose on the calm lake in the distance. Shen Ping used his Pupil of Sea Beast to check. He saw that the dense energy aura under the lake in the distance was quickly surging towards the lake.

“Be careful, something is coming!”

In fact, there was no need for him to remind them. Immortal Venerable Nanji and the others clenched the magic treasures in their hands tightly and revealed vigilant expressions. They were prepared to fight at any time.

Swish, swish, swish.

Just as the waves were about to reach them, big fish with long swords on their backs jumped out of the lake.

Puff! Puff!

As they flew, these swordfish spat out water arrows to attack Shen Ping and the others..
