Chapter 984: Another Top Heaven and Earth Great Dao (2)

“Yes, ma’am. I’ll instruct my men to patrol day and night and not let anyone in.” With that, his gaze fell on the baby in Madame Yu’s arms. “Madame, although the Marquis is dead, the Young Marquis still needs to be taken care of. You have to take care of your body. Moreover, the Young Marquis has inherited the title. If he doesn’t reach the Marquis’ strength in the future, he will inevitably be judged in the court.”

Madame Yu snorted. “The emperor’s intentions are obvious, but I won’t let them have their way. With me around, no one can hurt my son.”

Suddenly, an eagle landed in the backyard at an extremely fast speed. When she saw the symbol on the eagle’s paw, Madame Yu frowned. Then, she handed the baby in her arms to her trusted maid and went to the eagle’s side to take down the letter. When she saw the contents, her expression changed several times.

“What happened, ma’am?” the iron-blooded man, Deputy General Chen, asked.

Madame Yu gritted her teeth. “Something happened at the Sword Whisper Tower. I have to rush back. I’ll be back in at least three months or at most half a year. During this period, I’ll leave Ping’er’s safety to you.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

That night, Madame Yu left the mansion overnight and rushed to the Sword Whisper Tower. Shen Ping leaned into the plump and soft arms and looked up at the delicate maid, Yue Zhu. His eyes flickered. At this critical moment, his mother had actually left. Clearly, someone was pushing this matter. Otherwise, it would not be so coincidental.

And what was the other party’s motive for doing this? It was most likely for the House of Marquis.

Apart from him, the Marquis of Zhenbei had five other concubines. They each gave birth to twelve children. The most outstanding one was the eldest son of the third branch. He was only eight years old, but he had already broken through to the third realm. Especially his Sword Dao, he had even mastered a high-grade sword technique.

Other than the eldest son of the third branch, the other children were also very outstanding. They had inherited the talent of the Marquis of Zhenbei and cultivated extremely quickly.

As for him…

As his true soul power probed his body, he could clearly feel a bloodline energy circulating in his meridians and blood vessels, nourishing his body, causing the aura of heaven and earth to constantly surge into his acupoints. Clearly, his bloodline was powerful. Once he stepped into cultivation in the future, he would definitely shock the world.

Sure enough, there were thieves infiltrating ten days later. He came to the backyard without anyone noticing and used a colorless and odorless medicinal powder to temporarily confuse Yue Zhu, Deputy General Chen, and the twelve guards around the backyard. Then, he came to Shen Ping.

“For a seventh-realm cultivator like me to personally destroy such a young marquis, it’s worth it even if you become a cripple in the future.” This expert used a special secret technique to inject extremely powerful corrosive energy into Shen Ping’s body before quickly leaving.

Yue Zhu, who was beside him, and Deputy General Chen, who was guarding outside, were completely unaware. One of them was at the late-stage of the Fifth Realm, and the other was at the mid-stage of the Sixth Realm. If they did not have the medicinal powder, they would have been able to sense it. However, with the medicinal powder, they could not sense a Seventh Realm expert sneaking in.

“The target is actually me… In that case, if you cripple me, I naturally will be unfit for the position of Marquis of Zhenbei. Then, who is the mastermind behind this? Is it Emperor Yu of the Imperial Capital, the Marquis of Dongchang, or the demon kingdom of the Northern Region?”

While he was thinking, he quickly analyzed the corrosive energy with his soul power. This corrosive energy could completely corrode his bloodline and bones. It was equivalent to turning him, the legitimate son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, into an ordinary person who could not cultivate. A moment later, his true soul power expelled the corrosive energy.

“Looks like I’ll have to lay low for a few more years.” Shen Ping shook his head. Although he had the protection of his true soul power, he still could not resist the assassination of an expert when he was weak.

In less than three months, Madame Yu, the mother of his reincarnation, had returned. “Yue Zhu, did anything happen while I was away?”

The maid replied, “Don’t worry, madam. I’ve never left the young marquis’s side.”

Madame Yu heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good.” She picked up Shen Ping and pinched his chubby face. “This child doesn’t cry or make a fuss.”

The maid, Yue Zhu, smiled and said, “Madam, the Young Marquis must be talented and intelligent.”

“Perhaps. I hope he’s safe and sound. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have named him Shen Ping. Unfortunately, as the legitimate son of the Marquis of Zhenbei and my son, he has some responsibilities in the future. There are some things that he still has to bear.”

The next day, the third branch came and brought their eldest son to the backyard, hoping that Madame Yu could teach her son sword techniques. After all, everyone knew that Madame Yu was the Sword Son of the Sword Whisper Tower. Her Fluttering Snow Sword Technique was unparalleled in the world. Although she had not reached the level of the Sword Master, she was already one of the few sword experts in the world.

For the sake of the Marquis of Zhenbei, Madame Yu still agreed. “I only have one sword move for him. Whether he can learn it or not depends on himself.”

The third branch is very grateful. It was already not bad to have a move. Hence, Madame Yu asked Yue Zhu to bring her sword, the Frigid Snow Sword. She casually drew a sword and her aura suddenly changed. She was as sharp as an unsheathed sword.

She thrust her sword forward. The sword cry echoed in the courtyard for a long time, and layers of frost formed on the ground. In the eyes of the third branch, Yue Zhu, and the baby Shen Ping, it was as if they were in a world of ice and snow.

Shen Ping, who was lying in the cradle, blinked. The sword intent contained in this sword was very pure, but he could not see any traces of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. He could not help but think to himself, did the experts here not comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth? However, the sword intent clearly contained the exquisiteness of water.

Looking at the eldest son of the third branch standing on the spot, Madame Yu did not say anything. Instead, she carried Shen Ping and left the courtyard.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, more than two years passed.

Shen Ping had also grown from an infant to three years old. During this period of time, he had been protected by his mother. Other than dealing with military matters, his mother often practiced her sword in the courtyard. Although it was mainly to maintain her familiarity with the Sword Dao, every time she practiced the sword, Shen Ping saw it.

It was as if she was also looking forward to Shen Ping being able to understand her sword technique. She even talked to Shen Ping about the profoundness of the sword technique.

“The sword is a weapon. It can’t be constrained to form. It can be constrained to force. It can be driven by the heart and can transform into all things…”

The three-year-old Shen Ping’s mind echoed with Madame Yu’s words. He pointed at one and executed it according to the sword technique his mother usually practiced. This kind of sword technique was nothing to him. He only needed to take a few glances and use his powerful true soul power to learn it. However, that sword intent took a lot of effort.

His fingers condensed into an invisible sword. As he stabbed out, a large amount of frost enveloped the courtyard.

“Although I don’t seem to be able to communicate with the Great Dao of the Water here, I’ve comprehended the Great Dao. When I use my sword intent, I can easily execute the concept of snowflakes. It’s just that I feel that something is wrong.” He stood in the courtyard at his young age, his brow furrowed. “The sword has no shape or force, and is not bound by…”

He kept thinking about this sentence. Shen Ping understood that it was nothing more than saying that he should not be restricted to every move. He had to use his heart to drive the sword to execute the sword intent.

However, just the sword intent alone was not of any help to him. After all, this was the palace world, and it was the red palace world. The Realm Sea Peak had specially left it behind. Only by comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth here could it be of help to him.

“What’s a sword?” Suddenly, he thought of this question, and all the information related to swords flashed through his mind. He still remembered that he had seen a movie. The sword was not restricted to its form. It could transform into a long sword or a long whip. It could change into anything.

He closed his eyes, the memories of his true soul power quickly flashed through the sword techniques his mother, Madame Yu, had displayed over the years. Although the ground was covered in frost every time and the sword intent was cold, it was definitely not the Great Dao of the Water.

“Could it be… Sword Dao?!” It was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through Shen Ping’s mind. He suddenly understood. He closed his fingers again and stabbed forward. Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, five elements, reincarnation, and other great Daos were displayed one by one in this sword technique. In the end, they condensed into a pure sword. There were sword marks in the air that only dissipated after a long time.

At this moment, on the virtual frame, a new column slowly condensed.

[Sword Dao: Current Progress: 0.1%]

In this infant stage where he was learning how to speak and could not even walk steadily, he had successfully comprehended the top Great Dao, the Sword Dao!
