Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Editor: Henyee Translations

A simple and unadorned pavilion. The drizzle that carried a hint of coldness. Shen Ping closed the book and walked to the window. He looked at the rain outside the window and fell into deep thought. “In that case, the patterned lamp in my body is the longevity lamp. I was born to be a nine-star Life Luminarist.

“But why did my mother tell me not to expose the longevity lamp in my body? Is there a reason? Or is it that people with the longevity lamp will encounter some unpredictable danger in the early stages?”

He did not doubt his mother’s words at all. If a person who could use her life as the price to create his future was not trustworthy, then no one in the world could be trusted.

He thought for a moment, then suppressed the thought. Now that he had just become a Luminarist, it was useless to think about this. The most important thing now was to increase his strength as soon as possible so that he could better comprehend fate.

Even if the True Spirit Memory and various methods of an Immortal King could not be used here, his cultivation far exceeded that of other Luminarists. Therefore, in the following period of time, Shen Ping was like an ascetic. Other than following the Luminarists in the state city to clean up the vengeful spirits and absorb the power of the vengeful spirits to improve, he stayed in the garden and read all kinds of ancient books for the rest of the time.

Ten years passed quietly. He has grown from the age of 10 to 20, from an adolescent boy to an elegant young man. The number of Life Lamps ignited by his bloodline reached four. In just ten years, he broke through to become a four-star Luminarist. Even with the seven-star Life Qi talent, this speed was very shocking. After all, the improvement of a Luminarist was only to absorb vengeful spirits and Life Qi. However, be it vengeful spirits or Life Qi, they were not common.

Just like vengeful spirits that needed to be cleaned up after a period of accumulation. Normally, very few Luminarists would take the initiative to go to some dark and evil places to kill vengeful spirits. This was because killing them was useless. They had to combine their Life Qi to light their Life Lamps, and Life Qi was condensed by countless living beings.

Which meant, only by killing the gathered vengeful spirits in villages, towns, and places with high popularity could he increase his strength.

Of course, this is just a normal way to level up. If one could quickly ignite a Life Lamp regardless of the cost, it would be to plunder the Life Qi and energy of other Luminarists. These Luminarists were also known as Dark Luminarists.

No matter which world it was, there was light and darkness.

The seven kingdoms in the world looked like a pool of stagnant water. Whether it was the commoners or the Luminarists, their lives had been arranged. In reality, there were undercurrents. Wars between countries had happened before, and there was also competition for resources in various families in the country, the Luminarists factions, and so on.

Where there are people, there are conflicts of interest. Even though all of this had been arranged by fate, they still fought until their heads bled.

Just like now.

Standing in front of Shen Ping was a delicate girl in a pink dress with two ponytails. She represented the three major families in the state capital. Every family had a Luminarist. Ever since he was tested to have the talent of the Seven-Star Life Lamp, she had been trying to rope him in. “Brother Shen, we’re going out of the city for a trip tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?”

“Not interested.” Shen Ping continued to read. Although this girl with two ponytails had been by his side since he arrived in the state capital and could be considered a childhood sweetheart, it was a pity that she did not have any special physique, so she naturally could not attract his attention.

As for her body… As an Immortal King who had experienced many doors, he was no longer the immature youth from before.

“I heard that Princess Yunyang of the capital city will also come. Brother Shen, don’t you want to get to know her?” The twintailed girl continued without a care in the world.

Shen Ping looked up. “What is Princess Yunyang doing in the state capital?”

“For Brother Shen, of course. Among the young talents in the entire Nation of Yun, Brother Shen is the strongest and most outstanding.”

Shen Ping smiled faintly towards compliments. “Although the talent of a seven-star life lamp is rare, it’s not impossible in the entire Yun Nation, especially in the capital. There are even eight-star life lamps in the city. Compared to such an elite, I’m nothing.”

A seven-star talent was indeed outstanding in the state capital, but compared to the capital and the seven countries, it was not top-notch. There were also low-grade and high-grade eight-star life lamps. Just the low-grade ones alone numbered six to seven in the capital of the Yun Nation. They were destined to grow into powerful eight-star Luminarists and preside over a country.

The high-grade eight-star talent would become a National Guardian in the future. Hence, Princess Yunyang had definitely not come to the State Capital for him. The girl with two ponytails stuck out her tongue. “Brother Shen, don’t belittle yourself. Princess Yunyang has indeed come to Lingzhou City for something else. It’s just a matter of time.”

“Oh, you’re from the Yang family. You should be well-informed. Tell me, what’s the matter?”

Yang Yimo hesitated for a moment and said, “I’m not sure about the specifics. It seems to be a marriage alliance with the Yan Kingdom. Our Lingzhou is adjacent to the border of the Yan Kingdom and is often harassed. If the marriage alliance is successful, it will be much less troublesome and we can focus on fighting the Zhu Kingdom in the south.”

Only then did Shen Ping nod. The seven kingdoms of the world often fight each other. It had never stopped since the founding of the seven countries, and during this period, there were Luminarists involved.

He had read many ancient books and scriptures and guessed that this kind of war was probably beneficial to the Luminarists. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to continue like this. Moreover, there might be an even greater force behind it.

“When’s tomorrow?”

“Ah… Brother Shen, you’ve agreed. That’s great. I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”
