He cultivated for another year and mastered half of the Mysterious Great Art. Even ordinary demons and ghosts were not his match. Seeing that the cultivation method was successful, his restless heart became restless again. “Father, I want to go out and adventure.”

Shen Erdan’s face was filled with determination. Huaishan Town was too small. Even a small matter like this could cause the entire town to talk about it. As a person with great ambitions, he had long wanted to leave this place and explore the world to see more scenery.

After saying this, he was still very nervous, afraid that his father would reject him. Unexpectedly, Shen Ping agreed immediately. “You’re not young anymore. You should go out and adventure. I have to remind you that although the outside world is very exciting, it is also accompanied by all kinds of suffering. If you bring your friends out, they might die because of your decision in the future. Don’t regret it then.”

Shen Erdan said happily, “I’ve asked them, and they’re all willing to follow me out. I really haven’t thought about the future, but no matter what happens, I won’t regret this decision today.”

Shen Ping smiled and said, “Alright, tell your mother later and ask her to give you some money. You can leave in a few days.”

“Thankyou, Father!”

Yin Shu was still very reluctant to see her son leave. There was a saying that parents did not travel far, but she knew that she could not stop her son’s heart, so she reminded him, “When you are outside, you have to be careful. When you encounter evil things, don’t be rash. In the future, you won’t have parents by your side to protect you, understand?”

“I understand!”

Three days later, Shen Erdan left Huaishan Town with his four childhood friends.

Looking at their backs, Yin Shu said, “Junior Brother, why don’t you try to persuade him?”

Shen Ping shook his head. “Our son has grown up and has his own thoughts. Do you want him to stay by your side for the rest of his life? As the bloodline of a Heavenly Immortal and a Perfected Lord, his life will definitely be magnificent in the future. If we forcefully keep him, it will instead cause a restriction on him. Don’t worry about his safety. He has the spell I left on him. Even an Earth Immortal won’t be able to hurt him.”

Only then did Yin Shu realize that her husband had long broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. She sighed and said, “I don’t want him to have a spectacular life. I just want his life to be safe and smooth-sailing.”

The town’s five villains have left. At first, there was a little commotion, but soon, no one in the town cared. After a few months, they seemed to have forgotten about them.

This was the mortal life.

Time flew by.

In the fifth year after Shen Erdan left, something big happened in the world. The Jing Nation was devoured by the joint forces of Yan and Jin. It shocked the other countries to the point that they allied to resist the joint forces of Jin and Yan. Meanwhile, there was a storm between the Dao veins. They began to fight for the dragon vein and resources.

Other than that, the number of demons and ghosts in the world was increasing, especially demonic creatures. They appeared frequently and even destroyed several small Dao sects, attracting the attention of many Daoists. After all, as long as one’s cultivation was strong, they would understand the overall situation. However, demonic creatures were born to destroy everything. These things did not care about rules and logic. It was very easy to corrode Daoists’ minds and become demonic puppets.

Therefore, a few Dao sects wanted to send Tianshan, Emei, Kunlun, and other Dao sects to send Perfected Lords to clean up these demonic creatures.

Unfortunately, Tianshan Mountain, Kunlun, Emei, and the others were busy supporting the dragon snake and preparing for the final cauldron. They ignored the requests of these Dao sects. In their eyes, the demonic creatures were just some products of the chaotic world. As long as the world was fixed, they could quickly resolve it.

As these Dao sects ignored their requests, more than to Dao Sects sent Perfected Persons led by Ling Yin Temple to slay demons. Twelve years later, this team of demon slayers kept expanding and invited all the capable people in the world to go to the Yin Demon Valley together. Shen Ping’s son, Shen Yifan, was among them. After the seal was removed, he relied on his powerful body to shine in the Yin Demon Valley and was finally taken in as a disciple of the Ling Yin Temple.

This made Shen Ping click his tongue. The world was really small. His son had actually entered the Ling Yin Temple. However, he still did not interfere.

Just like that, another ten years passed. Not only did the number of demonic creatures in the world not decrease, but it also increased. On the contrary, the demon slayer team suffered heavy casualties. Although there were ambitious people who wanted to use the increasingly powerful demon slayer team to fight for the dragon vein, the root of the problem was that the demonic creatures were too strong. Moreover, there were wildfires that could not be extinguished, and they were tenacious.

At first, Shen Ping was actually the same as Tianshan, Kunlun, Emei, and other Dao sects. He did not care. No matter how strong the demonic creature was, it was only a moss disease. However, in the past few years, the demonic creatures had grown to a point comparable to powerful Dao sects.

He calculated with his fingers and revealed a strange expression. The wrecking of demonic creatures actually coincided with the situation of the world. If he forcefully cleaned it up, it would be going against the situation.

“It seems that there really is a powerful person in this world playing chess behind the scenes!”

Shen Ping had already understood that the entire game of chess had probably begun from the moment the Great Zhao’s Imperial Preceptor advised to reduce the Dao sects in the world. This was because the power of the Great Zhao had decreased to nearly a thousand years. According to normal historical development, there should have been a new dynasty long ago. However, until now, the various countries were still in chaos. Once a vassal kingdom was powerful, its king would either be infected or be attacked by demons and ghosts.

It was obvious that there was some faction pushing it behind the scenes. Their goal was to nourish the demonic creatures.

“Who is it? Heavenly Immortal Xue Jing, Kunlun’s Heavenly Immortals, Emei and Taishan’s Heavenly Immortal, or the Golden Immortal that doesn’t exist in this world? For what purpose?”

He could not help but think. If a Heavenly Immortal was playing chess, he would definitely become a Golden Immortal. However, if he was a Golden Immortal, he would already be standing at the peak of this world. There was nothing he could improve. Or rather, at that height, the benefits he saw were not what he thought.

Actually, this could not be blamed on Shen Ping. Although he was an expert in the Tribulation Transcendence in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness and stood at the peak of the lower realm, he was still a junior with low strength in the Immortal Dao territory after all. He did not have any experience in this aspect.

“Well, whoever it was, their purpose will be revealed in the end.”

He shook his head and suppressed his thoughts. In any case, as long as it did not involve his interests, he would not interfere no matter who controlled the situation in the world.

The days passed.

Huaishan Town was still calm and without any waves. The Jin Country had become stronger, but the taxes had not decreased. Instead, they continued to increase. However, the commoners had long had a way to deal with this. As long as the tax collectors came, they would run into the mountains. If they forcefully occupied the fertile land, they would wait for the wheat to be harvested. Their main strategy was a guerrilla tactic, which they had learned from Shen Erdan.

The main reason was that there was Xi Lengyan, the god of death, in the town. The bailiffs could not do anything to Huaishan Town. If they really forced her, the yamen would become a punching bag.

Therefore, the county lord of Huaishan County had changed several times. No one was willing to take up a position here. Even if they came, it was just a formality. In the fortieth year after Shen Erdan left, he returned to Huaishan Town. In fact, during this period, he sent several letters to his family. In the beginning, he sent one almost every year.

This time, he came back with the coffins of his four companions that left with him.

Although Shen Erdan was a genius with extremely high cultivation talent and had attained 200 years of cultivation in just a few decades, his four companions were only ordinary people. Even if they were guided by Life Destruction, facing demonic creatures, they would only be courting death.

However, they had been glorious before. It was better than staying in Huaishan Town for the rest of their lives.

Shen Ping could tell that his son was in low spirits. Among the four of them, there was a woman who was in love with him, but she died in his arms.

“Yifan, this is the path you choose. Whatever the consequences, you have to bear them.”

That was all Shen Ping said at the grave..
