Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Editor: Henyee Translations

Fortunately, he was reincarnated and had the True Spirit memories loaded into the virtual frame. He also had the protection of soul power. Otherwise, it would be difficult for any reincarnated Beast Spirit to survive in such an environment.

He controlled the flint beside him with his soul power. With collision and friction, sparks soon flew. It made the fire beside him burn, dispelling a lot of the cold.

It was just a simple gesture, yet Shen Ping felt exhausted and could only sleep soundly. However, he still left a trace of soul power. When the wood burned out, he forced himself and continued to add wood despite his tiredness.

Just like that, he barely lasted until nightfall. The hunger in his stomach kept attacking his weak nerves.

The wind was cold. The temperature in the house kept dropping, and even the fire could not be maintained. Even the ground was frozen into a layer of frost. This made Shen Ping frown.

At this moment, he smelled a fragrance. The fragrance actually came from his mother’s corpse, and it became stronger and stronger. This fragrance spread with the cold wind.

In just five minutes, his true soul power sensed that a large amount of cold energy was gathering around the entire room. This energy was like pure evil, filled with hatred, malice, bad luck, evil, and so on. It was completely different from Yin spirits and ghosts.

Shen Ping tried to use his true soul power to drive it away, but this evil energy could corrode his true soul power. This shocked him, and he hurriedly retracted his true soul power.

His true soul power was at the level of Immortal King. Even if it was limited by the baby’s body, it was not something that a mere negative evil energy could corrode. It could be seen how strange this world was.

And before that, he had sensed the energy of heaven and earth before. Just like the blue palace world, he could not sense any fluctuations of the Great Dao of heaven and earth, nor could he sense any laws or extraordinary energy.

Shen Ping was mentally prepared, but even so, he could not help but tremble in fear when he saw how powerful these evil energies were. If he was surrounded by it, he would definitely have no hope of survival.

A large amount of cold and evil energy kept gathering. In a short while, it exceeded tens of thousands of units. They adhered to the surface of the house and stared greedily at the corpse in the house and the baby, Shen Ping. But the house seemed special. The energy could not enter at all and could only bite.

Looking at this scene, Shen Ping felt tormented. No matter how he thought about it, it was useless. He could only wait for death.

Time passed slowly. Twenty minutes later, the evil energy finally broke through the defense of the house and swept in like a cold wind. It swarmed and greedily devoured the corpse while a small portion rushed towards Shen Ping.

Boom!

Just as the house was about to fill up, the corpse suddenly emitted a dazzling light. This light was like a lamp in the darkness, but also as hot as the sun. It instantly burned all the evil, cold, and vicious energy bodies.

Shen Ping watched in surprise as his mother’s corpse shattered. Six lamps condensed from special energy floated up, revolving around Shen Ping. Waves of warm energy gathered towards his weak body. After ten minutes, one lamp went out. The remaining five continued to surround him.

Shen Ping was stunned. Although he did not know what these lamps were, he could feel the love they had for him, as if they were burning with his life.

The second one went out. Then, it was the third. The fourth one. By the time the fifth lamp went out, his true soul power sensed that there was a lamp slowly lighting up in his body. This lamp was different from the one floating around him. It was more exquisite, and there were ancient patterns on the surface.

When the sixth lamp went out, his mother’s voice rang out, “My son, when a person dies, it’s like a lamp extinguishing. Don’t be sad, don’t be in pain. Death is also the beginning. Remember, don’t let anyone know about the lamp that’s lit in your body!”

Shen Ping was stunned. Only then did he realize that the lamp was his current life. As the lamp burned out, his mother’s life had truly come to an end. As the room went dark, he was the only one left.

“Aye,” he sighed in his heart. The ancient-patterned lamp in his body had already lit up. Although there was only a small flame, there was an endless warmth that dissipated the coldness in the surroundings.

And with this lamp, Shen Ping’s true soul power actually received a trace of nourishment and quickly recovered and strengthened. Even the hunger in his stomach seemed to have been replenished.

This went on for three days. Hillmen who went hunting in the mountains came to the house for the night and found the baby lying on the ground.

“Oh, this baby is still alive!”

“It can’t be. How can he still be alive in the depths of the snowy forest? It can’t be those vengeful spirits in the forest, right?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? The wraith can’t be seen or touched. How ignorant. This must be a noble with the bloodline of the Life Lamp. Hurry up and boil some goat milk for the child.”

“Uncle Shuan, you said this is a noble with a life lamp?”

“Other than the noble bloodline of the Life Lamp, who else can survive in this cold and ghostly weather? Everyone, hurry up. While we can still hunt in the next few days, let’s quickly hunt more food for the winter.”

The fire was rekindled. He also drank half a bowl of warm goat’s milk. Shen Ping finally did not have to endure hunger. Six days later, he was taken back to a village outside the forest by the villagers. Six years passed in the blink of an eye.

The most dangerous baby’s infancy has finally passed. At the age of six, he was as tall as a teenage child. Under the nourishment of various meats and the ancient pattern lamp in his body, his body was exceptionally strong.

“Uncle Shuan, when are you taking me to the city?” Shen Ping asked him. Although he had grown up in the village in the past six years, he had obtained a lot of information about the Life Lamp and vengeful spirits from Uncle Shuan. In some remote forests in this world, dark places would nourish many vengeful spirits. These vengeful spirits could confuse the mind and turn the villagers into man-eating beasts. If he wanted to deal with the vengeful spirits, he had to ask the Luminarist in the city.

Every Luminarist was very precious. Their life lamps were innate and belonged to talent.

“For you to survive alone in the forest, you must be a descendant of the Luminarist. When you’re ten years old, you can get the Luminarist in the city to light the life lamp in your body. At that time, you’ll be a noble. From then on, you won’t have to worry about food and drink and enjoy the best conditions. Child, bear with it a little longer,” Uncle Shuan grinned.

“Okay, I’ll listen to Uncle Shuan.” Shen Ping nodded. He was not in a hurry. He just wanted to obtain more information about the Life Lamp. However, Uncle Shuan’s guess was right. His mother was a Luminarist. Before she died, she instilled her six Life Lamps into him and lit that special Life Lamp.

“The snow is about to close the mountain again. Child, take the village young men and hunt in the mountains. Let’s try to aim for a good New Year.”

With the nourishment of his true soul power and life lamp, his physical fitness had long surpassed that of hunters like Uncle Shuan who had been hunting for years. The good men in the city who specialized in training were inferior to him as well. Therefore, from the age of five, he went into the mountains to hunt and gradually became the leader of the hunters.

None of the hunters objected. After all, he had the bloodline of a Luminarist. In this world, Luminarists were the most noble.

…

Spring passed and autumn came. The cold comes and the heat goes. In the blink of an eye, another four years passed. Shen Ping, who had grown to ten years old, was even taller than Uncle Shuan. He was comparable to the young men in the village.

And on this day, Uncle Shuan was finally willing to take him to the county city twenty miles away. Sitting in an ox cart as he drove slowly down the mountain road, the other young men were asking Uncle Shuan about some things in the city. Some of them had been there and were showing off.

The village rarely went to the county city. They would only go to the city to ask the Luminarist to come and clean up the vengeful spirits accumulated in the village during the ancestral worship that occurred once every four years.

“Pingzi, when you become a Luminarist, you have to help our village clean up the vengeful spirits for free.”

“No problem!”

Shen Ping smiled and said, “I wonder if I can become a Luminarist.”

“You definitely can.”

“Yes, when we saw you, you were the only baby in the snow. No one could have survived.”

“As long as one has the bloodline of a Luminarist, he can definitely become one.”

Shen Ping could not help but ask, “Without a bloodline, you can’t become a Luminarist?”

“Of course. The bloodline is preordained.”
