Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 270 - 258: Why Eternal Life? (1/3)

Chapter 270: Chapter 258: Why Eternal Life? (1/3)

The people in the private room were getting more and more excited, their voices growing louder. Zhou Heng hummed softly, releasing the aura of the Mountains and Rivers Realm. Suddenly, there was no more sound from that side, all was quiet.

"Lustful master, do you really say that Ying Mengfan is that beautiful?" Xiao Huoshui said unwillingly.

As a beauty herself, and a very narcissistic and proud one at that, the most annoying thing for her was to hear others praise someone else as being peerlessly stunning and unmatched in beauty right in front of her.

It was nothing short of a provocation!

Moreover, Xiao Huoshui was indeed a beauty one could find only in ten thousand or even in a million. With every movement, she exuded a multitude of charming expressions and had a naturally seductive charm, which was indeed something she could take pride in.

But nature works in mysterious ways, creating high mountains and deep seas, as well as diverse, uniquely charming beauties. If Xiao Huoshui was one in a million, then beauties like Han Yiyao and Mei Yixiang would be one in ten million!

Just like the Martial Path, there are always people outside the people, mountains outside the mountains.

Therefore, it’s not surprising that there were even more outstanding beauties than Han Yiyao and Mei Yixiang in this world—one in a hundred million, or even those that appear only once every few hundred or thousand years, truly capable of toppling kingdoms and cities!

Legends about Ying Mengfan could be heard everywhere in the Imperial Capital. Anyone who had lived through that era was filled with astonishment when speaking of Ying Mengfan—speaking of which, it had only been a decade or so, and humans are the most forgetful creatures. Perhaps in a few more decades, when the majority of mortals have passed away, Ying Mengfan would also just be a legend.

Just like the Great Eternal Emperor whose achievements spanned ages, how many people today know of his brilliance?

Unless one becomes an immortal of the ninth heaven, there’s no such thing as an eternal presence!

How much would one pay for eternal life?

Zhou Heng’s thoughts shifted from Ying Mengfan to something much more profound.

The Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch had chosen to forsake his physical body for eternal life, merging with the Demon Sword, while Gu Heqian and Black Donkey had chosen to seal their life force, traveling through tens of thousands of years in search of an opportunity to become immortal!

Such actions required tremendous courage!

Just like when Gu Heqian and that scoundrel donkey had swept through his cave dwelling. Fortunately, their powers were weaker. If it had been someone from the Nascent Soul Realm, would they have casually dealt Gu Heqian a finishing blow, truly sending him six feet under?

Zhou Heng kept thinking—what price was he willing to pay for eternal life?

He had no clear answer, and after thinking for a while, he couldn’t help but laugh. He didn’t even know how much longer he had until his life force dried up, and besides, couldn’t he rely on his own strength to transform from mortal to immortal, breaking through the void?

Not only would he become immortal, but he would also take his parents, relatives, and lover to the so-called Immortal Realm!

One man attains the Dao, and all his chickens and dogs rise to heaven!

For himself! For his loved ones!

With this thought, Zhou Heng’s conviction solidified a bit more, his eyes opening wide with divine light shining brilliantly.

"I really want to meet this Ying Mengfan!" Xiao Huoshui murmured, leaning closer to Zhou Heng, rubbing his arm with her full bosom.

Man! Check the situation before flirting, won’t you?

Zhou Heng also conjured in his mind an image of a woman with blurred features; before seeing the real person, who could imagine someone being more beautiful than Han Yiyao and Mei Yixiang?

The limits of human imagination are ultimately finite.

Although Ying Mengfan had disappeared for over a decade, her allure in the Imperial Capital had not diminished in the slightest, constantly being mentioned. Who wouldn’t harbor a desire to meet this peerless beauty?

...

After a fierce battle of entangled limbs, Zhou Heng crawled out from between the three women, looking at the provocative scene of intertwined jade legs and arms, and he felt a strong sense of satisfaction arise.

The cultivation of a Martial Artist is merely a process, each with their own pursuits.

Some aim for power, some do it for the sake of beauties, some for revenge, some just to kill. Of course, there are also those who purely pursue strength—they are desireless and infinite, seeking power for the sake of power alone, worthy of being called martial maniacs or martial fools.

Zhou Heng introspectively asked himself—he didn’t have great ambitions. Though cultivation was interesting and challenging for him, there would come a day when he reached the end of his cultivation journey, or perhaps his potential would be exhausted, unable to advance further.

At that time, wouldn’t he have felt utterly empty?

Fortunately, beauties were the greatest gift from heaven to men!

Zhou Heng smiled. Then he should just be someone who was loyal to his desires.

Nangong Yuerong’s eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Zhou Heng with a complex expression.

Under the persuasion of Orchid Concubine, she chose to submit to Zhou Heng because this man was too powerful and could grant her supreme authority—even though she and Orchid Concubine were not quite the same, she liked to gain power through her own strength, but relying on the strong was the universally accepted logic of this era.

To win Zhou Heng’s favor and compete with Xiao Huoshui, she showed her disdain and contempt for Zhou Heng under the seasoned guidance of Orchid Concubine, thus awakening his desire to conquer.

Sure enough, subtly and steadily, this was very effective. When both of them could hardly bear his affections, Zhou Heng often held her tightly, which was a kind of punishment but even more a favor.

At least, that’s what Orchid Concubine believed.

In the harem, the popularity of a concubine was judged by how often she was favored by the emperor.

But this was also too tiring!

This man was simply a beast, with his endless brutal strength and inexhaustible energy, like a knight adept at war, who could ride her to exhaustion every time, making her lose herself in a delirious mix of pain and pleasure.

If this continued, she might just die of happiness!

This scoundrel should expand the harem soon. Three people were just too much for her to handle.

After Zhou Heng left the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, he naturally settled the bill, leaving the innkeeper who had previously endured a scolding moved to tears. There were indeed good people in the world, those who might leave but could still come back.

As he returned to the Zhao Family, and just as he was about to enter, he heard two clear female voices calling out, "Young Master Zhou! Young Master Zhou!" He turned around and saw two pretty girls hurrying towards him.

Lu Chenfu, Ruan Jiaying!

What were they doing here?

"Young Master Heng, so these two are your friends!" the guard at the door said, "My apologies, I did not know and stopped them earlier. I ask for Young Master Heng’s forgiveness!"

"It’s alright," Zhou Heng waved his hand, naturally not harboring any anger due to this. He looked at the two women and said, "How come you are here?" After a pause, he added, "Come inside first and we’ll talk!"

As Zhou Heng walked shoulder to shoulder with the two women, a few guards at the door showed envious expressions. Who wouldn’t like top-grade beauties?

Arriving at his courtyard, Zhao Kexin came out to greet them. Seeing these two distinctly styled beauties, she couldn’t help showing a mix of joy and worry.

She had been worried that Zhou Heng might not find a daughter-in-law, but now one top-grade beauty after another kept showing up. It was fine for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but wasn’t this number getting a bit too much?

"Tell me, did you encounter any trouble?" Zhou Heng looked at Lu Chenfu, in his eyes, this woman was a kidnapping magnet.

Lu Chenfu glared at him annoyedly, but remembering that Zhou Heng was an "Open Heaven" expert, she quickly averted her gaze and spoke respectfully, "With Miss Ruan’s help, Chenfu has expanded her business here!"

"Oh?" Zhou Heng showed surprise, that was not an easy feat!

Ruan Jiaying gave a gentle smile and said, "Serving Young Master Zhou is my honor!"

That woman still hadn’t given up on her original idea and still believed that he was the owner that Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was looking for!

Though Zhou Heng felt that this woman was overly persistent, she had helped him several times, and he owed her a favor owed! With many secrets still to keep, he had no choice but to owe this favor and repay it later.

"By the way, we’ve brought another batch of metals!" Ruan Jiaying took out a heap of metals from her space artifact.

Whoom!

The Black Sword in the Dantian suddenly vibrated intensely!
