At least for now.

“Husband, we're going to take a bath.” The girls gathered together and whispered a few words. Bai Yuying blinked and said.

Shen Ping was unmoved and said calmly, “I'm tired from the long journey today, so it's not convenient for us to communicate. 1'11 go and rest first. After I recuperate, I'll fight another day.” With that, he walked towards the main quiet room without looking back.

The next day, Shen Ping, who had returned to his peak state, walked out of the quiet room and was about to go to the master bedroom to fight when he saw Pei Huoyu walking towards him. There was a hint of seriousness on her valiant face.

“Perfected Pei. What happened?” The two of them arrived at the stone pavilion. The moment he sat on the stone stool, Shen Ping asked.

Pei Huoyu said solemnly, “The headquarters has just sent news that all core members and the core members of the various halls have to return to the headquarters within ten years. They won't wait for anyone who's late. Ever since 1 joined the True Treasure Pavilion and became the core of the Mountain Fire Hall, I've never seen such news from the headquarters.

“I asked Senior Brother, but he didn't know the exact reason. But no matter what it is, something unexpected must have happened in the True Treasure Pavilion.” Speaking of this, she glanced at the spirit beast slot, the herb garden, the quiet room, and the room. She continued, “The True Treasure Pavilion spans the five continents and four seas. It's a top faction in the Zhongsheng Continent. If such a huge matter involves danger, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for us to be thorough with our strength.

“Of course, it's only a guess at the moment, but Fellow Daoist Shen has to make preparations early.”

Shen Ping frowned. “Perfected Pei, do you mean that it might be dangerous to return to the headquarters?”

Buzz-

Before Pei Huoyu could respond, her identity jade token vibrated. She hurriedly took it out. Her divine sense seeped into the jade token. Her master's dignified voice sounded, “Huoyu, in half a month, 1'11 send your senior brother to the Linhai Immortal City. At that time, bring that little fellow back to the headquarters with the flying ship.”

Pei Huoyu was shocked and hurriedly asked, “Master, what happened at the headquarters?”

“A calamity is about to descend on the five continents and the four seas ten years later. I'm not sure what kind of calamity it is, but the headquarters has already activated many defensive formations.”

Hearing this, Pei Huoyu could not hide the shock on her face.

The Nine Lights Divine Might, the Five Elements Heavenly Fire Reincarnation, the Strange Beast Divine Light, and other defensive arrays were the strongest large-scale arrays in the headquarters. Just setting them up required the help of more than a thousand array masters, and they were personally completed by the main hall experts.

Its defense could be said to be top-notch. However, this array formation was like the sect's array formation. It would not be activated easily. It would only be activated when the sect encountered a powerful enemy or was in danger of annihilation.

And now, the True Treasure Pavilion that spanned the five continents and four seas had actually activated the legendary top-notch defensive arrays. This undoubtedly meant that the calamity that was about to descend on the five continents and the four seas was like the sky falling.

Her divine sense withdrew from the jade token. Pei Huoyu was shocked and could not digest the calamity her master was talking about. It was until Shen Ping's continuous shouts rang in her ears that she came back to her senses. She repeated the news her master had revealed with difficulty.

“Calamity…” Shen Ping's expression darkened. He could not help but recall the unknown horror he had seen through the perception talent of the strange beast several times previously. He had thought that it was only a matter of time in the future, but in the end, it was actually ten years later!

“Fellow Daoist Shen, in half a month, you and I have to go to the headquarters. The True Treasure Pavilion has stood in the five continents and four seas for countless years. It's very likely that it has experienced such a calamity in the past. I believe that we will definitely be able to survive safely in the headquarters.”

Shen Ping looked at Pei Huoyu and hurriedly asked, “Perfected Pei, can the core members bring their wives, concubines, and family along?”

“Let me ask Master.” Pei Huoyu replied and sent her divine sense into her identity jade token. Not long after, she forced a smile on her face. “Fellow Daoist Shen, the families of the core members will be arranged in the Zhongsheng Continent. It's the same for the first-grade guest elders of the various states. Since the True Treasure Pavilion has made such an arrangement, I think there won't be any problems with their safety.”

Shen Ping's heart tightened and he could not help but ask again, “Perfected Pei, didn't you say that if you can become a member of the main hall, you can bring your family to live in the headquarters?”

Pei Huoyu thought for a moment and explained, “The headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion is actually divided into two regions. One is the Treasure Immortal City in the Zhongsheng Continent. That's the periphery of the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion. The place where Fellow Daoist Shen is taking the assessment is the core of the True Treasure Pavilion. It's located on a rather large island near the sea in the east of the Zhongsheng Continent.

“Most of the core members are qualified to live in the core area. However, if they can't comprehend the five volumes of the beast skin before breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, the core members will lose their right to live there. They can only go to the Treasure Immortal City or be sent to the garrisons under the various states.

“Other than that, the core members of the various halls like me also have the right to live there, but there are also conditions and restrictions. Therefore, it's very difficult to bring your family to the core area of the headquarters. You have to let your wife, concubine, and family have the right to live, even if it's temporary.”

When Shen Ping heard this, he frowned. “In that case, the residence you mentioned earlier is only temporary?”

“Yes. The Class A core of the True Treasure Pavilion has the authority to establish members of their own faction, but there are only five members. Moreover, they have to be recruited from the various halls. These five members can rely on the Class A core to temporarily stay in the headquarters. The time limit is usually 6o years.

“It's even more so for the core of the main hall. Not only do they have as many as twelve members, but they can also recruit a wider range of people. They're not limited to the various halls. The time limit is usually a hundred years.”

Shen Ping suddenly understood. His expression immediately relaxed. Although it was very difficult to become the core of the main hall, there was still a trace of hope. If there was no hope, then he could only accompany his wife and Dao companions to the outer Treasure Immortal City of the True Treasure Pavilion and wait for thane calamity to descend.

He did not know if the Treasure Immortal City would be safe. But even if it was dangerous, he could not let his wife, concubines, and Dao companions stay away from him.

Pei Huoyu sighed helplessly and said, “Currently, only the top three on the Glory Ranking are core members of the main hall. 1 know that Fellow Daoist Shen is confident, but if you want to become the core member of the main hall, you have to be in the top ten at the very least!

“Before the headquarters sent the message, it wouldn't have mattered even if you failed in the end. However, the situation is different now. You have to go to the headquarters within ten years. To enter the top ten of the Glory Ranking in such a short period of time… is simply impossible!”

Shen Ping shook his head gently. “I won't let my wife and concubines be in danger.”

Pei Huoyu understood the meaning behind Shen Ping's words. Instead, she fell silent. After a long time, she stared at Shen Ping and said, “There are some things that you will regret if you make the wrong choice.”

Shen Ping smiled. “Perfected Pei is right. If I let Yu Yan, Wang Yun, and the others leave my side, it will be the greatest mistake I've made since 1 started cultivating. Not to mention regret, even if 1 start over, it will be difficult to make up for it.”

Pei Huoyu asked in a low voice, “Are they that important?”

“They're very important.” Shen Ping was still smiling, but his voice became even more determined. “They are already an indispensable part of my life.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Huoyu's heart skipped a beat. She could tell that Shen Ping's words came from the bottom of his heart. In this cruel cultivation world, even Dao-companions found it difficult to trust each other. There were countless people who turned against each other for benefits. Cultivators like Shen Ping were indeed rare.

One had to know that with his current status, as long as he had the thought of marrying a Dao companion, countless beautiful Golden Core cultivators would take the initiative to come to his door. However, he still maintained his original intention in the face of such a choice. It was really commendable.

Pei Huoyu did not know whether to say that Shen Ping was stupid or that he valued relationships.

However, she knew that if it was her Master or Senior Brother who was here, they would definitely not agree to this method. She similarly didn't agree, but at this moment, a trace of emotion that was difficult to suppress surged out from the depths of her heart.

“Fellow Daoist Shen is indeed an extraordinary Talisman Master.” A trace of gentleness appeared on Pei Huoyu's valiant face. She seemed to have lost control and took a few steps forward. Her red lips were like a dragonfly touching the water as she kissed the corner of his broad face.

Then, her figure disappeared from the stone pavilion. However, an ethereal voice sounded in Shen Ping's ears. “The conditions of the top ten of the Glory Ranking still count. In addition, if Fellow Daoist Shen enters the top ten of the Glory Ranking every half a year.. I will agree to one of your requests!”
