"Didn't you want to go out for a while? Now you have the chance."

Chief Steward Shen said, "We need someone to take a trip into Jade Silkworm Valley. You'll pretend to be a Loose Cultivator, stay there for some time, draw the terrain you see, and also take note of the people you meet."

"Are you planning to make a move on Jade Silkworm Valley?"

Shen Wang was surprised. These people were currently dealing with the Celestial Travel Sect, yet they still had the capacity to target Jade Silkworm Valley. Their strength was indeed formidable.

"Shen Wang, while doing things here, don't ask unnecessary questions. Just listen to orders obediently."

Chief Steward Shen said with deep meaning.

"Yes."

Shen Wang realized he was being a bit talkative and didn't say anymore.

"You can set off alone now."

Chief Steward Shen said.

"Alright."

Shen Wang nodded.

"Your family members are being held to mine at the mines. If they perform well, they can be redeemed."

Chief Steward Shen suddenly added.

Shen Wang understood this was telling him to behave when outside and not to think about running away.

He didn't have any thoughts of escaping for now and responded calmly.

He went back and said a word to the eight women, thought of some things, left behind a Communication Talisman, and then flew off the Dragon Ship.

He glanced back, sensing the Sun God-Banning Curse left in him. This thing not only restricted him but could also temporarily protect him.

Only when he had enough strength to resolve it would he consider escaping.

"There are quite a few strong individuals on this ship. Wanting to escape, even early to mid-stage Golden Core might not be enough."

Shen Wang thought for a moment and approached Jade Silkworm Valley seemingly unintentionally.

Having distanced himself from the Dragon Ship, Shen Wang didn't hurry to contact Zheng Yunshu but instead pretended to be someone seeking medicine as he came to Jade Silkworm Valley.

After not coming for a few years, the place remained the same, and Shen Wang approached it with the same demeanor as before.

This time, before anyone reprimanded him, Shen Wang stopped a distance away from the array, stated his intention, and mentioned that he knew Steward Gui Xiang.

Having an acquaintance indeed made things much easier. Soon, an old man came out, saw Shen Wang, and exclaimed, "It's you again, still looking to detoxify?"

"Prepared to give it a try."

Shen Wang smiled.

"Then you might have to wait, Elder Molan is currently in secluded cultivation."

Gui Xiang shook his head.

"I'm willing to wait."

Shen Wang stayed in the valley as a guest, only allowed to stay for seven days, after which he could apply to stay longer.

After settling down in the room, Shen Wang finally took out the Communication Talisman.

This was the guest accommodation area; communication was a given, and he wasn't afraid of being discovered by anyone.

Activating the Sound Transmission Talisman, he contacted Zheng Yunshu, mentioning that he had some matters and couldn't return in the short term.

He pondered for a moment and then sent a message to his inexpensive master Liu Da Rong, not hiding his encounters and stating his current situation, just in case this old man had a way to solve his predicament.

Soon, Liu Da Rong sent back a Sound Transmission Talisman: "As long as you're not dead, that's good. Now prioritize staying alive. I will find a solution for you."

The two then left a Sound Transmission Talisman for each other, and after speaking, temporarily ceased communication.

Shen Wang, having nothing else to do, started researching the Sun God-Banning Curse.

A golden mana web locked his meridians, part of his Dantian, and Sea of Consciousness. These are crucial points for a Cultivator. If damaged, at worst, they become useless; at best, they could be lethal.

"This thing is a whole; triggering one part will affect the others. It must be destroyed in one swoop."

Shen Wang contemplated, "The best way is to overpower it with sheer force. As long as my strength surpasses it, I can eradicate it in one go."

He thought of one method, which was to wait for the birth of a child, and during the rapid breakthrough in cultivation, this thing wouldn't be able to trap him.

"The eight women should almost be all pregnant. As long as I slightly interfere, and they give birth at the same time, wouldn't combining eight Small Realms possibly elevate me to the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Shen Wang opened his eyes, full of thought: "It's hard to say, after all, previously it was enhancing the Small Realm, the Large Realm might have other changes, just like the situation when breaking through to Foundation Establishment..."

He began considering the principles of Core Formation. This step required not only purifying Primordial Power to a solid state but most importantly, merging Essence, Qi, and Spirit to give birth to mana, allowing the condensation of a Golden Core.

It encompasses three steps: the enhancement of cultivation, the fusion of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and the qualitative change of Primordial Power.

If these three steps all count as a Small Realm, then the entire system could possibly burst through directly.

"We will soon find out."

Shen Wang exhaled, ironically realizing that his biggest reliance now was his children.

Were it not for the fear of arousing suspicion by too rapidly enhancing his cultivation from marrying so many women, he'd likely have recklessly taken more wives.

"Hold back, don't lose control. I'm only doing this to escape the predicament now, and when unnecessary, no one should realize my cultivation is advancing so swiftly."

Shen Wang reminded himself he's not the most powerful in this world. Standing out too much would naturally draw attention,

Even before, Profound Thunder Zhenren had his eye on him, who knows if next time it would attract the interest of a Nascent Soul Old Monster.

Thinking about this made Shen Wang hesitant to hastily break the Sun God-Banning Curse and consider more secure solutions.

After a long time, he collected his thoughts, adjusted his status, and continued cultivating.

He occasionally went out for a walk but only within the guest area, not venturing around.

[Your daughter Shen Chuxue has broken through to the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation. The passive effect of Longevity Species is activated, and you've gained the equivalent cultivation, automatically converted to your normal cultivation.]

While Shen Wang was hiding in Jade Silkworm Valley, there was another breakthrough on his daughter's side.

Shen Wang could only sigh; Xue'Er's talent was outstanding. She probably wouldn't take more than a few months to reach Foundation Establishment.

[Your daughter Shen Chuxue's array level has reached Array King Level, and the passive effect of Longevity Species is activated, you have reached Array King Level.]

Within two days, my daughter's skills improved again, this time in formations.

Shen Wang was taken aback. When he left, he asked Zheng Yunshu to teach his daughter formations, and in no time she's reached the level of an Array King.

You should know that even with system rewards and regular study, I'm only at the Grandmaster level now.

My daughter casually practices for a few days and she's at the Array King level.

This is a real powerhouse.

"Maybe it won't be long before my daughter's level reaches Array Emperor..."

Shen Wang felt a bit strange, how did I end up with another trump card without realizing it?

If she becomes an Array Emperor, he won't even fear the formations on the Dragon Ship, he might even secretly alter them.

Shen Wang could only feel that every cloud has a silver lining, and he felt much lighter at once.

"Why worry. Even if no more children are born, my eldest daughter can take me to fly."

Shen Wang thought smugly, got up, went out to the tavern in the valley, and ordered good dishes and wine to reward himself for the repressed life he has been leading.

While he was happily thinking, he caught sight of a group of cultivators outside, and one of them made him quickly turn his head.

The people walking by were in a hurry and didn't pay much attention to him, but Shen Wang frowned: "Yun Lingshu? Why is she back here?"

At this moment, someone came over and sat in front of him.

This person was a woman, ordinary in appearance and seemed quite unremarkable.

"You're the first to dare to sneak onto someone else's territory with your true face."

The woman spoke.

"Who are you?"

Shen Wang only felt that her eyes looked familiar,

"Silver Moon."

The woman said flatly.

"Ah, it's you?"

Shen Wang immediately recognized her, his mouth twitched. This woman chased him all the way with a sword, and he had even thought of luring her to Kunyu Mountain to get rid of her at the time.

"What's so frightening, you think I can't get in here?"

Silver Moon said calmly, "Tonight, follow my arrangements."

"No, I'm not your subordinate."

Shen Wang still felt a bit resentful towards this woman. If he hadn't been cornered by her then, perhaps he wouldn't have been discovered by the Sixth Prince.

Silver Moon didn't expect Shen Wang to dare refuse her. Her eyebrows twitched: "I can contact Song Huirui right now, see if he'll make you listen to me."

"Who are you that Song Huirui would listen to you?"

Shen Wang was suspicious, thinking this woman was bluffing him.

"I'm his sister! Is that enough?"

The woman gritted her teeth, very dissatisfied with Shen Wang's attitude.

Shen Wang was even more skeptical: "So you're a princess, huh? That's fake, a princess doing such hard work? Look at how carefree the princes are."

Silver Moon clenched her fists: "If we weren't here, I'd definitely beat you up."

"At most, you can suppress me, but you can't beat me." Shen Wang sneered.

Silver Moon thought she had a good temper, but now she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, and said in a low voice: "There are hundreds of princes and princesses in the Sun and Moon Dynasty, do you think each one has the top talent and gets the best resources? Even if there are, there will be differences in treatment between men and women."

"Oh, so your talent is a bit worse, so you ended up doing chores."

Shen Wang realized: "I'll reluctantly trust you this time."

Silver Moon glared at Shen Wang, her fists clenched tightly. She was quite high-ranking, and no one had ever dared to treat her like this.

"What are you looking at, have you fallen for me? Even if you're a princess, I won't be your prince consort. You'll have to marry down to me."

Shen Wang chuckled.

Silver Moon's face twitched at his words, she took a deep breath and quickly calmed herself down.

"Don't bother trying to provoke me, I won't get angry over someone like you."

Silver Moon was not an ordinary person, swiftly suppressing her anger.

"I'm not trying on purpose; I'm just speaking normally. You could think I'm flirting with you."

Shen Wang said with a smile, "I'm serious, you are beautiful, and your cultivation level is not bad, I do have some thoughts."

"In your dreams, aren't eight women enough for you?"

Silver Moon snorted coldly.

"Not enough, I'm shouldering the responsibility of revitalizing the family, I definitely need to marry more and have more children. I'm not saying I need three thousand beauties like your father, but at least three hundred, right?"

Shen Wang said calmly. His system encourages him to marry and have children; certainly, the more the better.

Silver Moon helplessly realized she couldn't win against this thick-skinned guy, so she got up: "I can't be bothered to talk much with you, just listen to me next."

"What are you leaving for? Sit down and eat, aren't you afraid of others suspecting?"

Shen Wang pointed to the seat.

Silver Moon snorted. Although she spoke to shield the sound, their actions could be seen from outside. The two had no prior interaction, and meeting now and just saying a few words indeed looked like a secret meeting with code words.

She sat down again: "Your mood seems pretty good, what, you don't care about the three hundred tribe members of the Shen family demoted to slaves?"

"Looks like only three hundred survived, you guys were ruthless."

Shen Wang squinted his eyes.

"Where can you have a war without people dying? On the battlefield, do you attack others, or do you think of saving someone?"

Silver Moon dismissed it scornfully.
