Mortal: Fight monsters and upgrade, I will enjoy immortality!

However, these purple-gold lightning that made countless Mahayana monks extremely fearful and cautious to deal with struck the thunder beast, but the thunder beast seemed to be fine and there was no obvious impact. Instead, it flew and wandered comfortably in the air.

Soon, the thunder beast penetrated the clouds and came under the dark clouds. With the flapping of its four wings, it moved quickly, catching most of the purple-gold thunder balls that fell from the dark clouds.

This means that Qing Yuanzi below only needs to deal with a small number of thunder balls.

When Qing Yuanzi saw this scene, he was stunned and couldn't believe it at first, but then he was overjoyed. After a long roar, he quickly pinched the magic formula with both hands, driving the thousand-foot-long green giant sword to hit the falling purple-gold thunder ball.

"Rumble..."

The few thunder balls were quickly swept away by Qing Yuanzi's attack.

He even stood up from the mat, and when he had time, he bowed in the direction of Ye Ming and said thank you.

Ye Ming smiled slightly at this, then waved his hand, and a golden light flashed by and disappeared into his sleeves.

"Where did you get this helper from?" With a flash of silver light, Bing Feng returned to Ye Ming, looked at the disappearing golden light, and asked curiously.

"Hehe, guess?" Ye Ming laughed and played with the three storage bracelets he had just picked up.

"What is there to guess? Aren't they just your three gold-eating bugs that have advanced to become the insect kings?" Baohua's indignant voice sounded beside him:
"I really don't know how your luck is so incredible. It's fine that you are extremely powerful, but even your spirit beasts, spirit insects, and incarnations are ridiculously strong. The key is not just one, but several. Anyone who becomes your enemy would be the greatest misfortune in the world!"

"Hahaha, you are jealous." Ye Ming laughed happily.

"The Gold-Eating Bug King, feared by True Immortals..." Bing Feng murmured a few times, his eyes full of disbelief.

"So, this is your real purpose of killing the mother of stem borers!" Baohua pieced together the events that took place before and after, and now she finally confirmed the purpose of what Ye Ming did.

Ye Ming flashed and appeared beside Baohua. He put his arms around her slender waist and said with a smile:

"The main reason for killing the mother of borers is to get your heart and save your demon world. Everything else is secondary. Here, there are many good things in this storage bracelet. I'll give it to you. It just so happens that you caught this person."

As Ye Ming spoke, he stuffed a storage bracelet into Baohua's hand and squeezed her jade hand. This storage bracelet was exactly the one on Huang Yuanzi.

"Hey, that's so corny!" Bingfeng got goosebumps as she watched.

"Feng'er, you get a share too!" Ye Ming raised his hand slightly and threw the storage bracelet of Taoist Sanquan to Bing Feng.

The woman didn't hesitate to take the storage bracelet and immediately used her spiritual power to check it.

"What are you doing? There are outsiders here!" Baohua was very uncomfortable being hugged by Ye Ming in public. She twisted her body and broke free from Ye Ming's arms like a loach, and took the storage bracelet to the other side to check.

Ye Ming didn't care. He smiled and started chatting with Yanli again: "Miss Yan, since you came to the spirit world, you haven't gone out to see the scenery outside, right? Do you want to go out and take a look?"

"Are you willing to take me out?" Yanli suppressed the shock in her heart and asked in surprise.

"Of course!"

The next period of time was spent chatting and waiting...

With the addition of the thunder beast, Qing Yuanzi's subsequent tribulation process became extremely easy, until the last thunder ball the size of a house was smashed into pieces by the thunder beast's punch and most of the lightning power was absorbed, and the thunder tribulation finally ended.

At this point, the great catastrophe was completely over.

The dark clouds in the sky quickly dissipated, leaving only the devastated and ruined valley.

When he looked up, he saw Ye Ming and Bing Feng and a few others standing on a mountain peak at the edge of the valley.

Qing Yuanzi waved his sleeves, a green light flashed, and after rolling up Yuan Yao, he disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, when the two appeared again, they were standing opposite Ye Ming.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, thank you for killing the powerful enemy for me and helping me survive the thunder tribulation! I am grateful forever." Qing Yuanzi clasped his fists towards Ye Ming and bowed deeply.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, there's no need to be so formal. This is just a piece of cake for me. Besides, you have helped me a lot before, and this is what I should do." Ye Ming stretched out his hand to support him, saying nonchalantly.

"Hahaha, I survived this disaster easily, and my life span can be extended by thousands of years. With this much time, maybe I can make further progress, and then I can hope to achieve immortality!"

Qing Yuanzi was still immersed in great joy and was extremely excited. After he finished speaking, he saw Ye Ming looking at his side.

He was slightly stunned, then immediately understood, and then tactfully stopped talking. Then he turned his eyes and slowly flew towards Baohua and Bingfeng, thanking the two girls.

Yuan Yao stared at Ye Ming infatuatedly for a long time before she moved and threw herself into Ye Ming's arms.

"Husband, I can finally see you again!"

"Well, although I came a little late, fortunately I arrived in time and didn't let you suffer any grievances." Ye Ming stroked Yuan Yao's soft hair and said softly.

Yuan Yao hugged Ye Ming's waist tightly without saying another word, but this warm scene was more powerful than words.

An hour later, several people returned to Qing Yuanzi's secluded place.

After some polite conversation, Ye Ming said what he had been thinking about for a long time: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, since your great calamity has passed, have you considered returning to the human race?"

Qing Yuanzi's strength is considered to be relatively strong among the Mahayana cultivators, and he has extremely wide range of interests and knows too many good things. If he can return to the human race, the strength of the entire race will be able to rise to a higher level.

Inviting this person to return to the human race is an important purpose of Ye Ming's trip. The foundation of the human and demon races is still too shallow. Apart from him, there are only four Mahayana cultivators, which is far from enough.

Before he came to the Feiling tribe, he specifically asked about Han Li and learned that the old demon had already contacted the Xu family and had set out to look for the Bingpo Fairy.

If they wait for the return of the Ice Soul Fairy, the foundation of the human and demon races will be enriched. However, this is only temporary, because Ao Xiao and Qing Yuanzi still have to rely on Ye Ming's thunder beast to survive the future tribulations. As long as Ye Ming is gone, the two can only live for a few thousand years at most.

As for Old Demon Han, who has practiced the art of refining the soul, he will definitely find a way to ascend to the fairyland as soon as possible and will not stay in the spirit world for long.

Therefore, if we want the long-term development of both the human and demon races, we must cultivate more young Mahayana monks.

But that’s all later. For now, let’s call Qing Yuanzi back first.

"Returning to the human race, but my Changyuan clan body..." Qing Yuanzi fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Ye Ming continued, "Although you are now a member of the Chang Yuan clan, judging from the fact that Huang Yuanzi hired someone to kill him to seek revenge, the Chang Yuan clan no longer considers you a member, so why don't you return to the human race?

If you want to cultivate, there are many suitable places in the human race. If you want to travel, both the human and demon races are also expanding their territories. You can roam the vast wild world. Even if you want to play in a different world, I will accompany you. How is it not better than now?"

"Okay! I will carefully consider your suggestion. But I still have some things to deal with here. After I finish them, I will go back to the human race." After Qing Yuanzi thought about it carefully, he basically agreed with Ye Ming's invitation.

"Haha, Brother Jiang, what do you think of my spirit beast?"

"Are you talking about the strange spirit beast that can devour lightning?"

"Of course it's this thunder beast."

"Thunder Beast... this name is quite appropriate. This beast should be a species from heaven and earth. It seems to be born with the ability to absorb all kinds of lightning power and refine it for its own use, right?"

"Indeed, the most important thing is that it can help others survive the great heavenly tribulation. There are many forms of heavenly tribulation, but the most destructive and powerful one is the thunder tribulation. If you have the help of my thunder beast, it will be easy for you to survive a few more great heavenly tribulations."

"Okay! I agree to go back to the human race with you." Qing Yuanzi said without hesitation when he heard this. For him, time is life, and nothing is more important than the promise of the next few great heavenly tribulations.

"Haha, Brother Jiang made a wise choice." Ye Ming smiled.

Speaking of spiritual beasts, Qing Yuanzi suddenly remembered something and asked solemnly, "Oh, by the way, when I was overcoming the tribulation, I was distracted and saw a purple-golden little man outside the valley activating several kinds of extremely sharp sword energy, and he killed the Immortal Heavenly Venerable and the Taoist Sanquan with ease. I am quite familiar with the aura of this little man, but I don't know where he came from. Can you teach me something?"

The scene of Jintong displaying his divine power outside the valley was extremely shocking to Qing Yuanzi.

"Haha, since Brother Daoist Jiang asked this, it seems that you should have guessed it a little bit." Ye Ming replied without comment.

"Could it really be the Gold-Eating Insect King? You actually cultivated it... Yes, only this Insect King can kill ordinary Mahayana cultivators like killing chickens and dogs. The Insect King's reputation is comparable to that of a True Immortal, and it is indeed not false. But I don't know how fellow Daoist did it?" Even though Qing Yuanzi had already expected this in his heart, he couldn't help but speak out loud and his face changed several times.

"I was lucky to be able to breed the Insect King. If I were to use the same steps and techniques to breed another one, it would probably be impossible to succeed.

Speaking of which, Brother Jiang paid me first to learn the secret technique of cultivating the Insect King, which helped me a lot. If not, I would have no chance of cultivating the Insect King. Here, I would like to thank Brother Jiang!" Ye Ming smiled slightly and thanked Qing Yuanzi with a fist.

"It was just a simple effort on my part back then, but I didn't expect that fellow Daoist would actually cultivate such a heaven-defying spiritual insect. You are indeed a man with great opportunity. With the assistance of this insect king and that thunder beast, fellow Daoist will be able to roam the entire spiritual world without worry. Of course, fellow Daoist Feng and fellow Daoist Baohua are also very powerful, and they even have the Xuantian treasure on them. I admit that I am far inferior to them." Qing Yuanzi smiled bitterly, not hiding his envy at all.

"Traveling across the spiritual world, hehe..." Ye Ming smiled slightly and said nothing.

"Brother Daoist Jiang, you are too kind. We only rely on the sharpness of our magic weapons." Baohua and Bingfeng looked at each other secretly and said modestly.

"By the way, I am quite curious about the Gold-Eating Bug King. Fellow Daoist Ye, could you summon it out so that I can see it?" Qing Yuanzi did not hide his curiosity.

"Why not?" Ye Ming waved his sleeves.

A golden light circled in the hall, and then landed on Ye Ming's shoulder, revealing a purple-gold figure about a foot tall. With his crystal eyes, he casually looked around.

"This is the Gold Devouring Bug King..."

This time, not only Qing Yuanzi, but also Baohua, Bingfeng, Yuanyao and others stared at Jintong intently.

After everyone had seen enough, Ye Ming took Jin Tong away.

Qing Yuanzi withdrew his gaze with a hint of regret, and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, although I promised to return to the human race, I'm afraid I can't do that now. I need to stay here for at least two or three hundred years."

"Oh, why is that?" Ye Ming was stunned.

Qing Yuanzi looked at Yuan Yao and Yan Li, "Yao'er and Li'er, one is my adopted daughter, and the other is my disciple. Since coming to the spirit world, they have never seen the outside world except the Earth Abyss and this space. I also want to take them out for a walk earlier, but it is not possible at the moment."

"But is it because of their physical bodies?"

Ye Ming's face changed, and his eyes flashed blue as he carefully observed Yuan Yao and Yan Li. When he hugged Yuan Yao outside, he really didn't notice that there was anything wrong with it, but now he saw that something was wrong.

"Let them talk about this matter themselves. This involves the freedom of both of them. It would not be good if I say too much." Qing Yuanzi said after nodding slowly.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao took over the conversation, "My husband, although my foster father spent a huge price to transform my and my senior sister's bodies into human bodies, because we have been half-ghosts for too long, this transformation has not yet been completely thorough.

Although my body seems to be fine now, it is still a little unstable. I need to take two kinds of spiritual objects unique to the Styx to consolidate it. It is estimated that it will take two to three hundred years. Although I also want to go out with you now, in order to avoid future troubles, I have to stay here for the time being. "

"Two to three hundred years..." Ye Ming pondered for a moment, then his expression eased and he said, "In that case, you should stay here for now. For cultivators like us, this amount of time is just a blink of an eye."

"Haha, don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ye. Yao'er is here with me to teach her carefully. I can lay a solid foundation for her cultivation at this stage. With her extraordinary talent, it is very likely that she will go a step further and become someone like you and me. As for Li'er, although she does not have such talent, if you and I cultivate her together, the chances are not small."

When Qing Yuanzi mentioned Yanli, he winked at Ye Ming.

"Really? Do we also have the opportunity to become Mahayana monks?" Yuan Yao and Yan Li asked with joy and anticipation after hearing this.
