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

The passage looked pitch black from the outside, but after walking down for dozens of feet, the direction changed and it turned a right angle, and the light suddenly became bright.

It turned out that there were two rows of moonstones inlaid on the stone wall at the top of the passage, extending forward and downward. The soft white light clearly illuminated the entire passage.

The stone walls above, below, left and right were all blue-gray in color, but their surfaces emitted a faint white light, with some complex runes flashing from time to time, and it was obvious that many formations had been arranged inside.

Ye Ming ignored this and moved quickly through the passage.

After walking for several miles, a stone gate appeared in front of them. It was about two meters high. A layer of colorful light curtain flickered on the gate. A tall iron-clad guard stood on each side, but there was no aura emanating from them.

As soon as everyone approached, the armored guard's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened and a strong aura emanated from him.

"A puppet in the fusion stage!" Tie Jun Sanren, who was walking several feet behind Wang Ning, was secretly shocked.

But Ye Ming was unmoved. He casually shot out two golden lights, which "puffed" into the colorful light curtain.

Suddenly, the spiritual light on the surface of the light curtain flowed up and down, and then suddenly the light dimmed and disappeared.

At the same time, the two armored puppets closed their eyes again, and the aura of the fusion period disappeared without a trace.

Ye Ming took a few steps forward, put his palm on the stone door and pushed it lightly. With a "boom", the stone door opened inward.

After turning a corner, a similar passage appeared in front of us.

After everyone filed in, the stone door closed automatically. A flash of light appeared on it, and the colorful light curtain reappeared on the surface of the stone door.

In this way, under the leadership of Ye Ming, everyone walked underground. There was a similar stone door every few miles.

Moreover, the further back you go, the stronger the aura of the armored guards guarding the stone gate becomes.

After an incense stick of time, the group had no idea how far they had traveled underground and finally arrived at a huge underground space.

It is at least several hundred feet long and wide, and more than a hundred feet high.

The most eye-catching thing is the central open space, where there is a platform several meters high and more than a hundred meters in diameter. It is built of huge long bluestone blocks, and is engraved with various densely packed runes. A closer look reveals that most of them are gold seal characters and silver tadpole characters.

There are eight white stone pillars built around it, on which are carved four lifelike stone dragons, and also engraved with countless gold seal characters and silver tadpole characters.

These stone carvings spiral around the stone pillars, reaching heights of dozens of feet.

At the top of the stone pillar, the stone dragon heads bent and all opened their mouths wide towards the bottom, as if making a silent roar.

There was some kind of magic circle under the stone pillar, and yellow rays of light made the stone pillar golden all over.

And around the space, there were hundreds of puppets standing densely, holding various weapons. There were both human and animal forms, but all of them exuded a powerful aura.

After a brief sense, he found that there was not a single one below the Void Refinement Stage, and there were more than a dozen in the Fusion Stage.

This could not help but shock the people of Xiaolingtian who had never seen the world. The power gathered in just one place was enough to sweep away any ethnic group in Xiaolingtian.

After walking slowly onto the platform, what came into view was a huge magic formation with a diameter of one hundred feet, which almost filled the entire platform.

Looking at the runes and shape of the magic array, it is actually a super teleportation array that can teleport across continents!

"Did you build this teleportation array? When was it built? How come I didn't know about it?" Bing Feng had taken a cross-continental teleportation array before and recognized its purpose at a glance.

"It was built by someone I asked when I came to Thunder Continent last time. At that time, you were still in seclusion to break through to the Mahayana stage. But I was also deeply involved in it. The protective magic array around here and every stone door restriction in the passage were all made by me. Including the many puppets here, they are also part of my many trophies." Ye Ming said with a smile.

"In other words, this is our unique cross-continental teleportation array!"

"Exactly!"

"Then why didn't you teleport here directly before, instead of borrowing the teleportation array of the Helian Business Alliance and the Mayfly Clan?" Bing Feng immediately remembered what happened three years ago.

"Well, I had to go there for something back then, otherwise how could I have gotten that drop of Nightmare Dragon's blood? This thing is an important support for them to advance to the Mahayana stage." After a moment of hesitation, Ye Ming said without blushing or beating his heart.

In the past few years, Ye Ming has tried to refine the blood of the Nightmare Dragon that he obtained at the auction of the Helian Business Alliance.

After refining it with the secret technique, he found that although this thing could greatly increase his cultivation, it was not like taking the Chengling Pill and Chengmo Pill, which gave him a vague sense of the laws.

Ye Ming thought about it again and again, and decided to divide this drop of Nightmare Dragon's blood into ten parts, leaving them to his woman and descendants, to provide them with greater help in their advancement to the Mahayana stage.

He had already told Bingfeng and Baohua about the relevant details of this drop of Nightmare Dragon's blood, so this is what he said now.

"Okay, I'll trust you for once." Bing Feng said doubtfully.

Ye Ming turned around and faced the cultivators coming out of Xiao Lingtian, and said calmly: "Okay, now I will take you back to the human race. This magic array can only transport a hundred people at most at a time, so we need to teleport six times. And each time the teleportation array is opened, a large amount of top-grade spirit stones will be consumed. Most cultivators in the Void Refining Stage cannot afford this amount of spirit stones. So..."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. It could be said that Patriarch Ye's care for people like them was the utmost.

Tiejun Sanren, Li Yuan and others immediately understood the meaning of Ye Ming's words, and knelt down on the ground, swearing in a sonorous and powerful voice: "We swear to be loyal to Senior Ye until death, and we are willing to swear by our inner demons that we will be at Senior Ye's command forever and ever!"

He said this willingly. Not to mention the huge amount of spirit stones needed for the teleportation, just bringing them out of Xiao Lingtian was a huge favor. It was natural for them to be loyal to Ye Ming.

Some monks who didn't react immediately knelt down and said similar words. Some even swore by their descendants and Ye Ming's future disciples.

"Get up." Ye Ming nodded with satisfaction. He brought these people out mainly because they were all human, but he didn't want to bring out a group of ungrateful people, so he gave them some appropriate advice.

Then, he raised his hand and waved it. Spirit stones emitting pure spiritual energy flew out and accurately embedded themselves into the node holes that had been reserved in advance.

Under Nangong Wan's arrangement, the people below were quickly divided into five groups, and the first group of ninety-nine people were ordered to walk onto the teleportation array in an orderly manner.

Finally, the Ice Phoenix flashed and arrived at the center of the magic circle.

After the jade hand uttered several spells, a buzzing sound arose and the magic circle lit up with a dazzling white light.

The sound and light became louder and louder, and in just a moment there was a huge roar, and a thick light column of more than ten feet rose into the sky with huge pressure. Just as it was about to hit the top stone wall, the eight stone pillars around the platform shone brightly, and with a "hum" sound, they released pieces of golden and silver light.

The light clouds rolled and surged, and instantly linked together to form a huge light curtain, like a giant bowl, with the thick light column and the magic circle upside down inside.

"Boom" was an earth-shaking loud noise.

After the seemingly powerful beam of light hit the golden and silver light screen, it was instantly broken into balls of white light and then quickly dissipated.

After the light of the entire magic circle completely dimmed, Ye Ming replaced a batch of top-grade spirit stones, and then the second group of people stood on it...

After several rounds of this, all the personnel were teleported away.

Tianmiao City, Brahma Palace.

In a palace full of restrictions, a light flashed, and Ye Ming, along with Nangong Wan and Wang Ning, were the last to appear in a huge magic circle.

"Ling'er, why are you here?"

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Ling Yuling's graceful figure, standing outside the magic circle.

"Sister Feng told me that you were coming back, so I came to see you. Sister Nangong and Sister Ning, long time no see." After Ling Yulin replied to Ye Ming, she said to Nangong Wan and Wang Ning with a smile.

The two girls put aside the discomfort caused by the teleportation and said with the same smile, "Long time no see. I didn't expect that my sister would catch up with us and her cultivation level is already ahead of us. She is already in the middle stage of fusion!"

"Don't say that, sisters. It's just a fusion. You will reach this level soon. Let's go. I will welcome you and let you enjoy the scenery of the Spiritual Palace."

Ling Yuling said as she took a few steps forward, pulling Nangong Wan and Wang Ning on the left and right and walked out, leaving Ye Ming behind.

When she reached the entrance of the palace, she said without turning her head, "An important guest has arrived in the palace and has been waiting for you for two years. Do you want to go and meet him, my husband?"

Before he could finish his words, the three women's backs had already disappeared outside the palace gate.

"Guest? Please tell me where you are." Ye Ming said loudly.

However, it was quiet outside the door, and Ling Yuling didn't seem to want to answer this question.

Ye Ming shook his head. It didn’t matter if he didn’t get the answer. This certainly wouldn’t be a problem for him.

He appeared outside the palace in a flash, then closed his eyes slightly, and swept the entire Linghuang Palace with his powerful spiritual thoughts. At the same time, his body shook, and an extremely powerful aura suddenly released.

"Ah, it's Patriarch Ye!"

"The ancestor is back..."

The cultivators in the palace who felt this aura were shocked at first, then immediately recognized that it was Ye Ming's aura, and then became excited.

Amidst the commotion, a hearty voice rang out, "Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Ye, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for so long."

In the southeast corner of the imperial palace, a red light appeared in the sky above a palace specially used to entertain distinguished guests, and a shocking rainbow shot towards Ye Ming at a high speed.

"So it's Brother Ming Dao. If you have anything to say, let's go to Tianyin Pavilion and talk." Ye Ming recognized the figure in the rainbow at a glance and said calmly. He was currently in the Brahma Palace, a core confidential place, and of course he would not let outsiders get close.

"Haha, I was too anxious and rude." Jinghong circled in the air, changed direction, and headed towards the new city south of the imperial palace.

Ye Ming smiled slightly, and flew towards that place in the same flash.

Soon, the two came to a spacious hall. The beams and pillars in the hall were made of wood struck by lightning. They could emit melodious and clear sounds that made people feel calm and peaceful when they heard them.

"Haha, has Fellow Daoist Ye discovered a new opportunity in the Thunder Continent and is hiding quietly? I asked the general manager of the Chamber of Commerce over there to look for Fellow Daoist for two years, but there is no news about you." Ming Zun said as soon as Fang entered the hall, looking very familiar.

"Haha, Ye occasionally gained something during his travels. He just retreated in a secret place for a while. There is no such thing as an opportunity." Ye Ming smiled and invited Ming Zun to sit down.

"You are too modest, my friend. You are a person with great luck. This time you must have had an epiphany. If so, your strength or cultivation can be further improved."

"Thank you for your praise, Fellow Daoist Ming. This is a spiritual fruit I accidentally got outside this time. I can guarantee that although you are the chief deacon of the Chamber of Commerce and have seen countless treasures, you have definitely never seen this kind of spiritual fruit. You may as well try it first." Ye Ming changed the subject and took out a plate of crystal-like, human-shaped berries and placed it on the table in front of Ming Zun.

"I have never seen this kind of spiritual fruit, but it is indeed delicious." After picking up one and tasting it, Ming Zun praised it highly.

"Haha, if you like, eat more."

"Oh, don't eat the spiritual fruit yet. I almost forgot that I have something important to tell you, fellow Taoist." Ming Zun slapped his thigh, as if he just remembered something, and said to Ye Ming with a serious face. At the same time, he secretly cursed Ye Ming for being so patient and not asking him the purpose of his visit.

At this point, Ye Ming finally asked with interest: "Is it important? What is it that can make the chief steward of the Chamber of Commerce waste two years here?"

"Hey, I have no choice. In order not to affect the operation of the Chamber of Commerce and to facilitate contact with other fellow Taoists, I built an ultra-long-distance teleportation array outside this city to facilitate the travel of personnel." Ming Zun complained bitterly.

"Is this true?" Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, then had some vague guesses in his mind.

Sure enough, I heard Ming Zun continue to say: "Fellow Daoist Ye, I heard that you killed an ancient borer in the Demon Realm, and your strength is comparable to that of a true immortal. Then do you know that a true immortal from the upper realm has descended on our Spirit Realm this time?"

"A true immortal! One who descended from the real immortal world?"

Ye Ming showed a surprised expression, and at the same time, he thought to himself, it seems that Ma Liang has really come to the lower world. However, without Bingfeng and Liuyi to disrupt the situation in this life, I wonder what Ma Liang will do next.

"Yes, he is a true immortal. But this true immortal did not do good things. He committed heinous crimes in our spiritual world and slaughtered dozens of races in a bloody manner, killing them all regardless of age or level of cultivation. He used the flesh and blood of these people for blood sacrifices, as if he was refining an incredible treasure." Ming Zun said in a low voice.

"Dozens of races! It's so shocking! Fellow Daoist Ming, please explain in detail." Ye Ming was secretly shocked.

When he carried out a massacre in the demon world, he only killed some saints in the Mahayana stage. It was revenge on the Sea King Clan. While killing the Mahayana cultivators, he also killed some fusion cultivators.

Compared with Ma Liang, he still felt that he was far inferior. (End of this chapter)
