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

After the cultivators from the human and demon tribes returned to their tribes, they immediately caused a commotion.

These people have lived for countless years, and they all have a few friends. They also have their own social circles.

When they learned that their good friend who had been stuck in a bottleneck for many years had made great progress in cultivation after just disappearing for a few years, they were all shocked and envious. Then they spread the news to other people in their own small circle.

As the word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, people soon knew that the entire human and demon races suddenly had hundreds of more combined cultivators, which was twice as many as the accumulation of tens of thousands of years before, and those in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm had several times more.

Everyone who heard the news was envious, jealous and resentful, hating themselves for not being able to obtain a place as a disciple of the Mahayana ancestor.

But it was too late to say anything at this point, and after a while of cursing, it ended there.

All those who returned from Guanghan Realm swore an oath by their inner demons that they must not mention any information about this operation.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, many people chose to go into seclusion as soon as they returned.

The demon kings and human emperors no longer organized people to expand their territory, and the fighting and killing within the two tribes was reduced by more than half.

The monks who have nothing to do naturally focus on experience or cultivation.

In this way, after a few years of turmoil caused by the sudden increase in the strength of the human and demon races, it gradually subsided, and peace slowly returned to the two races.

Under the intentional or unintentional guidance of the higher-ups, the monks ushered in a climax in their cultivation.

Against this background, some top-level cultivation techniques and various amazing magical skills began to spread among the human race at some unknown time.

In addition, some rare treasures that were originally only seen in rumors have also begun to appear frequently in human areas.

With such stimulation, not only did a group of high-level human practitioners who were stuck at the bottleneck succeed in advancing in a very short time.

Many people have made great progress in their cultivation or greatly increased their strength since then.

Among the younger generations who have recently started practicing, there are some talented practitioners with special physiques, which have caused many forces to fight for them.

As for the demon clan, some new skills, magical powers, elixirs and treasures also flowed into this clan from the human race, which benefited them greatly as well. Their own strength also expanded rapidly.

However, if someone carefully investigates, they will find that the source of all changes comes from the same place.

No matter whether it was the top-level skills and magical powers, or those extremely rare treasures and elixirs, they all first flowed out quietly from the area near the Brahma Palace, and then appeared in other areas without anyone noticing, thus allowing the strength of the two races to increase rapidly at a terrifying speed.

……

The spirit race is a relatively special race in the spirit world. Most of them are creatures who have achieved success in cultivation after gaining access to spiritual objects.

The population is very sparse, but the combined strength is extremely strong. In addition, the strength shown by the Spirit Kings of all generations is extremely strong, so they used to occupy a large territory in the northwest of Fengyuan Continent, and their overall strength has long been superior to that of the human and demon races.

There have been many conflicts with the human and demon races in the past, both sides have suffered losses, and Japan has a slight advantage overall.

Of course, when faced with huge external risks, the spirits and demons would choose to cooperate. For example, to deal with a matter of life and death like the invasion of the demon world, several nearby tribes united.

However, in the past few hundred years, due to the emergence of Ye Ming in the human race, several nearby races have either been licking the human race, calling themselves an alliance with the human race, but in fact they are dependent on the human race; or they have abandoned their original territories and moved away to find other places to live.

The elves also have a good relationship with the human race, but they only maintain basic politeness and there is very little interaction between the two races.

Fuling Mountain, located in the center of the Eldar territory, is the holy place of the entire Eldar race.

In this mountain lives the "Spirit King" who enjoys supreme prestige among the spirits, as well as some holy guards who swear never to leave this mountain.

According to the elves' prohibitions, the area within 30,000 miles of this mountain is designated as a restricted area, and elves below the level of fusion are strictly prohibited from approaching.

Beings above the fusion level are not allowed to enter the upper part of Fuling Mountain without the personal instruction of the Spirit King, and can only stay in the part below the mountainside for a short time.

In recent years, the Spirit King announced that he would practice a mysterious skill in seclusion, and handed over the affairs of the clan to several trusted holy spirits under his seat. He then completely closed the entire holy land and no longer saw anyone from the outside.

So no one has set foot on the mountain for many years.

On this day, above Fuling Mountain, there was a sudden explosion like a tearing sound, and a violent spatial fluctuation appeared in the void. Then, the figure of a young man in white clothes flashed out silently.

This sudden change caused layers of restrictions to appear in the Fuling Mountain below. There was immediate chaos, and countless figures rose into the air from all parts of the mountain and flew towards where the young man was.

But the young man turned a blind eye to everything below him. Instead, he glanced at them calmly and said loudly without any emotion:

"Fellow Daoist Ling Wang, I am here to visit you and hope you can come out and see me."

This young man was Ye Ming! Not long after he came back from Guanghan Realm, he quietly left the human race and came here.

Although the voice he spoke was ordinary, it echoed over the entire Fuling Mountain and contained some kind of great magical power. When the Holy Guards of the Spirit Clan who had risen into the air below heard it, they trembled and fell from the air.

The other several holy spirits who had not ascended into the air also felt their magic power condense the moment they heard Ye Ming's voice, and most of them stopped functioning. Everyone's expression changed drastically.

Just as everyone was in a panic, an unusually old man's voice finally rang out from Fuling Mountain:
"It turns out that it is Fellow Daoist Ye who has come to visit. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please come in, Fellow Daoist!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the restriction on the top of Fuling Mountain surged and split to both sides, revealing a passage wide enough for one person to pass through.

Seeing this, Ye Ming smiled slightly, moved his body and turned into a green rainbow, and disappeared directly into it.

On a huge platform at the top of Fuling Mountain, an old man in a white robe was standing at the door of a hall with a solemn expression, looking up at the sky ahead.

A golden light flashed in the air, and Ye Ming appeared in front of the old man like a ghost.

Seeing this, the old man in white robes' pupils shrank slightly, but a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a cupped hand:
"I am Ling Wang, and I am honored to meet Fellow Daoist Ye! His magical powers are indeed unfathomable. He is worthy of being the one who terrorizes all nearby realms!"

"Brother Ling Wang, you are too polite. The reputation of being feared by all the worlds is just an empty title. Besides, this empty title is not necessarily a good thing for people like us." Ye Ming said politely.

"Haha, no matter what, it is an honor for our clan that Fellow Daoist Ye can come to this old man's place. Please come in!" The old man in white robe smiled heartily and invited Ye Ming to enter the hall. "Please come in, Fellow Daoist!"

The interior of the hall is quite spacious, able to accommodate at least a thousand people. Oil lamps are hung on the surrounding walls, and the flickering lights cast shadows of objects.

After the warm reception, the Spirit King said to Ye Ming: "I have been in spiritual contact with Daoist Fellow Ye for a long time, but unfortunately I have never been able to meet him. Last time, Daoist Fellow sent an avatar to help me a lot. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank Daoist Fellow, but unfortunately I have been busy with important matters recently and cannot leave here in a short time. Otherwise, I would have visited Daoist Fellow in the human race a long time ago."

"Brother Ling, you are too polite. It's just a small favor. I hope my avatar won't cause you any trouble."

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Ye, you are joking. Not only is your incarnation as powerful as ours, but its strength is far beyond that of others of the same level. I really admire you. I wonder what brings you here today? If there is anything I can do, just let me know. I will definitely help you with all my strength."

"Haha, it's actually not a big deal. I came here this time just to ask Brother Ling about someone." Ye Ming asked frankly.

"Looking for someone? Who do you need to look for, and why do you find me here?" The Spirit King frowned.

"Brother Ling, do you recognize this thing?"

Ye Ming didn't say much, he just shook his sleeves, and immediately something flew straight towards the Spirit King.

King Ling moved one of his arms slightly and caught the flying object in his hand. When he spread it out, he saw that it was a somewhat broken jade token.

When the Spirit King sensed the aura on the jade token, his face suddenly changed.

"It seems that Brother Ling has recognized the owner of this fate plate." Ye Ming said without surprise.

The Spirit King's expression changed for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye got this life card from that descending True Immortal, right? Fellow Daoist Ye has never come to me for so many years, and I thought that True Immortal had nothing to do with this person, but I didn't expect that after hundreds of years, Fellow Daoist Ye would finally come to me with it."

"So, this person is really here with Brother Ling!" Ye Ming nodded.

"Fellow Daoist, just follow me and you will know the answer." The Spiritual King seemed to have made up his mind. After throwing the life plate back to Ye Ming, he turned around and walked directly into the hall.

Ye Ming raised the corner of his mouth slightly and followed without hesitation.

After a cup of tea, the two arrived at a mysterious underground space.

When Ye Ming stood in front of a crystal ice peak and saw a handsome young man sealed at the bottom of the mountain, his expression became strange.

"This is Brother Skeleton! The benefactor of my cultivation career?"

The Spirit King looked at Ye Ming strangely, but didn't say much. He made a hand gesture and pointed at the ice peak. Immediately, a magic spell flashed and disappeared into it.

As a result, after a moment, countless white spots of light emerged from the ice wall of the mountain. After condensing, they turned into a white little man with the same face as the Spirit King.

As soon as the white little man appeared, his body shook and turned into a ball of white light that shot towards the old man in white robe. After a flash, he silently disappeared into his body and disappeared.

The old man in white robe leaned back slightly and immediately burst out with an extremely powerful aura, which was in no way inferior to the top masters from all walks of life that Ye Ming had seen.

"So this is the real Brother Ling Wang. No wonder he has the strength to suppress this immortal here. It seems that the rumors in the outside world about fellow Taoist are all about the same person, and they are not all nonsense." Ye Ming looked at this scene and said thoughtfully.

"I am not in a position to tell you about my origins in detail, Fellow Daoist Ye. The fact is that I have never touched any of your human race." The Spirit King shook his head, being very secretive about his origins.

"That's true." Ye Ming certainly knew that although the Spirit King had lived for millions of years, he had almost never taken the initiative to make enemies with the human race.

The Spirit King then withdrew his aura and asked Ye Ming with a serious look, "Brother Ye was able to learn the whereabouts of this immortal from the descending true immortal, which means that he must have some great secrets, otherwise why would the immortal world be willing to send people to find him. Now that Brother Ye has seen him in person, I wonder what your plans are?"

"No matter what secrets this person has, since it involves the fairy world, Ye will naturally not seek trouble for himself, so it is better to get rid of him completely to prevent future troubles!" Ye Ming said lightly.

"Brother Ye is planning to kill him, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to fulfill your wish. If it were really that easy, I wouldn't have to use the sealing method to suppress him here, and use my own life fire to refine his immortal body." The Spirit King's eyes flashed, and he shook his head and replied.

"Hehe, didn't I kill that true immortal named Ma Liang? How difficult is it to deal with this immortal who can't fight back?" Ye Ming smiled indifferently.

Seeing Ye Ming being so arrogant, the Spirit King frowned and explained, "This is completely different. Brother Ye, you don't know that after the True Immortal you killed descended into our Spirit World, he was suppressed by the power of the interface law. Most of his mana and body were used to fight against the omnipresent interface power, and he could not exert the true power of the True Immortal body.

The immortal I suppressed had already changed his body in the spirit world, and I don’t know what kind of immortal secret method he practiced to seal his magic power, body and soul into one. I’m afraid his body is much stronger than most of the immortals in the true immortal world.”

"There is such a thing. However, I, Ye, am not a talented person. I have also practiced some secret techniques of the immortal world, so I would like to give it a try. But before that, I want to see if I can search his soul." Ye Ming was slightly stunned, but still said confidently.

"Brother Ye, if you have a way to kill him, I would be happy to see it happen. But if you want to search his soul, unless your spiritual power is stronger than that of this immortal, there is no chance of success." The Spirit King's eyes lit up at first, and then he looked at Ye Ming with some doubt.

"How can we know it won't work if we don't try? Brother Ling, please open the restrictions a little to make it easier for me to search his soul." Ye Ming insisted.

The Spirit King stared at Ye Ming for a long while, carefully recalled the information about Ye Ming, and then nodded slowly, "I hope you can really do this, otherwise, my thousand years of hard work will be wasted, and I will have to start all over again with my life fire to refine it."

After saying this, the Spirit King quickly made several hand gestures, and countless white lights emerged from his hands, circling and then sinking into the ice wall.

After a sharp friction sound, a vortex strangely emerged on the ice wall in front of him. It was only a few feet in size, but it emitted a strong spatial fluctuation.

"rise!"

Following a low shout from the Spirit King, the handsome young man inside the ice wall slowly moved outwards.

His head is facing outwards, his feet are facing inwards, and his eyes are closed, as if he is sleeping.

When the man's head was less than three inches from the ice surface, his entire body stopped moving.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, wait for me to cast a spell and then search his soul through the magic circle. If he is allowed to move out again, I will not be able to control him." The Spirit King said with a very serious expression.

Just when Ye Ming was about to say something, the handsome young man's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
