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

After Ye Ming carefully sorted out the information obtained from the soul search, he rubbed his fingers together and a fiery red talisman appeared in the palm of his hand.

After whispering a few words to him, she raised her hand and threw it, and her husband turned into a beam of fire and disappeared in the secret room in a flash.

Afterwards, Ye Ming sat upright in the chair and waited quietly.

After a moment, the golden ban at the door of the secret room flashed, revealing an ordinary door, and Yuan Yao's unparalleled beautiful figure stood there.

"Husband, are you looking for me?" Yuan Yao walked into the secret room with a slight smile and sat down next to Ye Ming.

"Well, there's something I need your help with." Ye Ming stretched out his arms and embraced the beautiful woman's slender waist.

"My dear husband, just tell me whatever you want to say. There's no need for us to be polite to each other." When Yuan Yao heard this, she immediately smiled like a flower and said happily.

Over the years, Ye Ming has always been helping her. Now she is very happy to be able to help Ye Ming with something.

"Haha, to be precise, I need the help of your crying soul. I wonder how much it has grown now." Ye Ming stroked Yuan Yao's soft hair and said with a smile.

"Crying Soul? No problem." Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao immediately shook her sleeves, and a black light flashed. A black little monkey appeared while circling on the ground, with a pointed nose occupying most of its face. It was the Crying Soul Beast!

After the beast appeared, it yawned lazily, glanced around casually, and then started combing its hair.

"Yao'er, you are really amazing! Look how lazy you have made it over the years." Ye Ming was immediately amused when he saw the relaxed look of the little monkey.

"It's like this originally. How could I have raised it like this?" Yuan Yao said embarrassedly and unconvinced.

In the underworld, it was too easy to find ghosts and spirits. When the crying soul needed to grow, Yuan Yao only needed to go out and walk around a few times to find a lot of food for it.

Moreover, there was no need for the weeping soul to fight hard. It could be said that this beast had always lived a life of luxury, so it was not surprising that it had developed this kind of character.

Ye Ming stopped laughing and said, "Okay, let me see his strongest state after transformation."

"Yes! Xiao Hei, change!" Yuan Yao nodded and immediately gave an order to the little monkey.

With the connection of divine thoughts, the little black monkey instantly received Yuan Yao's order. His lazy expression disappeared, and he opened his mouth and suddenly roared. With the black light flowing on his body, his body size grew rapidly, and he suddenly turned into a black giant ape over thirty feet tall.

Then the beast's eyes flashed with blood, and its two fists suddenly became half a meter in size, and suddenly hit the black chest!
In an instant, the beast's hair stood up, strange horns grew on its head, and its fangs were exposed, and it turned into a three-eyed giant ghost.

Three black bone spurs suddenly appeared on the ghost's back, exuding an ominous aura that was extremely terrifying.

"Yes, yes, it actually has the aura of a Mahayana level. It's amazing that it can obey you." Ye Ming looked at the giant ape and nodded continuously.

"This is my limit. If my husband has anything to say, please start as soon as possible. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself later." Yuan Yao's pretty face turned pale, her teeth were clenched, and she looked extremely exhausted.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming raised his hand and a jade box covered with sealing talismans appeared in his palm.

With his other hand, he gently tapped the jade box. With a few "puff" sounds, the sealing talisman that was glowing with spiritual light fell off automatically.

Then, Ye Ming flicked his finger, gently opened the lid of the box, and took out something with a serious expression.

Yuan Yao immediately looked over and found that what Ye Ming was holding between his two fingers was a golden bubble, wrapped in a layer of almost transparent fluorescent light, and inside the bubble was a human-shaped black gas.

"This is..." Yuan Yao asked puzzledly.

"This is the spirit of the true immortal who descended into our spiritual world." Ye Ming said casually while aiming at the bubble and began to cast a spell.

"What a fairy!" Yuan Yao covered her mouth in surprise and widened her eyes.

When the Soul-Crying Beast saw the bubbles, it showed a hint of interest. But when Ye Ming cast a spell and allowed a little breath from the bubbles to leak out, two of the beast's eyes lit up and it let out an excited roar.

His body began to become restless, and he looked impatient.

"Beast of punishment!"

At this time, Ma Liang also saw clearly the appearance of the giant ghost transformed by the crying soul, and immediately let out a scream of extreme fear, and his body hit the bubbles frantically.

The outer wall of the golden bubble seemed to be only a thin layer, but it was extremely strong and could not be shaken at all no matter how hard he hit it.

At this moment, the Soul-Crying Beast could no longer hold back. It snorted from its big nose, and sprayed out a large amount of yellow mist, which rushed towards the bubble.

Ye Ming's expression slightly changed, and after a flick of his finger, the golden bubble flew towards the yellow mist and was quickly wrapped in it. Under his control, the restraining power of the bubble quickly dissipated.

Ma Liang's spirit was overjoyed, and immediately a black light flashed between his brows. He burned his soul power and used his last resort, then soared into the sky.

However, when he was about to rush out of the range of the light, the light produced an infinite suction force. Ma Liang's soul suddenly stopped and could no longer move upwards. Instead, he was quickly pulled into the mouth of the Soul-Crying Beast.

He couldn't help but struggle and shout:
"Fellow Daoist, stop it. Put away this torture beast. I am willing to be your spiritual servant and teach you all the secrets..."

"Haha, didn't you say that you have the spiritual imprint of the high-level officials of Jiuyuan Temple on your body? In that case, how dare I take you in? So, it is better for you to die completely in this world." Ye Ming said with a chuckle.

"You, you will not die well! My ancestor Jiuyuan Daozu will not let you go..." Ma Liang cursed miserably after knowing that there was no room for maneuver.

At this moment, the Soul-Crying Beast took a deep breath, and the yellow mist, along with Ma Liang's spirit, circled and flew back.

The beast opened its mouth wide and swallowed it all, then pounded its chest with its hands in joy, showing an extremely excited expression.

……

In the True Immortal Realm, above an endless sea of ​​rolling fog, hundreds of large and small mountains are densely suspended there.

The largest of these mountains is tens of thousands of feet high, while the smallest is only three or four thousand feet high. However, each of them is covered with exotic flowers and plants, and there are also some exquisite pavilions built on them.

Between the peaks, there are rainbow-like arch bridges, and from time to time, men and women in long robes and palace dresses float past. It is a scene of a fairyland in heaven.

At the moment when Ma Liang's soul was devoured by the weeping soul, an unbelievable voice came from an ancient palace on a mountain outside the central area:

"How is it possible! With Senior Brother Ma Liang's cultivation skills, how could he perish in such a small lower realm?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue light flashed at the entrance of the palace, and a tall, thin, black-faced Taoist priest appeared there out of thin air.

The Taoist priest wore an eight-diagram Taoist robe and held a silver dustpan in his hand. There was not a trace of worldly air about him.

But at this time, he looked ugly. After looking into the distance, his figure suddenly turned into a blue rainbow and shot towards the central mountain.

After just a few flashes, it disappeared among the mountains.

After a while, the black-faced Taoist priest arrived in front of a palace in the central area.

This palace is surrounded by more than a dozen mountains and looks like a huge city floating in the air.

The surface of the palace was magnificent and golden, with countless huge runes circling around the entire palace. At the gate that was like a tower over a thousand feet high, some golden armored soldiers holding weapons could be vaguely seen. There was also a silver plaque hanging high above it, with three huge golden characters "Shenxiao Palace" engraved on it.

After the black-faced Taoist priest came here, he walked inside on his own.

Among the group of golden-armored warriors standing in front of the palace gate, a warrior who seemed to have the highest status bowed slightly and asked in a dignified manner, "Greetings, Lord Li. I wonder what brings you to Shenxiao Palace?"

"Is my uncle-master in there? I have something important and need to see him immediately." The black-faced Taoist said without thinking.

"The Palace Master has been in seclusion practicing recently and will not meet with anyone easily." The soldier showed an embarrassed expression.

The black-faced Taoist priest's face darkened when he heard this. Just as he was about to say something else, suddenly an extremely majestic voice sounded in the ears of both of them at the same time.

"No need to block it, let Li Ming in."

"Yes, Palace Master! Lord Li, please come in." The soldier was startled, clasped his hands together, and quickly stepped aside to make way for the door.

The black-faced Taoist priest said nothing more. He shook his sleeves and flew straight into the gate.

He seemed to be very familiar with everything in this palace. After passing through a huge hall and walking through several corridors over a hundred feet long, his eyes suddenly lit up and a quiet palace appeared in front of him.

The courtyard in front of the palace was filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, including giant flowers of various colors as big as bowls. Two women in palace dresses wearing silver scarves stood at the door.

The two women had skin as white as jade and were graceful. Their aura was faint, yet gave people a feeling of being unfathomable.

When the black-faced Taoist saw the two women, he immediately stepped forward and said in an unusually polite manner, "Greetings, two fairies. I have something urgent to do and I'm here to see my uncle-master!"

"Thank you for being so polite, Lord Li. Please go in quickly. The palace master has been waiting inside for a long time." A woman in palace dress twisted her waist and said with a smile.

"In that case, I will go in and pay my respects to the Palace Master first." The black-faced Taoist priest bowed to the two women in palace dresses before walking into the palace.

The main hall is decorated in an unusually elegant style, with a faint fragrance lingering around the nose, making anyone who enters here feel calm and at ease.

On the inner side of the hall, a woman in purple robe sat on a spiritual chair, leisurely sipping a cup of scented tea with her head lowered, the fragrance filling her nostrils.

"Greetings, Uncle Master!" The black-faced Taoist priest did not dare to be negligent. He took two steps forward, bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Junior Brother Li, a cultivator should keep his mind calm and neither rush nor slow, so that he can gain some understanding. Especially our Jiuyuan Temple's practice method has always been based on following the natural way and transcending the self. You are so anxious, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

The purple-robed woman slowly raised her delicate head. Her face was extremely fair and clean, with a pair of dark eyebrows reaching deep into her hair. She gave people an inexplicable sense of majesty.

"Uncle Master, this is a serious matter. I can't help but be anxious."

"Even if the sky falls, your ancestor is still here. Tell me what's going on." The purple-robed woman continued slowly.

"Ma Liang is dead!" When he said this, the Taoist's already dark face became even darker than the bottom of a pot.

"Who? Ma Liang!" When the woman heard the name, her wrist trembled and the tea spilled on her smooth jade hand. However, she had no time to care about anything else. Her charming eyes were fixed on the black-faced Taoist priest, and she asked incredulously:
"Is that the Ma Liang who was sent to the lower world not long ago?"

"Yes, it's him! Just now, Senior Brother Ma Liang's soul tablet shattered, and it was shattered, which means he has died. And not long before Senior Brother Ma Liang died, a wisp of soul separated from the traitor's life tablet also disappeared." The black-faced Taoist priest told what he knew.

"They are dead, both of them. This means that the item in this temple is completely missing." After being shocked, the purple-robed woman took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.

"Uncle, judging from this situation, the traitor must have cheated before. He pretended to be seriously injured and caused the life plate to shatter, so as to lure our people to the lower world. But he probably didn't expect that we would send Brother Ma to the lower world, who is equally powerful as him, so he ended up dying together."

The black-faced Taoist priest had already thought about the relevant situation on the way here, and he said it without thinking.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but I think another possibility is more likely. That is my previous guess. There is indeed a powerful person in the lower world who killed both of them!" The purple-robed woman said after a little thought.

"It's not that I don't believe in my uncle, but I really can't believe that such a powerful person can be born in a small world among the Lost Worlds. You know, in terms of strength, Senior Brother Ma is one of the best among us brothers, and with his character, it is impossible for him to be calculated by people from the lower world without knowing it.

Not to mention, the senior brother has a talisman bestowed by the ancestors, which can allow him to temporarily break free from the suppression of the interface power and exert strength beyond that of ordinary immortals.

In this case, I think that apart from dying together with the traitor, it is impossible for anyone in the lower world to kill Senior Brother Ma's soul. After all, the traitor's strength is not much inferior to Senior Brother Ma's." The black-faced Taoist said in disbelief.

"Hmph, that's hard to say. Before the Xiaonan Continent lost contact with our fairyland, there were many of our fairyland heritages there. Moreover, when the shocking change happened, some fairies didn't have time to return to the fairyland and were trapped there.

After so many tens of thousands of years of inheritance and accumulation, maybe the things left by these people will be inherited by people in the lower world, and it is not impossible that one or two amazing talents will appear. "The purple-robed woman said in a deep voice.

"Then... Uncle Master, do you want to discuss this with the other uncles, or report to the Grandmaster, and send someone down to investigate the matter and bring back the treasure? After all, this treasure is related to the rise and fall of our Jiuyuan Temple, and it cannot be lost just like that." The black-faced Taoist asked after thinking for a while.
