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

It is worth mentioning that at the end of Ye Ming’s last trip to Guanghan Realm, he asked someone to find Han Li and persuade the other party to agree to let his apprentice, Young Master Hai, follow him for a thousand years.

During these thousand years, Ye Ming helped Young Master Hai cultivate from the early stage of Refining Void to the late stage of Refining Void, and then brought him into this trip to Guanghan Realm.

Young Master Hai also worked hard and successfully broke through to the fusion stage, thus gaining the ability to help Mahayana cultivators overcome heavenly tribulations.

Although this ability is not needed for the time being, when Ye Ming is no longer in the tribe, Young Master Hai can shoulder the same mission as the Thunder Beast and resist the great heavenly calamity for other Mahayana cultivators.

In addition, over the years Ye Ming also took the time to use several Xuantian treasures to sign contracts with five ancient true spirits who had been defeated by him and had relatively mild tempers, making them the worshippers of the human race.

Together with the golden-winged Roc that was subdued previously, there are a total of six true spirits providing protection for the human race.

However, when it was announced to the public, it was only said that there were two true spirits, thus reducing people's speculation about the number of Xuantian treasures possessed by the human race.

At this point, the human race has become a super race in Fengyun Continent. Even if Ye Ming is excluded, it can still rank high in the spirit world.

The demon clan also greatly increased in strength and entered the ranks of middle-level clans.

However, the demon race will not and cannot break away from the human race and become independent, so the two races can be considered as the same force.

After coming out of Guanghan Realm, Ye Ming did not go anywhere else, but started his cultivation life again.

It was not until another thousand years later that he led a group of people into the Guanghan Realm again.

……

This cycle repeated itself one thousand years after another, and slowly eight thousand years passed.

Eight thousand years is a terrifying lifespan that is beyond the reach of a mortal. To those ancient spirits that sleep for thousands of years, it is just a few long sleeps. And relative to the objective existence of an interface, it is just an insignificant moment.

One day eight thousand years later, in cities large and small, countless monks of the human race, which had completely become a superpower in the spiritual world, poured out from their homes, gathered in squares and teahouses, and discussed something excitedly.

In the streets and alleys, one can see fully armed strong men walking around everywhere, and in the sky from time to time one can see teams of monks patrolling back and forth.

In several giant border city fortresses in the area currently occupied by the human race, all kinds of restrictions are in full effect. At the same time, giant flying magic weapons take off into the sky, carrying groups of soldiers, all of whom are alert to any unusual movements outside the city as if they are facing a great enemy.

On top of a huge mountain tens of thousands of miles away from one of the giant cities, a dozen Mahayana monks from different races dressed in different costumes were sitting cross-legged on a huge rock, gazing into the distance.

After an unknown amount of time, an old man in green with his eyes closed and a face full of wrinkles suddenly opened his eyes and said:
"According to the time, it should be about to start. To be honest, before coming here, I always thought that it was the human who was known as the number one in the spiritual world who was going to ascend, but I didn't expect that it was another unknown human cultivator who was going to survive the ascension. Even now, I still find it incredible."

"It can't be said that he is unknown. It is said that when the true immortal from the upper realm descended, a man named Han Li escaped from the hands of the true immortal for three years without being caught. From this point of view alone, how many of us can do it?" Another extremely beautiful young woman shook her head and said this.

“Since Han Li can cultivate to the level of overcoming tribulations and ascending to heaven, then according to this calculation, besides the number one person in the spiritual world, there must be many powerful characters among the human race. I don’t know how many years our tribe will be suppressed by this tribe. Alas…” An old man with a tall and thin stature and a short head sighed slowly.

"You, the Mayfly Clan, still want to make a comeback and become the strongest race in the Fengyun Continent again? I think, Brother Bi, you'd better give up such unrealistic fantasies. Otherwise, hehe, the dozens of great masters of the human race are not vegetarians..." A ferocious man wearing five-colored animal skins said sarcastically after taking a big sip of wine.

"Crazy Mei! What did you say? Say it again if you have the guts." The small-headed old man immediately became furious.

"Okay, both of you, be patient. We are here to observe the tribulation of ascension, not to quarrel. There is no need for that. I didn't expect that after so many years in our spiritual world, someone finally dared to go through the tribulation of ascension. This young master still can't help but feel a little excited." A young man in white clothes with a scroll in his hand and an unusually pale face said, shaking his head.

When the old man and the big man heard this, they looked at Qiannian in white with some fear, and indeed did not say anything more.

“I can’t remember exactly when the last time someone from the spirit world successfully ascended to the immortal world was. I just feel like it must have been a long, long time ago.

I wonder what kind of ability this Han Li has to dare to let others watch his tribulation process in public. Is he absolutely sure that he can successfully cross the tribulation? This is really exciting... "When the few people were silent, another alien Mahayana said slowly.

Then some people took over the conversation, while others remained silent, but they all had their minds on something far away.

……

Ye Ming and Han Li stood facing each other on two peaks not far apart of a towering mountain.

"Junior Brother Han, you are the one who has reached this step first. To be honest, I am very envious of you." Ye Ming looked at Han Li opposite him with envy.

"Brother, you're joking. You know my situation. There's always a sword hanging over my head. If I don't seize the time to practice and strive to reach the fairyland as soon as possible, sooner or later I will go crazy and kill people to death. That's why I chose to take the risk in such a hurry." Han Li looked up at the sky and said bitterly.

Without waiting for Ye Ming's response, he continued, "Brother, you don't have the trouble of refining the divine art, so you can have as much time as possible to prepare, and you can also enjoy the blessing of having all the best people in this spiritual world, so you don't have to rush like me.

Besides, I believe that you already have the strength to survive the catastrophe, but you suppressed your cultivation aura and even deceived the Heavenly Dao. I wonder if my guess is correct?"

"Hahaha, what are you talking about, Junior Brother? It's true that I have no sense of urgency, and I also want to enjoy a few more years in the spiritual world. That's why I have been a bit slack in my cultivation over the years, and the growth of my cultivation has been extremely slow. It's true that I haven't reached the level where I can survive the calamity of ascension." Ye Ming laughed without changing his expression.

"Really?" Han Li shook his head, obviously not believing what Ye Ming said.

Han Li also won a Guangling Dao Fruit on Dragon Island that year. Over the years, he has been using the elixir cultivated in the Zhantian Bottle himself and has not used it to supply other people in the human and demon races.

Therefore, he carried a large number of elixirs that could improve his cultivation, and with the help of the magical power of the Guangling Dao Fruit, he managed to successfully cultivate the Five Internal Organs Tempering Technique in just eight thousand years, and accumulated a terrifying amount of magic power.

Now, he has great confidence in his own strength. If Ma Liang from that time were to come and cause trouble for him now, he is confident that he can easily destroy this true immortal.

But even so, when facing Ye Ming, Han Li still felt frightened, as if he was just a child in front of the other party and could be controlled by him at any time.

Therefore, even though he had reached the level of ascension, he still did not dare to have any unfavorable thoughts towards Ye Ming. Regarding Han Li's words of disbelief, Ye Ming did not say anything more, but asked: "That's for sure. By the way, Junior Brother Han, are you well prepared? Do you really not mind having outsiders watching you transcend the tribulation?"

"I can only say that I have done everything I should do. No one knows whether I am fully prepared before I overcome the tribulation. However, with my senior brother's thunder beast helping me, my chances of success are at least 40% higher than before.

As for those people, just watch, it's no big deal. But the thunder beast of that senior brother is really an existence that defies the heavens. Senior brother, aren't you afraid that others will see its ability and attract the covetousness of alien races?"

"Hehe, as long as I'm here, no one dares to have any bad ideas about it. Even if I ascend to heaven in the future, I will definitely take it away. I won't leave any trouble for the human race." Ye Ming said nonchalantly.

In the past eight thousand years, he had let the thunder beasts resist most of the great calamities for all the Mahayana cultivators of the human and demon races, allowing Ao Xiao and Mo Jianli, who were originally worried about their lives, to extend their lives by tens of thousands of years. Qing Yuanzi was also the same. Without having to worry about the great calamity, he concentrated on cultivation and his cultivation strength improved again.

The Thunder Beast also went through one great heavenly tribulation after another, absorbing a large amount of thunder from the heavenly tribulation, which caused its cultivation to increase rapidly. Now it has reached the late Mahayana level.

"Haha, it's good that you know this. I'm grateful to you for taking care of me all these years. I've prepared a generous gift for you. I'm just afraid you won't accept it, so I put it in my cave. You can go get it yourself or send someone to get it later.

Regardless of whether I succeed in overcoming the tribulation this time, I will trouble you to take care of my disciples and younger generations." Han Li looked at the sky and felt that the time was about right, so he prepared to say goodbye to Ye Ming.

"You're too polite, Junior Brother. Even if you didn't tell me, I would have taken good care of them. As fellow human cultivators, I won't favor one over the other." Ye Ming was quite surprised that Han Li actually prepared a gift for him.

"That's right. Senior Brother, what you have done for the human race over the years is beyond my reach. I don't think it's possible for me to achieve what you have done."

"Haha, it's just a small favor, it's nothing. If you want to do something, it's actually very simple, but you just don't have time to take care of these mundane matters for the time being."

"Senior brother is so complimentary!"

"Okay, the time has come. I will not delay my junior brother from overcoming the tribulation. I wish my junior brother a successful ascension and greater glory in the fairyland! Maybe I will need you to take care of me when I ascend to heaven in the future." Ye Ming winked at Han Li.

Han Li's expression straightened up and he laughed loudly, "Okay! I will go ahead and explore the way for you. If I fail, everything will be gone. If I succeed by chance, I will wait for you in the fairyland, and then we will work together."

"Take care, junior brother!" Ye Ming nodded and said nothing more. As the space fluctuated, he suddenly disappeared.

But a monster with a beheaded human body was left in its place. It was Ye Ming's thunder beast!

"Senior brother's laws of space are even more unfathomable. He is truly a genius in cultivation!" Han Li looked at Ye Ming's disappearing back and secretly praised him in his heart.

Then, he turned around and bowed to the Thunder Beast, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Brother Lei later!"

"Ga ga..." The thunder beast made several unpleasant sounds.

Then it flapped its four wings and turned into a ray of silver light and flew away. In the blink of an eye, it was hundreds of miles away, and then it stopped in the air and remained motionless.

A mountain thousands of miles away from the towering mountain had its top cut off by a sharp sword, forming a platform with a diameter of several hundred feet.

In the center of the platform, dozens of men and women in different clothes were sitting in a circle on golden chairs made of precious spiritual wood, talking in low voices.

These people, regardless of gender, all exude the aura of the Mahayana level. They are the Mahayana ancestors of both the human and demon races!

Behind them, more than a hundred feet away, stood rows of other cultivators from the two clans in an arc. Judging from their cultivation, they were all at the Fusion Stage, and there were nearly two thousand of them. Although they did not talk about anything, they all looked into the distance with anticipation and excitement.

Just as the Mahayana ancestors were chatting happily, the space in the open space in front of them fluctuated, and a young man in white clothes emerged mysteriously. It was Ye Ming!
"Hello, Fellow Daoist Ye!"

"Since Fellow Daoist Ye is here, it means Fellow Daoist Han should be starting soon."

"Husband, this way..."

The people present immediately sensed Ye Ming's arrival and stood up to greet him. Each of them was extremely polite, with awe and gratitude evident in their words.

This is no wonder, all the Mahayana ancestors present have received Ye Ming's kindness, several old Mahayana masters have received Ye Ming's help in the great heavenly tribulation, and all the new Mahayana masters have successfully advanced with the help of the spiritual objects funded by Ye Ming. It can be said that most of their current cultivation is due to Ye Ming's contribution.

"Everyone, please take a seat! Junior Brother Han is about to pass the tribulation. This is a rare opportunity. After watching, you will not only have a direct understanding of the tribulation of ascension, but also benefit greatly in your future cultivation.

If Junior Brother Han can really survive the catastrophe, at the moment of ascension, the wisp of fairyland fluctuations emanating from the fairyland passage will be sensed by the powerful people in the entire interface. If they can comprehend some of the power of the laws, they will definitely benefit a lot from it. Of course, since we are so close, I believe it will be easier for us to comprehend. "Ye Ming looked around, waved his sleeves, and said with a smile.

After eight thousand years of development, the demon race has become the largest force in the spiritual world.

The number of Mahayana monks exceeded thirty, which was not much less than the number during the heyday of the Jiao Chi tribe. Among them, Ye Ming's Taoist companions accounted for twelve people.

Ling Yulin, Ye Lingyun, Yuan Yao, Nangong Wan, Wang Ning, Yin Yue, Chen Qiaoqian, Yan Ruyan, Lin Yinping, Ye Ying and Yanli, eleven Taoist companions, with the help of various natural treasures, immortal secret techniques and elixirs, have successively broken through to the Mahayana stage.

In addition to them, eight other people from the human race, including Hu Jun, advanced to the Mahayana stage.

And six people from the demon clan also successfully advanced.

As for those below the fusion level, there are even more of them. Ye Ming has rarely paid attention to the specific number in recent years.

Such geometric growth naturally requires a vast territory to support it. The current territories of the two tribes directly occupy one-third of the wilderness!
If a cultivator in the state of fusion does not take the teleportation array, it will take at least ten to twenty years to fly from north to south.
