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

Five years later, Ye Ming sat cross-legged at the foot of the iceberg, with wisps of white mist rising from his head, floating in the wind like green smoke.

His whole body was wrapped tightly in the fluffy white cold air, making it completely airtight.

He had already removed the magic shield and the protection of the silver flame, allowing the cold air to directly contact his body.

Countless cold air entered Ye Ming's body, madly destroying the cells, tissues, muscles, bones, etc. inside.

But immediately afterwards, Ye Ming gathered a large amount of heaven and earth energy to quickly repair the injured parts.

Between the bad and the good, some changes quietly took place in his body.

At a certain moment, Ye Ming suddenly opened his eyes and heard a faint roar in his ears.

"This is……"

Just as he was feeling somewhat puzzled, the entire earth suddenly shook and then began to tremble.

"not good!"

Ye Ming immediately stopped practicing his skills, then his figure flashed, turned into a golden light, and quickly retreated into the distance.

He had just walked a short distance away from the iceberg when the ground began to shake more and more violently, and the rumbling sound from underground became louder and louder, as if some monster was rushing up from underground.

Suddenly, a deafening roar sounded.

"Boom!" The huge iceberg exploded, leaving a big hole in the middle that quickly spread to both sides.

The loud noises of "boom, boom" were heard continuously, and the entire iceberg seemed to be shaking and exploding.

The huge impact force caused the entire underground world to shake violently.

There was a rumbling sound, ice cubes were flying everywhere, the cold air was raging, and it was a doomsday scene.

Ye Ming flew ten miles away and looked at the drastic changes in front of him with a serious expression, wondering if the Taiyin Firebird had touched something?
Over the past five years, apart from the fact that the connection between the Taiyin Firebird and his mind continued to strengthen, Ye Ming had no idea what the fire had experienced or what the situation was like at the bottom of the iceberg.

Suddenly, a loud and long cry was heard, and at the location where the hole in the iceberg first appeared, a flash of fire appeared, and a huge bird appeared.

The bird was about twenty to thirty feet in size, and when its wings were spread, it was even more than two hundred feet wide. It was extremely handsome, with a silver glow all over its body, and covered in a layer of silver flames. A biting cold emanated from its body, freezing the nearby void so much that it crackled.

"Taiyin True Fire!" Ye Ming couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this.

Although the giant bird in front of him had changed a little in appearance, it had basically not deviated from the enlarged form of the Taiyin Firebird. Moreover, the connection between this bird and his mind could be clearly sensed.

As soon as the giant bird appeared, it let out a sharp cry that could pierce gold and split rocks, and then flames broke out all over its body, forming an extremely cold column of fire that rushed straight to the top of the underground world.

The ice cubes that flew apart after the explosion seemed to be crushed by some invisible force. They shattered into powder, revealing wisps of floc-like cold air.

The Lunar Firebird opened its huge mouth excitedly and took a deep breath.

Suddenly a gust of wind swept through, and large amounts of extremely cold air poured into its mouth, quickly clearing out a large area of ​​the extremely cold air.

Then, the Taiyin Firebird flapped its wings, flew to another place filled with extremely cold air, and opened its mouth wide to inhale wildly.

In less than a cup of tea, almost all the extremely cold air around was sucked into the belly of the Taiyin Firebird.

With the influx of cold air, the firebird's body became larger and the silver flame burning on its surface became more vigorous.

It let out cheerful chirps, and its body expanded and shrank a few times in the air. Then, it shrank rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it became a bird the size of a fist. After flying and circling in the air for a while, it flashed into Ye Ming's palm, leisurely combing its feathers.

Ye Ming held the shrunken Taiyin Firebird and looked at it carefully, and found that the body of the firebird was closer to a solid state, and the faint sense of coldness in its body was several times stronger than before.

"Not bad. These five years of waiting for you were not in vain." Ye Ming smiled and put away the Taiyin Firebird.

He knew that the Taiyin True Fire had just absorbed a huge amount of extremely cold air and had not yet had time to refine it. If it could be completely refined, the power of this fire would definitely be greatly enhanced.

After the iceberg disappeared, the abyss crack reappeared.

Ye Ming looked at the crack with hesitation, and after thinking for a moment, he turned around and rushed to the exit he came from. This place can produce such a strong and powerful extreme cold air, there must be something else in the cave below.

If he could go down and explore, he might gain something, but his cultivation level is still low at the moment, and he can still vaguely feel the danger here.

So now is not the time to explore. I just need to hunt the ancient beasts step by step, and then take drugs to quickly improve my cultivation. When my cultivation is higher and my strength is stronger, I will come here to explore, which will be safer.

Next, Ye Ming followed his established plan, killing monsters and obtaining elixirs in the wilderness, heading all the way to the southeast.

……

In another snowy place in the wilderness, an ice phoenix with a body of dozens of feet swooped down from the sky and grabbed a giant ice crystal python with one claw. After pecking a few times with its sharp beak, it took out the python's demon pill.

The giant python let out a scream that shook the earth, and its huge body twisted weakly.

Bing Feng ignored the giant python that had lost its demon pill, and with silver light flashing on its body, it transformed into a woman in silver clothes, who was Bing Feng. However, at this time, her cultivation level was already in the late stage of transformation!
"The Ni Ling Zhen Yin method that person gave me is indeed extraordinary! Through this method, I continuously absorbed cold-attributed natural treasures, and in just over four hundred years I have cultivated to the late stage of Spirit Transformation. This is simply an incredible thing among the demon clan." Bing Feng murmured, holding the giant python's crystal clear demon pill in her jade hand.

Afterwards, she casually waved out a few white lights, completely killing the giant python. After collecting the giant python's corpse, she quickly left the place.

……

A hundred years later, Ye Ming appeared on a coastal cliff at the northeastern end of Fengyuan Continent.

"This must be the Black Hidden Mountains!"

Looking at the vast black sea of ​​fog in front of him, Ye Ming murmured.

At this time, Ye Ming was standing on a thousand-foot-high cliff. Behind him was the endless sea, but strangely, the water in the sea was deep red, like a sea of ​​blood, which was extremely weird.

More than ten miles away in the direction he was facing, there was a boundless sea of ​​black fog. The fog was extremely thick and dark, reaching a height of thousands of feet, covering large areas of the mountain range. The naked eye could not see through the black fog at all.

When the spiritual consciousness extended in, it could only detect a distance of less than a mile before it disappeared mysteriously like a stone sinking into the sea.

In fact, it has been more than a year since Ye Ming came out of the wilderness.

It took him a hundred years to cross the northern part of the wild world and reach the northeast end from the northwest corner of Fengyuan Continent.

As soon as he walked out of the wilderness, Ye Ming quickly searched for the Feiling tribe's territory along the coast.

After a year of hard work, they finally found the Feiling tribe and captured several low- and middle-level Chirong people on the outskirts of this tribe. From their oral accounts and minds, they learned the location of the black fog.

Afterwards, after verifying with several parties, Ye Ming learned that the mountain range where the black fog was located was called the Black Hidden Mountains.

The Black Hidden Mountain, located at the rear of the Feiling tribe, is a peninsula protruding from the mainland with an extremely large area.

According to the Huo Rong tribe member in the Spirit Transformation stage whose soul he searched, the mountain range here is so large that even a tribe member in the late Spirit Transformation stage would have to fly at full speed for several months before flying out of the mountains.

However, no one would do that because half of the peninsula was covered by thick fog.

These dark fogs are extremely powerful. No grass can grow in them. Any plant that comes into contact with the dark fog will instantly wither and turn yellow and lose its vitality. The same goes for ordinary wild beasts. They cannot be touched by the dark fog at all, otherwise they will lose their lives in an instant.

Even low- to mid-level cultivators could not resist the invasion of the dark fog and could not hold out for a moment.

As for high-level cultivators, they can actually stay in the dark fog for a while, but no one would have the time to run into the dark fog.

It is said that in addition to the Nether Mist itself, there are other unknown huge dangers. There have been more than one predecessor at the level of Spirit Marshal who went to explore the Nether Mist out of disbelief, but no one came back alive.

Therefore, for thousands of years, the dark fog of the Black Hidden Mountain has long become a forbidden area for the Feiling Clan, and no one would come here casually.

However, Ye Ming knew that on the other side of the dark fog was an enclave occupied by the Tianpeng branch of the Feiling clan.

Because this place is different from the dead silence of the dark fog. Here, the mountains are beautiful and the water is clear. The spiritual energy is vast, and there grow a wide variety of spiritual flowers and herbs. Some of them are even urgently needed by the Tianpeng clan, such as the wood ling flower.
