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

Chapter 605: Han Li Asks for Advice
Zhao Wugui continued in a low voice: "Yes, I heard from Master that the appearance of the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword will definitely cause a racial war. Now all the nearby races have begun to be vigilant and are slowly entering a state of preparation for war."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"A treasure like this one is a collection of the laws of a world, and it is extremely powerful. All the powerful races will compete for it. Although we don't know where this treasure is now, there are countless talented people in the spirit world, and many of them can tell fortunes. Now, these people must have divined the approximate area where the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword is. The next step is to perform a blood sacrifice to summon this treasure!"

"Blood sacrifice!" Ye Ming was slightly moved. Although Ye Ming knew about this thing, he still acted as if he heard of it for the first time.

"Yes, no matter where the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword is, as long as they know the approximate area, those powerful races can summon it to their side through blood sacrifice. And the conditions for the blood sacrifice are..."

At this point, Zhao Yungui seemed to cast his gaze into the distance outside the palace, and spoke at a full speed: "It means that within a short period of time, a large number of powerful creatures died! For example, in war or genocide, those powerful races will not care about the lives of small races. For the sake of treasures, they have no pressure to slaughter one or two other races.

The powerful creatures needed for the blood sacrifice do not have any requirements on which race they belong to, as long as there are enough of them. Therefore, in order to avoid extinction, relatively weaker races usually go to war with nearby races. In this way, some people from each race die, and the death toll is distributed among the various races. "

"I see! Then, now do you know the approximate area where the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword is located?"

"I don't know about this either. I am just a small Void Refining cultivator in Tianyuan City. Such a big thing is beyond my knowledge."

"Thank you, Brother Zhao, for telling me! It seems I need to improve my strength as soon as possible."

"Indeed, this kind of war will definitely result in the death of many people. Once it affects us, I can't say that I can survive. I can only try to make more preparations to ensure that if something happens, there will be more hope of survival." Zhao Wugui said worriedly.

"In that case, I won't bother Brother Zhao any more. Goodbye!"

"Brother Ye, take care!"

After Ye Ming left Zhao Wugui, he went straight back to the cave.

After confirming that Han Li had activated the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword, Ye Ming had an idea of ​​what would happen next.

Today, there are at most sixty years left until the day of the war.

This amount of time is not enough for him to advance to the next level in his cultivation, so he can just maintain his cultivation as it is.

Fortunately, he has always put improving his strength first over the years. He has nothing to worry about the upcoming war and can just continue to make preparations step by step.

After careful consideration, Ye Ming went to the secret room where Ling Yuling was practicing and explained the cause and effect of the incident in detail. He also designed a future practice plan for her, including various methods to improve her strength.

As for Zhao Wugui's warning not to spread the news, Ye Ming didn't take it to heart at all. Is Ling Yuling an outsider?
Ling Yuling was shocked after hearing this, and then said that she would do as Ye Ming designed.

After finishing the explanation, Ye Ming left Ling Yuling who was digesting the news and returned to his practice room to continue practicing.

After he sat cross-legged, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a dark green jade slip appeared. He entered his mind into it and read a certain part of the content carefully.

The jade slip recorded the secret technique of One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones. Over the years, he had already thoroughly studied and comprehended this secret technique, and his practice progress was also quite good.

Now, it is time to split a part of the soul and cultivate one's third Nascent Soul.

After a moment, Ye Ming flipped his hand and the jade slip disappeared.

Then he quickly formed a series of spells with his hands, chanted low spells continuously, and a faint golden light appeared on his body...

……

As time goes by, year after year, the outside world becomes increasingly tense and lively.

First, spies from various tribes appeared frequently outside Tianyuan City, and their number increased more than ten times compared to usual. Almost every team of Qingming Guards that went out on patrol encountered aliens.

The casualties of the Qingming Guard and the Black Iron Guard continued to rise, casting a deep shadow over the two guard teams. In addition, the level of the alien spies outside the city was getting higher and higher. The rare aliens at the level of the Refining Void level also appeared frequently, making it difficult to guard against.

The changes in Tianyuan City gradually affected the entire human and demon areas. All regions dispatched small numbers of Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation and Void Refining cultivators to Tianyuan City.

After decades of planning, the number of high-level cultivators from both the human and demon races in Tianyuan City has increased by two to three times compared to before.

At this point, almost everyone had a feeling that a storm was about to come and a war was about to begin.

……

"Brother Ye, are the aliens about to attack the city?"

One day sixty years later, in Ye Ming's cave, Han Li asked with a serious expression.

After completing the patrol mission, Han Li could no longer bear the worry in his heart and came to Ye Ming to verify.

"Junior brother is right. According to reliable information, a war between immortal cultivators will definitely break out in Tianyuan City this year, or in the next few months!" Ye Ming did not hide anything. As a high-level cultivator in the middle stage of the Refined Void Realm and with a close relationship with Master Lei Luo, he had the right to know such news.

"Ah, this..." Han Li's face looked extremely ugly as his guess was confirmed.

Ye Ming continued, "Moreover, the next battle will surely be extremely brutal. Even I have to be careful. If I am not careful, I may die."

"Ah, how could it be! With your magical powers, even a cultivator in his combined form may not be able to do anything to you. Is it really that dangerous?" Han Li's face changed drastically.

"Why not? Now, the Wood Clan and the Shadow Clan are continuously sending their armies to attack us, trying to break through Tianyuan City and attack the heartland of the two tribes. Junior brother, how many combined cultivators will gather outside Tianyuan City in a few months?"

"This, how could this happen?" Han Li was stunned. It was impossible for him to know such inside information.

If it is really as Senior Brother said, by then there will be at least dozens of cultivators who have achieved the state of fusion, hundreds or thousands of cultivators who have achieved the state of refining emptiness, and tens of thousands of cultivators who have achieved the state of transforming into gods!
He was just a small cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage. In this mighty torrent of forces, he could be crushed to pieces at any time.

Thinking of this, Han Li said worriedly: "Then, Senior Brother, can you come up with a plan to deal with this?"

"Hey, there's no real countermeasure. As a member of Tianyuan City, if I flee without fighting, I will be hunted down by the entire Elder Council. So, I will stay here to participate in the war. I'll be careful and not provoke those combined cultivators." Ye Ming said indifferently.

Han Li was silent. He had only been in Tianyuan City for a few decades and had not yet accumulated enough Dust-Extinguishing Pills. Even if he escaped from Tianyuan City now, he would die in the two-color lightning tribulation in the future. But if he stayed here, he would have to participate in a brutal war, but he was not sure how to effectively preserve his life in the war.

Ye Ming naturally knew Han Li's general idea. Han ran away. If you give him a reason to run away, he will run faster than anyone else. So he said:

"Junior brother, there are actually ways to leave Tianyuan City in an upright manner."

"Oh? What method?" Han Li instantly became alert.

"In recent days, the Elder Council has issued a series of special missions, among which there are several specifically for ascended monks. To carry out these missions, one must either go to the wilderness or to alien races. In any case, one must leave Tianyuan City. Junior brother, you may wish to consider it." This was also one of the messages Ye Ming received.

Seeing Han Li looking thoughtful, Ye Ming continued, "These tasks are very difficult, but the rewards are also very generous. For example, Junior Brother needs Dust-Extinguishing Pills. Maybe we can get enough of them at once."

After hearing this, Han Li quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and clasped his fists towards Ye Ming:

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, I am very grateful! This matter is of great importance, I need to go back and think about it, I will take my leave now."

"Well, this is a matter of life and death, so we really need to consider the stakes clearly."
