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

Chapter 606 Undercurrent
After Han Li left, Ling Yuling walked into the hall, came behind Ye Ming, and gently massaged his shoulders.

"Husband, according to what you just said, the upcoming war will be extremely dangerous. Do I need to take those special missions and leave Tianyuan City?"

Ye Ming leaned back, buried his head in the beauty's softness, and said slowly:

"You'd better go and take one. Although with your current cultivation level of the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm, with the help of the techniques and the treasures I gave you, it would be easy for you to defeat the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. It would not be difficult to kill them either, and you can even fight against the early stage cultivators of the Void Refinement Realm.

However, this is a large-scale war, and the leaders of all races have a consensus that enough people must die. Your strength is of no use at all, so it is better to leave Tianyuan City.

Outside, whether you are fighting alone or in a small group fight, you don't have to be afraid. Your chances of survival are much higher than here. As long as you don't run headfirst into a large alien army, it's easy to survive."

In recent years, with the support of a large number of elixirs, Ling Yuling's cultivation speed has greatly increased, and he has entered the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit not long ago. Ye Ming also armed Ling Yuling with items such as the Vajra Warrior Talisman, the Puppet Talisman, and the Tongtian Lingbao.

This woman’s current strength is definitely not weak, and is on par with Han Li.

Hearing Ye Ming say this, Ling Yuling nodded.

"Well, I'll listen to you! I've been a Qingming Guard for two hundred years, and I've used almost all of my merits to exchange for the Dust-Extinguishing Pill. By now, the aura of the other world on my body has long been eliminated. I can take a mission and go out. Even if I can't complete the mission, I can just hide outside and not come back for the time being."

"That's right. There's no time to lose. Go and take the mission later."

"Uh-huh!"

"Oh, by the way, don't take the same mission as Han Li." Ye Ming suddenly thought of Han Li's group-annihilation attribute. Although this attribute mostly works on men, who knows if it will be transmitted to Ling Yuling.

"Ah! Why is that? Also, hasn't he decided yet what mission to take?" Ling Yulin had a strange look on her face and stopped moving her hands.

"Don't worry about why. Just keep it in mind. You're right. Han Li hasn't decided what mission to take yet. I'll go and help you tomorrow and tell you when I come back."

"Ok!"

……

As expected, Han Li accepted a mission to go to the Wood Clan to do business. The participants included Long Dong from the Long Clan, Ye Ying from the Ye Clan, Xiao Hong from the Black Phoenix Clan, and another young man from the Bird Clan, who were exactly the same as in the original time and space.

After Ye Ming learned this information, he immediately asked Ling Yulin to take on another mission to the wilderness.

Ling Yuling was not vague either. After accepting the mission, she immediately packed her things and set off, beginning her adventure in the wilderness.

In the following period, the atmosphere in Tianyuan City became more and more tense. Just a few days after Han Li and Ling Yuling left Tianyuan City, almost everyone knew that several alien races such as the Wood Clan and the Shadow Clan were about to attack the human and demon races.

Tianyuan City, as a barrier between the human and demon races, is the first to bear the brunt and must first withstand the attacks of the alien races.

Everyone in the city, be it human or monster, was in an extremely heavy mood, but facing this war between races, there was very little they could do except to seize the time to improve their strength.

At this point, most people knew that even if they wanted to escape from Tianyuan City, it was no longer possible.

The defense formation of Tianyuan City has been activated. Whether it is the direction of the wilderness or the direction close to the hinterland of the human and demon tribes, there are fusion-stage monks guarding. Only entry is allowed, and exit is not allowed. It is as difficult as ascending to heaven to escape!

But in this tense atmosphere, various auctions and trade fairs in the city are in full swing.

Moreover, at this time, the prices of treasures that can quickly improve strength are rising rapidly.

For example, normally a spiritual treasure could be bought for a few thousand spiritual stones, but now, you can’t even think about it unless you have more than 25 million.

The prices of other items such as talismans, materials, and secret techniques for stimulating potential such as elixirs also skyrocketed.

When Ye Ming saw this situation, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

He had hoarded a large amount of ancient beast materials, finished silver tadpole talismans, dozens of spiritual treasures, and a small number of celestial spiritual treasures.

So he took this opportunity to participate in various auctions and trade fairs, and exchange these things for top-grade spirit stones.

Although top-grade spirit stones are useful to everyone and have a wide range of uses, when a war is approaching, the role of spirit stones is obviously not as great as that of finished treasures.

Therefore, Ye Ming easily exchanged for three times more top-grade spirit stones than usual. That day, Ye Ming suddenly received a notice from the Elders' Council, asking him to go to the Elders' Tower for a meeting.

The meeting place is on the 80th floor of the Elders' Tower.

The entire 80th floor is a huge hall, which is forty to fifty meters long and wide, and can accommodate at least a thousand people.

When Ye Ming arrived here, hundreds of people had gathered in the hall. Each of them had an extremely powerful aura, and most of them were in the late stage of refining emptiness.

There are only about ten people in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm, but the aura of these people is not much weaker than those in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm. They are obviously powerful people.

People in the hall were gathered in groups of three or four, some talking in low voices, others moving their lips to communicate.

Ye Ming glanced around the hall and saw several familiar faces.

He smiled slightly and walked over.

"Brother Du, Brother Zhao, and a few other fellow Taoists, thank you for coming early." Ye Ming bowed to a small group of four or five people.

"Brother Ye, Fellow Daoist Ye is here!" Several people bowed in return.

These five people are all ascended cultivators. Except for Zhao Wugui who is in the middle stage of the Refinement Void Realm, the other four are in the late stage of the Refinement Void Realm.

Among them, a middle-aged man in a purple robe had the highest cultivation level, reaching the peak of the late stage. This man was called Du Jingming. Ye Ming had communicated with him several times before and felt that he was a very humble person.

The other two men and one woman were named Wang Zhiteng, Cheng Yong and Wen Qing.

These three people were also people Ye Ming had met during the hundred years that he had lived in Tianyuan City. They would occasionally visit each other and exchange experiences.

"Haha, several fellow Taoists came here before me. Do you know why the elders asked us here?" Ye Ming asked directly.

"I'm really not sure about this. No one from above has revealed anything." Du Jingming shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

"Just now we told Brother Zhao to find a way to ask first. After all, he is the disciple of Master Lei Luo, and he should know some inside information before us." Wen Qing continued. She was a woman who looked full of intellectual beauty.

"My fellow Taoists have really stumped me. After I received the message to come here, I could no longer contact my master, and I don't know why I came here." Zhao Wugui said with a wry smile.

"No matter what we are going to do, it must be related to the upcoming war." Wang Zhiteng said with certainty.

"Yes, speaking of the alien race this time..." Cheng Yong continued.

The few of them started chatting again, one sentence after another.

What Ye Ming and his friends didn't know was that in an extremely secret underground secret room in the Elders' Tower, Master Lei Luo and Zen Master Jin Yue were sitting face to face around a seemingly ordinary bluestone table, talking about something.

At this moment, Master Lei Luo was looking at Master Jin Yue in surprise, and asked in astonishment: "What! Master, are you saying that you sent all the Ascended monks of the past hundred years to perform tasks outside because you suspected that the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword was in the possession of one of them?"

Zen Master Jin Yue first shook his head, then nodded.

"This possibility is very small, but it cannot be completely ruled out."

"How to say?"

"Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to predict in which tribe the Xuantian treasure will appear, given the strength of our two tribes. But this time, there happened to be a fusion-stage being in the demon tribe who had some prophetic talents and magical powers. Knowing that he had no hope of surviving this great calamity, he actually stimulated his potential and used his life's magic power to predict the approximate whereabouts of this treasure.

The result showed that the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword was in the northwest corner of Fengyuan Continent where our human race was located. This area included six or seven races, including our human race, demon race, spirit race, wood race, Yaksha race, and shadow race. In other words, this newly appeared Xuantian treasure might also appear in our human race.

Currently, only the human and demon races know this news, but I think it won’t be kept secret for long. After all, there must be spies from other races in our two races, and there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. You should know what the consequences will be if other races know this.”

"But, this range is too large. Why are these the ascended monks and not others? Or other races?"
