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

Tianyuan City, inside the Elder Tower.

The old man surnamed Gu, Zen Master Jin Yue, the young man wiping his face and others gathered together and were talking.

"So, Fellow Daoist Han is unwilling to join our Tianyuan City. Does he think that we don't value him enough, or does he think that the conditions we offer are not good enough?" The wrinkles on the face of the old monk Jin Yue were squeezed together, and he asked in confusion.

"I'm not quite sure about that. Logically speaking, he's a newly promoted fusion cultivator, and my personal invitation to him has already shown the sincerity of our Tianyuan City. Moreover, the conditions I offered are almost the same as the treatment you and I have, and I have done my best. But this fellow Han still refused it outright. I guess he is a person who truly yearns for freedom and does not want to be bound." The silver-haired old man surnamed Gu said with a wry smile.

After hearing this, the old monk Jin Yue was silent for a moment, then said with a firm look, "How about this, you and I will go again later and try to see if we can win this person over."

Before the old man surnamed Gu and the scarred young man could say anything, a voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

"Oh? Who is worthy of the master to go to such great lengths to invite?"

"Who is it?" Zen Master Jin Yue and the other three were shocked. They shouted immediately and then became fully alert.

As soon as he finished speaking, the restriction at the entrance of the hall shook and was penetrated by a golden light as if it did not exist.

After the golden light faded, a handsome young man in white appeared.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, you are finally back!" After seeing the newcomer, several people breathed a sigh of relief and said in surprise.

"Yeah, I heard you guys talking about winning over someone when I first arrived." Ye Ming smiled and nodded. After leaving the Wuya Mountains, he traveled among the various alien races near the wilderness for more than ten years, and only returned to the human race when he felt that he had gained a lot.

After everyone sat back down, Zen Master Jin Yue explained, "It's like this. Some time ago, someone not far from this city advanced to the fusion stage. And you know this person, fellow Taoist."

Ye Ming said in surprise: "I know him? I just heard you say that his surname is Han, could it be Han Li?"

"That's right. That person is Han Li. Like you, he ascended from the same human world. More than three hundred years ago, he served as the Qingming Guard in this city." The old man surnamed Gu continued.

Zen Master Jin Yue looked up at Ye Ming and said, "This person has cultivated from the Spiritual Transformation Stage to the Body Integration Stage in over 300 years. His terrifying talent is almost not inferior to yours. Tsk tsk, I really don't know how two amazing and brilliant people suddenly appeared in your human world."

"It's just a coincidence!" Ye Ming shook his head and kept complaining in his heart. Han Li's upgrade was too fast. He reached the fusion stage at the same time as in the original book.

The opportunity of body infusion in Guanghan Realm was snatched by himself. I remember that when Han Li just came out of there, he had just entered the late stage of refining void. Only a hundred years have passed. Could it be that this man got some incredible opportunity again?

At this time, Jin Yue said again: "In fact, our city has Fellow Daoist Ye in charge. Under normal circumstances, one more or one less cultivator in the early stage of fusion is not a big deal, and we don't have to invite him to join us. But..."

Having said this, the old monk's expression became solemn.

"But what? I am also very curious, why do Master and Fellow Daoist Gu insist on inviting this person to join us?" The scarred young man who had been silent all this time took over the conversation.

This question had been in his mind for a long time, and he finally seized the opportunity to ask it.

Including the old man surnamed Gu, they all looked at the old monk in confusion.

Ye Ming was also puzzled when he saw the expression on the old monk Jin Yue's face.

While the old monk Jin Yue was talking, he suddenly raised his hand and set up a soundproofing barrier in the hall, covering everyone inside.

Seeing this, everyone became even more curious. After seeing that there was nothing wrong, the old monk Jin Yue slowly said: "According to reliable information, the demonic disaster is about to come!"

"what!"

Hearing this, the scarred young man had no reaction, but the old man surnamed Gu jumped up from his seat and said in surprise:
"How is it possible? Doesn't a demonic disaster usually occur once every 100,000 years? If I remember correctly, it has only been 30,000 to 40,000 years since the last demonic disaster. How could it come again so soon?"

The scarred young man's face turned pale when he heard this. Although he had never experienced the devil disaster, the horror of the devil disaster was clearly described in the classics. Not to mention that he was in the early stage of fusion, even a cultivator in the late stage of fusion could not guarantee that he would survive the devil disaster.

"It turned out to be this!" Ye Ming was stunned for a moment and then returned to normal. He had known for a long time that people from the Demon Realm would attack in a few hundred years, but he did not expect that the old monk knew it so long in advance.

Seeing Ye Ming's expression, Jin Yue asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Ye doesn't seem to take the demonic disaster seriously. Is he not worried at all? Or does he have no idea what this demonic disaster is?"

"I know a little bit about it. Could you please tell me in detail?" Ye Ming asked knowingly.

"In fact, the spiritual world we are in is not the only intermediate interface. There are many interfaces equivalent to the spiritual world around us. Although I don't know the exact number, there are at least hundreds. I believe fellow Daoist should know this, right?" Jin Yue first said this to Ye Ming.

After he nodded, he continued:
"And the demon world is an interface adjacent to our spirit world. The relative position between our spirit world and the demon world is not fixed, but moves between approaching and moving away from each other. Therefore, every once in a while, the demon world will approach us, and sometimes even merge with us. At this time, the barrier between the two interfaces will be greatly weakened.

The so-called demonic disaster is that the people of the demon world take advantage of this interface intersection period to open up the plane channel and send a large number of demons to attack us, kill our people, and rob our resources. Among the demons that descended on the spirit world, there are people with low to high cultivation levels, and the highest is even the saint ancestor of the demon world, that is, the demon equivalent to the Mahayana cultivator will also come.

Every time the demons descend, they bring unimaginable harm to our two tribes, the Wood Tribe, the Shadow Tribe, and several other nearby tribes. In previous demon disasters, countless combined cultivators have died, so, Fellow Daoist Ye, you know why it is called a demon disaster. "

"The Mahayana Saint Ancestor!" Ye Ming cooperated with a solemn expression.

"According to the previous rules, the original bodies of the early Mahayana Saint Ancestors at the intersection of the interfaces cannot cross the boundary, and they usually send some incarnations. But even so, those incarnations of the Saint Ancestors are extremely powerful, and we cannot match them. However, with your strength, Fellow Daoist Ye, it should be no problem to deal with one or two Saint Ancestor incarnations."

Although Jin Yue had never seen Ye Ming take action after the fusion stage, he estimated that Ye Ming's strength must be far stronger than that of an average cultivator in the late fusion stage, so he said so.

"Master, where did you get this information? Is it reliable?" The old man surnamed Gu still held out some hope, hoping that it was just a false alarm.

"The news came from the Holy Island. Some time ago, our human race's Mo Jianli, the ancestor Mo, ventured into the demon world and was injured when he came back. According to the ancestor Mo, the various tribes in the demon world are recruiting soldiers on a large scale and preparing for a large-scale invasion of our spirit world.

Currently, this news is only known by a few people. I have good friends in the Holy Island, otherwise I would not know it. Please do not spread this news, so as not to cause panic. "Jin Yue said slowly.

"Since these words came from the mouth of Old Ancestor Mo, they should not be false!" After hearing this, the old man surnamed Gu's hope was shattered and he sat down dejectedly.

"Brother Gu, don't worry too much. Everything is normal between the two worlds now. Even if they are to merge, it will take a long time, possibly hundreds of years or even thousands of years. Therefore, our top priority is to try our best to make more preparations, including personal strength and means, as well as personnel reserves. This is why I am trying my best to win over Fellow Daoist Han. After all, with one more combined cultivator, the protective power of this city will be stronger." Jin Yue changed the subject and comforted the old man surnamed Gu instead.

But a major event like the demonic disaster cannot be comforted by just a few words. The old man surnamed Gu and the scarred young man still looked worried.

Jin Yue knew that these two people needed time to digest this shocking news, so he turned his gaze to Ye Ming again.

“Fellow Daoist Ye, since Han Li ascended from the same human world as you, and you two are familiar with each other, I wonder…”

Ye Ming knew what the old monk meant by his expectant look, but he still shook his head. "My junior brother has his own ideas. When he wants to come, he will come without an invitation. When he doesn't want to come, it will be useless no matter how much you invite him. I won't get involved in this matter. You can try again."
