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

In the bedroom.

After a fierce fight, Ye Ming and Ye Lingyun were together, each of them using strange magic formulas to activate their own magic power, which sometimes flowed through their own bodies through the combined parts, and sometimes absorbed a large amount of magic power from the other party to temper themselves.

This process lasted for a long time before both sides slowly came to an end.

Ye Lingyun slightly opened her eyes, silently felt the changes in her body, and her eyes lit up, "You know what, your secret technique really seems to be useful!"

"Really?" Ye Ming didn't feel much. What they just practiced was a secret technique to help break through the bottleneck. This thing was useless to him now, and he couldn't feel it.

"Really, I feel that the bottleneck that has troubled me for many years seems to have undergone extremely subtle changes. If I were not clear enough about my physical condition, I would not be able to sense this change. Although it is subtle, it is already a huge improvement compared to the previous situation that has remained unchanged for thousands of years." Ye Lingyun said with joy.

"Haha, as long as it works, this secret technique is not a one-time thing. If you practice more in the future, there may be other changes." Ye Ming smiled.

"Hehe, that's true. The magic power in your body is so strong, at least ten times more than mine. Even if this secret technique is useless, the impact of these magic powers alone can help me break through the bottleneck! It seems that it was a very correct decision for me to disregard shame and make up my mind to find you!" Ye Lingyun put her jade arms around Ye Ming's neck and twisted her lower body.

Ye Ming understood and moved in coordination.

"Oh, that's exactly what I want to say!"

"Hahaha, this is my specialty..."

"But I like...

After another exciting battle, Ye Lingyun rested her chin on Ye Ming's shoulder.

"I want to go back."

"Ok!"

"Have you heard of the Pure Spirit Lotus?"

"Is it the kind of holy object that can purify the magic power in the body and has the miraculous effect of assisting in breaking through the bottleneck of Mahayana?" Ye Ming asked with an idea in his mind.

"Well, during the Wanbao Conference, the Saint Qianqiu of the Qi Ling Clan found me and said..." Ye Lingyun leaned on Ye Ming and calmly narrated some information about the Demon Realm's Soul Washing Pool.

Ye Ming had learned some of these things when he was reading books before, but they were far less detailed than what Ye Lingyun said. However, he still listened with great interest.

After Ye Lingyun finished speaking, seeing that Ye Ming had no reaction, she patted his shoulder with one hand and said angrily: "I'm asking you a question. Do you want to go to the Demon Realm Soul Washing Pool with us?"

"No! Besides, I advise you not to go either." Ye Ming said firmly.

"Ah, why?" Ye Lingyun sat up in surprise, two red spots swaying in front of Ye Ming's eyes.

"You are doomed to die if you go! There is absolutely no way you will come back alive." Ye Ming stretched out his hand and said lightly.

"We haven't even gone there yet, how do you know there's no possibility of survival? You know, that's the hope of advancing to the Mahayana stage. Can you resist such a great temptation?" The girl didn't believe what Ye Ming said at all.

After thinking about it, Ye Ming quickly made up an excuse, "I have had an encounter with a Saint Ancestor's soul from the Demon Realm, and learned some information about the Soul Washing Pool from him. The actual situation is somewhat similar to what you said, but you don't know the key point."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Ye Lingyun moved.

"Do you think that only people in the Spirit World know that the Demon World has a Spirit Washing Pool?"

"Is there anyone else?"

“Hehe, at least the powerful people in the dozen or so realms near the Spirit World and the Demon World know about this, and there are more than one group of people who have been to the Spirit Washing Pool. But…”

"But what?" Ye Lingyun became nervous.

"Only a few people were able to successfully return, only one in ten survived, and the vast majority of the others died there."

"Ah, is there any danger in the Spirit Washing Pond? If someone wants to take the Spirit Purifying Lotus in the Spirit Washing Pond, they must have at least my level of cultivation, and there are multiple people going together. In this situation, how could there be such a large number of casualties?"

"Hehe, your level of cultivation is nothing! Do you know the three ancestors of the demon world?" Ye Ming sneered.

"I've heard a little bit about it. Could this danger be related to the three great ancestors?" "You guessed right this time. Outside the Soul Washing Pool, there is always an ancestor stationed nearby. Anyone who wants to enter the Soul Washing Pool cannot escape their surveillance. And the three great ancestors of the Demon Realm are basically in the middle and late stages of the Mahayana, and are about to enter the tribulation period. Even the two Mahayana from our human and demon races could not survive a few moves in front of them. It is not an easy task to kill several of you combined cultivators." Ye Ming said with a grin, and he tried his best to make the situation sound more serious.

"This..." Ye Lingyun was speechless.

"In addition, there is one most important piece of news that you don't know."

"what's the message?"

"That is, although taking the Pure Spirit Lotus in the Spirit Cleansing Pool can greatly improve your cultivation in a short period of time, the chance of being promoted to the Mahayana stage in the future is only one in ten. And if you fail, you will face serious consequences."

Ye Ming paused here and patted the other person's buttocks.

"What are the consequences?" Ye Lingyun understood.

"Hehe, if the advancement fails, this person will lose the possibility of further advancement from now on. In other words, no matter what method is used in the future, it will not be possible to break through the bottleneck of the Mahayana period."

"This is actually happening!" Ye Lingyun was shocked.

"Now, do you still want to go?" Ye Ming looked at her with a smile.

Ye Lingyun remained silent, thinking for a long time with an uncertain expression, and then sat down dejectedly.

"I thought it was a great opportunity, but I didn't expect it to be like this..."

But then, she immediately became energetic again and patted Ye Ming's chest, "Get moving. Since I can't go to the Spiritual Pool, then my hope of breaking through to the late stage lies in you. Don't let me down."

"Haha, as you wish..."

Ye Lingyun stayed at Ye Ming's place for three days and three nights before leaving with great satisfaction. Seeing her rosy face, it was unknown how many years she hadn't experienced this.

After she left, the practice of the Nirvana Holy Spirit Secret Art naturally fell on Ye Ying.

This woman seems a little eccentric, but she is completely the opposite when she is practicing. She is very well-behaved and doesn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary. She is nothing like Ye Lingyun.

However, Ye Ming did not have any requirements for him. He only wanted the effect of this secret technique, and everything else was secondary.

In the following time, Ye Ming spent most of his time practicing, taking elixirs to accumulate mana and grow his soul, and in between he also practiced dual cultivation of his physical body.

The internal affairs of the Linghuang Palace were basically handed over to Liu Yingjin, while the affairs related to Tianmiao City and major cities in the territory were handed over to Lin Miaoyun and Mo Chenyuan.

The original management framework of the entire Tianmiao Realm remained basically unchanged. Some of the vacant positions were filled by the remaining fusion cultivators, while the other parts were replaced by several cultivators in the late stage of the refining void.

Everything is running smoothly without any major problems.

After practicing and practicing again, seven hundred years passed quickly...

For the vast spiritual world, several hundred years may be just a blink of an eye.

But for the human race, these seven hundred years have brought about earth-shaking changes.

Hundreds of years later, the three realms of the human race are now filled with groups of armored soldiers and huge fortress-like cities.

With these giant cities as the center, magical arrays and prohibitions of various styles are spread everywhere like a spider web, surrounding the cities layer by layer, enough to make enemies who attempt to attack despair.

The high-level cultivators who were rarely seen before began to appear frequently in front of mortals, organizing those mortal body cultivators or low-level cultivators to build various formations and defense lines.

As for those mortal body cultivators, after the crazy expansion of major forces in recent years, the number has increased more than ten times, and they are all equipped with sophisticated spiritual tools far superior to before.

As for other mortals who could not even practice body-refining techniques, they were organized by specialized personnel to teach them some mortal martial arts so that they could strengthen their bodies and have some self-protection capabilities.

All of this is voluntary, whether for mortals or monks.
