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

Suddenly, golden and red lights flashed above the Linghuang Palace, and the figures of Ye Ming and Ye Lingyun appeared there.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Spiritual Emperor!" Bai Guoer bowed hastily.

"You two fellow Daoists Ye seem to be having a very pleasant exchange. If this magic spot hadn't appeared, you wouldn't have planned to come out, right?" Lin Miaoyun said unhappily.

After years of getting along, Lin Miaoyun had already figured out Ye Ming's temper and knew that saying this would both put pressure on Ye Ming and not make him angry.

"Hehe, if Sister Miaoyun agrees, we can communicate together." Ye Lingyun teased with a sweet smile, and her look was full of endless charm.

"Bah, who wants to communicate with you?" Lin Miaoyun spat. She already knew exactly what the two people above were talking about, so how could she not know what Ye Lingyun meant at this moment!
Ye Ming did not respond, but looked at the gray spots in the distance with flickering eyes. At the same time, he released a huge divine sense to explore farther places.

He immediately discovered that there was also a gray spot ten thousand miles away, and there seemed to be similar space fluctuations eighty or ninety thousand miles away.

In such a large human area, there are three magic spots appearing in Tianmiao City alone. No wonder this city was captured in the original book.

These magic spots are actually the weak spots in space where the demon world and the spirit world meet. At that time, the Mahayana saints of the demon world will open interface channels at the magic spots and continuously transport the creatures from the demon world over.

Under the endless attacks of monsters, the defense force of Tianmiao City in the original novel is absolutely unable to defend itself.

But things are different in this world.

"Miaoyun, how is the collection of materials for the formation that I asked you to collect going?" Ye Ming retracted his gaze and looked at Lin Miaoyun.

"Hmph, it's already this time, who would easily sell those rare materials? I've been running around outside for decades, spending a huge price, and only got a set of materials for the Star Array. You have to reward me well." Lin Miaoyun said dissatisfiedly, and took the credit from Ye Ming.

"Only one set? That's not bad. We have collected materials for more than dozens of Star Arrays and Five Elements Samsara Arrays. In addition to distributing one set to each major city below, the rest are enough for our city to use." Ye Ming said thoughtfully.

Seven hundred years ago, when Ye Ming had just become the Spirit Emperor, he asked his subordinates to collect various rare materials for making talismans, refining treasures and forming formations.

At that time, the news of the demonic calamity had not yet spread on a large scale, and the various forces had not yet strictly controlled the materials in their jurisdiction.

With the joint efforts of more than a dozen combined monks, they collected more than twenty sets of formation materials in the first hundred years.

As for the materials for refining talismans and magic weapons, there are even more.

Now, in Ye Ming's jurisdiction, almost every combined cultivator who came to him had accumulated a dozen or so talismans of various attack, defense and auxiliary types. Each of them had at least one famous Tongtian Lingbao on the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits List.

Lin Miaoyun, Mo Chenyuan and other people who collected materials at the beginning had more of these things on them.

Now, each of them is full of confidence when facing other monks. They have powerful trump cards in their hands and are not afraid of anyone.

At this time, many people in Tianmiao City had already discovered the magic spots in the sky in the distance, and they were running around shouting. The whole city became tense in an instant, and no matter whether it was mortals or cultivators, their hearts were shrouded in a layer of haze.

After Ye Ming appeared for a while, Mo Chenyuan, Yan Ce, Liu Yingjin and others also came over.

Seeing so many people around, Lin Miaoyun looked serious and said, "Lord Spiritual Emperor, since the demon spot has already descended, should we set up some magic arrays there? When those demon cubs come over, we can give them a surprise."

"This proposal is feasible. The demonic spots have just appeared, and the erosion of the demon world has just begun. It will take at least half a year for the power of the interface to be weak enough to allow the demons to invade the spirit world. This amount of time is enough to prepare and set up a number of strong magic arrays. You should immediately summon the array masters and start setting up the relevant magic arrays right away." Ye Ming nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then I'll take my leave first. Remember the reward you gave me." After Lin Miaoyun said this, she flew away in a flash.

Ye Ming turned to Yan Ce and said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, you must contact the important people outside immediately and ask them to return to the main city as soon as possible. Once the demons come, those Daoists who are outside will have little hope of returning alive."

"Yes, I understand." Yan Ce cupped his hands, moved his body, and turned into a white rainbow and shot out of the palace.

"Chen Yuan, you go and inspect all the major cities down there and have them be prepared to deal with the demons at any time. Also, try to come back within four months. If you haven't finished your inspection within the time limit, don't worry about it and just come back."

"I see. I'll go then."

"Wang Mu, go to the city to appease those foreign dependents and gather them together to give them a few more training sessions."

"Ying Jin, you will organize all the personnel in the palace and have them contribute spirit stones and manpower to strengthen the energy supply of various formations."

...Just like this, Ye Ming gave instructions to the managers in the Fusion or Refining Void stages one by one, asking them to make final preparations before the war.

A similar scene is also taking place in the northwest corner of Fengyun Continent.

Gray magic spots appeared to a greater or lesser extent in the three realms of the human race, the seven realms of the demon race, the wood race, the Yaksha race, the shadow race, and other territories.

Countless cities immediately launched a general mobilization, gathering manpower, reinforcing magic arrays, preparing large-scale killing weapons, etc.

A sense of oppression as if a storm was about to come weighed on the hearts of every member of the human race in the brief moment that these magic spots appeared.

……

Tianyuan City, Feiyun Peak, inside Ye Ming’s previous cave, in a spacious and comfortable quiet room.

The incarnation was holding a milky white jade plate in his hand, staring intently at the tadpole-like characters on it, his brows furrowed, trying to comprehend the meaning behind it.

Over the years, Ye Ming's comprehension of a few pages of the Golden Palace Jade Book has made rapid progress mainly because several Nascent Souls are doing the same thing at the same time.

Before, except for his main body cultivation which had not reached the peak of the late stage, the other several Nascent Souls had all reached the peak of the late stage of fusion.

Unable to cultivate their magic power and physical body, apart from occasionally cultivating their spirits, they spend most of their time comprehending a few pages of the Golden Palace and Jade Book, delving deeper and deeper into the art of talismans, refining equipment, alchemy, and formations, and they can come up with a lot of things in almost every aspect.

Then, every once in a while, several incarnations would meet up with Ye Ming's original body and assimilate all they had learned and understood into the original body.

In this way, it is equivalent to several people comprehending at the same time, and the efficiency is increased several times, which is why Ye Ming has made breakthroughs in many aspects.

At this moment, the incarnation's frown suddenly jumped, and he looked up abruptly somewhere with a look of surprise.

"Who is so bold as to attack my cave!" He roared angrily, and after a flash of golden light, he disappeared from the quiet room.

Outside the cave, a bare-footed woman in a white dress was floating gracefully in the air, her beautiful eyes looking at the colorful mist in front of her with interest.

A few feet behind the woman, an ugly man in black armor stood with his hands behind his back.

Suddenly, the woman's eyes flashed, and she said with her red lips slightly parted, "Little Crocodile, do you understand the name of this cloud in front of you?"

“Your Excellency the Holy Ancestor, I can’t tell what’s going on. But based on the information obtained from soul searching, this is just a cave dwelling of a holy-level human. I think no matter how powerful the magic array is, it can’t stop Your Excellency the Holy Ancestor.” The ugly man in black armor stared at the clouds and mist for several seconds, then shook his head to indicate that he didn’t know.

"Hehe, Saint level? If you think so, you are totally wrong. This cloud of mist actually contains several extremely powerful magic arrays. The power is truly extraordinary, enough to stop ordinary Mahayana cultivators." The woman in white dress smiled.

“It’s so powerful! Then we…” The big man in black armor was surprised.

"Didn't I say that? That's for the general Mahayana. As for me, haha."

The woman in the white dress stretched out her tender white palm, and suddenly a pink exotic flower appeared in her palm. The petals were light, and each petal seemed to be condensed from the purest spiritual power, exuding a faint fragrance, gorgeous and charming.

With a light toss, the pink exotic flower flashed, and in a flash it reached the sky above the colorful clouds, and suddenly it shone brightly.

As the petals trembled gently, countless tiny pink spots of light overflowed from the flowers, dotted in the void like stars, dazzling and bright.

These light spots quickly gathered together to form pink beams that shot lightly into the rolling five-colored clouds below.

"Boom..."

A series of earth-shaking noises rang out from the five-colored clouds, and countless flames, hail, lightning, huge rocks, etc. flashed out, frantically attacking the incoming pink beam of light.

But these beams of light were incredibly powerful, cutting through all obstacles like sharp blades. Wherever they passed, the colorful clouds dissipated, revealing a clear and bright scene behind them.
