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

After Mingzun and Yan Yang left the palace, Ye Ming's smile faded. His eyes flickered for a while before he sneered, "Hehe, the Jiaochi tribe..."

Thinking carefully about the actions of the elder from the Jiaochi tribe, Ye Ming believed that the other party's admitting his mistake was nothing more than a temporary measure.

As a race that has dominated the spiritual world for countless thousands of years, it is impossible for them to admit defeat easily. Not to mention that Ye Ming is not yet a true immortal. Even if a true immortal descended, such a super race would not have the courage to plan an attack.

Their current forbearance might just be a preparation for future attacks. As for a big clan like this, if they find any opportunity, they will have absolutely no mercy and turn against him at the first opportunity.

For example, if Ye Ming was gone one day, whether he ascended to heaven, or was trapped or killed by others, the Jiao Chi tribe would definitely retaliate immediately. At that time, not only the close people, but also the entire human race would be in calamity.

Therefore, in the long run, the Jiao Chi tribe cannot be kept.

However, there is no need to trouble them for the time being. According to the inertia of history, when Ma Liang arrives, the Jiaochi tribe should still be in trouble.

If it was really like in the original novel, for various reasons, Ma Liang approached the Jiao Chi tribe and destroyed their worshipping spirits and most of the Mahayana elders, then everything would be easy. At that time, Ye Ming would not have to take action, and naturally countless people would go looking for trouble with this race.

If the life trajectory of Bingfeng had changed, and the six-winged Bingfeng and the other two had not taken Ma Liang to the Jiaochi tribe, thus allowing them to escape, then they could find another excuse to destroy them afterwards.

After thinking for a moment, a golden light flashed on Ye Ming's body and he disappeared in the hall.

Next, Ye Ming went to another palace and met with Mahayana monks from the Shadow Clan, Spirit Clan, Wood Clan and Yaksha Clan.

These races are located in the northwest corner of Fengyuan Continent with the human race. For countless thousands of years, they have had various grievances. They have attacked each other when they are hostile, but they have also worked together when facing the demons or other alien races. It can be said that they are both enemies and friends.

Now, with the appearance of Ye Ming and his Taoist companions, the demons were driven out of the human and demon territories in one fell swoop. However, a large number of demons still attacked and plundered the territories of these races, causing a large number of casualties and making their tribes suffer terribly.

In recent years, Ye Ming was not the only one who sneaked into the demon world. The Mahayana of the Shadow Clan also sneaked into the demon world not long ago. There, he accidentally heard about Ye Ming's horrifying deeds.

So, as soon as this person returned to the spiritual world, he immediately summoned the Mahayana monks from several tribes to find Ye Ming.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, the Great Master of the Wood Clan couldn't wait to ask:

"Fellow Daoist Ye, Fellow Daoist Ying just came back from the Demon Realm and said that you went on a killing spree in the Demon Realm and killed hundreds of Demon Saints. Is this true?"

Ye Ming glanced at an invisible dark golden shadow sitting on a wooden chair and nodded, "Yes, Ye did do this!"

Since this Mahayana master of the Shadow Clan had personally been to the Demon Realm, he couldn't hide it, so he simply admitted it.

"Then, Fellow Daoist Ye, do you think that the Demon Realm still dares to send the Holy Ancestor's real body to our spiritual world?" The Yaksha clan's Mahayana ancestor with a pair of blood-red flesh wings asked anxiously.

"Needless to say, if it were you, with a demon saint killing people here, would you dare to go to the demon world to seek death?" Mo Jianli replied as a matter of course. He and Ao Xiao accompanied the Shadow Clan before Ye Ming came here.

"In that case, we can kill those demon cubs at will without worrying about the real bodies of the saints coming to settle the score!" The one who came from the spirit clan was not the Spirit King, but another Mahayana being.

"That's the theory." Ye Ming nodded.

"Hahaha, good, very good!" The Mahayana of the Wood Clan laughed in ecstasy.

In this way, the evil disaster can be eliminated in a snap!

The other few people also smiled with joy.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, our clan's Spirit King admires you very much. When I came out, he specifically told me that if you are free, you should come to our clan in a few years to discuss something with us." The Spirit Clan leader extended an invitation to Ye Ming angrily.

"You are too kind, fellow Daoist. I am just lucky. The Spirit King's cultivation and magical powers are unfathomable. He has dominated the spirit world for millions of years. What I have seen and heard is far beyond what I can compare to. If I have to say who I admire, it is I who admire the Spirit King. Since the Spirit King has invited me, I will definitely go." Ye Ming agreed without hesitation. Then, these foreign Mahayana masters expressed their admiration for Ye Ming one after another, and they were trying to test Ye Ming's attitude towards them, to see if Ye Ming had the intention to annex their tribe's territory.

Ye Ming eased their concerns with a joke.

After sending these people away, Ye Ming went to meet another group of guests. They were all acquaintances of Ye Ming, such as people from the Feiling Clan and the Tianyun Clan...

In the following time, Ye Ming stayed with his close ones, and gave each of them careful guidance, either bestowing them with treasure materials, or solving their doubts about cultivation and so on.

Several months later, Ye Ming had finally finished dealing with all the trivial matters and was finally ready to begin his first real retreat after advancing to the Mahayana stage.

Inside the Brahma Palace, in a secret room filled with numerous protective prohibitions, Ye Ming sat cross-legged on the ground, playing with a crystal stone in his hand.

A closer look revealed that the object was the size of a fist and was crystal black all over. It was the only black crystal left after the mother of the borer was killed by the five-colored thunder.

After countless divine sense investigations and some foresight, he has confirmed that this thing is exactly what was left behind by the mother of borers after she injected all the essence in her body into the demon core before facing destruction.

Generally speaking, after using this method, a powerful demon insect like the Mother of Stem Borers will take the opportunity to hide a wisp of its residual soul inside it to avoid the disaster at hand.

This is the case with the little girl in the ancient seal!

However, at this moment, whether it was the mother of the corn borer or the true immortal woman, their spirits and souls had truly melted away.

Even if this crystal core really has a certain miraculous effect in resisting attacks, it is still unavoidable when facing the strongest heavenly thunder like the Thunder of Punishment.

The powerful force of the Thunder of Punishment had already swept through everything inside the crystal core, destroying all the remaining souls hidden inside.

Even the crystal core itself was partially melted. If Ye Ming hadn't deliberately controlled it, it would have melted most of it. He vaguely remembered that in the original book, when He Kang used the Thunder of Punishment to kill the True Immortal woman, the crystal stone left behind was not very big, and it should be much smaller than the one in his hand.

He originally prepared this item for the gold-eating bugs, but after exploration, he found that the essence of the mother bug inside the crystal stone was also of great help to him in body refining.

After thinking it over, he decided to keep some of it as a backup.

After making up his mind, a golden light flashed on Ye Ming's hand, and a golden sword energy shot out, cutting a corner of the crystal.

With a clang, the sword energy cut through, leaving only a white mark on the surface of the crystal, which was completely intact. This shows how hard it is. You know, with Ye Ming's current cultivation strength, a sword energy he casually triggered is enough to cause some trouble to an ordinary Mahayana cultivator.

Then, a flash of light appeared in Ye Ming's other hand, and a golden dagger appeared.

As the magic power rushed into his body, the short sword shone with dazzling golden light, and an extremely sharp aura spread out, causing a pricking sensation on the skin.

With a flick of his wrist, the golden sword turned its blade and slashed at the crystal stone.

With a "pop" sound, the crystal broke at one corner.

He reached out and caught a small piece of crystal that had fallen. It was only the size of a walnut and accounted for about a quarter of the entire crystal. A huge and extremely pure energy emanated from the broken edge, causing the surrounding void to buzz.

Ye Ming's face changed, and his fingers immediately moved like wheels. He pinched his fingers and emitted golden light. He set up heavy seals on the two crystals to prevent the energy from spilling out.

This thing is the essence of the insect mother, and the loss of even a tiny bit will make people feel sad for a long time.
