Mortal: I can enter the spirit world at the beginning

Although the face of this female cultivator from Xiaoji Palace was covered, she looked at the broken ice in front of her with a cold gaze, and without saying a word, she flashed away and disappeared in the wind and snow a moment later.

A hundred miles away, a two-meter-tall monster with a bull's head and a human body was walking alone on a crystal clear ice lake with its two feet on the ground. It had a pair of pitch-black curved horns on its head, and its fur was flashing blue light. But on its shoulder was a huge sword half the size of a wheel, and it was moving forward with its butt twisting. It looked a little clumsy and ridiculous.

However, if a human cultivator saw this monster, he would probably not be able to laugh.

Because this is actually a level seven monster that is about to transform.

And because the no-fly ban on Beiming Island is fully activated, except for those monsters above level eight, which can ignore the ban and continue to fly, other monsters can only walk slowly to reach Xiaoji Palace.

Therefore, this monster, which was obviously not very proficient in the art of escape, could only move forward step by step honestly.

Suddenly, the huge blade on the shoulder of the bull-headed monster trembled slightly, as if something disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar sounded beside it, and then a shrill scream came from the depths of the lake, echoing in the cold air.

A sharp knife mark several feet wide and two meters long strangely appeared on the surface of the glacier, as if it had cut through the deep ice layer, making it impossible to peek into its depth.

At this time, the bull-headed monster slowly turned its head and glanced at the sharp knife mark.

In the blink of an eye, a large amount of blood suddenly gushed out from the knife wound, and along with the blood, a small half of the body slowly floated on the ice.

Judging from the corpse's clothing, he was a male disciple of Xiaoji Palace.

Apparently, he had intended to use the water escape technique to hide under the ice and prepare to launch a sneak attack on a passing monster, but he was unexpectedly seen through by this seemingly stupid level seven monster and was ultimately dealt a fatal blow.

A trace of ferocity flashed in the monster's eyes. It grabbed the air with one hand, and the half of the corpse flew into its hand in an instant as if pulled by an invisible force.

Then, it opened its mouth wide and started to eat the corpse.

In just a cup of tea, half of the corpse had completely entered the belly of the monster.

The bull-headed monster seemed very satisfied with the meal. It rubbed its belly, then raised the giant blade on its shoulder and continued to stride forward.

Similar scenes of killing were happening all over the Beiming Island. Either the low-level monsters were killed by ambushing, or the monks from Xiaoji Palace were killed and devoured by the monsters.

However, the attackers on both sides were all low-level monsters and cultivators below the Jindan stage. The Yuanying stage cultivators and level eight monsters seemed to turn a blind eye to the fights. One side simply hid in the Ice City and refused to come out, while the other side flew directly over the wind and snow, not caring about anything happening below.

It's not that these high-level monsters don't want to kill these low-level monks of Xiaoji Palace, but now they are under the no-fly restriction, and it is not an easy task to search for those monks of Xiaoji Palace who are proficient in various escape techniques in the wind and snow.

Some Xiaoji Palace monks also carry some special magical instruments that can conceal their aura, making it even more difficult to detect them.

Even if they occasionally killed a few monks, it would have no effect on the overall situation. It would be better to save mana and use it in the upcoming real battle.

After all, when it comes to a life-and-death struggle, even a small amount of mana is extremely precious.

Just as the monsters were gradually approaching the Ice City, in a hall somewhere in the Hanli Secret Realm, the beautiful woman named Liu was sitting on a jade chair in the hall. In front of her sat two rows of Nascent Soul-level elders of the Xiaoji Palace. She was quietly listening to a palace disciple in white clothes reporting on the situation of sending disciples to stop the monsters.

"...Among the one hundred high-level disciples sent out this time, thirty-seven of their natal tablets have been extinguished. We have obtained accurate information that a total of one hundred and twenty-eight monsters of various ranks have been killed, most of which were Ice Sea monsters. Now the second team of disciples has also been sent out. It is expected that in an hour, they should be able to meet up with the first group of disciples and make contact with those monsters." The disciple said respectfully.

"Thirty-seven disciples have been killed. It seems that the time is almost up. They should all be within a hundred thousand miles of Ice City. Notify Elder Ye to start using the Sea-Suppressing Bell in one hour! This time, we must severely damage the low-level monsters in the Ice Sea. Otherwise, these cannon fodders will be a big trouble when they attack our Xiaoji Palace." The beautiful woman surnamed Liu gave the order without blinking when she heard this.

"Yes, Palace Master!" Upon hearing this, an elder with white hair and a childish face immediately raised one hand and shot out a transmission note, then circled and flew out of the palace.

"Junior Brother Ding, activate all the restriction formations. I think if we use this treasure, those high-level monsters in the Ice Sea will go crazy out of grief." The beautiful woman named Liu gave the order calmly.

"Yes!" Another elder stood up and agreed, turning into a ray of light and walking out.

"Also, notify the disciples who are leaving the city to be careful. The effect of the Zhenhai Bell can only last for one incense stick of time at most, and it will fall dormant for more than a hundred years once it is used. Once this time is over, all disciples must return to the city immediately and close all secret teleportation arrays immediately to prevent monsters from using it to invade this palace..." The beautiful woman surnamed Liu gave orders in an orderly manner.

"Yes, sir!" said a big man with sparse hair on his head, bowing.

After the beautiful woman surnamed Liu gave a series of orders, figures swayed one after another, and one by one the Nascent Soul cultivators followed the orders and went out.

Almost at the same time, hundreds of miles away from the Ice City, a large group of high-level monsters all arrived at the same place and landed on a small iceberg.

Ahead was the area covered by the Xiaoji Palace's great formation. Looking at the vast white mist, all the transformed monsters had solemn expressions on their faces. This group of monsters was clearly divided into two groups. One group had only a dozen or so, surrounding an old man and a young child, one tall and one short. The other group had more than twenty, surrounding a slender woman in a silver shirt.

But the strange thing was that the smaller group of monsters were all neatly dressed, and except for their strange appearances, their behaviors were exactly the same as those of human cultivators. And there was even a hint of contempt in the way they looked at the other group of monsters.

The other group of monsters, which was larger in number, all had hideous looks and most of them were wearing simple clothing such as furs, and some were even shirtless.

They also carried some swords, knives, axes and halberds that looked like weapons, either on their backs or in their hands. Although they had storage bags made of animal skins around their waists, for some reason they did not put the weapons in them.

Each of this group of monsters exuded a ferocious aura, and the eyes they looked at the other group of monsters were not very kind.

The two groups of monsters stood on both sides of the top of the iceberg, with a clear boundary between them, and they seemed to be incompatible.

However, if an unknown monk accidentally passed by here and saw these two groups of monsters, he would probably be scared and run away immediately.
Because this group of monsters are all transformed monsters above level eight, and the old man, the young child, and the woman in silver shirt are even level ten monsters.

Such a powerful force is probably more powerful than most of the ten major sects of righteousness and evil.

What's more, high-level monsters seem to be several times stronger than cultivators of the same level.

The old man in a white robe among the monsters had a square and majestic face, sparkling eyes, and a head of gray hair with a faint green glow, which gave people a feeling of awe without even being angry.

The boy, who looked to be only six or seven years old, had delicate features and looked like a fairy from heaven, but his eyes were slightly red, as if a layer of blood covered his pupils, but there was always a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

As for the woman in silver shirt on the other side, she had an elegant appearance and skin as white as snow. She was actually a stunning beauty with a stunning appearance.

However, just by turning her eyes slightly, the ferocious and extremely high-level monsters surrounding her nearby all lowered their heads and dared not look at her directly, looking extremely terrified.

"Feng Xianzi, I didn't expect that these human cultivators from Xiaoji Palace would be so willing to take action and release all the cold air that has accumulated on the island for nearly a thousand years at once. If Xiaoji Palace encounters any powerful enemy in the future, I want to see how they deal with it." The old man suddenly said with a chuckle.

"Brother Daoist Qing, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer? We are not here to attack the cold marrow this time. The human cultivators in Xiaoji Palace don't know this. They will naturally fight desperately against the enemy and use all their magic weapons. Otherwise, once we attack us, even if they have stored up more cold energy, it will be of no use." The woman named Yinshan's expression changed, and she replied coldly.

"However, I am really surprised that Fellow Daoist Feng would come out in person this time! But I heard that the fairy had been in seclusion two thousand years ago and never left Bingyuan Island." The child also spoke, but his voice was unusually old, as if he were a seventy-year-old man, which was totally inconsistent with his appearance and extremely weird.

“If it’s other matters, I naturally won’t be interested. But since it’s about ascending to the spiritual world, how can this island master be at ease and just let his men do it. Didn’t fellow Daoist send his incarnation out personally?” The silver-shirted woman turned her gaze to the child and said calmly.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the fairy would agree so immediately after I mentioned this. This is really beyond my expectation! It seems that Fellow Daoist Feng has been dissatisfied with this Xiaoji Palace for a long time and has long wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the lineage of cultivators left in the human world by the former Fairy Bingpo. Speaking of which, this time it was Fellow Daoist Feng who borrowed the power of our Ten Thousand Demons Valley!" The young boy narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

“In the past, before the Ice Soul Fairy ascended to heaven, she used her great magical powers to freeze the Ice Abyss Island for a hundred years, forcing the cultivators of my lineage, Xiaoji Palace, to give way. But now so many years have passed, and the matter of ascending to the spiritual world is involved. Maybe we will have no choice but to take action once. Brother Che has spent a lot of effort in cultivating this incarnation. If it is damaged, aren’t you afraid that the loss will outweigh the gain?” The silver-shirted woman said indifferently, without any worldly airs in her expression or behavior.

"Hehe! Just like what Fellow Daoist Feng said, this trip is of great importance. As long as I can get accurate information, I will be willing to suffer great losses. But I didn't expect that the most likely surviving space node in the human world in the past is actually within the space crack torn by the Xu Ling Hall of Xiaoji Palace. If I hadn't sent people to investigate several times and finally confirmed that it was correct, I would not have acted rashly. After all, Xiaoji Palace is not weak and cannot be easily killed." The boy said after a strange laugh.

"Only in the space cracks that can accommodate a behemoth like the Void Spirit Palace can the space nodes be preserved stably until now. I heard from Brother Che that we have searched the other places but found nothing. If we still find nothing this time, what are your plans for the future, fellow Daoist?" The silver-shirted woman's eyes flashed.

"It's very simple. Just keep looking for the space nodes. The ancient monks could find them by themselves, so why can't I? It will just take a little longer at most." The boy was silent for a while and replied with a sneer.

"But it seems that we don't have much time left. I heard that you are the descendant of some ancient monster in the spirit world. Not only do you have amazing magical powers, but your lifespan is also much longer than that of ordinary monsters. But after so many years, I'm afraid you are similar to me and have already started to use secret techniques to seal your true body to prolong your lifespan."

"Since Fairy Feng knew about this, why would she consult the advisor?" The boy's face darkened, as if he had been touched in a sore spot.

“But this kind of self-deception cannot be sustained for much longer. I received news from Wulonghai a few days ago that the old monster White Deer has passed away. He is also a descendant of the spiritual beast of heaven and earth. He has also cultivated to great perfection since the ancient war. He will never use his real body unless his life is in danger. But even so, he has only been able to survive until now, and he cannot avoid returning to the cycle of reincarnation.” The silver-shirted woman sighed and glanced at the forbidden formation in the distance. A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

"So, as long as the location of the space node can be determined, I will take the risk no matter how dangerous it is. If Brother Bai is willing, we might as well join forces to try it." A strange light flashed on the boy's face, and he suddenly said this to the woman.

"Let's wait until Brother Che finds the space node before we talk about this matter. The small palace in front of us may not be so easy to break." The woman in silver shirt had an expression of noncommittal.

"Please rest assured, Fairy Feng. In the past, we in the Wan Yao Valley attacked the Xiaoji Palace alone. We broke through the opponent's ice city several times, forcing the human cultivators to hide in the Xu Ling Palace. This time, with the help of fellow Taoists, it will not be a problem. But after the opponent uses the Xu Ling Palace to tear through space and escape, we will have to rely on your magical powers." The old man said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry about this. We, the Ice Phoenix clan, are born with a certain ability to tear through space. We won't let you down." The woman in silver shirt said with a faint smile.

At this time, although the other transformed monsters nearby heard the conversation between the three people clearly, no one dared to interrupt their conversation. It seemed that they all forgot to speak at home.

The boy smiled slightly, and when he opened his mouth to say something, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up into the distance. (End of this chapter)
