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

After practicing the technique for a few more cycles, consolidating his cultivation and becoming familiar with controlling his surging strength, Ye Ming came out of seclusion.

Afterwards, he simply packed up the spiritual insects, spiritual beasts, and spiritual medicines in the cave and took them out.

Over the years, the incarnation has already established a firm foothold in the Tianpeng clan, and has returned to the cave several times to help Ye Ming assimilate his second Nascent Soul.

Therefore, the two already had a means of communicating with each other and had agreed on a meeting place.

Inside a small, inconspicuous hill with thin spiritual energy, there is a secret room thousands of miles deep in the mountain.

Ye Ming saw the incarnation that he hadn’t seen for twenty or thirty years.

As soon as they met, Ye Ming pinched a magic formula with one hand, and the next moment, a golden light flashed above the incarnation's head, and the second Yuanying flew out and entered Ye Ming's Dantian.

After a while, the second Nascent Soul returned to the body.

From the assimilation just now, Ye Ming learned that although the incarnation received good treatment in the Tianpeng clan, he had never entered their core and had not been able to obtain the Twelve Changes of Jingzhe.

Moreover, according to the incarnation's premonition, the combined elder of the Tianpeng tribe seemed to have discovered the fact that he was a member of another tribe, but for some reason, he did not expose him.

In this case, Ye Ming arranged for his incarnation to stay and continue practicing in the Tianpeng clan to see if there was any opportunity.

However, in order to prevent the second Nascent Soul from developing another independent consciousness, Ye Ming planted a mark inside this Nascent Soul and arranged for the incarnation to return to Tianyuan City once every thirty years to accept his assimilation.

After making the arrangements, Ye Ming left the secret room without saying a word and set out on the journey back to Tianyuan City.

……

Although Ye Ming set up dozens of ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays along the way from Tianyuan City to the Feiling Clan, it still took him five years to return to the outside of the city wall of Tianyuan City.

By the way, this method of setting up a teleportation array in the wilderness for traveling is actually not new.

In the history of cultivation in the spiritual world for so many years, Ye Ming is not the first, nor will he be the last.

However, since doing so requires a lot of financial resources, few people are willing to do so.

You know, even Ye Ming, who is extremely wealthy, does not have the ability to set up enough teleportation arrays. It is impossible to connect the entire route and achieve continuous teleportation. There is still a long distance between each teleportation array that requires the use of escape techniques to travel.

This is also the reason why Ye Ming took so long to return.

After stopping to look at the bright forbidden light of Tianyuan City a hundred miles away, Ye Ming moved and came to the sky above a low hill with ease, and then waited silently.

This is a place where the Tianyuan Guards often appear. He used to be a Qingming Guard, and after he finished his patrol, he would often wait here for the Tianyuan Guards to pick him up.

He believed that someone would arrive here soon.

Sure enough, just two days later, a group of monks flew over from the wilderness.

These people were all wearing exquisitely shaped battle armor, ten of them were black and one was blue. They were a team of Qingming Guards and Heitie Guards who had just returned from patrol.

When Ye Ming took a quick look with his mind, his eyebrows raised slightly, revealing a look of surprise.

This team of patrolling monks obviously also discovered Ye Ming's presence. The entire team immediately stopped their escape and entered combat status.

But only a moment later, there was a commotion in the crowd. The Qingming Guard who led the team stood out from the crowd and quickly flew towards Ye Ming. At the same time, a woman's voice came from afar:

"Senior Ye, it's really you!"

The Qingming Guard quickly flew in front of him, and the white light faded, revealing a pure woman with beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament.

Ye Ming looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and said with a smile: "Master Daoyou, long time no see. Congratulations on your great progress in cultivation!"

This woman was none other than his former subordinate, Shi Shi, but now she had reached the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage. "Senior Ye, it's great to see you again! How can my cultivation level compare to yours? You are truly admirable. I heard that you had advanced to the Void Refining Stage two or three hundred years ago. I guess you should have made further progress now. I can't even see your cultivation level now, haha!" Shi Shi was very happy to see Ye Ming, and chattered a lot.

"Haha, just a little progress, nothing to worry about!" Ye Ming waved his hand.

"Senior Ye is still so humble! By the way, are you free? I would like to invite you to Zuixianju for a gathering and invite a few acquaintances from the past so that I can thank you for your guidance." Shi Shi said with a smile.

Zuixianju is a famous restaurant in Tianyuan City. The dishes and drinks there are all made from high-level ancient beast ingredients. They taste extremely delicious and contain a lot of spiritual power. For ordinary people, they are considered luxury consumer products.

Ye Ming had been in Tianyuan City for so many years, so he naturally knew what Zuixianju was. However, he had little interest in it, so he shook his head and said, "It depends on the situation. I haven't been back for many years, so I have to go back to the cave to take a look."

"Oh, I'm too abrupt. How about one time?" Shi Shi stuck out her tongue and asked expectantly.

"Well, it's up to you!" Ye Ming agreed casually.

"Hehe, that's great!" Shi Shi smiled happily.

At this time, the ten Black Iron Guards also came to the hill and came forward to salute Ye Ming.

After these people had finished paying their respects, Shi Shi suddenly asked curiously, "Senior, I heard that you went to the wilderness a few years ago. I didn't expect that you would be there for so many years. I guess the adventure in the wilderness must have been very exciting, and you must have encountered many dangers, right? Can you tell me about it? I'm very interested in it."

"There's actually not much to say about this. The wild world is vast and boundless, and there are many dangers in it, but they mainly come from three aspects. One is a large number of ancient beasts with profound cultivation, the second is some natural Jedi, and the third is the monks of various races who go to the wild world for adventure. Specifically, it is..."

Ye Ming was in a good mood when he saw Shi Shi's pure and beautiful appearance. Besides, he had nothing to do, so he started to tell her story.

Of course, he only picked out some common things and mentioned them briefly without going too deep into them.

However, even so, Master Shi and the ten Black Iron Guards were fascinated by the story and wished they could be there in person. But when they heard the thrilling part, they couldn't help but shudder and wake up, realizing that they had no strength and entering the wilderness would only lead to death. What they heard today could only be used as a topic for bragging and chatting.

Just when everyone was listening with excitement, Ye Ming suddenly shut up.

Shi Shi was puzzled at first, but then she thought of something and turned around to take a look.

It turned out that at some point, white lights suddenly appeared in the air in front of the hill where they were.

Then, a white light array gradually took shape and a spatial wave spread out.

"The Tianyuan Guards have arrived!" Someone murmured.

After a moment, a golden light flashed in the light array, and a golden flying boat appeared. It was the Jinting Boat!

Two monks in golden armor walked out of a gap in the middle of the boat and looked at everyone with lightning eyes.

When one of the old men in his 50s or 60s glanced at Ye Ming, his pupils shrank and he asked solemnly, "Excuse me, what is your name? Where are you from? Why do you look familiar to me?"

"My name is Ye Ming. I am a cultivator from Tianyuan City. This is my identity token. Please take a look, fellow Daoist." Ye Ming clasped his fists slightly, then raised his hand and waved it. A black token with a gold edge shot out.

The old man spread out his five fingers, took the gold medal into his hand, and then immersed his mind in it to examine it.

However, before the old man could see the result, the young man who came with him suddenly raised his frown and exclaimed:

"I remember now, you are Ye Ming, the Qingming Guard from more than 300 years ago!"

"It's me!" Ye Ming nodded slightly. The two people opposite him were both at the initial stage of Refining Void. Ye Ming had never seen them before. He didn't know if they had advanced in the past two hundred years or if they had not served in Tianyuan Guard before.

"So it's really Fellow Daoist Ye. Nice to meet you!"

At this time, the old man had also finished checking Ye Ming's identity token, which clearly recorded Ye Ming's physical characteristics, when he ascended and when he advanced to the refining realm, and other information. It was what Zhao Wugui had done for him.
