A Mortal's Story of Cultivation into Immortality

"Fellow Daoist Han, please be merciful. You have passed the test. These eight ghost kings of the underworld are still of some use. I hope you can keep them alive." When the monk saw this, a surprised expression flashed in his eyes, but immediately a long-sleeved one Shaking, a strange wave suddenly emerged in front of the golden vortex, splitting the huge suction force.

As soon as the eight evil ghosts regained their freedom, they immediately roared and disappeared into little black energy.

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, how could I really take action against these ghosts? I'm just curious and want to test their true strength." Han Li let out a low chuckle, and the Dharma form and golden vortex behind him flashed out at the same time. A ball as dark as ink appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he kept looking at it with great interest.

It was the underworld wind that he had previously collected with the golden light of the cave.

However, this evil wind has now been compressed into a ball by its immense magic power, and it has become what it is now.

"Brother Han's magical power is far beyond my expectation. It seems that the rumors are true. This test of the old man is a bit superfluous and unnecessary." The monk exhaled and said, but the expression on his face was still dull. abnormal.

"Brother Bi, the test is over. Can we talk to you about the business?" Han Li ignored the monk's previous words and asked directly.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, of course I have this qualification. I think Brother Han should know my identity very well," the monk said.

"If the girl outside is not lying, Fellow Taoist should be the person responsible for the Helian Merchant Alliance in the Blood Sky Continent, and his status should be similar to that of Fellow Taoist Ming Zun." Han Li said lightly.

"I do have this status. But how much do fellow Taoists know about our Helian Merchant Alliance?" the monk asked in return.

"I really don't know much. I only know that your alliance is extremely powerful and is one of the few superpowers that can span three continents." Han Li frowned and replied.

"This alliance is actually a relatively loose organization. Apart from having a branch alliance on each of the three continents to facilitate the exchange of resources and information, there are generally no mandatory regulations and obligations. Generally speaking, when there are disputes, it is also The Council of Elders, composed of all the Mahayana members in the alliance, makes a joint decision. The old man was elected by the elders in the Blood Heaven to be temporarily responsible for the affairs of this continent. If there are Mahayana Taoist friends who are willing to join the alliance, they will usually serve as guest elders. The position will not affect your daily practice and status in your race, and you can also enjoy many unexpected conveniences. Your only obligation is probably to help the alliance when there is a crisis." The monk said calmly.

"What do fellow Taoists mean by these words?" Han Li asked calmly, staring at the monk.

"I would like to formally invite Taoist fellow Taoist to join our business alliance. I wonder if Taoist fellow Taoist Han is interested." The monk said with a smile for the first time.

"Is this the reason why you were tested and invited here just now?" Han Li looked unusually calm.

"Of course not, it's just that if fellow Taoist can become a member of this alliance, I will have less worries about what I want to discuss with fellow Taoist in the future." The monk replied calmly.

"Although I am indeed somewhat interested in the Helian Merchant Alliance, I still want to hear what my fellow Taoists have to say about the business before I decide on other matters." Han Li said calmly.

"Okay, since fellow Taoist is so insistent, Bi will not force it. I wonder how much you know about the underworld?" The monk asked suddenly after nodding his head.

"Underworld? Although I often hear people talk about it, it seems that I have never heard of anyone actually seeing it. As for the existence of the underworld, it is more likely to be something in rumors. Whether it really exists is something that is impossible to know. At least, I will It's impossible to determine. Why, is what fellow Taoist wants to talk about related to these two?" Han Li was a little surprised.

"Of course it is related. About a hundred years ago, while exploring a certain space gap in the Blood Sky Continent, our branch accidentally discovered the entrance to a new small world."

"New little world! This is true." Han Li was startled.

"Of course it is true. However, although it is said to be a new small world, it should have existed for many years, but no advanced creatures have been born in it, and it has never been discovered by the outside world. The small world is not too big, but there are all kinds of things in it. The resources are extremely rich. But just when this branch alliance was overjoyed and prepared to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to develop it with all its strength, another interface also discovered its existence and invaded it." The monk paused after saying this. After a pause, a trace of memory flashed in his eyes.

"Other interfaces, could it be..." Han Li began to think thoughtfully.

"Yes, when Fang Yi fought with this new enemy, the people in this alliance were shocked. They all turned out to be the ghost-like existence that fellow Taoists had seen before. Some of them were strong, some were weak, and some were extremely weak. The attack is only about the same as that of people in the Qi refining period of this world. But the powerful one is enough to be compared with our combined Mahayana existence in the spiritual world. The underworld Yin Qi was collected after I fought with the strong opponent. The eight ghosts are also They were transformed by extracting the breath from these ghosts. Of course, they can only look similar in appearance, and their strength cannot be compared with the real ghost king. The real ghost king of hell is a terrifying existence alongside us. And according to the self-proclaimed names of these ghosts, where they come from The interface is called 'Underworld', but the forces it belongs to are the Ten Kings of the Underworld. Our merchant alliance and these ghosts fought several battles to compete for this world, and the result was a deadlock, and a large number of manpower was lost. In order to avoid losing both sides, , so in the end, this alliance and these ghosts made an oath, and decided to use a battle between the strong to finally decide how much resources to occupy in this world. The purpose of the old man coming to see fellow Taoist is to invite fellow Taoist Han to be one of the representatives of this alliance. Participate in one of the battles. Of course, if Brother Han can join this alliance, it will be more justifiable. No matter whether we win or lose this battle, as long as fellow Taoists take action, our alliance will definitely thank you deeply. ." After hesitating for a moment, the monk finally said everything.

"I see. I wonder if this 'underworld' is the 'underworld' rumored to be, what kind of existence the so-called ten kings of the underworld are, and whether they will also participate in this battle of strong men." After hearing this, Han Li was confused. A bit moved.

"This alliance has naturally conducted some investigation into this. Although there is not much evidence, I believe that this world should not be the mysterious real underworld in the rumors, but should be just a ghost kingdom-like interface suitable for the survival of powerful ghosts. The so-called The Ten Kings of the Yin Division are only ten existences that are more powerful than the ordinary ghost kings. Otherwise, even though the alliance is not small, it will never be able to truly contend with the opponent for such a long time. As for this battle of strong men, the Ten Kings of the Yin Division will most likely Someone will participate." The monk thought for a while and replied.

"It's not the real underworld. It's a pity. I thought I could finally explore the real secret of reincarnation." Han Li touched his chin, his eyes flashing with a bit of regret.

"Although it is not the real underworld. The magical powers practiced by these ghosts are indeed very different from ours. They vaguely contain laws and avenues that are completely different from ordinary creatures. If fellow Taoists can fight with them, by chance, maybe they can really do it. Understand some of the mysteries of reincarnation." The monk laughed.

Han Li listened but remained silent.

After a while, he raised his head again and asked carefully:

"When is the duel between your alliance and these ghosts, where will it be, and how many will there be? Besides me, are there any other fellow Taoists in your alliance who are ready to participate in the battle?"

Seeing that Han Li asked so carefully, the monk not only showed no dissatisfaction, but also cheered up and replied hurriedly:

"The time is three years later, and the location is in that newly discovered small world. In this battle of strong men, there were a total of five matches. In addition to the action of the Old Dead Association, a fellow Taoist from the Thunder Continent League and an elder from the Elders Association Elder Keqing will also take action. In addition, I have also invited the top-ranking strongman Xue Sha from the Blood Sky Continent. Together with fellow Taoist, there will be exactly five people participating in the battle. Fellow Daoist Han, don't worry, this competition is one-on-one. , even if you lose to your opponent, your life will not be in danger. If fellow Taoist can really win a match, in addition to the originally agreed reward, I can also make the decision to let fellow Taoist enter the Dengtian Pavilion of this alliance. Choose any secret technique passed down from the fairy world."

"The secret technique of the immortal world? Did you hear me correctly?" Han Li was a little stunned after hearing this.

"What the old man said is indeed the secret arts of the immortal world. In fact, there are several secret arts of the immortal world hidden in this alliance. Although not many people know about it, it is not a very secretive thing. Because those who founded our business alliance The predecessors were originally the true descendants of the immortals in the spiritual world. The predecessor of the Merchant Alliance was originally an extremely secretive supervisory organization set up by the immortal world in the spiritual world, but the people used were all direct descendants of the immortals. So I know a few immortal worlds. It is also normal to use this technique. However, after the great changes in the world and all walks of life completely lost contact with the fairy world, these seniors had no choice but to absorb other powerful people into the organization. After so many years of development, This is how the current Merchant Alliance was formed. Therefore, as one of the few superpowers spanning three continents, in addition to some superficial transactions, the alliance secretly also does its best to maintain the stability of this world and exclude some outsiders. The interference of forces in this world. Like the last incident with the Mother of Insects, our alliance also sent some Mahayana Taoist friends into the demon world. Unfortunately, before they could play their role, they were trapped by the Insect Mother in the restricted area of ​​the First Demon. , thanks to the help of fellow Taoist and others, I was able to escape again. So speaking of it, fellow Taoist Han still has some kindness to many elders of this alliance." The monk explained with a smile.

After hearing these words, Han Li's eyes flashed and he looked thoughtful again.
