Mortal: From a Chaotic Star Sea to a True Immortal

After walking for half an hour, the group finally arrived at a settlement they had carved out that was suitable for survival.

After meeting the person in charge of the place, I was given a room.

Having witnessed Wei Fang's skill in hunting the Yinming Beast, no one dared to cause trouble.

After they finished getting ready, the two sat down in the room.

"Brother Wei seems to have anticipated this, and doesn't seem too afraid of losing his spiritual power?"

After pouring Wei Fang a glass of water, Zi Ling said thoughtfully.

After taking a sip, Wei Fang glanced at Zi Ling and said, "Miss Zi Ling is indeed intelligent."

"Compared to those six supreme saints, this Netherworld is not too dangerous. I have my own way to get out."

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling excitedly exclaimed, "That's wonderful!"

"I wonder, Brother Wei, if you can bring Zi Ling with you on this trip? I..."

Wei Fang released the two birds from his shoulder and let them circle around the room.

The two little ones were incredibly excited throughout the journey.

If it weren't for Wei Fang's strict precautions, the two of them would have already flown out to kill those Yinming beasts and replenish their strength.

Unlike demonic energy, this kind of spiritual energy requires a spirit beast to expend spiritual power to resist it, and it cannot be absorbed by the spirit beast.

This yin energy was definitely a rare tonic for him.

Zi Ling wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wei Fang's actions.

Wei Fang only spoke after the two birds landed on his shoulders.

"That's natural, not to mention that the young lady is a friend of Brother Han and Wei."

"I also have a long history with the Miaoyin Sect. Before and after I formed my core, your sect really helped me a lot."

"Now that we've encountered this danger, I, Wei, have no reason to abandon it. However, everything will only be within my power."

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling stood up and bowed.

"Thank you, Brother Wei. You were helpful to Zi Ling back in the Void Heaven Palace."

"For Zi Ling to have made friends like Brother Han and Brother Wei, this tedious path of cultivation is not entirely without its rewards."

"Speaking of which, my mother once intended to send some of Brother Wei's disciples to be maids. But the senior refused them all."

"The sisters who were chosen back then were quite disappointed."

……

Upon hearing these old stories, Wei Fang seemed to recall the past.

He smiled and shook his head without saying a word.

"Without achieving the Nascent Soul stage, it is all in vain."

.........

The two rested there for one night, and after gathering information the next day, they said goodbye and left.

"The storms in Storm Mountain will be at their weakest in about six months. Let's take advantage of this time and head towards Storm Mountain while we search for Brother Han."

Wei Fang looked at Zi Ling seriously and said, "This place is different from the outside world, Miss Zi Ling, you must be careful. There may be times when I cannot be attentive enough."

"Zi Ling has woken up. Thank you for reminding me, Brother Wei."

……

With those words spoken, the two embarked on their journey.

And this departure lasted for more than a month.

Along the way, Wei Fang naturally let the two fat sun birds eat their fill.

The monsters here are all formed from Yin energy, and absorbing one of them will greatly benefit them.

If this place weren't devoid of spiritual energy, the two Zhiyang Birds might have already advanced to the next level.

Meanwhile, Han Li was in his room, caressing the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword.

Sitting next to her was a woman with a flushed face, who was undoubtedly Mei Ning.

"I wonder how Yuan Yao and Brother Wei are doing. Her cultivation was greatly reduced after using the forbidden technique. I'm afraid... sigh."

"Brother Wei seemed to know something about this place the other day. If he has nothing else to do, he will probably go and climb Storm Mountain."

After clearing his mind of these thoughts, Han Li prepared to go out and investigate.

"Miss Mei Ning."

"These animal hides will need to be sewn by the young lady."

Han Li turned around and spoke to the woman beside the bed.

"Oh, okay! Okay, Senior Han."

……

"This is the village closest to Stormwind Mountain. It will be two days' walk from here."

After unloading his belongings, Wei Fang looked at the mountain road ahead and said to Zi Ling.

"As we've traveled this far, the number of Netherworld Beasts has increased dramatically. If it weren't for Brother Wei and these two birds, Zi Ling alone probably wouldn't have been able to leave this Netherworld Land."

After putting down her package, Zi Ling leaned against a boulder and looked for firewood while speaking.

Wei Fang divided the cooked meat porridge in the pot among Zi Ling, and then drank a bowl himself.

He savored the taste of the food and let out a satisfied burp.

"We still have enough supplies, so we won't go into the village. We'll rest for the night and continue our journey tomorrow. It'll be easier to get there sooner."

……

Life had been exceptionally slow for the past month or so since he lost his spiritual power, but Wei Fang was not impatient.

Cultivators are basically just mortals with magical powers; it's nothing special.

As long as the goal is clear enough, and there is perseverance and the ability to put it into practice.

The current predicament is just a temporary setback; he has never been one to lack action.

……

As the sun rose and set, the two figures gradually disappeared from the various villages.

In the middle of a huge, treacherous mountain, the two were struggling to climb upwards step by step.

Storm Mountain is covered in snow all year round, and many monsters also live there.

Even though the defense had made all the necessary preparations.

But when faced with such a magnificent scene as the might of the heavens, a mere mortal cannot help but feel as insignificant as dust.

"That cliff ahead is difficult to traverse. Let the Zhiyang Bird guide us for a while. You'd better hold on tight later."

Amidst the wind and snow, Wei Fang roared at Zi Ling at the top of his lungs.

The environment here is too harsh, with howling winds and snow. You can't hear anything if you're not careful.

Although the Zhiyang Bird can no longer use its spiritual power here, its wingspan of more than half a zhang can still carry one person each.

"Brother Wei, I'm ready!"

Zi Ling tore off a few strands of her own silk and tied one hand tightly to the claw of the Zhiyang bird before shouting loudly at Wei Fang.

Upon hearing this, Wei Fang nodded and signaled the Zhiyang Bird to lead them toward the distant giant peak.

……

After flying for more than half an hour, Wei Fang left the Heavenly Abyss Land and arrived at the last giant peak with Zi Ling.

If you continue along the winding road leading to this giant peak, you will reach the summit in less than ten days.

"I wonder how Brother Han and the others are doing," Zi Ling said worriedly as she poked at the fire in front of her.

Wei Fang leaned against the rock, keeping watch outside while turning back to say, "Brother Han is a lucky man. People like him and me, who have fought our way up, will never give up easily as long as they have a breath left."

"He won't die that easily."

The next morning, Wei Fang and Zi Ling packed everything up and left the cave.

After several more days of climbing, Wei Fang was able to see the top.

"Miss Ziling is indeed resilient. Despite the numerous difficulties along the way, I have never heard you complain."

Zi Ling's eyes sparkled with a smile, and she was about to say something when Wei Fang suddenly stopped her.

Shh, there's a noise.

Wei Fang quickly pulled him aside and hid to the side to investigate the direction from which the sound came.

Before long, a heavy footstep sound gradually became clearer as it approached from afar.

Wei Fang peeked out from behind a corner of his head and secretly observed them.

The man was tall and burly, with curly blond hair. Yet he looked strangely familiar.

"A bushy beard?"

(This isn't padding; every chapter exceeds the word count. I originally planned to write this book with no female lead or only one female lead, Yin Yue. However, after writing about Song Yu, I felt it would be good to add her, so it became a dual-female-lead story. Other female characters don't have much screen time.)

(Those who know the original novel about Zi Ling will understand, so I won't include her in my considerations. I might consider Fairy Ru Yan later, hehe.)
