Mortal: From a Chaotic Star Sea to a True Immortal

"The Valley of Fallen Demons."

Wei Fang sighed.

Han Li had already hinted to him that he was invited to visit the Fallen Demon Valley.

Wei Fang wasn't particularly interested in the various things in the valley, after all, the environment there was just too harsh.

Various spatial rifts, ancient restrictions, and strange, ferocious beasts dwell within.

Although it is said that many ancient treasures were left there.

But after all these years, very few have succeeded.

And who knows if those old monsters who had reached the Nascent Soul stage had secretly gone in?

But Wei Fang's scheme forced him to go.

Although the South is vast, there are very few opportunities to greatly increase one's cultivation level in a short period of time.

Putting everything else aside, he definitely needs to obtain the exact location of the place beneath the boundless seabed that the ancient demon knew about, a place that suppressed boundless demonic energy.

With the help of the pure spiritual energy that suppressed demonic energy there, during the decades that the old demon was trapped in the Spirit Garden, he was able to not only raise his cultivation to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Even the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art can be cultivated to a minor level.

If you try to find it on your own, you'll probably find nothing in 30 to 50 years.

Therefore, he decided that he must go there, and preferably make a deal with the Marquis of Nanlong along the way to get his hands on the scroll containing the ancient demon's fragmented soul.

He now possesses a divine consciousness approaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and two Fat Yang Birds that are almost at level eight.

And a considerable number of warding-off-evil divine thunderbolts.

Dealing with a split soul without a body is not a problem.

However, if it were allowed to enter the Fallen Demon Valley, possess the body of the Marquis of Nanlong, and then transform one or two demonic artifacts...

Then his trip will be just like Han Li's, a bloody battle against two ancient demons with late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation.

There are too many accidents that could happen during this time, and you might lose your life.

After making the decision, and preparing to fire a shot and run away in the Fallen Demon Valley.

Wei Fang nodded heavily in agreement with Han Li.

"Junior Brother Han, the Fallen Demon Valley is notorious for its ferocity. We must make proper preparations this time."

Han Li naturally agreed, saying, "There are still many years until the agreed date, which is enough time for us to improve our strength."

……

After seeing Han Li off, Wei Fang returned to his room alone and sat quietly in thought, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

Yin Yue appeared beside Wei Fang at some point, brewed him a pot of tea, and said, "Brother Wei, why do you look so worried? Is there really some life-or-death crisis in the Fallen Demon Valley?"

"If that's the case, then refusing is fine. Why make things so difficult?"

"Given Brother Wei's age and talent, even with arduous cultivation, reaching the Nascent Soul stage is still within reach."

"Could it be that Brother Wei and Brother Han truly share such a deep friendship?"

After listening to Yin Yue's words, Wei Fang picked up his cup and took a sip of tea.

He said expressionlessly, "The path of cultivation is inherently defying the heavens."

Such an opportunity is fleeting.

"Brother Han possesses a great secret, and I, Wei, do not wish to fall too far behind him."

"If one only focuses on arduous cultivation, even reaching the late Nascent Soul stage will likely come at the end of one's lifespan. Where then will the opportunity to transform into a Divine Transformation cultivator arise?"

……

In the days that followed, everyone was assigned tasks.

Nascent Soul cultivators are no exception.

Han Li accepted the same mission as before: to defend Huanglong Mountain.

Wei Fang knew that after this incident, Han Li's fame would spread far and wide.

Wei Fang had already shared the method of creating the Shadowless Escape technique with Han Li, so it's likely that Han Li had prepared plenty of such life-saving measures.

Wei Fang and Lü Luo stayed in Tiantian City.

Firstly, the Mulan army had been advancing rapidly and was nearing the city. The city needed to be guarded by Nascent Soul cultivators.

Secondly, Wei Fang knew that the spiritual fire released by the ancient lamp, a magical artifact in Saintess Mulan's hand, was from the spirit realm.

He was so focused on the high damage output of fire magic and lightning magic.

His supernatural powers were completely restrained by this female cultivator, so he decided not to go looking for trouble.

Unless one finds several kinds of spiritual fires of heaven and earth to enhance them, or cultivates the golden divine flames in one's own Golden Sun Technique to an inconceivable level.

Only then can we compete with the supernatural powers of the upper realm.

Wei Fang wanted to learn some invincible skill or supernatural power, but there simply wasn't one in this mortal world!

The mutual generation and restraint of the five elements is the way of Heaven; even the ancient and modern times have been overturned by the old demon. What can he do?

As the Mulan army approached the city, Nascent Soul cultivators, including Wei Fang, joined the fray and launched a counterattack.

However, the Mulan people were clearly better prepared this time, while the troops of various forces in Tiannan were still halfway there.

After a stalemate lasting ten days to half a month, the city's "Shangyuan Extinction Array" was about to be breached.

Wei Fang and the others had already retreated thousands of miles away.

Along the way, with frequent stops and starts, Wei Fang accompanied the main force and escorted the disciples of the Luoyun Sect to the Northern Liang Kingdom of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.

The various forces in the south had their defenses of the two countries, including the Northern Liang Kingdom, completely impenetrable, with massive formations rising from the ground.

They quickly set up a defensive line here, ready to rely on the geographical advantages of the southern region and the continuous supply of logistics.

Here we deliver a crushing blow to the Mulan people.

Although Wei Fang did not use all his magical treasures during this period, he still managed to launch a sneak attack on the two siege beasts by relying on the advantage of flying needles.

Although this beast is an ancient and exotic species, its defenses are impervious to most of the five elements' attacks.

Tiannan tried to take action against them several times, but all their efforts were in vain.

However, he was still ambushed by Wei Fang and died beneath the city wall.

As a result, Wei Fang naturally incurred the wrath of the Mulan people, who sent two Grand Masters to try and surround him.

However, Wei Fang was also quite skilled at escaping, and he was also unwilling to show himself in public.

After successfully launching a sneak attack under the walls of Khotan, they made a hasty retreat, leaving the attackers helpless.

After revealing his natal magic weapon, many Nascent Soul cultivators became much more polite to Wei Fang, and even Senior Brother Lü Luo was amazed.

I privately praised Wei Fang's audacity on several occasions.

They can even forge the most difficult flying needle magic weapon.

Wei Fang knew this was nothing compared to what a Nascent Soul cultivator could do.

It is not too difficult to refine flying needle magic weapons.

However, during the Core Formation stage.

To forge a flying needle into a natal magic weapon requires a certain amount of luck and a great price.

Yin Yue chuckled from within the jade ruyi and transmitted her voice to Wei Fang, "Senior Brother Lü probably doesn't know, but Brother Wei has a full 49 such magical treasures!"

Wei Fang didn't seem to think anything of it when he heard this.

All his hard work and planning until now has been for the sake of keeping up with the latest version, hasn't it?

After arriving in the Northern Liang Kingdom, the fighting gradually slowed down.

However, both sides are gradually increasing their troop strength, and it is estimated that the time for a major battle is not far off.

Taking advantage of the past six months, Wei Fang has been working hard on the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art, and his daily practice has already yielded some results.

However, to reach the level of Manbikyu, he's probably still a long way off.

Besides that, there was the ancient jade talisman I obtained from Han Li that day.

The strange runes in this talisman were five or six parts similar to some he had seen in a secret realm that was suspected to have been established by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

(I'm too lazy to think of a name for that character; thinking too much will make me lose hair. You guys can help me come up with one, and I'll revise it later.)
