How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

With a narrowing of his eyes, Li Muyun flicked his long sleeves, gathering his true energy in his palm. With a hum, a brilliant golden light flashed, and blue-purple arcs of electricity erupted as he thrust out his palm.

The golden palm crackling with electricity collided with the blazing palm, sending golden lightning scattering and flames swirling!

Li Tianquan swayed slightly and took a step back to deflect the impact. He raised his palm, and his palm was charred black from being struck by lightning. His face quickly darkened.

Li Muyun staggered back five steps, the immense force of the recoil causing a trickle of blood to escape from the corner of his mouth. In that instant, he unleashed both the Golden Light Spell and the Thunder Spell, yet he still sustained minor injuries. Indeed, a palm strike from a sixth-level Earth Profound Realm cultivator was not so easy to withstand.

Li Tianquan's cold eyes were filled with chilling killing intent. "No wonder Tianci was severely injured by you. Such cultivation cannot be achieved overnight. Li Muyun, you've been hiding your true strength!"

Li Muyun shook his numb hand and grinned, "You can't wait for your coming-of-age ceremony to make your move? Then come and try, I'm happy to oblige!"

As he spoke, the Flying Dagger and the Black Iron Needle soared into the air, and Li Muyun chanted the Golden Light Mantra, his body flashing with golden light and his eyes sparkling with electricity, looking as if he was ready to fight to the death.

"Hmph! I'll let you jump around for a few more days, and then I'll personally cripple you."

The murderous intent in his eyes flashed and disappeared repeatedly, but Li Tianquan ultimately just snorted coldly. After all, it wouldn't be proper to make a move now, and Li Muyun was already in a desperate stance, making it difficult for him to kill Li Muyun instantly. If he made a big fuss and caused a huge uproar without actually killing Li Muyun, it would be a loss.

Moreover, he is currently at the peak of the sixth level of Earth Profound Martial Master, and may soon be able to step into the seventh level. In any case, the challenge of the coming-of-age ceremony is a matter of life and death, so it is not too late to let Li Muyun live for a few more days before he dies.

"Phew, the sixth level of the Earth Profound Realm is really impressive."

Li Muyun returned to the courtyard and couldn't help but vomit another mouthful of blood, which finally relieved most of the tightness in his chest.

Xiao Rou's eyes instantly reddened when she saw Li Muyun vomit blood. "Young Master, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine, Xiaorou. I'm going into seclusion to cultivate soon, so don't let anyone disturb me."

Li Muyun casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Li Tianquan wanted him dead, and at the coming-of-age ceremony soon, Li Tianquan would have no qualms about it. He had to acquire the strength to contend with Li Tianquan, or even defeat him, before that happened.

Back in the hut, the Long-Eared Immortal waved his hand, creating an invisible barrier that enveloped the hut. He said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Kid, you've really gotten what you deserved this time."

Li Muyun chuckled dryly, "If I had known, I would have used the Illusionary Annihilation Fist, and I wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

The long-eared immortal shook his head repeatedly, his large ears twitching. "This is a fundamental difference in strength, which cannot be made up for by immortal techniques or martial arts. You are only at the first level of Foundation Establishment, and you are still far from it. Quickly bring out those materials, and I will refine a spirit-gathering array for you. If you want to defeat that kid, you will need to reach the third level of Foundation Establishment in the next month or so."

Li Muyun's eyes lit up. "Two levels higher in less than a month? Is that really possible?"

Long-eared Immortal curled his lip in disdain, “Look at your ignorant look. A human-level spirit gathering array can increase the spiritual energy within the array by three times, while the human-level top-grade spirit gathering array that I have refined can even increase the spiritual energy by five times. As long as you can endure the hardship, I guarantee that you will steadily advance to the third level of Foundation Establishment before your coming-of-age ceremony.”

"Young Master Rabbit, then I'll trouble you to refine the formation!"

Li Muyun patted his chest and said, "If you can't endure the hardships of cultivation, then you'll have to endure the hardships of being beaten and humiliated."

With a flick of his finger, the long-eared immortal caused all the materials in his storage ring to float in the air. "The formation is actually a process of condensing the properties of materials, using key materials as the array eye, rune stones as the array carrier, and spiritual blood as the medium, to condense the properties of all materials onto the rune stones and elevate the array eye once again."

"Of course, runes are just the most basic medium. The more powerful the formation, the stronger the medium it needs. You promised to cooperate with the Xuan Tian Treasure Pavilion, right? Today I'll demonstrate how to craft a formation. For lower-level formations like this, you can craft them yourself."

As he spoke, the Long-Eared Immortal hovered three Spirit-Enhancing Jade stones in front of him, channeling his true essence into them. In less than five minutes, the Spirit-Enhancing Jade stones slowly transformed into a pool of liquid. The Long-Eared Immortal mixed this liquid evenly with the spirit blood of the Qian Yuan Beast, using his true essence as a brush and the mixture as ink, and began to carve on the blank runestone. After carving the strange patterns, the runestone instantly emitted a brilliant light.

Just then, the Long-Eared Immortal flung out the Spirit-Gathering Stone and used his true essence to embed it into the groove of the Rune Stone. The Rune Stone and the Spirit-Gathering Stone were perfectly combined, and the strange patterns on them shimmered with light. The spiritual energy in the room suddenly increased several times!

Li Muyun stared intently at the entire refining process. When the spirit-gathering array was completed, he subconsciously swallowed. The rich spiritual energy made every pore on his body open. Cultivating in such an environment would definitely be twice as effective.

The long-eared immortal clenched his fist, and the light on the rune stone quietly faded, finally landing in Li Muyun's hand. "Injecting true essence will activate the array. The materials that Xuan Tian Treasure Pavilion got for you are quite good. I estimate that it can be used for a month if it stays open, which is enough for you to advance to the third level of Foundation Establishment."

Li Muyun stuffed the spirit-gathering array talisman into his pocket, grinning widely, "The Rabbit God is mighty!"

Long-eared Immortal proudly raised his rabbit ears, then smiled jokingly, "I've successfully crafted my Spirit Gathering Array, but I don't know if you can endure the hardship."

Li Muyun smiled confidently, "Then let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, the scene before Li Muyun suddenly changed, and Li Muyun found himself once again in the endless star field space with three thousand Xuan Tian Jade Pillars.

Even without a spirit-gathering array, the spiritual energy here is several times that of the outside world.

Li Muyun's eyes lit up. With the added boost of the Spirit Gathering Array here, his cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds.

Under the command of the Long-Eared Immortal, Li Muyun activated the Spirit Gathering Array. The talisman emitted a milky white light, and an array with a radius of one square meter unfolded. All the surrounding spiritual energy gathered into the array. The terrifying spiritual energy inside the array was even somewhat viscous. Li Muyun sat cross-legged to cultivate, and as soon as he absorbed the spiritual energy into his body, he let out a miserable scream!

"Hi! Ah!"

Li Muyun rolled on the ground in pain. He hadn't expected that his meridians would be unable to withstand such a dense spiritual energy. In just an instant, the spiritual energy flooded into his body like a torrent, almost tearing his meridians apart.

The long-eared fairy deliberately provoked, "You can't even bear this little bit of pain? I thought you were so tough. If you can't stand it, then just give up."

"Damn it, I don't believe it!"

Two drops of cold sweat dripped down Li Muyun's cheeks. A fierce look appeared on his handsome face. He gritted his teeth and sat cross-legged on the ground again to begin cultivating.

"I refuse to accept this!"

"Ouch! That hurts so much!"

"Damn it, I'm going to mess with you!"

"Ahhh!"

"Fuck your mother's leg! Come on!"

The entire endless star field echoed with mournful howls and the boy's repeated, furious curses...
