How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

A disciple dressed in a white spiritual robe followed in the large procession, feeling both nervous and excited.

Today is the opening day of the Heavenly Array Gate's Array Storage Pavilion. He has accumulated several months' worth of contributions and has finally earned a chance to enter the array.

Should we choose the mid-grade Human-level Separation and Union Formation, or try to break through to the high-grade Human-level Opening Origin Formation?

The female cultivator in white robes frowned, looking quite troubled.

This hard-won opportunity allows you to choose a human-level formation once.

However, last time he tried to break through to the top-grade human level array, he couldn't pass the trial at all and wasted a great opportunity. Although he has made some progress now, he still thinks about the difficulty of the trial for the top-grade human level array.

He was starting to get a little worked up. What should we do?

Just as he was torn between choosing between a mid-grade human-level formation and a high-grade human-level formation, a voice came asking a question.

The white-robed female cultivator looked in the direction of the sound and was stunned for a moment.

Li Muyun was dressed in white, with flowing black hair. He carried the Heaven-Devouring Creation Sword on his back. His aura was restrained, but his face was handsome and otherworldly. His aura was as clear as a lake, and there were faint starlight swirling around him, making him seem like a banished immortal.

"Hello? Junior sister, junior sister..."

Li Muyun stared blankly at the white-robed woman in front of him and called out to her repeatedly.

The woman in white robes finally came to her senses, stunned for a moment. Her face flushed, and she lowered her head shyly, speaking softly.

"Oh, the most powerful divine-level formation? I don't think I've paid attention to that. Few disciples pay attention to divine-level formations; it's usually the elders who choose them."

Having received no answer, Li Muyun nodded, thanked her, and walked past her, heading straight for the storage pavilion.

Hong Youlong was truly generous, giving him a large seal that allowed him to freely choose any formation from the Formation Pavilion. Naturally, he wanted the strongest divine-level formation.

Unable to find out anything from among the disciples, the steward, amidst his astonished and suspicious expression, learned of a powerful divine-level formation with a very high trial difficulty, which many of his colleagues had attempted but failed to overcome.

The steward looked at the large seal in his hand, then glanced at Li Muyun's departing figure, and whispered to his companion.

"Who is this guy? Is he from our Heavenly Array Pavilion? I've never seen him before, and he's asking for the strongest god-level array right off the bat. At his age, he'd be lucky to even get a high-grade human-level array..."

"Ambitious but unrealistic...tsk tsk, he's quite handsome, but his mentality is lacking."

……

Many disciples looked at Li Muyun, as they were all lined up in rows, wearing formal robes, and had come under the guidance of their instructors.

Human-level array masters wear white robes, spirit-level array masters wear silver robes, and as for god-level array masters, only a few deacons and pavilion attendants wear red robes.

Li Muyun stood alone, his attire unusual, making him undoubtedly the most conspicuous person in the crowd.

He didn't care at all and walked straight toward that powerful formation.

Everyone's attention was focused on this outsider, and they couldn't help but curiously start discussing him.

"Who is this person? Is he one of our disciples? I've never seen him before."

"Could it be that other people can also come to our sect to choose formations? Alas, I don't know."

"It looks so mysterious, yet it's also very pleasing to the eye."

……

Many disciples inside the sect were very curious and couldn't help but look up and examine Li Muyun.

Looking at the uniform white robes, with the occasional green robe, Li Muyun felt as if he had wandered into a kindergarten class, even though they were all the same age.

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Li Muyun glanced at the jade tablets in front of him. They were all human-level trials, and only human-level formations were allowed.

He naturally bypassed them and stepped towards the higher steps.

This array is made up of jade tablets piled up like mountains, layer upon layer, with each higher up the array requiring a more difficult trial to pass.

There are eight levels in total, ranging from low-grade human level, middle-grade, high-grade, low-grade spirit level... all the way up to the god level formation.

God-level formations are generally active, making it difficult to have clear boundaries to measure their rank and strength.

Li Muyun swept past the crowd and headed straight for the eighth floor. As soon as he stood on the eighth floor, the three floors in front of him were empty. The disciples below stared wide-eyed at Li Muyun on the top floor.

Many disciples had never been to a position above the fourth level, yet they saw someone ascend to the eighth level.

As if seeing a ghost in broad daylight, they stared incredulously at Li Muyun above them.

Li Muyun couldn't stand the stares of everyone focused on him, which made him feel uneasy. He quickly glanced at the jade tablet, which read "Five Elements Thunder Prison Array." He crushed the jade tablet and chose to accept the trial.

As the jade tablet shattered, Li Muyun's figure immediately entered the trial space, and the disciples below exclaimed in surprise!

"He really went! No way, that's an eighth-level formation, how could he dare!"

"He won't die, will he?"

The disciples were thrown into chaos, making noise and creating a commotion.

The deacon, noticing the anomaly from a distance, rushed over. After learning the whole story, he remained silent.

After all, he is a person who holds the official seal of office. To receive such approval, he must be either rich or noble. Since he chose such a difficult option, if something goes wrong, he will probably not be able to escape being held accountable.

Inside the trial space.

Unlike the uproar and chaos outside, Li Muyun remained calm, looking at the terrifying lightning above, and strode forward with an air of nonchalance.

The lightning was intertwined with the violent and powerful energy of the five elements, which floated and leaped, forming colorful electric lights that danced and roared in the air, exuding a chilling aura.

Li Muyun, however, was not afraid at all. He had seen many great formations before, and just a few hours ago he had broken through the Four Seas Dragon Formation, which was at the peak of the divine level.

The current god-level formations no longer pose much of a threat to him.

Li Muyun took the Seven Star Steps of the Heavenly Gang, without activating his Qi, relying solely on the power of the array patterns to inscribe the array techniques, and forcefully withstood the power of the thunder.

The experiment was successful. The whole process wasn't particularly strenuous; I only broke a slight sweat.

Li Muyun transformed into a streak of light and reappeared on the steps. The jade tablet shattered with a crash, transforming into an ancient scroll. The Five Elements Thunder Prison Array Diagram was thus put into his possession.

Li Muyun turned around, only to find the crowd below the steps frozen in disbelief, staring at him incredulously.

The deacon stared blankly, rubbed his eyes, and still couldn't believe it.

Li Muyun walked down the path, one footprint after another, the silence seemingly broken only by the sound of his footsteps.

The white-robed female cultivator who had been questioned by Li Muyun earlier covered her mouth in astonishment, a tremendous shock exploding in her heart.

This person was actually questioning her just now!

She had thought he was an outsider who didn't know anything about it, but now it seems that he is a prodigy in the art of formations!

Although they were about the same age, their cultivation of array formations was already worlds apart.

Amidst the utter silence, only after Li Muyun's figure disappeared into the distance did the crowd erupt in incredulous discussion, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.

The white-robed female cultivator's heart pounded wildly. She was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. Then, her gaze became extremely firm as she looked at the high-grade human-level Kaiyuan Array.

She wants to try it too!
