How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

"Demon Battlefield?"

Just as Li Muyun was meditating in the underworld, he was interrupted and drawn in by Zhu Jiutong's words, and couldn't help but ask a question.

This battlefield of demons reminded him of his past experiences in the battlefield of the dead.

"Yes, the Demon Spirit Battlefield is an ancient ruin containing many lost treasures and rare materials. With a powerful figure like Brother Li here, the two of us will surely sweep across the land."

When Zhu Jiutong saw Li Muyun ask the question, his face lit up with joy.

As long as Li Muyun takes the bait and is willing to go to the Demon Spirit Battlefield with him, it won't be difficult for the two of them to obtain some opportunities.

His trip to the Tang Dynasty was a disastrous one.

He staked his entire fortune on that gambling den, even activating the immortal artifact he carried with him.

Activating a celestial artifact like this consumes celestial stones!

One immortal stone is equivalent to a thousand ordinary spirit stones, but in order to break the deadlock and save himself, he had no other choice but to target Li Muyun.

Fortunately, Li Muyun lived up to his expectations and successfully created a transnational formation. However, the formation was extremely expensive, causing him to overdraw all the rare and precious materials in his jade pouch.

He didn't earn a single penny on his trip to the Tang Dynasty; in fact, he lost everything, even his underwear. This made him, who was always meticulous and thrifty, so angry that he almost vomited blood.

While fleeing, all I cared about was my life and property, but now that I've landed safely, this feeling of heartache is growing stronger.

So he was restless, feeling like he had no money in his pocket, which urged him to go to the secret realm to seize more opportunities, so that he could at least break even.

"Is it true that experts above the Nascent Soul stage cannot enter this Demon Spirit Battlefield?"

Li Muyun's expression was strange, as if he had remembered something.

"Yes, Brother Li, you've also heard of this Demon Spirit Battlefield?"

This time, Zhu Jiutong was somewhat surprised. He had originally intended to explain to Li Muyun the most unique and beneficial rule for them.

Unexpectedly, Li Muyun himself said it out loud.

Li Muyun nodded repeatedly, his doubts growing stronger.

Just as he expected, the requirements of this Demonic Spirit Battlefield were exactly the same as those of the Death Spirit Battlefield.

Both of these are called battlefields, so what's the difference between them, and what's the connection?

Li Muyun frowned slightly.

This feeling was indescribable, but it permeated his mind. The last time he had this illusion was during the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty, which were filled with an eeriness.

His intuition told him that there must be some connection between the battlefield of the dead and the battlefield of the demons.

"Also going to the trial this time are the three major sects of my Sun Moon Empire, all of whom are elite disciples. They will not miss this opportunity."

The Demon Battlefield is the final resting place of many powerful beings, and countless wonders of nature have given birth to and nurtured rare treasures, making it incredibly tempting.

Even the royal family cannot control this vast battlefield. Although the key is in the hands of the royal family, they cannot ignore the requests from the various sects.

"Alright, since the Emperor is currently in seclusion, let's first go and investigate this Demon Spirit Battlefield..."

After pondering for a moment, Li Muyun finally agreed to go to the Demon Spirit Battlefield with Zhu Jiutong.

A powerful figure like the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, if he were in seclusion, would certainly not be able to emerge for a short time. Rather than waiting here, it would be better to go to this so-called Demon Spirit Battlefield and investigate its true nature.

He had a vague premonition that the Demonic Battlefield and the Undead Battlefield were definitely related.

"Alright, Brother Li, we'll set off in three days."

Zhu Jiutong was overjoyed to have Li Muyun's consent. He gave Li Muyun three days to rest and left happily.

The cost of opening the battlefield was originally funded by the three major sects in exchange for the opportunity to open the secret realm from the royal family. He happened to be free and was sent to carry the secret treasure to open this secret realm.

This means that he and Li Muyun could enter this secret realm without spending a penny, and would even get a share of the spoils.

However, if he ventures into the depths alone without any help, he will inevitably face difficulties competing with the disciples of the other three major sects.

He had witnessed Li Muyun's strength firsthand in the Yangshen Palace's lair. Not only was his cultivation formidable, but he also possessed exceptional talent in array formations and an unwavering, resilient character—truly a worthy man.

This should be a great opportunity to make a fortune.

As Zhu Jiutong's figure disappeared into the distance, his smile grew even brighter.

Li Muyun naturally knew what Zhu Jiutong was up to; he simply wanted him to become a thug.

However, he wasn't working for nothing; he was bound to earn something. Besides, he was now in the Sun Moon Empire, practically living under someone else's roof, so he had to be careful about his safety.

He could see very clearly that Zhu Jiutong valued his potential and talent, and as long as he was still useful, he could ensure that he would have no worries about his physical and mental health.

As for the other twists and turns, he ignored them all.

Three days later, we can take another rest.

Li Muyun stopped thinking about it and sat cross-legged on the ground, his mind focused. A small stream of energy gradually rose and swirled in his chest, condensing and spreading, repeating itself endlessly, circulating throughout his body, nourishing his limbs and the great dragon of his scrotum, connecting the top and bottom, his energy as one.

Li Muyun was immersed in an incredibly profound state of cultivation, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Jiutong, fully armed and dressed in a brand-new robe with a headscarf wrapped around his head, looked strong and powerful. He and Li Muyun left the palace one after another, heading towards a secluded wilderness.

The Wilderness Secret Realm is located in Jinling City. Although it is in a remote and desolate place, the secret realm is full of vitality. White air currents swirl and linger, hidden under the lush and green forest. From a distance, it looks like the two colors of blue and white are intertwined and reflected.

The place was already teeming with people. From a distance, three distinct groups of people could be seen surrounding the valley, chatting and joking around as if they were bored.

Zhu Jiutong and Li Muyun arrived late, traversing through the lush, dense forest in the distance, and finally reached an open area, standing before the three groups of people.

Li Muyun looked up and glanced over, taking in all three groups and getting a clear picture of them.

Most of them were at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and some were even geniuses at the Nascent Soul stage.

Li Muyun was slightly taken aback.

These disciples, who looked only slightly older than him, perhaps in their early twenties, were generally at the peak of the Golden Core stage, close to the Nascent Soul stage.

To have cultivated to such a level at this age is truly remarkable; one can be considered a prodigy.

Even in the Imperial Examination of China, where the top talents of the four great empires gathered, they were all only at the Nascent Soul stage or below.

And in this secret realm before the gates of the Sun and Moon Empire, the cultivation levels of these cultivators are all terrifyingly high.

Li Muyun's expression narrowed slightly as he passed by the many cultivators, still quite shocked.

Such a prodigy, if placed in the Tang Dynasty, would certainly be considered a leading figure among the younger generation.

But here, they are clustered together in large groups, like cabbages that no one in the market wants.
