How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Just as Li Muyun and Zhu Jiutong passed by the crowd, the disciples of the three major sects clearly recognized Zhu Jiutong.

Zhu Jiutong, the ninth prince of the Sun Moon Empire!

However, the disciples of the three major sects simply exchanged a few words of greeting, without the respectful demeanor that ordinary people would show when they see a prince.

These three major sects are all behemoths of the Sun Moon Empire. Most of those who are able to participate in this trial are the most outstanding talents within their sects, and they are quite arrogant.

Instead, more attention was focused on Li Muyun.

Li Muyun rested in the temple for three days, and his energy state was adjusted to its peak.

He changed into a brand-new, clean white robe before setting out, carrying a heavy black sword on his back. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, flowing black hair, a solemn and indifferent expression, and a restrained aura, yet the sharpness of his sword was undeniable, exuding a heroic and unrestrained spirit.

The female disciples of the three major sects, in particular, all turned their heads to stare at the unfamiliar face walking behind Zhu Jiutong.

"Why is the Ninth Prince so late today? We've all been waiting for him."

The figure riding a tall horse at the forefront of the Nine Yang Sect spoke, his words still full of mockery.

The figure had bronze skin, was burly and imposing, and wore a wide black robe that concealed explosive power. Although he was talking to Zhu Jiutong, his eyes were fixed on Li Muyun.

Zhu Jiutong, with a helpless expression on his face, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"I'm late today, please forgive me, Senior Brother Zhang."

Despite being the ninth prince, these individuals are all leading figures in major sects, the pride of heaven. Even he would not want to offend such people.

After all, such figures could become major allies in the future struggle for the throne, and even if they don't, they shouldn't be offended rashly.

Otherwise, he would be tripping himself up, and he saw that very clearly.

"Ninth Prince, the man behind you is quite handsome..."

A gentle voice drifted over, sometimes clear and melodious like a young boy's, and then suddenly coquettish like a young girl's.

Upon hearing this, Li Muyun frowned slightly and looked towards the person who had spoken.

On the ice bed, Xuan Yue, the holy son of the Taiyin Sect, sat reclining, his androgynous face hidden under a fan of yin wind, as he looked at Li Muyun with great interest.

With her silver hair cascading down her shoulders and her peach blossom eyes sparkling with tenderness, she smiled sweetly when she saw Li Muyun's gaze.

Li Muyun's heart skipped a beat, goosebumps rose all over his body, and he quickly turned his gaze away.

Zhu Jiutong took out a golden ring from his pocket and, while gathering his strength, did not reply to Xuan Yue.

After a long while, he finally took out the golden ring and slowly walked to the secret realm where the three groups of people stood and surrounded it.

This secret realm is actually just a portal used to contain the Demon Spirit Battlefield. The Demon Spirit Battlefield has a strange aura and soaring demonic energy. If it is not contained within it, the scattered demonic energy will easily corrode the surrounding land and cause irreversible damage.

"Please bear with us. We will first enter this Demon Spirit Realm. The battlefield key will be activated shortly."

Zhu Jiutong inserted the golden ring into the secret realm, and the realm's light suddenly surged into the sky, forming pathways.

Opening this secret realm had already exhausted Zhu Jiutong's energy; his forehead was covered in sweat, and he kept saying aloud.

"Everyone, please step into the Demonic Spirit Domain first. I will contact the master to activate this Demonic Spirit Battlefield shortly..."

Many disciples were already familiar with the route, and before Zhu Jiutong could speak, they stepped into the passage, turning into clusters of light and disappearing.

Zhang Tianyu, the eldest disciple of the Nine Yang Sect, put away his spirit horse, glanced back at Li Muyun from afar, and strode in arrogantly.

Li Muyun stood at the back of the line, but he looked somewhat uncomfortable.

From the moment he arrived at this secret realm, and now as he prepares to enter this Demon Spirit Domain, a fervent expression, like a leech, has been fixed on him.

In utter desperation, he finally turned around and glanced back.

At first glance, it's just two words: Wow, it's huge!

No, that's too violent...

I feel so irritable.

A glimpse of white breasts heaving beneath a black leather jacket created a striking contrast that left one breathless. The leather jacket accentuated her waist and hip curves, a breathtakingly beautiful display of curves that was both alluring and voluptuous.

She had a devilish figure, adorned with a dashing face, and stared intently at Li Muyun, as if she wanted to devour him alive.

Li Muyun quickly lowered his head, but he could faintly hear bursts of mocking laughter coming from behind him.

Seeing Li Muyun's behavior, the woman laughed so hard she almost fell over, her breasts trembling. However, despite the beautiful spring scenery, the male cultivators around her kept their eyes straight ahead, each as steady as a mountain, resolutely refusing to look at anything they shouldn't.

It's not that the male cultivator has strong willpower and can control himself, but rather that this tigress is so cunning that if he takes even the slightest advantage, he'll lose his eye.

The long line gradually entered the passage, and one by one, they transformed into starlight like flowing water and entered the Demon Spirit Realm.

After sending everyone inside, Zhu Jiutong finally caught his breath. He looked around three times and, finding nothing else amiss, went in last.

When Zhu Jiutong finally entered, the demonic energy of the Demonic Battlefield had accumulated and brewed, hovering in the sky, its howling power terrifying beyond compare.

However, under his secret technique, the Sun and Moon Temple in the distance shone and roared with the light of the sun and moon, and the aura of the sun and moon was incomparably brilliant, directly bombarding the demonic formation.

The demonic energy, intertwined with countless demonic spirits, was purified and cleansed, gradually revealing the thick and mottled gate of the ancient battlefield.

According to the procedure, once the light of the sun and moon has completely purified the demonic energy, everyone can push open the gate and enter the demonic battlefield.

When Zhu Jiutong finished all this and headed towards the place where everyone had gathered, he found that Li Muyun had already been surrounded by three groups of people, all of whom were looking at him with great curiosity.

Zhu Jiutong squeezed through the disciples, circled around to Li Muyun's side, and patted him on the shoulder.

"This is Li Muyun, a prodigy from the Tang Dynasty. Brother Li's swordsmanship is powerful and his mastery of formations is unparalleled. He can be called a monstrous talent."

Zhu Jiutong praised Li Muyun to the people from the three major sects with admiration.

Li Muyun remained expressionless, simply crossing his arms and closing his eyes to rest under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Upon hearing Zhu Jiutong's words, everyone's expressions changed, and they scanned Li Muyun with inquiring and scrutinizing looks.

After scanning him up and down, all that could be discerned was that he was somewhat handsome; nothing else could be seen.

Zhu Jiutong's words clearly praised Li Muyun highly, and for a moment the disciples of the three major sects all looked resentful.

They were the chosen ones of the Sun and Moon Empire, yet Zhu Jiutong called this man from the Great Tang a prodigy and even brought him here for trials, clearly valuing him more than they did.

"Him? A prodigy from the Tang Dynasty? Whether you're a dragon or a tiger, you'll have to cower in my Sun Moon Empire..."

"Exactly, what are they doing coming to our Sun Moon Empire for no reason?"
