How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

"go in!"

Li Muyun looked at the two who were now fully empowered, and without further hesitation, he gripped the Devouring Creation Sword in his hand. The power of devouring surged out like a long snake spitting its tongue, and suddenly devoured the last breath of death at the top of the palace.

A dark passageway emerged from the upside-down palace, leading directly into its interior.

This alone is enough for a few people to see that the palace was not originally in this upside-down shape. It was the swirling of the terrifying aura of death that caused this originally magnificent and ethereal architectural complex to undergo such a bizarre transformation.

Li Muyun charged ahead, sword in one hand and lightning ready to strike in the other. He carried a Vajra Shield on his back, and the Indestructible Vajra Mantra was concentrated all over his body, making him armed to the teeth from head to toe.

After passing through a long, dark corridor, a beam of light suddenly appeared in front of them, and the three of them had already entered the interior of this magnificent palace.

The palace was magnificent and extremely luxurious. The black bricks and tiles on the ground were cool to the touch and bluish-black in color, just like the gray stone that was sold at exorbitant prices outside. This kind of gray stone is cool and smooth and is usually used to build alchemy furnaces, but in this palace, it was just casually laid on the ground.

From afar, four magnificent, towering pillars support the grand palace, with dragons and phoenixes coiled around them, exuding an ethereal aura and auspicious clouds and golden phoenix spirit.

The colossal pillar is divided into three sections, each with a different design, thus dividing the entire palace into three levels.

The first floor palace is the largest and most luxurious, with a spiral staircase leading directly to the second and third floors.

The three of them were stunned for a moment after entering the magnificent building. The interior was not the cold and solemn place they had imagined, but rather a celestial emperor's courtyard.

Zhu Jiutong's index finger twitched as he looked at the luminous pearl the size of a pigeon's egg on the wall, and the ever-burning candles displayed and hanging there.

Even inside the Temple of the Sun and Moon, no one would dare to go to such great lengths to arrange and decorate.

If this were displayed, the people would curse us to death, saying it's a waste of money and resources, a real squandering of wealth!

Zhu Jiutong had an impulse to pack up all the gold and jade items in front of him and take them back to the Immortal Palace.

The antiques, calligraphy and paintings, carved beams and painted rafters in the palace dazzled him. They were all extremely valuable ancient objects that appeared in ancient books, and there were many treasures whose names he did not know.

At first glance, the value of the spirit stones—no, immortal stones—was quickly converted into a mental value that left him increasingly astonished and shocked.

His gold and silver techniques were greatly influenced, and he frequently made breakthroughs in his understanding of the techniques. Just by staying in this place, his gold and silver techniques had improved, let alone by deliberately cultivating them.

"Even celestial palaces and pavilions are nothing more than this, aren't they? If I could obtain this item, what would it matter if I had to give up my life..."

Zhu Jiutong clicked his tongue in disapproval, unable to contain his desire any longer, and quickly ran toward the nearest glass vase.

"do not go!"

As Li Muyun gradually recovered from his initial dazzle, he felt the place was increasingly strange and eerie.

Such treasures would be a considerable fortune even in the great empires, yet they are casually placed here. There are dozens of palaces like this in this place.

It's obvious that this world is powerful and strange. As the upper realm, we must act with caution.

Just as Li Muyun spoke, Zhu Jiutong disregarded everything and ran to the glass bottle.

This is a celadon glass bottle depicting the sun and moon, inscribed with the image of Acala, the Immovable King. The image of Acala stands on a blue-faced demon, his expression solemn and serene, holding a golden treasure. The treasure is inlaid with the sun and moon, and has always been a top-tier ritual object, a supreme divine object offered to immortals.

Zhu Jiutong gently stroked this exquisite instrument; the cool, refreshing touch filled him with ecstasy.

If we could bring this treasure back, how many spirit stones and immortal stones would one of them be worth!

Just as he was immersed in his dream of getting rich, with a loud bang, the originally solemn and magnificent top-grade treasure bottle suddenly trembled and shattered.

Zhu Jiutong was terrified upon seeing this and rushed forward to cover the fragments, trying his best to prevent the bottle from shattering.

How could such a treasure be shattered right before my eyes!

Li Muyun could no longer bear to watch. The energy of the array at his fingertips pulsed and swirled, transforming into a long snake that bound Zhu Jiutong's body, pulling him back in one swift motion.

"What are you doing... The vase is broken!"

Zhu Jiutong was both shocked and furious. He shook off Li Muyun's array snake and questioned him repeatedly.

Li Muyun remained silent, only raising his chin and gazing solemnly into the distance.

Not only that treasure vase, but also a portrait, a chair, and a stone sculpture shattered, as if some terrifying thing was about to revive from within them.

Tear-

The treasure bottle shattered on the ground, and wisps of green smoke floated out from it, condensing into a green-faced demon, the very one that Fudo Myoo had stepped on. It exuded bloodlust, had a green face and fangs, and was extremely terrifying.

A blood-red figure floated out of the portrait in the distance, emitting eerie, gurgling cries, and occasionally disappearing, leaving only a few horrifying blood-red claw marks.

Two more blood-red figures, equally powerful and surging with blood energy, emerged from the fragments of the chair and stone carving, baring their fangs at the three.

All four sleeping blood demons have awakened!

Li Muyun's expression changed, and he unconsciously gripped the Devouring Creation Sword in his hand even tighter as he sized up the nearest blue-faced demon.

The blue-faced demon was rotten all over, sallow and emaciated, looking like a slavishly oppressed slave. The first thing it did after emerging from the vase was to swallow the shards of the vase, as if venting its anger.

These details made the three of them jump. The stench emanating from the evil spirit was foul and pungent, with a chilling aura mixed with the power of corpse poison.

Upon feeling the surging blood energy of the four blood demons, the three of them felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

The blood energy of the four Blood Demons was far too powerful, far exceeding the energy of a Nascent Soul cultivator, making them utterly powerless to fight against!

"Run! Run upstairs! If the Blood Demon doesn't appear upstairs, he shouldn't dare go upstairs!"

Li Muyun immediately shouted and rushed straight upstairs like lightning.

These four blood demons possessed intense auras that almost permeated and enveloped the entire palace. They had awakened from below, suggesting that there must be something above them that they feared.

Now that it's impossible to open the palace gates from the inside, the only way to survive is to run upstairs.

The three figures flashed and rushed straight towards the spiraling armrest.

Seeing the three figures flash by, the four powerful blood demons rushed over at top speed, as if they wanted to stop and devour the three of them.

The green-faced ghost king suddenly grew larger, with a surge of bluish-gray blood energy enveloping its body. The blood-red aura of its entire body condensed, and the mist of corpse poison swept into the sky. Its enormous body, resembling the heavens and the earth, fiercely gripped the three of them with its sharp claws and fangs.
