How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Thinking about this, Li Muyun felt somewhat depressed.

Looking up at the Sun and Moon Emperor, he found him smiling at him. The smile vanished in an instant, and he said seriously.

"Due to the restrictions of the secret realm, one must naturally be blessed by the national fortune to enter it. Two of you are outstanding talents of my Sun Moon Empire, and as for you, Li Muyun, you have exceptional talent in array formations and are of upright character. You may well be able to gain the recognition of the national fortune."

"Now that the three of you have come here, there is no need to worry about matters of national destiny."

Zhu Hongwu's expression hardened, and he spoke calmly. Meanwhile, the distant clouds surged wildly, transforming into beams of warm spiritual light that swirled and churned in the sky.

Hearing this, Li Muyun finally felt relieved.

It suddenly dawned on me. I had thought it was all for naught, but then I realized that someone as great as the Emperor could not possibly make such a mistake.

At the same time, his expression changed slightly, and he finally understood the deeper calculations involved.

So this is where the Emperor was waiting for him.

I thought I had gained a great creation array for free, but now it seems I lost my life because of an array.

Even though he was a foreigner, the Sun and Moon Emperor didn't care at all. It turned out that he was waiting for him at the step of national recognition.

If one wants to enter this secret place to comprehend the formation, one must bear the national fortune of the Sun and Moon Empire. Once recognized by the national fortune, one will be connected with the Sun and Moon Empire.

We share the same fate as the Sun and Moon Empire, and we share the same fate as it!

In other words, he turned himself into half a member of the Sun and Moon Empire for the sake of this formation.

With a thought racing through his mind, Li Muyun finally understood the intricacies of the situation and realized why the Sun and Moon Emperor had such a radiant smile on his face earlier.

This move is truly ingenious! In this way, the great formation can be fully comprehended, and a genius in the art of formations can be found for free!

It’s high, really high!

Li Muyun's Adam's apple bobbed as he realized that from the moment he stepped out of the Sun Moon Empire, he had been gradually falling into their trap.

Such imperial strategies are far beyond his current comprehension and understanding.

But when he came to his senses, it didn't seem so bad. His sense of identification with the Tang Dynasty was now at rock bottom. If it weren't for the fact that the Sword Pavilion members were still in the Tang Dynasty, he would have lost his last bit of patience long ago.

"Well... everyone, let's calm down and wait for the test of the nation's destiny."

Zhu Hongwu glanced at Li Muyun and, seeing that he looked normal and nothing seemed amiss, was relieved.

As he expected, he recruited these array prodigies with minimal effort.

Haha, Li Tiandi, oh Li Tiandi, this time I really have to thank you...

Suppressing his elation, Zhu Hongwu waved his hand and, amidst the hopeful gazes of the three, suddenly pulled out a broken bowl.

The broken bowl has a celadon glaze and ordinary decorations. From a distance, it looks no different from the tools used by ordinary farmers to serve food and rice. There is even a crack in the edge.

Li Muyun's expression twitched, and he almost curled his lips into a smile, but he quickly suppressed it and stared blankly at the broken bowl.

"You can see this treasure of mine clearly. If it weren't for its protection and its companionship throughout my growth, I might have starved to death on that snowy night long ago..."

As Zhu Hongwu spoke, he lovingly rubbed the broken bowl in his arms, his face full of emotion.

Both Ma Jia and Yao Weiwei were deeply moved, their faces filled with admiration and reverence as they stared intently at the broken bowl, as if they were gazing upon some divine object.

Only Li Muyun, being an outsider, was somewhat clueless.

"I was only a little kid back then, and I suffered one misfortune after another. If it weren't for finding this treasure... well, let's not dwell on the past."

Zhu Hongwu sighed twice, waved his hand, and his previous melancholy and sighs vanished. He then suddenly shouted.

"go with!"

The broken porcelain bowl in his hand suddenly flew out, hovering in the air, constantly enlarging, its patterns and carvings swirling and turning, and faintly, the surrounding clouds kept gathering and drawing it in.

"This! The Sun and Moon Universe Lamp!"

The young girl, Yao Weiwei, blushed and exclaimed excitedly, staring intently at the broken porcelain bowl, her expression one of barely suppressed excitement.

This supreme immortal artifact, which has always been recorded in historical books and the list of divine weapons in the world, has finally revealed its true form.

The unassuming broken bowl that the Sun and Moon Emperor would treasure so much must be none other than the Sun and Moon Empire's national treasure, the Sun and Moon Universe Cup.

As Zhu Hongwu's energy was injected, the Sun and Moon Universe Cup hovering in the air suddenly changed. It exuded a vast and boundless divine charm, with the sun and moon moving and dancing within the rim of the bowl. It was all-encompassing, as if it contained all things in the universe.

This change left Li Muyun speechless. The once broken and tattered porcelain bowl was actually a national treasure of the Sun Moon Empire!

"Show!"

Zhu Hongwu roared again, and the sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling came out from the Sun and Moon Universe Lamp, roaring and trembling throughout the entire secret realm, transforming into streaks of dragon and tiger flames, with fierce energy and overwhelming power.

The images of dragons and tigers swirled and lingered, spreading out from the Qiankun Lamp, with nine dragons and nine tigers flying out. Above and below the heavens, dragons and tigers followed each other, displaying an overwhelming and domineering aura of supreme power.

This is the location of the national destiny within the Sun and Moon Qiankun Cup, which is the destiny of the Dragon and Tiger separated by fire, blessed by the true dragon and heavenly tiger, with terrifying power.

This oppressive force swirled and surged towards the three people who remained in place.

All three felt a sudden weight lift from their bodies and minds. The overwhelming power and pressure were beyond description; it was a wondrous radiance that seemed to pierce through their very souls and consciousness.

However, the sense of separation and oppression in their hearts quickly dissipated, turning into the nourishment and acceptance of a gentle spring breeze.

The two were native to the Sun Moon Empire, and their talent in array formations was outstanding and astonishing. They quickly gained the recognition of the Sun Moon Empire's national destiny.

Only Li Muyun had cold sweat pouring down his forehead. The Dragon-Tiger Kingdom's fortune was boiling and roaring, trying to investigate him thoroughly, but it was still swirling and lingering, refusing to dissipate.

Li Muyun endured the intense physical and mental pain, and felt a growing sense of unease.

No matter what, he was still a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Now, he had gone to the forbidden land of the Sun and Moon Empire to seek the approval of its national destiny. It was rather strange.

He wasn't sure if the fate of the Sun Moon Empire would recognize him.

Just as his heart was in turmoil, the Dragon-Tiger Fire Luck suddenly changed. The Dragon-Tiger aura surrounding Li Muyun became extremely violent, with dragons leaping and tigers bounding, divine light shining brightly, and strange phenomena appearing one after another.

Zhu Hongwu was startled, his expression turned solemn as he stared at the pulsating national fortune, his heart filled with turmoil.

What's going on here?

This Li Muyun actually caused such a riot in the Dragon Tiger Fire Luck.

Li Muyun will have a huge impact on the fate of the Sun Moon Empire in the future, which is why he was able to be involved in this strange phenomenon of the Li Fire.

Interestingly, the calm water surface was suddenly rippled.

Zhu Hongwu's expression flickered, suppressing his surprise, and he pressed down hard with his palm, causing the pulsating fire to enter Li Muyun's body.

Sweating profusely, Li Muyun finally felt relieved and successfully gained the nation's approval.
