How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

A mysterious and profound Daoist aura swirled and rose, sometimes blazing hot, sometimes chilling cold, transforming into Yin and Yang energies that soared into the sky and swirled around Zhu Yan's body.

The previously disheveled Zhu Yan shed her dusty appearance, and a mysterious Daoist aura slowly rose and emerged, like stars and raindrops, falling into Li Muyun's spiritual realm, creating ripples of spiritual mist, making Zhu Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, look like an immortal descending to earth.

Li Muyun had already grasped the principles of this Taiji diagram formation, and spent more than a month refining it until he could use it freely.

But Zhu Yan had only just entered Li Muyun's spiritual realm and come into contact with this formation when, like a thunderbolt striking the earth, it was an innate destiny. The Tai Chi diagram transformed into a joyful yin-yang fish, swirling around Zhu Yan.

This scene left Li Muyun stunned, and a hint of envy flashed through his mind.

He had always been admired and envied by others for his mastery of array formations, but now his newly accepted junior brother was a true prodigy of array formations. Such talent and intelligence moved him deeply.

Of course, Zhu Yan is now his junior brother. The stronger his mastery of array formations and his talent, the happier he will be. Being able to discover this gem and prevent it from being obscured brings him a great deal of joy.

"Wonderful! Truly beyond words! Wonderful! In harmony with heaven and earth, the pure source of creation! Such talent is truly worthy of being my disciple, the Long-Eared Immortal!"

Long-eared Immortal stared at Zhu Yan before him, his expression growing increasingly fervent. He nodded repeatedly, wishing he could immediately impart all his knowledge to Zhu Yan.

Even Li Muyun couldn't help but have such thoughts.

Li Muyun himself has an extraordinary background, with many connections to his destiny, and he is favored by the Devouring Heaven Creation Sword, allowing him to choose from a wide range of inheritances. It is difficult for him to focus solely on the art of array formations like Zhu Yan.

If I could pass on all my knowledge and skills to the two of them, what would it matter if I could only exist in the world as a spirit?

The long-eared immortal smiled. The major matter that had been on his mind was now somewhat relieved in the face of the joy of gaining a new disciple of the Array Dao.

Li Muyun stared intently at Zhu Yan, whose head was surrounded by a halo of light, and who seemed to have entered a wondrous state of creation.

Just now, when the two of them were transforming this supreme Yin-Yang formation, Zhu Yan was extremely excited. The Great Ming Fire was boiling and surging, and the Yang light was intense, giving the supreme Dao another kind of power.

Together with Li Muyun, they deduced the Great Dao, revealing a corner of the complex and indescribable ancient Dao patterns of the Taiji diagram, enough to glimpse more of the supernatural powers and methods of this supreme Dao.

Even with their current mastery of array formations, they still only have a partial understanding of this profound and ineffable Taiji diagram and find it difficult to make calculations.

The Taiji Diagram's supreme formation is so vast and powerful that it is beyond the comprehension of two novice practitioners, let alone their mastery.

Previously, Li Muyun had only comprehended the diagram and borrowed the essence of the formation. However, if he were to release the Taiji diagram alone, he could only barely decipher many key points and release a mental imprint.

As for its interpretation of the Tai Chi symbol, it naturally differs considerably from its original meaning.

With the help of the Long-Eared Immortal, who guided the two step by step, each of them occupied a major array eye and used Yin and Yang energy to enter the Dao with their bodies and constantly pondered and comprehended this supreme array intent.

The profound foundation of the Supreme Dao is truly magnificent. Within the Taiji Diagram, the Daoist principles it contains are no longer merely a formation, but rather embody the Dao of Yin and Yang. The arrangement of formations has thus been transformed into a matter of enlightenment.

Li Muyun observed Zhu Yan intently as she entered a state of enlightenment. Zhu Yan had a shorter time to master the Tai Chi diagram than he had, but her deduction method was ingenious, her conception novel, and her progress was exactly the same.

This is also a new understanding and interpretation for him.

"Alright, my divine sense is a bit tired. I'll take your junior brother to the meditation room. He's currently in a state of enlightenment and needs to go into seclusion for a while. Perhaps when we meet again, he'll have explored most of the Great Dao. It would be excellent for the two of you to exchange ideas and learn from each other..."

The long-eared fairy exhaled, shaking its large, snow-white ears, finally showing signs of mental exhaustion.

Although Li Muyun pulled Zhu Yan into his spiritual space to impart Daoist techniques and perform supreme Daoist divination, the mental exertion required was evident.

Even though Li Muyun's spiritual power was formidable, it was still a challenge to even support such a supreme Dao, let alone for him.

Li Muyun nodded, and with a thought, he teleported Zhu Yan away.

Zhu Yan moved swiftly and appeared in the quiet room before her. Her eyes were closed, her expression was normal, and a rosy glow surrounded her head. She was still deeply immersed in a state of enlightenment.

The reason why Zhu Yan was able to move out of the spiritual space so smoothly was largely because she was completely unprepared and her mind was fully open.

Li Muyun's heart stirred, and he sighed inwardly once again.

Ordinary cultivators are most wary of this. If they open their minds and are pulled into the other party's spiritual space, they are at the mercy of the other party, and have no power to resist.

Even the closest of friends would find it difficult to agree so readily, yet Zhu Yan, the second prince of the Zhu family, readily agreed upon hearing the news, without any sense of vigilance or resistance.

It is evident that such a person, who is devoted to the Dao, would not find it strange at all even if he achieved great success in the Dao of Formations.

This quiet room is hidden in the backyard of the artificial hill. The room is not large, but it has everything you need. It has all kinds of array mannequins and is filled with the finest natural materials. The courtyard walls are inlaid with clear stones, and there are quiet candles everywhere on the tables, chairs and tea tables.

The Kongming Stone is a material used in formations. It is dense and hard, and its sound insulation effect is excellent. It is embedded in the walls in all directions, so no sound can be leaked out.

The quiet room was filled with a wonderful fragrance, peaceful and serene, making it a superior place for those who want to devote themselves to studying array formations.

Li Muyun nodded, confirming that Zhu Yan would not be disturbed in any way while he was cultivating here. He then carefully slipped out and met Zhu Jiutong, who was waiting outside.

"How is Brother Li?"

Zhu Jiutong hurriedly came forward, showing great concern for his second brother.

"Zhu Yan has become my junior brother. With the master's approval, he has been formally accepted as my junior brother. He is currently in seclusion in the meditation room, undergoing profound enlightenment. Please send some people to watch over him and make sure there are no unexpected changes."

"Okay...no problem."

Zhu Jiutong nodded repeatedly, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

My second brother is arrogant and only likes the art of array formations. If he ignores him and remains indifferent, he might anger Li Muyun and damage the harmony between our two families, which would be a disaster.

Thinking of the servants' bullying and shirking earlier, Zhu Jiutong's expression turned cold. This time, he was determined to make proper arrangements for his second brother.

After resolving Zhu Yan's matter, Li Muyun felt a sense of relief.

It was a pleasant surprise that he was able to accept Zhu Yan on this trip. He was originally only ordered by the Sun and Moon Emperor to impart this formation to him.

But Zhu Yan was indeed a genius in the art of array formations, and it was only natural that he would be taken under Rabbit Lord's wing, so that Rabbit Lord could have another junior brother who was proficient in array formations.

It's truly a win-win situation.

However, it seems that my current mastery of array formations has reached a bottleneck. If I want to make further progress...
