How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

"Hey, what's going on? Why is it so hot? Is this the imperial palace? Is the imperial palace of the Sun Moon Empire really this rustic?"

A figure in coarse linen clothes appeared, carrying a large green gourd in his hand. Several of these wine gourds were tied to the slender waist of the woman in the linen clothes. Every now and then, she would take one, raise her head, and take a sip. The delicate and mellow wine was intoxicating.

Occasionally, when the force was too strong, a few drops of wine would splash out and land on the surging peaks that the hemp clothing could not conceal, creating a beautiful sight under the blazing sun.

It was Li Xianjiu, who had come to find his junior brother on the orders of his master, who was now completely drunk and staggering to the Chiyang Death Land.

The view she mistook for the imperial palace was actually the Chiyang Gate.

"Junior Brother went to the palace? Isn't that in here?"

Li Xianjiu shook her head, but didn't shake off much of her drunkenness. Instead, it caused her breasts to heave. Unfortunately, in this deadly place, no one could appreciate such a beautiful spring scene.

"Why is it so hot in the palace? Is it because it's daytime in the Sun and Moon Empire that it's so hot?"

After thinking for a while, Li Xianjiu gulped down another mouthful of wine, feeling refreshed. He patted the several large wine gourds tied to his waist, feeling even more at ease.

I'm so clever. I'm never good at finding people; it's a tedious job. But if I drink along the way, it won't be so bad. I can experience the local customs and taste the wines from different places, and maybe even find Xiao Yunyun at the same time.

Hmm, that's really good...

Li Xianjiu's cheeks were flushed, and she was already deeply drunk. However, how could someone who had always loved alcohol so much possibly force out the effects of the alcohol with her true energy?

The slightest thought of this is disrespectful to Dionysus!

Li Xianjiu's steps were unsteady. She took a few steps forward in a daze, muttering to herself that the palace was too hot.

It's a land of lava with hardly any palaces or buildings. Even if the Sun Moon Empire is weak, it shouldn't be so weak that it can't even afford to build a palace.

I had long heard that the Sun and Moon Emperor had spent countless resources and effort building the Sun and Moon Holy City, and that the Holy City was magnificent and grand. But now it seems that this is all there is to it.

Just as Li Xianjiu was filled with surprise and confusion, still wondering why the Sun Moon Empire's palace was located in such a scorching, deadly place, she was completely baffled.

In the distance, flames surged from the Crimson Sun Gate, stirring up bursts of crimson clouds. The raging vortex of flames swept across the sky once more, bringing a sense of solemnity to the heavens.

Upon noticing this strange change in the world, Li Xianjiu was stunned for a moment. He suddenly patted the wine pot on his chest, drank a mouthful of fine wine, and then spat out ten thousand awe-inspiring sword energies, which intertwined in front of him and transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long sword aura to resist the violent vortex.

Fortunately, her sword intent was solid, and with the help of strong liquor, the fiery storm lasted for a full half incense stick before slowly dissipating.

After the wind blew, the once dilapidated plaque buried by sand on the Chiyang Gate revealed three imposing characters: "Chiyang Gate".

Li Xianjiu walked aimlessly to the foot of the Crimson Sun Gate before she could see the three large characters clearly. Her heart skipped a beat, and she realized that she was lost.

From the moment I entered the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire using this Great Universe Talisman, I lost my way. I originally intended to be near the capital, but I encountered turbulent currents and drifted away to who knows where.

Along the way, she asked for directions and was also attracted by the wine. As she searched, she inexplicably found herself in a more and more remote place. She was told to go north and see a bright place, which meant she had arrived in the capital. She continued north and ended up in this place.

Even if one knows very little about the Sun and Moon Empire, upon seeing the three large characters "Red Sun Gate," one knows that one has mistakenly entered this deadly Red Sun Land.

One of the three deadly zones of the Sun Moon Empire.

Li Xianjiu held the wine pot, resting her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought. Under the influence of the alcohol, her mind was also much slower, and her thoughts were running wild.

"Since we're already here, let's go take a look. Who knows, we might find some treasure in this deadly place, and bring it back to Xiaoyun..."

Without thinking twice, Li Xianjiu slapped his thigh, picked up the wine pot, stepped through the Chiyang Gate, and entered the Chiyang Dead Zone.

……

Li Muyun sat cross-legged beside Yao Weiwei for a while, and after she had recovered some strength, she immediately set off.

She had heard Lie Kong's words and knew that there were many pursuers from the Temple of the Sun, so she could not linger here any longer.

Li Muyun and Yao Weiwei quickly flashed out. Before leaving, they used their devouring power again to completely devour all the magical battles, array arrangements, and movement patterns within the cave.

His consciousness flickered, and the array patterns appeared, allowing him to contact the Great Blue Ox.

Back when he and Yao Weiwei entered this cave, he had entrusted the five beauties to the Great Green Ox. The five of them were only at the Nascent Soul stage, and facing such a powerful enemy, they would only be a burden and a weakness.

After a while, he finally reunited with everyone, accompanied by Li Muyun and Yao Weiwei.

After this life-or-death battle, Qingniao's injuries were only slightly relieved, and she still needed someone to take care of her and support her. The group had lost their previous carefree attitude and became extremely cautious, finally showing some of the demeanor of Yin-Yang Guards.

Upon seeing this scene, Li Muyun couldn't help but sigh.

Although he had given them a heads-up before, they didn't take it seriously until they encountered the Sun God Temple cultivators who made things difficult for them, at which point they became wary.

People can't learn by being taught, but they can learn by being taught.

Before they could even sigh, Li Muyun led his group, proceeding cautiously and carefully, trying their best to avoid revealing their auras, almost hiding here and there, towards the suspended Chiyang Island in the sky.

Just when he thought he had covered his tracks perfectly and left no trace, many cultivators dressed in crimson robes appeared on the distant horizon, the most conspicuous feature being the blazing sun on their chests.

The cultivators from the Yangshen Temple! Their persistent spirits have followed us again!

Li Muyun felt a surge of anger, but when he thought of the hidden Void Refinement cultivator on the other side, he immediately abandoned his thoughts of counterattacking and could only flee deeper into the area.

Facing a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, he might still have a fighting chance with various means, but against a Void Refinement cultivator, he had absolutely no chance of winning.

A cultivator who has mastered the Void Refinement stage has achieved a qualitative leap in spiritual energy, as their spiritual root is unified with the five elements and they can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is unlike cultivators who have mastered the Nascent Soul stage, who still need to nurture their energy. They are invincible in battle and their energy is inexhaustible.

Li Muyun had no choice but to lead a few people and rush towards the depths of the suspended Crimson Sun Island, while dealing with the encirclement and suppression of the Sun God Temple cultivators.

Fortunately, most of these cultivators were at the Nascent Soul stage, and the few who were at the Divine Transformation stage were only at the early stage and did not pose a significant threat.

The group attacked and retreated along the way, fighting as they ran. Li Muyun, in particular, wielded the incomparably sharp Devouring Creation Sword. Whenever he drew his sword, he would inevitably kill many cultivators, as there were no strong opponents who could stop him.

For some unknown reason, the temple's cultivators swarmed in like ants from all directions, with pursuers both above and below.

Behind them stretched an almost entirely crimson ocean, with crimson robes fluttering everywhere. The Yang energy technique was incredibly powerful, chasing after the crowd.
