How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Could such a wondrous sight be hidden at the bottom of this lava pool?

Yao Weiwei was quite curious. Holding the precious pearl in her hand, she wandered around the edge of the cave, occasionally pointing her fingertips at the planktonic organisms on the wall.

As a formation master, understanding and practicing geomancy is also very important. A good formation master must be able to respond to the heavens and the earth.

In comparison, sensing the will of Heaven is far more mysterious and wondrous for array masters. Ordinary array masters would spend their entire lives trying to set up an array that can sense the secrets of Heaven.

In this context, customs and traditions, and the authenticity of formations and terrain, are of particular importance. If one were to formally cultivate as a formation master, the first lesson would certainly be reading maps and geography, and learning how to assess feng shui.

While one doesn't need to become a proper feng shui master, one should still be able to discover and observe ordinary dragon veins winding around mountains and places where spiritual energy gathers and wealth accumulates.

The term "array master" can be considered synonymous with "generalist." To become an array master who is proficient in array formations, one must have knowledge of many disciplines.

However, Li Muyun had a renowned teacher to guide him and possessed the Heavenly Dao Divine Sword, the Devouring Creation Sword, so he had always grown wildly, skipping the underground passage and directly sensing the secrets of heaven.

Even a prodigy like Yao Weiwei, who is highly skilled in array formations, still has to take things one step at a time and patiently hone her skills in array formations. This is the typical approach of most array formation masters.

At this moment, she had never seen such a landscape before. Curious, she used the precious pearl to explore and measure, recording the concentration of spiritual energy, the flow of energy, mineral deposits, and many other key elements of this place.

This flat pit, with several small openings in the walls, doesn't look like a human-shaped cave; it seems to be large enough to accommodate a fox and an Akainu.

Curious, Yao Weiwei walked over and peered into the small opening. A hazy mist of light shone through, but she couldn't see anything clearly.

"Be careful, don't lie down rashly in front of this cave. There are some large, reddish insects in the mine that like to use this to lure their prey..."

Li Muyun sat cross-legged on the ground and saw Yao Weiwei approaching the small hole, so he spoke up to remind her.

At this moment, his energy had improved, and he was no longer as exhausted as before. His true essence was gathering in his body, like water flowing back into a dried-up lake.

"Wow, Li Yinyang knows so much!"

Zi Que chuckled from behind, rubbed Li Muyun's shoulder, and whispered in his ear.

Li Muyun rubbed his nose awkwardly. The girl's sweet voice made his ears go weak, and he quickly straightened up and said.

"It's not time to let our guard down yet. Not to mention whether that red-haired demon will come after us, why would such a secret place appear at the bottom of this lava pool, where the magma is scorching hot?"

Just as Li Muyun sat up, intending to personally investigate the mysteries of this secret place, a violent vortex suddenly swept towards him.

The strong wind smashed through the dark blue walls, swirling up sand and pebbles like an invisible hand, suddenly swirling around everyone and pulling them away.

Li Muyun instinctively wanted to draw his sword to resist the raging wind, but the wind was so strong that it was almost impossible to resist. It wrapped around everyone, passed through the wall, and slammed them hard into the depths of the cave.

clap clap clap!

The group fell to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot, landing in a dark, flat area. Fortunately, the cultivators' bodies were incredibly tough, so this height posed no problem at all.

Li Muyun looked on alert, the Heaven-Devouring Creation Sword in his hand shining brightly as he surveyed his surroundings with utmost seriousness.

This cave is sealed off, how could such a strong wind come from here? Even if it were an ordinary storm, how could it be so powerful, carrying the suppressive force of the soul, making it impossible for him to resist?

But as his gaze swept across the distance, he saw a flaming skeleton with an aura soaring into the sky.

On the bony skeleton, several tendrils meandered and coiled. Although it seemed to have been weathered for a long time, a brilliant flame clung to the pale body, rising with terrifying power, the fire never dying out.

Such power caused Li Muyun's expression to change. It was merely a weathered skeleton, yet the suppressive force it exerted on him was even stronger than that of the red-haired demon.

"Why can't you see me, young one?!"

Just as his thoughts were racing, a booming voice, like a great bell, rang out, almost exploding in the valley.

Li Muyun then raised his gaze and discovered that above the fiery bones, there was a gray divine soul phantom, swirling and circling, looking at everyone with a sinister expression.

In a flash of thought, Li Muyun immediately bowed and greeted the guests.

"I had no intention of disturbing your burial place, and I hope you will forgive me."

Upon hearing Li Muyun speak up, the people behind him quickly bowed and paid their respects to the esteemed senior.

Although this master is now nothing but a flaming skeleton and a broken soul, his aura and power are still incredibly strong. From any perspective, he deserves the title of senior.

"Hmm, you young ones are quite polite. The cultivator who rashly barged into this secret place last time was impetuous and didn't know the rules. He should be in the underworld by now."

The gray, ethereal figure had lowered its brows and eyes, with long, thin hair and beard, exuding an imposing and dignified aura, carrying the domineering power of a superior, as it spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, the group became even more respectful. This senior was deliberately emphasizing that he was a person who valued etiquette and rules.

"I didn't know you were here, senior?"

Li Muyun cupped his hands and spoke, examining the gray phantom of the soul. It was not quite a soul, as its aura was not as solid as a soul, yet it was a fleeting soul form, which was quite rare.

In the world of cultivation, there are countless strange and unusual things, many of which are unfamiliar to us.

Li Muyun's heart skipped a beat. This soul state looked very familiar; he seemed to have seen this soul form before.

Before he could think it through, the gray spirit in front of him spoke in a low voice.

"Yes, I am the Immortal of Divine Fire..."

"Fairy?"

Upon hearing these two words, everyone exclaimed in surprise, and their respect deepened even further.

"Ahem, I am indeed an immortal being, but during my tribulation, a small mishap occurred, resulting in failure and severe injuries. It's a pity..."

At this point, the phantom of the spirit took on a somewhat wistful expression and sighed.

"Logically speaking, if one fails to survive the Nine Heavens Tribulation, one should die and be banished to the Netherworld. I do not want to become a self-disintegrating immortal, nor do I have any hope of becoming a banished immortal. I have only managed to survive thanks to the treasures in my sect."

This phantom spirit had clearly not seen anyone for a long time, and now, disregarding the wishes of the others, it simply continued to tell its own story.

"Although my life has been spared, my spiritual roots are severed and my path to immortality is cut off. How can I be so willing to accept this!"

The divine fire immortal's soul was suddenly startled, and a hint of anger and resentment appeared on his face.

"I am thinking of making a desperate gamble to enter this deadly land of the Crimson Sun and find the legendary Heavenly Sword. If I can gain the favor of the sword, I may be able to complete my path to immortality and fight for a chance to survive."

Seeing that no one reacted, the Divine Fire Immortal raised his voice a few decibels and coughed.

"Then……"

Everyone quickly understood and pressed for more information.

"And then, senior?"
