How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

"Then..."

At this point, the Divine Fire Immortal shook his head repeatedly and sighed deeply.

"To die is a trivial matter; to fail to uphold the great principles is not something to be discussed with outsiders."

Although he kept saying it was not something to be told to outsiders, he kept smacking his lips and glancing over from time to time.

Li Muyun's heart skipped a beat.

That old man, why is he pretending so hard? He takes forever to say something, and he even tries to act like a tragic hero.

However, such a powerful figure could not be offended, so he could only put on a humble and respectful demeanor and bow.

"Senior, your words are misunderstanding. Such immortal beings are powerful experts above the Dao Integration Realm. Their deaths are no small matter. I hope you can enlighten me."

"Very well said, young man. I am also very fond of you. If I were still alive, I would take you as my disciple and guarantee your path to immortality!"

Upon hearing Li Muyun's words, the Divine Fire Immortal beamed with delight. Clearly pleased with the flattery, he reluctantly spoke after painting a rosy picture for Li Muyun.

"In my early years, I traveled across the four continents, always upholding justice and taking it upon myself to slay demons and monsters. Along the way, I traveled, doing chivalrous deeds and honing my fire skills. Hehe, my most proficient skill is the Heavenly Fire Divine Technique. Back then, I roasted three of the five great ghost kings until they were charred. The aroma of those ghosts could be smelled throughout the entire city."

The Divine Fire Immortal cleared his throat, looking smug, but instead of talking about the cause of his death, he began to recount the trivial matters of how he made his fortune in his youth.

Li Muyun's heart skipped a beat. If he had the strength to do so, he would have rushed over and given this old man a good beating. In the end, he still wanted to show off how awesome he was.

If they were truly powerful, they wouldn't be appearing before them in spirit form now, instead plastering smiles on their faces and uttering insincere flattery.

"Not bad, you've got it. When I was your age, I had already entered the Nascent Soul stage, and you're only a..."

The Divine Fire Immortal stroked his chin, his original arrogance turning into a hint of unease after glancing at Li Muyun.

Nascent Soul Stage 6?

With such powerful and abundant true essence, I'm afraid even a Nascent Soul cultivator like myself wouldn't be much different.

The Divine Fire Immortal's heart skipped a beat, but he still pretended to be indifferent and nodded.

"You're passable, but you're still far inferior to me."

The Divine Fire Immortal stared intently at Li Muyun, his gaze never wavering. As for the others, he merely glanced at the six beauties vying for attention before losing interest.

This kid is still young and doesn't understand the importance of cultivation. He's wasting his spiritual roots by indulging in such debauchery...

Hey.

He was about to criticize Li Muyun when he paused, noticing that the golden aura of righteousness above Li Muyun remained steadfast and unwavering.

The vital essence has not been released!

This made the Divine Fire Immortal's expression somewhat unsettled. He only glanced at them briefly, but he could tell that these people all harbored feelings of affection for this young man. If this young man just beckoned, it would be incredibly easy for him to have sex with him.

I never expected this to be such a promising talent!

The Divine Fire Immortal's eyes suddenly lit up, his heart pounding with excitement, realizing that his opportunity had arrived.

"Ahem, young man, you do have some talent, a promising seedling for cultivation. Hmm... where was I?"

Li Muyun respectfully cupped his hands and replied.

"When they talked about how our senior was being chased and killed..."

Although he maintained a humble posture and a sincere expression, a hint of mockery lurked in his eyes.

He wanted to see what trick this old man was up to.

"Oh, right, those who chased me were a huge horde, enemies from all over the country, like the Twin Swallows, the Fire Dragon King, and the Green-Faced Demon Lord, all big shots. They cornered me in this small cave, showing no martial ethics, and attacked all at once, fighting fiercely for three nights."

The Divine Fire Immortal was filled with passion, seemingly wanting to infect Li Muyun.

Li Muyun nodded, exclaiming in amazement and gasping for breath, completely immersed in the story, before asking further questions.

"Senior, and then what?"

The Divine Fire Immortal's face first showed a bold expression, but then turned to a dejected one.

"I fought with all my might to kill three people, but in the end, I was no match for four men."

"The senior has done his best, but human strength is ultimately limited..."

Li Muyun offered a word of comfort at an inopportune moment.

The Divine Fire Immortal sighed and murmured to himself.

"In my life, I have traversed four continents, invincible all the way, shattering mountains and rivers, and annihilating evil and rebellion. I can say that I have achieved a perfect life. But now I realize that I have never had a disciple to inherit my mantle. It is truly a pity."

After saying that, the Divine Fire Immortal secretly glanced at Li Muyun and saw that he was staring at him seriously before he felt relieved.

He waited for a long time but Li Muyun did not speak up to ask to become his disciple, so he said somewhat dejectedly.

"I see you have extraordinary talent; would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Li Muyun chuckled inwardly. The old man finally couldn't hide it anymore, making it really difficult for him to act along.

He quickly put on a frightened and alarmed expression.

"Senior, you are a venerable immortal, how can this be allowed?"

The Divine Fire Immortal waved his sleeve, indicating that it was alright.

“I am destined to meet you. You need not belittle yourself. I see that your energy is unstable and your spirit is not well. This bit of crimson fire is the gift that we, master and disciple, will exchange.”

Without waiting for Li Muyun's consent, the Divine Fire Immortal sent a wisp of crimson-gold light into Li Muyun's body.

Li Muyun felt a tremor run through his body and mind. The incredibly gentle light made him feel extremely comfortable, and all the fatigue from his previous battle with the red-haired man was completely restored.

Since he was going to go all the way with the act, he quickly bowed and paid his respects to the Divine Fire Immortal.

Seeing that Li Muyun had benefited, the Divine Fire Immortal quickly descended, his face beaming with an irrepressible smile.

"Let me examine your spiritual roots and aptitude?"

After saying that, he burst into laughter, and his soul rushed into Li Muyun's body.

I have been imprisoned in this godforsaken place for over a hundred years.

Now we've finally found a promising talent. Once I possess this body and turn to fire magic, I might just be able to embark on the path to immortality again!

In this life, he summarized many experiences and suspected that it was because he became famous at a young age and indulged in beauty and revelry every night that his spiritual root became weak and he could not keep up with his cultivation later.

Just as he was filled with grand ambitions and reveling in the possibility of being reborn and ascending to the path of immortality, he suddenly looked up and discovered that three divine souls were already standing in front of him.

Wow, this promising seedling is truly exceptional!

Three old bastards have already parasitized me before I did, tsk tsk tsk.

At this moment, the Divine Fire Immortal was still confused about the situation. He thought that Li Muyun was too popular and was about to introduce himself and have a go with the three of them when...

Then, Li Muyun, with an innocent expression, appeared out of nowhere, shrugged at the three of them, and looked helpless, as if he had delivered himself to them.

"What's going on?" The Divine Fire Immortal, sensing something amiss, looked up abruptly and trembled with fear.
