How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Within the fiery space, Li Muyun endured the scorching heat of the sky and the golden sword light, finally reaching the summit of Sword Mountain.

The throne was within reach in the distance, and at this moment, he was finally able to see the figure on the throne.

The person on the throne was not some powerful immortal, but a crystal-clear immortal skeleton. The immortal skeleton had an arrogant and conceited expression, coldly glancing at Li Muyun and scoffing.

"You overestimating ant, wanting to be recognized as my master! That's just wishful thinking. A mere sword ranked at the bottom is far from enough to impress me!"

Li Muyun was engulfed in raging flames, his entire body bathed in the blazing inferno, turning into a greasy mess that obscured his face. His flesh and bones had turned into a pool of molten blood, and he was standing on the Sword Mountain almost entirely by sheer willpower.

"Really? Why don't you give it a try?"

Li Muyun sneered a few times, his jawbone, which was about to melt, opened and closed, while his eyes, like tear-shaped candles, were fixed on the immortal bone.

"Hmph, stubborn and incorrigible! Today I'll show you what the flames of tyranny truly are!"

With a loud snort, Xian Gu unleashed a sword aura of overwhelming power that filled the sky, while the domineering Li Huo crashed headlong into Li Muyun's body.

This time, however, it wasn't about scorching his physical body, but rather about refining his soul and dantian.

For cultivators, the places where they nurture their vital energy are nothing more than their soul and dantian. These two can be said to be the lifeblood of cultivators, places that must never be damaged.

The immortal bone splitting into divine flames to scorch Li Muyun's soul and dantian was clearly intended to kill him.

However, when this domineering divine soul fire rushed into Li Muyun's dantian, the usually fierce and domineering Li Huo Di Yan actually showed a hint of fear and dared not rush into it again.

Ok?

Sensing the anomaly, the Immortal Bone snorted coldly and once again activated its domineering imperial flame, crashing into Li Muyun's soul. However, this time, it seemed to have completely enraged the jade piece within Li Muyun's dantian.

The jade piece shimmered with light, its aura soaring to the heavens, surrounded by sacred radiance. A powerful pressure emerged, as if it had been provoked. Milky white light bloomed, and in one gulp, it devoured the imperial flame completely.

Immortal Bone, who was originally furious, suddenly became serious. He quickly withdrew the Emperor Flame from his hand and it fled from Li Muyun's dantian.

The usually arrogant and domineering immortal was now facing a formidable enemy, his expression filled with terror. Upon seeing the true form of the jade piece, he hurriedly waved away the flames in his hand and stared at Li Muyun with some suspicion.

"How did you get this jade piece..."

After saying that, Xian Gu paused, his empty, pale pupils staring blankly at Li Muyun. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he sighed.

"Fine, if you can find my true form in this space, I will acknowledge you as my master."

Li Muyun's heart skipped a beat. The blazing flames in his soul stopped burning, and even the flames on his physical body went out.

The spirit of the divine sword reacted with such a stark contrast upon seeing this jade piece.

He knew that this jade tablet was of extremely high status, containing the Three Thousand Great Daos. However, he had been so engrossed in cultivation recently that he had no way to contemplate the Great Daos, which was why he had not been able to enter the jade tablet often.

Now that the jade tablet has appeared, the spirit of the divine sword is already considering acknowledging it as its master just by seeing its form. It seems that in the future, it will need to observe the jade tablet more and comprehend the great Dao within it.

“Alright, it’s a deal. Once I find your true form, you will acknowledge me as your master.”

"Ah."

Surprisingly, the domineering immortal didn't refute, but simply hummed in agreement without offering further explanation.

Upon hearing this, Li Muyun no longer hesitated and began searching within the massive Sword Mountain.

He had glanced at the Emperor Flame Blazing Sword before; when it appeared in the city lord's hand, it was golden in shape, with a blazing aura that spread and expanded, making it incomparably powerful.

However, within this Sword Mountain, the entire mountainside is filled with these golden longswords, all with the same aura and power. Trying to find the Emperor Flame Blazing Sword among them is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

But the divine sword has spoken, and this is the only way to gain its approval...

Li Muyun examined each sword carefully, but even with just a cursory glance, he could tell that there were at least ten thousand golden longswords on the top level. Adding them up from the more than one hundred steps, there were probably hundreds of thousands of them scattered around.

If you look at them one by one, it will take forever.

Li Muyun looked at the immortal bone again, only to see the immortal bone slumped on the throne, its expression cold, its face showing more reluctance and indignation.

Given the arrogance of the Emperor Flame Blazing Sword, even with the help of a jade tablet, it would be difficult to win its heart. So, rather than searching for the sword's true form, it would be more about gaining its approval.

Each of these divine swords could potentially be his original form; this is definitely not what he wants.

Li Muyun's mind raced, a series of thoughts flashing through his mind, but then his eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

The golden flames that had been extinguished suddenly reignited in his heart, burning and spreading, gradually clinging to his soul and body.

Sensing the resurgence of golden flames, the immortal's expression turned solemn. His body, which had been slumped on the throne, straightened up, staring blankly at Li Muyun, who was being scorched by the flames in the distance.

The golden flames were not caused by him, but rather Li Muyun ignited the flames on his own, scorching his own soul and body.

Immortal Bone stared at Li Muyun amidst the raging flames, while Li Muyun stared back at Immortal Bone. The excruciating heat and burning sensation coursed wildly across his soul and body, threatening to tear him apart.

Yet he remained unmoved by sheer willpower, even as the fiery serpents engulfed the Nascent Soul figure, the entire figure enveloped in golden flames.

My soul was injured, and a dizzying sensation of the world spinning over came over me. Everything in front of me became blurry, as if everything was about to be torn apart and ended.

Immortal Bone was still staring at Li Muyun, but his knuckles were clenched so tightly they cracked, and he kept a close eye on him, not daring to be careless in the slightest. If he was careless, his future would be ruined!

He was just arrogant, but not stupid. The person in front of him possessed such a jade piece and was recognized by the Devouring Creation Sword. His future was bound to be limitless.

Just as Li Muyun was about to faint, Xian Gu shouted and flew straight into the sky. In an instant, the entire Fire Prison space was filled with ten thousand swords flying together. Ten thousand golden swords merged into one, forming a golden sword surrounded by blazing golden light and permeated with the aura of imperial flames.

A true dragon coiled around the spine of the sword, its five-clawed golden dragon opening its mouth as if to spew forth the Emperor's Flame, which surged forth in a dense and intense manner, like a fire that made heaven and earth submit. It swirled around the sword and floated into Li Muyun's hand.

Li Muyun's weakness vanished instantly, his mind immersed in the indescribable Daoist charm. The fiery space before him crumbled one scene after another, revealing the original Crimson Sun Palace.

At this moment, in the Crimson Sun Palace, the red-haired man was raging with murderous intent. After sealing the Great Green Ox, he wanted to kill Wuren with a single punch.

Suddenly, a figure appeared before them, holding a golden longsword in his hand—it was Li Muyun!
