How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

The Temple of the Sun God is located on Mount Yanling, a mountain known for its intense heat, with fiery peaks and blazing clouds. The mountain is also rich in fiery springs, where spiritual flames surge.

But the most magnificent and spectacular sight has to be the Sun and Fire Line on Yanling Mountain. Every time the sun rises, the blazing sun appears on the horizon, igniting a thousand miles of fiery clouds. The sun and clouds reflect each other, creating a beautiful and colorful scene.

The Temple of the Sun has always taken the worship and sacrifice of the Sun God as its religious tenet, drawing upon the power of the Sun God to develop the Sun God's Sun Flame Technique.

In the heyday of Shintoism, there were countless sects, large and small, that worshipped the gods of the sun and moon. The worship of the sun and moon has a long history, and the Sun Temple was just one of the insignificant sects among them.

However, later the divine path declined, the Heavenly Court collapsed, the path to immortality was severed, and the sects that were originally able to receive the blessings of the gods perished.

The Temple of the Sun God has become a rather fortunate sect, escaping the fall of the divine path and gradually growing stronger by relying on the legacy of the Sun God. Now, it is showing some promise.

The purpose of sending out this group is to obtain the Heavenly Creation Divine Sword, which is a decree sent down by the Sun God.

The Emperor Flame Blazing Sword caused a great dispute, leading to a fierce battle with Li Muyun and others. He even went so far as to send key members of the temple to capture Li Muyun alive.

At this moment, Li Xianjiu rushed to the foot of Yanling Mountain. Without delay, she flew along on her sword, and the big blue ox behind her was also forced to run at full speed. The two of them chose the nearest teleportation gate and then walked to Yanling Mountain.

Although the Temple of the Sun God is not a prestigious sect, it is not an evil sect either. However, it is still not favored by the authorities. It usually keeps a low profile and only talks about carrying out the will of the Sun God to collect fire spirits.

Therefore, after the man and the ox were teleported to the nearest city, they immediately headed towards Yanling Mountain.

The people of the Sun God Temple are scattered throughout Yanling Mountain. The temple is open to the public, and inside the temple are large and small temples that enshrine various statues of the Sun God, and the incense is very strong.

With a cold expression and sharp sword aura, Li Xianjiu rushed to the foot of Yanling Mountain. Without the slightest hesitation, he carried his sword up the mountain and strode forward with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger.

Behind him, the big blue ox looked dejected, its ears drooping, taking small, shuffling steps on the mountain path, its tail sometimes swishing and sometimes not, looking listless.

Visitors to the Sun God Temple who came to offer sacrifices were taken aback and stopped to look at the peculiar combination of a bull and a person. When they saw Li Xianjiu, their expressions became more complicated.

Li Xianjiu charged forward with her sword, her sword energy crisscrossing and her sword light overflowing, clearing a path with overwhelming momentum. Anyone who blocked her way was forced back by the power of her sword.

This provocative act naturally attracted everyone's attention, and a number of Sun God Temple cultivators appeared, blocking the way for Yi Niu and Yi Ren.

"Miss! This is the sacred site of the Sun God Temple. If you wish to enter, you must disarm yourself!"

Hearing the advice, Li Xianjiu merely snorted coldly, his sword intent suddenly condensing, the sword light exploding, and he charged forward with his sword.

The pilgrims and tourists who had been watching the spectacle were horrified and hurriedly fled down the mountain, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

"You audacious scoundrel! How dare you offend the might of the Sun God! Today, the Sun God has sent down his divine decree to take you down!"

The cultivator who had initially offered advice changed his expression. Flames of golden light surged in his palm, rippling outwards and dazzling like a blooming golden lotus, colliding fiercely with Li Xianjiu's sword light.

"Where is my junior brother?!"

At this moment, Li Xianjiu could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She suddenly shouted and slapped the wine pot that was wrapped around her waist. The wine pot, which was originally shaped like a gourd vine, flew up one after another and strung together to form a dazzling and cold long sword.

It was her natal magic sword, a Heaven-level magic weapon—the Wine God Sword.

The powerful Dionysus Sword hovered in the sky and flew into Li Xianjiu's hand. Strangely enough, the Dionysus Sword, which originally had an ordinary aura, suddenly changed after flying into Li Xianjiu's hand.

Soaring sword energy erupted forth, and the aroma of wine filled the air, permeating the entire Flame Spirit Mountain. The fragrance of wine filled the sky, and the sword intent was pervasive.

Li Xianjiu's expression turned cold as she gripped the Wine God Sword. Her aura changed dramatically; she was no longer a naive young girl, but a cold and ruthless assassin swordswoman.

The sword's momentum was like a rainbow, surging and dancing wildly. The streams of light emanating from the Dionysus Sword transformed into long serpents, wielding the sword freely and blooming down from the sky.

Li Xianjiu's sword light splashed out like ink from a freehand brush, the seemingly gentle sword energy was full of power, spreading out and shattering the cultivators of the Sun God Temple.

Seeing that Li Xianjiu was going all out, the big blue ox behind him could no longer play dead. It let out a bellow and charged forward, rushing up the steps.

The man and the ox charged forward, gradually climbing to the main gate of the Temple of the Sun. Stepping through the main gate, they saw several statues of the Sun God, high above, with indifferent and proud expressions, like deities looking down upon all living beings.

Covered in blood, Li Xianjiu finally made it to the front gate. Half of her internal energy and true essence had been depleted, leaving her feeling exhausted.

At this moment, she suddenly pulled out a small gilded jar from her bosom. She always drank casually, and no matter how fine the wine was, she would put it in her personal wine jug and rarely use such a precious vessel.

The moment the gilded jar is produced, even though the wine is sealed inside, its fragrance is intoxicating and irresistible, wafting through the air.

The aroma of fine wine wafts from afar.

The big blue ox smelled the fragrance of the wine, and its eyes lit up. It kept twitching its nose, trying to absorb more of the fragrance.

Li Xianjiu looked somewhat pained, but also more determined, and suddenly tilted her head back to gulp down the bottle of gilded wine.

As the scalding liquor entered her throat, a warm, boiling energy surged and flowed through her limbs and bones, transforming into golden light that ignited her true essence.

A halo appeared behind Li Xianjiu, but her aura continued to rise and surge, soaring from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm all the way to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm before finally stopping.

Feeling the violent surge of energy within her body, which had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, Li Xianjiu suddenly hiccuped, barely managing to suppress the powerful true essence.

This miraculous medicinal wine was brought back by Master Zhou Chen from a secret realm during his early adventures. It is incredibly potent and has amazing nourishing effects, but it also has significant side effects: after drinking it, one will be drowsy for at least a few days.

However, in order to save Li Muyun, she had no other choice. As her aura surged and she leaped to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, Li Xianjiu's sword light was invincible, slaying many cultivators who were besieging the Sun God Temple.

Meanwhile, the deeper they went, the more Sun God Temple cultivators gathered around them, forming a circle around the ox and the man. They did not take the initiative to attack, but they trapped the ox and the man, preventing them from escaping.

As numerous cultivators joined forces to attack, just as Li Xianjiu was fighting her way through the encirclement, a majestic figure descended from the sky, his aura incredibly powerful and terrifying.

It was Huo Liaotian, who had previously injured Li Xianjiu and captured Li Muyun. Huo Liaotian's expression was cold and sinister, and his whole body was wreathed in crimson flames, making him look as terrifying as a skeleton in a tomb that had been set ablaze.

He let out a few cold laughs from afar, his expression full of mockery.

"I underestimated you. You've got some guts to have managed to find the Temple of the Sun."
