How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

“Fairy of the Other Shore, the sword spirit has already separated.”

The ancient wooden sword spirit, having been separated from the Six Souls Divine Banner Sword, now took root on the ground, looking somewhat bewildered and uneasily surveying its surroundings.

“I’ll take over, child. Give me control of your body.”

A gentle voice rang out, and Li Muyun immediately did as instructed without hesitation. Changxi had already taken over his body.

Seeing that Li Muyun's temperament had changed and his aura was sharper than before, Bi'an knew that Chang Xi had possessed him and looked at him with curiosity.

The Devouring Creation Sword appeared in Chang Xi's hand, and streams of devouring power surged out from the Sword Tomb, pointing towards the ancient wooden sword spirit in the distance.

The only way to graft this ancient wooden sword spirit into the body of the other shore is to rely on the Devouring Heaven Creation Sword.

The Devouring Creation Sword is known for its ferocious devouring power, but few people know that even Li Muyun has not yet mastered its power of creation.

Creation and destruction...

The power of devouring in Chang Xi's hand surged completely, suddenly transforming into a raging torrent that roared up and firmly devoured and absorbed the entire ancient wooden sword spirit.

"Next, open your mind and merge with this sword spirit."

Chang Xi's expression trembled. Gripping the sword light, he suddenly rushed towards the other shore. Just as the sword tip pointed, the abyss-like and hellish divine soul aura of the other shore enveloped it, instantly swallowing the sword spirit of the divine sword.

In almost an instant, the spirit of the divine sword had merged with the other shore.

But only Chang Xi knows the difficulty involved; how difficult it is to swallow such a life-giving spirit and then transfer and release it again.

"Good, good! I never thought that the shackles that have bound me for millions of years would finally be broken! Hahahaha!"

The girl in the red dress had already stood up, her expression excited and bouncy. In a flash, the entire Nine Nether Forbidden Land was filled with blooming flowers, their fragrance rich and intoxicating, a scene of peak beauty.

"I didn't expect it to actually succeed... This little hussy has such a happy side."

Pluto, deep in the clouds, saw the other shore below in a state of excitement and was deeply moved. He understood the unbearable suffering of being imprisoned for thousands of years, with her by his side.

"Li Muyun, take it, this sword is yours."

The other shore was filled with excitement and exhilaration. It suddenly shot upwards, transforming into a divine light and disappearing into the horizon, leaving only an indestructible, limitless sword that crashed to the ground.

When Hades saw the figure flashing and soaring into the sky, he was taken aback. He immediately transformed into a streak of light and chased after her as she soared to the other side. She had just been liberated, and if she became too excited, she might do something that would destroy the world. He had to restrain her.

But when has this Heavenly Creation Divine Sword ever been treated like this? Having already attained the other shore of the sword spirit, it no longer needs this Undying Limitless Sword and wishes it could kick it away.

Li Muyun was filled with excitement and joy. His happiness was no less than that of the other shore. He quickly stepped forward, wanting to grasp the Heavenly Creation Divine Sword.

Sensing Li Muyun's approaching aura, the Undying Limitless Sword hovered in the air, its flowing light contained within, continuously releasing azure life force.

At this moment, the spiritual bond between the sword and its master has not yet been fully established.

A vast and profound consciousness, like mercury spilling onto the ground, swept towards Li Muyun, enveloping him in a space.

“Young man, you are very strong, able to unleash such a formation, and you have also had extraordinary opportunities. It would be fine to acknowledge you as my master.”

A deep, resonant voice rang out, tinged with a hint of sighing.

Li Muyun was overjoyed and bowed with his hands clasped.

"Stripping away the sword spirit was truly unavoidable, but this junior is determined to collect the divine swords..."

"I will now examine your heart. If our thoughts are in sync, then we are on the same path. If there is any disobedience, then I fear we will not have this opportunity."

The hollow sound interrupted Li Muyun's question, and the voice lowered.

Upon hearing this, Li Muyun's expression hardened, and he nodded firmly.

"Senior, please ask."

"Let me ask you this: if heaven and earth were to collapse and the world were to crumble, what would you do?"

Li Muyun took a deep breath, and just as he was about to reply, the Long-Eared Immortal's reminder hurriedly sounded in his mind.

"Young Li, this is a trial of the heart. Think it over. This Undying Limitless Sword Spirit is exceptionally benevolent and dedicated to protecting the world. Say something nice about it."

Upon hearing this, Li Muyun was taken aback, but immediately understood the Rabbit God's intention and fell into deep thought.

His mind was filled with memories of the many sorrows of the world: the death banner of the Yangshen Temple devouring countless souls, evil cultivators killing people to refine pills, turning the whole city into medicinal herbs. He also recalled the suffering races he had seen on the road, the decline of all races, and even the imperfections in the operation of the Heavenly Dao.

Extending this concept to others, from humankind to all races, from one person to tens of millions, the workings of heaven and earth are all within our consideration.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, his gaze clear and firm, staring directly at the azure Undying Limitless Sword before him, his whole being exuding righteousness, and he spoke with utmost sincerity.

"The path I seek is not about one person climbing to the highest heavens and looking down on all the heavenly beings."

"The sharpness of this sword is not for destruction, but for the Heavenly Sword that cuts through the shackles of the world and the root of suffering."

"All beings suffer greatly, so I wield this sword as an oar to ferry others across, which is also to ferry myself across. Blessing all living beings is the way of the perfect heaven. Although my strength cannot reach that of the great gods on the other shore, my heart yearns for them and looks up to them with reverence."

Each word, like a resounding melody, carried his unwavering conviction as he slowly uttered it.

"Good, good. With such awareness, being able to shoulder heavy responsibilities and protect and bless all living beings is what I truly desire. Only such a successor can gain my approval."

The core of the Undying Limitless Sword trembled violently, and its trembling phantom slowly bloomed in the sky, clearly satisfied with Li Muyun's answer.

"Om-!"

An unprecedentedly clear and melodious sword cry resounded throughout the entire consciousness space, carrying a great joy, a great enlightenment, and a great aspiration, and slowly flew towards Li Muyun.

"Remember this: This sword asks the heart, and this mantra is for protection, guidance, severing karma, and saving the world."

After the sound, the space of consciousness collapsed and returned to reality.

Before Li Muyun, the newly born Undying Limitless Sword shone with restrained light, its blade as warm and smooth as jade, yet it possessed a vast and boundless, ever-flowing sword intent.

Upon closer inspection, the sword has undergone a complete transformation and rebirth, resembling an incomparably sharp three-foot-long sword. Its entire body is azure-gold color, as if it were cast from clear glass. Blood-red ripples surge within the sword's blade, with winding and spreading patterns that slowly wriggle, like an old tree sprouting new leaves, its intertwined roots revealing its vitality.

Even more dazzling is the slow, intertwined Yin-Yang Daoist energy on the blade, which is Li Muyun's Yin-Yang nature, and has now recognized its master!

Holding the Undying Limitless Sword in his hand, Li Muyun felt a surge of heroic excitement welling up from the bottom of his heart. The three Heavenly Creation Divine Swords in his hands roared in unison, their heavenly sounds resounding through the clouds, never ceasing.

With blessings descending upon them, Li Muyun felt his cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, and he had already stepped into the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!
