How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

The intense burning sensation caused Li Muyun to clutch his right arm and hiss softly. Yang Tian angrily asked, "What are you doing?"

The three-headed dragon sneered smugly, "This is a seal and a curse I created with the dragon pearl. If he cannot save me from this cage in ten years, then I will make him vanish into nothingness."

"Okay! I accept your deal!"

Li Muyun was covered in cold sweat and gritted his teeth as he spoke.

At this moment, the golden light had spread from his wrist to his entire arm, burning his white clothes to ashes. The golden light slowly disappeared on his arm, turning into a golden dragon pattern, and then vanished. At the same time, the intense pain also disappeared in an instant.

The three-headed dragon lazily lay back in its original position, its three enormous heads falling heavily to the ground, and said languidly, "Get lost."

The two exchanged a glance, put away the [Yang Fish], and swam towards the well. In any case, their goal had been achieved.

After climbing out of the Dragon-Imprisoning Well, the two rested briefly before returning to Li Muyun's residence.

Seeing their disheveled appearance, Xiao Rou was both worried and angry. She snorted and turned to prepare food for them.

Li Muyun returned to his room, immediately sat cross-legged, summoned the Long-Eared Immortal, and raised his right arm, "Rabbit Lord, what should we do?"

The long-eared immortal raised his eyelids and said calmly, "The dragon pearl of the three-headed divine dragon is a good thing. What are you afraid of? This is your good fortune."

Li Muyun was puzzled. "He wants to use this thing to control me, so how did it become my good fortune? Does he think I can turn around and devour his dragon ball?"

"Hehe, not bad."

The long-eared immortal nodded with interest, and with a flash of light from his finger, a beam of immortal light landed on Li Muyun's right arm. In an instant, the dragon pattern on Li Muyun's right arm appeared, shining with golden light.

With a casual flick of his wrist, the Long-Eared Immortal sent the Wine Immortal Sword flying out. With a swift movement, the sword struck Li Muyun's right arm.

Li Muyun's handsome face changed, but how could he possibly dodge the speed of the Long-Eared Immortal? He could only clench his fists and raise his arms to defend himself.

"Ding!"

Sparks flew as the Wine Immortal Sword clashed with Li Muyun's golden arm, sending the sword flying backward. Yet, Li Muyun's arm remained completely unharmed.

Staring in shock at his right arm, Li Muyun's eyes widened. "What happened?"

The long-eared immortal also came over to examine the right arm and said, "The body of the three-headed divine dragon is the most yang and hard thing in the world. Its physical hardness is comparable to that of a treasure acquired later in life. It is difficult for immortals to hurt it. Otherwise, it would not have been suppressed in the Dragon-Prison Well."

Your right arm is now blessed with the Dragon Ball of the Three-Headed Divine Dragon. Regardless of whether it intended to curse you with a secret technique, the fact remains that the Dragon Ball has been integrated into your right arm, so your right arm must now have gained super strong defensive power.

"Now, regarding your right arm, I just tested it, and ordinary magical artifacts and treasures can't harm you. It's actually given you an extra trump card."

Li Muyun clenched his fist and slowly poured his true essence into it. His right arm became even more golden. He said, "Magic treasures are divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Yellow is the lowest. What grade of magic treasure can my right arm compare to?"

The long-eared immortal pondered for a moment, "It's equivalent to a Xuan-level magic weapon. Magic weapons below the Xuan-level cannot harm your right arm in the slightest. Moreover, as the degree of fusion between your right arm and this dragon pearl increases, the strength of your right arm is also constantly growing."

"As much benefit as there is, there is also as much risk." Li Muyun slowly lowered his right arm, letting the light on it dissipate, and said with a wry smile, "Rabbit Lord, I'm afraid this thing not only has benefits, but also some kind of trap, right?"

"Tsk tsk, you're a promising young man." Long-eared Immortal patted Li Muyun's shoulder with satisfaction. "The more perfectly the Dragon Ball fuses with your right arm, the more powerful you can unleash its power; similarly, you will also be more affected by it."

Because this Dragon Ball contains one-third of the three-headed dragon's soul, when your right arm is completely fused with the Dragon Ball, that soul can devour you, and at that time you will become the three-headed dragon's puppet.

Li Muyun frowned, his gaze turning cold. "How long will it take for my right arm to fully fuse with the Dragon Ball?"

The long-eared immortal pondered with a half-smile, "If it's a natural fusion, it will take ten years."

With a cold laugh, Li Muyun stared at his right arm. "So, in other words, whether I release the three-headed divine dragon or not ten years from now, it will still devour my soul and seize my body, right?"

"That's right. The Three-Headed Divine Flood Dragon is a combination of divinity and demonic nature. It is evil, dark, and unpredictable, yet it possesses a divine dragon body that makes people mistake it for a mythical beast. Back then, many powerful immortals wanted to tame it, but in the end, without exception, they had to give up. This is because it is too evil to be taught, and it is also extremely cunning. Some of its masters even fell victim to its schemes."

Long-eared Fairy recalled the past, her eyes filled with disgust.

Li Muyun clenched his fist and said coldly, "Since that's the case, then I don't need to abide by any agreement. Once I've achieved success in my cultivation, I'll eliminate it directly, which will be considered ridding the Three Realms of a scourge."

Long-eared Immortal nodded, and then a mysterious rune appeared in his palm, which then shot into Li Muyun's right arm. "This rune array can seal the soul of the Three-Headed Divine Dragon and protect your will to the greatest extent before the Dragon Pearl and you are completely integrated."

This Nine Dragons Seal Array has nine seals in total. Each time you break one, you can further fuse with the power of the Dragon Pearl. Each time a seal is broken, the array is at its weakest, and you must guard against the Three-Headed Divine Flood Dragon's soul attack. When all nine seals are broken, that will be the day you truly confront the Three-Headed Divine Flood Dragon's soul.

Li Muyun nodded. "If I let the dragon pearl merge with me naturally, it will take ten years. If I actively break the seal of the Nine Dragons Talisman Array, although I can gain power earlier, the price will be that I will face the erosion of the three-headed divine dragon's soul sooner."

The long-eared immortal said, "That's right, this is both a risk and an opportunity. The three-headed divine dragon is an ancient divine beast, and its soul is extraordinary and exceptionally resilient. If the seal is completely broken, even I will not be able to protect you."

Li Muyun grinned, "If I were always protected by you, this fledgling bird would never be able to spread its wings and fly. You've already done enough, Rabbit Lord."

After saying that, Li Muyun sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

The long-eared immortal nodded and entered Li Muyun's body. Now, this young man was no longer the useless trash who could be bullied by everyone. He was a fledgling eagle eager to try, just waiting for the moment to soar into the sky.

three days later.

The capital of the Tang Dynasty, the Tian Ce Training Ground.

Two golden lions roared and prostrated themselves before the gate, exuding a solemn and majestic aura. Inside the arena, the true energy of four grandmasters surged straight to the heavens, their oppressive power terrifying.

Countless martial artists held their breath nervously in front of the gate, their bodies trembling with excitement.

"Boom!"

A melodious, giant bell rang out, and a tremendous vibration reached everyone's ears.

"Entrants for the Autumn Martial Arts Examination!"
