How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Those eyes released a dazzling golden light, instantly enveloping Li Muyun's entire body. The golden light transformed into a dark golden armor that appeared on Li Muyun's body, radiating light, heavy and solemn, with Dao patterns spreading across it, extremely profound!

"Mysterious!"

Lin Xiuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately transformed into a rain of swords and attacked again, the swords falling like rain and the wind cutting like knives!

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”

The thin sword struck Li Muyun's body, which was covered in dark golden light, producing only a series of crisp metallic clangs, without even sparking.

Li Muyun's lips curled up slightly, his burning golden eyes looking at Lin Xiuan with disdain. He beckoned with his finger, as if to say, "Is that all you've got?"

"what?"

Lin Xiuan was stunned. Although his fast sword was not known for its attack power, it was not easy to block. What exactly was that layer of dark golden light? Why couldn't he sense its aura at all?

Meanwhile, a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain on the stands rubbed his eyes, subconsciously stood up, and muttered to himself, "This...this is!?"

Lin Xiu'an roared in frustration, his anger rising. This was the first time anyone had dared to so disregard his attack; it was an insult to him. "I am Lin Xiu'an, the fastest swordsman! How dare you, you little bastard, provoke me like this? You're asking for death!"

Lin Xiuan suddenly retreated, and then his true energy surged like a spring, gathering on the thin sword. In an instant, the sword became incomparably brilliant. His eyes revealed killing intent, and his expression was ferocious. He was like a sword, using his body to carry the sword and transforming into a whistling afterimage. The swift sword pierced towards Li Muyun's heart like lightning!

"Peak Spirit-level Martial Skill - One Sword Shatters Time!"

Lin Xiuan's lips twitched wildly. Back when he was still at the Earth Profound level, he had killed a Heaven Profound level expert with this move. He refused to believe that he couldn't kill this little bastard!

What nonsense about being the son of the Heavenly Slaughter Marquis, what nonsense about being an immortal, what nonsense about immortal techniques? He hates and despises these powerful and noble immortals the most. Otherwise, with his talent, why would he be a dog under someone else's command? He only trusts the sword in his hand. You little bastard, die!

Li Muyun slowly raised his brilliant golden eyes, leaving two golden afterimages in the air, and the dark golden light on his body erupted again like waves.

"Divine-level low-grade immortal technique - Undying Vajra Mantra".

A few words were uttered by Li Muyun, and the dark golden light around him collided with Lin Xiuan's sword, producing a crisp sound.

The thin sword sparked a series of sparks in front of the dark golden indestructible Vajra, but failed to penetrate even half an inch. Under Lin Xiuan's extremely horrified gaze, Li Muyun slowly raised his right arm, which was covered in dragon patterns, grabbed the blade of the thin sword in front of his chest, and gently snapped it in two with a crack!

"The fastest swordsman in the same realm? Heh!" Li Muyun sneered, his golden eyes filled with arrogance. "Lin Xiu'an, you're nothing but someone else's dog. What are you pretending for?"

"This is impossible! This is impossible!"

Lin Xiu'an's face turned deathly pale. He had never imagined that his proud sword would be defeated so absurdly! A divine-level defensive immortal technique? Are you kidding me?

Li Muyun snorted coldly and threw a punch. A dragon's roar rose, and dark golden light burst forth, making the sun lose its color!

"boom!"

With a scream, Lin Xiuan's figure crashed through the arena's railing like a cannonball and flew out at lightning speed.

As Lin Xiuan's body landed with a thud, the hearts of the candidates watching the competition seemed to pound as well. The entire examination hall was filled with gasps of shock. Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw unparalleled horror in each other's eyes.

On the stands, King Qin laughed heartily, "Brother, Mu Yun has indeed given us a big surprise. With only Foundation Establishment cultivation, he has actually mastered a divine-level immortal technique. He truly deserves to be the leader of the Hundred Sages Banquet."

Looking at Li Muyun on the third arena, a complex look flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes. He glanced coldly at the King of Qin and said with a forced smile, "What is Lin Xiuan? Don't forget, his real opponent this time is the successor of the Four Warlords."

Looking confidently at Li Muyun, the King of Qin said meaningfully, "So what if he is the successor of the Four Warlords? If a young man has lofty ambitions, he can cleave mountains and rivers for three thousand generations."

The crown prince's gaze swept over the King of Qin and Li Muyun, and he suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard a hilarious joke. "Interesting! Interesting! I love these arrogant young men who don't know their place! Hahaha!"

The Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain in the stands sat down slowly after a long while and said, word by word, "This young man is destined to be with my Longhu Mountain."

Upon hearing this, the Sword Maniac raised an eyebrow. "Master Tian, ​​Li Muyun has already been accepted into our Sword Pavilion. You must not have any further improper thoughts."

Tian Shouzhong gave a wry smile. "Sword fanatic, what improper thoughts could an old Taoist like me have? Now that he has joined your Sword Pavilion, I naturally won't compete for him anymore. But he has a connection with the immortals of Longhu Mountain, so let's give him that connection. Even if he isn't a disciple of Longhu Mountain, it doesn't matter."

Tian Shouzhong looked into the distance and sighed deeply. "Back then, my senior brother's disciple was also so full of vigor, but unexpectedly he died halfway through, and his golden core was also taken away. Huan Jin said that the golden core eventually fell into Li Muyun's hands, and today I see that it is indeed true."

Not only did he master the Golden Light Mantra, but he even achieved the profound level of the Indestructible Vajra Mantra without a teacher, thanks to his innate talent. This shows that his connection with Longhu Mountain goes beyond this. How about this, if there's a chance, let him visit the Celestial Master's Mansion; I think my senior brother would like to see him.”

Sword Maniac gulped down a mouthful of wine and said noncommittally, "As long as the little guy is willing to go, my Sword Pavilion will not interfere."

Tian Shouzhong snorted, "Don't worry, letting him go to the Celestial Master's Mansion to see his senior brother is naturally giving him an opportunity, and it will definitely not harm him."

Upon hearing that Li Muyun would be given this opportunity, Jian Chi's lips curled up and he immediately said, "Since Longhu Mountain has extended such a warm invitation, I think Junior Brother will certainly not refuse. I will accept on his behalf."

Chao Jianchi rolled his eyes, while Tian Shouzhong swept his whisk and said, "You brat, humph!"

......

On the arena, Li Muyun withdrew his true essence, the light dissipated, and his white robes fluttered in the wind as he cupped his hands in greeting to Qin Wuyang.

Qin Wuyang then came to his senses and announced, "Li Muyun has won. The rest of the candidates may now begin their competition. After the competition ends, the remaining candidates will compete again with adjacent numbers, such as number one and number two, number three and number four, and so on. This will continue until six people remain, plus four successors of the War Marquis, who will be the final martial arts candidates for this competition."

After Qin Wuyang's announcement, the contestants began their matches. In the following rounds, Li Muyun was number three, and the two men on stage four wore long faces; they knew whoever won, they couldn't defeat Li Muyun. Their tests were over.

On the other side, Zhao Tianming, dressed in simple clothes, suddenly unleashed his true energy, and everyone's eyes turned to him. People looked at Zhao Tianming in surprise, this boy who looked like a beggar was actually a Golden Core Immortal!
