The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Lu Yao did not leave his tent for the next few days, and continued to cultivate the Innate Skill.

The cultivation of the Innate Skill is very difficult, but now, after being strengthened many times, Lu Yao's martial arts talent has reached an unprecedented level.

Normally, it takes half a year to master the Innate Skill, but Lu Yao only took three days.

Lu Yao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly stopped his cultivation and opened his bright eyes.

"Finally I've gotten started."

After mastering the basics of Xiantian Gong, one can cultivate the unique true qi of Xiantian Gong, which is balanced, peaceful, pure white, and substantial.

Without further hesitation, Lu Yao's expression shifted, and a milky-white fluorescent light enveloped him.

"Haotian Pearl, enhance!"

The Origin of the World: 765-365

After a few breaths, the light faded.

Lu Yao slowly opened his eyes, a faint fluorescent light flickering in his pupils.

Lu Yao's realm has now surpassed the acquired realm and entered the innate realm.

Wang Chongyang divided the Innate Realm into three stages: early, middle, and late. The Innate Skill was created by Wang Chongyang himself and can only be cultivated up to the early stage of the Innate Realm.

Lu Yao focused his mind on his dantian and saw that the Yin-Yang True Qi had disappeared, replaced by pure white Innate True Qi.

However, these innate true energies are all transformed from yin and yang true energies, and do not fill the dantian.

Lu Yao immediately began to circulate his Innate Skill again, continuously refining his Innate True Qi. This process lasted for half a month.

If it weren't for Lu Yao's status as the Imperial Preceptor and his formidable martial prowess, the commanders of these thousands of soldiers would have already come looking for trouble with him.

"Your Excellency, where are we headed now?"

The commanding general approached Lu Yao and respectfully inquired.

"Go to the Giant Whale Gang."

A cold glint flashed in Lu Yao's eyes as he spoke calmly.

At that time, the Giant Whale Gang withdrew directly from the Martial Alliance, which embarrassed Lu Yao. Since the Martial Alliance was newly established, it was not appropriate to take action. Now it is a good time to make an example of them.

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the commanding general turned around and ordered his troops to prepare to break camp.

The Giant Whale Gang is considered a medium-sized sect in the martial arts world, with thousands of disciples, though most of them don't possess any martial arts skills.

According to intelligence from the martial arts alliance at the time, the Giant Whale Gang had two top-tier masters and several other disciples, but the total number of people with martial arts skills did not exceed fifty.

The Giant Whale Gang controlled the canal transport business in several cities, making them extremely wealthy and wielding considerable influence in the local areas.

Unfortunately, this is a martial arts world, where the level of martial arts skill is the sole criterion for judgment.

The headquarters of the Giant Whale Gang.

Countless disciples gathered in the city, filled with laughter and joy.

Li Zhen, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, was hosting a grand banquet and chatting happily with his guests. The festive red atmosphere clearly indicated that it was a joyous occasion.

"Congratulations to Chief Li on your marriage! You've found a beautiful woman."

A well-to-do country gentleman brought wine to Li Zhen, who was dressed in a red robe, and flattered him with a happy expression.

"Hahaha, let's drink, let's drink."

Li Zhen was clearly very happy; this was already his twelfth concubine.

Taking a concubine naturally doesn't require a banquet, but Li Zhen insisted on inviting guests, and he did so in a grand and extravagant manner.

Because of the power of the Giant Whale Gang, local officials had long been in cahoots with them and had completely taken control of the canal transport business. Countless people wanted to curry favor with them.

If Li Zhen doesn't hold banquets, how can these people have the opportunity to give him gifts?

Therefore, every time Li Zhen took a concubine, he would hold a banquet to celebrate, and the gifts would pile up like mountains.

Just as the guests were enjoying their drinks, a disciple of the Giant Whale Gang rushed in in a panic and whispered something in Li Zhen's ear.

"People from the government?"

Li Zhen was taken aback. Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, the door was blasted open by a tremendous force.

"Who goes there! You're asking for it!"

When the guards of the Giant Whale Gang saw someone causing trouble, they all drew their long swords and looked at the intruder.

"Haha, looks like I've arrived just in time."

A wanton voice came from the doorway.

As the dust settled, a figure slowly walked in; it was Yang Guo.

"Which sect does this young hero belong to?"

Li Zhen frowned slightly and carefully examined Yang Guo a few times.

"I am not your friend. I am Yang Guo from the Martial God Palace, ordered to wipe out the Giant Whale Gang."

Yang Guo gave a cold laugh, waved his hand, and instantly countless disciples of the Martial God Palace rushed in.

Seeing that things were not going well, the guests immediately hid to the side, not daring to get involved in this mess.

"Martial God Palace? You're Lu Yao's people? When did I offend him?"

Li Zhen knew the visitor meant no harm, so he picked up the iron rod handed to him by his disciple and stared intently at Yang Guo.

Why should a dead man know so much?

Yang Guo didn't say anything more, and in a flash, he rushed towards Li Zhen.

Meanwhile, on a distant pavilion, Lu Yao was calmly watching the battle.

Yang Guo was naturally sent by him, with the aim of seizing the Giant Whale Gang's assets.

The Giant Whale Gang, relying on its power, bullied and oppressed the people in this area. Lu Yao's actions can be considered as eliminating a scourge for the people.

The thousands of soldiers they brought had already surrounded the Li residence, where Yang Guo led his men to kill Li Zhen, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, and a group of Giant Whale Gang disciples.

Now, under Lu Yao's guidance, Yang Guo's martial arts skills have reached the Acquired Realm, and his strength is not much different from Guo Jing's.

Dealing with the Giant Whale Gang was a piece of cake, so Lu Yao didn't have to do everything himself.

Now that Lu Yao has entered the Innate Realm, even a top-tier expert like Li Zhen can't withstand a single move from him. It would be better to give him to Yang Guo to practice on.

The situation was almost one-sided. Yang Guo's Toad Stance was so skillful that he killed Li Zhen in just a few rounds.

Upon seeing this, the other members of the Giant Whale Gang immediately knelt down and surrendered in order to save their lives.

Apart from a few core members, most of the members of the Giant Whale Gang are just people who have been won over by mutual benefits, and naturally they don't have the courage to fight to the last moment for the Giant Whale Gang.

Most of the core members of the Giant Whale Gang are here today, except for one deputy gang leader who is stationed at the canal wharf and has not come; the rest have been killed.

Although the deputy gang leader was also a top-notch expert, he was not as good as Li Zhen, and was taken down without any suspense.

The Giant Whale Gang wielded immense power in the area entirely because it had two top-tier experts. Now that both of them are dead, the Giant Whale Gang has naturally disbanded.

"Master, everything we seized from the Giant Whale Gang is on this list."

Yang came up to Lu Yao and handed him a list.

Lu Yao glanced over and thought, "Wow, the Giant Whale Gang has a lot of assets."

The seized silver amounted to ten million taels, gold to eight hundred thousand taels, along with countless precious medicinal herbs and rare treasures, as well as several martial arts manuals.

"Transport all of these things to the Valley of Heartbreak."

Lu Yao nodded, very satisfied.

The fact that the Giant Whale Gang possessed so much only strengthened Lu Yao's resolve to sweep through the entire martial arts world.

Lu Yao didn't care about gold and silver; what he cared about was sweeping away the world's origin and rare treasures brought by these sects.

Lu Yao directly invested all this gold and silver into the construction of the Martial God Palace, recruiting disciples widely, purchasing medicinal herbs for martial arts training, and strengthening the Martial God Palace's power.

One day, the Martial God Palace will suppress the entire martial arts world.
