The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Duan Zhixing's words were like a bombshell, shocking everyone present.

"You old bald monk! Do you know what you're saying?"

Yang Guo's expression changed, and he stared fiercely at Duan Zhixing.

The other sect leaders who entered the Valley of Heartbreak with Duan Zhixing were overjoyed.

Their original purpose in inviting Duan Zhixing was to stop the Martial God Palace from persecuting the major gangs in the martial arts world, but they didn't expect to have such an unexpected bonus.

The Martial God Palace's actions during this period resounded throughout the martial arts world, and the gold and silver treasures they seized made countless people envious.

Once Lu Yao, this great expert, leaves, they wouldn't mind joining forces again to divide up the Martial God Palace's legacy.

"Master, you are joking. I have no intention of becoming a monk."

Lu Yao remained expressionless, calmly looking at Duan Zhixing.

Since Duan Zhixing has said so, he must be planning to use force to coerce Lu Yao into submission.

“Palace Master Lu is currently burdened by karmic debts. If this continues, it will surely bring disaster upon you. You should come with me to cultivate in seclusion.”

Duan Zhixing's face was full of compassion, but his attitude remained firm.

"Does Master Yideng think I am Qiu Qianren?"

Lu Yao looked at Duan Zhixing, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Since Palace Master Lu is unwilling, then this humble monk can only resort to the wrath of the Bright King to make the Palace Master repent and reform."

Duan Zhixing had already made up his mind to take Lu Yaolu away, just like he had done with Qiu Qianren.

Now, under his influence, Qiu Qianren has forgotten the secular world and devoted himself to cultivation, which makes Duan Zhixin feel very accomplished.

"You old fool, let me see how fierce your wrath of the King is, you dare to be so arrogant."

Since Lu Yao's face was already tattered, he no longer showed him any courtesy.

"Amitabha."

Duan Zhixing uttered a Buddhist phrase.

"One-Finger Divine Skill!"

His hand moved, and he extended a finger, from which a sharp burst of energy shot out.

Lu Yao remained expressionless and casually unleashed a burst of true energy, directly shattering the One-Finger Divine Skill.

"What a strong internal force!"

Duan Zhixing's heart skipped a beat. The fact that the one could easily disperse his One-Finger Divine Skill meant that his true energy was extremely powerful.

However, he remained calm, realizing that this was merely a probing attack on Lu Yao and did not prove anything.

Duan Zhixing waved his cassock and swiftly approached Lu Yao, intending to use his One-Finger Divine Skill to strike Lu Yao's acupoints.

The One-Finger Divine Skill is not very powerful in terms of attack ability; its strength lies in its close-range pressure point strikes, which are difficult to defend against.

When Lu Yao saw Duan Zhixing approaching, he didn't avoid him, but just looked at him calmly.

"What's going on? Why isn't Lu Yao avoiding us?"

Duan Zhixing frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled by Lu Yao's behavior.

Normally, when an opponent gets close, one either dodges or attacks, but Lu Yao seems to have no reaction at all.

However, Duan Zhixing could not stop there and directly reached out to press Lu Yao's acupoints.

Lu Yao ignored Duan Zhixing completely, as if he hadn't even seen him.

Lu Yao's reaction ignited a nameless rage in Duan Zhixing's heart, and he tightened his grip.

"Success!"

Duan Zhixing's fingers moved like phantoms, swiftly tapping Lu Yao's chest several times.

"Palace Master Lu, please accept my offer to go into seclusion and cultivate with me."

Duan Zhixing landed gracefully, stroked his snow-white beard, and said calmly.

"Are you tickling me?"

Lu Yao remained expressionless, looking at Duan Zhixing with a half-smile.

Now that Lu Yao has entered the Innate Realm, how could a mere Acquired Martial Artist possibly strike his acupoints?

Lu Yao had a general idea of ​​Duan Zhixing's level. Although he possessed the Innate Skill, he had not yet reached the Innate Realm.

Either Wang Chongyang concealed the part that led to his advancement to the Innate Realm, or his innate wisdom was simply insufficient.

"Impossible! Could it be that you have practiced the Shaolin Immovable King Divine Skill?"

Duan Zhixing's expression changed, and he looked at Lu Yao in disbelief.

In fact, One-Finger Divine Skill is not without its counters, namely powerful body-training techniques, such as the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill or the Shaolin Immovable King Divine Skill, etc.

When one cultivates to a high level, one is truly not afraid of ordinary pressure point techniques.

Duan Zhixing clearly believed that Lu Yao had cultivated some kind of external martial arts technique.

"Frog at the bottom of the well!"

Lu Yao chuckled and flicked his finger, sending a powerful innate sword aura slashing towards Duan Zhixing.

Duan Zhixing felt a chill in his heart and dared not underestimate the situation, so he quickly used his true energy to protect himself.

Unfortunately, this innate sword energy combined the Innate Skill and the Dugu Nine Swords, so how could he possibly withstand it?

With a flash of sword light, Duan Zhixing was struck and sent flying, collapsing to the ground severely injured.

"How could this be! I must be seeing things."

"Master Yideng has actually been defeated!"

The sect leaders and gang leaders watching the battle stared wide-eyed at Lu Yao in disbelief.

They never expected that the Southern Emperor, one of the Five Greats, would be defeated so easily.

"It seems that the master's cultivation is not yet sufficient. Then let him stay and cultivate in my Martial God Palace."

Lu Yao chuckled and immediately detained Duan Zhixing.

Although Duan Zhixing's One-Finger Divine Skill didn't cause Lu Yao any trouble, it was still a rare martial art that he could collect and study.

"You've entered the Innate Realm?"

After barely managing to suppress the rampant sword energy within his body, Duan Zhixing clutched his chest and stared at Lu Yao in shock.

Duan Zhixing's words stunned everyone present, and their expressions changed drastically.

Even Yang Guo was shocked.

"Master, you've broken through to the Innate Realm!"

Yang Guo's eyes widened, and he said in surprise.

Lu Yao smiled gently, calmly and naturally.

"Oh no! How could it be innate?"

One of the gang leaders collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.

As leaders of martial arts sects, they all know more or less about the Innate Realm, but it is too far removed from their lives. Moreover, there hasn't been an Innate Realm master in the martial arts world for nearly a hundred years.

It's unacceptable that the person who appears is my enemy.

"Palace Master Lu, please forgive us! From this day forward, our Heavenly Dragon Gang will obey the orders of the Martial God Palace."

The leader of the Tianlong Gang knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

"Our Iron Sword Sect is also willing to submit!"

……

All the sect leaders and gang leaders knew that if they didn't beg for mercy, their lives would be in danger, so they quickly expressed their willingness to submit.

"Alas! My sins!"

Duan Zhixing sighed, knelt on the ground, and painfully closed his eyes.

The innate realm was his lifelong pursuit, but unfortunately, he could never cross that final step.

Duan Zhixing knew that his actions had caused even greater turmoil, and his expression darkened. He could only silently recite Buddhist scriptures to calm his mind.

"Yang Guo, take Master Yideng to rest."

Lu Yao looked at Duan Zhixing, who was sitting there listlessly, and gave instructions to Yang Guo.

Although Duan Zhixing appeared to be unharmed, he was injured by Lu Yao's innate sword energy, losing eight-tenths of his martial arts skills. Yang Guo was more than capable of keeping an eye on him.

After Yang Guo took Duan Zhixing away, Lu Yao turned to look at the group of sect leaders and gang chiefs who were kneeling on the ground, not daring to speak.

"Everyone, my Martial God Palace is not a place you can come and go as you please."

Lu Yao chuckled lightly and said calmly.

"I am willing to await the Palace Master's decision!"

They no longer dared to act recklessly; now was the time to save their lives.
