The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

The Heavenly Child Granny's joy turned to sorrow, and her expression gradually calmed down.

Did he mention me before he died?

Tianshan Tonglao looked at Lu Yao with a calm expression, but her eyes held a hint of expectation.

Lu Yao fell silent upon hearing this.

When Wu Yazi was young, he was handsome and talented, which attracted the admiration of many young girls.

Among them were Li Qiushui and Tianshan Tonglao, both disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect. The two were jealous of each other and both wanted to be the one standing next to Wuyazi.

The childlike appearance of Tianshan Tonglao is the work of Li Qiushui. Li Qiushui suddenly attacked her during her cultivation, causing Tianshan Tonglao to misbehave and remain a girl for the rest of her life.

The name Tianshan Tonglao (天山童姥) comes from this.

However, after several rounds of competition between the two women, neither of them could win Wu Yazi's heart.

Wu Yazi did not mention Tong Lao before his death.

If Lu Yao were to deceive Tianshan Tonglao and fabricate some things that would benefit him, he might actually gain her full support.

Unfortunately, Lu Yao disdained this and chose to tell the truth.

"Hehehe, he's still as ruthless as ever."

The Heavenly Child Granny wore a self-deprecating expression and chuckled softly.

"Before his death, Wu Yazi only entrusted me with the inheritance of the Xiaoyao Sect, and did not say anything else."

"I came here to find Granny Tong, hoping she could lend me a hand."

Lu Yao shook his head, then took out the sect leader's ring and looked at Tianshan Tonglao.

"Hahaha, he didn't mention me or that bitch, I haven't lost yet!"

Upon hearing this, Tianshan Tonglao was in high spirits and laughed loudly with her hands on her hips.

"You are now the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect, and you even saved your grandmother. If you need anything, just let me know."

Tianshan Tonglao is in a very good mood now and finds Lu Yao particularly pleasing to the eye.

"Now that Granny Tong has lost all her martial arts skills, let's resolve this matter first."

Lu Yao chuckled. Now that Tianshan Tonglao had no martial arts skills, she could hardly offer Lu Yao any help.

“That’s right, Grandma, I need more than a month. During this time, I will trouble the sect leader to protect me.”

Tianshan Tonglao nodded; restoring her power was indeed the top priority now.

"Could Granny Tong lend me the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Supreme Technique to take a look?"

Lu Yao suddenly spoke up and asked the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny.

Tianshan Tonglao frowned and looked at Lu Yao with a puzzled expression.

"Since you have cultivated the Northern Darkness Divine Art, why do you covet the inheritance of my lineage?"

The Heavenly Child Granny looked somewhat displeased, after all, this was the fundamental cultivation technique she had practiced, how could she easily give it away?

"Don't worry, Granny Tong, I just want to read more of the classics of the Free and Unfettered Sect and try to understand them by analogy."

Lu Yao shrugged. He couldn't very well say that he wanted to give this skill to his woman to practice.

This skill is of a high level and also has the effect of preserving youth. Although it has the side effect of making one look younger every thirty years, its merits outweigh its flaws, and it is still a powerful skill.

"Please don't make things difficult for me, Sect Leader. You should know the principle of not trying to do too much at once. You should focus on cultivating the Northern Darkness Divine Art."

Tianshan Tonglao obviously did not believe it, thinking that Lu Yao was greedy and wanted to cultivate the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Supreme Technique together.

In fact, as the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, Lu Yao naturally knew about the sect's martial arts secrets.

This includes Tianshan Tonglao's "Eight Desolations and Six Directions, I Alone Am Supreme" skill, Li Qiushui's "Little Formless Skill," and so on.

However, the Free and Unfettered Sect is now fragmented and it is not so easy to reunite it.

"It seems that Granny Tong has misunderstood me."

Lu Yao sighed, knowing that Tianshan Tonglao had misunderstood.

Lu Yao and Tianshan Tonglao were currently on a mountain stream, with a lake at the foot of the mountain, a beautiful sight.

Lu Yao leaped into the air and, in a few breaths, crossed hundreds of meters to arrive above the lake.

Tianshan Tonglao was stunned, not knowing what Lu Yao was doing, and could only look at Lu Yao in confusion.

What Lu Yao needs to do now is to demonstrate his strength and make Tianshan Tonglao willingly hand over the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Supreme Technique, and at the same time, no longer just regard him as a junior.

Lu Yao's true energy surged, and he fully activated the Yi Jin Jing, instantly unleashing the power of a Grandmaster.

The vast expanse of true energy transformed into countless sword energies, swirling above the lake in a terrifying display.

At this moment, Tianshan Tonglao's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

The skill that Lu Yao is currently displaying is far beyond what an ordinary expert at the Innate Realm can demonstrate.

Even the Heavenly Child Granny herself would probably find it difficult to withstand this overwhelming sword energy.

Ignoring Tianshan Tonglao's shock, Lu Yao's mind stirred, and countless sword energies shot towards the lake, creating a tremendous roar.

"boom!"

The entire massive lake trembled, creating a huge vacuum in the middle, and water columns shot up tens of meters high.

At this moment, Lu Yao had already returned to Tianshan Tonglao's presence, calm and composed.

On the surface of the lake, countless dead fish and shrimp floated to the surface.

Tianshan Child Granny looked at Lu Yao in front of her, her expression changing.

"You've reached the Grandmaster level?"

Tianshan Tonglao opened her mouth and finally asked the question that had been on her mind for the most time.

Such skill is far beyond what a late-stage Innate Realm cultivator could achieve. Besides, Tianshan Tonglao herself is a late-stage Innate Realm cultivator, so how could she not know the true extent of that skill?

"Grandma Tong has a discerning eye."

Lu Yao chuckled; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Tianshan Child Granny fell silent and carefully examined Lu Yao for a few moments.

"Tell me the truth, how old are you? You haven't practiced some kind of age-preserving technique, have you?"

Tianshan Tonglao still found it hard to believe. Judging from his appearance, Lu Yao was only in his twenties. How could he possibly have reached the level of a Grandmaster?

"I have not practiced any techniques to preserve my youthful appearance."

Lu Yao shook his head. Techniques for preserving youth are extremely rare, but the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Supreme Technique is one of them.

"You...you're a monster."

Tianshan Tonglao wanted to ask something more, but ultimately didn't say it.

In the history of the Xiaoyao Sect, there was only one grandmaster, the founder Xiaoyaozi, and Lu Yao can be considered the second.

Tianshan Child Granny had been pursuing the Grandmaster realm for over a decade without seeing a glimmer of hope, but now such a young Grandmaster was right in front of her.

"Wu Yazi did make a contribution to the Xiaoyao Sect before his death."

Tianshan Tonglao smiled, admitting her admiration for Lu Yao.

Tianshan Child Granny no longer refused and directly told Lu Yao about the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect, such as the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Supreme Skill and the Life and Death Talisman.

After all, now that Lu Yao is a Grandmaster, these martial arts techniques are merely icing on the cake and can hardly provide any further help in advancing his Grandmaster level.

A moment later, Lu Yao memorized these martial arts techniques and then secretly returned to Lingjiu Palace with Tianshan Tonglao.

Previously, Tianshan Tonglao was secretly captured by Wu Laoda. After Lingjiu Palace discovered that Tianshan Tonglao was missing, they dispatched many disciples to search for her everywhere, but they have not been able to find her.
