The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

The Sword Emperor is the Sword Sect's dedicated elder in charge of guarding and protecting the sect's secret techniques. His appearance in the Sword Sect's secret realm today is also to impart the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" technique.

I never expected such a turn of events.

"Have you thought this through? If the three of you die, the Sword Sect's legacy will be almost completely severed."

Lu Yao gave the three of them a cold look and spoke threateningly.

In fact, Lu Yao knew where the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One Sword Manual was. Po Jun and Wu Ming each had a key. As long as they combined their keys in the secret cave, they could obtain the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One manual.

However, the original text of the Heavenly Origin Sword Manual does not mention where it is located, so the Sword Emperor needs to hand it over voluntarily.

Therefore, Lu Yao did not try to seize the key at the beginning, but instead tried to interrogate the Sword Emperor.

The Sword Emperor's expression shifted constantly as he struggled internally.

It was obvious that all three of them would die if they didn't hand over the two sword manuals.

In the Sword Emperor's mind, if Wuming and Pojun were to die, the Sword Sect would be finished.

A moment later, the Sword Emperor looked up at Lu Yao with a bitter expression.

"I hope you will keep your word."

The Sword Emperor looked dejected and spoke weakly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao smiled slightly and with a wave of his hand, withdrew the Six Meridians Sword Qi from the Sword Emperor's body.

The Sword Emperor recited the two sword manuals verbally. As the guardian, he was allowed to view the sword manuals, so he didn't take Lu Yao to the secret cave to retrieve the originals.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly. After checking and sorting through the information, and confirming that there were no problems, he began to circulate the two sword techniques.

Both "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" and "Heavenly Origin Sword Technique" are top-tier martial arts techniques among grandmaster-level skills, and are extremely powerful.

Lu Yao was still unsure whether the two sword manuals were genuine or not, so he did not let the three of them go.

Half a day later.

Lu Yao successfully mastered the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One and the Heavenly Origin Sword Technique.

"Haotian Pearl, enhance!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yao immediately began to use the origin of the world to enhance himself.

Lu Yao was enveloped in a milky white fluorescence, radiating a mysterious halo.

Origin of the World: 9040→2504

After a while, the light dissipated.

Lu Yao slowly opened his eyes, a flash of sword light passing through them.

After spending several thousand World Origin to upgrade his Origin Space last time, Lu Yao only had a little over six thousand World Origin left.

Later, due to the discovery of the Xiaoyao Pavilion in various worlds, there was also a small amount of stable world source income, which is why it reached as many as nine thousand.

The Ten Thousand Swords Return to One and the Heavenly Origin Sword Technique truly lived up to their reputation as the Sword Sect's supreme martial arts, directly propelling Lu Yao's cultivation level to the peak of the Grandmaster realm.

Lu Yao can now be said to be invincible at the Grandmaster level.

However, despite spending so much of the world's essence, Lu Yao still hasn't reached the realm of sainthood.

"Even the 'Return of Ten Thousand Swords' technique cannot reach the Sainthood realm. Is it absolutely necessary to obtain Emperor Shitian's Sacred Heart Technique? Or is it necessary to obtain the Four Sacred Objects?"

As Lu Yao felt the surging true energy within his body, he couldn't help but think to himself.

Lu Yao couldn't help but think this way. In the original story, Wuming, relying on his Heavenly Sword realm, was invincible throughout the Central Plains, but he was no match for the Supreme God Shitian. They were clearly not on the same level.

If Lu Yao were to face someone like Di Shitian or Xiao Sanxiao, who had consumed the essence of the Four Saints, he would have to run away.

Lu Yao stopped thinking about it and went to the three Sword Emperors.

After acquiring the two sword techniques, Lu Yao began to ponder how to deal with the three Sword Emperors.

"Well? You've gotten what you wanted, can you let us go now?"

Sword Emperor frowned and asked when he saw Lu Yao approaching.

"When did I say I would let you go?"

Lu Yao chuckled lightly. From the very beginning, he had no intention of letting the three of them leave alive.

One is a grandmaster-level expert, and the other two are very famous characters in the original work, especially Nameless.

As long as Lu Yao deals with the three of them, the world's essence that was just consumed will immediately return.

"You! Shameless! I'll fight you to the death!"

Sword Emperor's expression changed, and he looked at Lu Yao in disbelief before letting out a roar.

Several sword energies instantly condensed and slashed towards Lu Yao.

Clearly, the Sword Emperor hadn't placed all his hopes on Lu Yao's mercy; these sword energies were secretly gathered by him just now, and their power should not be underestimated.

Unfortunately, the Sword Emperor had no idea what changes had occurred in Lu Yao's martial arts in just half a day.

If it were Lu Yao, although nothing unexpected would have happened, it would have required more effort. However, after Lu Yao successfully elevated the two martial arts manuals, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin and Heavenly Origin Sword Technique, to the highest level of mastery, everything else was in vain.

"I'll use the Sword Sect's ultimate technique to send you on your way. What can I do, I'm just too kind."

Lu Yao smiled faintly, intending to test the power of the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One.

With a flick of his finger, Lu Yao instantly condensed countless sword energies, which danced in the air and combined to form a very complex sword formation.

The "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" technique is a cultivation method that leads directly to the peak of the Grandmaster realm. At the beginning, the cultivator can condense the sword energy of "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One". As the realm improves, the cultivator can eventually condense ten thousand swords to form a powerful sword formation.

In an instant, Lu Yao condensed thousands of sword energies, forming a sword formation that surrounded the three of them.

The powerful sword aura caused the expressions of the three, including the Sword Emperor, to change drastically. In the face of the Myriad Swords Returning to the Origin Sword Formation, the three appeared extremely insignificant.

"This is impossible! How could you possibly have mastered the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One technique so quickly!"

Sword Emperor stared blankly at Lu Yao with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

The Sword Emperor had practiced the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One technique, and even created his own sword move based on it – Ten Thousand Swords Return to One.

The Return of Ten Thousand Swords to One is merely a sword technique, a martial art perfectly suited to the Sword Emperor himself. It is impossible to say that its power is greater than that of the Return of Ten Thousand Swords to the Source, but it is still quite powerful.

In the eyes of the Sword Emperor, Lu Yao's current display of the Myriad Swords Return to Origin technique was extremely terrifying and could not be mastered in a short time.

In all his years of life, the Sword Emperor had only ever seen such a powerful Myriad Swords Returning to One sword aura on his own uncle, the Sword Venerable.

However, Lu Yao only asked him for the sword manual of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One today, so it was impossible that he knew it beforehand, otherwise why would he have asked him for it?

But the Sword Emperor couldn't understand it. Could there really be born sword gods in the world? Could they learn sword techniques just by watching one swordplay?

Amidst the terrified expressions of the three, the sword energy of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin descended, instantly turning them into dust.

Feeling the fluctuations of the world's origin growing from the Haotian Pearl, Lu Yao's lips curled up.

The killing of the three Sword Emperors brought Lu Yao more than four thousand units of world origin, which greatly made up for the consumption of the two sword techniques he had just practiced.

Of course, the one who contributed the most was Nameless. He contributed half of the origin of more than four thousand worlds, so you can imagine the impact Nameless had on the subsequent plot.

With his powerful sword energy protecting him, Lu Yao entered the secret cave to investigate.

Inside the cave, there were more than twenty people, all frozen into ice sculptures, with no vital signs.

"It seems the Sword Sect is doomed. In that case, let my Free and Unfettered Sect take over."

Looking at Jian Hui, who was frozen in ice, Lu Yao smiled, but he was planning to take over both the Sword Sect and the Sword City.
