The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

As the overlord of the far northern ice plains, the Sword Sect controls more than a dozen cities with its formidable sect strength.

Otherwise, where would the cultivation resources for so many disciples of the Sword Sect come from? We should have known that the saying "poor scholars, rich warriors" is no joke.

With the Sword Sect's strength greatly diminished, Lu Yao naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. Only if the Free and Unfettered Sect could control the far northern ice plains and slowly develop and accumulate strength could they one day contend for supremacy in the Divine Continent.

In the Sword Sect's secret realm, Lu Yao used the key he obtained from Po Jun and Wu Ming to take away the original copy of the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin Sword Manual.

Other sword manuals were obviously not placed here, but Lu Yao didn't care and left the secret cave directly.

Lu Yao's figure flashed and he appeared on the Sword Sect's Sword Testing Square.

As soon as Lu Yao's mind stirred, hundreds of disciples of the Free and Unfettered Sect appeared instantly.

"Immediately proceed to the designated location, occupy the position, and if you encounter any Sword Sect disciples, capture them alive. If they dare to resist, execute them!"

These disciples were all at the Innate Realm. Under Lu Yao's orders, they immediately began to go to various key points of the Sword Sect to cleanse and occupy them.

Lu Yao sensed the surroundings and headed towards a sword-shaped cave dwelling.

……

"Senior brother, who do you think will win between Po Jun and Wu Ming?"

Inside the cave dwelling of a Sword Sect elder, two elders were playing chess and chatting casually.

"Who else could it be? Po Jun is the sect leader's son and has been deeply taught by the sect leader since childhood. Although Wu Ming is exceptionally talented, he is definitely no match for Po Jun."

The white-haired elder holding the black chess piece chuckled. He naturally didn't have confidence in Po Jun, but rather in Sect Master Jian Hui.

What is the Myriad Swords Return to the Origin Sword Manual? All the elders know that those who cultivate the Myriad Swords Return to the Origin Sword Manual are candidates for the next sect leader.

Therefore, Jianhui would absolutely not allow Wuming to win.

"I don't think so. Wuming is born with a sword bone and his swordsmanship talent far surpasses Pojun's. How could he not have a chance?"

The elder holding the white chess piece frowned slightly and said calmly.

It is clear that these two elders belong to different factions and have different supporters.

Just as the two were chatting, a disciple of the Sword Sect rushed in in a panic.

"What's going on? Such a panicked scene is utterly disorganized!"

The white-haired elder threw down the black chess piece in his hand and angrily rebuked the Sword Sect disciple who ran in.

"Elder Liang, Elder Duan, something terrible has happened! Someone has attacked Sword Peak! The disciples are unable to hold them off. Please, elders, take action and slay the enemy!"

The Sword Sect disciple knelt on the ground and shouted anxiously.

Currently, all the key locations of the Sword Sect are being attacked by the disciples of the Free and Unfettered Sect. Relying on the advantage of the number of experts, the Sword Sect's guards were quickly defeated. Some died, some fled, and some disciples with low cultivation levels were even captured alive.

"What! Someone actually dares to invade my Sword Sect! They're courting death!"

Elder Duan, with his white hair, suddenly turned serious and stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.

The Sword Sect has dominated the far north ice plains for hundreds of years and has never been attacked before, but now it has happened.

"Hmph! They must have found out that many of my Sword Sect's elders have gone to the secret realm to attend the ceremony, and they want to take the opportunity to cause trouble!"

Elder Liang, who had just played the white pieces, snorted coldly, clearly mistaking the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect for an invading force from the martial arts world.

"Let's go! I want to see who dares to attack my Sword Sect!"

Elder Duan shouted loudly and was about to set off to suppress the rebellion.

"No need, I'm already here."

Just as the two Sword Sect elders inside the cave were about to go and suppress it, a clear, cold voice came from afar and entered their ears.

"Who goes there! Show yourself!"

Elder Duan's white hair flew wildly, and his expression was extremely furious.

Elder Duan drew a broad, dark sword and stared intently at the entrance to the cave.

Elder Liang, standing to the side, also drew a sharp sword, ready for battle.

Neither of them were fools; since the intruders dared to come to their doorstep, they must have something to rely on.

“Junior Brother Liang, the strength of the newcomer is unknown. I will do my best to hold him off. You go to the secret realm immediately to inform the sect leader and ask the elders to come and provide support. Once the sect leader and the elders arrive, let's see how these people can cause trouble!”

Elder Duan whispered instructions to Elder Liang beside him.

"Senior brother, don't worry!"

Elder Liang also knew that he needed to inform the sect leader immediately and not act rashly.

"Hehehe, you want to go to the secret realm to find Jian Hui? No need to go, they're all dead."

Lu Yao finally appeared, dressed in a brocade robe, strolling into the cave.

"Who are you! Why have you offended my Sword Sect!"

Elder Duan brandished his deep black broadsword and stared intently at Lu Yao.

"The far northern ice plains are quite nice; my Xiaoyao Sect has taken a liking to them. As for the Sword Sect, we'll have to trouble you to move out of here."

Lu Yao chuckled lightly, his words revealing that he didn't take the Sword Sect seriously at all.

"You bastard! Die!"

Elder Duan was furious. He gave Elder Liang a wink and then charged at Lu Yao like a wild beast.

"Trampled by all beasts!"

Elder Duan roared, and his sword energy erupted. His dark, broad sword seemed to carry the momentum of a hundred beasts rushing through the mountains and forests as it slashed towards Lu Yao.

These elders of the Sword Sect all cultivate master-level techniques and sword skills, and their strength is not weak. Otherwise, the Sword Sect would not have been able to dominate the far north ice plains for hundreds of years.

I knew that the far northern ice plains were not truly barren lands. Beneath the far northern glaciers lay numerous mystical ice iron mines, and countless ice lotuses graced the snow-capped mountains. These were all martial arts resources, of considerable value.

Without sufficient strength, the Sword Sect simply cannot hold its ground.

The moment Elder Duan made his move, Elder Liang used an extremely exquisite lightness skill to try and leave the cave.

"I told you Jianhui and the others are all dead, why don't you believe me? You should stay."

Lu Yao shook his head. Why didn't these two believe him? He had sincerely told them this news.

Lu Yao stopped talking to the two and immediately unleashed the outer technique of the Heavenly Origin Sword Art. An unparalleled sword aura instantly appeared, along with a terrifying oppressive force.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this!"

Elder Duan's expression changed drastically as he stared at Lu Yao in disbelief.

Although he was an elder of the Sword Sect, not everyone could see the sect's ultimate techniques.

But at this moment, Lu Yao frowned deeply.

When he used the Heavenly Origin Sword Technique, a faint attraction entangled him. If the Haotian Pearl hadn't sensed Lu Yao's resistance and repelled the attraction, Lu Yao didn't know what would have happened.

"Could it be the Sword Realm?"

Lu Yao suddenly remembered the situation of the Sword Realm in Feng Yun, and couldn't help but think of it.

But why didn't his "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" technique attract the Sword Realm?

Lu Yao was somewhat puzzled. Both sword techniques were peerless top-level sword skills. If the Heavenly Origin Sword Technique could do it, then the Myriad Swords Return to Origin Technique should also be able to do it.

Lu Yao suppressed his thoughts and stopped thinking about the Sword Realm.
