The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Looking at this terrifying scene, Lu Yao could sense an extremely powerful malice emanating from it.

Just as Lu Yao was observing the huge vortex in the center of the sword pool, a faint light flashed and disappeared.

"what!"

Lu Yao was startled; he sensed an extremely strong malice.

"call out!"

A black light shot towards Lu Yao at such a speed that Lu Yao almost didn't notice it.

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from the black light, Lu Yao dared not be careless and immediately unleashed his strongest sword technique.

"Radiant Thunder Sword Qi!"

Lu Yao gave a soft shout in his heart, and a sword aura flashing with lightning instantly condensed, transforming into a light sword that blocked Lu Yao's way.

"boom!"

The two beams of light collided fiercely, and two completely different sword intents raged in the sword pool, sweeping away the mist around Lu Yao.

The Radiant Thunder Sword Qi only lasted a few breaths before it began to retreat steadily.

"Oh no! What the hell is this?!"

Lu Yao's expression changed as he sensed the black light getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but frown.

As the black light drew closer, Lu Yao finally saw what was attacking him.

It was a black sword that gleamed with a dark, eerie light and constantly emitted malevolent intent.

Lu Yao only watched for a while before feeling somewhat drowsy, and his heart tightened immediately.

He quickly activated the Haotian Pearl and left the Sword Realm.

In just a few breaths, the Radiant Thunder Sword Qi completely dissipated, and the black sword remained suspended in place.

The black sword flashed and transformed into an old man with white hair and deep black pupils, dressed in a black robe.

"Hehehe, it actually got away. What a waste of such a fine body."

The old man in black robes looked at the spot where Lu Yao had disappeared, let out a cold laugh, and then vanished.

Lu Yao slowly sat down after returning to his original space, thinking about the black sword.

"Could it be the sword spirit of the Twelve Swords of Xuanyin?"

Lu Yao frowned, guessing about the situation with the black sword.

In the world of swords, there is an extremely powerful sword technique called the Twelve Swords of Xuan Yin.

The Twelve Profound Yin Swords originated from the Sword Pool. It is an extremely evil sword technique that can control the mind of its master, turning them into a puppet of the Twelve Profound Yin Swords.

Furthermore, the Twelve Swords of Xuan Yin possess sword spirits, which are extremely intelligent and treacherous.

If it truly is the sword spirit of the Twelve Profound Yin Swords, it's normal that Lu Yao is no match for it.

Its true strength is definitely at the Saint level, and it's in a world like the Sword Realm. Its strength has increased significantly, so even if Lu Yao has Saint-level swordsmanship, he can't beat it.

"It seems we won't be able to go to the Sword Realm anytime soon."

After learning of the power of the Twelve Profound Yin Swords, Lu Yao naturally refused to enter the Sword Realm again.

Now he is rejected by Sword Mountain. As soon as he enters the Sword Realm, he will be teleported to the Sword Pool. The sword souls of the Twelve Profound Yin Swords control the Sword Pool. He will be discovered as soon as he enters, which is extremely dangerous.

With that thought in mind, Lu Yao put aside the matters of the Sword Realm and left the Origin Space.

Inside the Free and Unfettered Sect in the world of Fengyun, Lu Yao was listening to Yang Guo's report.

“Master, we have now completely taken control of more than a dozen cities in the far north ice plains, and trade has been restored. Everything is back on track.”

"Furthermore, according to intelligence, the remnants of the Sword Sect have all fled to the Central Plains of China, presumably to seek refuge with those powerful forces."

"We have recruited more than 3,000 new disciples, but most of them have not reached the Acquired Realm and are of little use."

……

As Lu Yao's disciple, Yang Guo served as the acting sect leader when Lu Yao was away, and he was responsible for pushing things forward.

"We don't need to worry about the remnants of the Sword Sect anymore. They won't amount to anything. The new disciples who join the sect can be trained slowly according to the training system. I will transfer another five hundred disciples from the headquarters of the Free and Unfettered Sect. Prepare well, and in six months, my Free and Unfettered Sect will sweep across the Divine Continent!"

Lu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke calmly.

"With Master here, my Free and Unfettered Sect will surely unify the Divine Land!"

Yang Guo smiled, his expression full of confidence.

In Yang Guo's heart, his master was a true immortal who traveled across various worlds and led the Xiaoyao Sect to continuous growth. Being able to become his disciple was the most correct thing he had ever done in his life.

After pointing out some of Yang Guo's doubts about martial arts, Lu Yao left the Xiaoyao Sect.

Hundreds of meters above the ground, Lu Yao stood on the back of the giant eagle, his hands behind his back.

His target this time was Lingyun Cave.

The Lingyun Cave contains many treasures, including the Blood Bodhi, the Xuanwu True Skill, the Xuanyuan Sword, and the Dragon Vein, all of which are rare treasures in the world.

Furthermore, Lu Yao intends to meet the Fire Qilin this time. If he can obtain its essence, he will then know exactly what its function is.

The Fire Qilin is considered the weakest of the four sacred beasts. The White-Haired Xiong Ba brought it to the brink of death with a single move, demonstrating that its strength is far inferior to that of the Divine Dragon.

A few days later.

Lu Yao arrived at the Lingyun Cave of the Leshan Giant Buddha, feeling the intense heat emanating from it, but his expression remained unchanged.

Crossing the entrance to Lingyun Cave, one is greeted by a very wide stone path, with traces of fire still visible on the walls.

Using his lightness skill, Lu Yao quickly slipped into the cave.

Soon, Lu Yao encountered several forks in the road.

However, Lu Yao was able to detect the intense heat in the cave and followed the trail of the Fire Qilin, so he did not get lost.

Suddenly, Lu Yao stopped in his tracks and saw a skeleton lying in a crevice in the cave wall.

Lu Yao knew that these were the remains of Duan Lang's father, Duan Shuai.

Lu Yao reached out and took the ring from the bone finger and the Fire Kirin Sword from the ground.

Lu Yao directly stored the ring into his Origin Space. It was just Duan Shuai's identity ring and nothing special.

The key is still the Fire Kirin Sword in Lu Yao's hand.

The Fire Kirin Sword was originally just an ordinary divine weapon, but after it was inlaid with the reverse scale of the Fire Kirin, it was upgraded to one of the top peerless weapons in the early stages of the Wind and Cloud era.

After Lu Yao obtained the Fire Kirin Sword, it emitted a faint scarlet light, and a trace of violent intent began to erode Lu Yao's spiritual platform.

However, since the Haotian Pearl was suppressing Lu Yao's spiritual platform, he was naturally unaffected.

Lu Yao casually stored the Fire Kirin Sword into his Origin Space. A sword aura swept across the ground, stirring up countless clods of earth that buried Duan Shuai's remains.

As Lu Yao ventured deeper, the intense heat in the air grew even stronger.

Soon Lu Yao arrived at a huge circular stone cave.

The stone cave here is filled with strange pillars, with no discernible pattern.

However, Lu Yao immediately noticed a lush vine wrapped around a stone pillar.

The vines were covered with countless red fruits, which were emitting a faint red glow and a fragrant aroma.

"Blood Bodhi!"

Lu Yao immediately knew what was growing on the vine.

Lu Yao approached the vine, picked a blood bodhi seed, and put it in his mouth.

The Blood Bodhi melted upon entering his mouth, transforming into a surge of energy that instantly enveloped Lu Yao's entire body.

Countless red lights began to appear around Lu Yao, and Lu Yao felt warm all over, and his true energy was rapidly increasing.
