The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Lu Yao condensed a sword aura and slashed towards the belly of the fire qilin.

A red inner core of essence flew out of the cave and headed towards the outside.

Its speed was so fast that even a master couldn't stop it, but unfortunately it encountered Lu Yao.

"It really does contain essence!"

Lu Yao's expression shifted, and he immediately took action to intercept him.

Lu Yao directly enveloped it with his Origin Space, instantly taking it into his Origin Space.

Once it reaches the Origin Space, this essence has absolutely no chance of escaping.

Feeling the essence of the Qilin within the primordial space, Lu Yao was very satisfied.

He glanced at the fire qilin's corpse, then waved his hand and put it into his primordial space.

Lu Yao was not in a hurry to investigate the Qilin's essence, but continued to venture deeper into the Lingyun Cave.

He hadn't forgotten that the real treasures were yet to come on Lingyun Road.

After walking along a stone path, Lu Yao arrived at another stone cave.

The stone walls of this cave also bear inscriptions of martial arts techniques, which is one of Lu Yao's goals for this trip.

"Mysterious Tortoise True Skill!"

Lu Yao looked at the martial arts manuals on the wall and couldn't help but smile.

In no time, Lu Yao had memorized all the martial arts techniques written on the stone wall.

The Xuanwu True Skill is an unparalleled martial art created by Wu Wudi, one of the ten strongest martial artists, by fusing ten different martial arts styles.

In Lu Yao's eyes, this was definitely a Saint-level cultivation technique.

The Xuanwu True Skill includes ten unorthodox martial arts, including knives, swords, spears, halberds, staffs, and so on.

It also includes internal energy cultivation, lightness skills, and ultimate techniques, making it very comprehensive.

The Xuanwu True Skill is very powerful, but it is difficult to cultivate and requires countless hours.

Currently, Lu Yao's world origin is insufficient, so he cannot quickly cultivate this technique. Therefore, he can only memorize it and cultivate it slowly on his own.

With the Xuanwu True Skill, Lu Yao can be considered to have a ticket to enter the Saint level.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao Battle Box of Wu Wudi was not in Lingyun Cave. Otherwise, with this weapon in hand, even ordinary Saint-level experts would not be a match for Lu Yao.

Suppressing his thoughts, Lu Yao casually unleashed his sword energy, destroying the Xuanwu True Skill on the wall, and now ventured deeper into Lingyun Cave once more.

Two hours later.

Lu Yao arrived at a huge cliff.

Below the cliff, all that could be seen was a bottomless abyss of darkness, like a gigantic maw capable of swallowing everything.

On the opposite side of the cliff, on a high platform, there is a stone seat with a skeleton sitting on it, gazing in Lu Yao's direction.

In his hand, he held a rusty yellow greatsword, which was quite inconspicuous.

Lu Yao leaped into the air, crossed the cliff and abyss, and arrived beside the skeleton.

Looking at the spine behind the skeleton, Lu Yao understood that this was the dragon vein that could influence all things in the world, but he didn't quite understand how it influenced anything.

As far as Lu Yao knew, dragon veins had the effect of suppressing demonic nature and enhancing power, and they also contained the fortune of the Divine Land, making them extremely mystical.

Lu Yao picked up the dragon vein and examined it carefully in his hand.

In an instant, the Haotian Pearl emitted a fluctuation.

Lu Yao immediately understood the role of the dragon vein.

This dragon vein is actually a treasure of fortune.

Suppressing demonic nature and enhancing power are merely incidental abilities; its true function is to gather and concentrate fortune.

The Haotian Pearl can absorb the fortune from the dragon vein, provided that Lu Yao can completely control this treasure of fortune.

According to the feedback from the Haotian Pearl, this treasure of destiny still belongs to the Yellow Emperor. However, since the Yellow Emperor is dead, the dragon vein itself is already very fragile.

Without further hesitation, Lu Yao channeled a sword aura through his finger, condensing a drop of essence blood which he then dripped onto the dragon vein.

The moment the essence blood landed on the dragon vein, it was absorbed by the dragon vein and began to emit a golden light.

Lu Yao immediately felt a connection between himself and the dragon vein in his hand.

Furthermore, there was a strange consciousness within the dragon vein, but it was extremely weak and in a state of utter stillness.

"Could it be the will of the Yellow Emperor?"

Lu Yao stared in shock at the skeleton on the stone seat. He hadn't expected that even after the Yellow Emperor had been dead for so many years, a trace of his divine consciousness still remained in the dragon vein, though it was practically nonexistent.

But it's still clear what a formidable master the Yellow Emperor was.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yao directly shattered and dispelled that wisp of the Yellow Emperor's divine will, completely taking control of the Dragon Vein.

The dragon vein burst forth with a burst of golden light, which then began to dissipate, returning to its previous state.

Lu Yao understood that the dragon vein was no longer the fragile backbone it once was. With the divine fortune within it, the dragon vein was now arguably the most resilient thing in the world of Fengyun.

As the dragon vein changed hands, the skeleton on the stone seat instantly turned to ashes, and the rusty greatsword in its hand fell to the ground.

Lu Yao naturally had not forgotten the Xuanyuan Sword, which was known as the number one divine weapon in the world.

With a flick of his inner energy, the rusty Xuanyuan Sword instantly flew into Lu Yao's hand.

Looking at the dragon vein on his left hand, Lu Yao had an idea and poured the divine fortune of the land into the Xuanyuan Sword.

A golden light emanated from the Xuanyuan Sword in Lu Yao's hand, the rust on the sword began to dissipate, and the blade became extremely sharp. A divine sword full of mystery was revealed to the world once again.

After Lu Yao took control of the dragon vein, he understood how to use the Xuanyuan Sword.

The Xuanyuan Sword is indeed the number one divine weapon in the world, but it requires the use of luck to activate, and will also consume luck in the future.

In other words, the Xuanyuan Sword is a divine weapon imbued with destiny; without destiny, it would be inferior to even an ordinary sword.

But with the blessing of good fortune, the Xuanyuan Sword possesses unparalleled power, and any weapon pales in comparison.

Looking at the Dragon Vein and Xuanyuan Sword in his hands, a hint of conflict flashed in Lu Yao's eyes.

The fortune within a dragon vein should be immense, accumulated over thousands of years.

However, fortune is not calculated cumulatively in this way.

The Yellow Emperor once unified the world, and his territory was far more than the present-day China. After many ups and downs, the fortune in the dragon veins, when converted into the world's origin, is only a few hundred thousand units.

However, this fortune represents the fortune of the Divine Land. If Lu Yao were to take it all away, then a great calamity of a thousand years would be imminent, and natural and man-made disasters would occur continuously in the Divine Land, making it no longer suitable for human survival.

Lu Yao would never do something so short-sighted as to drain the pond to catch all the fish.

Furthermore, without good fortune, even the Xuanyuan Sword would become scrap metal, making it a losing proposition.

After a moment's thought, Lu Yao decided to have the Haotian Pearl extract ten thousand units of world origin to learn the Xuanwu True Skill and enter the Sainthood realm.

The dragon vein once represented the Yellow Emperor and the fortune of the entire land of China. Now that Lu Yao has obtained it, it can only represent the fortune of the far north ice plains.

If Lu Yao does not take action soon, the fortune in the dragon vein will continue to flow away, returning to heaven and earth at a rate of tens or hundreds of times per day.

Therefore, Lu Yao must unify the land as soon as possible to stop the decline of fortune.
