The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

The emperor of the Central Continent Dynasty, the supreme martial arts master of the Divine Continent, died in the imperial city. As soon as the news spread, the whole world was shaken.

What made the martial arts world even more chaotic was that many grandmasters who had joined the Righteous Alliance were killed, and these forces were also caught in the turmoil.

After Lu Yao annihilated the Righteous Alliance, the Free and Unfettered Sect immediately began to take action, quickly occupying major cities in the west.

Iron Prince's Mansion.

"boom!"

The Iron Lion Man stared in shock at his subordinate who had relayed the message. In his panic, he crushed the teacup in his hand.

"My father was a peerless martial artist! How could he have died in the Central Continent Imperial City!"

The Iron Lion Man flashed and appeared in front of the messenger, grabbing his collar and roaring loudly.

Emperor Wuchang convened a high-level meeting of the Righteous Alliance, and the leaders of various forces attended the banquet, including the Iron Prince's Mansion. Bei Ye Xiong Shi personally went, leaving his son to look after the house.

Little did they know that this departure would be their last.

"Tell me! Who killed my father!"

The man with the iron lion was furious and asked through gritted teeth.

"Young Master, according to the experts who escaped from the capital, the Saint Realm experts of the Free and Unfettered Sect were fighting with the mysterious experts of the Righteous Alliance. They ran away when they saw that things were not going well, which is how they escaped this calamity."

"Now that all the experts of the Righteous Alliance have been slaughtered, it must have been the work of the Carefree Sect."

Seeing the ferocious expression on the Iron Lion Man's face, the disciple who brought the news was also terrified, fearing that he would be used to vent his anger. He quickly told him everything he knew.

"A Saint Realm expert?!"

Iron Lion Man immediately grasped the key information, and his anger was instantly dampened.

As a powerful force with a deep foundation, the Iron King's Mansion has information about those who have reached the Saint Realm, and there has even been a mansion master who has reached the Saint Realm.

Unfortunately, heroes don't dwell on their past glories. The Iron King's Mansion has also declined to this day, and its lord is only at the late Grandmaster level.

"hateful!"

The man with the iron lion slammed his fist on the table, his face full of resentment.

Even if one is filled with the strongest desire for revenge, one must hide it when faced with an unparalleled powerhouse.

The death of the leader of the forces in the Imperial City was not limited to Bei Ye Xiong Shi. Other forces and the Iron King's Mansion suffered similar fates, all daring to be angry but not daring to speak out, let alone try to stop the Xiaoyao Sect's westward expedition.

After killing Di Shitian, Lu Yao also wanted to destroy the Tianmen sect, but the sect's location was extremely secretive, and Lu Yao didn't know where it was.

However, based on the description in the original work, Lu Yao could roughly guess the approximate location of the Heavenly Gate.

The interior of the Heavenly Gate is entirely made of extremely cold, mysterious ice, presumably chosen by Emperor Shitian for his own cultivation.

Furthermore, after Indra killed the phoenix, he occupied Phoenix Island and established the Heavenly Gate, so the location of the Heavenly Gate could only be at sea.

Taking all these factors into account, the location of Tianmen was further narrowed down.

It was very easy to occupy the territory of the World Society, and there was no resistance. So Lu Yao sent Yang Guo with several grandmasters to explore several places that were suspected to be the location of the Heavenly Gate, hoping to find some clues.

As a sect created by Indra, Tianmen has accumulated numerous treasures over two thousand years.

Furthermore, Emperor Shitian passed on the Sacred Heart Technique to his closed-door disciple, the Divine Mother, and Lu Yao also wanted to try to seize this technique.

After entrusting the task of finding the Heavenly Gate to Yang Guo and the others, Lu Yao returned to the Origin World.

In the medicine garden of the Origin Space, many medicinal herbs collected from various worlds are planted.

However, the most precious ones are only two.

One is the Ice Lotus from the mythological world, and the other is the Blood Bodhi Vine from the world of Fengyun.

Since the two exotic plants were planted in the herb garden, little has changed.

Lu Yao came here mainly for the Blood Bodhi Vine.

The Blood Bodhi Vine was discovered by Lu Yao in Lingyun Cave. It took hundreds of years for it to grow only about twenty Blood Bodhi vines, making its growth cycle extremely slow.

Emperor Shitian possesses phoenix blood, and his flesh and blood contain extremely powerful energy. Lu Yao intends to try to let the Blood Bodhi Vine absorb it to increase its growth rate.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yao summoned the flesh and blood of Emperor Shitian to the side of the Blood Bodhi Vine.

The Blood Bodhi Vine reacted quickly, though very faintly, but Lu Yao still sensed it.

After sensing the energy of Indra's flesh and blood, the roots of the Blood Bodhi Vine are moving towards Indra's flesh and blood at an extremely slow speed.

Lu Yao then sat cross-legged on the spot and quietly observed.

A few days later.

Indra's flesh and blood were already wrapped by the roots of the Blood Bodhi Vine, with countless tiny roots penetrating deep within, drawing energy from it.

The Blood Bodhi Vine has also undergone obvious changes, with several small flower buds growing on its vines, clearly preparing to bloom.

Meanwhile, the ice lotus in the pool seemed eager to absorb the energy from Emperor Shitian's flesh and blood, having already drifted to the edge of the pool and eyeing the flesh and blood covetously.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much flesh and blood, so Lu Yao didn't divide it into two portions.

After the Blood Bodhi Vine had finished devouring Indra's flesh and blood, it had already opened seven flower buds, which were extremely enchanting and bright red.

Seeing this, Lu Yao was very satisfied. After pouring in a lot more true energy, he left the Origin Space.

The true identity of Indra is Xu Fu, a Taoist priest during the Qin Dynasty, who was ordered to refine the elixir of immortality for Qin Shi Huang.

After learning that the auspicious beast possessed the ability to live forever, Xu Fu led 20,000 of Qin's most elite soldiers to kill the phoenix on Phoenix Island, seize its essence, and thus obtain the ability to live forever.

Lu Yao couldn't quite understand how the Phoenix, one of the Four Sacred Beasts, could be killed by 20,000 soldiers. It was only possible if they used innate masters as soldiers and grandmasters as generals to form a large formation to surround and kill it.

However, such a powerful army is incredible. After all, Lu Yao controls four great worlds, and the number of innate masters in the Xiaoyao Sect is only close to 10,000, and there are only more than 20 grandmasters.

It is conceivable how powerful the Qin Dynasty was at that time, far surpassing the current Central Continent Dynasty.

However, Lu Yao knew that the Four Divine Beasts were immortal and would be resurrected even if they were killed.

Just as the Fire Qilin has been resurrected many times, the Phoenix and Black Tortoise, which are also among the Four Divine Beasts, should also have the ability to be resurrected.

Now that Indra is dead, the Phoenix's resurrection will surely be faster, but finding the Heavenly Gate and Phoenix Island is one thing, so there's no rush.

Lu Yao's current plan is to go to the vast desert to find the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan and investigate the whereabouts of the dragon turtle.

Xiao Sanxiao only obtained the dragon turtle's blood; he did not kill it. In the original story, Bu Jingyun only found a dragon turtle shell, which does not prove that the dragon turtle was dead.

After thoroughly digesting the essence of the Fire Qilin during this period, Lu Yao also discovered that consuming the essence did not truly grant immortality.

It's just that his lifespan has been greatly extended; Lu Yao estimates that he should be able to live for several thousand years without any problem.
