The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Lu Yao stepped onto the beach of Phoenix Island, carefully observing his surroundings.

According to the information Yang Guo gathered, Phoenix Island is the largest of the three islands, and there is an extinct volcano in the center of the island.

Phoenix Island is located on the edge of the far south sea, and fishermen sometimes accidentally wander onto the island.

However, they would all inexplicably leave Phoenix Island, completely unable to remember what happened on the island.

When Lu Yao set foot on Phoenix Island, he was immediately spotted by two Heavenly Gate disciples dressed in pure white robes with indifferent expressions.

"Another mortal has arrived. Junior Brother Wang, it's up to you now."

One of the older Tianmen disciples stood with his hands behind his back and casually spoke to his fellow disciples beside him.

"Judging from their clothes, they aren't those ignorant fishermen. How did they end up on the island?"

Upon hearing his senior brother's words, the Tianmen disciple surnamed Wang looked somewhat puzzled.

They were disciples of Tianmen stationed around Phoenix Island, and their main task was to drive away fishermen who had wandered onto the island by mistake.

"Heh, so what if they're not fishermen? They're just ordinary people, and they're still at our mercy."

A fleeting look of disdain crossed the eyes of the older Tianmen disciples.

"Then please lend me your magic weapon, senior brother, and I will drive this person away immediately."

Junior Brother Wang nodded and prepared to take action to drive Lu Yao away.

With a wave of his hand, the older Tianmen disciple produced a lotus-shaped treasure and handed it to the Tianmen disciple surnamed Wang.

"The spiritual energy in the Soul Lotus is about to run out. After dealing with him, we need to go back to the sect to replace it."

Seeing the lotus-shaped magical artifact dimming, the disciple who had taken it out muttered to himself.

Just as the Tianmen disciple surnamed Wang was about to drive Lu Yao away with his magic weapon, he found that Lu Yao was nowhere to be seen on the beach.

"What about people?!"

The disciple surnamed Wang was stunned. In the blink of an eye, Lu Yao, who had been walking on the beach just moments before, had vanished.

The Tianmen disciple who was called "senior brother" was also taken aback and quickly looked around the beach, searching for Lu Yao's figure.

"Are you looking for me?"

Just as the two were wondering what was going on, a voice that terrified them rang out.

"Not good! I've been discovered!"

The two men's expressions changed instantly, and they immediately reacted, gripping their weapons tightly.

"This magical artifact is quite interesting."

Lu Yao was unconcerned by the two men's tense demeanor, but his attention was drawn to the lotus-shaped treasure in their hands.

In Lu Yao's perception, this lotus treasure contained the true energy fluctuations of the Sacred Heart Technique, but the true energy within it was about to be exhausted.

"Who are you! How dare you trespass on my sect's island?!"

The older Tianmen disciple gave a soft shout, staring at Lu Yao with great vigilance.

"Fine, you'll know once you've taken them down."

Lu Yao shook his head. These two were only at the Innate Realm; how could they possibly stop him?

However, with two experts at the Innate Realm guarding the gate, and possessing treasures imbued with the aura of the Sacred Heart Technique, this place must undoubtedly be Phoenix Island.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yao unleashed two sword energies that instantly pierced through the dantian of both men.

This was only because Lu Yao intended to spare their lives; otherwise, even a grandmaster would have been seriously injured by this sword strike.

"My question only needs to be answered by one person. Whoever answers too slowly can die."

Lu Yao chuckled lightly and spoke calmly.

"Bah! Kill us then! The Goddess will avenge us!"

The Tianmen disciple surnamed Wang clutched his aching dantian and glared at Lu Yao with hatred.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword light flashed, and the head of the disciple surnamed Wang flew off, the splattered blood landing on the face of another Tianmen disciple.

"I...I'll tell you, sir. Please ask whatever you want, and I'll tell you everything I know!"

Upon seeing his junior brother die a gruesome death, he dared not remain defiant and quickly expressed his willingness to cooperate.

"They say that those who know when to yield are the heroes. Whether you survive or not depends on yourself."

Lu Yao chuckled lightly, looking at the Tianmen disciple in front of him with a half-smile.

If this Tianmen disciple can cooperate with him honestly, it wouldn't be unreasonable to spare his life, since the life and death of a Tianmen disciple is insignificant.

"Yes, yes, yes, what you say is true, sir."

The Tianmen disciple, kneeling on the ground, endured the excruciating pain in his dantian and forced a fawning expression.

"Where is it located on the island of Tianmen?"

Phoenix Island is very large. Although Lu Yao estimated that the Heavenly Gate was inside the volcano in the center of the island, he still needed to confirm it.

"The sect is located inside the sacred mountain on the island, which is that volcano."

"There are three layers inside the sacred mountain: the Void Sacred Realm, the Free and Easy Realm, and the Immovable Human Realm."

The Tianmen disciple kneeling on the ground quickly replied.

"Hehe, the name that Di Shitian chose really suits his personality."

Hearing the words of the Tianmen disciples, Lu Yao chuckled to himself.

To name one's dwelling place after the Three Realms is truly arrogant.

Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, the Tianmen disciple kneeling on the ground narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Yao in shock.

Indra is the master of the Heavenly Gate and an omnipotent god in the eyes of all his disciples, holding a supreme position.

But in Lu Yao's words, the sect leader, whom he revered like a god, was not taken seriously at all.

At this point, he realized he had encountered a formidable opponent, and dared not conceal anything further.

"Is your goddess, Luo Xian, on the island?"

Lu Yao thought for a moment and then asked him.

Now that Emperor Shitian is dead, Luo Xian is the strongest in the Heavenly Gate, and the Sacred Heart Technique is also on her.

"The Divine Mother? Yes, she's currently in seclusion in the Free Realm!"

……

A moment later, Lu Yao swiftly rushed towards the center of the island.

The Tianmen disciple from earlier was relatively well-behaved, so Lu Yao didn't kill him but knocked him unconscious.

Lu Yao also took that lotus treasure.

According to the Tianmen disciple, this treasure can erase the memories of ordinary people and was given to them, the guardian disciples, by Tianmen to expel mortals.

The two of them were only responsible for one area; there were more than a dozen other guard teams at other locations, all of whom possessed this lotus treasure.

Lu Yao headed towards the volcano, encountering many guards along the way, all of whom he easily defeated.

Because these guards died too quickly, they had no chance to pass on the information about Lu Yao's invasion.

So it wasn't until half an hour after Lu Yao had been on the run that Tianmen discovered someone had intruded.

"Who are you! How dare you trespass on my Heavenly Gate!"

A priest clad in white armor, wielding a long spear, led a large group of Heavenly Gate disciples to intercept Lu Yao.

"Is this all there is at Tianmen? Call Luo Xian out."

Lu Yao glanced at the Heavenly Gate General in front of him and said calmly.

Generals are a position within the Heavenly Gate, and most of them are high-ranking members of the Heavenly Gate, similar to elders in ordinary sects. They are all quite powerful.

"How dare you! You dare to address the Goddess by her name! Seize her!"

The general's expression changed slightly, and he shouted sternly.
