The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Without the control of the Golden Light Master, the golden bell shield formed by the talismans slowly dissipated.

Master Jin Guang was merely a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining; how could he possibly withstand a mental attack?

The Golden Bell Shield talisman can only block physical and normal magical attacks; it does not have the effect of defending against mental attacks.

Talismans capable of resisting mental attacks are not something that Golden Light Venerable can possess; they are generally only available to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In fact, the flying sword talisman of Venerable Jin Guang is an extremely powerful treasure, comparable to top-tier magic weapons. Even ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators use talismans.

If Venerable Jin Guang is at the late stage of Qi Refining, this flying sword talisman would be enough to make him invincible in the Qi Refining stage.

Unfortunately, Venerable Jin Guang's cultivation level was too low, and he couldn't unleash the power of the talisman at all, which benefited Lu Yao.

Lu Yao walked up to the corpse of the Golden Light Master and directly took the flying sword talisman from his hand.

They obtained a token and a Golden Bell Shield talisman from him.

There were also a few spirit stones and a bottle of pills.

Looking at the immortal inscription on the token, Lu Yao understood that this was the Ascension Token issued by Huangfeng Valley. He could directly go to Huangfeng Valley and receive a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Just the fact that it can be used to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill makes this token quite valuable.

It's important to know that the entire Yue Kingdom is controlled by the seven major sects, making it extremely difficult to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Only a small number of Foundation Establishment Pills are released at each Ascension Ceremony to prevent unruly cultivators from causing trouble.

"Haotian Pearl! Appraisal!"

As a beam of light streaked across the flying sword talisman, a message appeared in Lu Yao's mind.

Item: Flying Sword Talisman

Rank: Sub-magic weapon (fake)

Used times: 3/5

Function: Forged by Core Formation cultivators, it is somewhere between a magic weapon and a magic treasure. It is extremely powerful, but once its uses are exhausted, the talisman will self-destruct.

In the hands of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, a talisman can threaten a Foundation Establishment cultivator; above that, there are true treasures, which can even threaten a Core Formation cultivator.

After getting what he wanted, Lu Yao left the Golden Light Temple and began his return to the Seven Mysteries Sect.

When the disciples of Jin Guang Temple saw that their master had died, they each took the temple's valuables and ran away. No one came to collect Jin Guang's body, but his gold and silver ornaments were looted again.

It took Lu Yao another ten days to return to the Seven Mysteries Sect.

On the way back to the Seven Mysteries Sect, the spirit stones and pills they had looted from Master Jin Guang were used up again.

Lu Yao's cultivation level has also advanced to the second level of Qi Refining.

After returning to the Seven Mysteries Sect, Lu Yao first summoned the managing disciple at the Four Seas Hall.

Has anything happened in the sect recently?

Lu Yao sat in a chair, picked up a cup of tea, and asked casually.

"Reporting to Elder Lu, apart from investigating Vice Sect Master Ma, nothing else has happened in the sect recently."

"By the way, Vice Sect Master Ma's nephew, a disciple named Wu Yan, got into a conflict with a genius disciple of the Blood Blade Hall, and they even fought each other, which drew a reprimand from the elders."

When the disciple in charge of Sihai Hall mentioned Vice Sect Master Ma, he suddenly remembered something that had happened a few days ago and couldn't help but speak up.

"What's the name of that Blood Blade Hall disciple?"

Although Lu Yao had some guesses in his mind, he still asked.

"His name is Li Feiyu. I heard he's been getting quite close to those two disciples from Shenshou Valley lately."

The disciple in charge uttered a name that Lu Yao was very familiar with.

"Hehehe, Li Feiyu is a murderer and arsonist, while Han Tianzun is a savior of suffering."

Lu Yao chuckled to himself, recalling a popular saying.

"Keep a close eye on this person, and report back to Forget-Worry Valley if you have any news."

Lu Yao smiled and then assigned a task to the disciple in charge.

"Disciple obey!"

The disciple in charge was delighted and quickly accepted the task.

Being able to serve the elders is something many disciples would beg for, but I never expected that he would get on Elder Lu's ship first.

In the following months, Lu Yao frequently traveled between the Origin World and the Mortal World, keeping an eye on Han Li's movements.

……

One year later, in God's Hand Valley.

After bidding farewell to Li Feiyu, Han Li was on his way back to Shenshou Valley.

As dusk approached, countless stars twinkled faintly in the sky.

Han Li was already very familiar with the way back to Shenshou Valley, so he wasn't in a hurry.

"Ouch!"

As he walked, Han Li suddenly tripped over a stone and rolled on the ground.

"Where did this broken rock come from!"

Han Li turned over and searched his calves, muttering to himself speechlessly.

"Huh? What is this?"

Just as Han Li was about to get up and leave, a faint green glow caught his attention.

Han Li quickly arrived at the source of the green fluorescence and dug it out of the soil.

"It's actually a small bottle."

Han Li scratched his head and carefully examined the small green bottle for a few moments.

After watching for a while, Han Li still couldn't figure it out. Seeing that it was getting darker, he put the small green bottle into his bag and headed towards Divine Hand Valley.

Not far away, Lu Yao was standing on a treetop, watching Han Li's departing figure, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"This Heavenly Bottle is indeed not to be touched."

Lu Yao shook his head, glancing warily at the spot where the small green bottle had been.

Lu Yao had already sensed the area around Divine Hand Valley, but found no trace of the Palm Heaven Bottle.

Furthermore, Lu Yao's senses had been focused on Han Li the whole time. Before Han Li discovered the little green bottle, there was nothing there at all.

The new arrangement was clearly orchestrated by a powerful being, specifically to allow Han Li to obtain the Heavenly Bottle.

Lu Yao estimated that his presence had not been noticed by the hidden powerful beings, probably because the Haotian Pearl had concealed it for him.

"Although we can't take the Heavenly Bottle, we can still make use of it."

Lu Yao chuckled softly, and his figure vanished in an instant.

Now that Han Li has obtained the Heavenly Bottle, his plan can begin.

At this time, Han Li had already begun cultivating the Everlasting Spring Technique given to him by Mo Juren, and had already reached the first level of Qi Refining.

Because Zhang Tie failed to cultivate magical power, Mo Juren believed that he lacked spiritual roots, so he changed his cultivation method to the Elephant Armor Technique.

Elephant Armor Kung Fu is a martial arts technique that, after practice, makes the body tough and grants immense strength.

Mo Juren gave Zhang Tie this technique with ill intentions, planning to turn Zhang Tie into a puppet.

……

"Damn it! That Li Feiyu is increasingly disregarding me!"

In the disciples' dormitory, Wu Yan looked extremely angry.

"Young Master Wu, Li Feiyu's martial arts are too strong, we can't beat him."

Wu Yan's underlings looked distressed and offered their helpless words of advice.

Li Feiyu is currently one of the most outstanding disciples in the Blood Blade Hall, and he will soon be able to join the core hall of the Seven Mysteries Sect—the Seven Absolutes Hall.

This made Wu Yan extremely jealous, and the more she thought about it, the more resentful she became.

After the death of Deputy Sect Master Ma, Wu Yan, as his nephew, received preferential treatment in the Seven Mysteries Sect, and martial arts resources were also allocated to him.

Unfortunately, his martial arts talent was far inferior to Li Feiyu's, which made him extremely unbalanced.
