The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

After parting ways with Han Li, Lu Yao returned to Forget-Worry Valley and began cultivating the Water Control Technique.

Although progress is slow, it's better than nothing.

Two months later.

Han Li arrived at the entrance of Forget-Worry Valley, his expression somewhat hesitant.

After a few breaths, Han Li, with a determined expression, walked into the Valley of Forgetfulness.

"Please, Elder Lu, save me!"

Upon seeing Lu Yao, Han Li immediately knelt down and begged.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Brother Han? Also, calling Elder Lu is a bit too formal. I've already called you 'brother,' so it's not too much for you to call me 'brother,' is it?"

Lu Yao was taken aback, then unleashed a burst of energy, lifting Han Li up.

"Yao, Brother Yao."

Han Li looked somewhat awkward, feeling a little embarrassed by the change in address for a high-ranking elder to such an intimate one.

"That's right, what happened?"

Lu Yao nodded and asked with a smile.

"Just as Brother Yao predicted, Mo Juren was indeed up to no good. In order to control me, he actually poisoned me!"

Han Li's expression immediately turned ugly when he said this.

He still had doubts after Lu Yao warned him.

After returning to Shenshou Valley, he told Mo Juren about his successful cultivation of the Everlasting Spring Technique.

Unexpectedly, Mo Juren was very happy and told him to cultivate diligently, and that he would provide all the help he needed.

During this time, Han Li also discovered the effects of the Palm Heaven Bottle, which had the incredible ability to accelerate the ripening of medicinal herbs.

Han Li was initially quite happy, after all, his master valued him so much and even gave him cultivation pills.

However, in the period that followed, Han Li noticed that something was amiss.

Mo Juren's gaze and attitude towards him were too strange, which reminded him of Lu Yao's words.

In the following days, Zhang Tie disappeared, and a masked man in black suddenly appeared beside Mo Juren.

This gave Han Li a bad feeling.

Later, because Han Li focused some of his energy on alchemy and slightly neglected the practice of the Everlasting Spring Technique, Mo Juren's ambition was fully exposed.

Mo Juren fed Han Li the poisonous Corpse Worm Pill and threatened him with his family members to make him obey.

This left Han Li feeling helpless and terrified. Not knowing what to do, he went to Lu Yao's place.

After listening to Han Li's account, Lu Yao was not surprised at all; he had long been aware of Mo Juren's thoughts.

He simply wanted Han Li to cultivate the Everlasting Spring Skill to the fourth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible so that he could possess Han Li's body.

There are conditions for possessing another's body in the mortal world: first, one cannot possess another mortal; second, one can only possess someone of a higher realm who is of a lower realm; and third, one can only possess someone's body once.

All three conditions are indispensable, which is why Mo Juren was in such a hurry to reveal his malice, wanting Han Li to cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible.

Although Mo Juren could not cultivate immortality, he obtained a body-snatching technique from Yu Zitong, which could burn his essence and lifespan to increase his magical power, just enough to surpass the fourth level of Qi Refining.

However, using it would lead to death, so Mo Juren only had one chance.

"Poison? Let me see."

Lu Yao arrived in front of Han Li, and his true energy directly entered Han Li's body.

Soon, Lu Yao discovered a dormant Gu worm inside Han Li's body.

With a thought, Lu Yao instantly enveloped the Gu worm with his true energy and pulled it outward.

"vomit!"

Han Li felt a wave of nausea and immediately vomited up a worm wrapped in true energy.

"This is the Gu worm that Mo Juren placed on you."

Lu Yao smiled, and the Gu worm was instantly crushed by his true power, turning into a pool of black water.

"Thanks to Brother Yao for saving my life!"

Han Li looked at Lu Yao with genuine excitement.

After experiencing despair, Han Li felt genuine gratitude towards Lu Yao for extending a helping hand.

"It doesn't have to be this way."

Lu Yao waved his hand, saying it was just a small matter for him.

"Brother Yao, Mo Juren is, after all, an elder of the Seven Mysteries Sect. What if he threatens me with my family again?"

Han Li thought of his family and looked very worried.

"Brother Han, don't worry, I'm here for you."

"Let's go! Let's go and meet this Elder Mo."

Lu Yao laughed heartily, but he didn't take Mo Juren seriously.

Mo Juren is merely a grandmaster martial artist; even with Yu Zitong added to the mix, they could never be a match for Lu Yao.

Soon, Lu Yao led Han Li to the Valley of Divine Hands.

"Elder Mo, I, Lu, have come to pay my respects. Please grant me an audience."

With his hands behind his back, Lu Yao shouted directly into the Divine Hand Valley.

In just over ten breaths, Mo Juren appeared in front of Lu Yao.

"Elder Lu, what brings you to my Divine Hand Valley?"

When Mo Juren saw Han Li behind Lu Yao, his expression darkened slightly, but he still patiently asked.

"Han Li! Come here now!"

Mo Juren gave a light shout and reprimanded Han Li.

"Elder Mo, please wait. I have come here for Han Li."

Lu Yao smiled faintly and stopped Mo Juren.

"Oh? Elder Lu sought me out because of my worthless disciple?"

Mo Juren's expression shifted slightly, and he gave Han Li a cold glare.

"I think Han Li is very talented and a promising talent. I would like to bring him to my Forget-Worry Valley. I wonder if Elder Mo would be willing to part with him?"

Lu Yao chuckled and looked at Mo Juren with interest.

"impossible!"

Mo Juren's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Lu Yao with some surprise and uncertainty.

He suspected that Han Xin had said something to Lu Yao, but he wasn't entirely sure.

"Elder Mo, this is not up to you."

Lu Yao sneered and said, completely unconcerned.

"asshole!"

Mo Juren looked furious. Han Li was his hope for cultivating immortality, so how could he possibly give up on him?

"Silver Hand!"

Mo Juren could no longer hold back and attacked Lu Yao directly.

Mo Juren's hands were covered in a layer of silver light, and he struck Lu Yao's chest at an extremely tricky angle.

"Out of control."

Lu Yao smiled faintly, and with a thought, countless bolts of lightning appeared.

"Emperor's Crazy Thunder!"

Countless bolts of lightning surrounded Lu Yao, and a terrifying aura swept across the surrounding area.

The deep black lightning directly forced Mo Juren back, leaving a dark wound on his hand.

"You are a cultivator!"

Mo Juren had never seen such a scene before and immediately assumed that Lu Yao was a cultivator.

"It's not magic! How is this possible! Mo Juren! Capture him! Seize this technique!"

A sinister voice echoed in Mo Juren's mind, making no attempt to conceal its greed.

"Easier said than done!"

Mo Juren cursed loudly. He had just been forced back by the lightning and even suffered minor injuries. How could he possibly defeat Lu Yao?

"Mo Juren, if you have no other means, then die here."

Lu Yao remained calm as he finished speaking, and countless bolts of lightning roared toward Mo Juren.

"Fireball!"

Mo Juren gritted his teeth. This was a modified version of the fireball spell given to him by Yu Zitong. Although its power was weaker than when cast with magic, it was still beyond the reach of even a grandmaster martial artist.
