The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Lu Yao's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage didn't cause much of a stir, but it was quite obvious to those who were interested.

The fact that the Thunder Spirit Root was accepted as a disciple by Old Monster Qiong was enough to attract the attention of most disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect.

This even includes Zhou Qingyun, who was recently injured by Old Monster Qiong.

At this moment, Zhou Qingyun, accompanied by his two followers, was watching Lu Yao's cave from afar.

Dark clouds covered the sky above the cave, with flashes of lightning appearing from time to time.

Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage will not involve a tribulation of lightning. The unusual phenomena appearing above the cave are mainly due to the breakthrough of the lightning spiritual root and the cultivation technique.

When a cultivator with a unique spiritual root breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, there is a chance of unusual phenomena occurring. Most of these phenomena are related to the cultivator's unique spiritual root attribute, indicating that the cultivator who broke through has a profound foundation and outstanding talent.

"Brother Qingyun, I've found out the truth. This kid has offended the patriarch, so he won't be able to cause trouble for long. Do you think we should give him some trouble?"

The young female cultivator behind Zhou Qingyun's expression shifted slightly, and she leaned closer to him and whispered something.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingyun paused slightly, and after a moment of silence, he ultimately decided to leave Lu Yao alone for the time being.

“This country bumpkin is, after all, a disciple of Grandmaster Qiong. It’s not good to mess with him within the sect, especially since he’s about to advance to Foundation Establishment.”

In Zhou Qingyun's eyes, Lu Yao was nothing more than a country bumpkin who had gotten lucky, and he had never taken Lu Yao seriously.

However, Qiong Tianyu's strength and status were far beyond what a Zhou family disciple could possibly achieve by trying to take advantage of him.

He learned that Lu Yao had offended his ancestor thanks to Zhou Yibao.

Zhou Qingning was confident that Lu Yao would not refuse to become Zhou Yibao's Daoist partner, so she told Zhou Yibao in advance.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yao refused, causing Zhou Qingning to lose face and making Zhou Yibao furious.

Zhou Yibao declared that he would definitely teach Lu Yao a lesson.

Old Monster Qiong wouldn't concern himself with such conflicts between juniors, and Zhou Qingning wouldn't even specifically instruct anyone to target Lu Yao.

However, there will always be people who make their own choices based on the circumstances.

"Keep an eye on him. I'm about to break through as well. We'll talk about everything after I do."

Even though Lu Yao was a cultivator with a unique spiritual root who had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, Zhou Qingyun was still not afraid of Lu Yao. This was the confidence he had as a disciple of a cultivation family.

……

Inside the cave, the commotion caused by Lu Yao's foundation building completely subsided.

He currently has very little magical power in his body and needs to spend some time stabilizing his realm and filling his dantian with magical power.

Lu Yao took out the pills given to him by Old Monster Qiong and began to take them.

Three days later, Lu Yao raised his cultivation from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to perfection and left the cave.

Now that I have successfully established my foundation, it is time to pay a visit to my master.

But when Lu Yao stepped out of his cave, he saw a figure blocking the entrance.

"You're Lu Yao?"

The one who spoke was a beautiful young woman. Her pretty face and light red dress made her look somewhat charming, but her furrowed brows gave Ta a slightly harsh expression.

"Zhou Yibao?"

Lu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly. He had only been in the Hidden Moon Sect for a short time, and apart from refusing to become a Daoist partner with this second-generation immortal, he shouldn't have offended her.

"Hmph! Why do you refuse to become my Daoist partner?"

Zhou Yibao snorted coldly, raised her chin slightly, and looked at Lu Yao with an arrogant expression.

"Does this need a reason? I just don't want to."

Lu Yao chuckled lightly and shrugged indifferently.

"Hehehe, ignorant fool, do you think that unique spiritual roots are so precious in the Hidden Moon Sect? Let me tell you the truth, there are no fewer than five unique spiritual roots in the sect. Who do you think you are? Arrogant and aloof here, refusing to become my Daoist partner, how laughable!"

Zhou Yibao sneered, looking at Lu Yao with disdain, wanting to verbally attack him.

"You have a different spiritual root?"

Lu Yao looked at Zhou Yibao calmly and said.

"You! Even if I don't have a different spiritual root, I'm still not someone you can aspire to! Want to be my Daoist partner? Dream on!"

Zhou Yibao was speechless for a moment, and his eyes turned somewhat fierce.

"You think too much."

Lu Yao completely ignored Zhou Yibao and flew away.

Lu Yao has now advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, while Zhou Yibao is still at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, so naturally he has no ability to stop Lu Yao from leaving.

"Damn bastard!"

A purplish-red magic bead appeared in Zhou Yibao's hand. She wanted nothing more than to smash Lu Yao to death with the bead, but she still managed to maintain some rationality and restrain herself.

……

"This woman is really inexplicable."

Lu Yao shook his head, utterly speechless at the woman.

Lu Yao had a general idea of ​​Zhou Yibao's background. His Zhou family ancestor, Zhou Qingning, was one of only two Nascent Soul cultivators in the Hidden Moon Sect, which meant he had an extremely powerful background.

However, the Hidden Moon Sect is, after all, a sect, and it will not let the Zhou family do as they please. It also imposes many restrictions on them, not to mention that there is also Old Monster Qiong protecting them.

Outside the cave of Old Monster Qiong, just as Lu Yao was about to knock on the door with a sound transmission talisman, Old Monster Qiong's voice entered his ears.

"come in."

Old Monster Qiong had obviously spotted Lu Yao long ago and had been waiting for him.

Inside the cave, Lu Yao met Old Monster Qiong.

He was controlling a ball of flame, refining a needle-shaped magical artifact.

Seeing that Old Monster Qiong did not greet him, Lu Yao wisely stood aside and waited.

An hour later, the flames died down, and the needle-shaped talisman, gleaming with a cold light, fell into the hands of Old Monster Qiong.

"You've successfully established your foundation so quickly, not bad at all."

Old Monster Qiong turned around and looked at Lu Yao, a very satisfied smile on his face.

"I have to thank my master for his guidance."

Lu Yao cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said.

"Stop with the nonsense. Here, take this. With this talisman in hand, no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator will be your match."

Old Monster Qiong waved his hand impatiently and threw the needle-shaped talisman he had just refined to Lu Yao.

"This treasure is called the Invisible Needle Talisman Treasure. It was made based on my magic weapon and can only be used once. Once it is used, even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator will be severely injured if they don't die."

Old Monster Qiong looked at Lu Yao with a smug expression, clearly very satisfied with his masterpiece.

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this treasure."

Lu Yao immediately understood that Old Monster Qiong had given him a trump card to save his life.

"But run away as soon as you're done using it. I have a lot of enemies. This stuff is my own creation. If a Core Formation cultivator finds out about it, I can't save you."

Old Qiong chuckled strangely; being his disciple wasn't so easy.

"I will certainly avoid fighting with others and value harmony above all else."

Lu Yao chuckled and immediately pocketed the Invisible Needle Talisman Treasure.

"This is a gift from your Uncle Zhou, take it."

Old Monster Qiong tossed a storage bag to Lu Yao, saying it without a care.

“Uncle Zhou? Master, I refused Uncle Zhou’s arrangement. I hope it won’t upset her.”

Lu Yao frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask Old Monster Qiong a question.

"Hehehe, what do you think? She's not exactly a magnanimous woman."

Old Monster Qiong chuckled, looking at Lu Yao with a hint of schadenfreude.
