The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Lu Yao glanced discreetly in the direction of the Yellow Maple Valley disciples and, sure enough, spotted Han Li among them.

"Execute the mission and rendezvous within the restricted area."

Lu Yao glanced at Qiong Laoguai and the other Core Formation cultivators in the distance, and then transmitted his voice to Han Li.

Han Li, who was initially feeling a bit down, immediately relaxed upon seeing Lu Yao.

Han Li didn't really want to participate in this Blood Trial, especially after obtaining two Foundation Establishment Pills from Chen Qiaoqian and Senior Brother Lu in Huangfeng Valley.

With the Foundation Establishment Pills that Lu Yao gave him, he now had four, and he felt that he didn't really need to risk his life in the Crimson Forbidden Land.

However, he had already registered and would normally take three months to break through using the Foundation Establishment Pill. He wouldn't be able to explain the source of the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and board Li Huayuan's spirit beast.

In a short while, Old Monster Qiong and the Core Formation cultivators from the other six sects stood in mid-air and together they unleashed a barrier-breaking formation.

"boom!"

Seven beams of light shot out from the formation, striking a patch of empty space with tremendous force and overflowing spiritual light.

Visible tremors appeared in the void, and a magic array covered with runes suddenly appeared. The rainbow light from Qiong Laoguai and the others slowly opened an opening in it.

"This entrance can only be maintained for five days. Those who do not come out after five days will be responsible for their own lives. Don't blame me for not warning you. Enter quickly!"

The leader of the Giant Sword Sect shouted, urging the disciples of the seven major sects to hurry inside.

Without delay, everyone took to the air and quickly flew into the entrance of the barrier.

Lu Yao nodded to Han Li and, without lingering, flew into the forbidden area with the others.

As soon as Lu Yao stepped into the forbidden area, he felt a formation power envelop him, and in the blink of an eye, he had already landed.

Lu Yao immediately understood that the forbidden area's teleportation restriction had been triggered, randomly teleporting him into the forbidden area.

Lu Yao immediately summoned the Thunder Soul Pearl and placed it in front of him for protection.

Before setting off, the sect sent everyone a detailed list of the Crimson Forbidden Land, including a map and information on the locations of treasures.

Within the forbidden area, some places are extremely dangerous, and a moment's carelessness can lead to certain death.

Lu Yao calmly surveyed the surroundings for a moment, and after confirming that there was no danger, he immediately took out a Qi Condensation Pill and began to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

In just over ten breaths, Lu Yao's aura changed, and the pressure of a Foundation Establishment cultivator immediately swept across the surroundings.

"Buzz!"

Just then, a pale green restriction appeared above Lu Yao, and a repulsive force began to squeeze him.

"not good!"

Lu Yao's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected that the restriction on realm suppression wasn't just at the entrance; the entire forbidden area was under its influence.

Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately took out the Dragon Vein that he hadn't used for a long time. The power of his luck erupted and enveloped Lu Yao within it.

The restrictions in the air seemed to be unable to find Lu Yao's presence and began to slowly dissipate.

"Whoo~"

Lu Yao let out a soft breath. His guess was indeed correct; the protective power of the dragon vein could indeed shield him from the detection of the array within the forbidden area.

The power of destiny within the dragon vein is a power that does not belong to the mortal world. The principle of the restrictive formation is also based on the strength of the cultivator's magical power to determine the cultivator's realm. Therefore, the dragon vein was able to help Lu Yao avoid the restrictions of the forbidden area.

After confirming that everything was alright, Lu Yao headed straight for the central district, which was his destination.

"It truly lives up to its reputation as a treasure trove of medicinal herbs; rare and precious herbs from other places are found all over the place here."

Lu Yao smiled faintly, marveling at the abundance of medicinal herbs in this forbidden area, but his hands did not stop moving.

Under the influence of magical power, countless medicinal herbs, along with their roots and soil, were collected by Lu Yao and planted in his Origin World.

Wherever Lu Yao went, not a single medicinal herb remained, as if it had been plowed over.

It was only because Lu Yao had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage that he dared to squander his magical power so quickly; otherwise, ordinary Qi Refining cultivators wouldn't be able to do it so fast.

Before long, Lu Yao encountered a disciple of Huadaowu who was hiding in the shadows, trying to ambush him. With his Foundation Establishment stage divine sense, Lu Yao easily discovered the person.

"Nether Thunder Arrow!"

A lightning arrow appeared, transforming into a bolt of lightning that instantly pierced through the disciple of the Blade Transformation Pavilion.

Lu Yao came to his side and took the storage bag directly into his hand.

He possesses the twelfth level of Qi Refining, two mid-grade magic artifacts, more than a dozen Qi Refining talismans, several bottles of pills to replenish his mana, and more than a dozen various spiritual herbs.

Clearly, this disciple of the Minghua Blade Dwelling hadn't laid an ambush yet; he only had the items he brought with him.

Because after leaving, the Core Formation cultivators of various sects will search the storage bags of the cultivators who entered the forbidden area, the cultivators participating in the trial will only bring necessary items, and items unrelated to the battle will not appear in their storage bags.

After packing his things away, Lu Yao continued towards the central area.

Because Lu Yao's starting point was not far from the central area, it only took him half a day to reach the third level of the central area.

The central area is divided into three layers and is shaped like a mountain range.

The outermost layer consists mostly of ornamental plants and flowers, which, apart from being rare and beautiful, have little value.

Lu Yao was aware of this, so he skipped the third floor and went straight to the second floor.

The second level is the core area of ​​the entire forbidden zone, filled with ancient caves, palaces, precious medicinal herbs, and treasures. However, it is also fraught with danger, with numerous traps and guardian monsters.

Looking at the vast expanse of white fog before him, Lu Yao remained calm. Based on the information provided by the sect, he chose a path and walked straight in.

Meanwhile, due to the mist, some Qi Refining cultivators were already waiting outside the mist.

"Is this guy an idiot? He dares to rush in even though he sees this fog?"

"Did he not know about the existence of the Moon Sun Pearl?"

"Damn it! Why aren't the people from Tianque Fort here yet? They're still dawdling even with the Moon Sun Pearl in their hands. This person dared to enter the mist alone; they must have something to rely on! It seems we're going to get beaten to it."

Several Qi Refining cultivators watched as Lu Yao's figure disappeared into the mist, and they all had their own guesses.

The fog blocked all the cultivators, including Nangong Wan, who could only wait on the outside for the people of Tianque Fortress to use the Moon Sun Pearl to dispel the fog.

Lu Yao dared to enter the mist directly because of his divine sense. The mist's greatest ability was to obscure the vision of Qi Refining cultivators, making them extremely vulnerable to being ambushed and killed by demonic beasts.

Lu Yao's divine sense could easily cover an area of ​​more than ten meters, and he could detect any unusual activity in advance, so he was not worried about being bothered by the fog.

"call out!"

Just then, a swift sound pierced through the mist and attacked Lu Yao.

"boom!"

Lu Yao's expression remained unchanged. The Thunder Soul Pearl flashed with lightning, and the violent thunder directly shattered the incoming spiritual light.

At the same time, the lightning continued unabated, shooting towards the direction from which it was coming.

"Roar!"

A mournful roar of a beast rang out, then fell silent within moments.
