The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

In the bamboo grove courtyard, a bright moon hangs in the night sky, and the bright stars twinkle from time to time.

In Xin Ruyin's attic boudoir, Lu Yao picked her up and strode towards the bed.

The fine gauze curtains slowly fell, concealing the scene inside the bed. Only the flickering red candlelight in the room mingled with the breathing coming from within.

……

The next morning, Lu Yao walked out of the pavilion and saw Xiao Mei squatting at the entrance, looking like she hadn't slept well and was dozing off.

"Uncle!"

Hearing the noise behind her, Xiaomei got up and saw that it was Lu Yao. She quickly called out to him.

"Xiaomei, you should still call me Brother Lu."

Lu Yao chuckled and waved to Xiao Mei.

"Hehehe, okay, son-in-law."

Xiao Mei chuckled and stuck out her tongue.

"Let your young lady rest a bit more, I'll be going now."

Lu Yao chuckled softly, then transformed into a rainbow of light and left Ruyin Pavilion.

But as soon as Lu Yao left, Xin Ruyin appeared in the courtyard.

"Miss!"

When Xiaomei saw Xin Ruyin, she quickly went to help her up.

"What are you thinking? I'm a cultivator, my body isn't that weak."

Seeing Xiaomei's nervous expression, Xin Ruyin couldn't help but smile.

Cultivators are far more physically robust than mortals, so the pain of a first night naturally wouldn't have any effect on Xin Ruyin.

"When will Brother Lu come back?"

Xiaomei naturally knew that Lu Yao was leaving. She felt very sorry for her young mistress, who had just found someone to entrust her life to, and now they had to part ways.

“I don’t know, but I know my husband will come back.”

Xin Ruyin smiled sweetly, a look of sweetness appearing on her face as she thought of Lu Yao.

Xin Ruyin opened her palm, revealing a needle-shaped talisman.

Just in case, Lu Yao gave the Invisible Needle Talisman to Xin Ruyin for self-defense, since with his late Foundation Establishment cultivation, the talisman was of little use to him.

"Xiaomei, from today onwards, Ruyin Pavilion will no longer be open to the public, and I will no longer teach formations."

Xin Ruyin wanted to focus all her energy on repairing the ancient teleportation array, so she decided to put aside everything else.

"I'll do it right away."

Xiao Mei nodded. Now that Xin Ruyin's physical condition problem had been temporarily resolved, they no longer needed to worry about spirit stones, and they could put aside these time-consuming and laborious matters.

Back in the attic, Xin Ruyin took out one of the pills that Lu Yao had refined and was about to take it.

"It's actually a high-quality elixir!"

Xin Ruyin looked at the pill in her palm with disbelief in her eyes.

There are many alchemists, but only a handful can refine high-quality pills.

"Husband..."

Xin Ruyin let out a soft sigh, then stopped thinking about the pills and began repairing the teleportation array.

……

After leaving the Tianxing Sect market, Lu Yao headed straight for the Yanyue Sect.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take Xin Ruyin with him, but it was too much trouble.

If Xin Ruyin is brought to the Hidden Moon Sect, the Hidden Moon Sect will definitely help solve the problem of the Dragon Roar Physique, but Xin Ruyin will probably be unable to leave the Hidden Moon Sect.

From then on, Xin Ruyin would become a tool for the Hidden Moon Sect to manipulate Lu Yao, causing unnecessary trouble.

The existence of the Origin World should not be exposed too early, and Xin Ruyin cannot stay in the Origin World forever. Staying in the Tianxing Sect Market at this time is the most appropriate choice.

A few days later, Lu Yao suddenly stopped.

"Jiayuan City..."

Lu Yao's mind stirred, and he suddenly thought of the plot about Jiayuan City in the original work.

"How could I forget about this? Hehehe, but it's not too late to remember now."

Lu Yao chuckled and then fell straight down from the sky, putting away his flying artifact.

After entering Jiayuan City, Lu Yao went to a restaurant.

"Sir, would you like to order something?"

The waiter approached Lu Yao's table and asked with a smile.

"No rush, come here, I have something to ask you."

Lu Yao smiled faintly, and some loose silver appeared on the table.

"Hehehe, if there's anything you don't know, please feel free to ask me."

The waiter's face lit up with surprise. He quickly put the loose silver into his pocket and respectfully said to Lu Yao.

Do you know the Mo family?

Lu Yao knew that Han Li had helped the Mo family gain a foothold in Jiayuan City and had even left behind the puppet Qu Hun. He just didn't know what had become of the Mo family after all these years.

"The Mo family? Are you referring to the Mo family that was destroyed by the Five Colors Sect a year ago?"

Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, Xiao Er immediately thought of the Five-Colored Gate.

"Was it wiped out again?"

It seems that a thought struck him. It seems that Brother Han's arrangements in Jiayuan City are exactly the same as in the original story. The Mo family was still destroyed.

"Tell me about the Five Colors Sect. Just tell me what you know."

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yao decided to start with the Five Colors Gate.

If Qu Hun is still possessed by the Core Formation cultivator of the Yu Ling Sect, then he must be near Jia Yuan City.

However, the original text says that he would run around anywhere within a hundred miles of Jiayuan City, making him very difficult to catch.

Therefore, the Soul-Guiding Bell that controls the Soul of the Song must be found first in order to determine the location of the Soul of the Song.

Han Li told him that he had handed the Soul of the Melody over to the Mo family, but did not say who it was given to, so Lu Yao could only start investigating from the Five Colors Gate.

"Speaking of which, the Mo family was unlucky. Several years ago, a master joined the Mo family, which brought them a period of peace."

"Unfortunately, for some reason, that expert suddenly disappeared, and the Five Colors Sect took the opportunity to attack, breaking into the Mo family and wiping out the entire clan."

The waiter spoke with great conviction, as if he had experienced it firsthand, but it was likely just hearsay.

Lu Yao guessed that Qu Hun must have run away because he was possessed by that Core Formation cultivator from the Yu Ling Sect.

However, Lu Yao certainly didn't believe that the entire Mo family had been wiped out and not a single member had escaped. How could the Mo family have been unprepared when they discovered that Qu Hun was gone?

"Speaking of which, the Mo family isn't completely wiped out. I heard that the young master of the Five Colors Sect is going to marry a former young lady of the Mo family. I wonder if it's true or not."

Xiao Er shook his head, suddenly remembering a recent rumor, though he wasn't entirely sure what it was about.

"Black Jade Beads!"

Lu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately knew who the young master of the Five Colors Sect was going to marry.

A moment later, Lu Yao left the restaurant and headed towards the mansion of the Five Colors Sect's leader.

Lu Yao's heart stirred, and his figure disappeared, having used a minor Qi Refining spell—the Invisibility Technique.

It can conceal its form, making it undetectable to ordinary mortals; only cultivators might be able to sense its movement.

The master of the Five-Colored Gate is surnamed Li, so this mansion is also called Li Mansion.

When Lu Yao stepped into the Li residence, he saw countless servants setting up various festive decorations, as if a major happy event was about to take place.

"It seems that Mo Yuzhu's marriage into the Li family is something that will happen soon."

Lu Yao guessed that these things were prepared by the Five Colors Sect Master for his son's marriage to Mo Yuzhu.
