The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

The bamboo grove courtyard, day and night turn in turn.

After a day and a night of dual cultivation, Lu Yao not only eradicated the hidden dangers of Xin Ruyin's Dragon Roar Body, but also understood the wonderful uses of the innate Dragon Yang Qi.

If a man is born with the Dragon Roar Body, he can strengthen his meridians and expand his dantian by relying on the innate dragon yang energy.

Most importantly, it can also make magic power exude a bright and domineering aura, which has a strong restraining effect on those who cultivate the path of blood, evil, or ghosts.

Lu Yao only absorbed a portion of the innate dragon yang energy through the wondrous Yin-Yang Creation Technique; the rest had already dissipated into the world.

The benefit Lu Yao received was that a Dragon Yang inscription appeared on his Golden Core.

Lu Yao could sense that the magic power he had condensed had been imbued with an extremely domineering aura.

Lu Yao opened his eyes and looked at Xin Ruyin, who was sleeping soundly and exhausted, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

He stroked Xin Ruyin's hair and simultaneously probed her body with his divine sense to examine her physical condition.

Xin Ruyin's dantian had dried up, and the dragon yang energy that was originally rooted there had disappeared, leaving only desolation. In fact, Xin Ruyin's cultivation level had even dropped back to the second level of Qi Refining.

Xin Ruyin has excellent spiritual root aptitude. If it weren't for the Dragon Roar Physique holding her back, she would have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

……

The rain pattered down, and the clear rainwater flowed down from the bamboo roof of the pavilion.

Lu Yao sat by the window, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, pondering his next plan.

More than ten days have passed since we helped Xin Ruyin get rid of the Dragon Roar Body.

Now that Lu Yao has formed his core, unless a Nascent Soul cultivator investigates him at close range, it is difficult for anyone to know his true cultivation level.

The upcoming battle between the righteous and demonic factions at Jingu Plain will be a perfect opportunity for him to fish in troubled waters.

With his Azure Sky Divine Thunder Divine Power, he is no match for most mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, and even late-stage Core Formation cultivators can be challenged. Very few cultivators on the battlefield can threaten him.

Xin Ruyin has already repaired the ancient teleportation array and can teleport to the Chaotic Star Sea at any time. With this backup plan, Lu Yao is even less worried.

He wouldn't stop until he had slaughtered Jin Guyuan to the point of bloodshed, since that was the very origin of the world.

As for Xin Ruyin, Lu Yao already planned to send her to the Origin Space. Xin Ruyin's talent lies in formations, and combat is not her forte. Lu Yao was really worried about leaving her alone outside.

Just then, a graceful figure slowly walked behind Lu Yao, and a fair, white hand rested on Lu Yao's shoulder.

"Is my husband troubled by matters concerning the Yue Kingdom?"

News of the great battle between good and evil in the Yue Kingdom has already spread, and the Yuanwu Kingdom, which is closest to it, is naturally paying the most attention to the situation in the Yue Kingdom.

After all, if the Yue Kingdom falls, their Yuanwu Kingdom will be the next battlefield.

Therefore, news of the righteous and demonic paths spread quickly in Yuanwu Kingdom, and Xin Ruyin also heard about it.

"I wouldn't call it a worry, but I'm worried about Ruyin."

Lu Yao chuckled softly and reached out to grasp Xin Ruyin's flawless white hand.

"Although I know the dangers of the great battle, I do not wish to be separated from my husband."

A hint of worry flashed in Xin Ruyin's eyes. She didn't know Lu Yao's cultivation level and thought he was at the Foundation Establishment stage. The battle between the righteous and demonic forces was dangerous, so she couldn't help but worry about Lu Yao.

"This is the Inverted Five Elements Formation that I crafted. I rarely have the ability to defend myself, so I entrusted it to my husband for self-defense."

Xin Ruyin took out a set of array plates from her storage bag and handed them to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao took the array plate, his expression shifting slightly. This was the Inverted Five Elements Array, which was known as a minor forbidden array.

In fact, the Reversed Five Elements Formation wasn't of much help to Lu Yao, since he already possessed the Thunder Prison Barrier Divine Power, whose effects overlapped with this formation.

However, no one would complain about having too many treasures, so Lu Yao accepted them.

"Ruyin, I'll take you somewhere."

Lu Yao's eyes flickered slightly. He took Xin Ruyin's hand and they arrived at the Origin Space in an instant.

……

After settling Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei in the Origin Space, Lu Yao transformed into a rainbow of light and left the Tianxing Sect Market.

As a result, Ruyin Pavilion became empty, and the array formations within it were all dispelled by Xin Ruyin, leaving it an empty pavilion.

"Is this the secluded place you mentioned for the Core Formation cultivator?"

Several days after Lu Yao left, a Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Yuan arrived at Ruyin Pavilion with a cultivator dressed as an elder of the Tianxing Sect.

"Indeed, I am the Core Formation cultivator I met here half a month ago, at that time..."

The Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Yuan dared not conceal the truth and quickly recounted what had happened.

“You have acted decisively. The Core Formation cultivator has already left, so this matter ends here.”

The elders of the Tianxing Sect scanned the area with their divine sense and discovered that Ruyin Pavilion was now completely empty.

He had originally come on behalf of the Tianxing Sect, intending to have a conversation with this unfamiliar Core Formation cultivator and persuade him not to cause trouble. Now that he had left, he figured it was better to avoid further complications.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief. He was currently overseeing the market, and having a Core Formation cultivator by his side always made him uneasy, which is why he reported to the sect.

Now that Lu Yao is gone, he naturally feels much more at ease.

……

Lu Yao was unaware that the Heavenly Star Sect had sent people after he left. At this time, Lu Yao was almost at the Hidden Moon Sect.

He had already encountered several groups of cultivators from the seven major sects, all of whom were ordered to go to Jin Gu Yuan to resist the demonic path, which showed how tragic the situation was at the front.

Every day, Foundation Establishment disciples perish, not to mention those in the Qi Refining stage.

Jingu Plain has become a meat grinder, inspiring both fear and excitement.

Fear is the extremely high mortality rate that makes people hesitate.

But danger also comes with opportunity. The seven major sects offered generous rewards to encourage cultivators to risk their lives.

The spoils from killing demonic cultivators do not need to be handed over, and the sect will even give rewards.

Killing a Foundation Establishment stage demonic disciple will reward you with a top-grade magic weapon; killing twenty late-stage Qi Refining stage disciples will reward you with a Foundation Establishment Pill.

The more you kill, the richer the sect's rewards will be, even for independent cultivators.

This led to many independent cultivators in the Yue Kingdom also participating in the war between the righteous and the demonic.

With Nascent Soul cultivators not intervening, the battle between the righteous and demonic paths is extremely fierce, and no victor can be determined in a short time; it's all about who has the strongest foundation and resources.

Lu Yao was spared direct conscription to Jingu Plain only because he possessed the token of a disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect.

I should have known that those who were conscripted and those who were sent as support from the sect would receive different treatment.

The battlefield of Jinguyuan was divided into seven lines of defense, each guarded by one of the seven major factions.

If Lu Yao is conscripted, he will have to follow orders in everything he does, which will severely restrict his freedom.

However, those sent from sects usually have positions and are not so easily used as cannon fodder.

As soon as Lu Yao returned to the Hidden Moon Sect, he was immediately summoned to the Sect Leader's Hall.

"The sect already knows about the Yan family's defection. You had no choice but to flee to escape the Yan family's pursuit, which the sect naturally understands."

After listening to Lu Yao's report, Ni Chang nodded in agreement.

She was quite satisfied with Lu Yao as her disciple.
