The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

"Hmph! If they won't keep me here, there are plenty of other places that will!"

Elder Meng was, after all, a Core Formation cultivator, and being reprimanded and rejected like this made him lose face.

However, he was not yet rational. There were many Core Formation cultivators present, but he was all alone. If a real fight broke out, he would probably suffer a great loss.

Elder Meng gave Lu Yao a cold look before leaping away.

Lu Yao's eyes narrowed slightly. This person's last look was sinister and ruthless; he probably wouldn't let it go so easily.

However, Lu Yao had already placed a mark of the Origin Space on this person, so he could find him at any time to eliminate any future troubles.

"Sect Leader Zhou is truly righteous and a heroine among women."

Lu Yao smiled, and he was also impressed by Zhou Yuan's actions.

However, this woman was still somewhat indecisive. If it were him, he would never have let Elder Meng leave this place.

After all, it would be quite easy for a Core Formation cultivator hiding in the shadows to target the Myriad Sounds Sect.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. You also deserve credit for eliminating this person."

Zhou Yuan's expression softened slightly, and she smiled as she spoke to Lu Yao.

"Fellow Daoist is a high-level cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation. I have been traveling in the Chaotic Star Sea for many years, and I have never heard of your name before, nor do I know which island you cultivate on."

Wang Heng's expression shifted slightly. He and Zhou Yuan had been married for many years, and he quickly understood his wife's thoughts.

"I have been in seclusion in the outer seas for many years, so it is normal that you do not know this."

There are countless islands in the outer sea, and even many treasure lands suitable for cultivation, but those are the territory of demonic beasts, and the danger is considerable.

Lu Yao's ability to establish himself and cultivate in the outer sea immediately drew the attention of the people present.

After all, even Core Formation cultivators like them wouldn't dare to roam recklessly in the outer seas.

"Fellow Daoist's strength is truly admirable."

Wang Heng sighed and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Lu Yao.

"Since you currently have no place to reside and cultivate, why not stay at the Miaoyin Sect as a guest elder?"

Seeing that the time was right, Zhou Yuan directly revealed her plans.

"Oh? To serve as a guest elder? I only intend to rest and recuperate in the Inner Sea for a few years and have no intention of staying for a long time."

Lu Yao smiled inwardly, but didn't show it too obviously, appearing rather embarrassed on the surface.

If you agree too readily, it might arouse suspicion.

"It's alright. The guest elders of our sect are essentially inactive positions. Unless something major happens in the sect, you don't need to worry about any trivial matters."

Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, Zhou Yuan was overjoyed. Since he hadn't refused, it meant there was still a chance.

As for Lu Yao's statement that he could only stay for a few years, that's not a problem. Anyway, all Lu Yao needs to do is lend his name and show himself appropriately.

After Lu Yao left, no one knew his whereabouts.

"Since Sect Leader Zhou has extended such a warm invitation, I will stay at your sect for a while."

Lu Yao pondered for a moment, as if thinking about something, before agreeing to Zhou Yuan's invitation.

"Today is truly a joyous occasion for our sect. With Elder Lu's addition, the strength of our Miaoyin Sect can reach a new level."

Elder Qingyi smiled gently, clapped her hands, and looked at Lu Yao with bright eyes.

She had cultivated to the Core Formation stage but had not yet found a satisfactory Daoist partner. Now it seemed that Lu Yao, who was powerful, young and handsome, perfectly met her standards.

As for Fan Jingmei behind Lu Yao, how could she compare to her?

She was a Core Formation cultivator, far superior to a mere Foundation Establishment female cultivator, and besides, she believed her looks were no less than Fan Jingmei's.

"Not at all. Since I have become an elder of the sect, it is only right that I do my best to help."

Lu Yao raised an eyebrow and glanced at Elder Qingyi with some curiosity. What was wrong with this woman? The way she looked at him was so strange.

Fan Jingmei, who was behind Lu Yao, realized what was happening and looked somewhat saddened, biting her lip involuntarily.

"Fellow Daoist is new to the sect and is not yet familiar with many things, so let Fan Jingmei explain them to Elder Lu."

Zhou Yuan and Qingyi have been friends for many years, so she naturally saw through her thoughts and was happy to see it happen.

Fan Jingmei could only be Lu Yao's concubine at most, after all, her cultivation level was what it was, which was common knowledge in the Chaotic Star Sea.

After all, Daoist partners are meant to help each other and embark on the path to the Great Dao together. If the difference in their cultivation levels is too great, how can they help each other?

As long as Lu Yao and Qing Yi become Daoist partners, there's no worry about not being able to keep Lu Yao at Miaoyin Sect.

"If Fellow Daoist Lu has time, you may come to Tianyun Peak to discuss the Dao with me."

With a gentle look in her eyes, Qingyi handed Lu Yao a token and whispered something to him.

"If I have time, I will definitely go."

Lu Yao was taken aback for a moment, then took the token and said with a smile.

Even if Lu Yao was slow to react, he eventually realized what was happening; after all, he was no longer a naive young man.

However, he was afraid he would have to disappoint Elder Qingyi's good intentions. Although Qingyi was very beautiful and could be ranked among the top women he had ever seen, he did not come to Miaoyin Sect to enjoy being surrounded by beautiful women.

……

Although Miaoyin Sect is located on an island, the island is also filled with intersecting peaks, the tallest of which is naturally the Taoist temple of Zhou Yuan and Wang Heng.

Lu Yao, on the other hand, was on a green peak not far away, called Wanghai Peak.

Several pavilions and towers have been built on Wanghai Peak, and many servants from Miaoyin Sect are responsible for cleaning and managing them.

After Fan Jingmei brought Lu Yao to Wanghai Peak, she looked at Lu Yao in front of her and hesitated for a moment.

"What? You have something to say to me?"

Lu Yao turned around and saw Fan Jingmei's expression, then smiled and said.

"Elder Lu, Jingmei wants to follow you..."

Fan Jingmei's pretty face flushed slightly, her words revealing her true feelings.

She didn't dare to hope to become Lu Yao's Daoist partner; she would be content as long as she could stay by Lu Yao's side.

"Calling me Elder Lu is too vulgar. Please just call me Young Master Lu."

Lu Yao smiled and gently pinched Fan Jingmei's delicate nose.

"Pfft~ Jingmei thanks you, young master."

Fan Jingmei was overjoyed and couldn't help but smile.

Lu Yao then showed Fan Jingmei around Wanghai Peak, and after entrusting her with its management, he left Miaoyin Sect.

Lu Yao's figure hovered over the sea, his expression slightly cold.

Those who offend Lu Yao are only safe from death.

Many of those close to Lu Yao are not very strong, and if they try to take advantage of him while he is away, they will regret it.

Therefore, Lu Yao habitually nipped this possibility in the bud.

After sensing the surroundings, Lu Yao's figure vanished from the sea.

……

"Hmph! To treat me like this, I will make that bitch Zhou Yuan pay the price!"

"And that kid, so what if he's in the late Core Formation stage? I'll gather a few friends to ambush him and see how tough he really is!"

Elder Meng, who was resting on an island, had a gloomy expression, and the resentment in his eyes was undisguised.

"You'll soon find out how amazing it is."

Just as Elder Meng was about to continue his journey to his friend's sect, a familiar voice rang in his ears, startling him.
