The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

"It's you!"

Elder Meng's expression changed as he looked at Lu Yao, who was standing in mid-air, and he was greatly alarmed.

"Thunder Prison Barrier!"

Lu Yao had no time for idle talk and immediately began to attack.

A massive thunder array unfolded, directly enveloping Elder Meng within it.

"Damn it! You surnamed Lu, are you really going to wipe us all out?!"

Elder Meng sensed the magical fluctuations of the Thunder Prison Barrier, and his heart sank. He stared at Lu Yao with a fierce but weak expression.

"die!"

Lu Yao snorted coldly, and the entire Thunder Prison Barrier flashed with lightning. Countless lightning chains crashed down, wrapping around Elder Meng.

"My lifespan is nearing its end! What is there to fear in death? But even in death, I will not let you have an easy time!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Elder Meng's eyes, and his magical power surged, producing a blue pearl in his hand.

"Lilong Pearl! Kill!"

Elder Meng roared, and the pearl burst into light, causing the entire sea to surge violently.

"boom!"

One after another, water dragons formed from seawater soared into the air, heading towards the lightning chains falling from the sky.

Thunder and seawater clashed, and the seawater evaporated, forming thick fog.

"Roar!"

Upon hearing a dragon's roar, a lifelike water dragon burst through the mist and lunged at Lu Yao.

"Green Radiance Sword!"

Lu Yao remained calm as a streak of green light pierced the sky, instantly penetrating the roaring water dragon and hurtling towards Elder Meng with undiminished power.

"what!"

Elder Meng's expression changed drastically when he saw the water dragon, pierced by the Green Radiance Sword, gradually dissipate.

With a change of incantation, the Lilong Pearl, which was floating in front of Elder Meng, suddenly emitted fluctuations, and a water escape technique condensed in front of him.

"call out!"

With a soft sound, the water escape technique was easily broken through by the Green Emperor Sword, which pierced directly through his chest.

Lu Yao's cultivation has now reached the late stage of Core Formation. With the full activation of his magic weapon, how could Elder Meng, a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation, possibly withstand him?

"You! You! Let's die together!"

Elder Meng coughed up blood, staring at Lu Yao in disbelief, and then prepared to self-destruct his golden core.

"Thunder Armor!"

Lu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a lightning armor immediately appeared in front of him.

The power of a Core Formation cultivator's self-destruction should not be underestimated, so Lu Yao naturally wouldn't try to withstand it head-on.

Elder Meng appeared resolute, but his actions made Lu Yao's lips twitch.

Elder Meng shouted and immediately used a teleportation technique to escape.

"Really..."

Lu Yao was speechless. He thought Elder Meng was a man of principle, but it turned out he was just all talk.

"Spirit Ghost, seize him."

Lu Yao activated the skull scepter, and thick black mist filled the air as a spirit swiftly reached out to grab Elder Meng.

At the same time, Lu Yao controlled the Thunder Prison Barrier, and countless bolts of lightning fell, forcing Elder Meng to stop in his tracks.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, spare my life! I am willing to submit to you and serve you. Please forgive me."

Elder Meng's face turned grim. As the ghost behind him drew closer, despair filled his eyes, and he immediately began to beg for mercy.

Although his lifespan was nearing its end, he didn't want to die now.

The closer he got to the end of his life, the more afraid he became of death.

However, Lu Yao's expression did not change at all; instead, the Green Radiance Sword attacked again.

"what!"

This time, Elder Meng's head was pierced by the Green Radiance Sword, and even his soul was pulled out by the spirit ghost.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

The ghost let out a strange laugh and devoured Elder Meng's soul, a look of satisfaction on its face.

Seeing that the spirit had become even stronger after devouring Elder Meng's soul, he couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yao put away Elder Meng's storage bag and the Li Long Pearl magic weapon.

A quick scan with his divine sense revealed, as expected, another penniless fellow with just over two thousand spirit stones and some miscellaneous items such as cultivation techniques and secret manuals.

However, there were also some longevity pills and spiritual items in the storage bag, all of them very ordinary.

But these things are still not cheap; this old ghost probably exchanged most of his resources for these things.

"Haotian Pearl! Appraisal!"

Item: Dragon Ball

Grade: Initial stage of Xuan level (magic weapon)

Features: Water control

Description: Forged primarily with the essence of water veins and supplemented with numerous water-attribute spiritual objects, it can save 20% of mana in battles in water.

It's a decent water-attribute magic weapon, probably Elder Meng's natal magic weapon. It's a pity that it ended up benefiting Lu Yao.

Lu Yao possesses an ice spirit root, so this magic weapon is quite suitable for him. It can be considered a magic weapon that is relatively compatible with his spirit root attribute.

After disposing of Elder Meng's body, Lu Yao returned to the Miaoyin Sect.

After summoning Fan Jingmei, Lu Yao began to explain his experience in Foundation Establishment cultivation to her, and also gave her some cultivation resources.

Lu Yao plans to train Fan Jingmei to be his spokesperson within the Miaoyin Sect.

If the opportunity arises in the future, I may also take control of the Miaoyin Sect.

A few days later, Lu Yao attended a banquet hosted by the Miaoyin Sect.

The main purpose of this banquet was to introduce Lu Yao, the guest elder, to the disciples of the Miaoyin Sect.

Upon hearing that Lu Yao was a high-level cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Miaoyin Sect were extremely excited.

After all, the addition of a late-stage Core Formation expert to the sect means that their Myriad Sounds Sect has become a top-tier sect among Nascent Soul level sects.

I'll have more confidence when I travel through the chaotic starry sea in the future.

"Sect Master, I am planning to refine a magic weapon, but I am still missing a spiritual object. I would like to ask the Sect Master and the elders to keep an eye out for one. I will reward you handsomely."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was quite good, Lu Yao had an idea and spoke up.

"Oh? What kind of spiritual item does Elder Lu require?"

Zhou Yuan murmured softly, then asked with a smile.

Helping to keep an eye out for spirits was a small matter, so she naturally didn't say much.

"Thunder Bamboo".

Lu Yao chuckled and revealed his goal.

"Thunder Bamboo? This stuff is hard to find. I heard it's extinct in the Chaotic Star Sea. It's probably only possible to find it in the outer sea."

Elder Qingyi thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"There is a withered Heavenly Thunder Bamboo in the sect's treasure vault, but it's probably not suitable for refining magic weapons."

Wang Heng frowned, suddenly remembering that there was still a section of withered Heavenly Thunder Bamboo in the sect's treasure vault.

"Oh? There's even a piece of withered bamboo. I wonder if I could exchange it for it? If I really can't find any other Thunder Bamboo of better quality, then I'll have to use this withered bamboo."

Lu Yao's heart stirred; the withered bamboo was indeed at the Miaoyin Sect, but he still showed a look of regret on his face.

"It's just a mere spiritual object. Fellow Daoist Lu, since you are an elder of our sect, we will hand over this withered Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to you."

Zhou Yuan smiled. A section of withered Thunder Bamboo isn't actually very valuable; it's barely enough to refine a magic weapon. There are many spiritual materials that can replace it, but Thunder Bamboo is quite rare. Giving it to Lu Yao wouldn't make much difference.

"Then thank you very much, Sect Master."

Lu Yao smiled and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Zhou Yuan.

"Elder Lu, you're too kind."

Zhou Yuan smiled gently and said it without any concern.
