The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Now that all the materials are ready, Lu Yao can finally begin refining his natal magic weapon.

A cultivator's natal magic weapon is extremely important; the more powerful and wondrous the magic weapon, the more it can enhance the cultivator's combat strength.

Lu Yao currently possesses several magical treasures, but apart from one or two high-quality ones, the rest are ordinary and can only be used as a last resort.

The most important thing facing Lu Yao now is to refine his natal magic weapon; even the matter of condensing his nascent soul power has to take a backseat.

After all, the process of condensing magical power from the late stage of Core Formation to the early stage of Nascent Soul is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it would take at least a year and a half.

The main reason is that the pills that can calm the Nascent Soul's power are too precious. Lu Yao doesn't have any, and they are also rare in the Chaotic Star Sea market. Even if they were available, they wouldn't be released to the public; they would have already been divided up by some Nascent Soul elders.

Therefore, Lu Yao could only rely on pills like the Zengyuan Pill, which are at the Core Formation level, to condense his magical power, which was a slower process.

After explaining things to Han Li and Fan Jingmei, he planned to begin his seclusion to refine his natal magic weapon.

Han Li naturally wouldn't stay at the Miaoyin Sect forever. Now that the matter was settled, he needed to go and work towards his own Core Formation opportunity.

Inside the cave, Lu Yao took out his natal magic weapon's refining method.

Lu Yao designed a gourd-shaped magic weapon for himself, which he named the Seven Profound Thunder Sword Gourd.

Based on the Ice Jade Gourd, seven flying swords were condensed from spiritual objects of seven different attributes and contained within the gourd. Once activated, they would be an earth-shattering opportunity.

Two months later, Lu Yao looked at the gourd and seven flying swords of different colors floating in the air, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

These eight items all exude the aura of magical treasures, and their energy is indeed interconnected, making them a set of matching magical treasures.

"Haotian Pearl! Appraisal!"

Item: Seven-Mysterious Thunder Sword Gourd

Grade: High-grade Xuan level (Magic Treasure)

Description: Forged from dozens of spiritual materials, the seven flying swords possess the attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, and lightning, each with its own divine power.

Its grade reached the upper-grade of the Xuan level, which is unique among all the magic treasures in Lu Yao's possession, demonstrating its power.

Lu Yao's face showed satisfaction. His painstaking efforts to collect spiritual materials had finally paid off, and he had successfully refined the item.

With a thought, Lu Yao sent seven flying swords into the white jade gourd, where they were absorbed into his body.

During the refining process, Lu Yao had already used his natal magic to refine this magic weapon, and it was already able to be absorbed into his body for nurturing.

Under Lu Yao's mental perception, he saw the Seven Profound Thunder Sword Gourd sitting calmly beside his nascent soul, emitting a faint spiritual light.

Now that the natal magic weapon has been completed, it's time to put the matter of condensing magical power on the agenda.

He still had more than a dozen bottles of premium Zengyuan Pills and Haoyuan Pills, which were clearly not enough for him to condense his magic power to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

However, having completed his journey through the secret realm, Lu Yao possessed a considerable number of demon cores, so he naturally wouldn't be troubled by the issue of pills.

Soon Lu Yao began to take pills and refine them. He would not leave until he had condensed his magic power to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Before we knew it, more than a year had passed.

Lu Yao opened his eyes in the cave, and his aura had changed slightly.

When ordinary cultivators break through a realm, they will experience unstable aura, but Lu Yao's cultivation was enhanced by the Haotian Pearl, so there was no sign of instability.

Therefore, under Lu Yao's concealment technique, not a trace of his aura was revealed. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator were right in front of him, they would not be able to discern his true cultivation level unless they had cultivated powerful divine sense techniques.

Lu Yao stood up. After more than a year of seclusion, it was time to come out.

When Lu Yao stepped out of the cave, he noticed that the atmosphere of the entire Miaoyin Sect was somewhat off.

This was something that Lu Yao's powerful divine sense naturally detected.

Lu Yao frowned slightly, and his divine sense instantly swept across the entire Miaoyin Sect.

They quickly located Fan Jingmei's whereabouts.

His figure then disappeared from Wanghai Peak.

……

In the main hall of the Miaoyin Sect, Qingyao Zengzheng looked shocked and somewhat ugly as she stared at the man in front of her.

"How could this be? Sect Leader Zhou and Elder Wang just met with misfortune, and now the Star Palace is sending people to take over my Wonderful Sound Sect?"

A flash of anger crossed Elder Qingyi's eyes; she was extremely disgusted by the Star Palace's actions.

The Myriad Sounds Sect is only close to the Star Palace, not a subordinate sect. The fact that the Star Palace sent a Core Formation cultivator to serve as an elder after a major incident occurred within the sect is truly disheartening.

"Elder Qingyi, you are mistaken. Sect Master Zhou and Elder Wang met with misfortune and were assassinated by the demonic villains. My Star Palace is on good terms with the Myriad Sounds Sect, so naturally we cannot stand idly by. Moreover, I was only appointed as an elder to assist the new sect master. How can you say that I took over?"

The man opposite Elder Qingyi had a calm expression, but a smug look flashed in his eyes.

He was originally a Core Formation cultivator from the Star Palace, but was suddenly sent by the elders of the Star Palace to the Myriad Sounds Sect as a guest elder, tasked with assisting the new sect leader and secretly taking control of the Myriad Sounds Sect.

This is a lucrative position! With the Star Palace backing him up, he can enjoy all the resources of the Myriad Sounds Sect. Although he can't go too far, it's enough to tempt Zhao Zheng.

Moreover, the new sect leader is Zhou Yuan and Wang's orphaned daughter, and is still a young girl, so she is naturally very easy to control. It's just that the Core Formation Elder in front of them is not easy to deal with.

However, Zhao Zheng was not afraid. If Qingyi resisted stubbornly, he would naturally find a way to make her leave Miaoyin Sect.

"you!"

Elder Qingyi was furious. He and Zhou Yuan were friends for many years, and now that he saw the sect's foundation about to be occupied by the Star Palace, how could he not be angry?

However, she also knew that the Star Palace was powerful and beyond the reach of a Core Formation cultivator like herself.

Just then, a figure appeared in the main hall, but neither Zhao Zheng nor Qingyi noticed.

"What happened to Sect Leader Zhou and Elder Wang?"

The sudden sound startled Zhao Zheng and Qingyi, and they were slightly alarmed to find that someone had gotten so close to them without them noticing.

"Elder Lu! You've finished your seclusion?"

When Qingyi saw the person who came, she was delighted and quickly stood up.

Even when such a major change occurred at the Miaoyin Sect, Qingyi did not disturb Lu Yao during his previous seclusion.

After all, seclusion is not a game. If Lu Yao's cultivation is disturbed without cause, and something really happens, it could lead to enmity.

"As soon as I came out of seclusion, I sensed something was wrong with the sect. How could Sect Master Zhou and Elder Wang have perished?"

Lu Yao raised an eyebrow. Could it be that these two were killed by the people from Jiyin Island after all? It really is a matter of timing and fate.

"Sect Leader Zhou and Elder Wang encountered a riot on Kui Xing Island with their young daughter and perished unexpectedly. Only their young daughter escaped with the help of a teleportation artifact."

Qingyi sighed and briefly explained the situation.

Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat. The riot on Kui Xing Island seemed to be a joint effort between Ji Yin Island and Feng Xi, all for the ancient beast under the Demon Suppression Ceremony. Zhou Yuan and Wang Heng had suffered a disaster for no reason.
