The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Outside the forbidden area, Lu Yao continued to practice his swordsmanship on Granny Sun's usual route, only this time without Yu Feng as his sparring partner.

"Boy, tell me, what are your intentions in waiting for me here every time?"

Grandma Sun looked at Lu Yao's figure and felt happy. She came to Lu Yao's side and said with a smile.

"Grandma Sun found out."

Lu Yao smiled sheepishly, grinning foolishly.

"Hmph! When your mother-in-law was roaming the world, you weren't even born yet. You think you can fool me with such a little trick?"

Grandma Sun snorted and said with a smug look on her face.

"Please forgive me, Grandma. My parents passed away when I was young, and my grandmother raised me. Now she has also passed away. Every time I see you, Grandma, I can't help but think of her."

Lu Yao's eyes reddened, and he suddenly became very depressed.

Lu Yao was telling the truth in the first half of his statement; he did not deceive Granny Sun.

Grandma Sun was taken aback when she heard Lu Yao's words. She hadn't expected that this was the reason. Her eyes filled with pity and kindness as she looked at Lu Yao.

"Oh, what a good child."

Grandma Sun sighed, feeling great sympathy for Lu Yao's plight.

"Come on, child, Grandma will get you some good food."

Grandma Sun looked kind and patted Lu Yao on the shoulder.

Lu Yao was taken aback. Was this an invitation to enter the ancient tomb?

Lu Yao remembered that the Ancient Tomb Sect was a place where men were forbidden from entering because it was entirely composed of women.

Lu Yao was in a daze when he suddenly felt his body lift into the air.

However, seeing that Lu Yao did not speak, Granny Sun assumed that Lu Yao was embarrassed, so she picked him up and used her lightness skill to fly towards the ancient tomb.

Seeing this, Lu Yao let things take their course.

Soon, Granny Sun led Lu Yao to the entrance of the ancient tomb.

What came into Lu Yao's view was a huge tomb entrance, with a tombstone in front of it.

"This looks a bit creepy. These women from the Ancient Tomb Sect are really brave."

Lu Yao couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

Granny Sun gave Lu Yao some instructions, then used her lightness skill to reach the entrance of the tomb.

"Young lady, I have returned. Please open the tomb door."

Granny Sun used her inner strength to shout into the tomb.

Lu Yao was also very curious when he saw this, as the tomb door could only be opened from the inside.

Soon after Granny Sun called out, the sound of a mechanism turning came from inside the tomb.

As the tomb door opened, a white figure flew out of the tomb.

"Grandma's back."

Little Dragon Girl landed in front of Granny Sun, her aloof temperament emanating from within, and her tone of voice as calm as still water.

Lu Yao, who saw Xiaolongnu from a distance, couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The Little Dragon Girl exuded a cool and mysterious aura. She wore a long, snow-white dress, and her skin was as smooth and delicate as mutton fat jade, and as bright and flawless as the cold moon.

As expected of the cold goddess who captivated a group of martial arts masters, Zhen Zhibing and Gongsun Zhi's deaths were not unjust.

"Miss Lao, you've been thinking of me."

Grandma Sun smiled kindly. Little Dragon Girl had been raised by him since childhood, and the two had a very deep relationship. Although they addressed each other as master and servant, they were as close as grandmother and granddaughter.

“Grandma should know the rules of the Ancient Tomb Sect: men are not allowed to enter.”

Little Dragon Girl glanced at Lu Yao and said in a cool and indifferent tone.

"Don't worry, young lady, I know. It's just that this child has had a very difficult life. I just wanted to give him some Jade Peak Elixir."

Granny Sun nodded and explained to Little Dragon Girl.

"In that case, Mother-in-law, please make the arrangements yourself."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu said nothing more. She handed Granny Sun a few bottles of jade bee jelly, then turned and flew into the Tomb of the Living Dead.

Xiaolongnu was by nature aloof and didn't care much about such trivial matters.

After seeing Xiaolongnu leave, Granny Sun came to Lu Yao's side.

"Grandma, who was that young lady just now?"

Lu Yao looked at Granny Sun with a curious expression.

“That is the owner of this Tomb of the Living Dead, Miss Long, and this jade honey is hers.”

Grandma Sun smiled and handed the jade bee jelly to Lu Yao.

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

After accepting the jade bee jelly, Lu Yao thanked Granny Sun.

“You’ve been on duty here on the back mountain for a long time, so you’re bound to encounter jade bees. If you get stung, use this to detoxify, or you can use it to satisfy your craving.”

Grandma Sun looked at Lu Yao with a kind smile.

Hearing Granny Sun's words, Lu Yao couldn't help but feel a little warm inside.

Grandma Sun is indeed a very kind old woman.

This made Lu Yao feel a little guilty, and he could only repay this kindness in the future.

After saying goodbye to Granny Sun, Lu Yao returned to his disciples' dormitory as it was getting late.

In the following months, Lu Yao and Granny Sun's relationship grew better and better, and Granny Sun entrusted Lu Yao with the task of going down the mountain to buy supplies.

Lu Yao also took this opportunity to enter the Tomb of the Living Dead several times, but he came out quickly each time and did not see Xiaolongnu.

After all, the rules of the ancient tomb are there, and allowing Lu Yao to enter briefly already shows a great deal of trust in him.

......

"Miss Long, please leave the things here. I won't stay any longer."

Lu Yao placed some of the ingredients he had purchased in a stone chamber in the ancient tomb and spoke to Xiaolongnu beside him.

Since Granny Sun wasn't in the Tomb of the Living Dead this time, it was Little Dragon Girl who brought Lu Yao in to prevent him from getting lost.

The Tomb of the Living Dead is quite large, with intricate passageways and numerous traps; wandering around recklessly would be extremely dangerous.

"Okay, I'll take you out."

Xiaolongnu spoke softly, her cool tone revealing no emotional fluctuation.

Xiaolongnu secretly glanced at Lu Yao a few times. She felt that Lu Yao was different from those Taoists of the Quanzhen Sect, but she couldn't put her finger on why.

"What's your name?"

The little dragon girl leading the way suddenly asked, but did not stop walking.

Lu Yao was taken aback, looking at Xiaolongnu's back with some puzzlement.

"My name is Lu Yao."

Although he didn't know what Xiaolongnu was thinking, Lu Yao still answered her question.

Xiaolongnu didn't say anything more and led Lu Yao out of the Tomb of the Living Dead.

After leaving the Tomb of the Living Dead, Lu Yao continued his search for the ancient tomb and pool.

There are many pools of water on the back mountain, and Lu Yao has to go into the water to explore them each time to determine which one is the best, which takes a lot of time.

More than three months have passed now, and it still hasn't been found.

a few days later.

A figure emerged from a mountain stream pool; it was Lu Yao, who had been searching for the pool.

"We've finally found this place."

Lu Yao used his vital energy to evaporate the pool water on his body, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

After searching for several months, my efforts finally paid off.

He had already gone underwater to investigate, and there was indeed an underwater passage.

However, it was already late, and Lu Yao could not stay here for too long, lest the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect think that something had happened to him in the back mountain and send people to look for him. He had no choice but to come here again tomorrow.

After marking the spot by the pool, Lu Yao returned to his disciples' dormitory.
