The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Inside the tomb at the water pool.

Lu Yao and Xiaolongnu both arrived at the edge of the pool, and both of them used their true energy to evaporate the pool water from their clothes.

The two of them just stood there, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

"Forget what you just saw! Don't think about it again!"

Just as Lu Yao was about to speak, Xiaolongnu's clear and cold voice came over.

Looking at Xiaolongnu's calm expression, Lu Yao inexplicably sensed a hint of danger.

"Ahem, Miss Long, don't worry, I didn't see anything just now."

Lu Yao scratched his head, and as soon as he spoke, he felt a pang of guilt.

That beautiful scene in my heart will probably stay with me for the rest of my life.

"Humph!"

Xiaolongnu snorted coldly, ignoring Lu Yao, and looked around the tomb chamber.

In fact, in her shame and anger, Xiaolongnu even considered killing Lu Yao.

But over the past few months, Grandma Sun has clearly grown fond of Lu Yao, this younger man, and she herself doesn't find him annoying, so she has put aside this dangerous idea.

Little Dragon Girl carefully examined the tomb chamber; it was indeed built in the style of an ancient tomb.

"This is the martial arts inscribed in the ancient tomb."

Lu Yao pointed to the stone wall above his head and said to Xiaolongnu.

"It's actually the Nine Yin Manual!"

After carefully examining the contents of the stone wall, Xiaolongnu's pretty face showed a look of shock.

As a descendant of Lin Chaoying, Xiaolongnu naturally knew the story of her ancestor and Wang Chongyang, which was also recorded in the Nine Yin Manual.

The words left by Wang Chongyang beside the stone wall also confirm the authenticity of this part of the Nine Yin Manual.

"It was actually left behind by Wang Chongyang in order to decipher the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra of the Patriarch!"

Xiaolongnu was shocked when she saw the words left by Wang Chongyang.

She is currently cultivating the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, so how could her heart not be moved?

“Miss Long, no matter how strong a martial art is, it depends on the person who practices it. There’s no need to worry about it.”

Seeing Xiaolongnu's reaction, Lu Yao spoke up.

"Although the Nine Yin Manual is powerful, my Ancient Tomb Sect's Jade Maiden Heart Sutra is not weak either."

Little Dragon Girl shook her head, not taking the comparison between the two techniques too seriously.

"Have you practiced the martial arts techniques described here?"

Little Dragon Girl turned to Lu Yao and asked.

“Please forgive me, Miss Long. The martial arts I originally learned were the basic techniques of the Quanzhen Sect. Seeing how exquisite these techniques were, I learned this part of the Nine Yin Manual.”

Lu Yao shrugged and explained to Xiaolongnu.

"It's alright. This Nine Yin Manual is not a martial art of my Ancient Tomb Sect. So what if I learned it?"

Little Dragon Girl nodded, not caring that Lu Yao had learned the martial arts on the stone wall.

However, Xiaolongnu's opinion of Lu Yao had changed significantly.

The Nine Yin Manual, a peerless martial art in the world, was so easily shared with her by Lu Yao, which made her look at Lu Yao with new respect.

"There was another tomb passage there, but I was afraid it would involve secrets of the ancient tomb, so I didn't go to check it out."

Lu Yao pointed to a passage in the distance and said to Xiaolongnu.

"Since you discovered it, there's no harm in taking a look."

Little Dragon Girl shook her head. She was very familiar with this ancient tomb and there were no shameful secrets about it.

The two walked through the tomb passage, groping their way forward by the dim light.

Little Dragon Girl arrived at a tomb entrance, carefully examined it, and discovered a mechanism.

As the mechanism turned, the tomb door opened, and the two found themselves inside a stone coffin.

Little Dragon Girl activated her inner energy to open the stone coffin, and leaped up to appear outside it.

"It actually leads to the stone coffin chamber."

Little Dragon Girl was very surprised by the scene outside the stone coffin.

Lu Yao also flew out of the stone coffin and looked around the spirit chamber.

"Does Miss Long know where this is?"

Looking at the layout of the spirit room, Lu Yao had some guesses in his mind and asked Xiaolongnu.

"This is the coffin chamber of my Ancient Tomb Sect. I never expected there to be such a secret passage hidden here."

Little Dragon Girl turned to look at Lu Yao and said softly.

"This secret passage is a closely guarded secret of the Ancient Tomb Sect; you must not reveal it to anyone."

Xiaolongnu frowned and looked at Lu Yao coldly.

"Of course, I will keep my mouth shut."

Lu Yao nodded and assured Xiaolongnu.

Xiaolongnu naturally believed Lu Yao's words, after all, in her heart, Lu Yao was a gentleman.

"Let's go! I'll see you out."

Little Dragon Girl walked to the door of the spirit chamber and whispered to Lu Yao.

Now that the secret passage in the stone coffin was clear, Xiaolongnu naturally decided to see the guests out.

"Has Miss Long been staying in this Tomb of the Living Dead all along?"

Walking through the tomb passage, Lu Yao asked curiously.

"Why are you asking this? I grew up in this ancient tomb since I was a child, so naturally I've always been in this ancient tomb."

Little Dragon Girl looked at Lu Yao with a puzzled expression.

"I was just curious, please don't take offense, Miss Long."

Lu Yao shrugged and said with a smile.

"Weird guy."

Little Dragon Girl whispered a few words.

Outside the Tomb of the Living Dead.

"Miss Long, I've now explored almost the entire ancient tomb. I wonder if I could visit it sometime in the future?"

Lu Yao's heart stirred, and he spoke to Xiaolongnu in a joking tone.

"You cannot stay inside the ancient tomb for an extended period of time; this is a rule of the tomb's rules!"

Xiaolongnu's jade-like nose twitched slightly, directly rejecting Lu Yao.

"Since we can't stay in the ancient tomb for a long time, we can at least have a cup of tea for a short while. Senior Lin Chaoying even invited Taoist Wang Chongyang into the ancient tomb."

Lu Yao smiled and picked up the founders of the two schools as examples.

"Farewell, Miss Long. Goodbye."

Without waiting for Xiaolongnu's reply, Lu Yao cupped his hands in farewell and took his leave.

He immediately activated his Nine Yin True Qi, and in a few flashes, his figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

As Xiaolongnu watched Lu Yao's departing figure, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up slightly.

Perhaps she herself had unknowingly grown accustomed to Lu Yao's presence and humor.

......

Lu Yao, who had just returned to his dormitory, received a very important message.

Guo Jing took Yang Guo up the mountain!

Because Lu Yao was in the back mountain this morning, he did not notice the Quanzhen Sect's movements.

Meanwhile, Prince Khodu of Mongolia also led a group of people to try to go up the back mountain, but they were stopped by the Quanzhen Sect.

When Guo Jing went up the mountain, he was mistaken for Huo Du's group and fought with the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect, causing a big misunderstanding.

It was only after the Seven Masters of Quanzhen intervened that the situation was brought under control.

The news of the duel between the Mongol prince Huo Du and Guo Jing has spread throughout the Quanzhen Sect, and many people are gathering in the main hall.

"What a coincidence."

Lu Yao's eyes flickered slightly. He hadn't expected to run into Huo Du and Guo Jing fighting as soon as he returned.

He also planned to go and see what kind of person Guo Jing, the great hero of the time, really was.

Lu Yao hid among the Quanzhen disciples and arrived at the main hall for the competition.

At this point, the two sides had already started fighting.

Huo Du made the first move, his figure as elusive as a ghost, waving his folding fan and creating gusts of sharp wind.

Guo Jing remained calm and composed, his steps steady, each movement perfectly avoiding Huo Du's attacks.
