The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Inside the secret training chamber of the ancient tomb.

Lu Yao sat cross-legged on the cold jade bed, cultivating the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

Little Dragon Girl has already taught him the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and now he is using the effects of the Cold Jade Bed to accelerate his cultivation.

Sitting on the cold jade bed, Lu Yao slowly opened his eyes, and the Jade Maiden True Qi gradually calmed down.

"This speed is a bit slow."

Lu Yao silently sensed his cultivation progress and couldn't help but think to himself.

In fact, Lu Yao's cultivation speed was not slow at all. In fact, with the help of his talent and the Cold Jade Bed, his progress was rapid. In the history of the Ancient Tomb Sect, there was no one who cultivated faster than him.

However, Lu Yao had plans for the world of Condor Heroes, so how could he keep practicing in the ancient tomb forever?

"Haotian Pearl! Enhance it!"

Lu Yao no longer hesitated and silently shouted in his heart.

Origin of the World: 60→20

A faint milky-white fluorescence enveloped Lu Yao, and his comprehension of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra quickly reached the peak of the second stage.

The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra has a very special cultivation method. It requires a partner to cultivate together in order to unleash its greatest power.

The Haotian Pearl can also skip this step by using the world's origin, but it will cost additional world origin.

Moreover, Lu Yao's world origin was not enough to complete the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

The world origin required by this Jade Maiden Heart Sutra is still above the Yi Jin Duan Gu chapter of the Nine Yin Manual, after all, the Yi Jin Duan Gu chapter is only a part of the Nine Yin Manual.

Lu Yao closed his eyes again, circulated the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and began to refine his true energy.

Several days later, Lu Yao arrived at the pavilion in the water.

Outside the pavilion, Xiaolongnu sat on a stone platform with an ancient zither in front of her.

Moonlight streamed through the narrow stone opening, bathing her in a silvery glow.

Xiaolongnu gently raised her jade-like hand and gracefully plucked the strings of the zither, the delicate and melodious sound echoing in the air.

"Junior brother, are you not cultivating on the Jade Bed? Is there something you need me for?"

When Xiaolongnu saw Lu Yao, she gently placed her delicate hand, which had been plucking the strings of her zither, on the zither table.

"Senior sister, I have already cultivated the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra to the second level of perfection."

Lu Yao stepped in front of Xiaolongnu and said softly.

"Ok?"

Xiaolongnu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Yao with a shocked expression.

She had only passed on the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra to Lu Yao less than a month ago, but she never expected that Lu Yao would cultivate to such a level so quickly.

According to Xiaolongnu's estimate, it would take Lu Yao at least half a year to reach the second level.

Little Dragon Girl has only reached this level of cultivation, but because of her many years of cultivation and the Cold Jade Bed, her true energy is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Xiaolongnu's current strength is similar to that of Huang Rong and Jinlun Fawang, and she is not at a disadvantage against the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

Although Xiaolongnu believed that Lu Yao would not lie to her, she still unconsciously came to Lu Yao's side and placed her hand on Lu Yao's dantian to sense it.

"He actually cultivated to the second level!"

Xiaolongnu stared at Lu Yao in astonishment, utterly shocked.

"I never expected you to be so talented; I am far inferior to you."

After calming down, Xiaolongnu spoke softly.

"Senior sister, you flatter me. I just feel that the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra is exceptionally smooth to cultivate."

Lu Yao smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

After all, he took a shortcut by directly strengthening himself using the world's origin.

"Junior brother, have you thought this through? The next stage of cultivation requires mutual understanding and interaction of internal energy. If you are not a partner, you may suffer from qi deviation if you are not careful."

Little Dragon Girl blinked at Lu Yao, a slight blush rising on her fair face.

Xiaolongnu didn't know what this feeling was, but she didn't dislike it. In fact, after accepting what she considered to be a token of love, she already regarded Lu Yao as her future partner.

Otherwise, how could Xiaolongnu have recruited Lu Yao into the Ancient Tomb Sect, violating the sect's rules?

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao's heart stirred slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little touched as he looked at Xiaolongnu's slightly flushed face.

"Little Dragon Girl is really naive."

Lu Yao sighed inwardly.

Although it wasn't exactly deception, Xiaolongnu's naivety and trust made Lu Yao feel a slight sense of guilt.

Lu Yao gently took Xiaolongnu's hand and embraced her.

Little Dragon Girl blushed and struggled for a moment, then stopped resisting.

For girls, sometimes actions speak louder than words.

"I will never betray Long'er's heart!"

Lu Yao held Xiaolongnu in his arms and spoke softly and gently.

"Hmm~"

Little Dragon Girl responded softly.

A moment later, Xiaolongnu led Lu Yao to the tomb chamber where Lin Suxin was enshrined.

Standing before Lin Suxin's portrait, she softly recounted how she and Lu Yao had become partners.

This was considered as informing their master of the matter.

The Ancient Tomb Sect has a rule that forbids female disciples from being with men. Li Mochou was expelled from the sect because of Lu Zhanyuan.

Lin Suxin was initially against them being together, but she eventually agreed on the condition that Lu Zhanyuan would never leave Zhongnan Mountain for the rest of his life. After agreeing, Lu Zhanyuan did not return to Li Mochou's side as promised.

Li Mochou was even expelled from her sect in her search for him, but when she finally found Lu Zhanyuan, she discovered that he had already married someone else.

From then on, Li Mochou's personality changed drastically, and she became the "Red Serpent Fairy" who was feared by everyone in the martial arts world.

So although there are rules governing the sect, exceptions have been made before, and now that Xiaolongnu is the leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect, no one is stopping the two of them.

The two lit a few sticks of incense in front of Lin Suxin's portrait, which was considered to establish their relationship.

Both Xiaolongnu and Lu Yao were single, so they had no relatives or friends, making the ceremony very simple.

When Grandma Sun learned that the two had become partners, she was initially surprised but also very happy.

"With Young Master Lu taking care of you from now on, I have no regrets. I will personally go down to the underworld to explain to my master, and I believe he will bless you both."

Grandma Sun looked at Lu Yao and Xiaolongnu with a kind expression and said with a smile.

Granny Sun was also worried that after she passed away, Xiaolongnu would live alone in this cold and lonely ancient tomb.

But now that Lu Yao is with her, Grandma Sun feels much more at ease and comforted.

Grandma Sun prepared a sumptuous meal for the two of them as a celebration.

Yang Guo didn't care about anything else; he just ate heartily.

At night, the cool moonlight shines into the ancient tomb through the light-filled opening.

The pavilion in the water is illuminated by red candles, and the soft, warm light brings a touch of warmth to the cold ancient tomb.

This was Lu Yao's first time entering Xiaolongnu's boudoir. Thanks to Granny Sun's arrangement, some of the decorations in the room had been changed to a festive red.

At the table in the room, Xiaolongnu's face flushed slightly after drinking the nuptial wine.

"Junior brother~"

Little Dragon Girl looked at Lu Yao with dreamy eyes, her cherry-like lips murmuring softly.

After drinking the wine, neither Lu Yao nor Xiaolongnu used their internal energy to expel the alcohol, so they were both somewhat drunk.

"Long'er, let's rest."

Looking at the lovely woman in front of him, Lu Yao felt a flutter in his heart.

Lu Yao gently picked up Xiaolongnu and took a few steps to the bed.

The candlelight in the pavilion went out, leaving only a few heart-stirring whispers.
