The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

At the foot of Mount Hua, a slight warmth rises, but no snow falls.

When Lu Yao arrived at the foot of the mountain, there were still some snow and frost on his dark blue robe.

However, Lu Yao descended the mountain too quickly, and the ice and snow clinging to his body had not yet melted.

Lu Yao's body surged with true energy, and the snow on his robes evaporated instantly, leaving his clothes clean and dry.

"call out!"

Lu Yao channeled his inner energy, and a whistle rang out, gradually carrying into the distance.

After a while.

"Wow!"

A howling sound rang out; it was the giant eagle that had flown over in response to Lu Yao's call.

"It's time to go find the Nine Yang Divine Skill."

Lu Yao rode on the back of the giant eagle, thinking to himself.

The Nine Yang Divine Skill, a divine martial art on par with the Nine Yin Manual, is also an astonishing martial art, possessing the miraculous effects of generating internal energy, healing injuries, and avoiding poison.

This peerless manual is now hidden in the Shaolin Temple's library, covered in dust and undiscovered.

In the original story, he was discovered and trained by Master Jueyuan, and he overpowered the new generation of Five Great Masters.

"This martial arts manual should be the easiest to obtain."

Lu Yao chuckled and directed the giant eagle toward Shaolin.

......

Shaolin Temple is located in the famous Songshan Mountain. It is one of the most profound martial arts schools and has produced many masters.

In front of the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song, Lu Yao, dressed like a wealthy young man, walked into the temple.

Since it was inconvenient for the giant eagle to show itself, Lu Yao temporarily released it back into the mountains and forests, and then went to Shaolin Temple alone.

"Does this benefactor wish to offer incense and make a wish?"

A young novice monk received Lu Yao.

“My family member has been unwell these past few days, so I have come to pray for him.”

Lu Yao nodded and casually made up an excuse.

"Your filial piety has moved Heaven. Surely your family members will be free from disaster and illness and recover soon."

The young novice monk had clearly received many filial people like Lu Yao, and his words were always tactful and discreet.

The young novice monk led Lu Yao into the Buddhist hall and handed him three sticks of incense.

Lu Yao also took the opportunity to look around the main hall of Shaolin Temple.

Inside the main hall were numerous Buddha statues, all adorned with gold leaf.

Surrounded by incense and the sound of chanting, the Buddha statue appeared even more compassionate and solemn.

After offering incense and candles, Lu Yao approached the young novice monk.

"Young monk, I would also like to copy Buddhist scriptures in the temple to pray for my family. Please grant me permission."

Lu Yao looked at the young novice with a worried expression and revealed his purpose.

“It is commendable to show filial piety, but it is against the rules of this temple.”

The young novice monk sighed at Lu Yao's filial piety, but shook his head.

"I would like to donate some incense money to Buddha to show my sincerity. How about five hundred taels?"

When Lu Yao saw that the young novice monk refused, he directly used the Money Technique.

"Even if you were to donate... um? How much?"

The young novice monk instinctively wanted to refuse, but didn't react immediately. When he heard the number Lu Yao mentioned, he looked at Lu Yao in surprise.

Similar things have happened before, but they were always donations of a few dozen taels of silver.

Shaolin Temple didn't care about such a small amount of money, so they naturally refused.

But Lu Yao immediately offered five hundred taels, which made the young novice monk hesitate.

But this is clearly beyond his control.

"Please wait a moment, benefactor, while I go and consult with my superiors."

The young novice monk bowed to Lu Yao and then turned to ask for instructions.

A moment later, the young novice returned, followed by a senior monk.

“Esteemed benefactor, please follow me to copy Buddhist scriptures.”

The head monk performed a Buddhist salute and smiled as he led the way for Lu Yao.

"Money really does work."

Lu Yao chuckled inwardly, marveling at the allure of money, which even Buddhist monks couldn't resist.

Five hundred taels is a lot, but not too much either. Any more would arouse the monks' suspicion. This amount is just right.

Because the original scriptures of Shaolin Temple are kept in the Sutra Repository, we can only take Lu Yao there.

After all, Lu Yao had donated money for incense offerings, so it wouldn't make sense to ask for a copy.

Moreover, Shaolin is a martial arts sect, so as long as it's not a matter of copying Shaolin martial arts, it's not a big deal.

Led by the abbot, Lu Yao arrived at the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Repository.

What came into Lu Yao's view was a five-story pagoda-style pavilion, with a plaque above the main entrance bearing the three large characters "Scripture Repository".

"Come on, benefactor, the library contains 30,000 volumes of Buddhist scriptures, which you may copy at will."

The abbot chuckled and spoke with pride about the number of Buddhist scriptures in the library.

"Thank you, Master."

Lu Yao smiled and cupped his hands in greeting before following the head monk into the Sutra Repository.

“Uncle Jueyuan, this benefactor has come to copy Buddhist scriptures. Please take care of him.”

The senior monk spoke respectfully to a gray-robed monk inside the scripture pavilion.

"understood."

Monk Jueyuan's lips moved slightly, but his eyes remained closed, and he maintained his meditative posture.

The senior monk stopped disturbing Jueyuan and led Lu Yao to the depths of the first floor of the Sutra Repository.

"You may browse through the Buddhist scriptures you wish to copy, but please remember not to damage these scriptures, nor go up to the second floor."

The head monk pointed to the scriptures on the first floor and warned Lu Yao in a low voice.

The first floor of the Sutra Repository contained ordinary Buddhist scriptures and scrolls, which Lu Yao could easily browse and copy.

However, the second floor and above contains all kinds of martial arts collected by Shaolin, which is the essence of Shaolin.

Of course, ultimate techniques like the Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Skill and the Immovable King Sutra are absolutely impossible to find here.

“There is a desk and candlesticks over there; you may copy texts there.”

The senior monk led Lu Yao to a table and said...

"Thank you, Master."

Lu Yao nodded, indicating that he understood.

"I suppose you won't be going down the mountain tonight. The temple has already arranged guest rooms. You can have a novice monk take you there after you're done."

The head monk looked out the window and informed Lu Yao of the arrangements.

"I am very satisfied with the arrangements made at the temple. Thank you."

Lu Yao smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

The senior monk stopped bothering Lu Yao, performed a Buddhist salute, and then turned and left.

"Finally clean."

Lu Yao let out a soft breath, thinking to himself.

Lu Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and he began to peruse the Buddhist scriptures on the first floor.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Lu Yao patiently perused the Buddhist scriptures, seemingly without any particular purpose.

An hour later.

"The Lankavatara Sutra! It has been found."

Looking at the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, Lu Yao felt a surge of joy.

Holding the Lankavatara Sutra, Lu Yao remained calm as he placed it on the table along with several other Buddhist scriptures.

Meanwhile, not far away, Jueyuan had been hiding to the side, watching Lu Yao closely.

Jueyuan, who was able to become a librarian, was no ordinary person. His meticulousness and patience were the main factors that led to his assignment to guard the library.

"should be no problem."

After observing Lu Yao for a while, Jueyuan gave his judgment.

He then silently returned to his meditation cushion and continued meditating.

"have they gone?"

Lu Yao smiled inwardly. His senses were so powerful that he naturally discovered Jueyuan, who was monitoring him.

Lu Yao slowly opened the Lankavatara Sutra, showing no interest whatsoever in the text.

As Lu Yao gently stroked the pages of the Lankavatara Sutra, he indeed discovered something unusual through careful perception.

"There's a hidden compartment!"

Lu Yao's lips curled slightly. He gently sliced ​​open the interlayer with his sword energy, and with a light touch of his palm, he put the foreign object inside into his storage space.

After succeeding, Lu Yao gently wiped away the gaps created by the sword energy, restoring the Lankavatara Sutra to its original state.

Lu Yao then began copying the scriptures until the serene moonlight shone on his desk, at which point he returned to his guest room at Shaolin Temple.
