Myth Beyond Heaven

Nearby the waterfall, Yun Chenyu sat in a pavilion, staring blankly at the rusty knife that was supposed to be her parent’s. She thought she could find a clue about her parents in the Boundless Desert, but nothing could be found in the end.

What made her down the most was that her parents might have been killed by the Boundless Desert Emperor already. Even though there was no way to confirm this, she didn’t think there was a tiny chance of her parents being alive.

Yun Lintian looked at the scene and sighed inwardly. He had already issued a task for his Cloud Shadow team to search for her parents’ clue but found nothing so far.

According to the information he got, there was a well-known family that had a reputation for the alchemy art on the Central Continent. This family was led by an old man surnamed Ling. He was a high-level spirit doctor and proficient in all alchemy arts.

The Myriad Pill Palace wanted to recruit him and his family in, but the Old Man Ling didn’t want to work for them as they forced him to stop treating ordinary people. In the end, the Myriad Pill Palace used force to push them to the corner, which was the end of this family.

If there was no mistake, Yun Chenyu should be his descendant.

Yun Lintian walked into the pavilion and sat beside her, looking at the waterfall without saying anything.

A while later, Yun Chenyu noticed Yun Lintian’s presence and quickly got up. “Master.”

Yun Lintian smiled and beckoned her to sit down. “Feel better?”

Yun Chenyu lowered her head slightly and said. “Yes.”

Yun Lintian sighed and asked. “Is your surname Ling?” 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑜𝑟𝘨

Yun Chenyu raised her head to look at Yun Lintian and became hesitant.

Yun Lintian said further. “I have already told our people to look for your parents. There should be a clue soon. It’s not that I want to give you false hope, but if there is a tiny chance of your parents being alive, you should not give up.”

Yun Chenyu remained silent, appearing not convinced. However, she still said. “Thank you, Master.”

“And since you can’t do anything now, you should focus on training. Once you have enough strength, you can avenge them by yourself.” Yun Lintian said. “You’re my first disciple. No matter who the enemy is, just remember that you have me. If you can’t do it, I will do it for you.”

Yun Chenyu trembled slightly upon hearing this, and her eyes gradually became determined. She looked at Yun Lintian and said firmly. “I understand, Master. I don’t know if they are still alive, but one thing that I know at this moment is that I have to avenge my family… And I want to do it by myself.”

“Good.” Yun Lintian smiled. “Come with me. I will personally teach you today.”

“Yes.” Yun Chenyu nodded heavily and followed Yun Lintian toward a training ground.

“Congratulations, young mortal, you have passed the trial. As a lowly mortal, you have shocked me greatly. You are truly extraordinary. Your performance within the trial has made me believe that you deserve to inherit my bloodline.” In the cave under the river, the aged voice resounded.

Weilan Tian, who was suffering a serious injury, lay on the ground powerlessly. However, a faint smile could be seen on his face because he had finally passed the trial.

The trial was simple. He had to do one thing that continued to fight until the end against waves of profound beasts. Though he was injured before entering, he could still preserve until the end. It could be seen how talented and powerful he was.

“As I said, if you pass the trial, I will give you a droplet of my blood origin. However, your injury is not light. I will give you a day to recover.” The aged voice rang out.

“Thank you, Lord Azure Dragon.” Weilan Tian said and changed to a sitting posture before closing his eyes, recuperating.

A day passed by very quickly, and Weilan Tian’s injury had recovered more than half. When he opened his eyes, the aged voice immediately resounded. “Before giving you my origin blood, I want to ask you a few questions.”

“Please ask away.” Weilan Tian said respectfully.

“How did you get my bloodline?” The Azure Dragon’s residual soul asked.

“Answering Lord Azure Dragon, my grandfather had fortunately discovered a droplet of the Azure Dragon’s blood not far away from this mythical realm. It was said to be buried deep in the ground. He later used everything he had to refine it.” Weilan Tian replied truthfully.

The lights on the Azure Dragon statue’s eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. The aged voice resounded again. “Looks like your grandfather is very capable… Although I have resided inside this mythical realm, I do not perceive everything happening here. How long has it passed since your grandfather found the blood?”

“It should be more than four thousand years.” Weilan Tian answered according to the founding date of the Azure Palace.

“More than four thousand years… I see.” The Azure Dragon’s residual soul said gently.

“Another question. You were injured before coming here, and the injury was clearly from a sharp weapon. If I’m not mistaken, this place should be exclusive to your faction. Why would they want to kill you?” The aged voice resounded.

Weilan Tian’s face turned solemn as he answered. “It’s because I don’t agree with my grandfather’s instructions. I believe he wants to kill me now.”

“Killing his own descendant?” The voice of the Azure Dragon’s residual soul was calm, but there was a hint of anger in it.

Weilan Tian didn’t seem to notice it as he explained further. “He is an ambitious person. Currently, the world is in his control. Throughout the years, he has been suppressing many forces around the world with various methods, most of which are very vicious. Even though he’s my grandfather, I don’t agree with his vision and the method he used.”

“Now, the world is about to face a calamity. As a leader, instead of letting the other forces grow and help each other to fight the upcoming calamity, he chose to continue suppressing them. I’m afraid millions of people will die this time.”

He raised his head to look at the statue and said firmly. “I know that to walk in the profound path, you must be ruthless and selfish. Still, I cannot accept it.”
