Myth Beyond Heaven

In the crowd, Jian Lu frowned in dissatisfaction. “What an arrogant man. How dare he say that to senior sister?”

She was usually calm and composed, but Yun Lintian’s pretentious stance made her unbearable.

Besides her, Jian Xue’s expression turned serious. Unlike Jian Lu, she didn’t think Yun Lintian was arrogant or pretentious, as she could feel a fatal threat from him. It was strange that a genuine Divine King like her was actually afraid of a Divine Spirit Realm’s junior, but her intuition didn’t lie.

“No wonder Ziqi has been paying attention to him all this while.” Jian Xue muttered to herself. At the same time, she glanced at Shen Yan and the others. Except for Ning Yue, everyone seemed to be aware of Yun Lintian’s strength. Without a doubt, he was a real deal.

Meanwhile, Wang Jiacai frowned even more deeper. He turned to look at the old man behind him and asked. “What do you think, First Elder?”

“Unfathomable.” The old man, Wang Hai, answered without hesitation. “Something inside his body gives me a dreadful feeling.”

Wang Jiacai and the other disciples were surprised to hear this. They were aware of how accurate Wang Hai’s judgment was. There shouldn’t be a mistake. Yun Lintian was indeed powerful.

“He really can’t avoid the limelight.” Qin Mei said jokingly.

“It’s his destiny.” Shen Yan said softly.

Tian Hualing glanced at her with a strange expression. She didn’t quite understand what Shen Yan wanted to say.

Jian Ziqi stared at Yun Lintian for a while and said. “Understood.”

As her voice fell, she slowly unsheathed her long sword. The sword gleamed in a deep blue light, releasing an icy aura that made one’s heart chill.

Jian Ziqi slowly pointed her sword at Yun Lintian, and a deep blue glow suddenly appeared around her body. When the bluish light gradually turned thick and somewhat blinding, a large amount of ice spirits winked into existence and danced swiftly around her.

The temperature inside Emerald Palace was dropping at a tremendous rate.

Ding!

There was a soft ring that sounded like water falling on an ice crystal. Suddenly, a moon-shaped profound seal appeared behind Jian Ziqi and caused the surrounding cold air to increase tremendously. A penetrating cold pierced through everyone’s body and stabbed into their minds, causing them to shiver all over.

“That’s her ultimate move, Moon Sinking.” As Jian Ziqi was a long-time opponent, Wang Jiacai could recognize her move with a glance. He didn’t expect her to use her most deadly strike directly like this.

Jian Ziqi’s shocking aura immediately made Ning Yue nervous. Although she believed Yun Lintian would win this, it couldn’t prevent her from worrying about him.

“She’s good, but it’s far from enough to defeat him.” Shen Yan shook her head slightly. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨

Tian Hualing’s eyes narrowed slightly as her gaze fixated on Yun Lintian attentively. She didn’t want to miss a single detail from him.

Facing the frightening aura of Jian Ziqi, Yun Lintian was calm as if nothing had happened. His eyes fixated on her sword, which was radiated with a terrifying cold.

All of a sudden, Jian Ziqi took a step forward, and her figure immediately appeared two steps away from Yun Lintian. She then resolutely thrust her sword forward at Yun Lintian’s chest.

Under everyone’s gaze, Yun Lintian didn’t move in the slightest. He slowly lifted his left hand, and a small layer of blur barrier appeared in his palm, welcoming Jian Ziqi’s sword.

Boom!

A terrifying burst of icy aura exploded, causing the entire area and the defensive barrier around it to cover with layers of frost.

While everyone was shocked by the frightening collision, they suddenly saw a figure fly away and flip a few times in the air before landing on the ground safely. The ice mist gradually disappeared, revealing Jian Ziqi’s figure.

Clearly, Jian Ziqi was actually forced to retreat in this exchange!

When the ice mist completely dissipated, Yun Lintian withdrew his hand and said calmly. “Good sword intent, but it’s too dull.”

Everyone was dumbfounded upon seeing Yun Lintian was safe and sound. There wasn’t even a stain on his white robe.

Jian Ziqi wiped the trace of blood out of the corner of her mouth and said. “Please teach me.”

Wang Jiacai and the others looked at her in astonishment. They couldn’t believe what they had just heard… The proud daughter of heaven, Jian Ziqi, actually asked her opponent to teach her? What the hell was going on here?

“I don’t dare to say that I have achieved a higher realm on the sword path, but I know one or two things you are lacking.” Yun Lintian said gently. “A sword practitioner must be sharp and decisive, but it doesn’t mean you have to abandon your seven emotions and six desires. Instead, you must learn to control and utilize them in your sword art.”

“What you have right now is a sharp tip but a dull blade. It made you a one-dimensional sword practitioner that only knows how to thrust.”

Jian Ziqi lowered her head and murmured to herself. “A sharp tip but a dull blade…”

A moment later, she raised her head slightly to look at Yun Lintian before bowing deeply. “Thank you for your teachings. I’ve learned a lot this time.”

Yun Lintian nodded and said. “I believe you will become a sword fairy that shakes the entire Divine Realm in the future.”

Jian Ziqi took a deep look at Yun Lintian before flying back to her seat.

Yun Lintian swept his gaze over the crowd and asked. “Those who want to fight me, please come up.”

The entire palace fell into a deathly silence. The earlier scene was still lingering in everyone’s mind. Yun Lintian simply raised his hand, and Jian Ziqi’s most powerful move couldn’t even leave a scratch on his palm… Who would dare to fight him?

At this moment, the faces of Qin Jun and his people were pale as white sheets. They stared at Yun Lintian blankly as if they were losing their souls.

Yun Lintian waited for a full minute and said. “Since there’s no one coming up. I’ve decided to challenge the first-place holder. Please come up.”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Chu Teng.

Chu Teng remained silent for a while before leaping onto the stage. “Please advise me.”

Yun Lintian asked calmly. “Do you want to go first?”
