Myth Beyond Heaven

2219 Divine Realm (1)

A buzz of activity filled the Yun Clan manor as it overflowed with visitors. Yet, Yun Lintian, accompanied by Yun Ling, set out for Azure Capital City. Initially, he’d intended to travel alone, but his adorable maidservant’s pleading eyes proved irresistible.

“Wow!” Yun Ling exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as they took in the bustling streets and throngs of people, a sight entirely new to her.

Yun Lintian couldn’t help but smile faintly. Though he’d witnessed many grand cities, Azure Capital City nonetheless held a certain charm.

“Where to first, Young Master?” Yun Ling inquired, a hint of suppressed excitement in her voice. “The palace,” Yun Lintian replied, already striding purposefully towards the distant Azure Royal Palace.

Yun Ling, by now accustomed to her young master’s imposing demeanor, felt a pang of amusement. Though uncertain of the cause behind his transformation after the beating, she viewed it as a stroke of good fortune. The once timid young master now exuded an aura of unwavering confidence and promise.

As Yun Lintian and Yun Ling approached the palace gates, a young man clad in a luxurious white robe immediately drew their attention. His calm and composed demeanor exuded a distinct royal aura.

“Greetings, Young Patriarch Yun and Miss Yun,” the young man spoke with a polite smile. “This is our first meeting. I am Qing Ze”

Yun Ling’s eyes widened in surprise. In a hushed tone, she leaned towards Yun Lintian. “He’s the crown prince candidate.”

Yun Lintian, though slightly surprised, quickly grasped Qing Ze’s intentions.

With a smile, he cupped his fists in a respectful gesture. “Yun Lintian greets First Prince.” “Such courtesy is unnecessary, Young Patriarch Yun,” Qing Ze replied, returning the gesture. “Please, follow me. The National Master eagerly awaits your arrival.”

Yun Lintian inclined his head in acknowledgment and followed Qing Ze into the palace. Throughout the journey, Yun Ling’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as she marveled at her surroundings. The sheer grandeur of the palace confirmed its status as the most majestic building in the Azure Kingdom. Such magnificence was unmatched in the region.

Qing Ze, casting a sidelong glance at Yun Lintian, inquired with a hint of amusement. “Young Patriarch Yun, I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on our Azure Kingdom”

Yun Lintian responded casually. “Based on my understanding, the Azure Kingdom faces a significant threat from the neighboring Zhao Kingdom. With our current military might, we can likely maintain this stalemate for a millennium at most.”

During his travels, Yun Lintian had studied the materials his father provided on the Azure Kingdom’s situation. Kingdoms within the Great Wilderness Realm were numerous, and conflict between them was a constant reality.

Qing Ze sighed heavily. “Our only defense is the National Master’s presence. We’re powerless to

alter the situation. The Zhao Kingdom boasts a Divine Realm National Master as well.”

Yun Lintian met his gaze with a faint smile. “The concern in your eyes is genuine. You have the makings of a great emperor.” freewebnøvel.coɱ

Qing Ze shook his head modestly. “I haven’t carned that title yet. Whether I become emperor is insignificant compared to the Azure Kingdom’s safety.”

Yun Lintian’s smile deepened. “I’ll discuss this with your National Master.”

Relief washed over Qing Ze’s features as he bowed his head. “Thank you, Young Patriarch Yun.”

“I’m not doing this for your lineage,” Yun Lintian clarified indifferently, “but for my own family. After all, the Yun Clan’s roots lie here.”

Qing Ze nodded solemnly.

They soon arrived at a small, bamboo courtyard nestled within the royal gardens.

“This is it. I’ll take my leave now,” Qing Ze said with a gentle bow before departing.

“He seems kind,” Yun Ling whispered, watching him go. freewebnσvel.cøm

Yun Lintian chuckled softly. “Don’t be naive, Little Ling. Appearances can be deceiving.” He offered no further explanation, simply walking towards the courtyard entrance.

Yun Ling blinked, stunned by the revelation. “Is it a facade?” she murmured, scrambling to follow Yun Lintian inside.

Jiu Lang, amidst the simplicity of the courtyard, was brewing a pot of tea when the newcomers arrived. He looked up and greeted them with a warm, “Please, have a seat.”

“Young Master…” Yun Ling spoke, perhaps with the intention to leave, but Yun Lintian gently stopped her.

“Stay” Yun Lintian said softly.

Yun Ling complied, a hint of apprehension lingering in her demeanor. Though unfamiliar with Jiu Lang, his aura exuded an unfathomable power that made her feel restrained.

Yun Lintian took a seat and accepted the teacups Jiu Lang offered. I le placed one in front of Yun Ling before taking a calm sip of his own.

“This is the best I’ve had in a while,” Yun Lintian remarked with a smile.

Jiu Lang stroked his beard, a smile playing on his lips. “I’m glad it pleases you!

He felt a newfound certainty about Yun Lintian’s connection to a True God. The spirit tea he used, sourced from the Holy Land itself, elicited no significant reaction from Yun Lintian. Clearly, such teas were commonplace for him.

Meanwhile, Yun Ling was stunned. The moment the tea touched her lips, a wave of refreshing energy washed over her. It felt as if she were nestled in a sea of clouds, her mind growing clear and focused. More remarkably, she sensed her cultivation level rising.

Yun Lintian, with a gentle gesture, sent a wisp of pure wood energy towards Yun Ling to aid her in digesting the tea’s potent medicinal effects. This casual action further astonished Jiu Lang. The wood energy Yun Lintian wielded possessed a level of purity unlike anything he had ever encountered.

“Senior Jiu,” Yun Lintian began, his voice breaking the tranquility, ‘I have a question for you

today.”

Jiu Lang, addressed with a title that stroked his ego, smiled warmly. “Ask away, Young Master” “What can you tell me about the Misty Cloud Palace?” Yun Lintian inquired.

A flicker of curiosity crossed Jiu Lang’s eyes. He knew Yun Lintian’s mother hailed from the Misty Cloud Palace, but Yun Lintian’s complete lack of knowledge surprised him.

“The Misty Cloud Palace,” Jiu Lang began, his voice taking on a serious tone, ‘is one of the most powerful factions within the Divine Moon God Clan’s domain. While I say ‘one of,’ I wouldn’t hesitate to call them the strongest.” He spoke truthfully, his years of experience giving his words weight.

Yun Lintian was surprised inwardly. Divine Moon Clan? Had he truly arrived in the Primordial Era?

The revelation that the Misty Cloud Palace belonged to the Divine Moon Clan only deepened the mystery. This unexpected connection was truly baffling…
