Myth Beyond Heaven

“Then I will visit the Divine Phoenix Palace after this Heaven Vault Island trip.” Yun Lintian said.

Nantian Xuanyu nodded gently. “Speaking about this matter, I am quite sure the Poison Valley is behind this.”

Yun Lintian’s brows raised slightly, and he waited for her following explanation.

“Do you remember the ghost ship you met on the way here?” Nantian Xuanyu asked. “I’ve been investigating this for years and found a clue through your intervention. Before the disciples of the four sects disappeared, there was a report about people seeing the ghost ship nearby the island. I don’t think it’s a coincidence.”

“I see.” Yun Lintian nodded thoughtfully. “So that person is related to Poison Valley?”

“There can’t be other groups with Abyssal Energy.” Nantian Xuanyu replied. “You should be careful when you go there. There’s certainly a conspiracy behind this. Perhaps they are experimenting with something again.” 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and asked. “You allow everyone to enter the island because of this?”

“Clever.” Nantian Xuanyu smiled. “The more people, the higher chance they are likely to expose themselves.”

“The more baits, you said?” Nantian Fengyu sneered. “Your method has never been improved after so many years.”

Nantian Xuanyu chuckled and said nothing. She simply took her daughter’s words as a compliment.

In front of Nantian Xuanyu, Han Bingling looks like a child. This woman is indeed scary… Yun Lintian thought.

“Is there any notable caution I need to be aware of?”

Nantian Xuanyu thought for a moment and said. “I don’t know if this could help you. At the center of the island, there are four strange monuments. Three on the outside, with the higher one in the middle. According to the information we got, these monuments seem to represent something. It would react to moonlight and sunlight sometimes. I believe they are the key. As long as you can solve this puzzle, there may be an unexpected reward or potential danger waiting behind it.”

“Monuments? I see.” Yun Lintian took a note in his heart. Perhaps what Hongyue wanted him to do was relate to this.

“You can tell Jiyou or me directly if you need something. I’ll try my best to provide them for you.” Nantian Xuanyu naturally didn’t want anything to happen to Yun Lintian during this campaign.

Yun Lintian nodded and said. “Then I will have to trouble Senior gathering information about the Skymist Ancient City for me.”

“Skymist Ancient City? What do you need it for? Don’t tell me you are going to try it out?” Nantian Xuanyu was surprised. “It’s extremely dangerous, don’t you know?”

Yun Lintian shook his head with a smile. “It’s nothing, Senior. I am merely curious about it.”

Nantian Xuanyu took a deep look at him and said. “I’ll prepare it for you. You can get it when you return.”

“Thank you, Senior.” Yun Lintian said happily.

“Can you stop calling me senior? How about Sister Xuanyu instead?” Nantian Xuanyu smiled charmingly.

“Shameless!” Nantian Fengyu snorted. “Since your business here is done now, why don’t you leave yet?”

Nantian Xuanyu had an aggrieved expression as she spoke. “Ugh… My heart seems broken. Why are you so cruel?”

“Get out!” Nantian Fengyu was furious.

“Alright, alright. I will leave now.” Nantian Xuanyu clicked her tongue. She handed a crimson transmission jade to Yun Lintian and said. “You can contact me directly.”

Yun Lintian received the jade and watched Nantian Xuanyu leave.

“You shouldn’t interact with her often. She’s not a good person.” Nantian Fengyu said.

Yun Lintian nodded. “Don’t worry, Fifth Sister. I have my measurement.”

“Good! Now, it’s time for you to treat me a good meal. Let’s go!” Nantian Fengyu suddenly stood up and wanted to drag Yun Lintian away.

“Wait a minute, we just had a meal at the banquet. Are you hungry again?” Yun Lintian tried to resist.

“Hmph! Who told you to make me angry? Now I’m hungry again. It’s called angry hungry. Do you understand?” Nantian Fengyu didn’t care. She used her profound energy to confine Yun Lintian’s movement and simply dragged him away.

Yun Lintian was speechless… I’m not the one who made you angry, right?

***

A week passed by in a blink of an eye. Today was the full moon day, and it was the time Yun Lintian set off to Heaven Vault Island.

In the harbor, countless practitioners were gathered, preparing to board the ships with Heaven Vault Island as the destination.

Yun Lintian and the four great sects’ disciples stood a bit farther away from the crowd. They were currently listening to Zhou Chong’s arrangement.

“The next full moon cycle is relatively faster than before. Everyone has a week’s time on the island. No matter what happens, I hope all of you take safety as the first priority.” Zhou Chong said with a kind smile.

“We understood, Old City Lord Zhou.” Nantian Lingyan said with a serious expression.

Zhou Chong turned to look at the Great Earth Sect’s ten disciples and said calmly. “I hope all of you could cooperate with everyone well.”

“What do you mean, Senior? Are you thinking we would hold a personal grudge against him? My disciples aren’t that petty.” Situ Wuyou frowned in dissatisfaction when he heard this.

Zhou Chong smiled faintly. “I hope so.”

Situ Wuyou snorted coldly and said to the ten disciples. “Go ahead. Don’t forget about the mission I gave you.”

“Yes, First Elder.” The ten disciples replied in unison and walked onto a huge iron ship behind them.

“Junior Brother, you’ve to pay attention to them, alright?” Nantian Fengyu whispered softly. “They would surely do something against you.”

“Noted.” Yun Lintian responded calmly. If they tried to mess with him, he wouldn’t mind wiping them out. Anyway, he had already offended the Great Earth Sect.

Yun Lintian looked at Mu Qiuxue and said. “You should try to stay with Senior Nantian during this time.”

Mu Qiuxue replied calmly. “I know.”

“Don’t worry. She will be safe with me.” On the side, Nantian Jiyou said. She looked at Nantian Lingyan and the other four disciples. “You should listen to him, understand?”

“We understood, Second Elder.” Nantian Lingyan and the other four replied quickly.

“It’s time. Everyone should board the ship now.” Zhou Chong glanced at the sky and said.
