Myth Beyond Heaven

The old woman’s hair was silvery white, reflecting her actual age. With a glance, Yun Lintian could see that her lifespan was about to reach the limit. If there was nothing wrong, she could live at most five years.

A kind smile could be seen on her wrinkled face as she looked at Yun Lintian. “I had never heard that there was a male disciple in the Misty Cloud Palace.”

Hearing this, Yun Lintian’s expression changed drastically. “Senior, you are…?”

How could Yun Lintian wasn’t shocked? From what he knew, few people in the world knew about the Misty Cloud Palace’s existence. Especially in this era. Except for Yan Qi, he had never encountered anyone so far. What was more? This old woman actually knew the regulation of the Misty Cloud Palace… Who is she? And how old is she?

“Counting the generation, your Palace Founder is my senior.” The old woman sighed softly. “Alas, time flies… Senior Yun is the person I admire the most. I would seize every opportunity to follow her around the world back then.”

She seemed to immerse in the past memory in her mind. Her face was full of nostalgia. It seemed she had a good relationship with the Misty Cloud Sect Founder.

Being ignored by the old woman, Nantian Fengyu gave her a fierce glare and said. “Hey! Don’t ignore me, you old woman! How dare you check on my Junior Brother?”

The old woman retracted her thoughts and looked at Nantian Fengyu with a kind smile. “It’s really rare that you are so close with someone. Look like you’ve grown up a lot during this absent period.”

“Hmph! Don’t change the topic!” Nantian Fengyu snorted coldly.

The old woman laughed gently and turned to Yun Lintian. “I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Nantian Xiulan, the Second Generation Divine Phoenix Palace Master.”

“The Second Generation?” Yun Lintian was surprised because he could see that her lifespan was almost two thousand years. It didn’t make sense at all. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟ｅｌ.ｃ𝚘𝚖

“Since you have two divine bloodlines in your body, you should know one or two things about them.” Nantian Xiulan said with a meaningful smile. “Each one of the divine bloodlines has its own special characteristic. Our Divine Phoenix bloodline is the ability called a nirvana rebirth.”

Her words caused Nantian Fengyu and Nantian Xuanyu to look at her in surprise. The Nirvana Rebirth was considered a top secret of the Divine Phoenix Palace, yet Nantian Xiulan actually told Yun Lintian directly… Why would she trust Yun Lintian that much?

“Nirvana… I see.” Yun Lintian nodded in an understanding manner. He looked at Nantian Xiulan and asked curiously. “Senior, how did you know about the Misty Cloud Palace?”

Nantian Xiulan smiled and asked. “Do you want to know why I can remember it?” Seeing Yun Lintian nodding heavily, she continued. “Because of the Nirvana Rebirth, I have retained some of my memories. That’s why I can remember their existence clearly.”

“As for what happened to the Misty Cloud Palace in the past, I cannot remember it because I had fallen at that time and went under the Nirvana Rebirth. When I woke up again, everything has already become what it was today. No matter how hard I tried, I was unable to find a single clue of it.”

Yun Lintian frowned deeply. Looked like the clue ended here again. He thought for a moment and asked. “Does Senior knows about the Misty Cloud Sect?”

Nantian Xiulan replied. “Yes. I’ve been there once.” She paused for a moment and said further. “Since someone tried to bury the history, I thought that I might cause harm to your sect if I showed up. Hence, I chose to leave silently and never visit your sect again.”

She let out a long sigh of regret. “It was not until I learned about your existence that I discovered the Misty Cloud Sect had long disappeared.”

Listening to the conversation, Nantian Xuanyu and Nantian Fengyu seemed to understand Yun Lintian’s background bit by bit. However, they had never heard anything about the Misty Cloud Palace before. They were wondering what kind of existence it was.

“Junior Brother…?” Nantian Fengyu asked in doubt. She couldn’t resist the curiosity in her heart.

“Well, I think it’s better for Senior to answer this. In fact, I didn’t know much about it myself. It was, after all, something that happened thousands of years ago.” Yun Lintian replied after a short ponder.

“Second Ancestor?” Nantian Xuanyu asked cautiously.

Nantian Xiulan took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said with a smile. “That’s fine as well.”

She looked at Nantian Xuanyu and Nantian Fengyu before saying. “As both of you know, this world has nine palaces. However, instead of the Frozen Moon Palace in the North, it was actually the Misty Cloud Palace who reigned supreme there.”

“Back then, Misty Cloud Palace was a powerful existence alongside the Azure Palace. If it wasn’t because of that incident, this world should be called the Misty Cloud World instead.”

Her words immediately shocked Nantian Xuanyu and Nantian Fengyu to the core. As they grew up in the era where the Azure Palace reigned supreme, they didn’t quite believe there would be someone who could be more powerful than the Azure Palace… What was this Misty Cloud Palace?

Nantian Xiulan recollected the past memory and continued. “The First Generation Misty Cloud Palace Master and the Founder, Yun Wushuang, was the most powerful existence in the world back then. She possessed an unparalleled strength that even the First Generation Azure Palace Master had to make way for her.”

“During the past incident where Abyssal Profound Beasts rampaged everywhere, she was the sole leader who brought everyone together and dealt with those beasts. It could be said, without her, this world would have become a playground of them by now.”

Yun Wushuang… the Wushuang that means unrivaled? What a domineering name… Yun Lintian repeated the name in his heart. This was the first time he heard the name of the Misty Cloud Sect Founder. For some reason, an inexplicable feeling emerged in his heart, making him uncomfortable.

Listening to this point, Nantian Fengyu couldn’t help asking. “Since she was that powerful, why didn’t we hear a bit of her name before? Who could possibly erase her name from the history entirely like that?”

Nantian Xiulan shook her head gently. “I want to know as well… Such an existence could only be a divine being. That’s my guess.”
