Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian fell into silence for a long time. He tried to connect the dots between the mysterious woman and Yun Wushuang, but he didn’t think they were the same person. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be better to make the Misty Cloud Palace the number one in the world instead of letting the Azure Palace occupy it?

Furthermore, if Yun Wushuang was that powerful, they wouldn’t be a struggle between the Abyssal Profound Beasts and humans in the first place.

The more Yun Lintian thought about it, the more confused he became. This feeling, when he felt he could reach it, but it was blocked by a tiny stump that he couldn’t take out, made him about to go crazy.

“Ruanyu, have you ever heard anything about Yun Wushuang?” Yun Lintian asked in his mind.

In the Land of Beyond Heaven, Yun Ruanyu, Yun Huanxin, Hongyue, and Lauya sat on the sofa and watched the scene calmly. When Nantian Xiulan mentioned the Misty Cloud Palace and Yun Wushuang, Yun Ruanyu and Yun Huanxin immediately looked at each other in shock.

Both of them, of course, heard about the peerless Misty Cloud Sect Founder many times, but none of them had ever known her name. This was the first time they heard it as well. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝘨

Yun Ruanyu calmed down and answered. “Unfortunately, no. You’ve already seen the record that the Grand Sect Master left behind. We know nothing more than that.”

Yun Lintian sighed inwardly. It seemed the clue had truly ended here.

He put this matter aside and asked. “Senior, do you know the origin of those Abyssal Profound Beasts? How could they appear here all of a sudden?”

Nantian Xiulan went silent for a moment and said calmly. “They came here through a spatial tunnel.”

“Spatial tunnel?” Yun Lintian repeated in doubt.

“Before the nine palaces era, this would use to have countless experts ascending to the Divine World. It was until one day the world’s boundary was entirely blocked by an unknown reason, preventing practitioners from ascending.” Nantian Xiulan tried to shorten the story as much as possible.

“Naturally, these powerful practitioners tried everything they could to open the sealed boundary, but no one had ever succeeded in the end… Later, a renowned powerhouse called Longevity Monarch successfully broke through the world’s boundary, but the result was opposite what everyone had expected.”

Nantian Xiulan’s face became solemn as she continued. “Instead of opening the path to the Divine World, the spatial tunnel led to an unknown world full of Abyssal Energy. Since then, countless Abyssal Profound Beasts kept pouring into this world, wreaking havoc all over the places.”

“As for Longevity Monarch, he simply fled away to the Divine World with some other monarchs and never came back again since.”

Yun Lintian, Nantian Xuanyu, and Nantian Fengyu were shocked upon hearing this. Especially Nantian Xuanyu. She was the current Divine Phoenix Palace Master, but she had never known about the true history before. This information had subverted her historic knowledge entirely.

Nantian Fengyu frowned slightly. “How did it end?”

Nantian Xiulan shook her head. “After I was reborn again, I spent my time investigating this matter, and my conclusion is that Senior Yun and the others have successfully sealed the spatial tunnel. However, I am unsure about its position and who is taking care of it currently… My bet is it has something to do with the Azure Palace.”

“Second Ancestor… Are we…?” Nantian Xuanyu couldn’t help asking.

Nantian Xiulan nodded gently. “With the fall of Tianqi Zongwei, I’m afraid the Azure Palace would become more unrestrained in the near future. Our current strength is not enough to contend with them.” She turned to Nantian Fengyu and said. “That’s the reason I called you back this time.”

The frown between Nantian Fengyu’s eyebrows grew deeper. Even though she didn’t want to have anything to do with this, it was impossible for her to avoid it.

Just as Yun Lintian was digesting the information, he suddenly received a report from Yun Meilan. “Lintian, the Northern Continent has been attacked by the profound beast tide not long ago. However, everything is in the Frozen Moon Palace’s control now.”

Yun Lintian’s eyes turned sharply upon hearing this. The Poison Valley moved faster than he had expected. He could not waste time here now.

He raised his head and said. “Palace Master, please get into our business. I have an urgent matter to do next.”

Everyone could see the change in Yun Lintian’s expression, but they didn’t ask anything about it.

Nantian Xuanyu looked at Nantian Xiulan and saw the latter nod her head. She turned to Yun Lintian and said. “Please come with me.”

Yun Lintian nodded and said to Nantian Xiulan. “Senior, please check the news about the Northern Continent.”

Afterward, he followed Nantian Xuanyu to the back of the hall.

Nantian Xiulan’s brows raised slightly. “Come here.”

Swoosh!

“Master.” A woman in red silently appeared beside Nantian Xiulan and greeted the latter respectfully.

“Tell me about the recent situation.” Nantian Xiulan closed her eyes, listening to the woman’s report.

A while later, she opened her eyes, and a look of nostalgia appeared in them. “Perhaps it’s time.”

She looked at the woman and said. “Notify the Phoenix Parries. Let them prepare for a large-scale war… This war could decide our future.”

A look of astonishment appeared on the woman’s face. She responded solemnly. “Understood, Master.” As she finished, her figure vanished from the spot.

Nantian Xiulan turned to look in Yun Lintian’s direction and muttered to herself. “I hope he could live up to your expectation, Senior Yun.”

***

Nantian Xuanyu led Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu to an ancient gate embedded in a mountain wall. A majestic phoenix pattern could be seen on it, exuding a solemn aura that made anyone feel reverent.

Nantian Xuanyu didn’t explain anything. She walked toward the gate and placed her hand on it. Immediately, a phoenix symbol between her brows lit up with a bright red light, and the giant gate gradually opened.

“Follow me.” Nantian Xuanyu beckoned them and walked into a passage behind the gate.

Yun Lintian turned to look at Nantian Fengyu and saw the latter had a sorrowful expression on her face. “You don’t have to go in if you don’t want to.”

Nantian Fengyu shook her head and took a deep breath. “I’m fine. It’s just this place brings me bad memory… Let’s go.”

Yun Lintian didn’t say anything further and followed Nantian Fengyu into the passage.
