Myth Beyond Heaven



It was as if the whole world had crumbled. The entire mountain shook violently and spread to the surrounding mountains. Everyone hurriedly came out of their residence and looked toward the tallest peak that was full of dust clouds in shock. They had no idea what had just happened.

Tian Hualing, who had just left, turned around to look at the top of the mountain in astonishment. She knew that Tian Yuhan was testing Yun Lintian earlier but didn't expect it to reach this extent. 

Moreover, Yun Lintian's attack this time was beyond her imagination. While she was aware that Yun Lintian was a sword practitioner, the sword intent and power he displayed had surpassed any sword practitioners she knew.

One had to know that Yun Lintian was only at the second level of the Divine Spirit Realm right now. What if he reached the Divine Sovereign later? Wouldn't he kill her with a wave of his hand?

The dust clouds slowly dissipated as Yun Lintian landed on the ground, looking at Tian Yuhan, who was also staring back at him. Tian Yuhan's appearance was pristine as before, but if one looked closely, one would see a trace of blood drip along her right palm.

"Do you want to continue?" Yun Lintian asked calmly. If Tian Yuhan insisted on fighting further, he would need to summon the relics as well as the Dragon God's Soul to defeat her, which was considered unwise to expose here.

"Why don't you use a sword?" Tian Yuhan asked.

Yun Lintian replied with a faint smile. "A good sword practitioner could use any part of his body as a sword."

Tian Yuhan stared at Yun Lintian for a while and said. "Follow me."

Yun Lintian was relieved inwardly upon hearing this.

"Brother! Are you alright?" Ning Yue rushed over and asked concernedly. 

Yun Lintian smiled warmly. "I'm fine. These wounds are not deep."

"That's good to hear." Ning Yue patted her chest in relief.

"Let's go," Yun Lintian said and followed Tian Yuhan into the majestic hall.

The hall wasn't as spacious as Yun Lintian had expected. It was decorated simply with a few pieces of furniture, contrasting the imposing outer appearance.

Tian Yuhan walked to a simple wooden table and beckoned Yun Lintian and Ning Yue to sit down. She then poured them cups of tea.

"What's your real purpose for coming here?" Tian Yuhan placed the teacup in front of Yun Lintian and asked.

Yun Lintian took a sip of tea and answered. "It's the same as what I told everyone before. I was looking for a place to stay in the long term, and the place must be suitable for practicing. Young Miss Shen then gave me a suggestion about the Heavenhold Secret Land."

"I know Sect Master Tian must be curious about my identity, but I can't tell you. Of course, I'm not going to use it for free. I will try to help your sect as much as possible."

Tian Yuhan thought for a moment and said. "I can let you enter the secret land, but you have to join the sect. On the outside, you're my disciple and a future successor. Furthermore, you have to help the sect once we encounter a disaster."

Yun Lintian didn't agree right away. He pondered for a moment and said. "I have no problem with your conditions, but I want to add mine. If it's possible, I want a piece of land inside the sect. It will be a private land exclusive to me."

"Can you tell me why?" Tian Yuhan asked calmly.

"I will bring my people over in the future, and I believe this is the most suitable place for them." Yun Lintian stated directly.

Tian Yuhan was slightly surprised. "No problem. You can choose it by yourself and let Hualing know."

"Deal." Yun Lintian smiled in satisfaction. "By the way, can I enter the secret land right away?"

Tian Yuhan shook her head. "Unfortunately, no. We need to wait for the next full moon. And you can stay inside a year at most."

Yun Lintian frowned slightly. He suddenly felt like getting scammed by Shen Yan.

"A year outside is equivalent to a hundred years inside." Tian Yuhan explained. "Besides, you can come out and wait for the next full moon to enter again."

"I see." Yun Lintian was enlightened. 

Tian Yuhan turned to Ning Yue and said. "I can feel an extraordinary existence inside her body. Her affinity with the wood element is even higher than the sect founder."

"This is what I want to ask you for a favor." Yun Lintian said. "I need your help in finding a clue about her parents." 

"Tell me." Tian Yuhan didn't refuse.

"In fact, I've already asked Young Miss Shen, but no clue so far. Well, her real surname is Ning, and her parents went missing…." Yun Lintian gradually told Tian Yuhan about Ning Yue's backstory. Of course, he didn't tell her about the secret inside Ning Yue's body.

"Even the Mystic Auction House couldn't find a clue. I'm afraid I have to disappoint you as well." Tian Yuhan stated. "However, I'll let my people look for them. As long as they are still alive somewhere in this realm, it should be able to find their traces."

"There's no residence here. You can build it yourself." Tian Yuhan said further. "I will hold a great assembly seven days later to announce to the world about accepting you as my disciple. You should prepare well."

Yun Lintian could see what was waiting for him on that day, but he simply had no choice here. Many people in the sect would definitely disagree with the appointment, and some challenges were expected.

Of course, Yun Lintian had no problem showing his strength to subdue these people, but it was annoying.

"Understood." Yun Lintian responded. 

"You may leave." Tian Yuhan said calmly.

Yun Lintian didn't say anything and walked out of the hall with Ning Yue. He was going to build a small hut to live in.

After the two left, Tian Yuhan stayed silent for a while before taking a transmission jade out and contacting Shen Yan. "I will accept this gift."

A moment later, Shen Yan's voice resounded from the other side. "Trust me, you won't regret it. Besides, he's the only one who can help you. Just treat him well."

Tian Yuhan put the transmission jade away and stared at the scenery outside through the window. No one knew what she was thinking.
