Myth Beyond Heaven

Watching Yun Lintian's actions, Jian Feng lamented inwardly. He suddenly felt the so-called genius that people claimed was nothing but a false statement. Even he himself was nothing in front of Yun Lintian.

"Don't belittle yourself. He's special. His existence will always be unique whether it's the past or the future." Qing Xiaoting said softly as she perceived Jian Feng's disturbed mood.

"I know, master." Jian Feng calmed down and said in a heavy tone.

"There is a week before the Heavenly Sword Summit. You can forget about resting during this period." Qing Xiaoting looked at Yun Lintian and said.

Yun Lintian woke up from the joy of gaining new power and was stunned upon hearing this. He asked reluctantly. "Is it necessary?"

"Do you think it's an extraordinary achievement?" Qing Xiaoting said plainly. "You still have a long, long way to go."

Before Yun Lintian could complain, she interrupted him. "Take a rest. We will resume in an hour."

Yun Lintian opened his mouth a few times, but no words came out in the end. He could only obediently walk to the pavilion and slump on the stone stool powerlessly.

"Have a drink, husband." Shen Liqiu handed a cup of water to Yun Lintian and meticulously took care of his wounds like a virtuous wife.

Yun Lintian was too tired to bother with her. He drank a few cups of water and lamented. "I shouldn't bother with this from the start."

Yun Qianxue smiled and said. "You were too leisurely before. This is what we, practitioners, should practice."

Yun Lintian smiled bitterly and couldn't refute it. After all, looking back on his journey, he always had it easy. It could be said this was the first time he had truly touched the essence of the practice.

He didn't think about it further and stuffed a few healing pills into his mouth before closing his eyes and starting to recuperate.

,m On the other side, Qing Xiaoting sat on a boulder and asked Jian Feng. "What did you find out?"

Jian Feng frowned slightly and replied. "Aside from Du Huanfeng, Xing Renshu, Lei Jun, and Palace Master Yan also have strange behaviors recently. It's like everyone is tacitly targeting Brother Lin. I'm afraid they will do something to him during the Heavenly Sword Summit."

He naturally didn't care about Yun Lintian's true identity, but it was impossible for him to completely ignore it. Since those people all set their eyes on Yun Lintian, there was obviously something behind this.

Qing Xiaoting glanced at Yun Lintian and said. "You don't have to care about this. Remember, your goal is the Heavenly Sword."

Jian Feng furrowed his brows. He didn't understand why his master told him to do this.

As if she saw through his thoughts, Qing Xiaoting said calmly. "Unless they are seeking death, they won't dare to confront him."

Jian Feng was taken aback for a second.

"His true strength isn't something that can be measured, just like his potential. What you experienced earlier is only the tip of the iceberg." Qing Xiaoting gave him a meaningful gaze.

Jian Feng was shocked inwardly. He was clear; his master would never lie to him. Looked like he had underestimated Yun Lintian greatly.

"Tell sword attendants to keep an eye on them." Qing Xiaoting said and closed her eyes, meditating.

Jian Feng took a deep breath and walked away, finding a place to contact the sword attendants.

"He did that?" In the Star Pavilion building, Xing Renshu was surprised to hear the news about Du Huanfeng.

He shook his head and said. "I'm not surprised why he was defeated by Yun Lintian many times. He's too impatient."

"It was the Sword Attendants who made a move." The beautiful woman standing beside him said.

The trace of surprise on Xing Renshu's face grew stronger when he heard this. He chuckled and said. "It seems Jian Feng is truly determined this time. Perhaps he already knows Yun Lintian's identity?… If that's the case, then it will be more troublesome."

He thought for a while and said. "Everything lies behind the Heavenly Sword Summit. At that time, there won't be anyone to protect him."

"Young Master, his strength cannot be underestimated. Our people have confirmed the turbulence on the Western Continent back then was driven by him." The woman said cautiously.

A frown appeared between Xing Renshu's brows. He tapped his finger on the table, pondering this matter for a long time, and muttered to himself. "It seems I have to use that."

The woman's expression became solemn. "Young Master…"

Xing Renshu waved his hand. "As long as I can capture him. Spending some lifespans is more than worth it. Don't forget that his secrets are likely to be something beyond this world."

The woman said no more.

Xing Renshu thought for a moment and asked. "What about Lei Jun?"

A trace of disdain appeared in the depth of the woman's eyes as she replied. "He's busy courting Lin Xinyao."

"Hah. I knew it." Xing Renshu laughed slightly. "Well, let someone stare at him in case he does something unexpected."

"Understood." The woman replied readily.

"Xinyao, can I have a meal with you today?" In the Sun Clan manor, Lei Jun said opposite Lin Xinyao and spoke earnestly. His voice and his expression were heartfelt.

Unfortunately, he met Lin Xinyao. If it was someone else, they probably believed him.

Lin Xinyao wasn't angry or annoyed by him. She said plainly. "I have stated clearly that I'm not interested in getting to know you. Please leave, Young Master Lei."

Lei Jun's smile faltered slightly, but he didn't give up. He sighed softly and said. "I know you are angry with my Divine Thunder Palace. I'm sorry about this. We cannot send people to help your Frozen Moon Palace."

He stared straight into her eyes and said firmly. "Please give me a chance to make up for you. I will send a billion of the high-grade Profound Stones and various resources. At the same time, I have arranged a hundred Thunder Guards to protect and help you fight the enemy."

"Hopefully, this is enough to make you forgive me."

Lin Xinyao's expression didn't change in the slightest, facing his pleading. She went silent for a moment and uttered coldly. "Leave or die."

As her voice fell, her aura rose sharply, and Lei Jun immediately suffocated under terrifying pressure emitted from her…
