Myth Beyond Heaven



Yun Lintian was unhurried to leave, as the Shen Clan gathering event would start in a month. He spent most of his time traveling around the Heavenhold Realm with Ning Yue and Yue Chuntao while practicing at night. 

Two weeks later, Yun Lintian's strength had finally touched the threshold. With another push, he could start a breakthrough right away. However, he stopped training and enjoyed precious time with the two girls.

"Miss, Priestess told us to leave as soon as possible." Inside a dining hall, Yue Qi walked over and said in a low voice.

Yue Chuntao didn't care about it. She gnawed on chicken drumsticks while giving him a side glance.

Yue Qi smiled helplessly and said further. "Miss, it will be a full moon soon."

Yue Chuntao put the drumsticks down and responded annoyingly. "Can't you see what I am doing?"

Yue Qi was about to say something but perceived a killing intent from her. He immediately shut up and retreated silently.

Ning Yue took a sip of water and asked curiously. "What's with the full moon, Sister Taotao?"

"It's nothing." Yue Chuntao replied. "Our Divine Moon Clan's people use the moon energy mainly in practice, and the full moon is the peak period."

"I see." Ning Yue nodded slowly. 

"I'll leave soon." Yun Lintian looked at them and said.

Ning Yue's expression froze as she looked at him silently. The reluctance in her eyes explained everything. 

Yue Chuntao glanced at him and asked. "Ready?"

Yun Lintian nodded slightly. "I'll have to trouble Senior Yue again."

"You don't have to be polite. Grandma Hua is more than willing to help you." Yue Chuntao took the last bite and said. "She should have something to talk with you later."

"Alright." Yun Lintian responded.

The three quickly finished the meal and returned to the Heavenhold Sect.

Inside the Sacred Hall's basement, Tian Yuhan looked at Yun Lintian and said. "Everything has been prepared."

"Thank you for everything. If there's a chance, we will see each other again." Yun Lintian said sincerely.

"We will." Tian Yuhan said faintly. 

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and said. "I'm leaving."

Tian Yuhan didn't say anything further. She touched the Heavenhold Pearl, and the sky of the Heavenhold Realm began to tremble. The original invisible barrier had slowly opened up until it disappeared completely. 

She turned to Yun Lintian and said. "You can go."

Yun Lintian cupped his fists and stepped into the Heavenhold Pearl with Ning Yue, followed by Yue Chuntao and Yue Qi. The four of them gradually disappeared along the blue light.

However, no one noticed a slight change in the Heavenhold Pearl the moment Yun Lintian walked into it. 

Watching Yun Lintian's group disappear into the light, Tian Yuhan stared at the place for a while and turned around, preparing to leave. 

In that instant, a strong force shot out of the pearl and wrapped around Tian Yuhan's body. Before she could react, the Heavenhold Pearl shrank into a thumb-sized bead and drilled into Tian Yuhan's forehead.

Tian Yuhan was stunned and involuntarily closed her eyes, falling into an enlightening state…

***

A blue light suddenly flashed in the starry sky outside the Heavenhold Realm, and Yun Lintian's group emerged from it.

Ning Yue looked around carefully and said. "It's so beautiful."

Yun Lintian observed the surrounding and nodded slightly. "Indeed."

At this moment, Yun Lintian saw an amiable old woman float over. Without a doubt, she was the Priestess of the Moon, Yue Hua.

"Junior Yun Lintian greets Senior Yue." Yun Lintian bowed his head slightly and said politely.

"Little Girl Ning Yue greets Senior Yue." Ning Yue hurriedly followed. 

Their real names were known by Yue Chuntao during their time together inside the secret land. Hence, Yue Chuntao didn't feel anything strange about it.

Yue Hua took a deep look at Yun Lintian for a moment and said gently. "Your demeanor is better than his back then, as well as your talent. If I hadn't seen you with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it at all."

Yun Lintian smiled faintly without saying anything. What Yue Hua said naturally referred to the four divine beasts' bloodlines and souls inside his body. At the same time, he was surprised that she could see through his secret at a glance. It seemed he had to find a better method to conceal his secret later.

As if she saw through his thoughts, Yue Hua said with a faint smile. "I have a special constitution. It allows me to see many things."

"I see." Yun Linian nodded gently.

Yue Hua turned to look at Ning Yue and said. "The thing inside you is one of a kind. You have to hide it well."

"Thank you for your concern, Senior." Ning Yue replied respectfully.

"Senior knows it?" Yun Lintian asked curiously.

Yue Hua shook her head. "It is just my guess. After all, no one has ever seen it before."

Yun Lintian frowned slightly. He thought that the small sprout in Ning Yue's body was a part of the Tree of Life, but as her strength grew, it didn't show anything resembling the Tree of Life at all. This made him doubt about it.

Yue Hua glanced at Yue Chuntao and asked. "Did you have enough fun?"

Yue Chuntao curled her lips. "If it isn't for Yueyue, I don't even bother to go back."

"Please forgive me, Priestess. I am incapable of bringing her back." Yue Qi knelt one knee in the air and said respectfully.

"Get up. We can talk about it when we go back." Yue Hua said faintly.

She turned to Yun Lintian and said. "I know about your plan. Are you sure that your trump card is strong enough to subdue them?... While the Mystic God Emperor is unlikely to take action, he has twenty-three Divine Emperors under him, and thirteen among them have already stood at the peak level."

Yun Lintian was unfazed. He said firmly. "I wish nothing more than seeing them come to me at once. It will be easier."

Yue Hua stared at Yun Lintian momentarily and waved her hand, sending a moon-crescent-shaped jade to him. "Crush it when you couldn't handle it."

Yun Lintian could feel a tremendous power inside the jade. He put it into his interspatial ring and said gratefully. "Thank you for giving me a life-saving mean, Senior."

Yue Hua didn't say anything in return, but one could see a strange color inside her eyes as her gaze fixated on Yun Lintian's interspatial ring…
