Myth Beyond Heaven

"It's him?" Inside a courtyard, Xia Nongyue was taken aback by Lou Lan's report.

"His strength is unfathomable. It's surprising that he has reached this height in just ten years." Lou Lan said with a melancholic expression.

Back then, Yun Tian was still a helpless little boy. Now, he became someone she could only admire. Lou Lan didn't know how to describe her current mood.

Xia Nongyue was no exception. She couldn't help but inwardly sigh.

"You should meet him." At this moment, a middle-aged woman on the side spoke. She was Jing Mei, Xia Nongyue's mother.

Xia Nongyue responded. "But he is about to leave soon."

"That's why you should see him even more." Jing Mei said with a smile. "Go. This could be the last time you see him. Don't regret it later. Not to mention, he saved you this time. You should express your gratitude to him."

"You are right, Mom." Xia Nongyue said with a serious expression.

She turned to look at Lou Lan and asked. "Do you know where he lives?"

"I know." Lou Lan replied.

***

After having dinner with Yun Yi and Yun Xia, Yun Tian planned to do his routine meditation. He should be able to do it with peace of mind this time.

However, before he could start, someone suddenly arrived at the door.

"Senior Yun." Xia Nongyue spoke softly.

A strange feeling appeared in Yun Tian's heart when he saw Xia Nongyue again. Her appearance had not changed much over the years, but her temperament had become more refined.

Yun Tian opened the door and invited Xia Nongyue inside.

The two looked at each other in silence for a while until Yun Tian spoke first. "It's been a while, Your Highness."

"Just call me Nongyue." Xia Nongyue said.

"Fine. You can call me by my name directly." Yun Tian responded.

Xia Nongyue suddenly bowed her head and said. "Thank you for rescuing me from the fire pit."

Yun Tian waved his hand to help Xia Nongyue up and said. "This is nothing. We are friends, after all. It's normal for me to help you."

"I thought you didn't want to be friends with me after you left that day." Xia Nongyue said with a smile.

"How could it be?" Yun Tian said. "I was too weak at that time. Staying behind would endanger my life."

The two of them fell into silence once again.

Yun Lintian looked at them with a weird expression. The ambiguous atmosphere made him realize they seemed to have good feelings for each other deep in their hearts. It was just that they didn't dare to continue.

"Is it love at first sight?" Yun Lintian spoke to himself. He suddenly felt like he had become a gossipy uncle at a vegetable market.

Xia Nongyue mustered her courage and asked. "Can you tell me where you are going?"

Yun Tian was momentarily taken aback before responding. "I plan to go back to my hometown. Verdant Village."

"It shouldn't be your final destination, am I correct?" Xia Nongyue asked further.

Yun Tian was taken aback by her question. He nodded and then explained. "Perhaps you have figured out my strength. I won't hide anything from you. I have already surpassed the Monarch Profound Realm and stepped into the realm called the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm."

"After reaching this realm, I always feel the world's boundaries. It is possible that I will depart for other places."

He smiled and continued speaking. "But it should be a decade later. I need to wait until Yun Yi and Yun Xia become stronger first."

Xia Nongyue was slightly surprised. "So, the legend is true? There is a world beyond this one."

"It should be." Yun Tian replied.

Xia Nongyue fell silent for a long while before speaking. "I wish you good luck."

For some reason, Yun Tian felt a hint of reluctance when he heard this. He nodded gently and said. "You too."

Xia Nongyue also felt a tinge of disappointment in her heart when she heard this.

Yun Tian produced a small book out of thin air and placed it in front of Xia Nongyue. "This is a high-level profound art. It is suitable for you. Whether you can reach my realm it depends on your effort. I hope you can become stronger and no longer be forced to do something again."

Xia Nongyue was stunned. High-level profound art was extremely precious. How could Yun Tian give her like that?

"Thank you." Xia Nongyue said with a grateful expression. "Maybe we can leave together."

Yun Tian laughed and said. "That would be the best."

The two glanced at each other and smiled.

The night passed without anything happening between the two. The next day, Yun Tian quietly left the city with Yun Yi and Yun Xia, returning to his hometown, a small village deep in the mountains.

Since Yun Lintian couldn't leave Yun Tian too far, he could only stay in the village and watch Yun Yi and Yun Xia grow up.

Another decade had passed in the blink of an eye. Yun Yi and Yun Xia had now become fully grown adults. Both of them had unparalleled looks and talents. Within ten years, they had already reached the Monarch Profound Realm.

"Master, it happened again." Yun Yi returned to the courtyard and spoke with Yun Tian.

Yun Tian looked at the overcast sky and furrowed his brow deeply. During these years, the aura of the world had changed significantly. It had become more chaotic and filled with malice.

At the same time, profound beast tides often occurred across the Profound Continent. Many people suffered and were displaced.

Verdant Village was fortunate to have Yun Tian here. Otherwise, the village would also be gone.

"Have you taken care of it?" Yun Tian asked.

"I have already killed all of them." Yun Yi replied.

"This is not the solution." Yun Tian said with a serious expression. "Looks like I need to go out."

"Master…" Yun Yi wanted to speak but was interrupted.

"You and Xia'er should stay here to protect this village." Yun Tian said. "I'll be back in a while. Don't worry."

"Understood." Yun Yi nodded. "By the way, Master. I heard that the Xia Kingdom has been suffering in recent years."

"I see." Yun Tian responded. "I'll leave now."

He stood up and vanished from the location. His destination was naturally the Xia Kingdom…
