The eagle hovered above Yun Lintian for a while. Its sharp eyes stared at Yun Lintian from head to toe as if it wanted to see how special this little human was.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian had also looked at the eagle attentively. He believed this eagle was sent by someone because it had a chance to attack him and the rest, but it didn't even bother to look at them.
Furthermore, it clearly had a goal. The eagle didn't focus on the silver wolves that were easier to deal with but chose to deal with the black bear. This allowed Yun Lintian to realize that the eagle possessed a spiritual consciousness, even though it had yet entered the Spirit Profound Realm.
This was why he dared to come out and ask the question.
Yun Lintian touched the sword necklace on his neck, and a golden light flashed out, along with the Heaven Piercing Sword landing in his hand.
The sword's appearance startled everyone in the place, including the eagle. Its movements became sluggish by the sword's aura before landing on the ground a few meters away from Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian caressed the sword gently, but sadly, he couldn't communicate with it through his soul. "Thank you for your hardworking."
If it wasn't because of the Heaven Piercing Sword, Yun Lintian would have died from the attack of the Blue Demon a long time ago.
The sword seemed to perceive Yun Lintian's mood. It let out a low hum and rubbed its blade on his chest lovingly.

The eagle raised its head slightly, and a moment later, it nodded, agreeing with Yun Lintian's request.
Yun Lintian turned to Yun Hei and said. "Uncle Hei, please return to the village with everyone first. I'll go with this eagle."
Yun Hei opened his mouth, not knowing what to say at the moment. Yun Lintian's series of actions shocked him to the point his entire body grew numb.
He nodded slowly and said. "Understood. Be careful."
Yun Lintian smiled and let the eagle grab his shoulders, bringing him into the air and heading toward the top of the mountain.
"This is… incredible." One of the villagers beside Yun Hei said.
Yun Hei stared at Yun Lintian's disappearing silhouette for a while and said. "Let's go back. We need to prepare a lot of traps around the village."
Everyone nodded and quickly rushed out of the forest, returning to the village.
In the air, Yun Lintian looked at the paradise-like scenery below in relish. Compared to the Land of Beyond Heaven, this place was more grand, even though it lacked the richness of profound energy. It would be great if he could bring this entire mountain range into the Land of Beyond Heaven.
As the eagle flew higher, Yun Lintian's breathing grew increasingly difficult. However, the Heaven Piercing Sword in his hand seemed to notice this and released a gentle aura to cover him, allowing him to breathe easier.
"Thank you." Yun Lintian said gently.
The sword hummed softly and returned to the necklace form, hanging itself on Yun Lintian's neck.
Soon, the eagle passed through a group of clouds and scenery that was even more enigmatic than the one Yun Lintian had seen earlier appeared in his sight.
Instead of surrounding by a dense forest like before, the trees and flowers on the top of the mountain were more exotic and arranged neatly, as if someone had meticulously planted them.
A magnificent waterfall could be seen, shrouded with an immortal fog. Several deer, swans, and many beautiful animals were jumping and running everywhere. Yun Lintian felt like he had just entered a fairyland.
A few meters from the waterfall, a pagoda-shaped building seemingly made of precious jade and unrecognized gems could be seen standing tall. It was one story but big and tall enough, no different from a typical four-story building.
"This should be the Cloud Temple?" Yun Lintian said to himself curiously.
According to Yun Xia's words, the Cloud Temple was a sacred place of this Heavenly Cloud Mountain Range. And normally, none of the wild beasts dared to approach this place. Clearly, those swans and deers were special.
The eagle slowly descended and brought Yun Lintian to the ground before the temple. It then lowered its head respectfully as if waiting for someone to appear.

"Beyond Heaven King's successor? Look like my eyesight is still fine." An aged male voice suddenly resounded, startling Yun Lintian for a moment.
At the same time, an adult human's head-sized owl silently appeared at a small oak tree beside the temple. Its feathers were completely white, and its eyes were full of wisdom.
When Yun Lintian looked at the owl, he felt as if he was facing a respected elder.
"You are the guardian of this place?" He asked cautiously.
"Indeed." The white owl said. "You can call me Master Bai."
"So, you are the one who brought me in?" Yun Lintian asked further.
As time passed, the scene where he fell to this place gradually became clearer. He vaguely remembered something was pulling him and Lin Xinyao in. It should be this Master Bai's power.
"Yes. When I noticed your unique aura, I immediately pulled you in." The white owl, Master Bai, said. "Who would have thought you were the Beyond Heaven King's successor?"
He paused for a moment and asked. "I'm curious. How did you appear here in this world?"
Yun Lintian was surprised and asked back. "You don't know that the Beyond Heaven King had left his legacy behind in this world?"
A strange light flashed through Master Bai's intelligent eyes. Everything in his mind seemed to click all of a sudden. All of his doubts had disappeared completely.
"I see. Haha. So that's the case. No wonder that bastard sent me here. No wonder…" Master Bai suddenly laughed out loud. There was both resentment and excitement in his voice.
