Myth Beyond Heaven

"Alright, I have achieved my goal now. The existence of the Heaven Piercing Sword is to allow you to enter the detaching realm." The man said further. "I thought it would take a few years, but it turned out… Alas, you are too heaven-defying, nephew."

"Heaven Piercing Sword?" Yun Lintian was puzzled slightly.

"Oh? What did people call the sword at the top of the mountain?" Seeing Yun Lintian's puzzled expression, the man asked curiously.

"Well, since it fell from heaven, they called it Heavenly Sword." Yun Lintian replied.

"Heavenly Sword? Pfft. What a lame name." The man laughed out loud.

Yun Lintian's face twitched slightly… I don't think Heaven Piercing Sword is different.

The man laughed for a good while and asked. "Did you notice something after comprehending the Heaven Piercing Sword Art?"

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and replied. "I feel this sword art differs from other profound arts I have studied. For example, the Dragon Fist relies on my physique and essence to increase its power, but the Heaven Piercing Sword Art uses everything, physique, essence, and soul. What's more, I don't need a sword to perform it."

"You are right. Once you practice it to the highest level, every part of your body can become a sword. You don't need a sword to perform it at all…. Naturally, it's even better with a high-rank sword." The man nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright. There's nothing for me to teach you anymore. We shall part here. I hope you live up to my senior brother's legacy." There was a hint of reluctance in his voice as he spoke.

"Wait, Martial Uncle. How do I find you?" Yun Lintian hurriedly asked.

"Why? You can't bear to part with your uncle?" The man said gently.

Yun Lintian's lips twitched slightly… I'm afraid you are overthinking, uncle.

The man chuckled. "You will eventually find me when you come to the First Heaven."

"First Heaven?" Yun Lintian was puzzled.

"You can ask Hongyue about it. I can feel her presence in your body. It means she is still alive." The man responded.

He took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. "After taking the Heaven Piercing Sword away, you should find a place to consolidate your realm and familiarize yourself with the sword first… Well, I think you know what to do."

"I'm leaving." As he finished his sentence, his figure slowly disappeared from the place.

Yun Lintian immediately opened his eyes. He quickly looked around the place and saw Weilan Tian standing there alone. It was as his expectation, Xing Renshu had already fled.

"Congratulations." Weilan Tian said calmly.

Yun Lintian nodded. "Thank you."

"You can go at ease. Leave your friends to me." Weilan Tian said.

Yun Lintian was surprised. He didn't expect Weilan Tian to take the initiative to offer his help.

He cupped his fists and said. "Thank you, Brother Weilan."

Weilan Tian nodded and said. "I think you already know this, but I should repeat it. The Star Gazing Palace is unfathomed, and their strength is much more than what they have revealed on the surface."

A rare, solemn expression appeared on his face as he continued. "Although Xing Renshu is a true successor, he's, in fact, ranked at the bottom among his peers. Since you have entered their eyes, everyone around you is not safe anymore. You have to be careful about this."

Yun Lintian's face turned cold. "I understand. Thank you for telling me this."

Weilan Tian didn't say anything further. He crushed the token and vanished from the place.

Yun Lintian went silent for a while. He wasn't worried much about his people on the Northern Continent because Qingxuan and Lu Bo were watching over them. What he was concerned about the most was his master and his Senior Sister, Jiang Yingyue.

At the moment, Xing Rehsnhu hadn't yet figured out the relationship between Yun Lintian and Lin Zixuan. Once he discovered this, Lin Zixuan, Jiang Yingyue, and perhaps all of his senior sisters would undoubtedly be targeted by him. This wasn't something Yun Lintian wanted to see.

He let out a long breath and muttered to himself. "Never mind. One step at a time."

Yun Lintian checked his profound strength briefly. With his fifth level of the Saint Profound Realm power, he firmly believed he could take any peak monarch in a single strike, as long as they didn't possess a top defensive artifact. And he could contend with any early-level Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm expert.

He raised his head slightly to look at the sword tablet before him and reached out to touch it.

Clang!

All of a sudden, an ear-piercing hum of a sword echoed throughout the mountain, and all the golden lights from the thirty-six tablets quickly gathered before transforming into a long golden bridge, heading toward the top of the hill.

This scenery immediately attracted the attention of everyone outside.

Especially Xing Renshu, who stood at the foot of the mountain. His expression became unsightly as he knew Yun Lintian could possibly take the Heavenly Sword away. At that time, the Heavenly Sword Palace would become Yun Lintian's ally, and it would be difficult if he wanted to do something to him.

"You have disappointed me." A cold voice suddenly resounded in Xing Renshu's mind, making him shudder.

A cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he hurriedly said. "Please forgive me, father."

"Come back and let your brother handle it." The cold voice resounded further.

Xing Renshu's expression changed drastically. His eyes were full of unwillingness, but he had to comply. "Understood, father."

Afterward, he turned around and left directly.

His departure didn't attract much attention as everyone was looking at the golden bridge on the mountain.

At this moment, Yun Lintian stepped on the golden bridge and walked toward the peak unhurriedly. He thought there would be the final stage, but it seemed to be disappeared now.

Soon, he arrived at the mountain's peak and saw an exquisite sword hilt protruding from the ground. Its blade was sunk deeply, making Yun Lintian unable to see anything.

The golden bridge roiled over and transformed into a golden beam, descending upon the dark-blue hilt. A terrifying surge of sword intent permeated the air and expanded to the Heavenly Sword Divine city several hundreds of kilometers away, causing all the living beings below to suffocate.
