Myth Beyond Heaven

"If it were you. Would you let a bird leave the cage when you had absolute power in your hand?" Xing Cheng suddenly asked.

Lan Cao was puzzled slightly. He followed Xing Chen's gaze and seemed to think of something. "You mean…?"

Xing Chen turned around and said. "Pay attention to them. If you have a chance. Try to pry into their souls."

He paused for a moment and said further. "As for this place, there's no need to monitor further. We won't get anything useful from it."

As he finished his sentence, his figure disappeared from the place.

Lan Cao took a deep look at Wang Zifeng and Xing Guiren for a moment and left.

At this moment, Weilan Xuan appeared beside Xing Guiren and asked. "What happened?"

"We have been tricked." Xing Guiren replied with an ashen expression. "Yun Lintian has complete control of the powerful killing formation inside. Du Renjie and Lei Huizhong were dead almost instantly."

He took a deep breath and said. "Fortunately, we managed to escape in time."

Weilan Xuan frowned slightly and looked at the barrier once again. The barrier was blocking her Spiritual Sense earlier, making her unable to see the situation inside.

However, if it was the case, as Xing Guiren said, it would be extremely difficult to capture Yun Lintian.

"I think he can't use that formation often." Wang Zifeng suddenly said. "Such a powerful formation must consume a lot of resources. Even though Yun Lintian is rich, I don't think he can afford to use it all the time. There must be a chance."

Her eyes were full of unwillingness when she spoke.

Xing Guiren echoed. "That's right. I could feel the suppression from the formation was weakened earlier. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to escape... We must report this to Palace Master as soon as possible."

He got up from the ground with the help of Wang Zifeng and looked at Weilan Xuan, who happened to look at him in doubt. "If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself, Elder Weilan."

As he finished his sentence, his figure flashed and disappeared together with his wife.

Weilan Xuan stared at the Heavenly Cloud Mountain Range for a while before turning around and leaving.

"Here, grandma." Inside the hall, Yun Lintian carefully poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yun Xia before sitting in the seat opposite her.

Yun Xia took a sip of tea and said gently. "Spirit tea… I haven't tasted it for a long time."

Yun Lintian wasn't hurried. He poured himself a cup and slowly savored it, enjoying a temporary peace.

Yun Xia briefly glanced at Qingqing and Linlin, who were nibbling on pastries, and said. "You're truly fortunate to have them accompanied."

Yun Lintian smiled and stroked Linlin's head gently. "Indeed."

"I hope you cherish them well… Don't be like him." Yun Xia said with a faint smile.

"Him?" Yun Lintian was puzzled.

"Beyond Heaven King." Yun Xia replied. "You might wonder who I am, but in fact, I am nothing but a sinner."

As she spoke, her cloudy eyes blurred slightly. It was like she was looking to the past.

Yun Lintian fell silent, as he didn't know what to say at the moment. He knew it was useless to ask her any question, even though he was curious about her relationship with the Beyond Heaven King. It was better to wait for her to speak it out herself.

Yun Xia went silent for a long time before asking. "Having inherited his power for a while now, do you know his name?"

Seeing Yun Lintian shaking his head, she said further. "I see. Those girls are really overprotecting you."

"His name is Yun Tian. Coincidently, both of your names have the same Yun and Tian words." Yun Xia said meaningfully.

"Yun Tian…" Yun Lintian muttered to himself. For some reason, a sense of familiarity arose in his heart when he heard this name.

"His journey started out of an ordinary village located at an extremely remote place in a barren star called Blue Wave. He was an ordinary mortal without a talent since born. On top of that, he was unable to practice because his profound vein was damaged during his mother's pregnancy." Yun Xia said softly.

"However, heaven pitied him a little and gave him a monstrous comprehension ability… Just like you, he was proficient in medical and rune inscription. By relying on these two skills, he was able to earn some wealth and helped his family and the village get out of poverty."

"When he thought he would live his life in peace like this until his death, a disaster eventually came to him."

A trace of reminiscence flashed through her eyes as she continued. "One day, a group of strong practitioners passed by the village and discovered the wealth inside. In the world where the strong prey upon the weak, they naturally didn't care about anything and began to sweep the entire village."

"Several people had lost their lives that day, including his family."

Yun Lintian's heart shook slightly when he heard this.

Yun Xia said further. "He was coincidently going to the city at that time and fortunately avoided the disaster. However, when he returned to the village, everything was gone. He blamed himself for everything. This incident would never happen if he hadn't brought the wealth to the village."

"It's not his fault at all," Linlin said with a frown.

Yun Xia smiled and continued. "From that day onward, he buried himself in a flame of revenge. But before that, he had to do something with his damaged profound vein first. It was at that moment did he discover his profound vein was different from an ordinary practitioner."

"He spent a full eighty years to find a way to repair his profound vein. In the end, he managed to succeed when he was a half-step away from his grave."

She took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. "That's how his journey started."

Yun Lintian sucked in cold air after listening to this point. What kind of perseverance was that? If it was him, he probably gave up a long time ago.
