Myth Beyond Heaven

"You will know it when he comes out later. As for now, all of you should go back first. This place will be restricted for everyone, including you and your father." Shen Ning's voice resounded.

At the same time, a powerful force gushed out, enveloping the entire building and completely blocking everyone from entering.

Yun Qianxue stared at the top of the building, where the ice mist gathered heaviest. She could feel that Yun Lintian was there.

"Big Brother Yun?" Qingqing tilted her head slightly. She was connected with Yun Lintian, and she could feel his current state. It was as though he had entered an enlightening state without moving an inch.

"What happened to him?" Han Bingling glanced at Qingqing in her arms and asked curiously.

Everyone quickly turned to look at Qingqing as she replied. "Big Brother Yun is practicing right now… His strength increases very fast."

As she spoke, she yawned and rubbed her eyes. "Qingqing is sleepy. Can I go back?"

"Practicing?" Han Bingling and the others were surprised. Wasn't this place a library?

"Let's go." Lin Xinyao glanced briefly at the top of the building and pulled Yun Qianxue and the others away.

On the side, Qin Mei hesitated briefly and asked. "Uncle Ning, what about Qiu'er?"

"She's fine. You don't have to worry." Shen Ning's voice resounded.

Qin Mei put the worries in her heart down and said. "Thank you, Uncle Ning."

She then turned to her husband and Shen Shuchun. "Let's go back first."

Shen Mingjun reluctantly nodded and left.

***

A month passed by very quickly. During this period, the snowfall on Mirage Island didn't reduce in the slightest. With Shen Mingjun coming out to explain, the islanders gradually calmed down and continued their daily life normally.

However, there was naturally a group of people dissatisfied with the change in the weather. With transportation between the island and the outside world becoming increasingly difficult because of the sea beast tide recently, the materials on the island began to deplete and gradually entered a resource shortage state.

Inside the main hall, Shen Mingjun and the other elders discussed the island's current situation. They were trying to solve the resource shortage.

"Actually, this problem is not without a solution." One of the elders, named Shen De, said. He looked at Shen Mingjun and continued. "We should try to borrow the skyship from our guests. From what I know, its speed is several times faster than our skyship. This will solve the problem very quickly."

The other elders immediately nodded in agreement. The skyship was parked behind the manor for a whole month. It would be a waste to leave it dust like this.

Shen Mingjun frowned slightly. In fact, he had a better method to solve it. During this month, Yun Lingwei had personally set up a grand teleporting formation in secret. It had successfully connected to the Northern Continent, Southern Continent, and Central Continent.

He could use the formation to import resources directly. However, he didn't want to reveal it to anyone. At least, not now.

He thought for a moment and said. "Let me ask them first."

Shen De nodded slightly and moved to the next topic. "The sea beast tides have occurred more often in the last two weeks. They have now begun to attack our coastal line. If this continues, I'm afraid we will enter a state of war soon. At that time, the resource shortage problem will surely worsen."

He paused for a moment and said further. "From the news we got, the other continents are facing the same problem as us now. The beast tide often erupts all over the place, and the price of the resources such as formation stones, low-level medicines, and even crops has increased several folds. If we don't hurry up and stockpile them now, it will soon become a fatal problem."

"Moreover, we have no idea how long this upcoming war will last. I suggest that we should aim at least for two hundred years to be safe."

The hall fell silent immediately. Shen De had spoken for everyone already. There was nothing more to add. Everything was up to Shen Mingjun now.

Shen Mingjun thought of the resources Yun Lintian gave him. They were more than enough to nurture more talents for a hundred years. However, he still needed to buy other resources like the formation stones.

After thinking for a moment, he turned to a middle-aged woman beside him. This person was Shen Qian, the clan's treasurer. "How's our current fund?"

"We have a total of thirty billion of the high-grade Profound Stones left. If we want to stockpile resources enough for two hundred years, I don't think it's enough to buy all of them with the current market." Shen Qian replied solemnly.

Shen Mingjun tapped his finger on the table for a while and made a decision. "Bring all the Profound Stones. We will use all of them to buy medicines, formation tones, and necessary rations."

Shen Qian frowned slightly and said. "But…"

Before she could say anything further, Shen Mingjun placed a storage ring on the table and said. "Take a look at it."

Shen Qian subconsciously used her Spiritual Sense to check on the storage ring. In the next moment, her eyes widened in disbelief. "Patriarch, this… Where did you get it from?"

Her reactions immediately aroused everyone's curiosity. They quickly used their Spiritual Sense to sweep over the ring. Soon, their expressions were no different from Shen Qian's.

They had lived for so long, and this was the first time they saw such massive wealth. Several mountains of the best-grade Profound Stones could be seen inside the ring. It should be around ten billion in total.

"It was given by Yun Lintian." Shen Mingjun replied truthfully. "Before coming here, we have made an agreement to form an alliance between us, the Divine Phoenix Palace, the Blazing Sun Palace, the Frozen Moon Palace, the Heavenly Sword Palace, and the Long Clan of the Central Continent. These resources are the benefits."

Shen Qian and the others were shocked. To be able to give out such massive wealth. How rich Yun Lintian was?

"Hmm?" Shen Mingjung suddenly frowned and subconsciously looked outside.

At this moment, the snowfall visibly reduced, and the coldness gradually faded. The sunlight they hadn't seen for so long slowly shone down from the sky. Evidently, the weather was about to change…
