Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Qianxue stood in the place for a long time before throwing a fireball onto Qi Qianxing's headless body. Soon, his body was reduced to ashes and scattered by a cold breeze, leaving a pool of blood behind.

"When everything ends, this disciple will come back and rebuild this place." Yun Qianxue said with a serious expression.

Just as she was about to put the Misty Cloud Divine Sword away, it suddenly vibrated and glowed in a deep blue light before shooting toward the former main hall.

Yun Qianxue was surprised and quickly followed the sword. Soon, the sword stabbed into a pile of debris that seemed to be the Misty Cloud Throne before.

Yun Qianxue scanned the place for a moment before gently grabbing the sword. Instantly, an illusory figure appeared before her. This person had no face, but Yun Qianxue could identify gender from the figure. It was a woman.

"Are you a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect?" The illusory figure asked. Her voice was ethereal as if it was transmitted across space and time.

Yun Qianxue's eyes flickered slightly. Her intuition told her this person was reliable. She answered truthfully. "Report Senior. This junior is the fourteenth Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect."

"Fourteenth? Not the current one?" The illusory figure was puzzled.

Yun Qianxue shook her head gently. "I had stepped down not long ago. The current sect master was Yun Lintian. A talented disciple of our sect."

"Yun Lintian… A man?" The illusory figure asked further.

"Yes," Yun Qianxue replied. "Nineteen years ago,  a mysterious woman brought him to the sect and let me adopt him as my son."

"I see." The illusory figure said gently. For some reason, Yun Qianxue felt that this person seemed to understand something.

"Senior, may I know your identity?" Yun Qianxue asked.

"I am the second generation of the Misty Cloud Sect." The illusory figure responded. "I left a wisp of my soul behind in order to allow the latter generation to make a preparation in time."

"Disciple Yun Qianxue has seen Second Ancestor." Yun Qianxue bowed her head ninety degrees. "May I know what kind of preparation?"

The illusory figure swept around the place and said. "I see."

She paused for a moment and continued. "Our Sect Founder had left a warning behind regarding the forces from the Abyssal World: 'Do not trust the Azure Palace and the Star Gazing Palace. And if it is possible, stay away from them until you have enough strength to deal with them.' That was the first part."

"As for the second part, wait until you step into the Monarch Profound Realm. Her message would eventually appear on the divine sword."

Yun Qianxue's eyes narrowed slightly. "This disciple understood." She hesitated briefly and asked. "Can Second Ancestor tell me whether the First Ancestor is still alive?"

The illusory figure replied after a short moment of silence. "Honestly, I do not know myself. Back then, she had been calculated by Xing Tengfei and Weilan Jian, but she managed to survive and returned to make an arrangement before disappearing. Counting her unparalleled power, I do believe that she's alive somewhere. My speculation is she has ascended to the Divine Realm."

She paused for a moment and asked. "Tell me about the current situation and why this place became like this?"

Yun Qianxue thought for a moment and began to narrate everything from the beginning to the present. Of course, she omitted Yun Lintian's secrets. She simply described him as a peerless genius who could potentially revitalize the sect.

After listening to the narration, the illusory figure went silent for a long time. A while later, she said. "It seems they have already started." She looked at Yun Qianxue and continued. "I can see your talent is not ordinary. Perhaps you could truly bring back our sect's glory in the near future. However, you have, after all, recently stepped into the Saint Profound Realm. Your current strength is not enough to fight those hidden old monsters."

"If the situation is not optimistic, there's no need to be ashamed to escape. You don't have to attach yourself to this Misty Cloud Peak either. It's just a place. You can come back and restore it after eliminating all the threats."

"This disciple understood." Yu Qianxue responded solemnly.

The illusory figure said further. "This Azure World is too special. Otherwise, I would go back and erase those people by now."

Yun Qianxue's expression changed slightly. "Second Ancestor, are you…."

"I'm still alive. However, my current situation is no different from dead. You will understand when you ascend to the Divine Realm in the future." The illusory figure sighed slightly. "Just remember. Do not ascend recklessly until you reach the peak of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm."

"Alright. My time is up. Remember what I told you well. Be aware of the Azure Palace and the Star Gazing Palace… Well, the Myriad Pill Palace, too. Don't let them know your background." The illusory figure said in a heavy voice. "Once you step into the Monarch Profound Realm, you will understand everything about our sect."

As her voice fell, her figure gradually faded away and completely vanished in the next breath.

Yun Qianxue stood in the place for a long while before retrieving the sword. A cold glint flashed through her eyes. It seemed she had made up her mind and regarded the Azure Palace and the Star Gazing Palace as the number one enemy.

She looked at the place for one last time before floating into the air and heading to the Profound Sky Divine City… Lintian. I hope you're doing well.

BOOM!

Above the Profound Sky Divine City, an earth-shattering explosion occurred as several figures engaged in a fierce battle.

"Hehehe. You better give up, Tian Gouwei. You're not going to win us with your trump card." Peng Fuyin laughed heartily after repelling Principal Tian's attack.

Standing beside him were two white-haired old men. Each one of them possessed an aura at the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm. They were the Sect Master of the White Feather Sect and the Violent Gale Sect, respectively.

Principal Tian, whose real name was Tian Gouwei, stood calmly in the air and looked at Peng Fuyin expressionlessly. "In the past, my ancestor showed his kindness and saved your life from the blink of death. Not only did you try to harm him, but you also stole his treasure and used it to threaten him. I have never seen such an ungrateful person like you."
