Myth Beyond Heaven

Jian Wuming seemed to perceive Yun Lintian's gaze. He turned to look at the latter and said apologetically. "I am sorry for arriving late and letting you suffer, Divine Master Lin. If you want this old man to do something, please don't hesitate to say it."

"Divine Master?" Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly.

Jian Wuming quickly explained. "According to the ancestor, anyone who could pull the Heavenly Sword must be regarded as a divine master. And our Heavenly Sword Palace exists to serve the said divine master."

Yun Lintian took a deep look at Jian Wuming and could see the latter's sincerity. Unexpectedly, this person was loyal to Qing Xiaoting. As for letting Jian Xu rise in power, perhaps he wanted to use him to test Yun Lintian's strength.

It was as if Jian Wuming could see through Yun Lintian's thoughts. He quickly said. "I have offended the Divine Master. Please forgive me."

Yun Lintian smiled and said casually. "No need to apologize. It's normal to be cautious against an unknown person like me."

Jian Wuming heaved a sigh of relief. He had considered various aspects and chose to do it in the end. If Yun Lintian had turned out to be an ordinary person with great luck, it would be difficult to serve him wholeheartedly. Let alone convince everyone below. Hence, it was necessary to test Yun Lintian's character and strength.

Yun Lintian said further. "As for serving me, there's no need for that. I will leave and probably won't come back again."

Jian Wuming seemed to expect this beforehand. He replied calmly. "Divine Master Lin doesn't need to preside over the palace himself. Since we have decided to serve you, we naturally do our best."

"With your divine power, I believe you will face many obstacles along the profound path. If there's something you cannot deal with or even a trivial thing, Divine Master Lin can hand the task over to us. Although our Heavenly Sword Palace is inferior to the Star Gazing, Azure, and Myriad Pill Palace, we aren't afraid of them."

Yun Lintian smiled meaningfully. "Look like you have done a lot of homework. No wonder you can become the palace master."

Jian Wuming's statement implied that he knew about the conflicts between Yun Lintian and the three palaces. If a battle between them occurred in the future, they wouldn't hesitate to fight on Yun Lintian's side.

"This old man thanks Divine Master Lin for the compliment." Jian Wuming smiled faintly.

"Since you knew about this, have you figured out my true identity?" Yun Lintian asked with a smile.

Jian Wuming nodded gently. "This old man can guess more or less." He paused for a moment and continued cautiously. "A few months ago, there was a disturbance on the Western Continent. The head of the Sky Qilin Clan and the Fire Cloud Rat Clan had sacrificed themselves to deal with a great enemy. The clues stopped at this."

"However, this old man always felt something was missing and checked it personally. Later, I found out about the Tree of Life and Du Huanfeng. Since he couldn't get the Tree of Life, who took it away?"

He raised his head slightly to look at Yun Lintian. "This old man then discovered a clue related to a young man who claimed to be the Fire Cloud Rat Clan's disciple. It later revealed that he is human and has a conflict with Du Huanfeng."

"This old man followed the clues back to the beginning of the conflict between Du Huanfeng and this person and found something in the end."

He took a deep breath and said. "If I guess correctly, Divine Master Lin's real identity should be Yun Lintian from the Northern Continent."

A hint of admiration appeared in Yun Lintian's eyes as he said. "Well, you are very smart."

Although he left so many clues behind, it was difficult to identify his identity. Taking Xing Renshu as an example. He had the Star Pavilion in his hand, yet it took him a long time to figure out his identity. If it wasn't for Du Huanfeng to reveal it by himself, perhaps Xing Renshu would have just found out today.

Yun Lintian waved his hand and returned to his original appearance. "Let me introduce myself again. I am Yun Lintian from the Misty Cloud Sect."

"Misty Cloud Sect?" A strange light flashed through Jian Wuming's eyes as he recalled something.

"Are you a descendant of Senior Yun Wushuang?" Qing Xiaoting, who remained silent for all this time, suddenly asked.

She took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. "Your appearance is similar to hers."

Yun Lintian was taken aback for a second and shook his head. "I'm not her descendant. I don't even know her existence before."

Qing Xiaoting stared at Yun Lintian for a long time and said. "I see. Now everything makes sense."

Yun Lintian was puzzled. What makes sense?

He couldn't help asking. "You know her? As far as I know, not many people can remember her existence."

"Yes, I do know her personally. Because of her that this Azure World is still existing." Qing Xiaoting replied.

"Where did she go now?" Yun Lintian asked further.

Qing Xiaoting pointed to the sky while replying. "She was forced to leave this world under the conspiracy of Xing Tengfei and Weilan Jian. Since then, no one has ever seen her again."

She paused for a moment and said further. "Don't worry. She's similar to you. Her strength is defying heaven. Xing Tengfei and Weilan Jian wanted to subdue her as they believed she possessed a huge secret."

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and asked. "Since these two old fogeys are still alive, why don't they go to my sect directly?"

Qing Xiaoting shook her head. "They don't dare. Once Senior Yun returns, their descendants will be wiped out if they do something to her sect… Besides, there isn't anything useful over there. Senior Yun is a smart person. She won't leave anything that harms her people behind."

A strange expression appeared on Yun Lintian's face. It was obvious she left the Beyond Heaven King's Crown behind. If those two knew about this, the Misty Cloud Sect would have long ceased to exist before he came to this world.

"Hongyue, is this Yun Wushuang related to the Beyond Heaven King?" Yun Lintian asked.

"It can be yes and no. She found the Beyond Heaven King's Crown." Hongyue replied calmly.

Yun Lintian didn't inquire further. He looked at Qing Xiaoting and asked. "Who are you exactly?"
