Myth Beyond Heaven



Yun Lintian stared at the magical scene thoughtfully and was unhurried to break the formation. He had the hunch that whatever was inside would eventually reveal itself very soon.

Thump!

All of a sudden, a powerful heartbeat echoed loudly from the inside of the barrier. Its sound spread throughout the entire Herb Valley, causing everyone outside to stop what they were doing.

Inside the secret room, Cai Yuan abruptly opened his eyes, and his expression turned icy. With a swoosh, his figure disappeared from the place.

"What's going on?" Hao Lie asked solemnly. His intuition told him to run as far as he could, but he knew it was too late now.

The isolating barrier suddenly wore out before Yun Lintian could say anything, revealing the scenery inside.

At this moment, a ten-meter-tall red flower resembling a rose appeared in everyone's sight. Its roots were madly absorbing the blood on the ground, sending it to a huge human-like heart in the middle of the stalk.

Heartbeats thundered in their ears, making everyone's hearts tremble.

"Look at the ground…" Hao Lie's face turned pale as he saw countless human bones scatter beneath the flower.

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this. Without a doubt, these people were brought here for the flower, which also meant someone was purposely raising the flower.

He turned to Ning Yue and asked. "Do you know what this flower is?"

Ning Yue replied in a trembling voice. "Bloody…Fiend… Flower."

"Bloody Fiend Flower?" Yun Lintian rummaged through his head briefly and recalled the information of the Bloody Fiend Flower.

The Bloody Fiend Flower was a divine-rank magical plant. As its name suggested, it required a lot of blood to grow. It was said once it fully matured, it could take a humanoid form and become alive like a human.

Yun Lintian's expression became solemn. Judging from its appearance, this Bloody Fiend Flower was about to reach maturity. It all thanked him for killing all the beasts earlier.

"Hiss!" Suddenly, the flower shook slightly, releasing a faint red mist. Anyone who inhaled this mist would immediately lose their mind and be completely bewitched like the previous profound beasts.

Yun Lintian pulled Hao Lie and Ning Yue behind and made complicated hand seals. Instantly, a powerful golden barrier appeared around them, entirely blocking the red mist.

Yun Lintian took two pieces of clean clothes out and handed them to Ning Yue and Hao Lie. "Wrap your noses up. Don't inhale this red mist."

Ning Yue and Hao Lie returned to their senses and hurriedly did as he said.

"Should we run?" Hao Lie asked hesitantly as he saw Yun Lintian had no intention of attacking the flower.

"Maybe, but not now." Yun Lintian said and raised his head to look at the sky. "This flower is carefully raised by someone. You don't want to know who it is?"

While Ning Yue was confused, Hao Lie seemed to guess something and followed Yun Lintian's gaze.

At this moment, Cai Yuan silently appeared in the sky and glanced at the Bloody Fiend Flower before turning to Yun Lintian's group. "It is actually disturbed by a bunch of ants?"

With a glance, he could see that the three of Yun Lintian weren't even entered a profound divine realm. More precisely, they didn't even reach the Heaven Profound Realm.

Yun Lintian looked at the old man and asked calmly. "If I guess correctly, you should be the Grand Sect Master Cai Yuan."

The eyes of Ning Yue and Hao Lie widened in shock upon hearing this. It turned out this old man was the ancestor of the Profound Pill Sect!

Cai Yuan frowned in surprise. "Since you know me, why don't you run when you have a chance?"

Yun Lintian didn't answer him. He said further. "Your profound vein and meridians are clearly damaged. You can reach the peak of the Divine Spirit Realm because you have forcibly improved your strength by using medicines excessively. Clearly, your innate talent is slightly above average at most."

"Because of this, you finally came up with the idea of raising the Bloody Fiend Flower. Once it fully matures, you will take over its body to make up for your damaged profound vein."

When Cai Yuan appeared, Yun Lintian could immediately see through his damaged, profound vein and meridians. 

Because he had been excessively using medicines over the years, it was impossible for Cai Yuan to treat his damaged profound vein and meridians by ordinary means. Otherwise, his body wouldn't be able to hold on, and his ceiling would be limited.

Hearing this, Cai Yuan took a deep look at Yun Lintian. This time, he realized that Yun Lintian's strength shouldn't be in the Earth Profound Realm as he showed. He must be using a powerful concealing technique right now.

"Who are you? Why did you meddle in my business?" Cai Yuan asked coldly. His body exuded terrifying pressure, causing Ning Yue and Hao Lie to shudder in fright.

Yun Lintian waved his hand gently to disperse Cai Yuan's pressure and said. "Don't try to intimidate us with your aura."

Cai Yuan's expression finally turned solemn. Even if he didn't use his full aura, it was hard for practitioners at the Divine Spirit Realm to disperse it. Let alone solving it by merely waving his hand like this.

"What do you want?" Knowing Yun Lintian wasn't ordinary, Cai Yuan retracted his aura and asked calmly. His attitude was obviously softened.

Yun Lintian smiled knowingly and said. "Let me handle this flower first, and we will talk afterward."

As his voice fell, countless golden swords appeared behind Yun Lintian and rushed toward the Bloody Fiend Flower, forming a golden cage around it. 

Cai Yuan's expression changed drastically. He wanted to make a move, but his instinct held him back. He believed that once he moved, Yun Lintian would immediately attack him.

The flower was furious and tried to break the golden cage, but it was futile. After struggling for a while, its strength gradually declined and completely stopped its action.

Seeing Yun Lintian's power, Cai Yuan felt an inexplicable chill running down his spine. He had the hunch that Yun Lintian could kill him with a casual wave of his hand.

Yun Lintian waved his hand, taking a table, and chairs out before saying. "Come down. Let's talk."
