Myth Beyond Heaven



Shen Huang glanced at Shen Feng and said. "I'll leave this place to you."

"Understood." Shen Feng responded readily.

Shen Huang turned to look at Yun Lintian and said. "Follow me to a place."

"Grandpa!" Suddenly, Shen Yu stepped out and hurriedly said. "I can't accept this. Please reconsider your decision."

Shen Yimu wanted to stop Shen Yu, but it was too late. Even though he couldn't accept the fact that Wu Qingcheng would become the matriarch of the Shen Clan, he didn't dare to go against Shen Huang's decision in the slightest. To him, Shen Yu's action was no different from asking for a beating.

Shen Huang glanced at Shen Yu and asked. "I'll let you fight him. As long as you defeat him, I'll give this position to you."

Shen Yu's face turned unsightly instantly. Yun Lintian had already displayed his heaven-defying battle prowess. Even a God Emperor like Shan Mujin was knocked back two times. What about him?

Seeing Shen Yu remain silent, Shen Huang swept his gaze over everyone and said calmly. "Our Shen Clan always prioritizes interest first. We always respect those who bring the most value to our clan. Have you all forgotten about it?"

Shen Yu wanted to argue that Wu Qingcheng was simply lucky to meet Yun Lintian but held back in the end. Anyway, luck was also a part of one's strength.

Meanwhile, Shen Yan looked at Yun Lintian in a complicated mood. This position should belong to her, but her arrogance and overconfidence cost everything. Had she treated Yun Lintian sincerely from the beginning, she believed that Yun Lintian wouldn't go this far to put Wu Qingcheng in the position.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Shen Yan's face. She shook her head and walked away.

"Your Magnificence, please help Third Young Master." Shen San suddenly came forward with Shen Yin in his hand. The poison had already spread to every corner of Shen Yin's body, turning his entire body green.

Shen Huang pointed his finger at Shen Yin, and a blue light shot out toward the latter. In the next moment, Shen Yin's skin gradually returned to normal, but there was still a residual poison in his body.

Yun Lintian was slightly surprised to see this scene. The poison he made was capable enough to make even a Divine Emperor difficult to suppress. Shen Huang could actually suppress it with a flicker of his finger… A God Emperor was indeed something.

Yun Lintian didn't say anything and disappeared from the place before returning with Wu Qingcheng and Wu Liwei a few minutes later. 

Wu Qingcheng and Wu Liwei looked at the scene in shock. The magnificent city was now turned into piles of debris. The moment the first heavenly tribulation lightning struck down, Wu Qingcheng immediately took her father away from the city. This move allowed them to survive the disaster.

Wu Qingcheng looked at Yun Lintian and asked. "What's going on?"

Yun Lintian took the Mystic Seal out and handed it to Wu Qingcheng. "Congratulations. You are a matriarch of the Shen Clan now."

"What!?" Wu Qingcheng was baffled. It was until Yun Lintian stuffed the seal in her hand that she regained her sense.

Wu Liwei was even more shocked. Both father and daughter were nothing but a pair of ants not long ago. Why did they suddenly become a phoenix now?

"Let's go." Yun Lintian didn't explain much and brought the two away, following Shen Huang back to the Shen Clan.

After they left, Shen Yu couldn't endure anymore and turned to look at Shen Feng. "Father, you have to do something. How could we let trash like her ride on our heads?"

"Patriarch, we are not convinced here," Shen Yimu also said. "Even if she sat in the position, no one would listen to her command. At that time, our Shen Clan would certainly fall apart."

"That's right. We don't accept her." Shen San echoed.

The same went for the other elders. Most of them couldn't accept the fact that they were going to have a kid like Wu Qingcheng as their master soon.

Shen Feng glanced at everyone and said calmly. "If it wasn't for her, all of you wouldn't stand here right now."

Shen Yu was still unconvinced as he retorted. "He clearly borrowed the heavenly might. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to threaten us."

"Borrowed the heavenly might?" Shen Feng looked at his eldest son sharply. "Why don't you try to borrow it for me to see?"

"I…" Shen Yu immediately choked on words. If he could borrow it, why would he stand here? He would sit in the patriarch position a long time ago.

"Still, Wu Qingcheng and Yun Lintian are different persons. No matter how close they are, he won't be there for her forever." Shen San quickly argued.

Shen Feng turned to Shen San and said. "You are the Third Elder of the Shen Clan who has lived for tens of thousands of years. Yet your mind is no different from a child."

"It's true that Yun Lintian wouldn't stay here to help her all the time, but as long as he's still alive, he could come back at any moment. And you can see how abnormal his strength is. Once he steps into the Divine Sovereign or even just the Divine King Realm, who could be his opponent? Not to mention the strange dragon soul he displayed earlier."

Shen Feng paused briefly and said further. "It wasn't that all of you here had never experienced the might of the Beyond Heaven King in the past. His successor is even more freaky than him. His Magnificence saw this potential and decided to invest in him through Wu Qingcheng."

Shen San's face became unsightly after being scolded. However, Shen Huang's words were like a slap waking him up from his delusion. Once Yun Lintian reached the top, wouldn't the Shen Clan benefit from it? And even if he died halfway, they could abolish Wu Qingcheng at that time.

"Patriarch is indeed right. I am too shortsighted." Shen San said.

"I'm no longer a patriarch." Shen Feng said calmly. "Remember, no matter what happens in the future, Wu Qingcheng is a descendant of our Shen Clan. She has our Shen Clan's blood running in her body. This is an undeniable truth."

Everyone immediately went silent. They weren't stupid enough to not know the meanings behind Shen Feng's words. If they dared to touch Wu Qingcheng openly or in secret, they would undoubtedly be punished.

Shen Feng said nothing further and signaled everyone to take care of the aftermath…
