Myth Beyond Heaven



"What do you mean by that?" Yun Lintian didn't quite understand.

"The Heavenhold Realm is unique because the entire star can be shut at will by Tian Yuhan. If she doesn't want anyone to leave, no one can. This includes all the communications." Shen Yan explained.

"But that means we have to tell her about my identity, right?" Yun Lintian asked.

"No. I already told her to close the realm to hide my identity." Shen Yan chuckled. "Tell me. How are you going to repay me?"

Yun Lintian ignored her and fell into contemplation. Once again, he felt that coming here wasn't a coincidence. It was as if the person who pulled his string of fate had predicted this outcome ahead of time. With the Heavenhold Realm's unique ability, he didn't need to be afraid of being exposed at all.

  Tian Hualing glanced at the two and remained silent. Although she didn't know what they were talking about, it wasn't difficult to guess. Shen Yan must be persuading Yun Lintian to accept the test.

"Really. What other options do I have?" Yun Lintian asked again. He still didn't want to participate in this meaningless competition.

"I can't bring you back with me, as you know. It's not safe there once they know your identity. And I also don't think it's a good idea for you to wander around in this kind of situation." Shen Yan spread her arms. "So, this is your best bet."

Yun Lintian went silent for a moment and turned to Tian Hualing. "Senior, can you guarantee there won't be another test like this one afterward?"

Tian Hualing looked at Yun Lintian thoughtfully. For some reason, she suddenly felt that Yun Lintian didn't want to participate in the competition, not because his strength was insufficient but for other reasons. It was as if he didn't want to show himself in public.

"Can you tell me why?" Tian Hualing asked in doubt.

Yun Lintian took his personal token out and showed it to her. "I am an honorable elder of the Divine Alchemy Association. I don't think it's a good idea for me to join in such an event. Furthermore, if you want to test me, why don't we have a sparring match here?"

Tian Hualing shook her head. "Unfortunately, I can't agree with you. First of all, our Heavenhold Sect always has this tradition where a disciple of the Realm King must come from the Heavenhold Divine Academy. So, even if I vouched for you, others would ultimately disagree."

"Secondly, our Realm King is different from the previous generations. She attaches great importance to the sect's tradition. No matter what kind of status you have, you still need to prove yourself according to her wishes."

She glanced at Shen Yan and said further. "Look. She didn't care about the Young Miss Shen of the Mystic God Realm. Even if the Mystic God Emperor comes forward himself, I don't think our Realm King will agree with his request."

Shen Yan added. "In short, she's a very stubborn woman."

Yun Lintian frowned deeply upon hearing this. He didn't expect things to be this troublesome. While he could stay here and try to practice by himself, the progress speed must be plodding compared to the so-called Heavenhold Secret Land. Yun Lintian didn't want to waste his time that much.

After thinking for a long while, Yun Lintian nodded and said. "Alright. I'll participate in it. However, I don't know if I can still join the event."

"It's not a problem. I've prepared everything. Hopefully, you don't disappoint me." Tian Hualing said with a faint smile. She wanted to see what kind of strength Yun Lintian had to make Shen Yan come forward for him.

"There are two days before the banquet starts." Shen Yan said gently. "Good luck."

Yun Lintian didn't say anything further and went to Ning Yue's side, continuing to teach her.

***

Inside Zhao Shuimu's residence, Yao An carefully checked the surrounding before erecting an isolating barrier.

Seeing that everything was fine, Yao An entered the living room and sat opposite Zhao Shuimu, who was leisurely reading a book.

"That Concubine Ximen is no longer useful. Her body is too weak. I cannot harvest her Yin energy anymore." Yao An complained while pouring himself a cup of tea.

Zhao Shuimu put the book down and looked at Yao An with a hint of dissatisfaction. "Didn't I tell you before to slowly absorb it? Why did you hasten your progress?"

Yao An didn't seem to care about Zhao Shuimu's dissatisfaction. He took a gulp of tea and said. "We've been staying here for almost a hundred years now. How long are you going to wait further?"

Zhao Shuimu's face turned cold. "It's not the right time. The fortune hasn't reached its limit yet."

"Screw it." Yao An sneered. "I would definitely die before you could harvest the fortune here. What's wrong with me doing this? Besides, that Ximen woman will eventually die in a few days. It doesn't make a difference here."

Zhao Shuimu stared at Yao An coldly for a while before calming down. "Forget it. What's done is done… How's your recovery?"

Yao An smiled wretchedly. "Although her foundation is weak, her Yin energy is quite abundant. As expected from a woman who gave birth to a child… I've recovered more than seventy percent of my strength. As long as I absorb that little princess's vital Yin, I will definitely be recovered fully."

Zhao Shuimu closed his eyes and began to count his fingers. A moment later, he opened his eyes and said. "You can't touch her during this period. Her fortune is on rising. Once you touch her, you will certainly encounter a mishap."

"What!? How come?" Yao An frowned in dissatisfaction. "Don't tell me it's because of that man named Lin Tian?"

Zhao Shuimu didn't confirm directly as he said. "I've already contacted my master. He will arrive here soon."

Yao An was surprised. "That's great."

Zhao Shuimu took a deep look at him and said. "You better be honest during this period."

Yao An showed his yellow teeth and said. "Don't worry. That's my thing."

Zhao Shuimu said nothing further and continued to read the book. However, a strange glint in the depths of his eyes seemed to reflect what he was thinking currently…
