Myth Beyond Heaven



Li Gen looked at the customers in the hall and said. "The shop is closed now. You don't have to pay it today."

The customers glanced at each other and turned to stare at Yun Lintian with a hint of greed. The moment Li Gen announced, they knew that Yun Lintian was an outsider who had come here to hire him.

"Do you need a crew member, Boss Li?" One of the customers asked boldly.

"Yes, Boss Li. We won't take much. Just ten thousand Divine Stones are enough." Another person echoed.

Li Gen looked at the speakers and said calmly. "I am going to the Black Immortal Palace. Of course, you can come with me."

When everyone heard the words "Black Immortal Palace," they immediately shrank back with a hint of fear in their eyes. They also looked at Yun Lintian as if he were an idiot.

Seeing that no one spoke again, Li Gen continued. "Let's go. You can take all the food away."

The customers could only reluctantly leave with the plates in their hands. No matter how greedy they were, they didn't dare to gamble with their lives. What was the point of earning money if it ultimately leads to death?

Li Gen locked the door and walked to a tool room behind the building.

When Yun Lintian entered the room, he immediately saw a big sailing boat constructed from bones. With a glance, he could see that they were human bones.

Chen Lin noticed Yun Lintian's expression and quickly explained. "This must be Senior's first time coming here. The black water in the ocean is highly toxic, and only the indigenous people's bones can withstand it."

"In the past, people did not know how to venture into the ocean until they discovered floating bones. Everyone simply uses the bones of the deceased to build a boat since then. It's the only way for us to access the ocean."

Yun Lintian nodded slowly and asked. "Then what's the use of these clothes?"

"It will protect us for a period of time, providing us with enough time to climb back onto a boat." Chen Lin answered.

Yun Lintian didn't ask anything further and watched as Li Gen stored the boat in his ring.

"Let's depart." Li Gen said and opened the back door, leading everyone toward the ocean.

While Yun Lintian's group was leaving the building, a thin man from the previous customers had already made his way to a black building not far from Li Gen's tavern.

"Why are you here?" A guard stared at the newcomer and asked coldly.

"My lord, we have something to report to Lord Hei. It's about Li Gen. He got a new customer." The thin man said.

The guard frowned slightly and said. "Follow me."

The thin man was delighted and quickly followed the guard into the building.

The two of them arrived on the third floor, and the guard knocked on a black door at the end of the corridor. "My lord, I have brought someone here. He said that Li Gen has just acquired a new customer."

"Come in." A hoarse voice resonated from inside.

The guard looked at the thin man and said coldly. "Just tell him what you know. Don't talk nonsense."

"I know, I know." The thin man nodded enthusiastically.

The thin man entered the room and saw a middle-aged man clad in a black robe staring at him with a cold expression. He hurriedly bowed his head. "The little man greets Lord Hei."

Hei Jin, the man in black, placed ten mid-grade Divine Stones on the table and said. "They are yours as long as you tell me about Li Gen."

The thin man greedily stared at the Divine Stones and quickly spoke. "A young man who appears to be no older than sixty visited Li Gen's shop this morning. His actions were very strange, and he was obviously an outsider."

"I don't know what they were talking about, but Li Gen immediately closed the shop an hour later. At first, some of us thought it would be an easy job like before, and we were eager to go with him. However, Li Gen told us their destination was the Black Immortal Palace."

A cold glint flashed through Hei Jin's eyes when he heard the latter part. He asked. "What did the man look like?"

"He must use a disguise technique. I cannot see through him. There was also a little girl, a feral cat, and a bird by his side." The thin man answered. "No matter how I looked at him, he didn't appear powerful."

Hei Jin asked further. "That's it?"

The thin man nodded heavily. "There is nothing more, sir."

Hei Jin stared at the thin man momentarily, then threw the Divine Stones at him. "Take it and leave."

"Thank you, sir." The thin man was overjoyed and quickly picked up the Divine Stones before hastily leaving.

After the thin man left, the guard glanced at Hei Jin and noticed him motioning with his chin. A sinister smile appeared on the guard's face as he briskly walked away.

Hei Jin tapped his finger on the table for a moment and said. "Su Heng. Call our crew and prepare the boat. We are going fishing today."

"Yes, My Lord." A cold voice resonated from somewhere in the room.

Hei Jin leaned back slightly and muttered to himself. "It has been a long time, and finally, someone has appeared."

***

Li Gen led Yun Lintian and Chen Lin to the beach, which was a few kilometers away from the camp. There was no one living in this place, and it was eerily quiet.

Li Gen quickly scanned his surroundings before retrieving the boat and placing it onto the dark water. The moment the boat landed, it caused the black water to splash onto the beach.

Yun Lintian stared attentively at the beach where the black water had landed. He quickly noticed the water evaporated into a black mist, emitting a pungent smell.

"How disgusting." Qingqing pinched her nose and said with an expression of disgust.

Yun Lintian waved his hand to disperse the smell and asked. "How long does it take to get there?"

"It should take approximately two months at a normal speed." Li Gen answered.

"Two months? That's quite long." Yun Lintian frowned slightly. "Let's go."

As he spoke, he quickly boarded the boat.

Li Gen and Chen Lin quickly followed suit. They grabbed the bone paddles and quickly set off.

After Yun Lintian's group left for a few minutes, Hei Jin and his companions arrived at the location. They gazed in the direction Yun Lintian had gone.

"Put the boat down." Hei Jin waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately launched a massive ship into the dark ocean...
