Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian recognized the "Kunlun God" as a practitioner his father had mentioned. The secrets within Kunlun Mountain were likely his legacy. However, he was curious about any recent discoveries.

"They've found something in recent years," the old woman spoke. "By the way, you can call me Granny Ma."

Yun Lintian handed her ten gold coins. "What is it, Granny Ma?"

Granny Ma tucked the coins away with a satisfied smile. "Legend speaks of a secret realm deep in the mountains. They've been trying to open it."

Yun Lintian nodded thoughtfully. His father wouldn't have directed him here without a reason. This secret realm could be part of it.

Just then, Big Bamboo emerged with a tray of pastries and a tea set.

Granny Ma and Second Egg wasted no time. They poured tea for everyone and devoured the pastries with gusto.

"As always, Sister Big Bamboo, your cooking is divine!" Second Egg praised, giving her a thumbs up.

Big Bamboo dismissed the compliment with a wave of her hand. "Don't be a flatterer. There won't be any extra portions for you."

Yun Lintian didn't mind it and took a sip of tea. "Not bad at all."

"Right?" Second Egg chimed in. "Our tea is the finest in the area."

Yun Lintian turned to Second Egg. "Tell me about the factions here. Who holds the most power?"

This time, he forwent offering gold coins.

Second Egg's disappointment was evident, but he understood the need for restraint. "There are four prominent sects here: the Kunlun Sect, Mount Shu Sect, Jade Peak Sect, and the Silver Moon Sect. The undisputed leader is, of course, the Kunlun Sect."

"How powerful are they?" Yun Lintian inquired, offering five gold coins in exchange for more information.

Second Egg's face lit up. "While I'm not well-versed in the intricacies of the profound path, rumor has it that Senior Lin Feng, the current leader of the Kunlun Sect, has ascended to godhood."

"It's the God Ascension Realm," Granny Ma corrected. "Not only him but the other sect masters as well. They've all reached the God Ascension Realm."

With a scrutinizing gaze upon Yun Lintian, she added, "Young man, you seem extraordinary, but I feel obligated to warn you: avoid confrontation with them."

Yun Lintian smiled and placed ten gold coins in front of Granny Ma. "Thank you for the advice, Granny Ma. I have no intention of stirring trouble. There's no need to worry."

Granny Ma's smile widened as she swiftly pocketed the gold coins as if fearing they might disappear.

Granny Ma continued, "You might wonder why everyone seems unafraid of practitioners here. It's simple. The world adheres to the Kunlun God's benevolent teachings. No one dares to trouble ordinary people like us."

Yun Lintian nodded in understanding. He wasn't surprised, considering the Kunlun God's clear care towards Earth. This place was quite similar to Earth but with a profound energy permeating the environment.

"The ceremony will begin next week," Granny Ma informed him. "You still have time. Head east from here, and you'll find Kunlun Mountain. However, you need to go by your feet when you're nearing the mountain. Some people there don't like someone flying over their heads."

"Thank you for the information," Yun Lintian responded politely.

"Well, it's time for me to prepare dinner for my grandson," Granny Ma announced, taking a portion of pastries. "I'll be on my way. You're welcome to stay the night here. It's very cheap."

She smiled and departed.

Second Egg sighed. "She's a kind soul."

Indeed, Granny Ma could have kept the business entirely for herself, yet she shared it with him. Second Egg held genuine gratitude for her.

Yun Lintian turned to him with a question. "You seem talented. Why not pursue the profound path?"

Second Egg chuckled. "I'm not cut out for it. A life of violence and competition isn't for me. Everyone here feels the same way, preferring a peaceful life. Of course, this peace is made possible by the Kunlun God."

As he spoke, he clasped his hands and bowed his head respectfully.

Yun Lintian didn't press for further details. He looked at Big Bamboo and said, "We'll be staying tonight."

"Wonderful!" Big Bamboo beamed. "We've prepared rooms for you already. Please, follow me."

Yun Lintian turned to Second Egg with a kind gesture. "You can take those pastries."

"Thank you, sir!" Second Egg exclaimed, overjoyed.

Yun Lintian's group followed Big Bamboo up to the second floor.

Once inside their room, Yun Lintian erected a simple isolation barrier and turned to his companions. "Does anyone else find this odd?"

"What's wrong?" Nantian Fengyu asked, her confusion evident.

Zhang Yu chimed in with a frown. "Indeed. While I haven't visited any other top realms, there's no doubt this place is among them. It's peculiar how outsiders seem so respectful of the rules here."

The interactions they had today, particularly with Second Egg and Granny Ma, demonstrated a complete lack of fear towards outsiders. It was as if they held absolute faith that no outsider would cause problems.

Logically, even the bravest mortals would harbor some degree of apprehension towards powerful practitioners. Yet, the people here exhibited no such fear.

Zhang Yu found it difficult to believe that no trouble had ever befallen the Kunlun Realm. After all, its abundant resources and exceptional environment were undeniable draws.

"There's definitely a secret here," Yun Yi declared. "We'll likely uncover it when we reach Kunlun Mountain."

Yun Lintian pondered for a moment before speaking. "Let's seek out Senior Lan. Perhaps she has some knowledge about this."

With that, he summoned the Gate of Beyond Heaven and stepped through.

"Lintian? Is everything alright?" Lynn inquired with concern upon seeing Yun Lintian's group arrive.

"Everything is fine. We just wanted to speak with Senior Lan," Yun Lintian replied reassuringly. "Right, you three should join us."

He gestured towards another nearby gate and entered it.

"Understood," Lynn, Yang Ningchang and Lei Hao followed Yun Lintian through the gate.

"You've arrived," Lan Qinghe greeted Yun Lintian, setting down her teacup. Her gaze briefly scanned Lynn, Yang Ningchang, and Lei Hao. "New women?"

Fortunately, Yun Lintian possessed a thick skin. Unfazed by the question, he readily admitted, "Yes. This is Lynn, Ningchang, and my good brother Lei Hao."

Turning to the three, he introduced them, "This is Senior Lan."

"Greetings, Senior Lan," the three bowed their heads respectfully.

Lan Qinghe easily saw through Yun Lintian's intentions. "Are you planning to leave them here again?" she inquired.

"Yes," Yun Lintian honestly admitted. "Additionally, I have a question regarding the Kunlun Realm."
