Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2151 Vicious Cycle (2)

?"In the end," Tian He said further, a trace of regret flickering in his eyes. "He became isolated, with no choice but to entrust everything to the next generation, the Beyond Heaven King Yun Tian."

"As for the other inheritors, some went into hiding, while others... well, they weren't so fortunate. I, for one, was lucky enough to cling to my own meager existence."

A chill ran down Yun Lintian's spine as the truth he'd been chasing began to reveal itself. Yet, the question of why the Beyond Heaven King selected him as his heir remained unanswered.

"So, everyone has their own agenda," Yun Lintian muttered, the warmth from the fading sunlight unable to dispel the sudden chill that crept into his heart.

He glanced at Tian He, who remained stoic, his face an unreadable mask. It was clear Tian He wasn't at liberty to reveal everything, a hint of a larger, unspoken narrative lurking beneath the surface.

"Honestly, Senior. Even after learning this, I still have no clue what I should do to stop it. And the hidden existence like the Chasm of Uncreation only complicates things further. No matter how hard I try to improve my strength, it feels impossible to catch up to the demands of the current situation." Yun Lintian said, his voice laced with confusion and helplessness.

Initially, he believed he only needed to contend with a select few inheritors, such as Ren Yuan, Yao Huang, and Si Junyi. Now, however, it felt like the entire world was against him.

A gentle smile tugged at Tian He's lips. "The weight of the world may seem heavy on your shoulders now, but fret no more. You are not meant to carry this burden alone."

He gestured towards Yun Lintian. "Look within yourself. The power you wield, the Great Law of Life and Death, is not just about creation and destruction. It embodies the very essence of balance, the cycle of existence that transcends conflict."

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed in contemplation. Tian He's words resonated with a deep truth within him, a truth he'd somehow overlooked in his pursuit of strength.

"The Great Law of Life and Death… balance?" he murmured, piecing together the fragments of understanding.

"Precisely," Tian He affirmed. "You, Yun Lintian, may be the key to breaking the cycle. Your unique resonance with both Life and Death allows you to see beyond the inherent conflict, to perceive the harmony that lies beneath. This is your true strength, a power that transcends even the…"

"Cough!" Suddenly, Tian He coughed up a mouthful of blood and his face turned ghastly pale.

Boom!

Shi Xuan abruptly shot out of the lake and transformed into his human form before landing beside Tian He.

He stretched out to pat Tian He's back and channeled his energy into the latter's body. "Can't shut your mouth, huh?" his voice laced with concern.

"Senior." Yun Lintian hurriedly stepped forward and prepared to help Tian He.

Tian He raised his hand to stop him and said. "I'm fine."

He calmed down and spoke further. "The path you walk will be arduous, filled with challenges and doubts. There will be times when you question your abilities, your very purpose. But remember, you are not alone… You never be alone."

Yun Lintian nodded, his mind swirling with a myriad of thoughts. The latter portion of Tian He's message remained unclear.

Nevertheless, he grasped the core concept: the strength painstakingly bestowed upon him by the Beyond Heaven King and the others held the key to breaking the vicious cycle. Perhaps, with this power, he could truly achieve it.

"I'll try my best, Senior." Yun Lintian vowed solemnly.

Tian He spoke in a deep voice, "Remember, this path you walk is not one forced upon you, but rather one you chose yourself. Don't walk this path blindly. Trust your own strength and have confidence in your choices. Good or bad, the outcome will be yours to own. No one can dictate your life."

Yun Lintian nodded heavily. "Understood."

Yun Lintian's gaze inadvertently landed on Shi Xuan, who now appeared as a dignified old man. His pupils shrank, and his jaw dropped in surprise. He sensed a unique aura emanating from Shi Xuan, one that belonged to the Dragon God Clan!

Shi Xuan withdrew his hand and met Yun Lintian's wide-eyed stare. A flicker of amusement crossed his face before he slapped his forehead with a helpless sigh. "Ah, too bad. I completely forgot to mask my aura."

Tian He chuckled, shaking his head. He recognized Shi Xuan's deliberate act.

"Senior, you are…" Yun Lintian was shocked.

Shi Xuan chuckled, a deep rumble that echoed across the tranquil lake. "Surprised, little sprout? Don't worry, I'm not going to blast you with some ancestral dragon breath."

Yun Lintian remained speechless, his mind struggling to grasp the sudden revelation. The colossal serpent he'd battled countless times was actually… a Dragon God?

"There's more to the story than meets the eye," Tian He said gently, sensing Yun Lintian's confusion.

Shi Xuan took out a set of table and chairs and continued, "Why don't we sit? This next part of the story is a bit lengthy."

Intrigued despite his confusion, Yun Lintian followed Shi Xuan and Tian He and sat down on the chairs. The setting sun cast an orange glow on the three figures, painting the scene with a sense of anticipation.

Shi Xuan fixed Yun Lintian's interspatial ring with a pointed stare.

Sensing his gaze, Yun Lintian hastily produced delicacies and wine. However, he noticed that several jars of wine were missing from the ring.

"The culprit is this old man," Shi Xuan declared, gesturing towards Tian He with a playful jab.

Tian He chuckled heartily, pouring a cup of wine for everyone.

Despite his surprise at Tian He's ability to access his interspatial ring directly, Yun Lintian remained silent.

Shi Xuan took a big gulp of wine and said. "I am Long Xuan, the Dragon of Death. As the name suggests, my aura and power deviate from the traditional Dragon God lineage."

"You see, within the Dragon God Clan, there are two branches: the Azure Dragon lineage, represented by my older brother the Primordial Azure Dragon God, and my lineage, the Death Dragon lineage."

Yun Lintian was surprised. He didn't expect Long Xuan to be the Primordial Azure Dragon God's younger brother. "Death Dragon lineage? I've never heard of such a thing." He furrowed his brow.

"It's not surprising," Shi Xuan said with a hint of sadness. "Our lineage isn't exactly celebrated within the Dragon God Clan."
