Myth Beyond Heaven

"Hmm? She's still alive?" A male voice resounded from the sky with surprise. Qi Qianxing's figure slowly emerged from the cloud.

Yun Qingrou arrived at Yun Qianxue's side and quickly checked her condition. Upon seeing she wasn't dead, she let out a sigh of relief, but the distress between her brows didn't lose a bit. Yun Qianxue's Profound Vein was utterly shattered, and she didn't have much of life force left. At this rate, she could only live no more than 10 years. ​​

Yun Ruanyu floated in the air, looking at Qi Qianxing with a solemn expression. She blamed herself for being careless, as she didn't perceive Qi Qianxing's presence at all.

"What? Surprise?" Qi Qianxing looked at Yun Ruanyu with a playful smile. "Actually, your plan is almost perfect. Sending Yun Meilan and Yun Lingwei to the Profound Sword Sect is a good plan. With their strength, killing everyone within the sect is not difficult at all. What's surprised me more is that you can actually predicted my plan. As expected from the person I admired."

He then shook his head and said further, "Unfortunately, you didn't expect Huo Yan to have a Divine rank weapon with him, and this forced Snow Cloud Fairy… That's not right, she is not a fairy anymore." Qi Qianxing let out faint laughter afterward.

Yun Ruanyu's eyes turned cold. But she didn't become impulsive. She quickly activated the Grand Protection Formation by emptying the sect's Profound stones. With this, the barrier should be able to hold it for several days.

Qi Qianxing didn't launch any attack. Instead, he took out a table and a chair along with a spirit tea set and calmly brewing the tea.

Yun Ruanyu said nothing. She led everyone back to the main hall. At this moment, she could only hope Yun Meilan, Yun Lingwei, and Yun Huanxin's group to come back in time.

"Can you tell me about the Poison Valley now?" Yun Lintian sat around a table in the secret room, along with Yan Qi and Little Flame.

Yan Qi reluctantly took his eyes off the fragrant cup of tea on the table and turned to Yun Lintian with a serious expression. "To tell you about this, I have to start with the overall situation of this world first. As you probably know already that there are five continents. Have you ever heard this phrase, 'Nine Palaces, five sects and two pavilions'?"

Yun Lintian seemed to think of something, but he shook his head in the end.

Yan Qi explained, "Nine Palaces referred to nine hegemonies who are in charge of this world. Except for the Central Continent, other four continents have only one palace overseeing their continent. For the Eastern Continent, there is the Blazing Sun Palace. Western Continent, it is the Nine Profound Beast Palace. The Divine Phoenix Palace for the Southern Continent. As for the Northern Continent, in the past, it's not the Frozen Moon Palace but the Misty Cloud Palace."

"Wait a minute! You mean…" Yun Lintian interrupted Yan Qi and looked at him in amazement.

Yan Qi nodded. "That's right. The Misty Cloud Palace should be called Misty Cloud Sect now."

Yun Lintian had an enlightened look on his face. However, he felt there was something wrong with this statement. If the Misty Cloud Sect was the Misty Cloud Palace in the past, how did some greedy people allow the sect to exist until now? Why wouldn't they come and rob the sect after several thousands of years? And how did these sects, like Profound Sword Sect, Sacred Flame Sect, and Qi royal clan, not know this truth?

Yan Qi saw through Yun Lintian's thoughts. He smiled. "Do you believe there is someone strong enough to forcibly erase the history's record?"

Yun Lintian shook his head with disbelief written all over his face. How could that person do? Erase memory from everyone? That's too ridiculous.

"It's understandable. Your journey in the profound way is too short. At most, you probably encounter some Ruler Profound Realm's trashes and never encountered anyone stronger than that." Yan Qi then pointed at himself, "Look at me. When I am still alive, I am unrivaled among Monarchs. I can destroy half of the continent with my full strength. Then, what about someone stronger than me? You could never imagine what they could do."

Yun Lintian rolled his eyes on Yan Qi's narcissistic part, but he recognized Yan Qi's latter statement… Didn't I see many overpowered abilities in those novels before? Maybe forcibly erasing people's memory is not that unbelievable. He thought.

"No wonder. Some parts of my sect's history are missing." Yun Lintian muttered.

Yan Qi expressed his opinion. "In fact, you're wrong one thing. Don't forget that even though the Misty Cloud Palace had become the Misty Cloud Sect, their strength couldn't be underestimated. If I guessed correctly, they still had several Monarchs at that time. Hence, no one is stupid enough trying to rob them. As the time passed by and the history's record had already been erased, there were only a few people who knew that the Misty Cloud Sect is actually the Misty Cloud Palace in the past. I guess most of them have already dead by now."

"You're right. I overlooked this case." Yun Lintian thought it made sense after pondering for a while.

Yan Qi suddenly asked, "I am really curious about this. How did you become a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect?" He wanted to ask this several times before, but Yun Lintian was so busy. He couldn't find the right time to ask.

Yun Lintian looked at Yan Qi and pondered whether he should tell him the truth.

Yan Qi seemed to understand Yun Lintian. He smiled faintly. "You don't have to fear that I'll tell anyone the secret. Look at me, I am just a trace of soul, and I will dissipate when you leave. Besides, I exchanged my life to guard The Sun for you. Do you think I will harm you?"

Yun Lintian calmly analyzed the pros and cons before he finally decided to tell Yan Qi. "I don't know myself. It was said, there was a mysterious person brought me to the sect and told the current Sect Master to adopt me as her foster son. My godmother said that person should be stronger than a Monarch."

A strange light flashed across Yan Qi's eyes as he fell into deep thought. A moment later, he asked, "Who could she be?"

Yun Lintian shook his head as he had no clue about it too.

"Strange. Why did she put you in the Misty Cloud Sect? Did she want you to create a harem?" Yan Qi said jokingly with a perverted smirk.

Yun Lintian rolled his eyes. He replied in a joking manner. "It would be the best then, but I'm afraid my kidney is not strong enough."

"Brat! They are your fellow sisters and elders. How could you have such a filthy thought on them?" Yan Qi responded sternly. His current appearance was like a proper senior trying to teach a junior.

Yun Lintian was speechless... Weren't you the one who brought this topic up? Why did you suddenly change your face?

Yan Qi had enough of the joke. He changed the topic. "I'll continue the previous topic. The Frozen Moon Palace in the past was a small sect under the Misty Cloud Palace. However, after that incident, they were brought up and became the current Frozen Moon Palace."

"What incident?" Yun Lintian asked.

"Here is the point. Around four thousand years ago, there were countless unknown Profound Beasts appeared out of nowhere and began to rampage. It wasn't just the Northern Continent, but they were everywhere on the five continents." Yan Qi replied.

"Profound Beast?" Yun Lintian was surprised.

Yan Qi didn't reply to Yun Lintian's question but continue, "These Profound Beast had a certain character, their skins were black as ink and they could release a deadly poison aura that wasn't existed in this world. At that time, all the nine palaces, leading by Azure Palace, had united together and killed these Profound Beasts."

"As you know, when a Profound Beast reached the Saint Profound Realm, they could transform themselves into human form. When they found out, they couldn't resist the nine palaces further. Some of Monarch and Saint Profound Beasts had fled away and silently copulated with female humans. Later, they successfully given birth to several half beast half human, and they became the Poison Valley that you know about."

Yun Lintian nodded his head. He then asked, "But how did the disappearance of the Misty Cloud Palace relate to this incident? Did they have heavy casualties?"

Yan Qi shook his head. "Actually, I also don't know much about this. At that time, everyone was busy with their own sect. No one paid attention much on others. When I heard about the Misty Cloud Palace again, they had already disappeared. It was that moment I realized someone had deliberately erased the history's record."

Yun Lintian was disappointed. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "My godmother said our sect's founder has disappeared around that time. Could it be because of this?"

"The Misty Cloud Sect's Founder?" Yan Qi was slightly confused and then nodded his head. "It's possible. I've met your sect's founder once in the past. She is a devastating beauty and her strength could be ranked among the top powerhouses in the world. As for how did she disappear, this is the first time I heard about it... How did she disappear?"

Both of them fell into silence for a while. Only the sound of Little Flame drinking the tea could be heard.

"So you are the Palace Master of the Blazing Sun Palace?" Yun Lintian asked.

Yan Qi admitted, "Yes." Then a melancholy appeared on his illusory face, "I don't know how is the Blazing Sun Palace now."

Yun Lintian took a sip of the tea, letting the old man reminiscence without bothering him while his mind was filling with questions. He tried to connect the dot of the history, but several pieces were still missing.
