Myth Beyond Heaven

An Lang looked at everyone and said. "Alright. Everyone take a good rest first. I'll be right back in an hour." He then turned to a middle-aged man wearing a grey robe beside him. "I'll leave them to you."

The middle-aged man nodded and turned to everyone. "Hello, everyone. My name is An Shan. You can call me Old Shan directly. I don't mind about it." He pointed at a few tents on his right and said. "These tents are preparing for all of you. It's true that we practitioners don't need to sleep, but trust me. You will understand after staying here for a day."

Xiao Lian cupped her fists and said. "Thank you, Senior An." She then led her people to the tents.

Meanwhile, Yun Lintian didn't follow them and approached An Shan. "Old Shan, may I ask how long you have been here?"

An Shan looked at Yun Lintian from head to toe and said with a smile. "You are really different from others. No wonder Island Master Zhou told us to take care of you… How long have I been here? Well… It should be more than a hundred years. Why?"

Yun Lintian shook his head and said. "I'm just curious. From what I know, this kind of mine usually has some living beings here."

"You mean something like a territory overlord?" An Shan touched his chin and asked.

Yun Lintian nodded. "Yeah, something like that."

An Shan thought for a moment and said. "Actually, this place wasn't entirely without lifeforms when we first discovered it. However, to say that it was a profound beast is also not right."

"Oh? Can you tell me about it?" Yun Lintian was curious.

"When we first opened the entrance here, there was terrifying energy that could devour one's life force and soul. However, it wasn't strong enough to harm us. Everyone thought that there's a powerful figure here, but we didn't find anything in the end, and that energy has never appeared again." An Shan said with an uncomfortable expression. He still remembered how horrible it was at that time.

"Energy? Can you elaborate more? What is its attribute?" Yun Lintian suddenly thought of the strange red dot. Perhaps there was a connection between these two.

"Why do you want to know this?" An Shan looked at Yun Lintian weirdly. At first, he thought Yun Lintian was purely curious about it, but his current appearance was beyond ordinary doubt.

Yun Lintian's expression did not change in the slightest, as if he had already expected this. He opened his arms and said casually. "Old Shan might not know this. I lived in the mountain all my life. I have read a lot of books about special places like this Black Jade mine for example. This is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes. I think you should understand how excited I am right now."

An Shan had an understanding look on his face as he said. "I see." He laughed and continued. "Well, that energy didn't have any attribute. Island Master Zhou believed it was a will of vengeance left behind by someone. Since it appeared for a short time, we simply couldn't confirm it."

"Of course, we had suspected there might be something here deep in the mine, but with our current speed, it would take another hundred years or so to reach the center of the mine."

"I see. Thank you, Old Shan." Yun Lintian cupped his fists and didn't ask anything further.

An Shan waved his hand. "It's nothing. Go ahead. Take a rest first. The environment here is not good. You need some time to adapt to it."

Yun Lintian exchanged a few polite words and went to find a vacant tent. After setting a simple isolation formation, Yun Lintian sat on the bed and started to contact Hongyue. Maybe she knows something about this.

"Hongyue, I have something to ask you." Yun Lintian asked.

Hongyue, who was watching a movie, clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction and responded. "What? Don't you see I'm busy right now?"

Yun Lintian didn't care about her dissatisfaction and asked. "I am in the Black Jade mine right now. As soon as I entered this place, I heard the voice of someone keep calling for help."

Hongyue's eyebrows raised slightly. "Did you meet a ghost?"

"Ghost? Is it really a ghost?" Yun Lintian was taken aback.

Hongyue pursed her lips and said. "Show me the place."

Yun Lintian moved his mind, and a projection appeared before Hongyue. She said. "Go out."

Yun Lintian stood up and walked out of the tent. All of a sudden, the cold voice was resounded in his mind again.

"I… am… here."

"Did you hear that?" Yun Lintian asked.

Surprisingly, Hongyue had also heard this voice. A frown appeared on her face as she tried to figure out the identity of the voice's owner.

"This voice… Why do I feel familiar?" Hongyue muttered to herself, but Yun Lintian heard it.

"Don't tell me it's someone from the ancient era again?" Yun Lintian made a guess.

"It shouldn't be. I don't remember someone is being trapped in such a place. At least, not before I entered the Mythical Realm." Hongyue shook her head. She looked at the black wall and suddenly thought of something. "Wait a minute. Black Jade?"

"What is it?" Yun Lintian hurriedly asked.

"In the past, Black Jade was often used to create an artifact called Soul Lamp. This artifact can be used to imprison a soul…." Hongyue explained with a serious expression.

Yun Lintian's mind ran fast. "Are you telling me this place is not a mine but a prison?" Just thinking of this, Yun Lintian suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. If these people continued to mine further, won't they accidentally release it?

"Yes. Although I can't figure out the identity and strength of this person, since some trapped him here, he shouldn't be an ordinary person." Hongyue replied. At the same time, her curiosity was piqued entirely, and she urged. "Come on. You must go deeper. I want to know who this person is."

Yun Lintian rolled his eyes. "Are you trying to get me killed?"
