Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian shook his head. "I'm merely asking since it's quite strange."

Xu Yudie nodded in an understanding manner. "There's a rumor circulating that many priceless treasures were left behind in the Ancient City. Countless bravadoes had tried to enter the place, but they all ended up missing or reducing into pieces. Even the Divine Phoenix Palace Master has to make a continent-wide prohibition later."

"It's that dangerous?" Without a doubt, this place was where The Storm was located. Yun Lintian wasn't afraid of it, but he was still curious.

On the side, Ren Haiyang added. "In the past, there was a senior with the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm's strength who tried to enter the Ancient City. He managed to reach the city gate but ended up dead. No one knew how he died, but those experts said they saw him simply disappearing after letting out a shrill scream."

"I see." Yun Lintian touched his chin and pondered. It wasn't sure whether he could approach the place with his current strength.

"Heh. They simply were courting death. Among the Beyond Heaven Relics, The Storm is the most violent in nature. Except for the Beyond Heaven King himself, everyone can just forget about approaching it." Hongyue sneered.

"Would it be alright for me to go there?" Yun Lintian asked.

"What do you think?" Hongyue rolled her eyes as though she was saying, 'what kind of stupid question is this?'

Yun Lintian was speechless. He just wanted to know so that he didn't have to waste time preparing.

He changed the topic. "Can you tell me more about the Divine Phoenix Palace?"

"What does Senior want to know?" Xu Yudie was surprised slightly.

​ "Well… For example, their hierarchy structure." Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said.

Xu Yudie explained. "Similar to the Frozen Moon Palace in the North, the Divine Phoenix Palace only accepts female disciples. It was said the Divine Phoenix despised men. I'm not sure about this."

"Wait a moment. How did they conceive a child then?" Yun Lintian interrupted. He remembered his fifth sister, Nantian Fengyu, was the daughter of the current Divine Phoenix Palace Master. How could she give birth to Fifth Sister without a man?

Xu Yudie shook her head. "As far as I know, it should be related to the Divine Phoenix power."

"I see. Please continue." Yun Lintian nodded thoughtfully.

"The hierarchy structure is similar to other palaces. There are Great Elder and Hall Elders below the Palace Master. However, when it comes to a successor, they will select a batch of candidates and send them through harsh trials before choosing one of them in the end. As for the remaining candidates, they will serve as generation elders afterward." Xu Yudie explained.

"Please forgive me, Senior. That's all I know." Xu Yudie smiled apologetically.

Her Golden Coin Trading Group was not bad, but it was a world apart when compared to the giant existence like the Divine Phoenix Palace. Their information-gathering ability was limited. Even though she was the young mistress of the group, it was still too far from her reach.

"No need to say this. It's very useful for me." Yun Lintian said with a smile. "How long do we need to reach the destination?"

"Two hours at most." Ren Haiyang replied on Xu Yudie's behalf.

"Two hours… Fine. I will stay here for the time being. We will part way when we reach the city." Yun Lintian pondered for a moment and said.

"Can Senior give us a chance to repay the life-saving grace?" Xu Yudie didn't want Yun Lintian and Mu Qiuxue to leave just like that.

Yun Lintian smiled meaningfully. "Put your small thoughts away. Don't think that I don't know what you want us to do."

Xu Yudie hurriedly explained. "It's not what Senior thinks…."

Yun Lintian waved his hand to interrupt her. "You don't have to explain. A runaway young miss like you is bound to encounter enemies on the way. I don't have much free time to be a bodyguard for you."

Xu Yudie wanted to explain, but she swallowed her words back in the end. "Understood, Senior. Please forgive me."

"Go get busy. We will stay here." Yun Lintian motioned with his chin and closed his eyes, meditating.

On the side, Mu Qiuxue looked at Yun Lintian thoughtfully and remained silent. She seemed to understand why Yun Lintian acted like this. Basically, he didn't want to further associate with Xu Yudie and the people behind her.

Xu Yudie sighed softly and walked away with Ren Haiyang.

"Why? She can be a good help for us." Mu Qiuxue asked.

Yun Lintian replied without opening his eyes. "The less they interact with me, the lesser trouble for them. The place where I plan to go is not something they can help me with. Besides, do you really think they treat us like saviors?."

"Are you planning to go to that ancient city?" Mu Qiuxue asked in surprise.

"Yes. I will go alone on this trip. You can stay on the ship with others and try to break through. As long as you step into the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm, Du Huanfeng would have to think twice if he wanted to move you." Yun Lintian replied nonchalantly.

Mu Qiuxue went silent. She would do it a long time ago if it was that easy.

"Young Miss, I think it's better to stay away from them." After entering a private room, Ren Haiyang said.

Xu Yudie sat on a chair and responded. "Why?"

"Have you noticed his realm? He's only at the peak of the Ruler Profound Realm, but the power he showed is far stronger than that. A person hiding his profound strength is either having a lofty identity or…." Before Ren Haiyang could finish his sentence, Xu Yudie said.

"Or a criminal. That is what you want to say?" Xu Yudie said calmly.

Seeing Ren Haiyang nodding, she said further. "To me, he's inclining toward the former. Don't you think a woman beside him looks familiar?"

Ren Haiyang's brows creased together as he said uncertainty. "Come to think of it, she is indeed looking familiar."

"Snow Maiden, Mu Qiuxue." Xu Yudie said slowly.

Ren Haiyang's eyes wide open in shock. "It's her!?"

"Mhm." Xu Yudie tapped on the table and said. "Recently, I heard the news that the Myriad Pill Palace has dispatched their guardians to the Western Continent. And these two people are clearly coming from that direction. Don't you think it's too coincident?"
