Myth Beyond Heaven

The bizarre scene gave Yun Lintian and Shen Liqiu goosebumps. They stared at the speaking skeleton carefully but didn't detect anything suspicious. How could it speak?

"I know my current appearance has scared both of you. However, please rest reassured, I bring no harm." The skeleton in the beautiful clothes said. She slowly got off of the bed and made an inviting gesture. "Please come in."

Yun Lintian observed the skeleton through the Eyes of Heaven and saw a trace of a soul lingering in it. Unlike the other skeletons on the outside, it could retain her consciousness.

Without thinking further, Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said. "This Junior is Yun Lintian, and she's Shen Liqiu. We're sorry for interrupting Senior resting."

The skeleton sat on a broken chair and said. "I am nothing but a living dead. You don't have to be courteous. My name is Tang Suyin. I'm sorry that I have nothing to entertain you."

Yun Lintian smiled and walked into the courtyard. He waved his hand and brought a set of tables and chairs, including a set of tea. "Please take a seat, Senior Tang."

Although Shen Liqiu was vigilant, she still followed Yun Lintian in and sat down.

The skeleton, Tang Suyin, walked over and calmly sat on the chair. She waved his hand and said gently. "Little Qing, serve the tea."

At this moment, the skeleton servant, Little Qing, stepped forward and skillfully poured cups of tea for everyone before stepping back and standing on the side.

Tang Suyin looked at the tea in front of her and said softly. "This is the best quality Spirit Tea I have ever seen. Has the outside world developed to this extent already?"

"No, Senior. The outside world is more weaker than four thousand years ago. It's just that Yun Lintian is very rich. He has a lot of good stuff with him." Through her secret technique, Shen Liqiu saw no malice in Tang Suyin. The vigilance in her heart disappeared completely, and she started to chat.

"I see." Tang Suyin moved her skull slightly. "You two are the first group to arrive here. May I know how did you come in? If I remember correctly, the windstorm has never weakened in the slightest."

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and replied truthfully. "We're body practitioners. Coupled with luck, we were able to enter the city."

Tang Suyin stared at Yun Lintian for a moment and turned to Shen Liqiu. "The technique you used earlier reminds me of the Shen clan's secret technique, Divine Clarity Heart. Are you a descendant of Senior Shen Tingguang?"

Shen Liqiu was surprised. "Senior knows my great-grandpa?"

Tang Suyin nodded gently. "Senior Shen had visited our Tang clan several times in the past, and he had also taught me some profound arts."

"Senior, you are…" Shen Liqiu was curious about Tang Suyin's identity. Having her great-grandfather personally taught her meant she possessed a very high status in the Tang clan.

"I am the first daughter of the Tang clan's patriarch." Tang Suyin replied softly.

"You are Holy Maiden Tang!" Shen Liqiu blurted out. Her eyes were filled with astonishment.

It was said the first daughter of the Tang clan's patriarch was born with a unique soul called Imperishable Soul, and she was well-known as Holy Maiden Tang. However, not many people had seen her appearance as she rarely left the manor.

"That was something in the past. I can't even be called a human now." Tang Suyin replied calmly.

A trace of sorrow emerged within Shen Liqiu's heart. She had just imagined being alone here for thousands of years. How much suffering had Tang Suyin gone through?

Yun Lintian, who was remaining silent all this time, suddenly asked. "Please forgive me for being rude, but how did Senior maintain your consciousness for this long? And what exactly happened to the living dead outside? How could everyone become like this?"

Tang Suyin replied almost instantly. "I was born with a special soul called the Imperishable Soul. My soul could exist forever as long as there's no other factor such as being devoured or absorbed."

"Imperishable Soul?" Yun Lintian repeated in doubt.

"I didn't expect to see a very rare soul here." Hongyue's voice resounded in Yun Lintian's mind. "The Imperishable Soul is the top rank soul in the entire universe. When you reach the Divine Spirit Realm later, you will understand how powerful it is to have an imperishable soul."

Yun Lintian frowned and asked in doubt. "Does this mean she can come back to life at any moment?"

"Of course. However, she needs a suitable body. That's why she is still living in this skeleton." Hongyue replied casually.

"Actually, you can give her the Fruit of Immortality, My King. This is her true body. The fruit will work on her." Lauya suddenly said.

Yun Lintian was surprised to hear this. He didn't doubt Lauya's word but chose to observe Tang Suyin first.

Tang Suyin continued. "As for the current situation, it was the Skymist Emperor's doing. When the windstorm appeared, he had activated a forbidden art to turn everyone into the living dead. I am, and Little Qing was no exception, but we had special means to maintain what we are right now."

"Forbidden art? Why?" Shen Liqiu didn't understand why the Skymist Emperor chose to do this. According to the record, he was a benevolent emperor and always advocated fairness. It was difficult to believe such a person could commit a cruel act like this.

"To prevent outsiders from stealing the Skymist Pearl." Tang Suyin replied calmly. "The Skymist Emperor was aware of how scary it would be if the Skymist Pearl landed in the wrong hand. At that split second before his death, he didn't hesitate to do this."

"I see. That's why the Skymist Dragon is so aggressive." Shen Liqiu nodded her head slowly.

"You've encountered the Skymist Dragon?" Tang Suyin asked.

"Yes. It was at the Vermilion Bird Gate." Shen Liqiu replied.

"Strange. Why did it leave the Skymist Clan's manor?" Tang Suyin said in doubt. "Usually, it would guard the Skymist Clan's treasury all the time."
