Myth Beyond Heaven



Yun Lintian looked at Xing Tengfei's illusory figure thoughtfully. He seemed to understand his dilemma. 

While Xing Tengfei's ambition was high, heaven seemed to give him no way forward. He wanted to leave this world but was also afraid of being caught. This was why he chose to cooperate with the Poison Valley as well as the Divine Realm's forces. He tried to seize every opportunity to break the shackles.

"Heh…" A mocking smile appeared on Yun Lintian's lips after knowing this. There was no sympathy for Xing Tengfei as he fully deserved it.

Xing Tengfei lowered his head slightly and said. "If you see this, it means I have already died. That also means I have failed to change my fate."

"If you're my descendant, pass down these words and let everyone know our origin. I hope all of you can one day return to the Divine Realm."

As his voice fell, his figure blurred and disappeared along with the starlights.

The Starlight Crystal in Xing Mu's hand cracked and was reduced into powder afterward.

Yun Lintian looked at Xing Mu and asked. "Do you want to tell the others about this?"

Xing Mu took a deep breath to calm down and turned to Yun Lintian. "I want to tell them."

As he spoke, he was prepared to receive Yun Lintian's attack as he believed Yun Lintian would undoubtedly kill him to shut his mouth.

Surprisingly, Yun Lintian smiled and said. "Go ahead and tell them. They deserve to know it."

Xing Mu was stunned for a moment and asked. "Why?"

"Xing Tengfei had plotted against my sect's founder, and I had already avenged her. I could simply kill all of you to relieve my hatred, but it would be too easy." Yun Lintian said with a faint smile.

"Do you think how the others would feel after knowing this?" He asked.

Xing Mu lowered his head slightly, pondering. A moment later, he replied. "They should be overjoyed."

Yun Lintian spoke right after Xing Mu finished. "And then fall into despair."

Xing Mu raised his head to look at Yun Lintian and immediately understood what he meant.

Once everyone knew about their origin, they would undoubtedly become happy, but later they would find out that they had no ability to go out of this world. That feeling would haunt them for the rest of their life, just like what Xing Tengfei experienced throughout the years.

"In this world, the easiest way to escape from problems is death. I'd rather watch all of you being tortured by this." Yun Lintian chuckled.

Xing Mu fell silent. First, Yun Lintian stripped their status and power, and now he wanted to give them hope but not the ability to realize it… This kind of torment was the worst.

Yun Lintian looked around the place and didn't see any dark aura anymore. It was washed away by the starlight earlier.

"What kind of object he kept it here?" Yun Lintian muttered to himself. Unfortunately, Xing Tengfei was killed outside the world. He was unable to retrieve his belongings.

Yun Lintian didn't say anything further and left the basement directly.

Xing Mu's eyes flickered a few times before a trace of determination appeared on his face. He had finally made his decision—he would never tell anyone about this. Let this secret rot in his heart.

Yun Lintian walked out of the courtyard and looked at the plum blossom trees around the place. "These plum blossoms are not bad. It would be a pity to destroy them."

He then waved his hand, pulling all the plum trees and sending them to the Land of Beyond Heaven, letting the Wood Spirit people take care of them.

Xing Mu followed out and watched the scene in silence. This plum blossom garden used to be the most sacred place in the Star Gazing Palace, but now it was thoroughly cleaned by Yun Lintian. 

How ridiculous… Xing Mu shook his head slightly. Who would believe they were still at the top of the mountain a few days ago? Now, they had fallen to the ground… There would be no Star Gazing Palace from now on.

Yun Lintian turned to Xing Mu and said. "Let's go."

Xing Mu nodded and followed Yun Lintian out.

A while later, a large group of dark clouds gradually gathered above the Star Gazing Palace's territory, pressing horizontally against the blue sky.

Everyone on the Central Continent turned their attention to the sky. Just as they thought another round of calamity was about to come, densely packed purple lightning bolts abruptly shot down, turning everything below into a sea of thunders.

All the buildings, mountains, and rivers inside the Star Gazing Palace's territory were instantly blasted into smithereens, reducing into ashes directly.

This scene caused everyone's heart to tremble.

"That direction… The Star Gazing Palace?" 

"It seems so…"

"What the hell happened?"

Many people started to discuss this in shock. They couldn't believe something would happen to the Star Gazing Palace like this.

Standing on the deck, Yun Lintian retracted his hand and glanced at the flat land below calmly. The majestic Star Gazing Palace no longer exists from today onward.

"Where to go next?" Shen Liqiu asked.

"Let's go back." Yun Lintian replied calmly.

"Alright." Shen Liqiu responded and controlled the ship toward the secret formation's direction.

"Grandpa…" Standing on the balcony, Lei Feifei looked at the dark clouds in the distance in shock.

"It's Young Master Yun." Lei Yongzheng said calmly. "Everyone in the world will know his name soon."

"He doesn't want to unify the world." Lei Zhenxiang sighed softly. "I have been curious about this. How could a young man like him be indifferent to fame and fortune?"

Lei Feifei came back to her sense and said. "He's different. The moment I first met him, I always had this feeling… It's like he's not a person from this world."

"Maybe." Lei Yongzheng said. "I have a hunch that he would become an existence that shakes the entire Divine Realm in the near future."

Lei Zhenxiang and Lei Feifei fell silent. Both of them also had this thought.

Lei Yongzheng waved his hand and said. "Let's go. There are a lot of things waiting for us."

After returning, Lei Yongzheng directly killed Lei Yubai and his people without mercy. With this, more than half of the Divine Thunder Palace's force was gone overnight. 

Lei Yongzheng needed to inject a lot of new blood to recover the palace's strength as soon as possible.
