Myth Beyond Heaven



Inside a spacious room decorated in modern Earth architecture, Yun Lintian and the others sat around a round table full of food.

"The food here is much better." Shen Liqiu said in surprise. She had tried a lot of Earth's food before, as Yun Lintian often cooked, but the food here didn't fail to surprise her.

Weilan Tian was the same. This was his first time trying these "strange" foods, and he couldn't put his chopsticks down.

"The chefs here are our Misty Cloud Sect's disciples, who choose to walk this path by themselves. They could combine medicinal ingredients and normal ingredients together very well." Yun Lintian explained.

The Misty Cloud Sect's teachings were similar to Earth's university. The disciples could choose a subject they wanted to learn by themselves. After all, not everyone pursued the profound path. 

Yun Lintian always believed everyone had the right to choose their path. He wanted to provide them choices as many as possible. Whether they wanted to be an alchemist, doctor, chef, or writer, he made sure that everyone had enough resources to reach the peak of their paths with no problem.

Weilan Tian didn't stop eating as he asked in surprise. "Your sect even teaches this?"

Weilan Tian grew up inside the traditional sect like the Azure Palace, where you only had one path to walk, which was the profound path. In there, everyone had to learn how to fight all the time, and it was extremely rare to see someone learn other arts like formation and alchemy.

Therefore, the Misty Cloud Sect's teaching method was exceptionally novel for him.

"While it's true that we speak with fists most of the time, it doesn't mean other arts cannot be used in a battle. For example, a formation master can easily annihilate an entire army by himself. A top doctor can use poison to kill an enemy without them knowing." Yun Lintian said with a smile.

"So, focusing on fighting alone, like other traditional ways of teaching, is not ideal. It will also limit one's ceiling."

"The Misty Cloud Sect gives everyone the freedom to forge their own path. They can try whatever they like, and even if they can't go further, they can simply start anew anytime."

"That's really good. If I were younger, I would definitely want to join your sect." Weilan Tian said in admiration.

"By the way, can you tell me about the upcoming conference?" 

Yun Lintian took a sip of tea and said. "It's nothing much, actually. I am going to announce some rules as well as my departure."

Weilan Tian's hand froze midair as he looked at Yun Lintian in shock. "What do you mean by that, Brother Yun?"

"As you can guess. I am leaving for the Divine Realm soon." Yun Lintian said calmly.

Weilan Tian put the chopsticks down and asked. "But isn't this too fast?"

It had been only three months since Yun Lintian "ruled" the Azure World. In Weilan Tian's opinion, it would take Yun Lintian at least a decade to stabilize his position before leaving. 

"This is the right time for me to leave." Yun Lintian explained. "You were locked up previously, and you didn't have a chance to see how powerful the enemies were. It could be said without me, Senior Long, and Senior Yun, this world would have fallen by now."

"I want the world to enter a state of intense competition, but in a healthy way. Everyone has a chance to reach the top as long as they are diligent and ambitious enough."

"As a true successor of the Azure Palace yourself, you should be aware of this point more than anyone. In the past, most resources were locked up inside the Nine Palaces, and ordinary people could only dream if they wanted to walk further on the profound path."

Weilan Tian nodded slightly upon hearing this. He naturally knew about this. Even a middle-level sect might not be able to access a top resource, even if they mobilized all of their strength. After all, more than ninety percent of the world's resources were under the control of the Nine Palaces.

"But how is it related to your departure?" He asked in doubt.

"Of course, it's related to me directly." Yun Lintian responded. "Currently, my existence is like a giant tree with its shadow covering the entire world. As long as I stay here, no one would dare to dream high as they know the ceiling, which is me, is still there at the end of the day."

"However, my departure will allow the world to enter the competitive state very quickly. Since everyone can access resources easier, a group of new talents will soon emerge. When these people grow into top powerhouses, our Azure World doesn't have to be afraid of any invader like we used to be."

Weilan Tian went silent immediately. He finally understood Yun Lintian's idea. He couldn't help looking at Yun Lintian with admiration. It was very rare to see a powerhouse let go of his power once he reached the pinnacle of the world like this. More precisely, there was none in the entire history.

"And even if I left, the Misty Cloud Sect would still be there to monitor the world on my behalf. They will make sure that no one can monopolize the resources and suppress everyone like the Azure Palace, the Myriad Pill Palace, and the Star Gazing Palace in the past." Yun Lintian said further.

Yun Lintian was fully confident in the Misty Cloud Sect. In terms of strength and resources, no one in this world could compete with them. With this, they would remain on the top all the time.

As for whether there would be a betrayer appear in the sect, he wasn't afraid of it at all as he had already prepared a countermeasure to deal with it. And he fully believed there would be no one who dared to betray the sect once they entered the sect.

It wasn't blind confidence but rather related to the qualification to enter the sect.

Listening to this, Weilan Tian took a deep breath and said solemnly. "I can't guarantee the outcome, but I will try my best to make the Azure Palace becomes one similar to the Misty Cloud Sect."

Yun Lintian raised the teacup and said. "I wish you good luck."
