Myth Beyond Heaven



As soon as Zhou Xianyang went to his seat, Zhou Junyi and two young men who looked similar to him appeared on the high platform. 

The crowd quickly got up and greeted them one by one. "We greet Third Prince, Fourth Prince, and Fifth Prince."

Zhou Junyi nodded and said. "You can go down."

Everyone seemed familiar with Zhou Junyi's personality. They didn't feel offended by his arrogance and quietly sat back in their seats.

Zhou Junyi looked at Shen Yan and went to greet her without hesitation. "I pay respect to Young Miss Shen. What happened in the auction house last time was my fault. Please forgive me."

Shen Yan merely glanced at him and said. "Go away."

A flame of fury was instantly ignited in Zhou Junyi's heart, but he had to suppress it. He forced a smile and said. "I'll take my leave now."

Afterward, he turned around and went to his seat. 

The Fourth and the Fifth Prince glanced at each other briefly and went away after greeting Shen Yan.

"There are so many flies here." Shen Yan shook her head annoyingly. 

This scene left everyone in the crowd speechless. However, knowing her status, they didn't think it was inappropriate for her to say this.

A while later, Zhou Ling'er walked out and came to Yun Lintian's side. "Little Girl Ling'er pays respect to Young Miss Shen, Fairy Qin, Senior Xu, and Senior Lin."

When everyone thought Shen Yan would chase Zhou Ling'er, she suddenly said. "Sit here with us."

Zhou Ling'er was surprised and quickly said. "I won't be polite then."

As she finished her sentence, she calmly sat down beside Shen Yan. This scene stunned everyone below… Wouldn't this mean Shen Yan declared that she supported Zhou Ling'er? And it could also include the Ximen Clan behind Zhou Ling'er.

Seeing this scene, Ximen Jue and the others from the Ximen Clan were delighted. As long as they could maintain a good relationship with Shen Yan, they no longer have to be afraid of the Zhou Royal Clan.

While Zhou Xianyang was calm, Zhou Junyi's face was terribly gloomy upon seeing this. As much as Zhou Junyi wanted to get rid of Zhou Ling'er, it was almost impossible now.

At this time, the lead actor of the event, the Great Zhou Emperor, Zhou Xun, finally showed up. His face held an expression of gentle and unflustered calm, and deep wisdom could be seen in his clear eyes. He emanated a majestic aura that made everyone feel reverent.

Following Zhou Xun were Zhao Shuimu and Yao An. 

"That's Zhao Shuimu and Yao An." Qin Mei sent a sound transmission to Yun Lintian. "Their strength cannot be underestimated. I may not be able to restrain both of them alone."

Yun Lintian didn't say anything. With a glance, he could see the strength of the two was deep and unfathomable. They should be in the Divine King Realm, at the very least. 

Except for Shen Yan's group, everyone in the crowd quickly got up and said in unison. "We pay respect to Your Majesty Great Zhou Emperor and National Teacher Zhao."

Zhou Xun smiled and raised his hand slightly. "No need to be polite, everyone. Please take a seat."

The crowd was relaxed by Zhou Xun's amiable approach. They bowed gently and sat back in their seats.

Zhou Xun turned to Shen Yan and said politely. "Welcome, Young Miss Shen, to my humble abode. I hope you have a pleasant time here."

Shen Yan nodded gently without saying anything. 

Zhou Xun wasn't angry about it. He looked at the crowd and said. "Since everyone has arrived, I won't waste your time further. Let's invite our esteemed judges from Heavenhold Divine Academy over."

As his voice fell, two old men and a middle-aged woman appeared on the high platform and sat on their respective seats. 

Zhou Xun looked at the old man in blue and said. "I ask Elder Wen to preside over the banquet today."

The old man, Wen Qian, smiled and said. "That's natural. It's my purpose of coming here, after all."

Zhou Xun smiled and sat back on his throne. Although it was called the Royal Banquet, in fact, he had no role in it at all. All he did was to provide a venue for the academy.

Wen Qian swept his gaze over the crowd and said. "Presumably, everyone is already aware of the rules here, so I won't talk about it further. We will start with the third tier list first."

"Those below the Divine Foundation Realm can go up now. Reminder. We will accept the top twenty into our academy."

Hearing this, Yun Lintian was slightly surprised. There was no sense of ritual or anything. The event started just like that.

"This person is the head of the academy's law enforcer. He doesn't like to waste time." Qin Mei explained to Yun Lintian.

At this moment, a youngster beside Chu Teng leaped high from his seat onto the center of the arena. He cupped his fists and swept his defiant eyes toward the crowd. "This one is Long River Sect's humble disciple, Xuan Ye, thirty years old. Who will come up and advise me?"

Once Xuan Ye stepped onto the stage, all the eyes immediately gathered on his body. This Xuan Ye was really thirty years old, but he was already at the peak of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm—a half step to the Divine Foundation Realm. It could be seen he was suppressing his realm, especially for this event.

"No one?" Xuan Ye swept his gaze over the youngsters in the crowd with a disdainful smile. Obviously, no one dared to fight him.

On the west side of the hall, Wang Jiacai chuckled and turned to look at a young man beside him. "Lin Hao, go ahead and teach him."

The young man, Lin Hao, grinned and said. "Alright, senior brother."

Lin Hao got up and leaped to stand in front of Xuan Ye. "Blood Mountain Sect's Lin Hao. I'm here to teach you."

Xuan Ye laughed as he replied. "Teach me? Hehe. Let's see."

Instantly, he took a step forward as the profound energy that was condensed in his right fist smashed toward Lin Hao's face with an ear-piercing sound.

"Only at this level?" Lin Hao's eyes were full of contempt as he brought up his right hand, which suddenly flashed with a layer of red light.

Boom!
