Myth Beyond Heaven



The flying boat had unwittingly flown through a few thousand kilometers of the mountain and river land. During this period, Yun Lintian could clearly feel the difference between the Divine Realm and the Azure World. Both of them couldn't be compared at all.

The Heavenhold Realm was only the middle-level realm, but it was incredibly vast and full of people and profound beasts. 

"We've arrived." Tian Hualing stated as she opened her eyes, which had been resting for a long time.

The direction of the flight suddenly shifted downward. The sea of clouds scattered, and an enormous world shrouded in illusory immortal mists instantly appeared before Yun Lintian.

The gentle and warm breeze blew over, and the originally extremely dense energy of heaven and earth quickly became even richer. Even though they were high up in the sky, the enormous world below didn't seem to have a limit. 

Within the immortal mist, mountains, lakes, buildings, and forests were scattered across the area. They were covered with a layer of might so sharp that it caused Yun Lintian to involuntarily hold his breath.

It could be said this was the first time he came into contact with the true Divine Realm.

Scree~

A long cry pierced through the high skies. A huge bird that was at least a few kilometers wide in body length alone flew over from the icy mist. Its approach brought along an oppressive feeling that caused Yun Lintian's entire body to tense up. From its suppressive aura, this bird should be at least in the Divine King Realm.

However, the huge bird held not the slightest bit of hostility in its aura. In fact, it shifted the trajectory of its flight and actively made way for them. It seemed as though that long cry was its greeting call. 

"This is the Heavenhold Region where our Heavenhold Sect is located." Tian Hualing narrated with a soft voice. "Our Heavenhold Sect should not be the same as the sects you know of. This region is around three times larger than the Great Xia Dynasty in size, and there are more than two hundred million people here."

"Two hundred million?" Yun Lintian was shocked. "Are they the sect's members?"

"No," Tian Hualing shook her head. "From the lowest Heaven Palace disciple to the highest Main Sect Master, Heavenhold Sect only has a total of ten million members. As for the others, the majority are the Heavenhold Realm's profound practitioners, with the minority being lower realm ascenders."

"In order to enter Heavenhold Sect, they would reside within this region year-round to practice, settle down, and even go as far as to establish some forces of various sizes here. You can perhaps view the Heavenhold Region as a giant country with Heavenhold Sect as its core."

"The places between Heavenhold Sect and the borders of the Heavenhold Region are all generations of profound practitioners who work hard in hopes of joining Heavenhold Sect."

"I see," Yun Lintian nodded slightly. "I heard you talked about the lower realm ascenders earlier. From what I know, people who call themselves natives here usually discriminate against those people from the lower realm. It's not the case here?"

Tian Hualing said with a smile. "It used to be in the past, but our Realm King has changed it. I can safely say that the Heavenhold Realm is the one and only middle-level realm that has no discrimination against the lower realm ascenders."

"No wonder." Yun Lintian was enlightened. Since he arrived here, he had rarely seen any discrimination against the lower realm people. It was contrasted with what Hongyue told him.

The immortal mist grew increasingly faint as Yun Lintian was gradually able to see what was below them. Rows of mountains and rivers could be seen everywhere, and some majestic buildings were scattered around the place.

Suddenly, the flying boat accelerated fast enough to make Yun Lintian subconsciously close his eyes. When he opened them, the speed of the flying boat suddenly slowed before completely grinding to a halt.

Thud—

The flying boat landed in the open space. Before Yun Lintian were numerous unusually tall structures, palaces, and buildings. The tall ones were at most three kilometers tall, and the shortest was close to three hundred meters. They were all built with wood and blue bricks, reflecting warm light. 

In this area, the elements of wood and wind were so rich and active that they had reached their pinnacle. If he looked into the distance, he would see fast-moving white or green-robed silhouettes and the silhouettes of kinds of profound beasts and flying boats from time to time.

At the extreme limits of his line of sight was a three-kilometer-tall palace bigger than the entire Great Zhou Kingdom. Beside the palace was a huge tree that emitted powerful might that nearly enveloped the entire world.

"Let's go down." Tian Hualing got up and flew out of the boat.

Yun Lintian gently held Ning Yue and jumped off the boat, landing on the ground beside it.

"Up ahead is the Heaven Territory, the place where Heaven Palace is located. Unofficial disciples are not allowed to enter and exit at will. If they encounter a disciple of the sect, they would be sure to be interrogated. However, since you two were brought here by me, you don't have to worry." Tian Hualing said softly.

"Because of the regulation here, even with my status, I cannot bring you two indirectly. I'll have to make you wait for me here first." She said apologetically.

Yun Lintian nodded in an understanding manner. "No worries, senior."

Tian Hualing turned to the two women behind her and said. "Bring them to the reception hall first."

"Understood." The two women responded readily.

Tian Hualing didn't say anything further and disappeared from the place.

"This way, please." The two women said to Yun Lintian.

"Many thanks." Yun Lintian said politely and followed the two to the nearest building.

Along the way, Yun Lintian could see many people go back and forth, busy with their own businesses. 

"It's so comfortable here." Ning Yue said in a low voice while looking around curiously. A hint of nervousness could be seen in her eyes. After all, this was the most important place in the entire Heavenhold Realm.

"Indeed." Yun Lintian nodded gently." The wood element here is very rich. It's suitable for you to practice the alchemy art."
