Myth Beyond Heaven



The expressions of Jiang Shuren and the others changed slightly upon hearing the man's words. An idea emerged in their minds. As long as they reached the tower, they would be safe and sound from these "cursed people."

The problem was, how could they outpace him?

The man let out a long breath as he tried to calm the irritation in his heart and said. "You have no idea how torment we are to live in this miserable place for years. All we could do was wait for people to come and kill them. What's the difference between animals and us?"

Yun Lintian could sense a shift in the man's mental outlook. The way he offered Yun Lintian a chance to live like him proved that he was lonely deep down in his heart and needed someone to accompany him and want to leave this place if possible.

"What is your decision?" The man looked at Yun Lintian and asked in a deep voice.

In fact, he didn't need to ask for Yun Lintian's opinion at all, but since Yun Lintian would be accompanying him in the future, he felt it necessary to consider Yun Lintian's willingness. As the saying goes, a melon forced off its vine is not sweet.[1]

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. "I can see that the curse within your body is another type of dark energy. I'm not bragging or anything, but my medical skills are very high. Perhaps I can find a way to help you return to normal."

The man sneered upon hearing this. "Don't try to deceive me. There is an old man here who claims to be the Pill Emperor, but he can't do anything about it."

"Pill Emperor?" Kong Xun was surprised. "Could he be the Pill Emperor Wan Mu?"

The man nodded. "It's him."

Kong Xun and Jiang Shuren were shocked to hear this. The Pill Emperor was originally known as the most skilled alchemist in the Divine Realm. Even the Beyond Heaven King had often asked him for advice.

The Heavenly Wood God Emperor and the Heavenly Water God Emperor, who established the Divine Alchemy Association, were also disciples of the Pill Emperor. It was evident how high his prestige was.

Kong Xun and Jiang Shuren didn't expect to find such a figure stuck in this place.

Yun Lintian frowned slightly and said. "I don't know how proficient he is in medical skills, but regardless of his expertise, it doesn't imply that he knows more than me. Maybe I can come up with a solution that he has never thought of before."

It wasn't just the man, but also Kong Xun and the others, who were surprised by Yun Lintian's bold statement. If Yun Lintian spoke like this in the outside world, he would certainly be scolded from all sides. The Pill Emperor was considered the ultimate authority in the field of alchemy, yet Yun Lintian claimed to know better. How arrogant was that?

The man stared attentively at Yun Lintian and asked. "How are you going to prove it?"

Yun Lintian glanced at the black lance in the man's hand and said. "There's the same kind of energy in the lance. You can give it to me, and I will try to eliminate it."

The man thought for a moment and threw the lance towards Yun Lintian. It didn't matter to him because his strength was sufficient to kill all of them here without using the lance.

Yun Lintian utilized his divine energy to lower the lance to the ground. Under everyone's gaze, a thick vine shot out from his hand and tightly wrapped around the lance.

The power of the Tree of Life swiftly surged into the lance, causing the dark energy worms inside to react. They struggled fiercely, attempting to resist the powerful green current, but one by one, they succumbed and perished.

The man and the others could feel the lance slowly growing stronger as the corrosion from the black worms gradually disappeared. This meant Yun Lintian's method was working.

However, the process didn't last long. The worms suddenly merged together, significantly increasing their strength and fighting back against the power of the Tree of Life.

Yun Lintian retracted the vine and said. "Unfortunately, my current strength is not enough to get rid of it in one fell swoop."

The man didn't care about it because he was extremely excited at the moment. A long-lost glimmer of hope emerged in his heart when he witnessed the scene. "You… Can you remove it?"

Yun Lintian explained. "If I guess correctly, the energy inside the lance and your body is mixed with the laws of death. My current understanding of the Great Laws is too shallow."

"However, I can forcefully remove them as long as my strength is sufficient. Maybe I need to reach the Divine King Realm first."

"Divine King Realm…" The man frowned slightly. Yun Lintian was only at the first level of the Divine Tribulation Realm at the moment. There was a huge gap between the Divine King Realm and the Divine Tribulation Realm here. It would take a long time.

He looked at Yun Lintian and asked. "Why did you come here?"

To his knowledge, it was impossible for a descendant of the White Tiger God Clan to appear here for no reason.

"It may sound unbelievable, but I came here for that tower." Yun Lintian said. "More specifically, for the thing inside the tower."

"The thing inside the tower?" The man stared straight into Yun Lintian's eyes for a prolonged period and was convinced that he was telling the truth. "What is it?"

"I cannot tell you at the moment because I haven't seen it before." Yun Lintian said. "But if there's no mistake, this thing will greatly enhance my strength."

The man frowned deeply and went silent for a long while before speaking. "I can send you to the tower, but how do I know that you will not leave this place immediately?"

Before Yun Lintian could say anything, Yu Zhilan spoke first. "I'll stay with you."

Yun Lintian was taken aback and wanted to say something, but Jiang Shuren and Kong Xun interrupted him. "We will stay with you as well."

"No, Seniors. You can't do it." Yun Lintian was unwilling to let anyone sacrifice for him.

Jiang Shuren looked at him calmly and said. "I understand that this is not what you want, but there is no other option available. Besides, would you leave us behind?"

"Absolutely not." Yun Lintian shook his head.

"That's it. We will wait for you." Jiang Shuren nodded.
