Myth Beyond Heaven

Everyone at the scene looked at the glowing orchids in astonishment. They could feel the terrifying pressure in the air, crushing their very souls.

Ning Yue was dumbfounded. She had no idea what was happening at the moment. She simply wanted to unleash her divine power, but the orchids inexplicably responded.

Buzz—

All of a sudden, multiple streaks of green light shot into the sky, causing a stir across the entire world. The clouds scattered, and the wind blew. A moment later, all the green beams combined into one pillar of light and descended towards Xian An.

"Not good." Jin Long and Yun Lintian exclaimed in unison. The two of them activated their movement techniques and rushed towards Xian An.

Xian An's face turned pale. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the approaching green beam.

"Retract your power!" Yue Chuntao quickly said to Ning Yue.

"I-I can't control it!" Ning Yue panicked. She had already stopped circulating her divine energy, but the green beam continued to move.

Yue Chuntao's heart sank. She didn't care about Xian An's life or death, but it would not be good to kill someone here. After all, she didn't know if Lan Qinghe would hold Ning Yue responsible.

Just as Yue Chuntao was about to unleash her power, Lan Qinghe suddenly appeared and waved her hand. The pillar of green light immediately disappeared without a trace, and the orchids returned to their original calm state.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

Xian An didn't even notice that her entire body was drenched in cold sweat at that moment. The fear she hadn't felt for countless years still lingered in her heart.

She was certain that she wouldn't survive such an attack.

"Thank you for saving my life, Saintess." She bowed deeply to Lan Qinghe.

"Stand down." Lan Qinghe spoke.

With a flash, she appeared in front of Ning Yue and placed her finger on the latter's forehead.

"It's really the World Tree... How did it appear here?" Lan Qinghe muttered under her breath. A hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Yun Lintian arrived beside Ning Yue and asked with concern. "Are you alright?"

"I-I am fine, Big Brother Yun." Ning Yue stammered. Her face was as pale as a white sheet.

Yun Lintian felt relieved. He turned to Lan Qinghe and asked. "What happened?"

Lan Qinghe retracted her finger and asked Ning Yue. "Do you know what is inside your body?"

"I-I don't know." Ning Yue shook her head quickly.

Lan Qinghe turned to Yun Lintian and asked. "How did you two meet?"

Yun Lintian knew that Lan Qinghe must know something about the sprout inside Ning Yue's body. He quickly told her about Ning Yue's experience and how they met.

Lan Qinghe went silent for a moment and then suddenly burst into laughter.

Everyone looked at her in a daze, unsure of what she was laughing at. Especially Xian An and Jin Long. This was the first time they heard Saintess Orchid laugh.

"I see... I see." Lan Qinghe talked to herself.

She calmed down and attentively looked at Ning Yue. "I want to accept you as my disciple. Are you willing?"

Everyone was shocked when she spoke. Who was Lan Qinghe? This was a genuine True God!

Ning Yue was dumbfounded. Her mind went blank as she hadn't expected to hear this.

Yun Lintian frowned slightly and asked. "Why?"

"She and I are destined. Our meeting here is not a coincidence." Lan Qinghe answered vaguely.

At that moment, Yue Hua approached and glanced at Ning Yue. "If you want to help him, you should accept it."

Ning Yue regained her composure and instinctively glanced at Yun Lintian, seeking his opinion.

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. He couldn't understand why Lan Qinghe wanted to accept Ning Yue as her disciple, but he believed it shouldn't be bad.

He looked at Ning Yue and said. "Just follow your heart. No one can force you if you don't want to."

Ning Yue bit her lip and lowered her head, deep in contemplation.

"What is she doing? This is obviously a fate-changing opportunity." Xian An muttered. Her eyes were filled with envy as she gazed at Ning Yue.

Meanwhile, Jin Long looked at Yun Lintian and Ning Yue with a pensive expression. He was curious about their backgrounds.

A moment later, Ning Yue raised her head to look at Lan Qinghe before dropping to one knee. "Disciple Ning Yue pays respect to her master."

"Very good. You are my second disciple. I will take you to visit your senior sister when we have a chance in the future." Lan Qinghe said softly and helped Ning Yue up.

"Congratulations, Master. You have accepted a good disciple." Xiao Ju and the other maidservants nearby said in unison.

Yun Lintian stared at Lan Qinghe and said. "Although I know I am a weakling in front of you, I will definitely hold you accountable if you dare to harm her."

Xian An looked at Yun Lintian as if he were an idiot. "Has he gone insane?"

"Don't worry. She is my disciple. How could I mistreat her?" Lan Qinghe wasn't angry and did take Yun Lintian's words seriously.

Yun Lintian nodded gently and turned to Lin Xinyao and the others. "Let's take a rest first."

"Roar!" A ferocious roar shook the entire sky of the Heavenhold Realm. Several ancient creatures could be seen flying everywhere.

On the land below, numerous cities and towns lay in ruins, reduced to piles of debris, with human bodies scattered all over the place. It was a scene of tragic devastation.

Inside the Heavenhold Sacred Hall, Tian Xue bowed her head and spoke. "Report to the elders. All of the major cities have fallen now. Everyone is running to our place. I'm afraid we cannot accommodate all of them. What should we do?"

Tian Jia frowned deeply and said. "Close the border."

"No." Tian Hualing quickly interjected. "We must help all of them."

"Help them? How?" Tian Jia glared at her. "Do you see those beasts? We don't even know if we can block them. What's the point of taking those people in at this critical moment?"

Tian Hualing looked at Tian Jia and said solemnly. "If the Sect Master were here, she would never allow you to do it."

Tian Jia pursed her lips and remained silent.

In the past decade, Tian Yuhan had never stepped out of the secret room, and no one knew her condition was...
