Myth Beyond Heaven

"Failed?" Inside a luxury room somewhere among the sea of stars, Dongfang Chen, Dongfang Xue's cousin, squinted at the servant.

The servant confirmed, "According to our spies, those pirates targeted a group of passersby and were ultimately killed."

"Hmph. Incompetence," Dongfang Chen scoffed. "That's why they remain lowly pirates."

"The youngest miss has invited these people onto her ark and is heading back to the headquarters," the servant explained.

"Oh?" Dongfang Chen's surprise was evident. "Are they powerful?"

"One is a lesser god, the rest are god emperors. A woman among them can wield dragon art," the servant replied.

"Dragon art?" Dongfang Chen's eyes flickered with excitement. "Are you certain?"

"Indeed, young master. The aura she displayed was undoubtedly that of a dragon," the servant confirmed.

Dongfang Chen touched his chin thoughtfully. "Given their current situation, her origin from the Dragon God Realm seems improbable... This situation is intriguing."

He looked at the servant and instructed, "Prepare my profound ark. We are returning."

"As you command, young master," the servant acknowledged before promptly leaving.

"It seems, my dear sister," Dongfang Chen said to himself with a playful smile, "you've stumbled upon something interesting."

The profound ark shuttled through numerous stars, soon approaching a massive blue planet. The size of the planet was twice that of the Mystic God Realm.

"This is our Far East Realm," Dongfang Xue introduced.

Looking at Fu Yong, she said, "We'll head directly to the headquarters."

"Understood, Miss," Fu Yong replied, then went to see the pilot.

The profound ark gradually entered the Far East Realm's sphere, and soon, a beautiful landscape unfolded before everyone's eyes.

Yun Lintian observed the scenic beauty with a thoughtful expression. A single glance revealed the relative peacefulness of this place, which seemed strange considering its massive size.

The Far East Realm boasted a richer aura than the Great Expanse, capable of nurturing true gods. According to Dongfang Xue, the Far East Trading Group was backed by a true god, the founder of the Dongfang Clan. Additionally, they possessed twelve God Ascension Realm powerhouses and numerous high gods, solidifying their formidable status.

Upon hearing this, Yun Lintian was momentarily stunned speechless. This information challenged his understanding of the vast and monstrous nature of the Primal Chaos.

Shortly, the profound ark arrived above a sprawling city that dwarfed any city Yun Lintian had ever seen. It would likely take a whole month to traverse it from one end to the other.

"This is our capital city," Dongfang Xue said with a smile. She pointed to a prominent row of buildings below and added, "That's our headquarters."

Yun Lintian and his companions turned their attention to the headquarters as the profound ark descended.

Nestled within the bustling heart of Far East Capital City stood the illustrious headquarters of the Far East Trading Group. Its weathered facade, constructed from a dark, jade-like stone, bore the etchings of mythical creatures and forgotten symbols, each stroke imbued with a subtle energy that pulsed faintly in the air.

Two imposing stone lions, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly emerald light, guarded the entrance. Their imposing presence served as a silent testament to the power and prestige of the Far East Group.

As the profound ark gradually approached the ground, Yun Lintian and the others could hear the low hum of conversations as merchants from across the continent went in and out.

"Please follow me. I will bring everyone to your accommodation first." Dongfang Xue said and walked off the profound ark, followed by Yun Lintian and his companions.

Along the way, Yun Lintian and the others kept looking around and marveling at this place's imposing buildings. Those god emperor's palaces they had seen before were nothing in front of these buildings.

"The aura… It's very strong." Yun Yi said through a sound transmission. "I don't think we can escape unscratched."

"These formations are very ancient. Some of them have the characteristics of the Primordial Era." Yun Lintian said as he detected numerous formations around this place.

"Unless we escape to the Land of Beyond Heaven, it is impossible to leave."

Everyone fell silent. They didn't know whether it was a good idea to come here.

"We will leave as soon as we get the profound ark," Yun Lintian said gently. "Unfortunately, we cannot modify the ship ourselves."

With the absence of Yun Lingwei, there was no one who could build and modify a skyship. Yun Lintian didn't want to waste time doing it. Buying from Dongfang Xue was certainly the best choice.

time doing it. Buying from Dongfang Xue was certainly the best choice.

Ten minutes later, Yun Lintian's group arrived in a beautiful courtyard. Meticulously manicured bonsai trees adorned the space, and koi ponds teeming with vibrant fish provided tranquil havens amidst the bustling activity.

"Please stay here for a day," Dongfang Xue explained gently. "I'll notify you when the profound ark is ready. If you have anything, you can contact me through a transmission device over there." She pointed at a large version of the transmission jade.

"Many thanks, Miss Dongfang," Yun Lintian replied.

"It should be me who thanks you," Dongfang Xue added. "I can guarantee that no one will come here to disturb you." She said gently before taking her leave.

"Alright," Yun Lintian nodded and watched Dongfang Xue walk away. He turned to look at the beautiful courtyard and said, "Maybe we should copy this style."

Yun Lintian stepped forward as he spoke and walked into the courtyard, followed by Yun Yi and the others. Qingqing jumped off Yun Lintian's embrace and ran to the garden, looking at everything curiously. Meanwhile, Gui Xuan and Hei Shou went to see the koi in the pond.

"Is this how you often get into trouble?" Zhang Yu glanced at Yun Lintian and asked.

Yun Lintian chuckled and said, "Even if I don't take the initiative to find trouble, it will come to me by itself. You saw it previously. We were clearly avoiding them, yet they chose to attack us."

"Besides, it's not bad to come here. We really need a better profound ark."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu turned away and walked to Gui Xuan.

Yun Lintian turned to Long Qingxuan and said, "You should get some rest."

Long Qingxuan didn't say anything and walked into a vacant room.

"Do you need to check around?" Yun Yi asked.

"No need," Yun Lintian shook his head. "While we will likely get into Dongfang Xue's trouble, we should not take the initiative to show ourselves. Someone will come here sooner or later."

"Moreover, we have no idea how deep this place is."
