Myth Beyond Heaven

"By the way, who is the cave guardian, Senior?" Yun Lintian asked after adjusting his mood.

"I'm not too sure myself. She could be the first generation Frozen Moon Palace Master or existence beyond that." Principal Tian answered while looking at the cave entrance with curiosity.

He came here a few times in the past, but he had never seen or perceived any existence in this place. However, he knew that something was guarding this place. Otherwise, it would be long gone by now.

Yun Lintian frowned slightly, trying to use his Spiritual Sense to check on the cave, but nothing could be found in the end. He sighed helplessly and gave up, preparing to leave. Anyway, he planned to come back within five years. At that time, Yun Qianxue should have come out already.

Yun Lintian turned to Principal Tian and said. "I'll have to trouble Senior monitoring this place once in a while. If she came out, please tell her about me so that she doesn't have to worry about me."

Principal Tian smiled. "No problem… Go now?"

Yun Lintian took one last glance at the Eternal Frozen Cave and prepared to leave. However, the moment was about to tell Principal Tian, a mysterious female voice suddenly resounded in his mind.

"Another one with the highest aptitude? How come there are so many talented individuals popping up one after another recently… Looks like I've been cooping in this place for too long." The voice's owner seemed to mutter to herself.

A curious expression appeared on Yun Lintian's face as he asked attentively. "Who are you?"

Hearing this, Principal Tian was puzzled and scanned the place with his powerful Spiritual Sense. After confirming there was no single sign of life around here besides him and Yun Lintian, Principal Tian looked at Yun Lintian and asked. "Who are you talking with?"

Yun Lintian shook his head and explained in puzzlement. "I heard a female voice earlier. Senior didn't hear it?"

Principal Tian's brows knitted together and stared at the cave while saying. "I didn't hear anything. Could it be the cave guardian?"

After a while, Yun Lintian didn't hear any reply from the mysterious voice owner. He drew closer to the cave entrance and asked again. "Are you the cave guardian?"

"Cave guardian? I see. Everyone has forgotten about me already, huh?" The female voice rang out once again. This time, Principal Tian could also hear it clearly.

The expression of Principal Tian turned respectful. He lowered his posture slightly and asked. "Are you, perhaps, the First Generation Frozen Moon Palace Master, Senior?"

"Oh? You recognized me?… Hmm? Why did you look somewhat familiar?… This aura… Are you a descendant of Tian Zuo?" The First Generation Frozen Moon Palace Master said.

Hearing this, Principal Tian had become even more respectful as he replied. "Yes. This Junior is indeed a descendant of Ancestor Tian Zuo."

According to the record he got, The First Generation Frozen Moon Palace Master had existed since five thousand years ago. It could be seen how powerful she was to be alive until now. Even if she was just a residual soul, she was still a respectable figure.

"Not bad. Although your foundation is lacking, your essence is solid. In this era, your strength should be ranked among the top brasses… Is the little guy beside you your student?" The First Generation Frozen Moon Palace Master said with a hint of praise.

Principal Tian replied. "Yes, he has just entered the academy for a while… Today, this Junior brought him here to see his godmother. This Junior discovered that she had entered the cave not long ago."

"I see." The First Generation Frozen Moon Palace Master immediately understood. She went silent for a moment and said to Yun Lintian. "She's currently in a crucial state. I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. She won't be able to leave for a few years. However, you don't have to worry about her. She's safe here with me."

Yun Lintian was relieved to hear this, but he still had some concern in his heart. After all, he didn't see Yun Qianxue with his own eyes. It was difficult to get rid of this uneasy feeling.

He hesitated briefly and asked cautiously. "Uhm… Senior, is her personality going to change after a year of practicing? For example, losing memory or cutting all the emotions."

Yun Lintian couldn't help asking this because he had read too many novels where the female lead completely changed after a year of practice under an old hag's guidance.

"Of course, she would." The First Generation Frozen Moon Palace Master's answer made Yun Lintian's body stiffen. She added. "Her aptitude is one of the best I've ever seen so far. She is comparable to the Misty Cloud Palace's founder back then. I have estimated that she would soon become the world's number one practitioner. At that time, do you think her personality wouldn't change? As for losing memory and emotions, where did you hear about it from?"

Yun Lintian heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It seemed that cliche plot wasn't going to happen. He hurriedly said. "This Junior thanks Senior for taking care of her… This Junior would like to trouble Senior to tell her that I will come back to see her within five years. Please do not find me and wait for me here."

"Sure. I'll tell her when she woke up." The First Generation Frozen Moon Palace Master replied generously. "You said she's your godmother? I wonder why did your aptitude be even better than her?… I can also perceive a similarity between your Profound Vein and hers. But… it looks as though her Profound Vein was coming from you."

Yun Lintian's heart shook slightly. As expected from someone who lived for a long time. She could tell about his and Yun Qianxue's Profound Veins to this extent. This woman was not easy at all.

Before Yun Lintian could reply, her voice resounded once again. "Never mind. I won't pry into your secret further… I can see that you have your own way, so I won't try to keep you here." She paused for a moment and asked Principal Tian. "How's the situation outside?"
