Myth Beyond Heaven

Under the two women’s guidance, Yun Lintian entered the reception hall. When Yun Lintian and Ning Yue stepped into the hall, they were stunned by how spacious it was.

Even though it was a great hall, it was a completely different concept than the “great halls” Yun Lintian recognized. Once he came in, it was as though he had stepped into a vast, different world. The hall was three kilometers tall, and its boundary couldn’t be seen with a mere glance.

At this moment, a pretty white-robed girl came over. When she saw the two women, she hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. “Senior Sister Xiaodie, Senior Sister Xiaowu.”

The two women, Tian Xiaodie and Tian Xiaowu nodded gently and walked further.

Yun Lintian glanced at the pretty girl—more precisely, at a sparking stone with the word “Heaven” on her left shoulder. However, he didn’t say anything and continued to follow Tian Xiaodie and Tian Xiaowu into the hall.

The pretty girl looked at Yun Lintian and Ning Yue curiously. What background did they have to make Tian Xiaodie and Tian Xiaowu personally take care of them? Moreover, Yun Lintian’s strength wasn’t high at all. Not to mention Ning Yue.

With their status as Heavenhold Palace disciples, Tian Xiaodie and Tian Xiaowu instantly became the center of attention to everyone in the hall. It was a rare sight to see someone with their status here.

At the same time, they also looked at Yun Lintian and Ning Yue in confusion, but no one dared to ask anything.

A while later, Yun Lintian’s group arrived at an inner area where waves of people were neatly arranged, spreading all the way until the end of one’s line of sight.

The auras of each and every person here were incomparably strong—definitely auras that surpassed the Monarch Profound Realm without a single exception. Though there were so many people here, the great hall was still particularly quiet and solemn.

Tian Xiaodie and Tian Xiaowu turned left at the first pillar and turned to Yun Lintian. “You can take a rest here first. I believe Supreme Elder would come here soon.”

“Many thanks.” Yun Lintian said and brought Ning Yue to sit on a wooden bench nearby the wall.

Tian Xiaodie and Tian Xiaowu didn’t leave. They found a vacant bench nearby to sit down and closed their eyes, meditating.

Yun Lintian wanted to ask them something but swallowed back upon seeing this. He could only look at the group of people in the distance.

“What are they doing?” Ning Yue said in a low voice.

“No idea.” Yun Lintian didn’t know as well. “Maybe it’s some sort of recruitment.”

Judging from the people’s nervous expressions and cautious movements, Yun Lintian guessed they came here to participate in an assessment.

“They are here for the recruitment examination.” Suddenly, a male voice resounded from the side.

When Yun Lintian and Ning Yue looked over, they saw a chubby man walk over and sit down beside Yun Lintian.

The chubby man didn’t seem to care about Yun Lintian and Ning Yue’s strange gazes. He said further. “This kind of assessment happens once every year, and it lasts for around a week. Today is the last day. Among these hundreds of thousands of people, only a few thousand could enter the Heaven Palace.”

He sighed slightly. “If they fail the examination today, they must wait five years to take part in it again… Alas, it’s really difficult.”

The chubby man turned to Yun Lintian and asked. “Are you here for the assessment, brother?.. Oh, by the way. I’m Pan Weisheng from the lower realm.”

“Lin Tian. This is my sister, Lin Yue.” Yun Lintian said with an amiable smile. “We didn’t come for the assessment.”

“Oh.” Pan Weisheng looked at them in doubt, wondering why would they appear here if not for the assessment? But he didn’t ask about it.

“What about you, Brother Pan?” Yun Lintian asked. Judging from Pan Weisheng’s attire and profound strength, he shouldn’t be a disciple of the Heaven Palace.

“Of course. I’m here to join in the assessment. I’m waiting for the result right now,” Pan Weisheng answered. His face was full of worries and helplessness. Clearly, he wasn’t confident about the result.

“I wish you good luck,” Yun Lintian said with a smile and turned back to the group of people.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a long white robe got up from his seat with a book in his hand. Seeing this, Pan Weisheng, including the people in lines, became nervous.

The middle-aged man opened the book and said. “I’ll announce the result now. Those who got called can go to the end of the hall to get your nameplate directly.”

“Number 2476, Xiao Kai.”

“Yes!” A middle-aged man in the crowd threw his fist in the air and shouted excitingly. He was Xiao Kai, who had been trying for more than two hundred years.

“Number 83156, Qiu San.”

“Number…”

One after the other. Those who got called cheered loudly and excitingly rushed to the end of the hall. For them, this was a fate-changing moment.

Pan Weisheng clenched his fists nervously, praying that the middle-aged man would call his name out.

Twenty minutes passed by, and the announcement was still going on. Just as Pan Weisheng thought he had no hope, the middle-aged man suddenly said. “Number 671, Pan Weisheng.”

“YESSS!” Pan Weisheng jumped out of his seat and shouted loudly, causing Tian Xiaodie and Tian Xiaowu to look at him with a frown.

“Brother, I’ll go first! Don’t worry. I’ll cover you in the future.” Pan Weisheng said to Yun Lintian before rushing out.

Yun Lintian watched Pan Weisheng run away and shook his head amusingly.

“Congratulations to everyone who passed the assessment this time. As for those who failed, you can go back and practice hard. Let’s end here.” The middle-aged man said calmly and was about to leave. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Tian Xiaodie and Tian Xiaowu and walked over.

“Why are you two here?” The middle-aged man asked curiously. ｂ𝚍ｎｏ𝚟ｌ.

Tian Xiaodie and Tian Xiaowu responded politely. “Greetings, Senior Ren. We brought these two here under Supreme Elder’s order.”

“Supreme Elder’s order?” The middle-aged man, Tian Ren, turned to look at Yun Lintian and Ning Yue in doubt. No matter how he looked at them, they didn’t seem to have anything special… Why would Supreme Elder Tian bring them here?
