Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1696 Sea of Death (1)

The Southern Divine Region was relatively spacious, comparable to the Central Divine Region and the Western Divine Region. It ranked second in terms of population. At the same time, it was rich in resources and rare treasures. Most of the precious treasures in those auction houses came from this place.

“The dark aura here is far stronger than in other places.” Yun Lintian looked at the gloomy aura around him.

“Devil Valley is not far away from here. It’s normal to be like this.” Master Bai said and glanced at some fragments floating around the area. “Thankfully, the Dragon Princess moved the Azure World away.”

Yun Lintian nodded in agreement. The Azure World was originally located in the southeastern part of the Southern Divine Region. It was within the scope of the invasion by the ancient beasts.

He looked at a few mid-level realms in the far distance and said. “What is the point of ruling over ruins?”

Although Yun Lintian could understand the intention of those god emperors for not taking action in this situation, he strongly disagreed with their approach. Once these lower and mid-level stars were gone, their god realms would definitely be affected to some extent.

“How do you think they became god emperors?” Master Bai asked. “Whether in the lower realm or the Divine Realm, most top powerhouses attain their status through selfishness. The higher they can reach, the more selfish they become. It is a law of nature.”

He glanced at the devastating stars in the distance and continued. “It doesn’t matter if these stars are gone or not, as long as they can survive.”

“I know. After all, no one wants to help others for nothing.” Yun Lintian responded. “It’s just that I don’t think I could stay on the sidelines and do nothing.”

“You are too young, and you have obtained your power more easily than others. It is normal for you to have this sense of responsibility for others.” Master Bai said calmly. He seemed to gaze into the distant past.

“When I was young, I was born with no talent, and my profound vein was destroyed by my clansmen because I refused to give them the food I found. Afterward, I lived in constant fear, surviving on tree bark and insects to prolong my life. I was determined not to die before I could exact my revenge.”

“During those fifty years, I did everything I could to treat my profound vein. I didn’t hesitate to risk my life for a small opportunity, hoping it could change my destiny. The experiences during that time shaped me into a selfish person. I had never helped anyone, even when I had the opportunity.”

“Fortunately, the heavens took pity on me. When I escaped from my enemy, I accidentally stumbled upon a magical place called Maya Forest. In there, I found a cure for my profound vein, and the trajectory of my life began to change since then.”

“Maya Forest?” Yun Lintian was surprised. “I encountered two people who were originally plants during my journey in the Sea of Stars. They told me that they came from the Maya Forest.”

“Really?” Master Bai was surprised. “This means you have fate with that place. Try to go there when you have the opportunity.”

“What kind of magical place is that?” Yun Lintian asked curiously.

“It is the purest land in the Divine Realm.” Master Bai spoke. “In there, everyone lives in harmony. There is no suffering or anything.”

Yun Lintian was surprised and asked further. “How do you get in?”

“You can’t. Unless someone from inside invites you in.” Master Bai shook his head.

Yun Lintian opened his palm, and the small maple leaf Bai Xue had given him appeared in the air. “You mean this?”

Master Bai stared at the maple leaf in astonishment. “You are really… Ugh. I truly have no words to express. Your luck is simply defying the heavens. This maple leaf represents the highest level of courtesy from the people in the Maya Forest. The one you met should be a child of the forest ruler.” 𝐨𝘃𝗹.

Yun Lintian was taken aback. “Forest ruler? She mentioned something about her master. Is her master the ruler of the forest?”

“Without a doubt.” Master Bai said confidently.

“This person must be very strong, right? Why haven’t I heard his or her name yet?” Yun Lintian asked in doubt.

“She is indeed strong, but her power is not for destruction but for creation. As for why you’ve never heard her name, it’s because not many people know about her. Even Ren Yuan may not know about it.” Master Bai explained.

Yun Lintian was surprised. “I will visit that place when I have the opportunity.”

“You should.” Master Bai responded.

A week later, Yun Lintian finally arrived at the Death Sea Realm. It was an independent realm with an incredibly vast territory. More than ninety-nine percent of the area was covered by the black ocean, with only a single massive landmass located on the western side.

Yun Lintian looked at the dark ocean below and felt a churn in his stomach for an unknown reason. The aura here was dreadful as if there were millions of corpses beneath the black water.

Moreover, Yun Lintian discovered that his Spiritual Sense could not penetrate the ocean’s surface. It was as if there were a barrier blocking him.

“Do not lower the profound ark. Once it touches the water, it will break directly.” Master Bai warned.

“Then, how do we go down?” Yun Lintian asked with puzzlement.

“Go to the land over there. You have to find a sailor and a boat.” Master Bai replied.

Yun Lintian didn’t understand why he needed a sailor and a boat. He set aside his curiosity and swiftly steered the profound ark towards the distant continent.

“Put the profound ark away. Remember. Do not reveal your wealth, no matter what.” Master Bai said and released his power to alter the appearances of Linlin, Qingqing, and Yun Lintian. Linlin turned into a feral cat, while Qingqing and Yun Lintian were transformed into beggars.

Yun Lintian put the profound ark away and flew forward, landing on the ground.

In front of him stood a massive city. More precisely, it was like a massive refugee camp. Everyone here was poorly dressed, and they appeared to have not eaten anything for ages.

When Yun Lintian appeared, the people in this area briefly glanced at him and paid no further attention.

“Why do I feel offended by their stares?” Yun Lintian chuckled softly.

“Go to the east side and find a tavern called Breath of Death.” Master Bai instructed.
