Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1859 The Land of The Dead (1)

As Yun Lintian looked at the floating bodies, he suddenly felt goosebumps. Even though he had seen many dead bodies, none of them had given him this kind of skin-crawling sensation like this.

Gui Xuan pointed at the bodies and spoke. “Not delicious.”

Yun Lintian was speechless.

He didn’t look at them any longer and quickly followed the flow of the Netherworld aura.

The deeper Yun Lintian dove, the more bodies he saw. He could even see some god emperor level beasts here. His curiosity about the Netherworld grew stronger when he saw this scene. What could possibly cause god emperors to lose their minds?

Time passed without notice. Yun Lintian didn’t know how long he had been diving. The lake seemed bottomless. However, he could see that the aura kept growing stronger, indicating that he should continue.

Gui Xuan felt bored as he was restricted to his freedom. He closed his eyes and fell asleep in Yun Lintian’s embrace.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Yun Lintian noticed a faint red light in the distance ahead.

Through the Eyes of Heaven, Yun Lintian saw a massive aura behind the red light. It was as large as a river and flew with great intensity.

Yun Lintian slowed down and approached the red light cautiously.

A moment later, he heard a wailing sound that grew louder as he approached the red light.

“Eh?” As Yun Lintian approached the red light, he realized it was actually the surface of water. It was as if he had reached the other side of the lake.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to move forward.

Chua—

Yun Lintian’s head emerged from the water. The first thing that caught his eye was a blood-red sky and a heavy aura of death. He also found himself in a river with dark, muddy banks on both sides.

“Netherworld?” Yun Lintian was certain that he had entered the Netherworld.

Gui Xuan opened his drowsy eyes and glanced around briefly. He rubbed his stomach and said. “Hungry.”

Yun Lintian was about to say something, but a voice suddenly interrupted.

“Look. There are two more newcomers.”

At this moment, two black figures appeared on the shore. They were dressed in tattered clothes, and their bodies bore some gruesome wounds. Without a doubt, they were dead souls.

“A young man and a child? Alas. They are too young.” A middle-aged man among them sighed with pity.

“Come up, boy.” He spoke and found a pole to fetch Yun Lintian from the river.

Yun Lintian did not reject him. He grabbed the pole and let them pull him up.

After reaching the shore, Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said to the two. “Thank you for helping us. May I know where this place is?”

The middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman gave him a sympathetic look. In their opinion, Yun Lintian probably wasn’t aware of his current situation.

The middle-aged man sighed and said. “You have to be strong, young man. You have already died. This is the afterlife.”

Yun Lintian pretended to be surprised. “Afterlife?”

“Yes. This is the Netherworld.” The middle-aged man spoke. “My name is Su Lei. You are standing in a wandering ghost town right now.”

“Wandering ghost town.” Yun Lintian repeated as he observed the surroundings. In the far distance, he could see numerous dilapidated cottages constructed from dried wood. Several “people” could be seen walking around the area.

“You are lucky to have met us.” The middle-aged woman spoke. “If you were to appear on the other side of the river, you would certainly be devoured by those ghost soldiers.”

Yun Lintian was puzzled. “Ghost soldiers?”

“Don’t scare him, Xu Mei.” Su Lei glared at the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman, Xu Mei, pursed her lips and said nothing more.

“Hungry.” Gui Xuan tugged on Yun Lintian’s robe and looked at him with a pitiful expression.

Xu Mei looked at Gui Xuan, and her maternal aura immediately overflowed. She carefully took out a black steamed bun from her sleeve and handed it to him. “Eat this first.”

Gui Xuan tilted his head in confusion to look at the black object.

Upon seeing this, Xu Mei let out a soft sigh and said. “I know it’s difficult to accept, but this is all we have. No matter how good your life was in the past, you have to start anew here.”

Yun Lintian reached out to grab the steamed bun and said politely. “Thank you, Sister Xu. Please forgive my younger brother. He was usually spoiled.”

“I understand. Everyone who comes here for the first time will find it difficult to accept.” Xu Mei waved her hand in a dismissive manner.

Yun Lintian broke the steamed bun made of the lowest quality flour and brought it to Gui Xuan’s mouth. However, before stuffing it into Gui Xuan’s mouth, he swiftly switched it with bread from his interspatial ring.

Gui Xuan took a bite and chewed happily.

Xu Mei was pleased when she saw the scene. “He reminds me of my son.”

Unfortunately, she died young and didn’t get a chance to see her son grow up. 𝘳.𝑐ℴ

Yun Lintian looked at Xu Mei and asked. “Do we need to eat?”

He always believed that a soul no longer required sustenance. That was why he was surprised when he saw Xu Mei taking out the steamed bun.

Xu Mei laughed softly and said. “Of course. Although we have become ghosts, we still need to eat to sustain our existence.”

Yun Lintian nodded slowly.

“Let’s not discuss it here.” Su Lei spoke and waved his hand, inviting Yun Lintian to the town.

Yun Lintian followed Su Lei and the others to the wandering ghost town. Along the way, he secretly scanned the surroundings and discovered that most of the people here were not strong. The strongest person here was comparable to a practitioner in the Heaven Profound Realm.

This made him wonder where the souls of those powerful practitioners went.

“Newcomers?”

Upon entering the town, many people immediately greeted Su Lei and looked at Yun Lintian curiously. Although it wasn’t anything new for a newcomer to appear, it still captured everyone’s attention.

Yun Lintian looked at everyone and spoke politely. “Hello, everyone. My name is Lin Yun, and this is my younger brother, Lin Xuan. Please take care of us.”

“Hehe. We can’t even take care of ourselves. How can we take care of both of you?” Someone in the crowd spoke. His words immediately elicited laughter from the others.

“Ignore them.” Xu Mei said angrily. “Come with me.”
