Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2004 The Kunlun Realm (4)

“The Kunlun Realm?” Lan Qinghe’s brow furrowed deeply. “Why the sudden inquiry?” .𝒎

Unaware of any hidden meaning, Yun Lintian replied, “We just arrived today and encountered something peculiar.”

Lan Qinghe’s eyes widened in disbelief, the first time such an expression graced her face. “Wait a minute. You’ve reached the Kunlun Realm? Are you certain?”

“Yes,” Yun Lintian confirmed, bewildered. “Is there a problem, Senior?”

Scrutinizing their faces, Lan Qinghe concluded they weren’t lying. “It shouldn’t be possible,” she said thoughtfully. “The Kunlun Realm was destroyed long ago, during the Primordial War.”

Yun Lintian and his companions were stunned into silence.

“But we just…” Zhang Yu began, his brow knitted in confusion.

Lan Qinghe interjected, “Tell me about your recent experiences.”

After a brief hesitation, Yun Lintian decided to recount everything about his father.

Upon hearing his tale, Lan Qinghe requested, “Can you show me the spatial stone your father left behind?”

Yun Yi immediately retrieved the stone and presented it to her.

Lan Qinghe examined it meticulously, then lightly tapped it with her finger.

Crackle!

The outer shell fractured and crumbled away, revealing an enigmatic teardrop-shaped stone. Its surface shimmered with a captivating blue light that writhed sinuously.

Lan Qinghe’s pupils constricted as she gasped, “The… Tears of Karma.”

The unexpected blue stone sent a jolt of shock through Yun Lintian and the others. They could sense a mysterious power emanating from it.

Lan Qinghe, hesitant to touch it further, let the stone levitate in the air. She then swiftly contacted Lin Yitong.

A moment later, Lin Yitong materialized from the gate, her gaze immediately drawn to the blue stone. “It really is the Tears of Karma.”

“What is it, Seniors?” Yun Lintian inquired anxiously.

Lin Yitong and Lan Qinghe exchanged a brief glance, seemingly reaching a silent understanding.

Lan Qinghe turned to Yun Lintian and said, “Your father… ?undoubtedly transcends our comprehension.”

“What do you mean?” Yun Lintian’s confusion deepened. What kind of existence could warrant such a statement from a true god like Lan Qinghe?

Lin Yitong gestured for them to sit. “Since you’ve inherited the Yama King’s power, you’re certainly aware of the cycle of reincarnation. While reincarnation remains shrouded in mystery, it’s demonstrably linked to karma.”

“When you reach the True God Realm, karma will become more apparent to you. Every action has a corresponding consequence, creating a cause and effect. Therefore, most True Gods only intervene when absolutely necessary.”

She met Yun Lintian’s gaze. “Similar to how we chose to interact with you and Yun Tian, creating ties with both of you. We call these ties a karma thread.”

Yun Lintian grasped the concept somewhat. He glanced at the blue stone and inquired, “How does this relate to my father?”

“The Tears of Karma is a legendary object,” Lan Qinghe explained. “No one has ever encountered it before. We can recognize it because of its ability to hold a karma thread. After all, there’s no other known object with such a property.”

“And someone capable of manipulating a karma thread is certainly extraordinary.”

Stunned for a moment, Yun Lintian then reacted. “What is its purpose, Seniors?”

“We’re uncertain,” Lin Yitong admitted, shaking her head. “Since your father left it for you, it stands to reason that only you can discover its purpose.”

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. His father hadn’t mentioned this object. Surely, if it were so important, he would have explained it.

Hesitantly, he reached out and grasped the blue stone. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Yun Lintian held the Tears of Karma tightly, but nothing happened.

Lan Qinghe and Lin Yitong studied the stone thoughtfully, equally clueless about its function.

Yun Lintian attempted to channel his divine energy into it but to no avail. Apart from the mesmerizing light show, it felt like an ordinary stone.

“Perhaps the time isn’t right,” Lin Yitong offered with a shrug.

Yun Lintian dismissed the thought and turned to Lan Qinghe. “So, Senior, what became of the Kunlun Realm?”

“There’s another legend surrounding the Tears of Karma,” Lin Yitong interjected. “It’s said to be related to the power of time and space.”

“Are you suggesting we’ve traveled back in time?” Yun Lintian ventured a bold guess. “But is that even possible?”

“This explains the lack of trouble in the Kunlun Realm,” Zhang Yu chimed in, seemingly grasping a concept. “Because it doesn’t exist in our present time at all.”

Lan Qinghe’s brow furrowed. “It’s possible. The situation presents us with several possibilities. The Kunlun Realm could have indeed survived the war and gone into hiding.”

She turned to Yun Lintian. “Did your father mention his objective by any chance?”

Yun Lintian shook his head. “No, he just wanted me to focus on spending time on Earth. He also said he was gone, and there was no need to search for him.”

“Why such certainty?” Lan Qinghe pondered. “He left the stone with a farewell message, implying he knew what lay ahead. If that’s the case, how did he pass away?”

“The name Yun Wuhan doesn’t ring a bell either,” Lin Yitong admitted with a frown. “However, one thing is certain: he must have been a True God at the very least. Otherwise, everything wouldn’t make sense.”

Her gaze met Yun Lintian’s. “I’ve always been curious about your background. Now, I seem to understand the source of your talent.”

“There’s also your mother,” Lan Qinghe added. “Based on your father’s words, she’s likely just as powerful as him.”

“The son of True Gods. That explains everything,” Lin Yitong said, finally understanding why Yun Lintian’s talent was so heaven-defying.

“Is this unusual, Seniors?” Yun Yi inquired curiously.

“It’s not unusual, but certainly rare,” Lin Yitong explained. “As far as I know, there haven’t been many children born with both parents being True Gods. Firstly, their immense power makes procreation very difficult.”

“Secondly, True Gods are typically prideful and rarely experience emotions like love or attachment. They often deem others unworthy. So, True God couples are incredibly rare.”

“In fact, I’ve only encountered no more than ten individuals born from True God couples. And their talents are undeniably the best among the best.”

“I understand,” Yun Yi acknowledged. He knew that even God Emperors rarely formed couples. Let alone True Gods.

Lin Yitong turned to Yun Lintian. “Your mother is the key. Finding her will clarify everything.”

Yun Lintian nodded grimly. Unfortunately, he lacked even a single clue about her whereabouts.

“Then I’ll accompany you,” Lin Yitong continued. “I’m curious to see if this is truly the Kunlun Realm.”
