Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2107 Where Moonlight Lies (1)

?Yun Lintian was slightly surprised by the confidence in Lan Qinghe’s voice.

“However,” Lan Qinghe continued, “I don’t think she’s the inheritor of the God of Life, or at least, not yet.”

“What do you mean, Senior?” Yun Lintian asked, puzzled.

“When I sensed the World Tree within her,” Lan Qinghe explained, “the restraints Sen Lou placed upon me weakened rapidly. I knew immediately that the tree held a life force surpassing the Tree of Life within you.”

“I’ve been observing her closely during this period, and she hasn’t shown any signs of possessing the God of Life’s legacy thus far. The ability to comprehend the Great Law of Life in her should come from the World Tree itself.”

“There are two possibilities: she could be the inheritor, or simply a vessel for the World Tree.” Lan Qinghe took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said gently, “We should pray she’s the former.”

Yun Lintian fell silent, stunned. The second possibility had never crossed his mind. If Ning Yue were truly a vessel of the World Tree, it would mean her life wasn’t her own. Such a fate was unacceptable.

After a moment’s thought, Yun Lintian said, “We need to find Gu Buxiu. He must know something about this.”

“The Great Law of Life is deadly to him,” Lan Qinghe replied gently. “I will try to restrain him next time.”

From their earlier exchange, Lan Qinghe could roughly gauge Gu Buxiu’s strength. His power primarily stemmed from the accumulation he extracted from the remains of the ancient god in this place. Having learned his trick, she wouldn’t be caught off guard again.

“Let’s go,” Yun Lintian didn’t waste time further and quickly left the sanctum.

Somewhere behind the mist, two figures—a woman and a man with a serene demeanor from the Primordial Tribe God—silently observed Yun Lintian’s group.

“Gu Buxiu is a coward as usual,” Mo Lianxing, the woman, spoke with contempt.

“Indeed,” Bei Yixiang, the man, said calmly. “He wouldn’t have survived this long otherwise.”

He fixed his gaze attentively on Yun Lintian’s group. “He possesses greater talent than Yun Tian.”

Mo Lianxing shot him a glance and curled her lips. “Here we go again. Are you going to say it here?”

“We had no reason to be Yun Tian’s enemy in the first place,” Bei Yixiang responded calmly. “We made a mistake once. No need to repeat it.”

Mo Lianxing studied him intently. “I’ve always been curious. Why did you join this group? Your Bei Clan was quite close to the Butterfly Clan back then.”

Bei Yixiang paused before turning to face her. “And what about you?”

Mo Lianxing chuckled. “I’m the only survivor. To revive the Mo Clan, I need a powerful backer.”

Her smile turned charming as she added, “Be careful. Those people aren’t as kind as I am.”

Bei Yixiang remained unfazed. “The same goes for you. I’m not as kind as you might believe.”

With a single step, Bei Yixiang vanished.

The smile vanished from Mo Lianxing’s face. She turned her gaze back to Yun Lintian’s group in the distance and muttered, “Unfortunately, I have no other choice.”

Her form blurred before disappearing into thin air.

BOOM!

A powerful aura erupted from within a spacious training room. Hongyue opened her eyes, clenching her fists a few times as if trying to grasp a newfound power.

“So this is how the Middle God Realm feels like,” Hongyue murmured to herself.

She couldn’t recall how many years she had spent in this room. Thankfully, the results were better than anticipated.

Hongyue waved her hand, replacing her tattered robe with a new red one before walking out of the room.

She glanced at the other nearby rooms first, noticing they were all occupied. It seemed everyone didn’t slack off.

Without further thought, Hongyue descended the stairs, preparing to leave the tower.

However, upon reaching the ground floor, she was immediately met with the sight of a white figure lying on a soft cushion. It was none other than Mumu.

Mumu, in her human form, squinted her jade-like eyes at Hongyue and said, “You’ve finally emerged.”

“Mumu? Why are you here?” Hongyue’s surprise was evident. This was the first time she had seen Mumu in human form.

The Lunar Jade Rabbit, Mumu, was discovered by Yue Xiurong, Lin Xinyao’s mother, during her experience-gaining journey. Later, she was left behind to accompany Lin Xinyao in the Azure World.

Hongyue hadn’t had much opportunity to learn about Mumu.

“Naturally, I’m waiting for you,” Mumu replied calmly, rising from the cushion.

“Waiting for me?” Hongyue frowned slightly. “Where are Xinyao and Lintian?”

“They’ve already departed for the God Tomb,” Mumu responded. “Please, sit down first.”

Hongyue didn’t say anything and sat down opposite Mumu, waiting for the explanation.

“Not bad. You’ve already reached the Middle God Realm. It’s much faster than I’d expected.” Mumu looked at Hongyue with a hint of approval.

“Who are you exactly?” Hongyue stared at Mumu.

“I am the only survival of the Lunar Jade Rabbit Clan,” Mumu didn’t hide anything.

Hongyue was stunned and quickly asked. “Why didn’t you tell us from the beginning?”

Mumu undoubtedly knew everything that had happened in the past. Hongyue couldn’t understand why Mumu had kept everyone in the dark for all these years.

“It wasn’t my choice,” Mumu sighed softly. “A large part of my memory was sealed. I could only recall my name, origin, and a few people, like Aunty Bai, Linlin’s mother.”

“Who did it?” Hongyue furrowed her brow. Everyone around Yun Lintian with ties to the past had their memories sealed or erased. She had always wanted to know who the mastermind was.

“A woman,” Mumu answered truthfully. “I don’t know her name and I hadn’t seen her before. During the Primordial War, my clan sent me away. When everything ended, I grieved for my family and fainted.”

“I felt like I’d slept forever. When I woke up, this woman was the first person I saw. I also discovered that my memory was sealed. She told me Yue Xiurong would find me and that I had to stay with her until she gave birth to her daughter. Afterward, I had to remain by her daughter’s side.”

Hongyue reeled in shock. What kind of existence was this woman? To know Yue Xiurong would give birth to Lin Xinyao was far beyond the realm of divination.

“Have you regained your memory?” she asked.

Mumu took a sip of tea before replying calmly, “Yes. That’s why I was waiting for you here.”
