Myth Beyond Heaven

“Oh…” Lu Bo nodded. “The four clans, Tang, Sui, Zeng, and Shi, had the duties to protect each city gate. Our Tang clan was protecting the eastern gate, the Dragon Gate, while the Zeng clan was responsible for the southern gate, the Vermilion Bird Gate.”

“Meanwhile, the Sui and the Shi clan were responsible for the western and the northern gate, the White Tiger Gate, and the Black Tortoise Gate, respectively.”

“With four seals plus the Skymist Ancient Clan’s emperor seal, we can control or move the ancient city at will.” Lu Bo paused for a moment and continued. “This was why no one dared to attack us in the past.”

Yun Lintian slowly nodded his head. “So, this Shi Longwei is trying to collect all the seals? How many are in his hands now?”

“Two.” Lu Bo said. “Before the incident happened, the Shi clan had conspired against the Zeng clan and ultimately stole the Zeng clan’s seal just a few hours early… As long as he could collect three of them, he could use the seals to open the protective barrier, and perhaps it could resist the windstorm. At that time, he could enter the city whenever he wanted and controlled the entire city.”

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and asked. “Wouldn’t it be better to leave your clan’s seal there?”

Lu Bo shook his head. “I have no idea about the other seals’ whereabouts. Especially the Skymist Emperor Seal. As long as my clan’s seal is in our hands, Shi Longwei wouldn’t be able to control the entire city with the four seals.”

Yun Lintian immediately understood. Basically, it required at least three seals to open the city’s protective formation because Lu Bo wasn’t sure whether the other seals were inside the city or outside. If it was the latter, Shi Longwei could simply open the barrier and go inside to get the Tang clan’s seal.

Lu Bo said further. “Besides that, I believe the Skymist Ancient Clan’s top treasure, Skymist Pearl, is still inside the manor. This pearl can convert the profound energy into divine energy.”

Upon hearing this, a look of shock finally appeared on Guchang and Mu Qiuxue’s faces. As the peak Monarchs half-step away from the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm, they were well aware of how crucial the divine energy was.

Similar to the Divine Stones they obtained from the Water Cave, as long as they continued to absorb the divine energy, breaking through to the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm wouldn’t be a problem… And this Skymist Pearl could actually produce the divine energy! It was no wonder the Skymist Ancient Clan was so powerful.

“You have to get this pearl, My King.” Lauya’s voice suddenly resounded in Yun Lintian’s mind.

Yun Lintian asked in surprise. “Oh? Why is that?”

To his understanding, Lauya was a high-level spirit, and a mere divine-rank treasure shouldn’t be able to enter her eyes. Why did she suddenly say this?

“This Skymist Pearl should be a minor artifact called the energy congregation bead. My King can put it in the Land of Beyond Heaven. The profound energy inside will slowly turn into the divine energy within a year at least.” Lauya explained.

Yun Lintian’s eyes lit up. Before this, he was thinking about how to improve the progress speed of the Misty Cloud Sect disciples, and this Skymist Pearl could definitely improve it to the next level.

Moreover, they would have a high chance of breaking through into the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm in the near future. He must get this Skymist Pearl at all costs.

“However, you must pay attention to the traps around the treasury. Although I doubt it is still working after so many years, it’s better to be cautious.” Lu Bo warned.

“Thanks for the info, Senior.” Yun Lintian smiled. He glanced toward the sky and said. “It’s time. Seniors should leave now.”

Lu Bo and Zhou Ya didn’t say anything further. They quickly carried Tang Huifang and disappeared from the place.

After confirming they had already boarded the skyship, Yun Lintian immediately told the pilot to send them to the Divine Phoenix Palace.

“I think I have some impressions about the Skymist Ancient Clan’s head.” Guchang suddenly said. “At that time, the Western Continent was at odd with other continents, and we didn’t have much interaction with them. However, I once heard my grandpa talk about the Skymist Ancient City and the head of the clan.”

“If I remembered correctly, everyone seemed to call him Skymist Emperor. My grandpa said this person could easily rival the old patriarch of the Sky Qilin Clan, Senior Tianqi Zongwei’s father, at his peak state.”

Guchang shook his head slightly. “It wasn’t until earlier did I remember this.”

“I wonder how strong Longevity Monarch is to be regarded as the number one expert.” Mu Qiuxue, who was silent all this time, suddenly said.

Guchang racked his brain up, but he couldn’t remember anything about this Longevity Monarch. After all, he was too young at that time, and the Western Continent was isolated from the other continents. It was difficult for them to get information.

Yun Lintian was also curious about this. Up until now, excluding Hongyue, the strongest person he had encountered was the Dragon of Death, Jue Kong. He couldn’t imagine how powerful this Longevity Monarch was. Perhaps he was weaker than Jue Kong. Otherwise, he wouldn’t run away like that.

Yun Lintian put this matter aside and said. “We will stay here for another day and see what we can get. After that, I will go straight to the Skymist Ancient City’s site. All of you can return to the Moon Garden and practice there with peace of mind.”

Guchang and Mu Qiuxue had no objection, while Fan smiled bitterly. He just had the chance to come out of the “hellish training,” yet he had to face it again soon.

“What? You don’t want to?” Guchang glared at Fan when he saw the latter’s bitter expression. “Look how weak you are. You had almost died by the poison.”

Fan wanted to retort, “weren’t you the same?” but he had to swallow it back to his stomach.
