Myth Beyond Heaven

After Xiao Weiyuan left, Yun Lintian and Shen Liqiu continued to move forward. Along the way, they had encountered violent wind turbulences, and they seized these chances to temper themselves.

Time passed by quickly. Yun Lintian had spent a whole month here since he entered the windstorm. During this period, his body realm had successfully broken through to the third level of the Monarch Profound Realm, while Shen Liqiu had reached the peak of the Saint Profound Realm with the help of Yun Lintian’s resources.

“We’ve been together for a month now. Are you really not going to tell me about your background?” Shen Liqiu nibbled on fragrant grilled meat and asked Yun Lintian, who sat opposite her.

Yun Lintian cut the grilled meat and placed them on Linlin’s plate while asking. “Why do you want to know so much?”

“Of course. I’m interested in you.” Shen Liqiu curled her lips. Her eyes exuded a charming aura, like a little girl fascinated by love.

Naturally, Yun Lintian didn’t fall for her trick. He had lost count of how many Shen Liqiu used this trick against him during this past month.

However, after getting along with her for some time, he discovered she was a trustworthy person. He didn’t mind telling her one or two things about his background.

Yun Lintian took a sip of tea and said calmly. “I came from the Northern Continent. That’s all I can tell you.”

“Northern Continent?…” Shen Liqiu could be considered a resourceful person. She had studied the general situation of the Azure World, and it could be said she knew every mid to high-level fraction. However, she had never heard of any powerful force with the surname Yun. Unless…

Suddenly, a bold idea flashed through Shen Liqiu’s mind. Her eyes widened open, staring at Yun Lintian in disbelief. “Don’t tell me you’re the descendant of Senior Yun Wushuang?”

Yun Lintian smiled faintly. This girl could connect the dot pretty quick. “I am the current Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect.”

“Impossible! The Misty Cloud Palace had never recruited a man, and it also applied to the Misty Cloud Sect.” Shen Liqiu blurted out.

After seeing Yun Lintian kept smiling without giving her any explanation, she immediately knew he wasn’t joking. “Are you… for real?”

“What do you think?” Yun Lintian raised his index finger, and a frosty mist gradually appeared around it.

“Misty Cloud Art!” Shen Liqiu exclaimed. She was now convinced that the young man in front of her was the current Misty Cloud Sect Master.

“You’re knowledgeable.” Yun Lintian praised sincerely.

The Misty Cloud Sect was nothing but a small sect in a small country. Even though Shen Liqiu had read all the records regarding the Misty Cloud Palace, it was still difficult for her to recognize the Misty Cloud Divine Art at a glance. This showed how talented she was.

“So, it’s the case. No wonder your talent is against the sky.” Shen Liqiu didn’t care about the praise. She was still immersed in the shock brought by Yun Lintian’s background.

After a while, she asked. “How did you enter the sect?”

“It’s nothing. I was picked up by the previous Sect Master.” Yun Lintian replied casually.

“You don’t have anything related to Senior Yun Wushuang at all?” Shen Liqiu frowned.

“No.” Yun Lintian shook his head. “Before this, I didn’t even know her name.”

The frown between Shen Liqiu’s brows grew deeper. She couldn’t understand how Yun Lintian possessed such a heaven-defying talent even though he was an orphan… Was it really a coincidence that he was picked up by the Misty Cloud Sect Master?

Yun Lintian didn’t know that Shen Liqiu’s guess was almost accurate. However, he didn’t care, even if she guessed it right.

He looked around briefly and said. “Hurry up and finish the meal. I want to reach there today.”

Shen Liqiu didn’t say anything further and continued to eat while thinking of Yun Lintian’s mysterious background.

,m A few minutes later, the two finished their meal and resumed their journey.

The closer to the city, the more violent the windstorm became. With Yun Lintian’s Monarch’s level physique, he could afford to go further without much hindrance.

However, Shen Liqiu was different. Even with the help of the Shen clan’s technique, Golden Body Divine Art, she found it extremely difficult to move further.

“Do you need help?” Yun Lintian glanced at her and asked.

Shen Liqiu gritted her teeth and said. “No. I can try to temper my body here.”

Yun Lintian nodded and was about to say something. The windstorm suddenly changed its speed. It had become several times slower. From a terrifying hurricane had reduced to a spring breeze. This change immediately left the two stunned.

“What’s going on?” Yun Lintian muttered.

Shen Liqiu’s brows involuntarily creased together. She looked straight ahead and exclaimed after seeing a huge silhouette in the distance. “Look over there! It’s the city gate!”

Yun Lintian followed Shen Liqiu’s gaze and saw a shadow of a vast wall extended to the end of his line of sight. A colossus gate-like silhouette was in the middle, and a faint bird-shaped statue could be seen on top of it.

“It’s the Vermilion Bird Gate. We’ve reached the Southern Gate of the Skymist Ancient City.” Yun Lintian said.

“Hurry up.” Shen Liqiu was excited and urged Yun Lintian to move before the windstorm changed again.

For everyone’s safety, Yun Lintian opened Eyes of Heaven to check the surroundings, and he didn’t find anything unusual. Perhaps this was a weakened period of the windstorm.

Yun Lintian didn’t think about it further. He and Shen Liqiu quickly rushed forward and arrived before the city gate. 𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕.𝚝

Looking at the majestic city gate eroded by the wind, Yun Lintian couldn’t help wondering what it looked like during the city’s glorious time. It must be highly imposing.

On the side, Shen Liqiu took a profound imaginary stone out and began to record the scene. “Incredible. Even though it has been eroding for thousands of years, it still maintains its majestic aura.”

Yun Lintian continued to scan the place with Eyes of Heaven for a long while. Except for the greenish fog ahead, there was no danger around here. “Let’s go in.”

Shen Liqiu nodded and passed through the city gate with Yun Lintian. Their silhouettes slowly disappeared into the fog.

Not long after the two went in, the windstorm on the outside abruptly changed its speed. It had become several times more violent than before…
