Myth Beyond Heaven

“It might sound ridiculous, but I really have no ulterior motive. Since my family is gone and I will follow them soon, there’s no point in keeping these treasures further. You and I can meet this time is clearly an arrangement of fate.” Cai Jingjing said while heading to the inner area of the hall.

Yun Lintian carefully followed her behind and listened to her explanation. He didn’t relax his vigilance, but he didn’t think Cai Jingjing would do anything to him.

“Senior Cai, why would the buildings remain intact after experiencing such a terrifying disaster?” Yun Lintian asked.

Cai Jingjing replied right away. “I don’t know the exact reason, but I heard from my father that every building in this area could not be destroyed. There was a time someone found trouble in our treasure hall. He was a peak monarch but completely failed to harm the building. I had seen it with my own eyes.”

“I see.” Yun Lintian said while thinking it must be because the entire city was an artifact. This place was obviously the heart of the city. It should have some special attributes.

Soon, Cai Jingjing led Yun Lintian to a treasury in the innermost area of the building. She carefully observed the iron door and said in relief. “Look like the treasury is fine.”

Yun Lintian looked at the iron door through the Eyes of Heaven and saw some protective and killing formations around it. However, they completely malfunctioned now.

“You can open the door.” Cai Jingjing said.

Yun Lintian nodded and gently pushed the door. Immediately, he saw countless treasures arranged neatly around the room.

A massive mountain of high-grade Profound Stones piled up at the corner, exuding rich profound energy. Numerous artifacts were lying on the shelves. Whether it was a weapon, armor, or precious herbs, anything Yun Lintian could think of was presented.

Cai Jinjing floated into the room and looked around briefly. “You can take all of them away… There are storage rings over there.” .𝒄𝒐𝒎

Yun Lintian didn’t hurry to grab the treasures. He looked at her and asked. “You really don’t have any last wish, Senior?”

Cai Jingjing thought for a moment and said. “Well, come to think of it, I do have one. I’ll have to trouble you to bring the blood gem to my family manor. I want to rest with them.”

Yun Lintian looked at the woman in her prime with a touch of sadness. He somehow felt guilty in The Storm’s stead.

Although it was an unfortunate event that no one wanted it to happen, as the one who was about to own The Storm in the near future, he felt he should take responsibility for it.

“Really? You feel guilty about it? Why don’t you feel guilty about a cat unfortunately hit by a car somewhere on Earth too?” Hongyue could see through Yun Lintian’s thoughts and didn’t forget to ridicule him.

Yun Lintian smiled wryly. Of course, he was aware that this event had nothing to do with him. He merely felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Cai Jingjing seemed to perceive Yun Lintian’s mood. She smiled and said. “You don’t have to be sad. Life and death are not something you can control… Even though we didn’t know each other for too long, I can see that you are a kind-hearted person.”

“I have seen many people in my life, and all of them will eventually change after rising to power. I have no right to say this as we are complete strangers, but I hope you can maintain this side of yours throughout your journey.”

Yun Lintian went silent for a while and said. “Thank you, Senior. Don’t worry. I will bring the blood gem to your family.”

Cai Jingjing smiled and said. “There’s a map of my family manor behind the counter. I wish you good luck.”

As her voice fell, her figure gradually faded and disappeared from the place.

Yun Lintian clasped his hands together and prayed silently before waving his hand, collecting all the treasures into his Interspatial Ring.

While Yun Lintian was taking care of the treasures, Hei Lei arrived at the inner area through the southern gate. He had also discovered that he couldn’t leave this place after entering.

Looking around for a while, Hei Lei didn’t think about it further and headed toward the north with the Skymist Ancient Clan manor as his goal. He seemed to completely forget about Yun Lintian.

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, a powerful gust of wind blew out, and Hei Lei quickly stabilized himself in place. Compared to Yun Lintian, he was much more stable as he rooted on the spot without moving an inch.

After the wind faded, Hei Lei started to think about the rumor he had heard before coming here. It was said the windstorm here was created by a divine object. Perhaps, he could find it here?

Thinking of this, Hei Lei subconsciously increased his pace. He even used his Abyssal Energy to increase his speed.

At this moment, Yun Lintian was looking at the map Cai Jingjing had left behind. Her family manor was located a little south of The Storm’s location. It was very convenient for Yun Lintian to go.

He put the map away and looked for the direction before rushing toward Cai Jingjing’s family manor.

“Hmm?” Ten minutes later, both Yun Lintian and Hei Lei suddenly perceived each other. They immediately stopped and stared at each other through their Spiritual Senses.

A cold smile emerged on Hei Lei’s lips. He didn’t expect to meet Yun Lintian here. Everything got in his way without even trying.

Meanwhile, Yun Lintian observed Hei Lei through the Eyes of Heaven and was surprised by the latter’s profound strength. The Abyssal Energy in Hei Lei’s body was several times higher than the five men he had encountered before coming here.

Yun Lintian didn’t understand how Hei Lei managed to enter the city. Could it be The Storm’s doing?

“You’re Yun Lintian. I’ve been looking for you all this time.” Hei Lei said while secretly releasing his power, aiming to finish Yun Lintian in one shot.

However, he didn’t know that Yun Lintian could see his action through his Eyes of Heaven. Before a black lightning bolt could descend, Yun Lintian’s figure had already disappeared from the place and reappeared behind Hei Lei in a ghost-like manner!
