Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1057 Hiding In The Dark

Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly. "Asides from Poison Valley, too?"

Yun Xia took a sip of tea and said. "They are a bunch of little guys who are unwilling to ascend because they are too afraid to start out at the bottom again… Your emergence gives them hope. They believe that once they seize your secrets, they will have the confidence to go to the Divine Realm. After all, your power is too enchanting. They have never seen anyone like you before."

Yun Lintian slowly nodded his head. In fact, he was aware of them, but he didn't expect them to come out this fast.

"Look like they are not living in seclusion, as people said." He said gently.

Yun Xia laughed slightly. "At the end of the day, they are humans. If they can truly cut off their greed and never bother about worldly affairs as people believe, they won't hold their profound strength until now. In that case, they might as well give up being a practitioner."

Yun Lintian nodded in agreement.

"As I said before, some of them might truly care about their descendants and don't want to leave because of it, but most of them are the opposite. They are too afraid. Imagine. Staying here, they are all high and mighty existences. No one can offend them. However, once they step into the Divine Realm, they will become an existence no different from an ant." Yun Xia smiled.

"They have tasted the sweetness of being the top brass before. It's normal for them to reluctantly give up."

Hearing this, Yun Lintian sighed. "My progress is too slow while my enemies are already at the top."

"That's why you should avoid the limelight for the time being." Yun Xia said. "I can see that you're confident in escaping, but look at what happened in the end? Someone almost sacrificed her life to protect you."

She shook her head in disappointment. "You rely on the Land of Beyond Heaven too much instead of your strength. What would happen if you cannot access it?"

Yun Lintian lowered his head slightly. He was indeed overconfident back then. There was no excuse for it.

"Furthermore, you didn't truly understand the essence of your power." Yun Xia said. "How about this? I will personally teach you during this period."

Yun Lintian raised his head and said firmly. "Please, grandma."

Yun Xia nodded slightly. "Do you have any questions?"

Yun Lintian hesitated slightly and asked. "Is he still alive or…?"

"I can only say that he's both alive and dead." Yun Xia said in a deep voice.

"Alive and dead…?" Yun Lintian was puzzled. What did it mean?

Yun Xia said expressionlessly. "If you want to know, hurry up and practice hard."

"I understand." Yun Lintian nodded heavily.

Somewhere in the dark, a middle-aged man whose entire body was blackened suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of terrifyingly gloomy eyes.

His sharp gaze seemed to penetrate everything. Even the absolute darkness around him was unable to block his sight.

"This aura… I remember… I see… She didn't go anywhere, huh?" His voice was incomparably cold that could shake anyone's soul.

"It's been four thousand years already?" He continued to talk to himself.

"Come out." As his voice fell, the darkness in front of him abruptly stirred, and a human-shaped figure emerged.

"How's the situation?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Reporting to Master. We have found the location, but it is tightly guarded by the Azure Palace's people." A figure replied.

"Weilan Jian hasn't left yet?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, Master."

"Heh. He doesn't want to give up, huh?" The middle-aged man laughed slightly.

"Not only him but also Xing Tengfei and Qing Xiaoting." The figure said.

"Oh?… Interesting." The middle-aged man curled his lips.

"Moreover, there's an abnormal existence emerging recently. His name is Yun Lintian. His talent is even more terrifying than Yun Wushuang back then." The figure said further.

"Hmm? Yun Lintian?… Is he her descendant?" The middle-aged man asked with great interest.

"We cannot confirm it. However, it's unlikely. He is proficient in five elements and has two divine beast bloodlines within his body. We have already listed him as the top priority, but we are unable to capture him." The figure explained.

"Why?" The middle-aged man asked.

"He has too many people protecting him in secret… Qing Xiaoting is one of them." The figure said. "Besides, our people are not fully recovered yet. Our plans have been disrupted by this Yun Lintian many times recently, making us unable to spread Abyssal Energy out as planned."

"Interesting… How old is he?" The middle-aged man asked.

The figure hesitated slightly and replied. "Nineteen."

A cold glint flashed through the middle-aged man's eyes as he said coldly. "Nineteen? You are telling me that all of you cannot deal with a nineteen-year-old brat?… Look like all of you are living too comfortably during this period."

"Please punish us, Master." The figure trembled and knelt on the ground.

The darkness around the middle-aged man stirred violently but soon returned to its original calm.

"Forget it. I didn't expect anything from them in the first place. The fact that they are alive until now is already considered a miracle." The middle-aged man said calmly.

He paused for a moment and said. "Tell them. I will be out in two years at most. Let them continue to accumulate power during this time… Also, keep an eye on this Yun Lintian. I want to know every move of him. Understand?"

"Yes, Master!" The figure hurriedly replied.

"Go." The middle-aged man waved his hand dismissively, and the figure quickly disappeared from the place.

Silence returned to the scene. The middle-aged man's eyes flickered slightly as he said to himself. "Yun Wushuang… You better pray that this boy isn't related to you… Otherwise… Hehe."

The surrounding darkness once again stirred violently, and a few spatial cracks could be seen everywhere.

The middle-aged man didn't seem to care about it as this scene occurred from time to time… After all, this place was the Chaotic Sea Region…
