Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 316 - Emperor Destiny

At this moment, Yun Lintian was thoroughly dumbfounded as his hands were still frozen in the air while holding the teacup… What the hell was going on? Yun Lintian didn't understand at all.

"I don't know." Yun Lintian replied uncertainly. No matter how he racked his brain up or tried to replay the whole earlier process in his mind several times, he couldn't come up with any clue… Why did the storm occur all of a sudden? And how was it connecting to Lin Zixuan's strange action?

As Yun Lintian thought of this, the earlier violent phenomenon had disappeared unknowingly, as if nothing had happened before.

"Cough!" Lin Zixuan spat out another mouthful of blood before trying to get up with the help of Jiang Yingyue.

"Are you okay, Sister Zixuan?" Han Bingling asked worriedly and used her profound energy to ease Lin Zixuan's injury.

Lin Zixuan waved her hand and wiped the bloodstain out of her lips. She turned her head toward Yun Lintian and said solemnly. "Look like I can't be your master."

Her words made everyone startled. She added. "Remember, you cannot kneel to anyone."

Yun Lintian subconsciously nodded his head, even though he didn't understand anything at all.

"Yue'er, find a place for your junior brother first." Lin Zixuan waved her hand and let Jiang Yingyue led Yun Lintian out of the bamboo hut.

After the two left, Han Bingling sat down and poured the cup of tea for Lin Zixuan as she asked. "What exactly is going on, Sister Zixuan?"

Lin Zixuan took a sip of tea and remained silent for a moment. She answered. "Have you ever heard about Emperor Destiny?"

"Emperor Destiny… I think I've heard it somewhere before. It is said anyone who possesses this Emperor Destiny is destined to be the world's emperor… Don't tell me…." Han Bingling was startled upon realizing this.

Lin Zixuan let out a slight hum and said. "Yun Lintian has this destiny. He's destined to be the emperor. Hence, I do not qualify to be his master. Of course, no one in this world has the qualification. What happened earlier is just a warning. If I received the teacup earlier, I would have gone by now."

Han Bingling sucked in a cold breath as her heart trembled slightly. She didn't expect the little boy she often teased had actually possessed such an unbelievable destiny.

"You have to keep this matter secret. If they know about this, I'm afraid we cannot protect him." Lin Zixuan said solemnly. Although the worshiping ceremony was unsuccessful, she had already regarded Yun Lintian as one of her disciples. Even though it was just in name only, it was her duty to protect him.

Han Bingling slowly nodded her head with a serious expression. She obviously knew who were 'they' that Lin Zixuan was talking about.

In a small restaurant nearby the Sky Throne Profound Academy, an old man with a long beard had long put down the chopsticks in his hand and stared attentively at the phenomenon in the sky. He watched it until the phenomenon gradually vanished, but his thoughtful expression did not recede in the slightest.

"What happened just now, Master?" A young man, who sat opposite the old man, asked curiously. If Yun Lintian was here, he would immediately recognize this person right away. He was no other than Du Xiangkong that he met in the Fallen Dragon Forest.

The old man retracted his gaze and smiled at his disciple. "Kong'er. Is it true that you met the young man named Yun Lintian during the second test?"

Du Xiangkong was puzzled as he replied. "Yes, Master. He passed by and lent us a hand."

The old man stroked his long beard and smiled faintly. "If there's a chance, you should interact with him more."

Du Xiangkong scratched his head in confusion but still nodded his head.

"Where are other senior sisters, Big Sister Yingyue?" Asked Yun Lintian while closely following Jiang Yingyue toward the east side of the Moonlight Peak.

Jian Yingyue did not slow her pace down as she replied. "They are busy with their own matters. Don't worry, you will have a chance to see them soon. I have already told them about you."

Yun Lintian didn't ask anything further and turned his attention to the surrounding scenery instead.

"There is something in this place, Big Brother Yun." Suddenly, Linlin sent a sound transmission to Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian looked at Linlin in his arms and asked curiously. "Oh? What is it? Big brother didn't see anything at all."

Linlin tilted her head cutely as if she was trying to perceive something. "I don't know as well. I just feel that something is hiding within this place… It is likely to be something on a divine level."

Yun Lintian was surprised and silently opened Eyes of Heaven to observe the surroundings. What came to his sight was the abundant profound energy, which was nothing out of the ordinary. However, he later caught strange purple-colored light glowing on the top of every bamboo in this place. Yun Lintian seemed to remember this kind of energy had appeared once when Han Bingling released her Freezing Moon.

"What you currently see is called Moon Essence. It's similar to other elemental energy." While Yun Lintian was pondering, Jiang Yingyue suddenly spoke out, causing Yun Lintian to wake up from his thoughts, and looked at her in amazement.

As expected from the number one talented individual. She had actually noticed my movement. Yun Lintian thought.

"Moon Essence?" Yun Lintian repeated and tried to search for the relevant information in his head. 

"You don't have to think too much about it. You will eventually understand its characteristic when the night comes." Jian Yingyue said softly.

Hearing this, Yun Lintian decided to put this matter behind his head and continued to watch the scenery.

They advanced in this manner for ten minutes before Yun Lintian sensed Jian Yingyue's footsteps come to a stop.

"We're here." Jiang Yingyue turned around and smiled at Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian peered through the pack of bamboos and saw a few small bamboo huts similar to Lin Zixuan's one peacefully standing there.. At this moment, a glimpse of a beautiful figure could be seen standing before a huge painting board nearby one of the huts.
