Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 886 Skymist Emperor

Yun Lintian went silent for a while and suddenly chuckled. His face was full of mockery. "Heh. People praised you for your benevolent character, but they probably would never imagine that you are nothing more than a cowardly old man. No wonder you could survive the invasion back then."

He curled his lips and continued. "In the first stage, you test our general combat ability, while the second stage aims for our will. As for this one, if I guess correctly, you're testing our heart."

He shook his head and said further. "Unfortunately, you're overthinking. To me, your inheritance is more worthless than grasses. You want me to kill my friend for such a thing? Heh. What a joke."

Shen Liqiu and Xiao Weiyuan immediately enlightened. According to the trial setup, only a greedy person would kill each other for the inheritance. However, each one of them here wasn't such a person. Although the Skymist Emperor's inheritance was definitely a top-notch one, they didn't lack any top profound techniques or resources. With or without, it didn't make any difference for them.

"That's right, Senior Emperor. Although my great-grandpa often praised you, your intention this time made me look down on you. You can take a look at us. Is any of us lacking a top inheritance?" Shen Liqiu said boldly.

At this moment, she seemed to understand why Tang Suyin kept saying she was suitable to enter the trial. It was because she didn't lack anything to the point she must get the Skymist Emperor's inheritance at all cost.

As for Xiao Weiyuan, he was the Tyrannical Monarch Mo Ming's successor, which was not inferior to the Skymist Emperor. Why would he want something that didn't give him much benefit?

"Your Majesty, I am willing to withdraw from this trial." Xiao Weiyuan said respectfully.

After a while, a soft sigh could be heard as an illusory figure gradually appeared before Yun Lintian. This person was dressed in a golden emperor robe, exuding an imposing aura. His face was dignified, but there was a hint of benevolence in the depth of his eyes.

"A younger generation cannot be underestimated, as they said. Your eyes are sharp enough." The old man, Skymist Emperor, said with a smile as he looked at Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian shook his head. "You've flattered me, Senior. Besides, your trial is not difficult. I believe anyone with a firm mind could see it at a glance."

Skymist Emperor let out a sigh and said. "Unfortunately, I cannot complete the trial on time. The disaster came too abrupt." As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at Qingqing as though he knew her true identity.

"This has nothing to do with her." Yun Lintian said upon seeing this.

"I know. I have no grudge against her." Skymist Emperor nodded gently. He turned to Shen Liqiu and said. "I didn't expect to see Brother Shen's descendant here. Your foundation is very solid, and your future is limitless. The Shen Clan is truly fortunate."

Shen Liqiu bowed her head respectfully. "Little Girl Liqiu greets Senior Emperor." She raised her head and said. "However, this Little Girl has nothing to do with the Shen Clan now."

A look of surprise appeared on Skymist Emperor's face, but he didn't inquire further. "I see. With your talent, sooner or later, your father will take you back."

Shen Liqiu snorted. "It depends whether he has the ability."

Skymist Emperor laughed amusingly. A moment later, he turned to Xiao Weiyuan and said. "The Tyrannical Monarch's successor?… I see. Your temperament is similar to him back then."

Xiao Weiyuan hurriedly bowed his head. "Junior Xiao Weiyuan greets Your Majesty Skymist Emperor."

"There's no need to be polite. I am nothing but a mere residual soul." Skymist Emperor smiled kindly and shifted his gaze back to Yun Lintian. "Throughout my life, I have never seen anyone as talented as you. I can feel a terrifying power within your body. It is a power that makes me afraid of it. Even if you were born in the ancient era, you could still be considered the most talented."

He paused for a moment and continued. "I naturally didn't dare to accept you as my successor. However, I don't think I can find anyone better than you, even if I had to wait for another thousand years. Hence, I've decided to leave my inheritance to you, as well as the Skymist Pearl."

"I only hope that you can give my inheritance to a suitable person one day." Skymist Emperor said with a serious expression. "This is my only request."

Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly. He could see the sincerity within Skymist Emperor's voice. He, of course, didn't mind about the latter's request.

"I can promise you, Senior." Yun Lintian said calmly.

"I believe in your judgment." Skymist Emperor nodded slightly.

The next moment, he waved his hand, and a golden storage ring appeared before him, along with a palm-sized azure-colored bead. The bead exuded a profound aura that made everyone feel comfortable.

"Sure enough. It's the Energy Condensing Bead," Hongyue said. "However, the quality is very good. It's more than enough to change the Land of Beyond Heaven's environment."

Yun Lintian was attracted by the azure bead. The Land of Beyond Heaven would become a true paradise for practitioners with this bead. In the future, every disciple could certainly break through into the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm without a problem.

"Take them." Skymist Emperor waved his hand. The ring and the Skymist Pearl gradually fell onto Yun Lintian's hands. "There are jade slips recording my profound art, Skymist Divine Art, and the Skymist Ancient Seal, as well as some resources enough for one person to reach the Monarch Profound Realm. You can hand them to the right person you found in the future."

"As for this Skymist Pearl, you can keep it to yourself." Skymist Emperor said calmly.

Yun Lintian didn't check the content inside the ring but cupped his fists. "Thank you, Senior."

Skymist Emperor nodded gently. "I will tell you how to control the Ancient City. You take the Skymist Ancient Seal out."

Yun Lintian did as he said, and a golden seal with the word 'Skymist' engraved on it appeared on his palm.
