Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 965 Sword Tablets

"You met Xing Renshu?" Yun Lintian slowly peeled Shen Liqiu out of his body and asked.

'Yeah," Shen Liqiu explained. "I was having fun hitting that bastard Lei Jun, but he managed to escape in the end. And Xing Renshu was hiding somewhere around there at the time. He came out and beat me."

"I see," Yun Lintian nodded gently. He looked at Jian Feng, who was walking out of the forest and said. "Thank you for taking care of her, Brother Jian."

"I didn't do anything." Jian Feng shook his head. He looked at Kun and the others in doubt. "Brother Lin, these…"

"It's like this." Yun Lintian began to explain the ins and outs of this matter. However, he decided to hide the part where he gave them the concealing technique.

Jian Feng went silent for a long time. He could understand the feelings of Kun and the others well.

In the past, he had never thought of this point before. All he knew was to kill them and collect the profound beast cores. It was indeed a miserable fate to be born in this place.

He raised his head and said. "I would like to help, but my power is limited. I can convince Supreme Elder Jian, but the rest are too difficult."

Yun Lintian nodded in an understanding manner. "It doesn't matter. At least you have a heart, Brother Jian."

Jian Feng turned to Kun and said. "If the restriction is gone, you can try to leave through the back of the mountain Brother Lin said. I will try my best to provide you with a safe route."

Kun cupped his fists. "Many thanks."

He then took another three hundred profound beast cores out and placed them in front of Jian Feng. "You can take them away. These are the cores of my fallen friends. They are useless to me."

"Thank you." Jian Feng accepted them calmly.

Shen Liqiu and Yun Qianxue had also taken their shares.

"We should go to the second stage immediately," Jian Feng said. "I have to remind everyone first. Over there, we cannot use our profound energy. As I told you, we will be automatically teleported to the final stage as long as we can comprehend all the sword tablets."

"However," He paused for a moment and said with a serious expression. "Anyone can mobilize the power of the sword tablets to attack each other. Please, be careful."

"Oh?" Yun Lintian was surprised. "Wouldn't this mean those who had been here before had the upper hand?"

Jian Feng responded. "Mhm. This is Xing Renshu, Lei Jun, and Du Huanfeng's second time. The last time, they managed to comprehend ten sword tablets."

Shen Liqiu frowned deeply. Without a doubt, they would be at a disadvantage after entering the second stage.

Seeing her worried expression, Yun Lintian smiled and said. "Don't worry. We should be the first batch to enter the second stage. We still have time to make a preparation."

Shen Liqiu nodded slowly. "We should move now."

Yun Lintian turned to Kun and handed a jade slip engraved with the appearance of Xing Renshu, Lei Jun, Du Huanfeng, and Weilan Tian. "Try to avoid these people. They can post a threat to all of you."

Kun received the slip and said. "We know what to do."

Yun Lintian nodded and beckoned everyone to leave.

Under Jinlong's guidance, everyone arrived at a stone gate toward the second stage within two hours.

The stone gate was massive and exuded an ancient aura. On the right side of it, a sacrificial altar could be seen.

Yun Lintian scanned the surroundings and didn't see any people here. He turned to Jinlong and said. "You can go back."

"Alright." Jinlong nodded and jumped onto a nearby tree, disappearing into the forest.

Jian Feng walked to the altar and placed the one hundred profound beast cores on it.

Soon, the altar glowed with white light, and the energy inside the cores gradually dissipated until the cores were reduced into a pile of dust.

At the same time, a bright white light appeared around Jian Feng. He turned to look at Yun Lintian and said. "You can place your profound beast cores here."

Yun Lintian didn't think about it further. He repeated Jian Feng's process and was immediately shrouded with white light, the same as Jian Feng.

Yun Qianxue and Shen Liqiu followed suit. When everyone was covered with the white light, Jian Feng immediately led them into the stone gate and vanished from the place.

As they left, Xing Renshu and Du Huanfeng appeared in the vicinity.

"How could they gather the profound cores so fast?" Du Huanfeng frowned.

Xing Renshu stared at the stone gate for a while and said. "Let's go. We need to step up our speed."

***

As the white light faded, Yun Lintian and the others found themselves standing in a spacious area with sixty-six sword-shaped stone tablets, forming a strange formation.

The tablets stood approximately 3 meters. Strange runes were engraved all over the places, exuding an unfathomable aura.

"From my experience, these sword tablets are definitely a formation, and we need to activate them orderly." Jian Feng said and walked up to the forefront tablet.

He placed his hand on it and closed his eyes. Instantly, the tablet released a mysterious sword intent, causing Yun Lintian and the others to feel stuffy.

Jian Feng opened his eyes, and a sword mark slowly emerged on the back of his right hand.

He raised his hand toward Yun Lintian and said. "This mark will tell you how many tablets you have comprehended."

Yun Lintian nodded in an understanding manner. Earlier, he tried to invoke his profound energy, but there seemed to be something blocking his veins. He wasn't sure whether he could break it with the help of the Beyond Heaven Relics.

"You two can start first." He said to Yun Qianxue and Shen Liqiu.

The two didn't say anything and walked toward the nearby tablets, starting to comprehend the mysteries inside.

Meanwhile, Yun Lintian slowly walked around the tablets, trying to get a big picture of them. He wanted to see if he could find a clue about this formation.
