Myth Beyond Heaven

“Your dream of creating a skyship won’t be a dream anymore,” Hongyue said.

“What do you mean?” Yun Lintian was puzzled.

“Wait until you get out of here safely first. We can talk about it then.” Hongyue pursed her lips, unwilling to reveal further information.

Yun Lintian was annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

A while later, the same receptionist came to his room to send the Earth Core. After settling the payment, Yun Lintian fiddled with the Earth Core for a while and scanned it with Eyes of Heaven. However, he didn’t find anything special in the end. This confused him further. Did Hongyue scam him?

,m The auction continued. In contrast to the shocking bid wars earlier, the rest of the auction items seemed ordinary in Yun Lintian’s eyes. They were either some protective artifacts or weapons, which he didn’t need.

After sending the last item away, Wu Xue smiled and looked at the audience. “Now, it’s time for our highlighted treasure today. I believe many of you are curious about this.”

Wu Xue clapped her hands, and two beautiful maids went onto the stage with a rusted bronze sword, and its scabbard was made out of wood that had decayed quite a bit. It appeared to be quite ancient.

The sword itself had no grade, and it seemed to be created with clumsy craftsmanship. The audience in the first and second zone could not see anything special on this sword, but Du Huanfeng, Pei Xiewen, and the rest of the fourth zone could perceive a strong killing intent coming out of it. This sword must have reaped countless lives before.

Wu Xue began to introduce the item. “From our experts’ appraisal, this sword is from an ancient era, more than ten thousand years. It has lost all of its power, but a trace of conceptual intent is still there. We believe it will be useful for a sword practitioner. The starting price is one million high-grade Profound Stones. Please make your bid.”

Although Yun Lintian wasn’t a sword practitioner, it didn’t prevent him from taking an interest in this rusted sword. He opened Eyes of Heaven and saw a bright red aura seeping out of it. At the same time, he suddenly felt as though he was being stabbed by countless blades, causing him to involuntarily retract his gaze.

“The previous owner must be a killing maniac,” Hongyue said as she looked at the sword. “This level of killing intent isn’t something that could produce over a few years or a mere hundred thousand lives. I believe more than ten million lives have died under this sword. Heh, I didn’t expect there would be such a bloodthirsty figure in this lower world.”

Everyone in the living room, including Yun Lintian, felt chills running down their spines upon hearing this. Ten million lives!? Is this person a reincarnation of a devil god?

“Afraid?” Hongyue glanced at Yun Qingrou and others. She laughed slightly and said. “Wait until all of you go to the Divine World. You will know this number is nothing at all. There are a lot of figures who have several billions of lives on their hands.”

The expressions of everyone immediately turned pale. Ten million were already insane in their opinions. And now a billion? They didn’t know how to describe this anymore.

“All of you better prepare yourself well from today onward. Trust me. There will be a day when you have to kill millions of lives.” Hongyue said with a smile as if it was a common thing.

Yun Ruanyu and others glanced at each other and fell into silence. Before this, their greatest wish was to kill Qi Qianxing and recreate the Misty Cloud Sect. However, after staying in the Land of Beyond Heaven for a long time. With the addition of Hongyue, they could see there was something huge waiting for them in the near future. It was something that tied their fate altogether.

“Regret it?” Hongyue looked at them as if she could see through their thoughts. “I can only say that the day all of you met Yun Lintian, your fate was already inseparable from him. There is no way for all of you to avoid it. So, you better make yourself stronger.”

Yun Lintian listened to this and felt immense pressure on him. He knew that there was a big plot waiting for him since the day he activated the Land of Beyond Heaven, but he didn’t want to think about it too much all this time.

Now, Hongyue had brought this topic up. A sense of urgency rushed over him once again. He must gather all the Beyond Heaven Relics as soon as possible.

“Is this useful?” Yun Lintian put his thoughts aside and asked about the sword.

“No. However, the real value of this sword is in the scabbard. There’s something on it. I can’t figure out from here.” Hongyue replied.

“Scabbard?” Yun Lintian didn’t doubt Hongyue’s words, but he thought it was unnecessary to bid for it. Hence, he gave up in the end.

“Two million.” Pei Xiewen immediately placed his bid.

“Three million.” When everyone thought Yun Lintian would follow, they suddenly heard a voice coming out of room number one. They naturally knew the identity of the person in this room. It was no other than the young master of the Myriad Pill Palace, Du Huanfeng.

Pei Xiewen’s brows raised in surprise. He glanced at Du Huanfeng’s room and said. “Four million.”

“Five million.” Du Huanfeng followed instantly. He had the feeling that the sword could help him break through to the next realm. That was why he was willing to compete with Pei Xiewen.

“Six million.”

“Seven million.”

“Eight million.”

… 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮

The bid continued until reaching the sky-high price of twenty million. Du Huanfeng and Pei Xiewen didn’t back down in the slightest.

“Since Young Master Du wants this, I am willing to back down.” In the end, Pei Xiewen finally gave up, as he felt it was unnecessary to offend Du Huanfeng. He had something waiting for him to do next.
