Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian opened his eyes and let out a long exhale. A month had passed since he rescued Qi Gang. During this period, he spent his time consolidating his power, and it was progressing well.

The previous incident made him realize how incompetent he was in front of someone like the God of Time. The gap was huge, and it was difficult for him to catch up. After all, it was unreasonable to compare himself with someone who had lived for eons like Nian Shi.

He rose from his bed, his movements fluid and purposeful. He couldn’t afford to dwell on his shortcomings. There was much to be done. The Abyssal Convention loomed, and it was time for him to set off.

Hei Shou flew over and landed on Yun Lintian’s shoulder, followed by Gui Xiao.

“It’s time to depart for the Abyssal Convention,” Yun Lintian said gently as he walked out of the room.

He found Lan Hanyu waiting for him, her expression a mixture of concern and determination. “Lintian,” she began, her voice soft yet firm, “I’m coming with you.”

Yun Lintian paused, his gaze meeting hers. He understood her desire to be by his side, to face the dangers together. But he also knew that the Abyssal Convention was not a place for her, not in her current condition.

“Hanyu,” he said gently, his voice laced with concern, “you need to rest. You’ve been through a lot, and your body needs time to recover.”

Lan Hanyu’s expression hardened, her resolve unwavering. “I’m not some fragile flower,” she retorted, her voice laced with a hint of defiance. “I can handle myself.”

Yun Lintian shook his head. “I know you can,” he assured her. “But this is different. I am much better off alone.”

Lan Hanyu’s expression softened slightly. “Alright. Be careful out there,” she said gently. “I will.” Yun Lintian was relieved. In fact, he wanted to send her back to the Primal Chaos, but he found that he couldn’t summon the Gate of Beyond Heaven here.

Yun Lintian and Lan Hanyu walked into the main hall to meet Qi Zongwen and Qi Gang.

“I heard from Bingxue that you’re heading to the Abyssal Convention,” Qi Zongwen said. “Is there any reason for this?”

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and replied, “I have two reasons. First, I believe that there’s something very important within the Abyssal Rift. Perhaps I can find the lair of the creatures of chaos there. Secondly, I want a ticket to the Haven.”

“Are you sure you want to go to the Haven?” Qi Zongwen asked with a serious expression.

“Yes,” Yun Lintian nodded. “I want to meet this so-called Lord of Chaos. My intuition tells me that he has the answers to my questions. Maybe I can find a way to solve the problem that has plagued this universe for ages.”

“I see,” Qi Zongwen nodded slowly. “I know you are not an ordinary person, but you must be careful. The Abyssal Rift is a strange place. Anything can happen there.”

He paused for a moment and continued, “My Golden Qilin Kingdom will send people out as well. Come here.”

A group of three people stepped forward. The leader was an old man who exuded an aura of the peak level of the True God Realm. The other two were young men. Both of them were True Gods as well.

“This is the First Elder, Qi Mu, and my disciples, Qi Jian and Qi Xun,” Qi Zongwen said.

Yun Lintian looked at them and cupped his fists. “Please take care of me, Seniors.” “You’re being too polite, Young Master Yun,” Qi Mu said with a smile. As the first elder, he naturally knew about Yun Lintian’s strength. This was someone who subdued the Abyssal God Beast and rescued their ancestor.

Qi Jian and Qi Xun bowed slightly in return. They had nothing but respect for Yun Lintian. “There is no other way to reach the Abyssal Rift. We have to travel on a profound ark. It should take at least a month from here,” Qi Zongwen said.

Yun Lintian was slightly surprised. As far as he knew, it would definitely take a very long time, if not a year.

Seeing Yun Lintian’s expression, Qi Zongwen explained, “Our profound ark is different. Its speed is much faster than you think. You will know soon.”

“I see,” Yun Lintian nodded slightly.

“Let’s go,” Qi Zongwen said and led Yun Lintian out of the palace. They arrived at a vast, open space behind the palace.

In the center of the space rested a majestic ark, its hull gleaming with a golden light that pulsed with profound energy. This was the Golden Qilin Profound Ark, a vessel of unparalleled speed and power, capable of traversing the vast distances of the Realm of Chaos with ease.

The ark was shaped like a majestic qilin, its head held high, its scales shimmering with golden light, its eyes glowing with an inner fire. Its vast deck was adorned with intricate carvings and symbols, each imbued with profound meaning and power.

Yun Lintian gazed upon the ark with a sense of awe. He had never seen such a magnificent vessel before; its sheer size and power dwarfed his Cloud Dragon Ark.

“This is the Golden Qilin Profound Ark,” Qi Zongwen said with a hint of pity. “Each regent has their own profound ark, even though they cannot leave their own kingdom.”

“With this ark,” Qi Zongwen continued, “we can reach the Abyssal Rift in a mere month. It would normally take a year, even with my speed.”

Yun Lintian nodded slowly, his mind still reeling from the sheer scale of the ark.

“Let us board,” Qi Zongwen said, leading the way toward the ark.

Yun Lintian followed closely behind. As he stepped onto the deck, his senses were immediately filled with the vibrant energy that pulsed through the ark. He could feel the power of the Golden Qilin God coursing through its very core, resonating with the Golden Mountain relic within his body.

After a brief introduction, Qi Zongwen left and watched as the profound ark gradually floated

up.

With a final farewell to Lan Hanyu and the others, Yun Lintian turned his head to look at the vast starry sky ahead.

The profound ark hummed and soared through the skies, the landscape below transforming into a blur of colors and shapes.

In the blink of an eye, the profound ark entered the vast expanse, heading toward the Abyssal

Rift…
