Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2401  Two Lifetimes (1)

"So, it makes sense why those ancient True Gods chose to come here," Yun Lintian said slowly.

"What is your purpose in coming here, Brother Yun?" Rui Xian asked curiously. "With your friends' identities, it's bound to attract attention."

He glanced at Nantian Fengyu, Linlin, and Qingqing. Each was extraordinary, a legendary existence even in the Primordial Era. It was normal for them to be targeted.

"My purpose? It's simple. I'm here to explore this place and find a way to break through," Yun Lintian replied. "To tell you the truth, I couldn't overcome my bottleneck out there. This battlefield is my last hope."

"I see," Rui Xian nodded. He sensed that Yun Lintian's power was mysterious—overwhelming yet well-controlled. He had never met anyone like him before, which was why he was drawn to Yun Lintian in the first place. Now, considering the identities of those around Yun Lintian, Rui Xian believed they had a connection to the Primordial Era.

He stood up and cupped his fists. "I'll take my leave. We will meet again soon."

Yun Lintian was surprised. "Why don't you go with us?" he asked.

Rui Xian shook his head. "I prefer to be alone. It's how I hone my swordsmanship. Please forgive me." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I understand. Good luck, and thank you again for saving my friends." Yun Lintian cupped his fists and spoke politely. He handed Rui Xian a few bottles of pills. "Please take these. I refined them myself."

Rui Xian accepted the pills without hesitation, slightly surprised by their quality. "Many thanks."

"If you need more, I can refine them for you when we meet again," Yun Lintian said with a smile.

"Alright. I shall leave now." Rui Xian responded and left.

"He has the demeanor of the Nameless Sword God," Mumu said softly.

Yun Lintian looked at her and asked, "So, why did you two come here exactly?"

Mumu smiled bitterly and said, "It was my fault. Since you left for the God Tomb, my memory seal was broken, and I regained all my memories. I told Hongyue about the final part of the Moon God's legacy, and we are now searching for it."

"The final part?" Yun Lintian asked, confused.

"Yes. As you probably know, the Moon God was the last person to wield the God Slaying Sword. Her legacy broke into five parts. The first is in me. The second is in Hongyue. The third is in Lin Xinyao. The fourth is in Yue Chuntao. And the final part is in the Sword Spirit of the God Slaying Sword," Mumu explained.

"Sword Spirit?" Yun Lintian realized something. "Tie Mutian… So, you went to see Tie Mutian because of this?"

"Yes," Mumu nodded. "We met his daughter, and she gave us a clue that the Sword Spirit is here."

She glanced at the Heaven Piercing Sword in its necklace form around Yun Lintian's neck. Who would have thought it was one of the God Slaying Sword's fragments?

Yun Lintian immediately understood everything.

"Do you know what the Sword Spirit looks like?" he asked curiously.

"Jian Yun. The Fleeting Cloud Sword Emperor in the Divine Realm," Mumu replied. "He's the Sword Spirit."

Yun Lintian was stunned for a moment and immediately understood. "I see. No wonder I felt something was off when I saw him back then."

He recalled the time he "dreamed" about Yun Tian's past. Jian Yun looked more like a sword than a human. At the time, he didn't think much of it, as Jian Yun was a top sword cultivator. It was normal for him to give off such a feeling.

"Why did she stubbornly absorb Spirit Beads like that?" Yun Lintian sighed.

Mumu lowered her head. "I'm sorry. I couldn't stop her. She wanted to help you as much as possible."

Yun Lintian wanted to say something but sighed and returned to the room to see Hongyue.

"Let's go back," he said and summoned the Gate of Beyond Heaven, bringing Hongyue and everyone back to Nine Firmament City.

Upon arriving, Yue Yun was the first to come over. She looked at the unconscious Hongyue with concern.

"What happened to her?" she asked Yun Lintian coldly.

Yun Lintian was taken aback. He didn't understand why Yue Yun was angry with him. "She overdrafted her power."

"Leave her to me," Yue Yun said and took Hongyue away, disappearing from sight.

"What's going on with her?" Yun Lintian was puzzled.

"Who is she?" Mumu asked, confused. "The moon energy in her body is exceptionally pure. Not even Hongyue can compare to her. This is impossible."

"Well, it's a long story. Let me tell you briefly." Yun Lintian recounted Yue Yun's situation.

Mumu had a strange expression on her face. "The God Tomb? The Divine Moon Clan?"

"What's wrong? You don't know her?" Nantian Fengyu asked curiously.

Mumu hesitated and said, "Perhaps I was too young at that time. I have never seen her before."

In fact, Mumu seemed to have guessed something. She felt that Yue Yun didn't seem to belong to this world.

At this moment, Lin Xinyao came over. She had just finished training and was ready for a good rest.

"Mumu!" Lin Xinyao cried out in surprise. She hadn't seen Mumu for a long time.

Mumu jumped into Lin Xinyao's embrace and said, "You're well-developed now."

Lin Xinyao blushed slightly. "What are you saying?"

"I'm talking about your strength." Mumu rolled her eyes. "Let's go. I'm hungry."

Lin Xinyao looked at Yun Lintian and said, "Welcome back, husband."

Yun Lintian approached her and kissed her cheek gently. "Get some rest."

"Is everything alright?" Lin Xinyao asked.

"Don't worry. It's not a big deal," Yun Lintian said with a smile.

"That's good. I'll leave you two alone then." Lin Xinyao nodded and walked away with Mumu.

"Why do I feel that Yue Yun and Hongyue look similar?" Nantian Fengyu suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm? Really?" Yun Lintian was surprised and thought for a moment. "Indeed. Although they don't exactly resemble each other, their demeanors are similar."

Nantian Fengyu shook her head and put her doubt aside. "I'm going to find something to eat."

"Take me with you, Sister Fengyu!" Qingqing jumped off Yun Lintian's shoulder and chased after Nantian Fengyu.

Yun Lintian was amused by the scene. He then took Linlin to find Long Qingxuan.

Inside the hall, Yue Yun calmly grabbed Hongyue's wrist and injected her Tree of Life's power and the Great Law of Life into her body.

Hongyue slowly opened her eyes, and her vigilance rose as she stared at Yue Yun. "Who are you?"
