Myth Beyond Heaven

"You must come from the Frozen Moon Palace's territory, right?" Yun Lintian asked.

Lin Xinyao didn't admit or deny, only looking at him questioningly.

Yun Lintian took her silence as a yes and asked further, "I want to ask you if there is any mythical realm related to the moon here?"

Lin Xinyao was surprised slightly. If Yun Lintian had a prominent background, he should not be oblivious to the mythical realm in the Northern Continent. This made Lin Xinyao doubt Yun Lintian's background further.

She slowly nodded her head and replied. "There is indeed the mythical realm, as you said. It's called the Frozen Moon Mythical Realm."

"Oh? The Frozen Moon Mythical Realm?" Yun Lintian noted it down in his mind. "Can you tell me more about it? How can I enter this mythical realm?"

Lin Xinyao felt strange. She didn't know why Yun Lintian wanted to go there, but she still replied truthfully. "There is the only way to enter the mythical realm. You have to join one of the seven fractions within the Frozen Moon Palace's territory. The first one is, of course, the Frozen Moon Palace, but the palace won't recruit a new disciple anytime soon."

"Another five are five sects, namely, White Feather Sect, Violent Gale Sect, Thunder Sword Sect, Heavenly Fist Sect, and Serene Heart Sect. Among them, only the Thunder Sword Sect is recently recruiting a new disciple."

"Lastly, it's the Sky Throne Profound Academy. I recommend you to give this place a try if you really want to enter the Frozen Moon Mythical Realm. The Academy will soon recruit a new batch of students." Lin Xinyao looked at Yun Lintian and said with a serious expression. "You have six months to enter the Spirit Profound Realm to be obliged to the academy's assessment."

Speaking to this point, Lin Xinyao was also puzzled by Yun Lintian's strength. No matter how she looked at him, his talent was average at best, but he could deal with Abyssal Poison, which made her extremely confusing.

Yun Lintian touched his chin, leaning on the chair and pondering for a while before he asked. "Is there any way to enter the mythical realm without joining these fractions?"

Lin Xinyao thought for a moment and answered while shaking her head. "Since the Frozen Moon Mythical Realm is mainly controlled by the Frozen Moon Palace. Unless you can use your strength forcing them to let you enter, there is no other way."

Yun Lintian had already expected this answer. He just tried his luck in case Lin Xinyao really had a secret way. "I see. Thank you for the information."

Lin Xinyao said nothing and continued to eat. The meal went on for half an hour before everyone was full. Lin Xinyao thought it was time for her to leave. She stood up and said to Yun Lintian. "I'll leave now. Thank you for the meal."

Yun Lintian nodded and said. "Alright, good luck."

Lin Xinyao hesitated briefly and handed Yun Lintian a delicate map. "This is the Northern Continent's map. I think it's useful to you."

Yun Lintian looked at the map and saw it was highly detailed. He raised his head to look at Lin Xinyao and said. "Thank you. It's indeed useful to me."

Lin Xinyao gave a light nod and called Mumu. "Let's go, Mumu."

Mumu glanced at Yun Lintian and suddenly arrived on his shoulder in a flash before it pecked on Yun Lintian's cheek and went back to Lin Xinyao's side.

Yun Lintian was taken aback and then said jokingly to Mumu. "Did you fall for my handsomeness?"

Mumu rolled its eyes as though it wanted to say, "Narcissist!"contemporary romance

Lin Xinyao was surprised by Mumu's unusual behavior. Mumu had grown up along with her since she was born, and she had never seen it close to anyone. Even her master could not fully gain Mumu's trust. However, it seemed Yun Lintian was an exception.

Thinking of this, she suddenly traced back to the time when Mumu asked Yun Lintian for help. It was quite strange. How did Mumu know Yun Lintian was not a bad person? Could it be a coincidence? But she quickly denied it, as she knew Mumu was not stupid enough to ask a random stranger for help for no reason, even when her life was in danger. There must be a reason behind this, and she decided to ask Mumu later.

Lin Xinyao took a deep look at Yun Lintian one last time before going out of the cave with Mumu on her shoulder.

Yun Lintian watched both of them slowly disappearing from his sight and fell into deep thought. He glanced at the map again, more precisely, at the moon symbol on the top corner of it… This should be the Frozen Moon symbol. It means she is really someone from the Frozen Moon Palace. Poison Valley… Frozen Moon Palace, Lin Xinyao's master.

Yun Lintian seemed to connect all the dots correctly. If he wasn't mistaken, Lin Xinyao's master could possibly be the current Palace Master of the Frozen Moon Palace — if not, a high echelon. 

What made Yun Lintian terrified more was the Poison Valley's intelligence network. Presumably, Lin Xinyao was a direct disciple of the Frozen Moon Palace Master; it was impossible her master would let her travel alone. However, the Poison Valley could pinpoint Lin Xinyao's position accurately and even set a trap for her under the protection of the Frozen Moon Palace's experts. This proved they always knew every step of Lin Xinyao beforehand.

From the conversation between the Poison Valley members earlier, they discovered a group of people had arrived nearby. Undoubtedly, this group of people was the Frozen Moon Palace's experts. Until now, Yun Lintian hadn't seen any of them appear nearby this place, which meant the Poison Valley members had been notified in advance for an hour away at the least.

All of this Yun Lintian's analysis had pointed to one conclusion that Poison Valley had already lurked into the Frozen Moon Palace!
