Myth Beyond Heaven

Tian Jiuyi smiled as he explained. ”That because I didn’t take the test. My purpose isn’t to enter the academy but to come here under my great-grandfather’s instruction.”

”Forgive me for being rude. May I know what’s the instruction?” Qin Yuyan asked.

Tian Jiuyi didn’t answer right away. He looked around briefly and said. ”Let’s get out of here first. I’ll tell everyone later.”

Everyone glanced at each other and agreed with Tian Jiuyi. They immediately set off afterward. Coincidently, the direction they chose was the same as Yun Lintian’s one. A half an hour later, they had indeed met Yun Lintian and Qin Yiran, that were currently replenishing their strength.

”Brother Yun!” Chu Mi was excited and trotted toward Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian had long discovered them through his Spiritual Sense. He turned to look at Chu Mi and gave the nod with a smile before closing his eyes, continuing to recover.

However, before Yun Lintian closed his eyes, his gaze briefly swept on the unfamiliar face, Tian Jiuyi, and discovered the latter possessed an extraordinary bearing. He tried to recall this person’s identity but couldn’t think of anyone. This person probably hadn’t taken the knowledge test… Who is he?

Qin Yuyan quickly came to Qin Yiran’s side and inquired about the situation. After knowing the ins and outs of the incident, Qin Yuyan’s face became unsightly. She didn’t expect this place would be this dangerous. Why would the academy send them here then? Were they trying to kill everyone?

Tian Jiuyi’s eyes never left Yun Lintian since arriving here. Similar to Yun Lintian, he had also perceived the other party’s exceptional demeanor. Coupled with the fact Yun Lintian had fought with the Saint Profound Beast and escaped alive. To say he was the strongest person among this year’s participants wasn’t wrong.

Tian Jiuyi also noticed Yun Lintian was replenishing his strength. Thus, he didn’t plan to talk and find a boulder to sit down, calmly waiting for him.

”How could the academy do this?” Chu Mi was angry after listening to Qin Yiran’s experience. She had the same question as Qin Yuyan, why would the academy send everyone here knowing it was dangerous.

Bai Qingyi raised his head to look at the sky. More precisely, at the people who were watching them through the surveillance formation, as though he wanted to ask them for an explanation.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen glanced at Tian Jiuyi and said. ”You should know something, right, Young Master Tian?”

Tian Jiuyi smiled faintly and nodded. ”I indeed know something. But I’ll talk when he’s ready.” He pointed at Yun Lintian.

”No need. Let’s talk.” Yun Lintian’s eyes snapped open, getting up from the ground. When he heard Yang Chen called Tian Jiuyi as Young Master Tian, he could roughly guess his identity.

Tian Jiuyi stood up and clasped his hands, greeting politely. ”Greetings, this brother. My name is Tian Jiuyi.”

Yun Lintian responded. ”My name is Yun Lintian. May I know, are you a descendant of Principal Tian?”

Tian Jiuyi nodded. ”He’s my great-grandfather.” He then looked at everyone and said. ”I know right now everyone probably has a question. Why did the academy insist on sending everyone here to face this terrifying danger? I can explain this. But before that, let me do something first.”

Following that, Tian Jiuyi raised his head to look at the sky. He swiftly performed a complicated hand-seal, and the invisible barrier in the sky immediately quivered.

Yun Lintian opened Eyes of Heaven and stared at the sky. He quickly noticed a part of the surveillance formation had been forcibly shut down. In short, people on the outside could not observe this area further.

Shifting his gaze on the Tian Jiuyi, Yun Lintian had vaguely guessed something. Since this formation was personally set up by Tian Jiuyi’s ancestor, Lord Sky Throne, it was understandable that he left some means of controlling this formation behind for his descendant.

Tian Jiuyi made sure the surveillance formation in this place had been completely disabled and turned to everyone. ”I’ve closed the formation on this area. People on the outside cannot observe us anymore.” He paused for a moment and continued. ”First of all, let me clarify one thing first.”

”The academy didn’t mean to send everyone to death… Normally, the Saint Profound Beast is restricted by the formation, and it cannot travel to the outer area of the forest. So, the participants are pretty much safe, unless they have ventured deep into the center area.”

Hearing this, Yang Chen interrupted. ”You are trying to say that we are unlucky this time?”

Tian Jiuyi nodded admittedly. ”Indeed. If they could interfere with the surveillance formation, as Brother Yun said. I am pretty sure they have already found a way to break the restriction. However, from what I checked on the formation earlier, I believe they hadn’t fully grasped the control yet. That means we still have a chance.”

Yun Lintian’s brain worked quickly. ”If I guessed correctly, someone from the Tian clan would enter this place every time it opened, right? And all of you have carried some sort of a mission related to this.”

Tian Jiuyi smiled brightly. ”As expected from a powerful person like you, Brother Yun. What you said is correct. Every descendant of my clan has to learn how to control the formation here and is given a mission to make sure the terrifying existence that hiding in this place could not go out.”

”Terrifying existence? What is it?” Qin Yiran asked. Judging from Tian Jiuyi’s words, he didn’t seem to refer to Abyssal Devourer at all. That meant there was someone far stronger than that in this place.

Tian Jiuyi did not reply to Qin Yiran’s question but asked the question. ”Have you ever wondered why this place is called Fallen Dragon Forest?” He didn’t wait for the answer as he continued, ”My ancestor, Lord Sky Throne, had discovered this place three thousand years ago, but at that time, this place hadn’t been called Fallen Dragon Forest yet.. It had been changed to Fallen Dragon Forest after he had imprisoned something in this place… And yes, that thing is called Fallen Dragon… A genuine dragon.”
