Myth Beyond Heaven

The woman in the white robe watched Fan Shen’s retreating figure with calm, unyielding eyes. Only when he had completely vanished did she turn her attention back to Yun Lintian and Ye Yingxi. Her presence was serene, yet it carried an undeniable weight, as if the very world bent to her will.

Without a word, she raised her hand, and two thick green vines emerged from the ground, coiling gently around Yun Lintian and Ye Yingxi. The vines pulsed with a vibrant, life-giving energy.

Yun Lintian immediately recognized it-the Great Law of Life. It was the same power he had wielded through his Tree of Life, but this was far purer, far more potent.

Yun Lintian’s eyes widened in confusion as the vines began to heal his injuries. The pain that had wracked his body moments ago began to fade, replaced by a soothing warmth that spread through his veins. His shattered bones mended, his torn flesh knitted back together, and even his depleted energy reserves began to replenish at an astonishing rate.

Ye Yingxi, too, was healed, her dark energy stabilizing as the vines worked their magic. She looked at the woman in the white robe with a mixture of gratitude and curiosity, but she remained silent, sensing that this was not the time for questions.

Yun Lintian, however, couldn’t hold back. He stared at the woman, his mind racing.

“Who are you?” he asked, his voice filled with awe and confusion. “This power… it’s the Great Law of Life. How do you wield it so effortlessly?”

The woman didn’t answer his question directly. Instead, she turned to Ye Yingxi, her voice calm but commanding. “You should regroup your people and prepare for the next battle. The Eternal Night Palace is no longer safe. They will return.”

Ye Yingxi nodded, her expression serious. She knew better than to argue with someone of this woman’s power.

“Understood,” she said, bowing slightly before turning to leave. She cast one last glance at Yun Lintian, her eyes filled with unspoken words, before disappearing into the shadows.

Once Ye Yingxi was gone, the woman turned her attention back to Yun Lintian. She waved her hand, and the vines that had been healing him retracted, vanishing into the ground. Yun Lintian felt stronger than he had in a long time, his body and spirit rejuvenated. But his mind was still filled with questions.

“Who are you?” he asked again, his voice firmer this time. “And why did you save me?”

The woman regarded him for a moment, her gaze softening slightly. “Come with me,” she said simply. Before Yun Lintian could respond, she waved her hand again, and the world around them shifted.

In an instant, they were no longer on the battlefield. Instead, they stood in a serene, otherworldly landscape. The sky above was a soft, shimmering blue, and the ground beneath their feet was covered in lush, green grass.

“Where are we?” Yun Lintian asked, his voice filled with awe.

“This is a pocket dimension I created,” the woman replied, her tone calm and measured. “A place where we can speak without interruption.”

Yun Lintian turned to face her, his eyes narrowing slightly. “You still haven’t answered my question. Who are you?”

The woman hesitated for a moment, as if weighing her words carefully. Then, she reached up and pulled back the hood of her white robe, revealing her face.

She was strikingly beautiful, with sharp features and eyes that seemed to hold the wisdom of ages. Her long, dark hair cascaded down her back, and her presence was both comforting and intimidating.

“My name is Yun Ling,” she said, her voice soft but filled with authority.

Yun Lintian’s breath caught in his throat. The name sounded familiar, but he couldn’t quite place it. And yet, there was something about her face, something about her presence, that felt… familiar. As if he had known her in another life.

“Yun Ling…” he repeated, his voice barely above a whisper. “Why does that name sound so familiar? And why do you look…?”

Yun Ling’s expression softened, and for a moment, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. “It’s normal that you don’t remember me, Young Master. Your memory has been sealed.” she said softly.

“Young Master? My memory has been…sealed?” Yun Lintian was even more confused. “What’s going on?”

“It’s not your fault. Your memories were sealed long ago, to protect you. But the time has come for you to know the truth.” Yun Ling said gently.

Yun Lintian’s heart pounded in his chest. “The truth? What truth?”

Yun Ling turned back to him, her eyes filled with a mixture of determination and sorrow. “The truth about your parents. The truth about who you are. And the truth about why you were left behind.”

Yun Lintian’s mind reeled. He had spent his entire life searching for answers, and now, standing before Yun Ling, he felt as if he was on the verge of finally uncovering them.

“Tell me,” he said, his voice filled with urgency. “Tell me everything.”

Yun Ling regarded Yun Lintian with a calm yet piercing gaze, as if weighing the gravity of her next words. She reached into the folds of her white robe and withdrew a small, glowing orb of light. It pulsed softly, radiating an ancient, profound energy that seemed to resonate with Yun Lintian’s very soul.

“This,” she said, holding the orb gently in her palm, “contains the memories you’ve lost. The memories of who you truly are. Once you see them, there will be no turning back. Are you ready, Young Master?”

Yun Lintian’s heart raced. He had spent his entire life searching for answers, for the truth about his parents, his origins, and the strange, fragmented memories that sometimes haunted his dreams. Now, standing before Yun Ling, he felt both anticipation and trepidation. But there was no hesitation in his voice as he replied, “I’m ready.”

Yun Ling nodded, her expression softening. “Then let the truth be revealed.”

With a swift motion, she pressed the orb of light into Yun Lintian’s forehead. The moment it touched him, the orb dissolved into a flood of radiant energy, surging into his mind like a tidal wave.

Yun Lintian’s vision blurred, and his body stiffened as the memories rushed in, overwhelming

him…
