Myth Beyond Heaven

Hearing Yun Lintian go around rejecting his proposal, Shen Mingjun was slightly disappointed, but it was understandable. With Yun Lintian's current background and power, his daughter had no advantage at all. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

He thought for a moment and asked. "How much do you know about our Mirage Island?"

Yun Lintian replied. "Honestly, I have no idea, Senior. I only know that it's governed by your Shen Clan and nothing else."

He paused briefly and asked in doubt. "Could it be something happened to the island?"

Under Qin Mei's nudge, Shen Mingjun finally said. "Something indeed happens to the island."

He recollected his words and explained. "The Mirage Island is actually located on a giant stone called Mirage Stone. It could conceal itself by giving off an illusion to the outsider."

"My grandfather found this place by chance and established a city there. However, he later discovered that the entire island was a giant piece of Mirage Stone and would decline as time passed."

He took a deep breath and continued. "As you probably know already that our profound art is heavily focused on our physique and soul. We are also relying on the Mirage Stone to practice it. However, the island has been declining sharply in recent years. If it continues like this, it won't be long before the entire island exhausts its power."

He looked at his daughter and said. "In the future, our Shen Clan will gradually decline once the island is gone. The reason I want her to marry the Divine Thunder Palace is because of this… We are at the point where we need to find an ally to maintain our clan."

Yun Lintian slowly nodded and asked. "Can you show me a piece of the Mirage Stone?"

Shen Mingjun opened his palm, and a dark purple-colored stone appeared on it.

Yun Lintian took it from Shen Mingjun and looked at it through the Eyes of Heaven. Soon, a purple aura appeared in his vision. This aura seemed to affect one's mind as Yun Lintian felt his soul shaking slightly.

"What kind of energy is this?" Yun Lintian asked in his mind.

"It's very rare to see the Heart and Soul stone here," Hongyue said in surprise.

"Heart and Soul stone?" Yun Lintian was puzzled. He had never heard such a term before.

"In the Divine Realm, there is a place called Heart and Soul Realm, which contains a lot of this type of stones. I don't know what exactly it should be called, but everyone called it the Heart and Soul energy." Hongyue explained.

"It has the ability to temper your heart, soul, as well as physique. However, if you use it too much, your mind will be affected, and you can easily lose your sanity." She glanced at Shen Mingjun and said. "It seems his grandfather discover a profound art that is perfectly fit for it."

Yun Lintian raised his head to look at Shen Mingjun and asked. "Is there a situation where people go insane after staying on the island for too long?"

Shen Mingjun was surprised to hear this. He nodded admittedly. "My grandfather and his people had discovered this abnormality, but they managed to curve it with their profound art."

He paused for a moment and continued. "It is called Illusory Heart Divine Art. My grandfather discovered this profound art by chance when he was young. It could calm one's mind and allow a user to see through an illusion as well as an energy flow… We are relying on this profound art and our body refinement art to produce top experts throughout the years."

"And now, Mirage Island is exhausting. Although it is embarrassing to say this, we have no choice but either change our profound art or find a thigh to hold on."

A trace of unwillingness could be seen in Shen Mingjun's eyes. It wasn't that he had no dignity, but as the clan head, he didn't want to see his clan disappear." ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢

Hearing this, Yun Lintian subconsciously glanced at Shen Liqiu. It was no wonder she could see through everyone's realm at a glance back then.

Speaking of this, this kind of ability was similar to his Eyes of Heaven but a bit inferior.

He asked. "But why Divine Thunder Palace? I believe with the Shen Clan's condition, you can even look at the Star Gazing Palace or the Azure Palace."

In terms of strength, the Star Gazing Palace and the Azure Palace were above all. He didn't understand why Shen Mingjun looked at the inferior Divine Thunder Palace instead.

"We have a good relationship with their founder." Shen Mingjun replied. "Unfortunately, we have no news about him now."

He looked at Yun Lintian and said firmly. "I know that my decision is bad and have no dignity, but in order to let my clan exist further, I can do anything, including sacrifice my daughter."

Shen Liqiu looked at her father with disgust. In her opinion, what was wrong with the clan ceased to exist? It was several times better than begging for others.

However, Yun Lintian didn't think so. He was pretty much understanding Shen Mingjun's thinking. This kind of situation and decision appeared in countless dynasties throughout history. In order to allow their family to continue, sacrificing something in exchange for power was necessary.

If Yun Lintian was in such a situation, perhaps he would make the same decision as Shen Mingjun. Fortunately, he hadn't reached this situation yet and probably never throughout his life.

Yun Lintian looked at Shen Mingjun and said sincerely. "As I told Senior before, Liqiu is my friend, and I am willing to help her. On behalf of our group, I am welcoming you to us."

Shen Mingjun was slightly surprised. He didn't expect things to go this smoothly. Today, he witnessed how powerful Yun Lintian's group was. It could be said even the Star Gazing Palace, the Azure Palace, and the Myriad Pill Palace combined might not be compared to his group.

Shen Mingjun took a deep breath and said solemnly. "Thank you. You can tell us directly if you want us to do anything."

Yun Lintian smiled and said. "Our focus has always been the Poison Valley. In this regard, I believe Senior has more experience than me."

Shen Mingjun responded. "Don't call me Senior. Just called my Uncle Shen directly."

"As for the Poison Valley, Our Shen Clan indeed have a lot of experience dealing with them. I will take you to see the records later."
