Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2523: Recovery



Tong Jie, her face pale and her eyes wide with shock, rushed toward the wreckage, her heart pounding with fear. She had sensed the violent fluctuations in energy, the sudden surge of power that had shaken the very core of the palace.

Amidst the ruins, Yun Lintian, Xi Xurou, and Cai Xieren were safe and sound under Yun Lintian's barrier.

Tong Jie breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

"What happened?" She stared at Yun Lintian coldly.

Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly and said nothing. Earlier, he had been about to pry into the creature's soul and accidentally triggered a trap inside. It was clearly meant to prevent anyone from searching the creature's memory.

Yun Lintian could have suppressed the explosion, but he felt it was a waste of energy. He decided to take everyone under cover instead.

A lingering fear still gripped Xi Xurou's heart. The explosion earlier was definitely more than enough to blast her to smithereens. Thankfully, the chamber's defensive formation could barely suppress it. Otherwise, the entire palace would have been turned to a wasteland.

She calmed down. "Clear the scene and leave. Also, bring Xia Nongyue here."

Although Tong Jie and the other elders were curious, they didn't dare to disobey. After cleaning the place, they quickly left.

Soon, Tong Jie brought Xia Nongyue over and bowed deeply before leaving.

Xia Nongyue looked at the unconscious Cai Xieren and then at Yun Lintian. "Can you help her?" she asked hopefully.

"Yes," Yun Lintian nodded and took out a bed before placing Cai Xieren on it.

Yun Lintian sat beside Cai Xieren, his gaze gentle as he reached out and placed his hand on her forehead. He closed his eyes, his divine sense extending into the depths of her soul ocean, carefully navigating the delicate pathways of her consciousness.

The chaotic energies that had once ravaged her soul ocean had subsided, leaving behind a tranquil expanse. But Cai Xieren's soul was still weak, its light flickering like a dying ember. The creature of chaos had left its mark, a lingering darkness that clung to her essence.

Yun Lintian channeled his divine energy, the power of the Tree of Life flowing through his veins, merging with his profound understanding of the Laws of Life. He gently coaxed Cai Xieren's soul back to its full strength, nurturing its fragile light, mending its wounded

essence.

He carefully peeled away the layers of darkness that clung to her soul, his divine sense a gentle yet persistent force that slowly but surely cleansed her spirit. With each layer that dissolved, Cai Xieren's soul grew brighter, its light shining with a renewed vigor.

As Yun Lintian worked, he noticed a strange restriction woven into the fabric of Cai Xieren's soul, a barrier crafted from the Law of Order. It was a subtle yet powerful force, a prison that confined her true essence, preventing her from fully accessing her own power.

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed in concentration as he examined the restriction. He recognized its intricate patterns, its complex formations, its subtle connection to the chaotic energy. It was a masterful creation, a testament to the power of the one who had crafted it.

He delved deeper into the restriction, his understanding of the Law of Order expanding with each passing moment. He traced the intricate pathways of its energy, unraveling its secrets, deciphering its purpose.

"I see."

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Yun Lintian grasped the essence of the restriction. It was not meant to harm Cai Xieren, but to protect her, to shield her from the corrupting influence of the chaotic energies.

With a newfound clarity, Yun Lintian began to dismantle the restriction, his divine sense carefully unraveling its intricate formations, his touch gentle yet precise. He worked with a surgeon's precision, ensuring that Cai Xieren's soul remained unharmed throughout the process.

As the final layer of the restriction dissolved, Cai Xieren's soul blossomed, its light shining with a brilliance that illuminated her entire soul ocean. Her true essence, freed from its confines, surged forth, its power and vitality restored.

Cai Xieren's eyes fluttered open, her gaze meeting Yun Lintian's. Her eyes were clear and bright, her expression filled with newfound clarity and strength.

"Where is this...?" she uttered in confusion.

Xia Nongyue smiled warmly. "Welcome back, Sister Cai," she said, her voice filled with relief and joy.

Cai Xieren was startled and looked at Xia Nongyue. "Nongyue?" she asked uncertainly. She couldn't understand how she had appeared here. Wasn't she supposed to be in the Haven?

"It's me, Sister Cai," Xia Nongyue said quickly. "Do you remember anything?"

Cai Xieren's brow furrowed slightly as she tried to recall her memories. Fragments of images flickered through her mind, like scattered pieces of a shattered mirror. She remembered entering the Haven, a realm of breathtaking beauty and serenity, a stark contrast to the chaotic expanse of the Abyssal Rift.

"The Haven..." she murmured, her voice barely a whisper. "It was...peaceful."

A wave of confusion washed over her as she struggled to grasp the elusive memories. "I remember....training," she continued, her voice laced with uncertainty. "But...there's something...something missing."

Xia Nongyue's heart ached for her friend's confusion. She hugged her gently. "It's fine. You don't have to think about it."

Cai Xieren ignored her and continued to speak to herself. "I remember they brought me to the Land of Chaos, the heart of the Haven. I stayed there for a long time, training hard. I couldn't remember anything afterward."

Yun Lintian frowned slightly. When he had checked her soul earlier, there wasn't any direct injury to it. Clearly, she must have been taken by surprise.

However, he wasn't surprised, as it was the Lord of Chaos's territory, after all. Cai Xieren was like a fish on a chopping board the moment she stepped into the Haven.

Cai Xieren noticed Yun Lintian. "Who are you? Thank you for saving me."

"I'm Yun Lintian, the Beyond Heaven King's successor," Yun Lintian said calmly.

Cai Xieren trembled, her eyes widening in shock. She broke out of Xia Nongyue's embrace and grabbed Yun Lintian's arms. "Where is he?"

"Calm down," Yun Lintian said. "I don't know where he is right now. I have never met him."

Cai Xieren stared at Yun Lintian for a moment and let go of his arms. "I'm sorry. I was too

excited."

"It's fine. Take a good rest first, and we will talk about it later," Yun Lintian said.
