Myth Beyond Heaven Chapter 4
Advertisement
After leaving Yun Qianxue's chamber, Yun Lintian went straight to the treasury located on the west side of the Misty Cloud Peak. The treasury was a seven-story pagoda with its outer appearance made by simple ancient woods. On the ground laid white marbles, looking extremely clean and vivid. This place might look unsecured by its ordinary appearance, but Yun Lintian knew there were countless traps around the vicinity, and some of them could easily take his life at any time.
At the center of the first floor was a simple two-meter-long wooden counter. Sitting behind it was an elegant, mature woman. Influenced by the Sect's Profound Art, most of the women in the Misty Cloud Sect would possess an incomparably cold temperament, but this woman emanated an extremely gentle aura, making people feel at ease when they were around her.
Her countenance could be described as a noble beauty. A pair of slender eyes were filled with boundless tenderness, soft arch shape eyebrows, and a gentle smile hung on her petal-like lips. She was the Second Hall Master, Yun Qingrou.
All the Four Hall Masters of the sect were specialized in different profound knowledge. They had a unique trait and were approachable despite they possessed a high status. The First Hall Master, Yun Ruanyu, was an expert on teaching profound ways. Every disciple in the sect was taught by her, and when it came to battle tactics, she was also the most reliable one. It could be said she was the brain of the sect.
The Second Hall Master, Yun Qingrou, was an excellent doctor, and she had high attainment of alchemy. It could be said that she was Yun Lintian's master in the medical profound art, and she was one of the closest persons to him besides Yun Qianxue and Yun Meilan.
The Third Hall Master, Yun Huanxin, was an expert in the spatial technique. It was because of her unique Profound Vein, the Heavenly Void Profound Vein — allowing her to master the Space element, which extremely rare among profound practitioners in Azure World.
Lastly, the Fourth Hall Master, Yun Lingwei, was a Heaven Profound Formation Master. Every profound formation around the sect was her effort. Normally, she was serving as a treasury guardian. Unless there was a new profound formation for her to set up, she rarely leaving the treasury.
"Eh? Second Aunt, why are you here?" Yun Lintian said as he walked into the treasury. He was surprised to see Yun Qingrou behind the counter instead of the Fourth Hall Master, who usually served as a treasury guardian. With how close the relationship between him and all the upper echelons, Yun Lintian always treated them as his aunt.
Yun Qingrou raised her head slightly. A smile bloomed on her lips upon seeing Yun Lintian. She replied, "Your Fourth Aunt is about to make a breakthrough. She went to prepare herself."

Yun Lintian smiled, "Then, I have to congratulate her in advance."
"She'd love to hear that." Yun Qingrou responded and asked further, "What brings you here?"
"I came here to retrieve some materials for the Heaven Suppressing Formation. Can you give me the list, Second Aunt?" Yun Lintian walked to Yun Qingrou's side and sat down on a vacant seat.
"Here, you can take a look." Yun Qingrou passed him an ordinary-looking big leather book.
Yun Lintian injected a trace of profound energy into it. The complicated ancient writing instantly appeared on the book's cover before it magically flipped open by itself. There was a ton of information written on each page. It was the list of the currently available treasures storing in the treasury.
Skimming through the book for a while, Yun Lintian's brows creased together as he discovered the essential materials for the Heaven Suppressing Formation were missing. He turned to Yun Qingrou and said, "Second Aunt, we are short in many materials. I think we need to take a trip to the capital city."
"Oh? Really?" Yun Qingrou was surprised. She rarely served as a treasure guardian; it was natural she knew little about the treasury's situation: "I heard our disciple was attacked by the Fire Spirit Snake in this morning. I don't think we should go out during this period."
Yun Lintian nodded: "It's true. Our movement might arouse their suspicions." He thought for a moment and spoke, "How about I go? We can activate a secret transmission point."
Yun Qingrou had a thoughtful expression, "You should ask Sect Master about this. Although they don't know you, it doesn't mean you are safe out there. Your strength is too low to go out alone."
"I'll be careful. You don't have to worry, Second Aunt. No one would pay attention to an ordinary boy like me and I don't think I would cause any problem by myself." Yun Lintian responded… Hmm? Why do I feel like I'm going to cause a problem out there? No way, I shouldn't have the legendary protagonist's problem magnet aura, right?
"It's useless to say this to me. Your mother… ahem… Sect Master won't be at ease letting you go alone. You should know about that." Yun Qingrou gave a light chuckle.
Yun Lintian smiled wryly when he heard this. Thinking back to the past when he first went down the mountain. Yun Qianxue had mobilized six elders and two hall masters to protect him in secret. Yun Lintian did not know if there was any poor soul who died trying to rob him under this insanely powerful lineup back then.
"Well… I will talk with her." Yun Lintian spoke uncertainly.
Yun Qingrou said nothing further on this matter; instead, she asked, "How is your progress? Is there any problem?"

Yun Lintian shook his head: "There is no problem with my practice. Rather, the problem lies in my limited talent." There wasn't a slight agitation in his voice when talking about how untalented he was.
Yun Qingrou comforted, "Don't worry. I believe you will soar into the sky one day."
"Thank you, Second Aunt." Yun Lintian accepted with a smile while he was cursing in his heart at the God of Transmigration for leaving him without a plot-armor.
...
Yun Lintian went back to his cabin nearby the cliff on the east side of the peak. He sat on the chair, pondering his next move. The Heavenly Fortune Capital City trip was full of dangers, and he might end up dead at any moment with his currently pitiful strength.
During this trip, he needed to purchase a large number of materials, and some of them were precious treasures. With his identity, he might not be able to get them even he had money. Thus, he needed to come up with a concrete plan.
"What are you thinking?" A familiar female voice suddenly rang out behind Yun Lintian. He quickly turned around and saw Yun Qianxue slowly approaching him with a smile.
"Mom, I need to go to the capital city to buy something." Yun Lintian stood up and said.
Yun Qianxue pulled Yun Lintian's hand to sit on his wooden bed, and she replied, "Why do you need to go in a person? Why don't you let your Aunt Meilan go instead?"
Yun Lintian shook his head and said with a severed expression, "No, we can't let anyone know of our movement. I am the most suitable to go. It just that I can't figure out how to purchase it. You know that among them, the Heavenly Yin Iron is very precious. I don't think they would sell it to me."
Yun Qianxue nodded her head, expressing her understanding. She asked, "How much do we need?"
"At least five kilograms." Yun Lintian answered.
Just as Yun Qianxue about to say further, her expression turned back to her usual cold and indifferent before she spoke, "Come in."
Outside of the cabin, Yun Xiaohong was startled for a moment. Earlier, she was about to knock on the door, but she heard Yun Qianxue's voice coming out from the cabin, shocking her witless. She calmed herself down, opened the door, and walked into the cabin.
"Disciple Yun Xiaohong greetings Sect Master." Yun Xiaohong quickly bowed her head before Yun Qianxue.
"What's the matter?" Yun Qianxue asked.
"This disciple has fed all the three pellets to my sister, Yun Xiaotong, according to Senior Brother Yun's instruction and come here to report." Yun Xiaohong answered cautiously, as she was extremely nervous inside.
Yun Qianxue turned to look at Yun Lintian curiously. The latter smiled and said, "I've told her to call me if she finished feeding Junior Sister Xiaotong the pills. I need to go check on her."
"Alright, you can come to see me later." Yun Qianxue stood up and vanished into thin air upon finishing her sentence.
"Let's go." Yun Lintian stood up and beckoned Yun Xiaohong. Both of them immediately headed toward the Recovery Hall.
...
"She should be fine now. You don't have to worry about it." Yun Lintian wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to Yun Xiaohong beside him. He had finished treating Yun Xiaotong and spent a considerable amount of his profound energy. His current expression was quite pale, and he looked fatigued.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yun. I'll definitely repay this." Yun Xiaohong said with gratitude.
Yun Lintian waved his hand dismissively: "You don't have to. It just a matter of raising my hand… all right, I will go now. Making sure to give Xiaotong a proper meal. She needs good nutrition, and tell her to stop practicing during this week."
"Understood, Senior Brother Yun." Yun Xiaohong nodded her head firmly.
Yun Lintian gave her a smile and walked out of the hall. He then made his way to Yun Qianxue's chamber once again.
When he arrived at the chamber, he saw Yun Meilan sitting beside Yun Qianxue, looking at him.
"Greetings, Aunt Meilan." Yun Lintian gave her a slight bow.
"Come, take a seat." Yun Meilan said, and motioned him to take a seat.
Yun Lintian did not stand on ceremony; he sat on the ice chair around the ice table and poured himself a cup of fragrant tea.
"I have discussed with Meilan. She will accompany you on this trip." Yun Qianxue put down a cup of tea and spoke.
Yun Lintian nodded his head, "No problem." He knew that the Supreme Master, Yun Meilan, was an expert in concealment and could be said she was the most terrifying assassin in the Heavenly Fortune Nation. With her accompanying him on the trip, his safety would be more secured.
"What about the purchase problem?" Yun Meilan asked.
Yun Lintian smiled confidently and answered, "I think I have a plan. However, it depends on luck a bit. If this plan doesn't work, I will take another way. Both of you can rest assured."
Yun Qianxue and Yun Meilan glanced at each other and didn't say anything, expressing their approval.

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.

A Will to Recognize
What do you think it takes to live? Is it strength? Power? Magic? Unparalleled intelligence? Or are they all mere accessories to the fact that life is irrelevant? Do you have what it takes to bear the burden of life? Does life even matter? I don't know, and to be frank, I am somehow alive; I was even able to function in society at one point. It frightens me to think no one else knows our purpose: not our parents, friends, or mentors. And I can't bring myself to surrender to any religion. But I do have a direction. A goal, one might say. My wish is to one day shout on top of the highest mountains, "Life doesn't frighten me!" But that won't happen. Because I died a long time ago. ... You're still here? That? Oh it was all in the script. You didn't think I'd actually say that cringey stuff, did you? ~Daniel
