Myth Beyond Heaven Chapter 5
Advertisement
The following day, Yun Lintian finished the breakfast unhurriedly and headed to the transmission point near the treasury building. When he arrived, Yun Qianxue and Yun Meilan had already waited for him.
"You're here." Yun Qianxue greeted Yun Lintian warmly, while Yun Meilan only gave him a nod.
Yun Lintian smiled and said, "Let's set off."
Yun Qianxue stepped forward and handed a mystical design golden-colored ring to Yun Lintian: "This is the interspatial ring. Mom will give it to you."
Yun Lintian was surprised slightly. To his knowledge, the interspatial ring was very rare and insanely expensive. Even among the top clans in the Heavenly Fortune Nation might be unnecessary to have it in their possession.
He took the ring and examined it carefully. The body of the ring was made with an unknown material that Yun Lintian didn't recognize. There were ancient writings around the ring, and a hexagon shape amethyst was put in the middle. An exquisite Phoenix pattern was engraved around the base of the amethyst, making the ring appeared to be more imposing. When he wore it on his right ring finger, it was surprisingly fit, as if it was tailor-made for him.
Yun Lintian injected his profound energy into it and discovered a vast space within the ring — it was too spacious, estimating hundreds of thousands of cubic meters. It could easily contain anything that Yun Lintian could think of. At the corner of the space, there was a mountain of gold coins and gold notes stacking together; estimating more than hundreds of millions which made him stupefied for a while.
"This…" Yun Lintian was shocked. Although he never saw the interspatial ring before, according to his knowledge, most of them only had around ten cubic meters. However, the space inside of this ring had clearly surpassed all of them by unimagined margins. Not to mention the astonishing sum of money piled up at the corner. This enormous wealth was even far beyond the total amount of the golds in the Misty Cloud Sect's treasury.
Yun Qianxue laughed at his reaction: "There is nothing to be surprised. This ring is the best interspatial ring in the entire world."
Yun Lintian was silent. He didn't know why Yun Qianxue suddenly gave him this. He looked at her questioningly, waiting for the explanation.
"You want to know the origin of this ring?" Yun Qianxue asked. Without waiting for Yun Lintian to answer, she said further, "When the time comes, mom will tell you. Right now, you can drip a drop of blood onto the amethyst above the ring."

Yun Lintian immediately bit his finger and dropped a droplet of blood onto the amethyst on top of the ring. Instantaneously, all the ancient writings lit up in golden light, and the ring mysteriously disappeared from everyone's sight.
"What?…" Yun Lintian was confused. He clearly felt the ring was still on his finger, but he could not see it.
"This is the unique ability of the ring. It can hide its presence from people's Spiritual Sense. Even the Monarch Profound Realm's practitioner won't be able to detect it." Yun Qianxue explained.
Yun Lintian gasped in the cold air. This invisible ability was too heaven-defying. He took a small silver needle box out of his sleeves and stored it into the ring. Apparently, he could take and keep the item while the ring was in this invisible state. With this, he didn't have to fear anyone would covet his ring anymore.
"Thank you, mom." Yun Lintian spoke warmly.
"It's belonged to you in the first place." Yun Qianxue replied.
Yun Lintian was puzzled a little, but he didn't have time to further pursue the matter, as Yun Meilan had already walked into the transmission profound formation. He had to follow her hurriedly.
"Be careful out there." Yun Qianxue said and waved her hand.
A pattern on the transmission profound formation lit up, emitting a white light wrapping around Yun Lintian and Yun Meilan. A moment later, their figures immediately disappeared from the place. Yun Qianxue stared at the disappearing spot for a while before her figure vanished into thin air afterward.
...
"So this is the capital city?" Yun Lintian muttered while looking at a gigantic stone wall distant away. He was now wearing simple white robes, without any disguise. In the world where the practitioner had a spiritual sense, all the disguises with simple makeup that he learned from Earth had become useless. Therefore, he won't bother to put up any disguise to hide his identity.
Yun Lintian slowly walked toward a city gate. Earlier, he had appeared in a secret place nearby the capital city, and Yun Meilan had disappeared before he could say anything. However, Yun Lintian was well aware she should be nearby around him.
As he was approaching the city gate, a colossal archway became more apparent to his sight. There was a huge golden-colored sign written as 'Eastern Heavenly Fortune City Gate' on it. Before the gate, various carriages and people were queuing up into a long line, going through the identity checking process before entering the city. Yun Lintian had also joined the line upon he arrived at the gate's area.

"Move away!" All of a sudden, a burst of sharp cry came from behind everyone. A middle-aged man in grey clothes riding a white one-horned profound beast, roared while dragging a luxury carriage behind. From afar, he looked like a bolt of lightning over a white shadow.
Everyone hurriedly dodged to the side, paving a way for the incoming Profound Beast carriage. Seeing this, the city guards didn't dare to say anything as they let the carriage passed through the gate with no attempt to check the identity of the carriage.
As the carriage passed by Yun Lintian, he clearly saw a sharp "Luo" character on top of a spear symbol engraving on the carriage's body… Luo clan? They indeed enjoy the privilege huh? Undoubtedly, the person in the carriage was either an arrogant young miss or a classic young master who failed to see Mount Tai as usual. He thought to himself.
When the carriage disappeared into the city, the calmness had returned to the scene once again as the guards continued to check everyone's identity one by one. It took another hour before Yun Lintian's turn had come.
"Name?" asked a stout guard.
"Yun Lintian from Verdant Town." Yun Lintian replied calmly.
"Oh? You came from the Verdant Town?" The stout guard looked up and down at Yun Lintian.
"Yes. I took a carriage from there to Maple Town before walking to the city afterward." Yun Lintian came up with a lie without blinking an eye. He took out a gold coin and stuffed it into the stout guard's hand before he said, "Brother guard, can you tell me where is the best inn in the city?"
The stout guard glanced at the gold coin in his hand and immediately gave Yun Lintian a friendly smile: "Sure, little brother. The best inn in our Heavenly Fortune Capital City is undoubtedly the Sleepless Inn. You can take a carriage from here. It will cost you around ten silver coins."[1]
Yun Lintian had a weird expression on his face… Sleepless Inn? What kind of this place? It's not a brothel, right?
Seeing Yun Lintian's expression, the stout guard chuckled, "I know. The name is quite strange, but you can rest assured, it is definitely not a brothel. I never had a chance to stay there before, but from what I heard, the food, services, and environment there are absolutely top notches. I can see that little brother is quite rich, so I think you should have no problem enjoy the services there."
"I see. May I ask, which clan is the inn belonged to?" Yun Lintian nodded his head and questioned.
The stout guard raised his brows slightly: "It's Hua clan. Why did little brother asking this?"
Yun Lintian smiled while waving his hand: "It's nothing. As you can see, it is my first time being here in the capital city. I know little about the situation here. I just want to make sure that I didn't offend anyone from these powerful clans."
The stout guard's brows relaxed: "I see. Little brother can go to any miscellaneous store and buy a city map from there. You can learn a piece of general city information from it."
Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, brother guard. I'll take my leave now."
The stout guard nodded and turned to resume his duty. Yun Lintian gradually walked through the city gate, and the city scenery immediately came into his vision.
The Heavenly Fortune Capital City was very prosperous, worthy of being the nation's capital city. All the streets crisscrossed symmetrically, with each main street being very spacious on both sides, these streets intertwined together much like a well-designed spider's web.
On both sides of the street, there were a variety of shops and stores. Many of these stores were selling things that Yun Lintian often heard about but never had a chance to see it. Most of the shops were engaged in sales and purchases of various Profound Beast materials, low rank Spiritual Grasses, and there were also some stores that sold weapons. Some of the stores were high-end, they sold various high-graded artifacts and medicinal elixirs. As for those restaurants, ordinary clothing shops, and brothels, they were just too many to count.
There were all kinds of buildings in the capital city. Most of them were built with an ancient Chinese architecture theme, arranging neatly on both sides of the streets. It made the capital city appear extremely magnificent and decorative.
Yun Lintian found a random miscellaneous store and immediately walked in without thinking much. When he came out, a leather map could be seen in his hand.
"I see, there are six major clans huh?" Reading the map attentively, Yun Lintian thought to himself.

Chimera
Eleanor meant the world to Titus. So when an opportunity to bring her murderer to justice appears, Titus jumps on the chance. His quest, however, would mean traversing the dangerous world of Nivandor, a land infested with monsters, night hunters, and corrupt kings–nothing he and his lord, Lady Priscilla, couldn't handle. Their plans change, however, when both of them are dragged into a nightmare realm, a dimension filled with strange and powerful terrors unlike any they've ever faced. Titus's skill as a kinetic mage is put to the ultimate test as he must work with his lord to fight off the increasingly dangerous monsters that hunt them as they hunt down the three remaining Seraph lords sustaining the Nightmare. For only when the final Seraph lord is slain will the Nightmare truly end. --- Happy Holidays! I tried to get a chapter out this month, but there was just too much stuff to do and I got sick. There will also be more stuff to do come the month of December to the point that I don't think I will have a chance to finish the current story arc on a strong note. So, as of today, I will be going on hiatus until the holidays are over. I will hopefully return with the last few chapters of book 2 as well as the DLC chapters to help clarify Titus and Priscilla's powers as well as a look into their lives before the story gets crazy (maybe 6-7 chapters). These chapters are planned to take place in the day between Chapter 1.4 & Chapter 1.5, detailing the day they had before going to Nivandor. How the DLC chapters will be titled is to be decided. The DLC chapters will be posted here free as usual. Really excited to get a break so I can catch up on chapters. Even more excited to be able to start book 3 once the current story arc is finished. Warmly, Daniel --- Disclamer: This story is not a finished product and will be undergoing changes, sometimes significant changes, as the story develops. Think of it as an early access story where nothing is fully set in stone. If I change a part of the story that you really love, I'm sorry, but changing one part of the story will affect the other parts I try to avoid major changes, especially in older chapters, but for the newer ones there will probably be more fine tuning. As for anyone invested in the story who is not happy with the way the story is going, feel free to DM me so I can get feedback. I want to know how you guys feel about the story, what changes I can make, at what point in the story I may have lost you. But until I get specific feedback, I won't know what changes might need to be made. There are about 14 chapters left for Part 2 of Chimera, give or take. I don't have a time frame for when they will be up but know I am chipping away at the chapters as I can. Warm Regards, Daniel --- Cover art credit goes to Brosedesignz, who has an awesome selection of both premade and custom book covers at great prices on her website. She can also be found at thebookcoverdesigner.com, which is where I found my cover.

Childhood Sweethearts
#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together."Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine.
