《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 65: Motivation
Advertisement
The gigantic waterfall rushed down, constantly crashed into the lake below, causing the mist to rise into the air. The enormous deafening sound was like the rumbling of thunder, which traveled far and wide.
Under this waterfall's curtain, a figure was blown away by the immense pressure that was capable of smashing one's body into pieces. However, the figure did not give up as he madly continued to jump in without caring for his own safety. This figure was no other than Yun Lintian, who had practice under the waterfall for over two weeks. Up until now, he could not stand under the waterfall for more than five seconds.
Moreover, it wasn't just him alone. Yun Qianxue, Yun Lingwei, Yun Qingrou, Yun Meilan, and Yun Ruanyu had joined this seemingly insane practice method as well.
On the shore, a group of women sat behind a table, watching Yun Lintian's group while eating food. Every day, when they took a rest from the construction work, they would always come to this spot to observe Yun Lintian's group practice. The scene where Yun Lintian and the others were blown away, jumping up and repeated the action, had become a daily routine in everyone's eyes.
"Don't tell me, we have to do this in the future as well?" Yun Jiajia said while wolfing down a braised chicken.
"Jiajia, you shouldn't talk while chewing." Yun Li reprimanded.
"Sorry, hehe." Yun Jiajia stuck her tongue out apologetically after drinking a mouthful of water.
"Naturally, we have to do this. Headmaster has already told us before." Yun Ting answered as she placed the spoon on her plate. Currently, she had already reached the fourth level of Foundation Profound Realm since Yun Lintian had transformed her Profound Vein two weeks ago.
During this period, Yun Lintian's transformation power was known by everyone within the sect. At first, he wanted to hide this secret from them. Still, after consulting with Yun Ruanyu, he decided to use the Enlightening Guide Technique to plant this secret in everyone's subconscious. Surprisingly, it worked perfectly fine as everyone was aware of the power, but they could not tell specifically when they want to.

Yun Jiajia looked at Yun Ting enviously, "Sister Ting, how do you feel after getting the full-element Profound Vein? I don't know when Headmaster is going to bestow me."
Yun Ting smiled faintly, "It feels great as if you've reborn again."
Yun Jiajia had a yearning look on her face and turned her head to look at Yun Lintian in the lake. She wished he could give her this new power as soon as possible. It wasn't because she was greedy, but rather she wanted to experience it by herself after listening to Yun Ting and other sisters talking about it.
"Let's go. The rest hour is over." Yun Chan, who had quietly observed Yun Lintian's group, said while taking her plate to clean up.
Everyone immediately followed her afterward. Although they had worked hard the entire day and night without proper rest, they did not complain even once. How could they have the face to complain? In their eyes, living in the Land of Beyond Heaven was akin to living in paradise. Not only was this place beautiful and serene beyond words, but it also possessed endless resources. Hence, doing labored works was nothing to them compared to the benefit they got in return.
A week ago, they grew vegetables in the fertile land under Yun Qingrou's guidance and discovered all the vegetables were growing up ten times faster than their regular cycles. This had also applied to every medicinal plant.
The first time when he heard about this, Yun Lintian thought the Land of Beyond Heaven had a time accelerate ability, but there was no such a thing after he thoroughly investigated. The time flow within this place and the outside world was not different. This abnormal growth rate did not apply to the vegetables in the fertile area only, but it also happened everywhere in the Land of Beyond Heaven.
When Yun Lintian realized this, he did not forget to toss the Celestial Buddha Lotus into the Profound Spirit Lake, letting it grow further. He believed he could duplicate it in the future.

Boom!
Yun Lintian managed to stand on a flat boulder without being blasted away as usual. In the next second, the impact of the enormous current collided ruthlessly into his body, breaking apart his weak defense instantly, and smashed him violently into the boulder under his feet before he had been washed away, rolling into the lake.
Yun Qianxue was frightened when she saw this and quickly found Yun Lintian, pulling him up to the lake's surface.
"Lintian! Come here, Sister Qingrou!" Yun Qianxue saw Yun Lintian's bloody appearance and anxiously shouted at Yun Qingrou. She could clearly see several of his bones were broken.
Yun Qingrou arrived at their sides and examined Yun Lintian carefully. A while later, she said. "There is no severe danger, but he should not continue further."
Yun Qianxue heaved a sigh of relief and prepared to bring him to the shore. However, Yun Lintian suddenly grabbed her arm and stubbornly said, "Stop. I can continue."
"Are you crazy!? Look at your broken ribs. How can you possibly continue like this?" Yun Qianxue frowned and became angry. In her opinion, it was unnecessary for him to practice hastily like this. Even if his progress was slow, he could just stay in this place for several decades until he was strong enough.
Yun Lintian stared at her. He understood her thought, but he could not accept it. "I need to." He said weakly. "I can wait, but you can't. I have to find the Tree of Life as soon as possible."
Even though Yun Qianxue's practice progress was fast, it was not fast enough in Yun Lintian's eyes. Following this rate, there was a high chance she could not break through to the Ruler Profound Realm within ten years. Therefore, Yun Lintian spent his free time reading many books, searching for a way to extend Yun Qianxue's lifespan, and the legendary Tree of Life had become his ultimate goal.
Of course, there were other options, but nothing could compare to the Tree of Life, as the latter had no side effect, while the rest could damage the target's foundation in the long term.
Yun Qianxue was moved and almost shed a tear. Yun Qingrou had told her about the Tree of Life before, but she never hoped for it. After all, it was a legendary existence. Even if there was one, it certainly not easy to obtain it.
She was silent for a while before resolutely dragged Yun Lintian to the shore without caring about his protest. To her, Yun Lintian was everything. She could not bear to see him dangering himself, especially because of her.
"I forbid you from doing this. At least you have to wait until you've recovered." Yun Qianxue said softly and placed Yun Lintian on an extended bench.
Yun Lintian struggled to get up, but it was futile under Yun Qianxue's strength. He looked at her for a while before letting out a soft sigh and accepted her request. "Fine. I'll continue after my bones have recovered."
"Good." Yun Qianxue stroked his face affectionately after feeding him a healing pill and went back to the lake with great determination. She wanted to erase Yun Lintian's worry by proving she was capable of breaking through to the Ruler Profound Realm within ten years.
Boom!
Yun Qianxue jumped onto the boulder and resisted the tremendous impact of the waterfall with all her might. Instantaneously, a cracking sound could be heard from within her body as she felt her bones started to break apart. Despite being in great pain, she had forcefully managed to endure without moving an inch.
Yun Lintian's heart was tightened seeing her current appearance. He blamed himself for being rash by telling her his motivation, and it directly forced her to do this as a result.

8 65Riftwalker
Legend speaks that a roaring force of insatiable abyss lies beneath the peaceful overworld. Named the Rift after its chasm-like entrances, this unexplored void has consumed the underneath for eons. What had seemed just a myth crawled out of unreality in the form of eldritch creatures. Reborn as something not entirely human, mankind rejected the boy. Thrown into the Rift by people who feared him, he had to live in a world run by monsters as a newborn. Surviving, however, wasn't his only difficulty as he soon had to decide whether he would save the people who banished him or simply idle as the Rift engulfed all life. As of chapter 9, Riftwalker is on a very small hiatus. I'm very busy with work atm :( Here are a couple of things to expect: Lots of action and exploration! Diverse and refreshing creatures; There are good and evil. Satisfying progression and coming of age. The protagonist stands out but isn't overpowered. There are some litRPG elements, but it's not a determinant factor. The fights are decided through one's combat skill and experience and not stat-checking. Oh, and some other info: There is a bit of gore, but nothing disturbing. Occasionally, there will be images of the scenery and landscape. Chapters will be around 1,5k to 2k words long, and the releases will probably be relatively slow, sorry.
