《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 225: Visiting Academy
Advertisement
"So this is the renowned Sky Throne Profound Academy, huh?" Yun Lintian said in a low voice while looking at a vast forest and mountain area before him. His first expectation before coming this was a place full of buildings, but the reality was entirely opposite it.
The Sky Throne Profound Academy in front of him spanned thousands of kilometers. The majority of the area was covered with dense forests and mountains. There were several extensive, simple gravel paths crossed through the woods, leading deep into the academy.
Roughly a hundred meters away from Yun Lintian's position was an ordinary small building. It was plain without any decoration, and the materials were also common woods.
"Surprise?" Bai Yun saw Yun Lintian and Yang Chen's puzzled expressions.
Yun Lintian nodded. "I thought this place would fill with countless buildings as well as students, but I didn't expect it would be this desert and full of mountains and forests instead."
"When I first came here several years ago, I also had the same idea as yours. Later, I learned that Lord Sky Throne had advocated and encouraged everyone to live close to nature as much as possible. That's why this place is like this." Bai Yun explained with a trace of reminiscence in his eyes.
"I see…By the way, Brother Bai. Why did you leave the academy?" Yun Lintian asked curiously. He only knew that Bai Yun was a former student of the academy and nothing more. He didn't understand why Bai Yun abandoned such a lofty status just like that.
Hearing this question, Bai Yun let out a long sigh before replying. "I am the eldest son, that's why. In the future, I have to succeed in my father's position, anyway. So, why should I stay here further?"

Yun Lintian immediately understood. Bai Yun was entirely different from Peng Haoye. He was only an outstanding student, nothing more than that. He could not ignore the academy's rule and secretly help his Bai clan like Peng Haoye. Therefore, leaving was the only choice for him.
Bai Yun looked at Yun Lintian and said sincerely. "I hope you can help Qingyi when he faces trouble in the future."
Yun Lintian seemed to understand why Bai Yun suddenly said this. It seemed sending Bai Qingyi to the academy was a precaution in case the Bai clan was longer there. However, Yun Lintian was puzzled. If Peng Haoye became the principal in the future, how could Bai Qingyi stay here further?… Perhaps, there is a kind of rule that I didn't know, or Bai Yun means to help Bai Qingyi escape. He thought.
"Reassure, Brother Bai. I will help him as much as I can." Yun Lintian replied with a serious expression. He meant what he said.
Bai Yun stared at Yun Lintian for a moment and patted Yun Lintian's shoulders. "Good! With this word of yours, I can finally be at ease." He then looked at the small building and said. "Let's go over there. We need to ask for a carriage."
Bai Yun brought Yun Lintian and Yang Chen to the small building. When a young female receptionist saw Bai Yun, she hurriedly stood up and greeted. "It's been a long time, Senior Brother Bai."
"Little Wen?" Bai Yun was surprised when he saw the young receptionist. She was his former junior sister, Cai Xuwen. A frown appeared on Bai Yun's face as he asked. "That's not right. Why are you here?"
According to his memory, Cai Xuwen was considered a top student of his fraction. Which her qualification, she shouldn't be assigned to do an odd job here. One had to know, being a receptionist at the entrance was the lowest job in the academy.

Yun Lintian secretly observed Cai Xuwen and discovered she was the tenth-level Ruler. How could she become a receptionist here? Was it academy advocated an equality policy? But from Bai Yun's expression, it didn't seem to be the case.
Cai Xuwen smiled wryly. "I was punished by Master."
Bai Yun furrowed his brows, apparently thinking of something. A moment later, he asked. "How's Master now?"
Cai Xuwen's complexion turned rigid for a while. She sighed softly as she replied. "Master's health is not good recently. I tried to make him drink medicine, but he kept refusing. In the end, I was sent here."
"That stubborn old man." Bai Yun shook his head helplessly when thinking of his master.
Yun Lintian hesitated briefly and decided to ask. "This Senior, can you tell me about his condition? Perhaps, I have a way to help him."
His words attracted Cai Xuwen's attention as she turned to him with a frown.
Bai Yun hurriedly introduced. "This is my little brother and his friend. His name is Yun Lintian. And this is Yang Chen. I bring them here to visit the academy and let them familiarize themselves."
Cai Xuwen nodded, and the frown on her face disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile. "Since you're Senior Brother Bai's little brother, you can call me Sister Cai as well."
"Sister Cai." Yun Lintian called out politely.
"Are you perhaps studying medical profound art?" Cai Xuwen asked.
Yun Lintian nodded with a confident smile. "This junior has studied medical profound art since young. It can be said medical profound art is my primary art."
Both Bai Yun and Cai Xuwen were surprised by Yun Lintian's confidence. Especially Bai Yun. He had witnessed Yun Lintian's battle prowess before, and now Yun Lintian actually claimed his medical profound art was his primary art. How powerful his medical skill would be?
Thinking of this, Bai Yun said to Cai Xuwen. "Little Wen, you can tell him about Master's condition. Anyway, there is no harm."
Cai Xuwen thought for a moment and nodded her head. She turned to Yun Lintian and said. "My Master had suffered countless heavy injuries. There were several times when his entire body was nearly destroyed, and his organs were severely ruptured. Every time, he could always recover from these injuries." She paused for a moment and continued. "Sixty years ago, he suffered almost the same injuries he previously had, but this time, his wounds could not be recovered, and there was a sign of organs failure. However, despite that, his vitality wasn't declining at all. This made everyone puzzle until now."

8 164Advent of the Mindfire Mage: A Challenger's Return Story
Updates MWF, 6PM EST! Not so long ago, a story was posted on Webnovel, one that fired my imagination unlike almost anything before or since. It was known as The Challenger's Return: Rebirth of the Rainbow Mage. However, 150 chapters in, the author NightWind, who I'd personally interacted with and begun to consider a true friend, vanished from the internet without a trace. And so, I have acted upon my fervent desire to pick up his torch, to refuse to let his world that stirred such passion in me die. Read below about my own take on The Challenger's Return. Was Lheticus summoned to the Tower by chance, or by choice? Either way, with the new power he wins, he won't hesitate to burn anyone who seeks to keep him from his true love to cinders, and with a unique ability of the highest potential, he may just succeed, but he's just as likely to burn himself down. And as it turns out, the latter case may be woven into his very destiny...can that destiny be changed? And if it is, what will be the repercussions for the Tower? (You may want to read a fair amount of the original Challenger's Return before starting this, as, particularly in the early chapters, many things that are laid out in it are glossed over in this story.)
