Chapter 234: Legend of Heavenly Sword

Name:Myth Beyond Heaven Author:
So… This Moonlight Hall Master is picky. Why did Hong Wuya and Bai Yun keep saying she's suitable for me then? Yun Lintian thought. 

At first, Yun Lintian thought it was a good idea to enter the Moonlight Hall because he would certainly get a recommendation for Frozen Moon Mythical Realm. After all, there were only five students, and all of them were likely to surpass Origin Profound Realm already. If he could join this hall, he would be the one and only who qualified to participate in the mythical realm.

Now, Yun Lintian did not think so. He wasn't sure whether he would be selected by Moonlight Hall Master. It would be better to look for other options.

"It's only that. These five students are all female." Cai Xuwen added.

"All female?… I seem to have no chance now." Yun Lintian was surprised and then smiled wryly. Right now, he was certain his chance to enter the Moonlight Hall was equal to zero. As someone hailed from the all-female sect, Yun Lintian understood well that adding a male into the sect would disrupt the sect's order and atmosphere… Of course, he himself was an exception… Hehe.

"It's not necessarily true. There was a time she was ready to accept a certain male student, but that man actually rejected her in the end." Bai Yun said with a cold expression. He pointed at the second place's name on the stele. "It's him."

Yun Lintian turned to look at the second place's name again and saw "Wang Jun" words engraved on it. 

"Wang Jun is an extremely arrogant person, but he has the ability to back up his arrogance. Back then, he pretended to choose Moonlight Hall and later rejected Moonlight Hall Master when she was ready to accept him. He even arrogantly said she didn't deserve to be his master. In the end, he chose to enter the Supreme Hall." Bai Yun seemed to have a history with this person as Yun Lintian could see a trace of killing intent within his eyes.

Tsk, is this Wang guy a true villain in this academy arc? Yun Lintian was amused by his nonsensical thoughts. 

"But he didn't seem to be that talented when compared to Senior Jiang Yingyue, right?" Yun Lintian saw Wang Jun used a lot of time to clear the forest maze.

"You're wrong. In fact, his talent is no worse than Jiang Yingyue's, but it is because of the suppression of his bloodline, he has to pay a considerate prize in order to display his true strength." Bai Yun shook his head.

"Bloodline?" This was the first time Yun Lintian heard about this. A human with a unique bloodline was scarce. At least, Yun Lintian had never met one before and never heard about it as well.

"His background is not ordinary. He is someone from the Wang clan of the Central Continent. Wang clan's unique bloodline is called King Bloodline. I know little about it. When he uses it, everyone with strength below or equal to him would be totally suppressed. Their strength would drop by two or three levels." Bai Yun explained with a serious expression. He once faced Wang Jun before and was suppressed by him to the point he couldn't even lift his head.

"King Bloodline? What an overbearing bloodline." Yun Lintian found it interesting. A bloodline with the ability to suppress others was quite unique. He wondered whether his plot armor could go against it.

"By the way, Brother Bai said he comes from the Wang clan of Central Continent? Why did he come here? Wouldn't it be better to join the academy over there?" Yun Lintian was puzzled. Perhaps this Wang Jun was an average practitioner in Central Continent and wanted to find an easy route by coming here to a weaker continent?

"It's because of Heavenly Sword Summit's quota." Cai Xuwen took the initiative to explain on Bai Yun's behalf.

"Heavenly Sword Summit? What is that?" Yun Lintian was even more confused. "Is it something related to Heavenly Sword Palace?"

"That's right. The Heavenly Sword Summit is a major event organized by Heavenly Sword Palace. Every hundred years, they would invite a talented individual all over the world to participate in this event. However, the quota is limited, and our Northern Sky Throne Profound Academy has only ten quotas. I think you should understand by now why Wang Jun came here." Cai Xuwen said.

Yun Lintian nodded his head slowly. "Basically, he was sent here by his clan to snatch the quota." 

"Senior Sister Cai, what's exactly this event about?" Yang Chen asked curiously. As a sword practitioner, he naturally heard about Heavenly Sword Palace before. Since it was the event organized by Heavenly Sword Palace, it was definitely related to a sword.

Cai Xuwen looked at Yang Chen for a while and replied. "You are a sword practitioner. No wonder your aura is so sharp… Have you ever heard about the legend of Heavenly Sword?" Seeing both Yun Lintian and Yang Chen shaking their heads, Cai Xuwen continued. "Legend said that one day at the beginning of Azure World, there was a sword descended from the sky and pierced onto the tallest peak in the world that later known as Heavenly Sword Summit. The impact caused the original one huge continent to break into the five continents that we know today."

"Azure Monarch, who was the most powerful person in the world back then, had tried to pull the Heavenly Sword out from the summit. However, no matter how he tried, he couldn't even make it move an inch. He later understood it wasn't because he wasn't strong enough, but rather the sword was waiting for its true owner. Since then, Heavenly Sword Palace was born."

Yun Lintian and Yang Chen were stunned for a while. They didn't expect a single sword could actually divide the continent into five. How powerful was that? This was the first time they learned about this. They always thought there were five continents from the beginning.

"So they want to find someone who can pull the sword out?" Yun Lintian seemed to understand the purpose of Heavenly Sword Summit. At the same time, he was curious why they needed to limit people. Wouldn't it be better to let everyone try it? Who knows, there might be a son of destiny appear among a commoner.
