Myth Beyond Heaven Chapter 30 -Blazing Sun Monarch

The passageway led Yun Lintian and the rat down to another open space. Along the way, he carefully checked the surroundings in case there was a trap. To his surprise, there was no danger around here.

The open area was like a living room with three iron doors connected to other rooms. On each door, there was a sun symbol engraved on it. Yun Lintian’s mind subconsciously connected this to the name of the mythical realm instantly. He was certain this place contained a secret of the Blazing Sun Mythical Realm. ​​

He turned to the rat and asked, “Are you alone here?”

The rat tilted its head slightly before giving a nod in reply.

Yun Lintian stared at the rat for a while as he pondered… This rat has red furs and there is a sun here. Don’t tell me it has a connection with this place?

As a veteran novel reader, of course, he was familiar with this kind of encounter. A mysterious creature that could come and go freely in this kind of secret place. He didn’t need to find any information around here to confirm his thoughts at all, because he was almost a hundred percent certain there was a relationship between the rat and this place.

“What are those doors?” Yun Lintian asked.

“Squeak!” The rat squeak once and moved to the door on the right side. With a tap, the iron door automatically opened and the rat quickly walked into the room, followed by Yun Lintian.

“This…” Even though he had already expected this, Yun Lintian was still shocked by the scene in front of him.

This was a hundred-square-meter room made of exquisite marbles. On the ground, there were several Middle-grade Profound Stone piled up into a small mountain. There were also many unknown treasures lying quietly on the shelves nearby the walls. From weapons to unidentified jade bottles, everything was covered with dust, evidently, there was no one except for the rat, had visited here for who knows how long.

Yun Lintian had seen every treasure in the Misty Cloud Sect’s treasury before and he was sure their values couldn’t be compared to the items in this room… First Celestial Buddha Lotus, and now these treasures. My luck is surely on a par with the protagonist in the novels. Yun Lintian wanted to kneel down and shouted ‘awesome’ to the Goddess of Luck immediately.

After calming down, Yun Lintian turned to the rat with a trace of embarrassment. “Erm… Can I take away all of this?” He asked shamelessly.

“Squeak?” The rat tilted its head cutely once again, appeared as if it didn’t understand Yun Lintian’s words.

Yun Lintian was speechless… Are you playing dumb now? He moved to the shelf on his left side and picked a small knife up. He blew the dust off before inspecting it. The knife had two sharp edges, suitable for being used as a stabbing weapon. Except for the complicated pattern on its hilt, its design resembled the typical combat knife on Earth.

In Azure World, treasures were classified into ten ranks similar to profound strength. It started with the Foundation rank, Essence rank, Spirit rank, all the way until the Divine rank. Yun Lintian had seen the Divine rank’s weapon before. It was the Misty Cloud Sect’s weapon, the Misty Cloud Divine Sword, which currently within Yun Qianxue’s hands. Judging from its appearance, the knife in Yun Lintian’s hand should be at least the Origin rank.

Yun Lintian felt a trace of familiarity with this knife. It wasn’t because there was a mysterious connection between him and the knife, but rather he was proficient with this weapon. After all, it was his second main weapon besides a gun during his time on Earth.

He skillfully stabbing and thrusting for a few times before he put it back on the shelf and moved to another treasure. Aside from weapons and some well-preserved medicinal herbs, these unidentified pills in the jade bottles were already expired. Yun Lintian spent more than an hour checking on these treasures and he finally couldn’t help but ask the rat once again. “Can I take away all of them? I will give you all my food. How about it? A good deal, right?”

“Squeak!” The rat seemed to ponder for a moment before giving a nod in reply.

A greedy smile bloomed on Yun Lintian’s lips as he hastily stored everything into his interspatial ring for fear the rat would change its mind.

The rat looked at its treasures slowly disappeared one by one with heartache. However, when it thinking of the steak earlier, all the rationale was thrown away instantly.

Yun Lintian patted the dust off his hands and turned to the rat. “Are there any other treasures? Why don’t you bring me to see it?”

The rat rolled its eyes at this greedy bastard. It somehow began to regret it.

Yun Lintian laughed slightly. He felt like he was an adult trying to cheat for something from a five-year-old kid. Nevertheless, he didn’t feel guilty at all. These treasures might be found by others one day anyway. Why should he leave them for others?

He took out a portion of jerky and handed it to the rat. Yun Lintian felt that he needed to encourage the rat a bit. This encouragement was obviously worked as the rat’s eyes lit up and snatched the jerky from his hand in a flash.

“How about it? You can have all my food right away if you bring me to see the other two rooms.” Yun Lintian seduced the rat with a greedy grin.

“Squeak!” The rat responded almost instantly and ran out of the room with the jerky on its back, heading toward the opposite door.

Yun Lintian almost couldn’t hold his laughter while following the rat into the room.

Upon arriving at the room, Yun Lintian frowned slightly because this room was clearly a bedroom. It was decorated with a simple bed that was covered with dust, and a small wooden desk, and a chair on the side.

The rat looked at Yun Lintian with its big eyes, as if it told him, “I already brought you here. Now, quickly take your food out.”

Yun Lintian was amused by its adorable appearance. This time, he gave the rat a big chunk of jerky without hesitation.

While the rat was busy exploring the food, Yun Lintian went to the desk and picked a worn-out book up. He brushed the dust off and opened the first page.

“A thousand years have passed by now. I don’t know how long I have to guard this place. I don’t understand why that person wanted me to do this. In my view, this is clearly a pointless action.” 𝑅ead latest ch𝒂pters at n𝒐velbi𝒏(.)co/m

The first paragraph made Yun Lintian’s brows creased together. The image of the statue above the ground flashed across his mind as he suspected the man was the one who wrote this… Who is this man? Also, who is ‘that person’ he talking about? Yun Lintian was confused. He continued to read further.

“During this period, I have tried my best to unravel the secret behind [The Sun] but I found nothing as a result. Alas, apparently, it is true as that person said, only ‘he’ could control it. I don’t know how long I have to wait until ‘he’ appeared here.”

The more Yun Lintian read, the more confused he became. Yun Lintian continued to read further, but he didn’t find anything useful besides the writer’s lament. This was nothing different from Yun Lintian’s ranting diary.

He flipped through page after page until he reached the last page. Yun Lintian saw a piece of interesting information at the bottom of the page.

“My lifespan is about to reach the end tonight. I never thought one day, the famous Blazing Sun Monarch would die like this. Do I have any regret? The answer is probably yes. Even though I have to stay here for thousands of years, I don’t complain about it.”

Reading to this point, Yun Lintian rolled his eyes… Don’t complain? All I see is your complaint on every page. You still have the face to say you don’t complain about it? He thought and continued to read further.

“My only regret is I won’t have a chance to see that person’s face again… Hahaha, Yan Qi, you are such a sore loser. You are the Blazing Sun Monarch, but you are willing to follow that person’s unreasonable request. What are you thinking about back then? You are stupid enough to die because of that person. What a tragic end for you.”

The diary ended here. Yun Lintian was amazed by the last paragraph… Who is ‘that person’ exactly? To make this Blazing Sun Monarch stay here obediently and died out of old age. More importantly, this guy did it unconditionally. If his sexual orientation is normal, ‘that person’ should be a woman. Hah, this guy is practically a licking dog on Earth.

What were profound practitioners cherished the most? It was their life. They had practiced the profound ways to go against the sky, to go against the unchangeable rules, achieving immortality, and became the master of their own fates. However, this Yan Qi had practically thrown away his life just like that. This action made Yun Lintian fell into deep thought for a long time.

“Squeak?” The rat seemed to notice the change in Yun Lintian’s mood. It put the jerky down on the ground and came to his side.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and turned to the rat. “Do you know where is The Sun? Can you bring me there?”

The rat was confused and shook its head, indicating it didn’t know about the so-called The Sun, causing Yun Lintian to give up on this matter in the end.

“What about the last door?” Yun Lintian changed the topic.

The rat nibbled the jerky while staring at Yun Lintian pitifully. Yun Lintian chuckled and gave another portion of jerky to it. However, this time, the rat accepted it but didn’t move away as it did before; instead, it continued to stare at Yun Lintian.

“Alright. You gluttonous.” This time Yun Lintian handed all the jerky to the rat.

The rat was happy and carefully organized its own food by putting them at the corner of the room before pulling the quilt nearby to cover it.

“Hey, no one will steal it from you. You don’t have to hide it.” Yun Lintian was amused.

The rat flashed its sharp teeth at Yun Lintian before running out of the room, heading to the last door in the middle. Yun Lintian shook his head amusingly and followed it out.
