Myth Beyond Heaven

1959 Pandemic

"Give me legs?" Lei Hao stared, stunned.

Yun Lintian retrieved the Fruit of Immortality and presented it to Lei Hao. "Take this."

Lei Hao examined the exotic fruit radiating a strange aura. He reached out cautiously to receive it. Glancing at Yun Lintian for confirmation, he took a bite.

The moment the fruit touched his tongue, a warm current surged through Lei Hao's body. It was incredibly comforting.

Yun Lintian placed a hand on Lei Hao's head, activating the crown's power to transform his profound vein.

Moments later, Lei Hao's legs gradually grew back, and his appearance reverted several years, making him look younger.

"Unbelievable..." Lei Hao felt as if he were in a dream. The long-lost sensation of his legs had returned.

"Congratulations," Yun Lintian said with a smile. "You are now a cultivator."

"A cultivator?" Lei Hao echoed, stunned. He rose slowly from the wheelchair, experimenting with his "newborn" body.

He could clearly perceive his newfound strength.

"I'll teach you some profound arts later," Yun Lintian offered. "Do you have any money on you?"

"Money?" Lei Hao stammered, surprised. "Yes, I have some."

As he spoke, he retrieved his mobile phone.

"Let's go!" Nantian Fengyu chirped with excitement. If not for Yun Lintian's warnings, she would have stolen a phone long ago.

Yun Lintian grasped Lei Hao's arm and whisked him to the nearby shopping mall.

"So, this is a movement technique?" Lei Hao gasped in shock, finding himself standing in the mall in the blink of an eye.

"Yes," Yun Lintian replied, surveying the mall. "Why are people wearing masks?"

"There's a pandemic called COVID. It just started three months ago," Lei Hao explained.

"Oh?" Yun Lintian cocked his head slightly. "This is clearly a man-made virus."

"Really? I knew it," Lei Hao agreed readily.

Yun Lintian waved his hand, and instantly, all the COVID viruses vanished from the Earth. "Done."

"Done?" Lei Hao was confused.

"Your brother just eradicated the so-called virus from the world," Nantian Fengyu clarified. "Hurry up, I want to buy a phone."

"You can do that?" Lei Hao stammered, astounded. Yun Lintian's feats continually redefined his understanding of cultivators.

Yun Lintian smiled and strode into the nearby Apple Store. After purchasing an iPhone 11 Pro for Nantian Fengyu, the group set off to find a restaurant.

"It's not delicious at all," Qingqing pouted as she expertly grilled a piece of beef.

"Naturally, with such ordinary ingredients," Yun Lintian replied gently.

"Boss..." Lei Hao began cautiously. "Have you met Sister Yang and Sister Lynn?"

He couldn't understand Yun Lintian's calm demeanor, the lack of urgency.

Yun Lintian placed his chopsticks down. "I've already located them with my spiritual sense. I'll meet with them later."

The moment he arrived on Earth, Yun Lintian immediately pinpointed Lynn and Yang Ningchang through his spiritual sense. Their situations weren't ideal, but they weren't in immediate danger. He would meet them after dealing with Zhu Ding.

Lei Hao observed Yun Lintian silently. He suspected there was more to the story. Yun Lintian likely harbored internal guilt and wasn't sure how to face them.

"Where to next?" Lei Hao inquired.

"Let's start with Uncle Xu," Yun Lintian decided. "With my current strength, eliminating Zhu Tianlong and his family would be a matter of raising my hand. However, death is too merciful for them."

"You're right, Boss. Killing them would be a kindness," Lei Hao agreed, a hint of anger flickering in his voice.

Yun Lintian waved his hand, and in an instant, everyone materialized in a traditional Chinese courtyard in Beijing.

"Who are you!?"

Immediately, a contingent of soldiers swarmed them, aiming their pistols at Yun Lintian's group. They couldn't understand how Yun Lintian's group appeared here unnoticed.

Yun Lintian glanced at them and said, "I'm here to see Commander Xu. Tell him my name is Yun Lintian."

Yun Lintian aimed for a polite approach, avoiding unnecessary trouble with these diligent soldiers. They were simply following orders and weren't involved in the Zhu family conflict.

The soldiers exchanged uncertain glances.

A middle-aged man, seemingly the leader, stepped forward. "I'm sorry, but we've been instructed to deny all visitors. Please leave."

As a seasoned soldier, he recognized Yun Lintian's extreme danger. However, disobeying orders wasn't an option.

"Very well," Yun Lintian acknowledged with a slight nod. He then released a wisp of profound energy.

Thud!

All the soldiers around the courtyard instantaneously collapsed unconscious.

Lei Hao gulped nervously at the scene. Ordinary people were powerless against cultivators.

"Can I do that someday, Boss?" he asked hopefully.

"Certainly. Even beginners can manage that." Yun Lintian chuckled and entered the courtyard.

At that moment, Xu Longfeng sat upright in a pavilion, engrossed in a book.

"It's been a year, and you've aged considerably, Uncle Xu," Yun Lintian spoke as he entered the garden.

Xu Longfeng's expression froze. He slowly raised his head, eyes widening in disbelief. "You… Lintian?"

"It's me," Yun Lintian confirmed, approaching the pavilion.

"Long time no see, Uncle Xu," Lei Hao greeted kindly.

"Your legs…?" Xu Longfeng subconsciously looked at Lei Hao's legs, utterly bewildered.

Ignoring Xu Longfeng's confusion, Yun Lintian sat down opposite him. With a wave of his hand, his own teapot and cups materialized. He then poured tea for everyone.

"Please," Yun Lintian offered, placing the teacup in front of Xu Longfeng.

Xu Longfeng was too preoccupied to care about the tea. He stared intently at Yun Lintian's face, trying to verify his identity. "What's happening? How are you…?"

"It's unimportant. The key point is that I'm alive," Yun Lintian said with a smile, taking a sip of tea.

"What tea is this, Boss?" Lei Hao gasped after taking a sip. He could feel his body strengthening.

"Spirit Tea," Yun Lintian replied.

"Spirit tea?" Lei Hao acknowledged with a nod, continuing to sip the tea with a content expression.

"Let's move on from my situation," Yun Lintian suggested. "Perhaps you could tell me what happened, Uncle Xu?"

Xu Longfeng took a deep breath to compose himself. "Since you're here, I presume you already have an idea. Nonetheless, I'll recount the entire ordeal."

He gently lifted the teacup, about to take a sip, when he paused. "Wait. How did you bring them out of thin air?"

It was only then that Xu Longfeng noticed the oddities. Yun Lintian's group had arrived unharmed, with no sounds of battle.

Yun Lintian simply smiled, offering no explanation.

Xu Longfeng recognized his rudeness. "My bad. I shouldn't have asked. Well, it all began after I submitted Project Eve to my superiors..."
