《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 67: Skyfall Nation
Advertisement
An hour later, Yun Lintian's injuries were all recovered. He clenched his fists, adapting to his newly gained power with excitement.
"Congratulations." Yun Qianxue's voice rang out from behind. Currently, her strength had already reached the sixth level of Essence Profound Realm thanks to almost unlimited High-grade Profound Stones at the bottom of the Profound Spirit Lake.
Yun Lintian smiled back at her. "Thank you. I think I can go out now. We have delayed it for a month."
Yun Qianxue nodded her head. The seven pagodas' construction had halted the process for two months now because of a material shortage. The food supply had also run out. There were only ordinary vegetables left.
To body refining practitioners, they needed more nutrition from both spirit plant and Profound Beast's meat as their appetite grew bigger along with their strength. Since an ordinary vegetable they had grown within the Land of Beyond Heaven was useless for Yun Lintian and the rest, he decided to go out today.
It had been almost three months since everyone secluded themselves within this place. They had no idea what was going on around the outside world. It was inevitable they needed more preparation before going out.
In the villa's living room, Yun Lintian sat on the sofa with Yun Qianxue, Yun Ruanyu, and Yun Huanxin on his side. While Yun Qingrou, Yun Meilan, and Yun Lingwei sat separately on a smaller sofa. Except for Yun Lintian and Yun Huanxin, who hadn't transformed her Profound Vein, everyone had already reached the Essence Profound Realm.
"Right now, we are in the perimeter of the Skyfall Nation." Yun Ruanyu pointed at a simple map on a small table before everyone. She dragged her finger to the north direction and stopped at a town symbol as she said, "We need to travel around two thousand kilometers north to reach this Green Leaf Town. This town is one of the biggest food suppliers in the Skyfall Nation. We should be able to find a supply here."

"Skyfall Nation…" Yun Lintian heard about this nation before. It was said the ruler was a woman with extremely high talent in both music sorcery, and sword art.
"The Skyfall Royal Clan used to have a good relationship with our sect. However, as time passing by, our relationship gradually falling apart. In the past hundred years, they never interacted with us again." Yun Qianxue explained.
As a former sect master, she knew more than a newly appointed sect master like Yun Lintian. She did not surprise at the Skyfall Royal Clan's action of distancing themselves since the Misty Cloud Sect had significantly inclined. They simply viewed the sect as unworthy of befriending.
Although Yun Qianxue understood this was common in the relationship between two forces, she still got angry whenever she thought about it. To her, this was a simply humiliation, and she could not accept it. It was just that even her strength at that time was useless to do anything.
Yun Lintian perceived the boiling anger in Yun Qianxue. He reached out to hold her hand and said with a confident smile, "You don't have to be angry. We are different now. Given us another five years, they would become nothing in our eyes."
Seeing his confident smile, Yun Qianxue's anger gradually subsided. She returned him with a faint smile and said. "You're right. We're now different from the past."
Watching these two spreading their sweet moment, Yun Lingwei smirked and was about to tease them. Suddenly, she felt a chill running down her spine as she saw Yun Qianxue's sharp gaze swept at her, rendering her to shut her mouth tightly.
Yun Ruanyu didn't bother about their small interaction. She said further, "It is currently a winter outside. People in Green Leaf Town naturally cannot grow a plant at the moment. If we want to buy a sizeable amount of food in one go, it will undoubtedly attract unnecessary problems. But buying a seed should be fine."

Yun Lintian nodded in agreement, and buying a spirit plant's seed was his original intention. He said, "There are two major problems. First, we have to find a way to get a steady stream of Profound Beast's meat. Of course, we can hunt them by ourselves, but it will increase the risk of exposing our secrets. Unless we can find a no-man land full with Profound Beast."
"Second problem. We need a tremendous amount of necessary items such as beds and clothes. I know everyone can sleep on a plain Heavenly Sandalwood bed or even a hard floor, but I want everyone to have the best living environment. Whether it is food or cloth, everyone should use the best of the best."
Listening to Yun Lintian's words, everyone was moved. The Misty Cloud Sect might be harmonious, but they could not deny that the higher talented one would get more resources than others. They could not simply divide everything equally to everyone as Yun Lintian did.
Even though Yun Lintian could achieve this ideal approach because of the Land of Beyond Heaven. Yun Qianxue and the rest could not guarantee they could be as generous as Yun Lintian.
"We should cultivate a silkworm by ourselves too. However, finding a top silkworm like the Snow Wind Silkworm around this place is rather difficult. Unless we are entering the Frozen Moon Palace's territory." Yun Qingrou expressed her opinion. Aside from alchemy, she was interested in cloth designing. The current Misty Cloud Sect's uniform was the result of her design.
"We should get the Fragrant Cow too. I want to make butter and cheese." Yun Lingwei chimed in and subconsciously licked her lips slightly as she thought of the delicious cheese she had experienced during these past months. Sadly, they had been long emptied by her.
Yun Lintian chuckled amusingly. The Azure World was relatively backward in terms of culinary methods. Despite there were plenty of heavenly ingredients, the variety of dishes were too low. It was natural that the gluttonous Yun Lingwei would attract by the Earth's cuisine.
"Alright, we will get all of them." Yun Lintian accepted everyone's proposal. "So who wants to go out with Huanxin and me?"
Everyone turned their head to Yun Qianxue. The answer was clear as day. Even they wanted to go, Yun Qianxue might disagree with them.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.

Fortuna Verto
A girl’s luck changes when her world changes upon itself, sending her back and forth between a world she knows and another that shouldn’t even exist. Working with her parallel self from that other world, the two must adjust to their alternate form when visiting the other’s world, as they search for a way to escape the chains of misfortune they are bound to. While this story is the conclusion of the trilogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, as the world of Celese itself is no longer a place the characters will be journeying through. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for all previous books, in case that matters to anyone. This book has an additional chapter after the final chapter that represents the trilogy conclusion, and should not be read until all three books are read first. Fortuna Verto continues the events of Essentia Animus to advance society into a sci-fi interpretation of Celese, bringing events to a distant world of another star. At the same time, events interpret a real-world advancement into a similar sci-fi age of another planet that shares Earth’s galaxy, a planet that has also been linked by the Celesi Veil. English remains predominant in both worlds of the story, but the presence of both sides makes certain Aethyx terms stand out, while Earth-styled scientific terms will also stand in a powerful contrast. Instrumentation remains an important aspect of the Elemental Era, but the influence of the gift has grown distant after discovering the superiority of the elements. Harnessing the elements had eliminated some of the original limitations of instrumentation, allowing for a self-sustaining focal source that provides solutions to problems such as automation. This turns the development available from the previous modern-day sense of a fantasy to one that is deep-future. Finally, opening access to the passage across the veil will open this progress in comparison to a very similar deep-future parallel world without such fantasy elements, contrasting the laws of physics with the laws of elements in a convergence of time and space.
