Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1021: Holy Kirin Continent, Mist Kirin

Truthfully, Ye Yun possessed an overwhelmingly vast collection of divine and cultivation techniques within his vault, so numerous that he couldn't possibly cultivate them all. Consequently, the Hand of Heaven’s Control held little allure for him.

However.

The unexpected manifestation of a mysterious, cloaked figure who confidently proposed a single condition piqued Ye Yun’s curiosity.

Who was this enigmatic figure? What legacy did this inheritance entail?

Deep within, Ye Yun harbored doubts about the pronouncements of those robed individuals from the You Tian Mo Clan.

This location scarcely resembled a place where a formidable member of the You Tian Mo Clan met their end.

Particularly the peculiar gray stone, which bore the semblance of a demon beast’s bone, planted seeds of suspicion in Ye Yun’s mind.

If it truly belonged to a demon beast—

Perplexingly, Ye Yun found no sign of its deceased form anywhere in the vicinity.

The mysterious green apparition was likely the residual obsession of the departed demon beast, and Ye Yun surmised that his own breakthrough might well originate from this very figure.

It was this conviction that prompted his agreement to the entity’s plea.

"Excellent, truly excellent! I perceive you to be a person of integrity!"

The green figure proclaimed with a resonant voice.

"Isn't that plainly evident?"

Ye Yun retorted, a hint of mockery lacing his tone as he raised an eyebrow.

The green figure fell silent, its form undergoing a subtle transformation. Wisps of green mist swirled continuously, coalescing over several seconds into the shape of an oddly formed, four-legged beast.

This quadruped bore antlers, scales reminiscent of a Kylin, and the tail of an ox.

Ye Yun observed it intently, a flicker of bewilderment crossing his features.

This mist-formed beast, in its peculiar configuration, bore an uncanny resemblance to the auspicious Kylin he had glimpsed before his transmigration.

"Kylin... Does such a creature still exist in this Divine Land?"

Ye Yun mused internally.

On the Cangnan Continent, Kylins were non-existent.

Even the cultivators there had never encountered legends of such beings.

Furthermore, through the memories inherited from the Supreme God Sovereign, Ye Yun had found no mention of Kylins within the annals of the Divine Land.

Ye Yun recalled You Yue Yi once mentioning the existence of three primordial races in ages past: Dragon, Phoenix, and Kylin.

Yet, throughout his time in both the Divine Land and Cangnan, he had neither seen nor heard any accounts of Kylins, leading him to believe they were merely mythical beasts of a bygone era.

"Have you ever encountered the Holy Kylin Continent?"

The verdant Kylin suddenly inquired.

Ye Yun shook his head. "Holy Kylin Continent? I’ve never heard of it!"

He genuinely possessed no knowledge of this purported Holy Kylin Continent.

The phrase "Holy Kylin" seemed to trigger a nascent understanding within Ye Yun.

The green Kylin slowly elaborated, "The Holy Kylin Continent lies adjacent to the Divine Land, though the two realms are vastly separated and previously lacked any direct connection. Without the might of the God Emperor Realm, traversing between them is exceedingly difficult."

Ye Yun’s eyes gleamed with burgeoning curiosity as he pressed, "I see. And what manner of demon beast are you?"

Though he recognized it as a Kylin, Ye Yun refrained from revealing his knowledge, electing to hear the creature’s own account.

"My true form is the Mist Kylin, also known as the Control Heaven Kylin. I perished over ten million years ago. What you behold now is merely a wisp of my lingering obsession..."

The Mist Kylin sighed mournfully.

"You have clung to this fragment of obsession for an immense duration..."

Ye Yun commented softly.

"Fortunately, this seal protected me; otherwise, this sliver of my consciousness would have long since faded. In that regard, perhaps I owe a debt of gratitude to the You Tian Mo Clan..."

The Mist Kylin offered a wry smile.

"For what reason did the You Tian Mo Clan imprison you?"

Ye Yun inquired.

"They discovered my remains and employed a clandestine technique to petrify my corpse, thereby sealing it completely to serve as a vessel for incubating the Sky Controlling Vessel..."

The Mist Kylin explained.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun perceived an indescribable melancholy clouding the Mist Kylin’s ethereal eyes.

To be exploited even in death.

A truly tragic fate.

Ye Yun let out a sigh, a measure of sympathy stirring within him.

He harbored a natural affinity and certain predilection for Kylins.

In his previous world as well, Kylins were revered as symbols of good fortune.

"The Hand of Heaven’s Control you bear is incomplete, missing a crucial component. Should you wish to cultivate it, you must journey to the Control Heaven Sect on the Holy Kylin Continent and retrieve my physical remains. As a token of their gratitude, they will undoubtedly impart the missing fragment of the inheritance to you!"

The Mist Kylin continued its solemn pronouncement.

"In truth, I hold no interest in this so-called Hand of Heaven’s Control, nor do I harbor any intention of cultivating it. Therefore, please do not harbor any misplaced hopes regarding me!"

Ye Yun stated with a gentle smile.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing Ye Yun’s declaration, a profound sadness filled the Mist Kylin’s gaze.

Its final flicker of hope had been extinguished.

"However, since I’ve already made a promise to you, I will naturally agree to this condition to obtain the inheritance right now!"

Ye Yun continued speaking.

This drawn-out anticipation was quite a torment for Mist Kirin.

The reason Ye Yun agreed was naturally to see what the Holy Kirin Continent was like.

There are no records of Kylins in either the Divine Land or the Hidden Dragon Continent, yet a Mist Kirin appears, speaking of a continent where Kylins reside, naturally igniting his desire for exploration.

In his heart,

Ye Yun harbored a very peculiar thought.

Previously, Dragon Xuan had mentioned a journey to a new world, incredibly distant from the Divine Land, to Ao Xue.

Ye Yun formed a hypothesis.

This so-called new world might very well be the Holy Kirin Continent.

If Dragon Xuan had established the Dragon God Sect on the Holy Kirin Continent, it would indeed be an amusing turn of events.

For these two reasons, Ye Yun would not refuse Mist Kirin’s condition.

"Then, thank you. Being able to return to the Holy Kirin Continent after death is something I never dared to dream of!"

Mist Kirin spoke with great excitement.

Ye Yun smiled, his gaze settling upon Mist Kirin, observing the mist that continuously surged and scattered outwards.

It seemed this lingering obsession could not persist much longer and was on the verge of dissipating.

"Why did you meet your end in the Divine Land back then?"

Ye Yun suddenly inquired.

"At that time, I was also following orders from Lord Shiqilin, passing through the Divine Land on my way to the Hidden Dragon Continent to meet Ancestor Dragon and deliver a message; unexpectedly, I was ambushed and killed here..."

Mist Kirin sighed mournfully.

"Shiqilin?"

Ye Yun's brow furrowed; the name sounded remarkably familiar.

In the Primordial World, the leaders of the three ancestral clans were Ancestor Dragon, Prime Phoenix, and Shiqilin.

Could it be that the title was similar in this world as well?

"On the Holy Kirin Continent, thousands of the Qilin Clan reside, and the leader of our Qilin Clan is Lord Shiqilin, holding the same status as Lord Ancestor Dragon of the Hidden Dragon Continent..."

Mist Kirin offered an explanation.

"Oh, and is Lord Feng also present?"

Ye Yun inquired with a smile.

"Indeed, beyond the Divine Land exist three worlds: the Hidden Dragon Continent, the Holy Kirin Continent, and the Fengyi Continent, where the leader of the Phoenix Clan on Fengyi Continent is Sir Feng."

Mist Kirin looked earnestly at Ye Yun, his voice deep.

"My guess has turned out to be exactly correct..."

Ye Yun nodded, a profound interest gleaming in his eyes.
