Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 430
byIn the main hall.
Monks gathered.
Shen Ye stood in the center, sighing with a worried look.
No other way.
The Sect Master had just given a reason for the refusal, and it sounded perfectly legitimate:
“The demonic beasts in the dungeon are the sect’s property, and their treasures also belong to the sect.”
“You must go and find 108 treasures yourself.”
That’s right.
Those demonic beasts originally belonged to the sect; letting Shen Ye use them was already an act of utmost benevolence.
“Right.”
“Before you collect them all, as long as you don’t stream live—”
“I’ll count you as having already collected fifty-four treasures!”
“How about it?”
These were the Sect Master’s original words.
Shen Ye looked around, seeing the eager eyes of the crowd, how could he not understand what everyone was thinking?
Since the number of treasures was halved—
“Okay, I’ll listen to the Sect Master.”
He showed a docile smile.
Sect Master Fu Wangchen was overjoyed, flew over, raised a hand, and touched Shen Ye’s glabella.
“After becoming the Sect Master’s true disciple, you must offer 108 precious treasures to the sect as a sacrificial offering.”
“You still lack fifty-four treasures.”
“Once they are collected, send a fire talisman, and I will send someone to retrieve them; you don’t need to return.”
“Why!” Shen Ye couldn’t help but exclaim.
—I can’t even return to the sect anymore?
“Once the treasures are collected, your next step is to cultivate the ‘Myriad Source Fundamental Divine Power: Cuiwei Mountain Incantation’.”
“—First, cultivate the ‘Myriad Source Fundamental Divine Power: Cuiwei Mountain Incantation’ until you manifest its Dharma Aspect, then you may return to the sect.”
“If you cannot manifest the Dharma Aspect, you are not allowed to stream live! Nor are you allowed to return!”
As he spoke, Shen Ye felt a cultivation technique appear in his sea of consciousness.
It was precisely the Hao Yang Fundamental Divine Incantation!
Shen Ye couldn’t help but feel a little speechless and asked:
“Sect Master, do you really not want me back?”
“Nonsense!”
“Impudence!”
Several elders shouted in unison.
Fu Wangchen spoke sternly, “You brat, you truly don’t know what’s good for you. That precious treasure ceremony will last forty-nine days. If you return to complete the ceremony, wouldn’t it delay your cultivation?”
“We cultivators are different from ordinary people; in our pursuit of the Great Dao, we must seize every moment.”
“Go!”
Before his words finished.
Several elders simultaneously made their move, unleashing a long-distance teleportation technique.
“Go!”
The elders shouted in unison.
Shen Ye saw that something was amiss and quickly said, “Wait, I still don’t know how to cultivate this fundamental incantation; I need guidance and—”
Swish!
Before he could finish his sentence, he had already been teleported away.
The light of teleportation gradually disappeared.
Everyone looked at each other.
For some reason, after this guy’s live broadcast was cut off, and then he was sent away—
The atmosphere suddenly became joyful.
Sect Master Fu Wangchen coughed lightly and said:
“This time, my acceptance of a disciple is different from usual. It’s because I am currently compiling a new Daoist scripture and cannot be disturbed by the live broadcast. Do you understand?”
“Understood!” The response was like a mountain roaring and a sea raging.
“This matter ends here,” the Sect Master said.
“Yes!” Everyone shouted in unison.
The Sect Master then stopped discussing the matter and continued preaching and discussing scriptures.
About an hour later.
The dharma assembly ended.
Everyone retired.
Only the Sect Master remained in the great hall.
He stood alone on the high platform, stroked his beard, and his eyes deepened like the sea.
“Your plan… what exactly is it?”
He murmured.
The void flickered.
The Hao Yang Stone silently appeared before him, slowly rotating non-stop, emitting buzzing sounds that strangely formed a human voice:
“The holders of the three arts, for their selfish desires and interests, established their own factions, guarding against each other, and missed an extremely important opportunity.”
“I am disappointed.”
As the voice fell.
The Hao Yang Stone silently disappeared from before Fu Wangchen.
On the other side.
In some random, secluded deep mountains.
Shen Ye landed on the branch of a towering tree.
This really is…
A single incantation and a 50% discount on the number of treasures bought him off?
And he’s not even allowed to live stream!
First, let’s see if this incantation of yours is up to par. If you’re just perfunctorily dealing with me, then I won’t stand for it!
Shen Ye’s mind stirred, immediately activating the mythical term “Fate’s Tool.”
A profile of the Myriad Source Fundamental Divine Power: Cuiwei Mountain Incantation quietly emerged:
“The echo between mountains is the beginning of awakening;
You, who bear the name of Mountain God, if you wish to reach the other shore, must sincerely chant this incantation;
Its unrivaled power exists in every present chant;
The power you expect, desire, and seek bursts forth from here;
However, what you do not know is—
The law of fate dares not make a prediction about what will happen next.”
Shen Ye was stunned.
—The mythical term “Fate’s Tool” had always been very effective.
It often provided useful information.
But.
This time.
It only said that the Myriad Source Fundamental Divine Power: Cuiwei Mountain Incantation was worth cultivating.
It said nothing else!
Why was that!
Shen Ye couldn’t figure it out, so he decided to stop thinking about it.
He looked up at the new term:
“Demon Subduing Mountain God.”
“Seed-type term, combat term, blue level.”
“Description: Enemies you fight will be suppressed by the Demon Subduing Power, their vitality becoming extremely fragile, and they will be injured with every attack.”
“—Hao Yang Celestial Palace Righteous Law Term.”
“Furthermore:”
“With the power of the Myriad Source Fundamental Divine Power: Cuiwei Mountain Incantation, this term can be decomposed into several special rules, used to construct corresponding Dharma Aspects.”
—The incantation can even drive changes in terms.
Quite powerful!
Then cultivate it.
Shen Ye closed his eyes slightly, silently chanted the incantation, and began to comprehend its mysteries.
Time slowly passed.
At first, Shen Ye often stopped to eat something, drink water, use the restroom, and so on.
But as the days of chanting deepened.
He gradually entered a state of self-forgetfulness.
Days passed.
He sat motionless on the large tree.
Leaves turned yellow, withered, and fell.
Wind and snow arrived.
Heavy snow covered the entire forest.
The snow melted.
Winter thunder roared, spring rains arrived, new branches sprouted.
Shen Ye immersed himself in the incantation, completely oblivious to the passage of time.
The Formless Heavenly Demon Saint King and the Great Skeleton Failun patiently guarded him.
Until the night of summer when countless stars appeared.
In the void.
Faint light transformed into lines of small characters, quietly appearing:
“The divine incantation has refined the term ‘Demon Subduing Mountain God,’ re-manifesting outlines with decomposed rules, forming a nascent Dharma Aspect:”
“Sky Shaking Divine Mountain.”
“You are the owner of an Immortal Kingdom Dharma Aspect, and within it, the Blood Moon and Soul Palace Dharma Aspects of the Heavenly Art and Tongtian Art have merged.”
“Divine Mountain, Blood Moon, Soul Palace are now gathered.”
“The Sky Shaking Divine Mountain will merge into your Immortal Kingdom Dharma Aspect ‘Supreme Yi Life-Extending Suffering-Saving Dream Divine Palace’.”
“Merging begins.”
All the small characters disappeared.
The next instant.
Several lines of vivid red characters quietly appeared:
“Warning!”
“An unknown event is about to occur!”
“This is something that all living beings and myriad things cannot touch!”
“You must buy time, wait for the Dharma Aspect to complete its fusion, and then you can break free from the unknown event!”
“—Please buy time!”
Shen Ye opened his eyes, looking blankly at these prompts.
Yes.
Why hadn’t he thought of this?
The Dharma Aspects of the Tongtian Art, Heavenly Art, and Sky Shaking Art were all gathered!
But what if the Dharma Aspects were gathered?
Why would an unknowable event occur?
Suddenly.
A voice sounded in his ear:
“Finally, a living being has reached this stage, and it’s not in vain that I have endured all suffering and clung to life until now.”
Creator Chaluk!
Shen Ye’s heart trembled, and he was about to speak, but the other party continued:
“We don’t have much time; you must listen carefully to me.”
The Creator’s voice became urgent and clear:
“Later, you will see four corpses.”
“The female corpse in the blood-red robe with long hair is me.”
“Carrying my corpse on your back is the only way they won’t sense you.”
“Remember two points:”
“First, do not stay in places that hate you;”
“Second, the power of your terms is not high enough to be effective—absolutely do not fight. Even in my prime, I could only be annihilated, remember? Absolutely not!”
As soon as the words fell.
Shen Ye felt a blur all around him.
Creator Chaluk’s voice became ethereal.
The entire world gradually drifted away.
The next moment.
He suddenly found himself standing in a deep dark space.
There was light above.
—Where is this place?
He looked around, only to see that this seemed to be a giant underground cave, and he was at the bottom of it.
It also looked like a huge well.
He stood in the shadows at the bottom of the well, and only by looking up could he see the faint, irregular light from the well’s opening.
Wait a minute.
Shen Ye looked back and forth, a chill rising in his heart.
The walls of this well were entirely made of skulls.
On all four sides, various strange skulls were piled up like bricks, forming a circular wall that extended all the way to the well opening.
Although he stood in the dark, many skulls were already stirring.
They seemed to have sensed his presence!
Shen Ye’s heart tightened.
Out of the humble instinct of a living being, he could fully perceive the power and madness of these skulls.
Even though they no longer had any life force.
Not far from him, a skull suddenly emitted a dull murmur.
—What did it want to do?
Shen Ye sharply turned his head to look, feeling a bad premonition.
That head was not human; it resembled an extremely bloated fly, yet it had a human mouth.
The teeth in its mouth incessantly clattered, making a “click-click-click” sound.
It stared at Shen Ye.
As if Shen Ye was something it deeply hated.
Deadly silence.
Shen Ye suddenly realized.
That’s right.
The corpse…
He stopped looking at the strange fly-head and instead looked around, indeed seeing several corpses.
Two of them had already completely turned into skeletons.
The third was a headless corpse.
Only the fourth corpse was the long-haired female corpse mentioned by Creator Chaluk.
Shen Ye moved stealthily, picked up the corpse, and carried it on his back.
“Do not stay in places that hate you.”
That fly-head was very strange.
—Move out of its sight!
At this moment, Shen Ye relied entirely on his intuition and quickly moved towards the other end of the well.
The path at the bottom of the well was uneven—
No.
If one looked closely, one would find that the bottom of this well was also entirely filled with various strange skulls.
Those uneven organs made the path difficult.
Shen Ye carried the female corpse, stepping on countless skulls, moving gently in the darkness.
—The sound from that fly-head just now made him uncomfortable all over.
He always felt something was about to happen.
He had to get away from that place!
Shh… shh…
A faint sound came from the path he had taken.
Shen Ye looked back.
He saw a black corpse—
The reason it was called a corpse was because its upper body was full of human flesh, but its lower body was only black bones.
This humanoid monster faced Shen Ye and slowly descended.
No—
It wasn’t descending; rather, it had more than a dozen tentacles growing from its back.
These tentacles continuously pierced the wall, allowing it to slowly reach the bottom of the well by climbing.
“Cackle cackle cackle—”
The fly-head’s sound grew louder, as if it was narrating something.
The monster quietly listened to the fly-head’s voice.
There was nothing else on its face, only a long, pointed horn.
As the fly-head recounted—
One tentacle turned into a pale bone spur, piercing through the fly-head in an instant, lifting it high, and placing it in front of the monster.
The fly-head’s “cackle” stopped.
In its place was a sucking, “zzzzzz” sound.
Shen Ye covered himself with the female corpse, crouched in a dimly lit corner, and quietly watched.
He saw the monster’s long, pointed horn on its face pierce into the fly-head.
The fly-head continuously shrank.
It turned out that was the sound of it being sucked dry like a drink.
After this, the monster’s dozen or so tentacles all turned into white bone spikes, continuously touching the ground, as if crawling.
—Towards Shen Ye’s direction.
Shen Ye placed his hand on the hilt of the Spring Rain Blade.
“Absolutely do not fight.”
This was the second piece of advice Creator Chaluk had given him.
But he had already been “reported” by that fly-head.
The monster was coming towards him.
What to do?
No fighting…
Shen Ye’s mind stirred.
The Great Heavenly Demon Manifestation Art was activated!
The Original Formless Heavenly Demon Saint King quietly manifested, stepping on skulls and sprinting towards the top of the well.
Its entire body was enveloped in a celestial aura, holding a long blade, ready to face any attack at any moment—
A dozen sharp spikes directly pinned it to the wall.
There was no room for resistance!
The monster appeared behind the Heavenly Demon Saint King, casually brandishing a sharp spike.
The Formless Heavenly Demon Saint King’s head was severed.
The monster seemed to lose interest, carrying the head, and slowly crawled in the well.
At this moment.
With the manifestation of the Formless Heavenly Demon Saint King, Shen Ye gained its formless and pure ability, entering an invisible state.
He carried the female corpse and once again changed his position.
—It was a darker, lightless place.
Just as Shen Ye hid, a laugh came from behind him.
“Want to live here? Dream on.”
Before Shen Ye could react, the monster that had been moving on the well wall suddenly appeared before him, piercing the female corpse with over a dozen spiked legs, lifting it high.
The monster suddenly stiffened.
The female corpse—
Had long since lost all power, it was merely a rotting corpse.
The monster casually threw the corpse on the ground, then looked at the dark void on the ground.
—Shen Ye was huddled in that corner covered by the dark void.
The monster slowly extended a spiked leg, cautiously approaching Shen Ye.
No way to hide!
Shen Ye felt a vague premonition.
—As long as he made any move, the other party would discover him instantly!
Judging from the monster’s previous few actions—
If the terms really couldn’t work, no one would have a chance to resist this monster’s attack.
The spike gradually approached Shen Ye’s face.
Is time not up yet?
If he couldn’t fight, but only buy time…
He silently chanted “good brother” in his heart.
The next moment.
A Dharma Realm puppet appeared before Shen Ye.
This puppet looked exactly like Shen Ye, just a bit smaller in size.
The Dharma Realm puppet was unaffected by anything!
Shen Ye gently lifted the puppet, facing the spike.
Poof.
The spike directly pierced the puppet, retracting it.
The monster raised its head, carefully examining the Dharma Realm puppet hanging on its spike, and made no reaction for a moment.
After a few breaths.
It seemed to have understood the Dharma Realm puppet, and casually used a few spiked legs to cut it back and forth.
The Dharma Realm puppet instantly turned into fragments.
—Although it was stated to be “unaffected by anything,” the monster easily destroyed the Dharma Realm puppet!
The monster slowly turned its head and looked at Shen Ye again.
At this moment.
A strange sensation enveloped Shen Ye’s entire body.
That most important matter had ended.
—He could return immediately.
In these last few seconds, he absolutely must not die!
“Door, door!”
He silently chanted twice in his heart.
He saw a Heaven-Reaching Door appear before him, followed by a Sealing Door.
The monster sensed the change, and all its spikes immediately shot towards the doors.
Amidst the dense “thud-thud-thud” sounds, spikes passed through the Heaven-Reaching Door and instantly pierced through the monster’s own body!
Faint small characters appeared:
“You opened the Heaven-Reaching Door.”
“This obstacle is set as ‘the distance to the attacker’s body’.”
“All of the opponent’s attacks crossed the obstacle, reaching the opponent’s body!”
Shen Ye stared intently at the monster.
He saw it casually pull all the spikes out of its body, then flashed—
Boom!
It crashed through the Heaven-Reaching Door, and then it crashed through the Sealing Door!
Inside the Sealing Door, dense sounds of spells echoed.
But it was no use.
The monster slowly walked out of the Sealing Door.
Taking advantage of this moment—
Shen Ye finally sensed the spatial gravitational pull.
The instant the monster emerged from the door, he disappeared.
…
On the other side.
Still in that dense forest.
Shen Ye suddenly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
He returned alive!
Lines of faint characters quietly appeared:
“The moment your power transcended the barrier, you encountered an unprecedented crisis.”
“Fortunately, you survived this stage.”
“The power of the Dharma Realm returned to tranquility, and your nascent Dharma Aspect, the Sky-Shaking, merged with the ‘Supreme Yi Life-Extending Suffering-Saving Dream Divine Palace’.”
“Fusion complete.”
“Congratulations.”
“The Peerless Immortal Kingdom Dharma Aspect has for the first time completely merged and gathered within one person.”
“In the ending Fifth Epoch, and the eternal darkness that is about to come, this is the only spark!”
Shen Ye’s face was grim.
Perhaps—
He should have a good talk with Creator Chaluk of the Fourth Epoch.
