Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 631
byI have to say.
The Saints and Aether have been dealing with each other for so many years, they still have some experience and methods.
That finger was sealed by the Saints who rushed over after hearing the news.
The finger resisted fiercely before being sealed—
When it was suppressed, several Saints inspected the scene.
—The entire warehouse was a mess, and all seals were destroyed.
This was the finger causing trouble, so the ordinary staff couldn’t be blamed.
Fortunately, this was just a D-class warehouse.
There was no danger.
All the staff on site were questioned one by one.
But this matter was very clear.
The Saints made a mistake when identifying items in the Aether.
—It was clearly an A-class item, but it was identified as a D-class.
But it was impossible to punish the Saints for such a thing.
They could only let it go.
The staff on site were also unlucky to encounter such a thing.
According to regulations.
They had to be quarantined and observed for at least 12 hours before being released.
So.
Jiu was once again in solitary confinement.
The isolation room was small and simple.
Someone outside was observing at all times.
But none of this mattered.
Jiu relished it.
Isolation and observation meant that no one could harm her.
She could practice with peace of mind.
Jiu sat directly on the ground, closed her eyes, and silently comprehended the method of becoming a Saint from the “King.”
The more she learned, the more shocked she became.
This method of becoming a Saint was truly vast and magnificent, encompassing all the insights into using laws, it was simply a supreme method.
Jiu patiently comprehended this method of becoming a Saint.
She even had a feeling—
—If it was a method of becoming a Saint for a single law, she might have already learned it!
The observation window of the solitary confinement room was opened from time to time.
Someone was observing the condition of the isolated person.
But Jiu didn’t care at all.
She just sat there, with her eyes closed, motionless.
Time passed slowly.
Just as she was sensing something and about to establish some mysterious connection with the void, the door of the observation room opened.
“Cultivating?”
The person stood at the door and asked.
Jiu had to open her eyes and look at the other person.
“Anyway, I’m free, my lord.”
She said.
—The person standing at the door was a Saint.
She had seen him when the Ministry of Justice conducted the inheritance trial.
“The matter has been clarified, and you are all fine, go back and rest.”
The Saint said.
“As you wish, my lord.”
Jiu was about to get up, but found a resistant reaction in her body.
Give it to me.
I’ll do it for you.
—This monster is not something you can handle.
Something was talking to her like this, and she seemed to have no objection at all.
Who was it?
Was it that curse?
What do you want?
Jiu silently asked.
Mother, it wants to eat you, I’ll scare it away for you, so you don’t expose yourself.
The next second.
The curse took over her body.
“Get lost.”
Jiu heard herself say in a cold voice.
At the same time.
A whispered voice sounded in her mind:
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll chase it away, Mother.”
—The curse really possessed her!
Could it be—
The smile on the Saint’s face disappeared, his face turned pale, and his voice was hoarse and full of desire:
“I need souls and flesh, you cannot stop me.”
Jiu heard herself say, “This is my mother, if you touch her, I will perish with you.”
The Saint looked Jiu up and down and asked tentatively:
“You won’t disturb me, right?”
“I have no interest in your affairs.” Jiu said.
Her whole body radiated spheres of light, condensing into strange runes in the void.
These runes seemed ready to be activated at any moment.
The Saint stepped back and said:
“There are many souls and flesh in this building—”
“It has nothing to do with me.” Jiu immediately replied.
“Deal.”
The Saint retreated back to the door, transformed into a mass of flesh on the door, quickly passed through the gaps in the door, and disappeared.
Only then.
Jiu felt that she had regained control of her body.
“That was just now…”
She said.
A voice immediately sounded in her mind:
“It was that finger, it wanted to turn this place into its lair.”
Jiu fell silent.
That Saint just now was actually a finger?
—It’s getting stronger.
When she saw it before, she didn’t have the same feeling as now.
Perhaps as it gradually devoured flesh and souls, it would become stronger.
By then.
Perhaps it would no longer be afraid of the curse.
“How strong are you?” Jiu asked.
“No, I’m barely alive right now, and I’m thinking about how to continue living.”
“Then just now?”
“I scared it a bit, after all, it’s just a finger, not its complete form.”
“I see.”
While talking.
Control of the body was handed back again.
This process was extremely natural, as if the other party was no longer able to do anything more.
It seems she still had to rely on herself.
Becoming a Saint was the way to go.
Jiu hesitated—
Should she use “Lantern of Memories” here?
If she used “Lantern of Memories,” she would definitely have ample time to cultivate and become a Saint.
But the power of that blade technique would surely alert several laws and be detected by the Saints.
The Saint of Time would surely know that she was here.
Her innocent identity would be gone!
“Mother, I just temporarily controlled your body, I’m too tired and need to sleep.”
“Okay, then sleep.” Jiu said.
“Here, take this.”
“What is it?”
“Our stuff—I don’t understand what you cultivate, but things from our world should be very strong…”
The voice stopped there.
A line of faint words appeared before Jiu’s eyes:
“Your follower ‘?? Curse’ has fallen into slumber.”
The small words remained motionless.
At the same time.
In Jiu’s consciousness, a burst of information erupted like a volcanic eruption.
Endless information materialized in her brain, manifesting countless combat scenarios.
The information appeared too fast, too dense, and too complex, and her brain’s reaction speed was also raised to an ineffable limit.
—This transcended time.
One second.
It felt like ten thousand years had passed.
The clock on the wall continued to tick.
Tick-tock.
Ten thousand years.
Tick-tock.
Ten thousand years.
Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
Bang—
The door of the solitary confinement room opened.
That Saint reappeared in the room.
It warily looked at Jiu.
Jiu could naturally see it too.
But—
Although her brain was thinking ten thousand thoughts a second right now, her body couldn’t keep up with the reaction.
What if the other party attacked?
No.
She couldn’t immerse herself in this world of thought anymore.
“Fuse.”
Jiu silently chanted in her mind.
Instantly.
She returned to normal, stood up from the ground, and asked:
“You’re back?”
“There are too many enemies, sealing off all exits, and I haven’t gotten enough flesh and souls, so I’m still very weak—come fight with me.” The Saint said impatiently.
“I refuse.” Jiu said.
Before the other party could speak, she continued:
“Your only way out now is to return to the seal.”
“If I just kill a few more, and get enough nourishment, I won’t be afraid of them.” The Saint said.
“What if it doesn’t succeed?” Jiu asked.
The Saint couldn’t answer the question.
“Go back to the seal, while they still don’t know.” Jiu urged.
“Then you—”
“If I wanted to betray you, I wouldn’t give you advice.”
The Saint heard some truth, but still seemed extremely agitated.
“Time is running out… I don’t understand why you’re still wasting time here, aren’t you panicking at all?”
Jiu didn’t know what it was talking about.
But Jiu knew something else—
If she didn’t respond now, things might get troublesome.
“Being too hasty makes it difficult to do things well. Humans have a saying, ‘Haste makes waste,’ so I prefer to make all arrangements before acting.” Jiu said.
The Saint seemed to accept this, grunted, and then continued:
“Since that incident, everything has fallen into chaos. The new Kings are fighting endlessly, while the old Kings no longer care about anything. Doomsday and lies are lurking on the sidelines. In my opinion, it’s better to occupy this place first.”
“But how long can you hide like this?” Jiu interjected.
This sentence was brilliant.
Jiu also sensed its ineffable impatience, panic, and the despair behind it, which is why she came up with such a sentence.
The Saint immediately paused, and looked up at her.
“What you said is true… I’ll go back to the seal first, and we can talk later.”
The Saint nodded at her and disappeared in an instant.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Whoosh—
Jiu let out a long sigh of relief, took a few steps back, and slowly sat down against the cold wall.
This monster.
It ate a Saint.
There was no doubt about this.
If it was willing to try its best—
It would definitely be able to eat her.
After all, the curse had fallen into slumber, and her own strength was not even at the Saint realm.
But it was restless and didn’t observe her carefully.
Its focus was on something else—
There were too many Saints in the “Myriad Worlds Survival Council” building, and it might not be able to survive to the end.
That was why it came to her.
Jiu calmed down, then looked at the faint words that had just appeared:
“You activated the entry ‘Mandala-Ouroboros’, fusing the cultivation knowledge of becoming a Saint from ‘?? Curse’ with the method of becoming a Saint from the ‘King’.”
“Based on the ‘Mandala-Ouroboros’ entry at the pinnacle of truth, this fusion underwent an ultra-limited evolution.”
“Congratulations.”
“You have obtained the sequential Saint-making method.”
“Description:”
“Your method of becoming a Saint has evolved into a temporarily existing sequence. As you gradually fulfill the sequence requirements, you will ascend step by step to a Saint realm beyond the myriad worlds.”
“—The Great Saint realm.”
Jiu was somewhat shaken.
Ever since she upgraded “Blood-sucking Doll” to “Mandala-Ouroboros”, it seemed like anything could be fused.
And what emerged from the fusion always exceeded expectations.
This also made her deeply realize the power of the entries.
But—
What was a sequence?
What should she do next?
As Jiu was thinking, lines of faint words quietly appeared:
“Everything has begun.”
“Drive the law of destiny to activate and generate the first mission.”
“Stealth Kill.”
“Description: Stay here and release your ‘Leaping Blade’ to kill the person in the sixth office from the left on the thirty-seventh floor of the building.”
“Time limit: seven minutes.”
“If the mission is successful, you will gain one-third of a Saint’s power.”
“Start!”
Leaping Blade…
Jiu fell into thought, then was somewhat surprised.
This mission was full of profound meaning.
The essence of Leaping Blade was to “bypass all laws and restrictions of techniques, directly attacking the enemy’s vital points.”
This mission, however, gave her a reminder.
—Can this move transcend space?
—Can it pinpoint the target accurately?
—Can it remain undetected?
If one cannot “leap” with such divine skill, how can it be called a true “Leaping Blade”?
This was about realizing the Dao in battle.
This was more difficult than silent contemplation!
Jiu pressed her hand to her blade and began to carefully sense the laws.
First.
She had to find a way to make good use of all “hidden” laws to protect herself from being discovered.
Jiu silently began to invoke the laws.
On the other side.
Myriad Worlds Survival Council building.
The sixth office from the left on the thirty-seventh floor.
A burly man was receiving a visitor.
Sitting opposite him was Xiao Hua from the Aether Affairs Department, along with two companions.
“When Jie died, he left his inheritance to that bitch.”
“If you’re willing to make a move, you can have a ten percent share.”
“This is the Saint’s guarantee.”
Xiao Hua said.
The man, however, was unmoved, and said:
“But if I kill her, I’ll have to take the blame, and my future will be ruined.”
“And everyone will think I took all of the Saint’s inheritance, so my days of being on the run won’t be easy.”
Xiao Hua smiled and placed an emblem on the table.
“After it’s done, you can go to our world, change your appearance and identity, and become the Saint’s subordinate.”
“You will be highly valued.”
“This emblem was given to me by the Saint to give to you, and you know what it represents.”
The man finally showed emotion.
“Okay,” he pondered, “Once that woman is out of confinement, I’ll find an opportunity to strike.”
“I’ll await your good news.”
Xiao Hua stood up and left with her two companions.
The door closed.
After seeing them off, the man returned to the sofa and sat down.
A brutal killing intent seeped from his eyes.
“Good… I finally got this chance…”
The biggest benefit of the whole thing was not the Saint’s patronage.
But after taking out that queen bee woman—
He would be the first to see the contents of the Saint’s inheritance.
If there were particularly valuable items in the inheritance—
Such as a method for becoming a Saint, or some special cultivation potions that could instantly elevate one’s strength to near that of a Saint.
Then it would be a surefire win!
Becoming a Saint…
If there really was a method for becoming a Saint, killing thousands of queen bees would be nothing!
The man was thinking.
In the basement of the building.
Jiu suddenly opened her eyes, pressed her hand to her blade, and gently swung it forward.
The long blade seemed to have a life of its own, blossoming with an exquisitely perfect tremor in her hand.
With this tremor, a blade light immediately burst forth from the blade’s edge, like a fish leaping from water, or an antelope suddenly leaping and hanging its horns, almost untraceable.
The blade light instantly leaped into the void, flashing away.
—It was the “Leaping Blade”!
It leaped out of all laws, unconstrained by them, only pursuing the inevitable target!
Rumble!
A deafening sound erupted from the sixth office on the thirty-seventh floor of the Myriad Worlds Survival Council building.
People nearby heard the commotion and quickly went to check.
They saw that the entire office was shattered, everything destroyed, with only the four walls covered in sizzling fresh blood.
Clang!
Jiu, who was in the solitary confinement room on the ground floor of the building, sheathed her blade, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and let out a long breath.
“This is the true Leaping Blade.”
“Before… I thought too simply…”
She murmured softly to herself.
At the same time.
Lines of faint words appeared quickly:
“Congratulations.”
“You have completed the sequence mission:”
“Stealth Kill.”
“Time limit: seven minutes, completed in the third minute.”
“Mission successful, you will gain one-third of a Saint’s power.”
“Destiny Interpretation: The person who accepted the assassination mission died at the hands of the assassination target, and his employer will face questioning.”
“—This is a classic example of destiny.”
“The second mission will be issued when the time is right.”
In the void.
Endless strands of the power of law surged forth, entering Jiu’s body.
She sat motionless, yet she could feel all her attributes and even her soul becoming abundant.
—This was truly a strange method of enhancement!
This reward did not appear out of thin air, but because she had launched such a strike, truly reaching one-third of a Saint’s standard!
But—
This Saint’s standard was a bit high.
Jiu meticulously recalled her past battles, only to feel that such a strike was already sufficient to deal with certain Saints.
Bang!
The door of the solitary confinement room was kicked open.
Two rows of professionals poured in.
Jiu instantly switched to her teacher’s boxing style.
“You activated ‘Passionate Comrade’ and exchanged abilities with Xu Xingke.”
“Xu Xingke expressed not wanting ‘Alluring Grace’, so you made another exchange with ‘Golden Sales Pitch’.”
“Xu Xingke agreed.”
“You obtained his ‘Mountain River Sacred Emperor Fist’.”
All the small words flashed by.
Jiu stood up from the ground, warily looking at the people.
“What do you want?”
She asked.
“Where were you just now?” an old man shouted.
Jiu glanced at him, then looked outside the door.
Two guards stood outside the door.
“The door has been sealed.” The guard shouted.
The old man ignored him, however, and with a movement of his body, immediately rushed towards Jiu.
Jiu threw a punch without hesitation.
Mountain River Sacred Emperor Fist!
The moment she threw the punch, she suddenly felt something.
—Teacher’s boxing is very strong.
But after seeing the curse’s teachings, she had new insights.
The Leaping Blade bypasses laws.
This punch, however, required gathering laws!
If multiple laws could be gathered, this punch might be even stronger!
For example—
Jiu quickly stepped forward, mobilizing all her attributes for free conversion, and instantly summoned a force of law from the void.
Boom!!!
Fist and foot collided, creating a powerful shockwave that swept through the entire solitary confinement room.
The old man jumped back and said:
“It’s not her—this punching technique is almost touching the edge of the law.”
“The murderer is a sword user.”
“Go!”
The old man hurriedly left.
The professionals on the side were all a bit puzzled, but soon followed and quickly left the solitary confinement room.
The two guards at the door were only engrossed in Jiu’s appearance.
“Close the door, or you’ll be scolded.”
Jiu smiled at the two.
“You truly care for us.” The two were moved, and quickly closed the door.
Jiu ruffled her hair.
Care for you?
Simps.
—I wonder if you’d be disgusted if you knew I’m actually a man.
Jiu sat back down and began to quietly wait for things to unfold.
If everything was to be investigated.
That man would inevitably involve many people.
And she had been in solitary confinement, with a perfect alibi.
—Even a general Saint couldn’t carry out such an assassination while deceiving the laws.
She had also reached this point with the support of the mysterious and the Lord, the fusion of two Saint-making methods, and her previous achievements in swordplay.
Suddenly.
A line of faint words appeared before his eyes:
“You have provided a new annotation and demonstration of ‘Mountain River Sacred Emperor Fist’. Do you wish to synchronize it with your passionate comrade?”
Show this punch to the teacher?
What’s the problem with that!
“Let the teacher see it, this is something from the method of becoming a Saint, I hope the teacher can also gain something from it.”
Jiu silently thought in her heart.
