Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 104

The jade plaque slowly landed in Shen Ye’s hand.

“Hey, thanks!” Shen Ye waved at the flying dragon in mid-air.

The flying dragon nodded slightly at him, then dove into the void, its destination unknown.

Dead silence.

A profound dead silence.

Shen Ye waved the jade plaque in his hand, scratched his head, and chuckled, “I’m going to study at the Huntian Sect.”

“—Oh, where is the Huntian Sect?”

No one answered him.

People just stared at him, as if he were an alien.

After a few breaths.

A majestic electronic voice sounded:

“Citizen Shen Ye, confirmed to have joined the ancient sect Huntian Sect. Current personal authority elevated, rank confidential.”

It was Kunlun!

Its reaction was more direct; it had already elevated Shen Ye’s personal authority.

This seemed to be a signal—

The Xirang High School invigilator straightened, flew in front of Shen Ye, and said with a smile:

“Xirang High School welcomes you, Shen Ye.”

“Huh?” Shen Ye was confused.

The Xirang High School invigilator said:

“The Huntian Sect was one of the four great sects in ancient times, but it has gradually faded into history.”

“So if you are admitted to the Huntian Sect, you can only attend another school as a visiting student.”

“Our Xirang High School welcomes you and hopes you can study here. All expenses will be covered by the school—I can make this decision, absolutely no problem.”

“Is there no more Huntian Sect?” Shen Ye sounded a bit disappointed.

The Xirang High School invigilator looked at him with ardent eyes:

“It has indeed disappeared—but if the ruins of the Huntian Sect are discovered one day, then with the jade plaque granted to you by the Dharma Realm just now, you can enter it without worrying about safety.”

Qian Rushan chimed in: “Not only that, in various ruins around the world, some places require the identity of a formal ancient sect disciple to be allowed to enter.”

“—There aren’t many people with such an identity, and each one is extremely precious.”

Shen Ye finally understood.

What? Just now everyone shunned him, and now he’s suddenly become the most sought-after person?

Xiao Mengyu couldn’t hold back anymore and directly came forward, tugging at his sleeve, speaking quickly and excitedly:

“The three major high schools each have their own inherited professions, and you can obtain the fourth inherited profession—”

“The profession of the Huntian Sect!”

“Wait a minute—” Shen Ye hadn’t even spoken when the Guixu High School invigilator shouted loudly, “Whatever Xirang High School offers you, Guixu will offer double!”

The Jialan High School invigilator put down his phone and said, “That’s right, our Jialan High School can offer you better conditions. Please think carefully about which high school is the strongest among the three major high schools.”

Shen Ye said in surprise, “Didn’t you just say I cheated?”

“That was a misunderstanding, Shen Ye.” A hint of embarrassment flashed across the Jialan High School invigilator’s face.

“No, I’ve already understood the style of Jialan High School through you, and to be honest, I really dislike Jialan High School—”

Shen Ye looked back at Qian Rushan.

Qian Rushan, however, looked at Cang Nanyan.

Cang Nanyan’s face glowed red, and he laughed loudly, “You can go to whichever one you want. Our Human Martial Arts Group is your strong backing!”

Alright.

With this big shot’s endorsement, he had nothing to hesitate about.

The Xirang High School invigilator suddenly shouted:

“Our Xirang was on good terms with the Huntian Sect in ancient times, and there were personnel exchanges!”

“As long as you come, you might trigger something special at school—and the ancient disciples of the Huntian Sect left some things in our Dharma Realm, which can be given to you!”

“Are you sure?” Shen Ye asked.

“I swear by our principal’s integrity! And mine, of course!” the Xirang invigilator said.

This was a public setting.

And the speaker was an invigilator.

He could be trusted!

“Okay, then I’ll go to Xirang.” Shen Ye made a decisive choice.

Xiao Mengyu also walked over and looked at the Xirang High School invigilator, saying, “I was just admitted to Jialan High School, but now I want to go to Xirang. Is that possible—”

Shen Ye interjected, “Can you sort this out? I also hope she joins Xirang High School.”

“No problem!”

The Xirang High School invigilator immediately made the decision: “Our Xirang can also admit you!”

A voice came from the crowd: “Shen Ye, we also want to go to Xirang!”

It was Zhang Xiaoyi and Guo Yunye!

Shen Ye said, “You see, I still have two classmates who passed the exam—”

“Admit them all!”

The Xirang High School invigilator decided again.

Are you kidding?

Everyone standing here now is an elite who passed the exam!

Even without Shen Ye, as long as they were willing, he would welcome them with open arms!

Suddenly.

A male voice rang out:

“In that case, I will also give up Jialan and join Xirang.”

Everyone turned their heads to look, and it was Nangong Sirui!

He stared at Shen Ye and said, “I didn’t expect you to obtain the qualification of an ancient sect’s true disciple. I hope to be your classmate and see how strong you truly are.”

Shen Ye was about to say a few modest words, but he saw the Jialan invigilator’s face turn green.

“Nangong Sirui, our Jialan is the strongest! Don’t let them mislead you!” the Jialan invigilator said.

Shen Ye immediately stopped being modest, stepped forward, grasped Nangong Sirui’s hand, and shook it vigorously:

“Come on, we’ll all be classmates from now on. We can spar anytime and make progress together.”

“Good!” Nangong Sirui subtly withdrew his hand and nodded.

He put away his own card and handed it to the Xirang High School invigilator.

The invigilator swiftly tapped the card.

Faint yellow lines immediately appeared on the edge of the card.

It was done!

—This indicated that the new recruit had become a member of Xirang High School!

Nangong Sirui changed his choice on the spot, and immediately, a group of students followed suit.

Not just the scions of influential families—

Those ordinary students had long witnessed Shen Ye’s actions, and now seeing him take the lead, they admired him and eagerly joined Xirang High School.

In the end, a total of 136 candidates joined Xirang High School.

Guixu High School had 83 students.

Jialan High School only had 41 students.

The Jialan High School invigilator panicked.

In previous years, Jialan always recruited the most outstanding talents.

—Now, all these people had switched allegiance!

How was he going to explain this back?

Suddenly.

The entire hall shook gently.

Kunlun’s voice abruptly rang out:

“Level one alert.”

“An explosion has occurred at Yunshan Port.”

“A disaster of unknown level has descended.”

“All candidates, please evacuate immediately.”

“Repeat, all candidates, evacuate immediately!”

“This is the highest priority. All academies, do not be stingy with resources, organize students for teleportation at the fastest speed possible!”

“Execute immediately!”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

But apart from the bewildered students, everyone else remained calm, as if they had faced such situations thousands of times before.

A group of masters, led by Cang Nanyan, stepped forward, forming a circle to protect all the students inside.

“You all get ready and leave immediately; we’ll handle things here!”

Cang Nanyan’s booming voice resounded throughout the hall.

“Okay!”

“Thank you for your hard work!”

“We’ll take the students first!”

The three invigilators responded solemnly.

An unexpected change occurred—

Everyone suddenly felt their bodies grow heavy.

A series of fragmented whispers seemed to echo in their ears, mixed with endless malice, bringing a cold and damp sensation.

“It’s a curse!”

The Jialan Academy invigilator cried out in alarm.

“Group curse—quick, everyone, go, hurry!” Cang Nanyan roared.

The ordinary candidates were a sea of confusion.

The scions of noble families, however, all changed their expressions, seemingly consumed by fear.

Shen Ye looked into the void.

His Gate ability had indeed offered an explanation:

“You have been hit by a large-scale group curse.”

“This curse has spread throughout Yunshan Port, affecting 328,761 people.”

“Its name is:”

“Soul Lamenting Phantom.”

“Effect: You will be attacked by your illusory phantom for one day.”

“This illusory phantom possesses all your abilities. If you are killed by it, your soul will become food for the Lord of the Lamenting Demon Prison.”

Shen Ye had just finished reading when his body suddenly felt light again.

The illusory heaviness disappeared.

Two more lines of faint glowing text appeared:

“You have won the gamble with the Lord of the Lamenting Demon Prison. According to the gambling rules, the Prison Lord’s curse cannot affect you.”

“The current curse has been nullified.”

—Such good fortune!

Alright, in this case, he wouldn’t have to worry.

A telepathic message suddenly echoed in his ear:

“Shen Ye, you are the true number one, and the only one to obtain the qualification of a true disciple of an ancient sect. The corporation must heavily reward you.”

—It was Cang Nanyan’s voice!

Shen Ye looked across the crowd at Cang Nanyan, only to see Cang Nanyan subtly nod his head.

Qian Rushan’s voice also followed:

“Listen, it’s not convenient to talk here, but when you get to school, the corporation’s reward will be issued.”

“This is our recognition and encouragement for you!”

“Work hard, the corporation is your strong backing!”

Shen Ye and Qian Rushan met each other’s gaze.

Both felt a bit emotional.

“Don’t worry, old Qian, I hope one day we can fight side by side.”

Shen Ye silently said in his heart.

At this moment, there was another change in the great hall.

The Jialan Academy invigilator formed an incantation with both hands and shouted:

“Hall Inversion!”

The ceiling of the hall instantly flipped over, revealing a spiraling stone staircase that led up into the deep, dark blue night sky, its destination unknown.

“All candidates who passed the Jialan test, follow me!”

“—Hurry up!”

He shouted loudly.

Many candidates suddenly realized.

Yes, this was the Sky Remains, and Jialan Academy was in one of the ruins deep within that sky.

They had secret passages to each other!

Those candidates hurriedly jumped onto the stairs, charging upwards one after another.

“Quick! Quick! Quick!”

The Jialan invigilator urged.

After the last candidate left the hall, he also jumped onto the stairs and shouted:

“Take care, everyone, farewell!”

With a flick of his hand, the entire ceiling flipped back over.

—They had all left.

The two invigilators from Guixu and Xirang also began to act.
