Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 123

“You’re not going to fall to your death, are you?”

“That won’t happen, it’s just too embarrassing. I need to be more mindful of this in future battles,” Shen Ye said.

He stretched out his hand, lifting it slightly—

A door!

A door appeared.

Swish—

Shen Ye crashed through the door, ran along the uphill path behind it for a while to slow down, and then crashed through another door—

Just like he did at the Human Martial Arts Building, he continuously summoned doors, finally landing safely.

Thud!

Shen Ye plopped onto the ground, then lay down, panting. He couldn’t get up at all.

Damn it.

His attribute points were completely insufficient.

It seems he needed to continue improving his basic attributes.

And he had to work hard to level up his traits.

“I say,” he gasped.

“What?” Big Skeleton asked.

“I probably can’t go to your world tonight—my hands are too weak to lift now,” Shen Ye said.

“It’s fine if you don’t go. Anyway, the city-wide manhunt won’t end so quickly. It’s better to recuperate here and avoid the limelight,” Big Skeleton said, taking it in stride.

“What do you think of my move?” Shen Ye looked up at the sky outside.

The wind howled.

Snow mingled with the wind.

Snowflakes fell everywhere, in the courtyard, on tree branches, and in the rooms.

“Hmph, it’s mediocre,” Big Skeleton said.

“This is considered mediocre?” Shen Ye protested.

“Of course, you just haven’t seen enough,” Big Skeleton said with certainty.

Time slowly passed.

The snow continued to fall.

“…Can you unsummon this move?” Big Skeleton asked.

“I don’t think so,” Shen Ye said with difficulty.

His face was turning blue from the cold.

—If he froze to death from his own spell, it would be ridiculous.

But that danger was present right now.

A knock sounded at the door outside.

“Shen Ye? Are you okay? I just saw you run down from the sky—in GIF format.”

Xiao Mengyu’s voice came from outside the door.

“I’m fine!” Shen Ye shouted at the top of his lungs.

“Can I come in?” Xiao Mengyu’s voice held a hint of suspicion.

“Come in!”

The door was pushed, but it didn’t open.

—The door was locked.

“Just climb in, I really don’t have the strength to open the door right now,” Shen Ye said.

“Okay!”

A figure nimbly vaulted over the wall and landed in the courtyard.

It was Xiao Mengyu.

She was wearing a cotton coat and exhaling white mist.

“Why are you lying on the ground?!” she asked in surprise.

“Admiring my skill,” Shen Ye sighed.

“Aren’t you cold?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“It’s fine, minor situation,” Shen Ye continued to look at the sky.

Given Xiao Mengyu’s intelligence, she quickly understood the situation after seeing the snow in the sky and his immobilized state.

“Shen Ye, your skill is very powerful.”

“Of course.”

“Officer Wu said this snow contains the power of the Taeyin [Great Yin] from the mystical realm, and it’s not to be underestimated. You must keep warm, otherwise you won’t even know how you froze to death.”

Shen Ye’s body stiffened.

“Huh?” Xiao Mengyu added.

“What?” Shen Ye asked.

“You have something dirty on your head.”

A slender, jade-like hand reached out, moving directly forward to gently caress his forehead.

It was icy cold.

Xiao Mengyu’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

—This child is about to be frozen to death by his own skill?

So he felt embarrassed, right.

He was still trying to save face at a time like this.

The power of Taeyin was very ruthless; if it damaged his internal organs, that would be troublesome!

Xiao Mengyu didn’t think much further. She directly helped him up, carried him in a princess carry, and walked into the room, placing him on the bed.

Shen Ye’s mouth hung open, his whole body stiff, not daring to move.

It was only after Xiao Mengyu had done all this that she realized what she had just done, and her face flushed instantly.

“What’s going on, you’re so cold, I clearly remember your basic attributes weren’t bad.”

She asked, forcing herself to maintain her composure.

“I took up the Hun Tian Men profession, and when I was trying out its skills, I completely exhausted my spiritual energy, and my physical strength was almost gone too,” Shen Ye also said, maintaining his composure, and explained earnestly.

“Why didn’t you conserve some strength?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“I was too excited, I didn’t pay attention,” Shen Ye said.

“That won’t do, you must be careful. If someone ambushes you, it’ll be over.”

“You’re right.”

As they spoke, both of them had recovered.

“There was a blizzard just now, and the commander said it was you who released it. Everyone thought you had taken up a profession like an Ice Mage. Is that true?” Xiao Mengyu asked with great interest.

“Actually, it’s an archery profession,” Shen Ye said.

“Archery? Are you still going to take up a profession from Xi Rang High School?” Xiao Mengyu finally became comfortable.

“Of course—I’ll give it a try after I recover. By the way, how about you? Was your professional advancement smooth?” Shen Ye asked curiously.

“Look.”

Xiao Mengyu stood still.

Seven revolving stars quietly appeared in the void behind her, forming the phantom of a long sword, radiating sharp and unpredictable starlight outwards.

“Star Aspect: Seven Star Sword Palace,” Xiao Mengyu said.

“Wow, that’s so cool,” Shen Ye exclaimed.

“The Sword Emissary said I’ve been recognized by the mystical realm as a Sword Saint. Once my natal star shone upon me, I immediately manifested this extremely special Star Aspect. And since I’m already a Sword Saint, I don’t need to learn any more swordsman profession skills,” Xiao Mengyu said.

“So, your swordsmanship has surpassed the basic professional skills?”

“Yes, but this rare Star Aspect is very significant to me. It has endowed me with extremely powerful abilities—”

Xiao Mengyu placed her hand on the hilt of her sword.

Clang!

The long sword shot out from its sheath, flew out the window with a whoosh, and soared into the sky.

“The ‘Sword Enters the Blue Void’ is the flying sword power bestowed upon me by the Aspect. It doesn’t consume my strength; I only need to make my move.”

Xiao Mengyu said.

Without her doing anything, a blurred afterimage suddenly descended from the sky, flying back like lightning, and with a “clang,” it returned to its sheath.

“So this is what a Sword Saint is. I finally understand,” Shen Ye said with emotion.

“You knew about Sword Saints a long time ago?” Xiao Mengyu asked curiously.

“Haha, there’s nothing much to say about that. It’s a thing of the past.”

“…Since you’re fine, I’m going to practice my sword. This is for you to replenish your energy. Take one if you feel unwell.”

Xiao Mengyu placed a small bottle by the pillow and then left.

Shen Ye managed to grab the bottle, only to see “One pill at a time, twice a day” written on the label.

He opened the stopper.

Inside were many small blue pills.

Blue pills?

He was startled and hesitant when he saw two lines of faint glowing text appear:

“Ancient Elixir: Guiyuan Replenishing Spirit Pill.”

“—Remarkably effective for restoring stamina in battle.”

So that’s what it was.

Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief, poured out a pill, and took it.

The pill was indeed effective.

Hmm.

Very proper.

Before long.

He regained some strength, and his attribute points slowly began to rise again.

However, the increase was too slow, only recovering a fraction of a point per hour.

It would be better to go to the Nightmare World again.

Shen Ye made up his mind. After his stamina recovered a bit more, he climbed out of bed and placed his hand on his bedroom door.

“Grant the power of ‘World Link’!”

He pushed the door open.

And walked in.

Inside the door was a secret passage.

—He was back in the human territory.

“What now? Those teleportation arrays are in Prince Norton’s hands; presumably, only he has the authority to activate them,” Big Skeleton asked.

“First, a massage, then we’ll discuss other things,” Shen Ye said.

Ten minutes later.

At the battlefield emergency medical center.

Shen Ye was lying on a bed, preparing to receive the sacred massage from the old dean.

He suddenly felt something move in his embrace.

He took it out and saw it was a magic letter paper.

There were only two words on the letter paper:

“Peiqi, come quickly.”

—This was Prince Norton’s letter paper.

That’s strange, why would he want me to “come quickly”?

He must have known that he had returned to the human army camp, which is why he wrote these two words.

So, should he go and see?

Shen Ye glanced at the old dean, who had just put on his special gloves and was chanting divine texts with his eyes closed.

After reciting the divine texts, the massage was about to begin.

Perhaps he should go see what was going on with His Highness, the Prince.

Just as Shen Ye was about to speak, another line of text appeared on the letter paper:

“Don’t bother coming, you fool, leave quickly! You must find out the truth about the Undead Empire.”

…A moment ago he told me to come quickly, now he’s telling me to leave quickly?

Countless thoughts flashed through Shen Ye’s mind.

“Alright, let’s start the massage now. I hope it can help your body recover quickly.”

The old dean said with a smile.

Shen Ye put away the letter paper and lay back down.

Regardless, he needed to recover first before doing anything else.

The old dean began to massage him.

After a while.

A rush of footsteps sounded.

“Peiqi?”

“His Highness Prince Norton wants to see you!”

Several guards shouted.

“Got it, wait a moment. I need to recover my stamina right now,” Shen Ye grunted.

“You dare to make the Prince wait?” one guard said.

“Prince Norton and I have an agreement. When is it your turn to point fingers?” Shen Ye said inexplicably.

Seeing his attitude, the guards were unsure of his depths and dared not do anything further.

Shen Ye continued his massage.

By the time the dean finished the entire sacred massage technique, his attributes had mostly recovered.

“Thank you.”

Shen Ye expressed his sincere gratitude, casually placing a small bag of gold on the table.

This was his last bit of spare money.

“You’re welcome, if you feel unwell again, come find me,” the dean said with a smile, collecting the money.

“It’s too expensive, I wouldn’t dare come again next time,” Shen Ye said.

Wait a minute—

Shen Ye’s mind suddenly clicked.

I have bone coins!

—Plenty of bone coins!

If nothing else, he could go to the Undead Empire and exchange worthless bone coins for valuable gold!

This plan was too brilliant!
