Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 230

The Snake Devil suddenly retreated, changed direction, and fled at full speed.

Nine Aspects, however, was unconcerned, even excitedly rushing forward, first patting Shen Ye on the shoulder and giving a thumbs up, then chasing after it.

Shen Ye was left on the spot.

And The Great Skeleton.

“…” Shen Ye.

“…” The Great Skeleton.

“We survived.”

Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he was covered in a cold sweat.

“Tell me about it, scared me to death, I thought I was a goner,” The Great Skeleton said.

“Then—”

“Let’s get back quickly.”

The door opened.

Shen Ye stepped through, returning to the mural of the Nine Heavens Xuan Nu.

“I remember you have a waist token that allows you to move freely in some tombs.”

The Great Skeleton said.

“Oh, you mean the time my master tested me—that tomb was very shallow, but this place is very deep, so the waist token is useless,” Shen Ye said.

He thought for a moment, flew in front of the Nine Heavens Xuan Nu, gathered all his spiritual power, formed a hand seal, and whispered:

“The might of the heavens, the Jade Terrace under the moon.”

Rumble—

The mural slowly rotated.

The Nine Heavens Xuan Nu gradually changed from her flying posture, transforming into an earth-遁 earth-escaping one.

She still maintained an elegant flying posture, holding up one hand, but this time, it was towards a certain direction deep underground.

Shen Ye nodded slightly.

This matched his memory.

On the hand of the Nine Heavens Xuan Nu, a stone slowly protruded, falling downwards, and soon disappeared.

Shen Ye flew closer to inspect.

A hidden compartment appeared in the hand of the Nine Heavens Xuan Nu, in which an unremarkable stone was placed.

Shen Ye reached out and took the stone.

The stone immediately transformed into a crystal clear ice crystal.

This was the Nine Heavens Profound Ice of the sect.

Only the power fluctuations from a true disciple of the Huntian Sect could activate it, revealing its true form.

And only by holding this ice crystal and utilizing the four techniques of Frost, Moon, Shock, and Heaven from the Huntian Sect could one safely enter the frozen mausoleum.

Shen Ye carefully placed the ice crystal into his hand.

A sudden change occurred—

The ice crystal suddenly scattered into a sheet of white frost, swirling around Shen Ye, as if confirming his identity.

Now it’s time to use my identity!

Shen Ye’s thoughts stirred, and he unfolded his dharma body , allowing the misty white frost to wander back and forth within it.

Suddenly.

A powerful force erupted, pulling him and instantly teleporting him away.

…

In an ice palace entirely composed of ice crystals.

Shen Ye appeared quietly.

He stood in the center of the palace, surrounded by ethereal figures from past eras.

An old man stepped forward and bowed, saying:

“I am the 196th generation Grand Elder of the sect. Here, I have set seven trials and rewards for inner disciples:”

“Heavenly Frost Feather Robe.”

A woman in a long robe stepped forward and bowed, saying:

“The 274th generation guardian of the sect, I have set twenty checkpoints here and rewards for outer disciples:”

“Long Cloud Boots.”

Another man in armor stepped forward and bowed, repeating similar words.

One after another, ethereal figures came forward, reporting their work status to Shen Ye.

Finally—

Shen Ye saw the “Hou Yi” holding the bow.

“The 761st generation introductory disciple of the sect, I have set seven times seven, forty-nine trials here for the night school correspondence course disciples of the outer sect’s miscellaneous duties, with a reward of:”

“Cloud-Striking Bow.”

A bow?

A bloody bow!

You’re setting up forty-nine trials for a bow? Are you trying to kill me?

Shen Ye glared fiercely at the ethereal figure of “Hou Yi”.

But never mind.

He seemed to be just an “introductory disciple,” not even a true one. To have achieved this much was not bad.

Shen Ye withdrew his gaze, scanning everyone around him.

At this point, everyone had finished their reports.

The leading elder spoke:

“Back then, the seventh generation sect leader was far-sighted and required every generation of disciples to leave behind a legacy item.”

“And these legacy items must be able to release their inherent power, transforming into the purest moon-system realm power.”

“If one day in the future—”

“The Huntian Sect Leader arrives in person, it will mean that the sect has reached a critical moment for its survival, triggering this situation.”

Shen Ye stood motionless.

The figures around him raised the legacy artifacts in their hands.

The entire palace began to shake.

Fine, long strands of light emanated from all the legacy items, like a deep, cold essence filled with the original power of the realm, drifting up in wisps and gathering into a ball in the center of the great hall.

Crisp sounds echoed continuously.

Shen Ye gazed intently, only to see the legacy artifacts held by those figures shattering into dust and vanishing.

And the ball of light in the center of the great hall grew brighter, like a bright moon, or a crystal-clear frozen jade disk.

At this moment, the Mythological Lexicon task owned by Shen Ye was awakened once again.

Lines of blood-red text appeared:

“The first step of the Mythical Quest has been completed.”

“The True Meaning of Hun Tian conveyed from a distant past.”

“Description: Go to that place deep in the great tomb, investigate the relics left by the Hun Tian sect in ancient times, all reception and preparation work is complete.”

“Congratulations.”

“The power of all legacy items has merged into one, transforming into the Hun Tian Holy Artifact.”

“You have completed this task.”

All the small words flashed and disappeared together.

A new task refreshed:

“Second step: Concealment.”

“Description: You must assimilate the primordial power of that planet to obtain the mythic lexicon; however, you cannot assimilate the planet’s power, because once it discovers you, you will die.”

“Mission objective: Obtain sufficient primordial planetary power without being detected by the planet.”

How to do this?

Shen Ye thought for a moment, then suddenly realized.

This mythical lexeme quest was activated after he achieved the title of “The Man Who Brushed Against Myth Three Times in a Row.”

The first step guided him to obtain the Hun Tian Holy Artifact.

So the second step—

Logically speaking, it should be related to the first step!

So—

Shen Ye looked up at the sky.

That moon-like ice crystal was both the Huntian Holy Artifact and the reward from the first step of the mission.

But how should this ice crystal be used?

The next moment.

The Nightblade Sword suddenly leaped from Shen Ye, flying into mid-air.

A faint resonant sound emanated from the sword body.

Shen Ye suddenly understood.

That’s right.

This sword is also a sect weapon!

What will happen now?

The ice crystal flew down onto the Nightblade Sword, merging with the long sword.

Whoosh—

The entire long sword then disintegrated, turning into countless specks of dust, swirling back and forth in mid-air, emitting a deep, frosty chill.

—like a cloud of white mist.

Shen Ye immediately felt a connection in his heart.

The long sword disintegrated, but it became even more powerful, establishing a spiritual connection with him.

“Come!”

Shen Ye waved his hand towards the ice crystal.

In an instant.

The white, frosty mist flew down, landing in Shen Ye’s hand.

A faint light quickly converged into characters:

“Guanghan.”

“Huntian Holy Artifact.”

“It gathers the powerful Huntian Taiyin origin and can be materialized into any weapon. When using Moon-system abilities, it gains the fundamental ability of the Taiyin Star:”

“Essence Extraction.”

“Description: Killing enemies allows you to extract their dharma body, turning it into the source of the realm, and replenishing yourself.”

“—Hundred streams converge, a thousand mountains form peaks, myriad methods return to the source.”

“Furthermore, when it materializes as any weapon, it still possesses the following characteristics:”

“Characteristic: Sharpness (Advanced).”

“Characteristic: Penetration (Advanced).”

“Characteristic: Bleeding (Advanced).”

“Shadow Guide: For the wielder of this sword, ‘Heavenly Shadow’ automatically increases by one rank.”

“White Moon: The wielder of this sword can sense the location of Huntian Gate items through this sword.”

“—The Holy Weapon has just awakened, collect more sect materials, and it can continue to advance!”

Shen Ye looked at these small words, and his gaze finally settled on the four words “Essence Extraction”.

So that’s how it is!

He didn’t need to go to that planet.

He just needed to kill enemies!

—The enemies sent by that planet, their power naturally comes from the primeval realm of that planet.

As long as he kills enemies, he can extract their primordial power!

Once enough is extracted, he can refine the mythical-level “True Person” attribute!

This is deception!

Good!

At this moment, he finally saw the dawn of a breakthrough in strength!

Shen Ye grabbed the cold energy, and with a thought.

The cold air immediately transformed into an ice crystal longbow.

Shen Ye, however, did not draw the bow; he clenched his hand into a fist—

The ice crystal longbow then transformed into a pair of ice gauntlets, worn on his hands.

Interesting!

Shen Ye stepped forward.

The ice gauntlets immediately dispersed into a frosty mist, settling on his legs, transforming into a pair of boots with frosted blades on their heels.

—It truly changes at will!

“Collect.”

Shen Ye uttered a command.

The boots once again transformed into frigid frost, coalescing on his finger into an ice crystal ring.

Next, all he needed to do was kill.

Shen Ye moved, flying back along the path he came.

—After all, he had been out for quite a while.

He needed to quickly return to find Xiao Mengyu and Teddy.

Meanwhile.

At the grotto.

Xiao Mengyu placed her hand on the Remnant Snow Sword, her eyes slightly closed, motionless.

Teddy was at her feet.

Suddenly.

Teddy twitched his nose and spoke in human language:

“Classmate Xiao, I smell a very foul odor.”

“—The smell is getting closer to us.”

“Good,” Xiao Mengyu said softly.

“Good?” Teddy was a bit uneasy. “Do we have any tactics for a while? I think it’s a monster, and it’s already found us.”

“Your ability is ‘Observation’—when I say ‘look’, you activate your ability,” Xiao Mengyu said.

“Understood, I’ll do a good job,” Teddy said.

Not long after.

The grotto trembled slightly.

It seemed that something was rapidly climbing up the cliff outside.

Finally—

A human-faced giant spider appeared at the entrance of the grotto.

Its six legs were covered in hairy barbs, its massive body was full of vivid patterns, and it had a human face with eight constantly moving eyes.

“What kind of monster is this!”

Teddy cried out.

Xiao Mengyu’s eyes slightly opened, pressing her hand on her sword, and whispered:

“Silence.”

—This is a Tier 1 demon spider, a human-faced venomous thorn spider.

It is extremely sensitive to sound, and by constantly listening to the enemy’s voice, it can determine the enemy’s strength.

It’s a pity that Guo Yunye was not from an aristocratic family and had not received education in monster knowledge, otherwise he would know what to do now.

But this dog has one good quality.

It listens to advice.

Teddy indeed shut its mouth and squatted obediently beside Xiao Mengyu.

The human-faced venomous thorn spider, as large as a car, slowly moved its six legs, crawling into the grotto.

Having encountered no resistance, it began to grow a little bolder, and its speed increased.

Until its body was halfway inside—

Xiao Mengyu swept her scabbard, tossing Teddy into mid-air, and with a tongue-lashing roar, she cried:

“Look!”

The dog, Teddy, was in mid-air, momentarily unsure what was happening, but it heard that word.

That word was Classmate Xiao’s signal!

I need to—

“Awooooo!”

Teddy let out a howl.

Skill activated!

The human-faced venomous thorn spider involuntarily raised its upper body slightly, and all eight of its eyes turned to look at Teddy.

Clang.

In the darkness, a dazzling sword light flashed.

The human-faced poisonous thorn spider let out a pained cry.

Its body was sliced out of the grotto, tumbling down the precipice along with its shattered limbs.
