Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 274

Underground lake.

Everyone had evacuated.

Only Shen Ye and Xu Xingke remained, still conversing.

“Teacher, how are things on the surface?”

“The security system was poisoned and paralyzed, but fortunately, the opponent’s targets were the three major high schools and top experts, so ordinary people are mostly safe.”

“Security system paralyzed? Is Kunlun having problems?” Shen Ye asked, surprised.

“Not Kunlun.”

Xu Xingke gestured.

The睚眦 mythical beast lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth, almost unable to move.

“What’s wrong with it?” Shen Ye asked.

“It was poisoned and will take a long time to recover,” Xu Xingke said, crossing his arms.

Shen Ye took a few seconds to react before understanding.

“So it’s our world’s security system?”

“That’s right. As long as it’s in good condition, any external attack will be repelled. So, when the enemy invaded, they first paralyzed it,” Xu Xingke said.

Shen Ye didn’t know what to say, so he went straight to the point:

“…Chaos Spirit Light doesn’t seem to be on our side, Teacher.”

Xu Xingke’s expression remained unchanged as he continued, “It has never been on our side.”

“—Spirit Light and our way of thinking are different. It has lived for eons and is incredibly powerful, so ordinary people dare not question the Song family’s affairs.”

“Otherwise, Song Qingyun’s plan would have been exposed long ago.”

“It said I died?” Shen Ye asked.

“Yes—you don’t have to believe it anymore.”

“Yes, Teacher.”

Shen Ye thought for a moment and then recounted everything that happened deep inside the tomb.

Xu Xingke tossed his cigarette butt on the ground, gently crushing it with his foot, then looked up at the tall black rock ceiling, as if he could see through them to the outside.

He just quietly listened to Shen Ye’s detailed narration.

Until Shen Ye finished speaking.

Xu Xingke stretched, then said:

“I haven’t really given you many lessons yet, but I observed your fight with The Skinner. Since we’re meeting now, I’ll talk to you about it.”

“You found the secret to activating the Northeast Divine Fist. I’ve already applied for intellectual property rights for you. From now on, anyone who wants to learn this boxing style and master the secret of its variations will have to pay a fee.”

“Thank you, Teacher!”

“Hmm, now for my advice—you first start activating the boxing style.”

“Okay, Teacher, what are you looking at?”

“What are you doing when I look at you?”

“Try looking again?”

“Try it then!”

Shen Ye’s fists glowed with golden light.

Unlike before, this time, the golden glow on his hands was darker, more introverted, and more concentrated.

—Dark Gold level (Incomparable)!

This was much stronger than the previous Gold level (Legendary).

“Huh? I remember it wasn’t this powerful before.”

Xu Xingke was surprised.

“Teacher, I’m at the third realm of the Dharma Realm now, and my resonance has also increased a lot.”

“That should be due to the resonance. Alright, now attack the rock next to us.”

“Yes!”

Shen Ye threw a punch.

Boom—

The huge rock shattered directly, turning into stones of various sizes that scattered into the lake.

“Do you understand?” Xu Xingke asked.

“I understand,” Shen Ye said excitedly.

The power of this punch hasn’t diminished!

From now on, when he fights, he can first find a friend to recite the activation incantation for the Northeast Divine Fist, then go into battle, and the power won’t decrease!

“Wow, I didn’t even think of that!” Shen Ye exclaimed.

“Remember, skills are static; they only sense if you’ve met certain conditions to activate their mysteries.”

“Understood, thank you, Teacher.”

Xu Xingke glanced at the top of Shen Ye’s head, a rare look of admiration on his face.

“There’s something else you need to remember.”

“Please tell me, Teacher.”

“The Dharma Realm doesn’t conjure a ‘Name’ out of thin air based on people’s wishes—only when you are worthy of a certain ‘Name’ will it recognize you and grant you the corresponding ‘Name’.”

Shen Ye’s heart trembled, feeling a sudden enlightenment.

—”Names” cannot be sought.

That is so true.

And what level and effect the “Diligent Person” on his teacher’s head had, he had no idea.

Perhaps when his door abilities improve in the future, he can figure it out?

Xu Xingke continued:

“Your new ‘Name’ is quite good, very high-level. I bet there isn’t another ‘Name’ like it in the whole world.”

“It seems the Dharma Realm approved of everything you did in the tomb. You should make good use of this ‘Name’.”

“Yes, Teacher!”

Shen Ye was almost in tears.

—It wasn’t easy!

To have the teacher instruct him so much, with a hint of admiration—

He finally had a decent trait!

“Oh, by the way, can you hide your ‘Name’? Yours is too conspicuous and will make many people with spiritual sight wary,” Xu Xingke said.

“What did you see, Teacher?” Shen Ye asked curiously.

Xu Xingke looked at his head and said:

“A Taoist-dressed fellow, holding a sniper rifle, aiming around, as if ready to take someone out at any moment.”

“…That definitely needs to be hidden,” Shen Ye said.

He retracted what he said earlier.

This trait really didn’t present a positive image.

He’d try to hide it with the power of the Lifeless Lord—

“Teacher, can you still see it?” Shen Ye asked uneasily.

“Alright, all your traits are hidden now.”

Xu Xingke nodded with satisfaction.

“Thank you for your guidance, Teacher,” Shen Ye said.

—This was truly guidance.

How could anyone else receive such careful instruction from Xu Xingke?

Xu Xingke waved his hand at Shen Ye, turned around, and walked back.

He pulled a card from his pocket, and messages densely covered the card, refreshing furiously.

“You should rest for now. I’ll explain what happened to you to the outside world.”

“I’m going to be swamped tonight—if you hadn’t told me all this, I might have had time to watch a movie.”

“Sorry, Teacher!” Shen Ye quickly apologized.

“It’s fine. If you hadn’t told me, things would have gotten much worse—see you tomorrow. If I have time tomorrow, I’ll talk to you about something else.”

Xu Xingke’s figure flashed and he flew away.

He passed through the opened tunnel and flew up towards the top of the towering cliff.

This student he took was really good.

Even the gods died, but he didn’t.

—He even made Chaos Spirit Light misjudge.

Sword Maiden’s discernment was also good.

If only there were more capable people like them in the world.

By the underground river.

Shen Ye didn’t have anything urgent to do, but he had also had enough of being in the tomb.

He replied to messages from a few close classmates on the playing cards, then flew out along the path Xu Xingke had taken.

Soon he reached the surface.

Xirang High School was already razed to the ground.

However, the world of ordinary people outside remained unchanged.

—The enemy’s invasion seemed to target only specific individuals, so the lives of ordinary people were not greatly affected.

He returned to the real world, standing on the street outside.

Public opinion was still quite strong.

Walking on the road, almost everyone was discussing the huge planet in the sky.

A new message suddenly appeared on the playing cards:

“Xirang High School issues emergency disbandment order.”

“All students must immediately leave the school premises, disperse, and return to their homes, or go to the three major organizations.”

“No one is allowed to remain on campus!”

“The start of the new semester will be announced separately.”

Shen Ye couldn’t help but shake his head.

It was actually quite ironic—

Initially, for safety, everyone was gathered in the three major high schools.

Who knew that the most dangerous place was precisely the three major high schools.

Now the school buildings were razed to the ground.

Where could one even file a complaint?

The start of school was indefinitely postponed.

Shen Ye first called his parents to assure them of his safety.

As soon as the call ended, messages popped up one after another.

Nangong Sirui invited him to be a guest at the Nangong family.

Xiao Mengyu had returned to her family.

She said her ancestors had called her back, and she might use the school closure period to go into seclusion and contemplate swordsmanship for a while.

Zhang Xiaoyi and Guo Yunye were in an internet cafe on another street, planning to play all night.

Tomorrow, they would return to the Eternal Technology Alliance.

The Alliance would temporarily be responsible for training them for a period until the school announced its reopening.

Just then, Shen Ye’s phone rang.

Qian Rushan!

“Hello, Old Qian.” Shen Ye answered the phone.

“Your parents are safe, the attack didn’t target civilians. They don’t even know aliens have been here, so don’t worry,” Qian Rushan’s voice came through the receiver.

“Thank you.”

“I’ll come pick you up in a bit. You can stay in the Human Martial Arts Building in Yujing until Xirang reopens.”

“Don’t bother. I’m not a child, and besides, I have plans to eat with a friend. I’ll come over myself after I’m done.”

“Alright then, give me a call when you arrive.”

“Okay.”

The call ended.

It seemed he would be sleeping at the Human Martial Arts Group building in Yujing City tonight.

A faint glow quietly emerged, appearing as small text:

“Your ocular technique: Soul Slaying has completed its advancement.”

“In the third realm of the Dharma Realm, your Dharma form has gained the Round Moon Frost Fire, becoming more powerful, and will be unleashed through your ocular technique.”

“Congratulations.”

“Your ocular technique has merged with your Dharma form, advancing to:”

“Divine Demon Dual Slayer.”

“Description: Unleash the Unfathomable Dharma Form, temporarily capturing the enemy’s soul into the Guanghan Palace; the enemy’s body will be scorched by frost fire, crystallized on the outside, burning within, forming an explosive force.”

“—Slaying gods and demons, invincible among heroes.”

“—An irresistible moonlit technique.”

Hiss!

Shen Ye gasped when he saw this power.

—This time, it wasn’t just capturing souls; it was also blowing up people’s bodies.

Who could withstand that!

He truly wished for world peace. Everyone should just leave him alone, otherwise, if he lost control, even he would be scared!

At this moment, the Sect Master’s Sacred Tome jumped out, automatically flipping to a certain page.

Shen Ye focused, and this page was filled with various weapons.

Lines of small text appeared on the page:

“You have reached the third realm of the Dharma Realm.”

“The Unfathomable Gate’s basic cultivation technique: Frost Moon Shocking Heaven can no longer meet the demands of higher-level combat.”

“From this level onwards, you can begin to attempt to take on a second profession.”

“Method of taking on a profession:”

“Stand surrounded by all the sect’s weapons, perform all your attack methods, until a weapon that aligns with your disposition actively falls into your hand.”

“Please attempt to take on a profession when you are in your best state.”

“—Every inheritor of the Unfathomable Gate is a versatile combat expert.”

A second profession…

Shen Ye thought about it carefully, but felt there was no rush to take on a profession right now.

He’d consider it later when he had free time.

Currently, he had some important matters at hand that he needed to seize the opportunity and complete as quickly as possible.

Like what he needed to do right now—

He opened a door and stepped inside.
