Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 329
byIn the side hall.
The light from the jade pendant illuminated the surroundings, emanating a hazy mist.
Good stuff.
Truly good stuff.
But—
Something was off.
Something was really off.
How could there be such a treasure within the Dharma Aspect?
—_He had never known!_
Shen Ye looked at the line of descriptive text:
“…the true treasure of the Guanghan Palace…”
So this Guanghan Palace Dharma Aspect should have originally contained various treasures?
Or perhaps other secrets?
Shen Ye suddenly exited the side hall and shouted in a low voice:
“Open!”
With his shout, all the magnificent mansions and palaces, all the doors of the pavilions and main halls within the entire Dharma Aspect, swung open.
Shen Ye flew into mid-air, scanning back and forth, but found every palace chamber empty.
—_Only in that side hall, there was a floating jade pendant._
“Your Dharma Aspect has great potential.”
A cold female voice sounded.
Shen Ye turned his head to look.
Charlotte.
At this moment, she had taken over the Little Girl’s body and said:
“It’s like farming; fertile land has been prepared. As long as the seeds are sown, they can take root, sprout, and await a harvest.”
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Shen Ye.
That’s right.
This was the Dharma Aspect passed down to the Hun Tian Gate by the Tomb-Guarding Deity of the Ancient Wastelands.
And he himself had obtained the true inheritance within the Dharma Aspect—
The Hun Tian True Moon!
If this Dharma Aspect had the same style as the Grand Tomb, perhaps…
Shen Ye randomly found a main hall, flew down, and stood inside, examining it carefully.
Indeed!
The walls were covered with hidden lines, intricate and profound, making one feel dizzy just by looking at them.
—_This was identical to the various inheritances within the Grand Tomb!_
Shen Ye placed his hand on the wall, attempting to release power and activate those lines.
But—
The wall showed no reaction.
“Only the Dharma Realm can impart power and activate the operating mechanism here.”
Charlotte said.
“How do I do it?” Shen Ye asked.
This “Snake Girl” had been dealing with the Dharma Realm since she was a few years old; listening to her advice on such matters should not be wrong.
Charlotte said without hesitation, “I didn’t know your Dharma Aspect concealed such mysteries before, but now, I think we should talk about this…”
“Baxter, do you know what a Spirit of the Dharma Realm is?”
She asked.
“It’s a spirit being born from the interwoven forces of various rules, right?” Shen Ye said.
During the exam, a horse named “Feixue” had even carried him.
That horse could even use its own skills, which were incredibly powerful.
It was a Spirit of the Dharma Realm.
“The Dharma Realm is the origin of all rules and power, and the Spirit of the Dharma Realm is its own child.”
Charlotte continued:
“Keep contributing to the Dharma Realm, just like before. If you can free the deceased Spirit of the Dharma Realm from its shackles here, the Dharma Realm will thank you again.”
“By then, I will ask the Dharma Realm with you.”
Shen Ye’s spirits lifted.
Charlotte’s resonance with the Dharma Realm must be an incredibly high number.
With her help, there shouldn’t be a problem.
“Alright… I’ll try to get another dead Spirit of the Dharma Realm… but we also need to remember to send the rabbit to the research institute.” Shen Ye shrugged.
“Shall we go?” Charlotte.
“Let’s go!” Shen Ye.
He put away the jade pendant called “Liumi Moon” and then pushed open the door.
—_The two moved in sync._
The little girl stepped into the door.
On the eerie street.
The shop assistant, who had been laughing foolishly, suddenly felt completely filled.
“Thank goodness! You’re finally back!”
It was overjoyed.
“Have you just been spaced out here?” Shen Ye asked.
“No way! I tried to enter that room just now, but a shadow kicked me out.” The shop assistant said.
That’s a problem.
“We need to get to the institute quickly; we must go through those buildings,” the Little Girl said.
“They won’t let me pass,” the shop assistant said.
“…Try another way.”
“What way?”
“Throw a rock and break their window.”
“Big brother, I’ll die.”
“How do you know if you don’t try? How about this, I’ll set up a door on the ground, and if they try to kill you, you can escape through the door. How does that sound?” The Little Girl said.
“…If it means escaping, I might as well try.”
The shop assistant secretly walked over, hid behind a sheet of iron, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it hard at the house.
_Smash!_
The window glass was indeed shattered.
Several shadows immediately rushed out of the room, heading straight for the shop assistant.
Seeing that things were not good, the shop assistant didn’t even think about fighting, turned around and ran.
At this moment.
The Little Girl hid behind the iron sheet.
When the shadows chased the shop assistant far away—
The Little Girl immediately got up, rushed into the house, and went up to the second floor via the stairs.
The shop assistant, however, was so scared that it lunged forward, falling through the door and disappearing.
The shadows lost their target, stood still for a while, and then dispersed to search.
They couldn’t find anything.
They had no choice but to retreat resentfully into the house.
One of the shadows went up the stairs, chasing from behind, and was about to catch up with the Little Girl.
Knowing the urgency of the situation, the Little Girl no longer explored forward, but lightly jumped, landing on the ceiling.
She stealthily opened the ventilation duct and crawled inside.
The jade pendant at her waist glowed faintly.
She squatted there in the vent, waiting quietly.
The monster passed through the corridor without noticing her presence at all.
“If it doesn’t see you, it won’t find you!”
The monster’s senses couldn’t detect the Little Girl at all.
—_Unless it saw her!_
On the corridor.
The monster gradually moved away.
The Little Girl waited for a while longer, then simply crawled along the ventilation duct.
Before long.
A fork in the road appeared ahead.
“Pe’a Suo.”
“Hmm… it’s better for us to go left. The right side is an empty room with nothing in it.”
“Okay.”
The Little Girl crawled into the left passage and continued forward.
After about seven or eight minutes.
She suddenly stopped moving.
“What’s wrong?”
Shen Ye sprang out of her body, asking.
Pe’a Suo said:
“They used the power of the Dharma Realm to create an infallible weapon, one for each person, to enhance their defense.”
“What kind of weapon?” Shen Ye asked.
“It was inspired by human firearms. Each shot possesses three laws: ‘infallible hit’, ‘spell prohibition’, and ‘immobilization’, and it also comes with extremely strong elemental damage,” Pe’a Suo said.
“That’s too strong,” Shen Ye gasped.
“Originally, this combined Dharma Aspect and this kind of weapon were meant to deal with the power of the great tribulation, but now it’s specifically being used against me,” the Little Girl said with a sneer.
“Should we steal one?” Shen Ye asked.
“No, only these Dharma Aspect monsters can use them,” the Little Girl said.
Shen Ye fell into contemplation.
Since the opponent had such weapons, they couldn’t get into a protracted fight.
It would be best to decide the outcome in one go.
“I’ll leave the rest to you, be careful,” the Little Girl said.
“Okay!” Shen Ye synchronized with her again.
The Little Girl continued to crawl forward.
Soon.
The pipe reached its end.
There was no more way ahead.
The Little Girl looked down through the ventilation holes in the middle of the pipe.
Below, in the large warehouse, a group of dark shadows had gathered.
These dark shadows had humanoid forms, but their facial features were all scrambled, and a faint black mist emanated from their bodies, making them very eerie.
They guarded a large box over three meters tall.
Each monster held a long black firearm, somewhat resembling a crude hunting rifle.
But Pe’a Suo had already warned him.
Shen Ye would not be careless.
If they unleashed a volley, he wouldn’t even be able to move and would be at their mercy.
—_Absolutely no group fights, especially not when it’s everyone against him._
He had to think of something…
She squatted in the ventilation shaft, thinking for a moment, then suddenly reached behind her.
In the Dharma Aspect.
On a certain tree in the small forest.
A black title was plucked down and pulled out of the Dharma Aspect.
The Little Girl held the “Despicable Substitute” and once again meticulously examined its description.
“Description: As long as the entry exists, you will be despised, cursed, and given a hard time by those around you.”
Would this work on monsters?
Let’s try!
The Little Girl threw the title down through the ventilation shaft.
The title randomly landed on a black monster, instantly appearing above its head.
The monster was completely unaware.
“What do you plan to do?”
Charlotte asked.
“Make them ostracize it, bully it. When it can’t take it anymore, it will leave alone, and that’s when we’ll have our chance to take it down,” Shen Ye said.
“You’re eyeing that big box, aren’t you?”
“Yes.”
“But that’s too dangerous.”
“It’s okay, killing them one by one is safer—this tactic is called ‘luring monsters’.”
“Luring monsters…” Charlotte was a little confused.
“Exactly, this is a method summarized by countless predecessors, trust me,” Shen Ye said.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
A monster nearby suddenly jumped up and kicked the black monster that had received the title.
The black monster immediately let out a string of “gibberish,” seeming very displeased.
However, another companion kicked it.
The black monster’s voice grew even more indignant. It grabbed the other with both hands, its voice growing louder, like a roar.
However, a third companion kicked its back, making it stumble and fall to the ground.
The fourth companion spat out black saliva.
It landed on him.
The fifth followed with a kick.
_Thud!_
This kick sent the black monster flying, crashing hard against the wall.
The wall cracked.
The black monster took a long time to get back up, lying on the ground, groaning a few times.
—_It seemed a bit bewildered._
The surrounding monsters encircled it, punching and kicking it, growing more violent with each blow, until—
_Bang._
A gunshot.
Followed by continuous gunshots.
The black monster had fired!
Monsters fell one after another.
However, some monsters that reacted immediately raised their guns and returned fire.
The gunshots echoed back and forth for about seven or eight seconds.
The last monster fell.
Total annihilation.
“…” Shen Ye.
“…” Charlotte.
“This is called ‘luring monsters’, it’s amazing,” she said sincerely.
“No, this should be called ‘anti-bullying’, but I didn’t expect such hot-blooded events to happen among monsters,” Shen Ye said.
He synchronized with her, opened the ventilation shaft, jumped down, and then smoothly pulled out the Hongying Blade to cut open the three-meter-tall box.
Inside the box, a glowing dolphin was trapped, its entire body wrapped in special sealing ropes, preventing it from breaking free.
“Spirit of the Dharma Realm! Alive!”
The Little Girl exclaimed excitedly.
“Yes, child, quickly save me, and I will repay you!” The dolphin spoke in human language.
The Little Girl jumped onto the dolphin’s back, cut the sealing ropes with her knife, and replied:
“No need for repayment, the Dharma Realm will answer my call.”
“The Dharma Realm? Its response to you is vague—child, if you save me, I can make the Dharma Realm fully understand your needs!” the dolphin said.
“You’re that amazing?” The Little Girl said casually.
“Of course, I have special talents,” the dolphin said proudly.
Talent!
Big Skeleton’s talent was to become whatever it ate.
Song Yinchen’s talent was to resonate with the universe and draw cosmic source power.
“What’s your talent?”
The Little Girl asked with interest.
“Guess what you like,” the dolphin said.
“…I’m going to ‘reject similar recommendations’!” The Little Girl grumbled.
“Really, this is a law of causality—in many ancient legends, beings who save a Spirit of the Dharma Realm receive ‘wish fulfillment’ type rewards.”
“Save me, and I can activate ‘Guess what you like’ to have the Dharma Realm repay my gratitude for me!” the dolphin said.
Hmm.
It seems there are indeed many such legends… even on Earth…
The Little Girl said no more, speeding up and wielding the Hongying Blade.
Soon.
All the sealing ropes were cut.
The dolphin leaped up, circled gracefully in mid-air, and let out joyful chirps.
“Your name, girl,” it called.
“Charlotte,” Shen Ye said.
“Okay, Charlotte, the Dharma Realm detects that multiple souls are sharing your body, so you will receive a verification message pushed by the Dharma Realm. Please read it to me,” the dolphin said.
“…Bananas are delicious,” Charlotte said.
“Verification passed!”
The dolphin landed, winking at the Little Girl:
“I am now bound to you—call me when you need help.”
“My name is Asino. After completing the causality, I can travel through the Dharma Realm with you anytime!”
Its body shot forward, sinking into the Dharma Realm and disappearing.
—_Leaving behind only the corpses of monsters._
“…” Shen Ye.
“…” Charlotte.
“Today’s events are rather strange, yes, strange,” Shen Ye said.
“Agreed,” Charlotte said.
“I need to call Big Skeleton over right away!” Shen Ye exclaimed.
On the other side.
The shop assistant sat on the floor of the Panda Detective Agency, still wincing in pain.
He had charged too quickly earlier, falling through the door and landing on his bottom, his pelvis hitting the ground, causing sharp pain.
Fortunately, the door had disappeared.
The monsters were blocked outside and couldn’t charge in.
The shop assistant turned back into Big Skeleton, covering his butt and complaining:
“See? They almost killed me!”
No response.
Huh?
Where were Shen Ye and the Little Girl?
Big Skeleton was momentarily bewildered and called out, “Hey? Where are you guys?”
Still no response.
But a door opened.
Big Skeleton jumped in and found himself in Shen Ye’s Dharma Aspect.
The Four Kings sat on the city wall, basking in the moonlight.
“Can I rest for a while now?”
Big Skeleton was about to join them when the door opened again, and the Little Girl beckoned with a finger from across.
“Still going? Let me declare first, I’m not luring monsters this time.”
Big Skeleton said righteously.
Shen Ye tossed her the jade pendant.
“Wear it, and if they don’t see you, they won’t find you.”
“Wow, good stuff.”
“Come on, we need your strength!”
“…Hmph, for the sake of this jade pendant.”
Big Skeleton jumped through the door, put on the jade tablet, and instantly vanished into the shadows.
Then it noticed the corpses on the ground.
“Honestly, these black figures seem full of negative energy. Just being chased by them made me depressed for a while.”
Big Skeleton sighed.
“You don’t want to eat them?” The Little Girl asked.
“No, they’re safe here. My shop assistant self was the anomaly—I wish I could turn into them right now,” Big Skeleton said.
It squatted down, found a random corpse, cut a small piece with a knife, and slowly began to eat.
Before long.
Big Skeleton finished its meal, stood up from the ground, and with a flash—
It transformed into a black humanoid figure, over two meters tall.
“Let’s go!”
The black figure threw back its clothes, revealing a double-door ribcage inside.
The Little Girl jumped in.
The black figure closed its ribcage door, smoothed its clothes, and walked out of the warehouse.
Although the Little Girl was hidden inside its body, her gaze seemed to penetrate the Dharma Realm, seeing the location in the real world.
The black figure then ran swiftly through this terrifying and grotesque Dharma Aspect city, guided by the Little Girl’s directions.
“Almost there!”
The Little Girl shouted.
“Which way now?” the black figure asked.
“Run 300 meters to the left.”
“Okay.”
“Then 500 meters straight ahead.”
“Then to the left.”
“Yes, you can stop here.”
“Are you sure this is the place?” the black figure asked.
“Yes—Baxter, it’s your turn,” Charlotte said.
Shen Ye then synchronized with Charlotte, controlled his body, and instantly burst out of the Dharma Aspect, falling to stand on firm ground.
The black figure followed and landed.
This was a dormitory.
Empty.
Charlotte recalled:
“These dorms were just cleaned up, and we were supposed to stay here tonight.”
“The people who cleaned this place have already left, and the administrator hasn’t arrived yet.”
“So our appearance here is relatively safe.”
The Little Girl, without a word, pulled out the rabbit doll and stuffed it into an empty wardrobe.
The rabbit immediately made a sound:
“Connecting to the network.”
“Just a moment—”
The Little Girl had no choice but to stand there and wait.
“Hey, can you take down that AI? If you take it down, I guess we’ll win, right?”
She said.
“Do you think I don’t want to? My entire database was lost, and now I need to pick it up piece by piece and upgrade the algorithm.” The rabbit’s tone seemed filled with resentment.
“At least control this research institute,” the Little Girl requested.
“I’ll do my best,” the rabbit said.
The matter was settled.
Suddenly, the rabbit spoke again:
“Alright, I’ve hacked into this research institute’s network and uploaded myself to the database. You all can leave with the rabbit doll now.”
A look of joy appeared on the Little Girl’s face.
The research institute was under control!
This way, the children wouldn’t be wiped out immediately upon arrival.
“It wasn’t a wasted effort after all. I’m going back.”
“Okay, I’ll evolve for a while. When you get to the institute, we’ll communicate again.”
“Alright.”
The Little Girl was about to step into the Dharma Realm when she suddenly remembered something and shouted:
“Asino!”
The void stirred.
A dolphin appeared.
“Hi, I’m free!” The dolphin swam around happily.
“Is Dharma Realm travel a fish thing?” The Little Girl asked.
“Innate instinct! Tell me, where do you want to go?”
“I actually have something that might trouble you.”
The Little Girl gently stroked the dolphin’s head.
The next moment.
The real world suddenly disappeared.
The Little Girl, the black figure, and the dolphin appeared together in the Dharma Aspect of Guanghan Palace.
The dolphin was startled and couldn’t help but cry out:
“What! How can you move us around so casually, and even put us inside the Dharma Aspect!”
“Just talent,” the Little Girl said.
The dolphin rolled its eyes, swam into mid-air, and carefully examined the Guanghan Palace.
“…This Dharma Aspect seems very ancient, and you’ve obtained its true inheritance. Tell me, how do you want me to help you?”
It asked.
“Tell the Dharma Realm that I want to activate the hidden power of this Dharma Aspect,” Shen Ye said.
—Earlier, Charlotte had said “free the deceased Spirit of the Dharma Realm from its shackles,” but he had saved a living one!
And this living one could “guess what you like.”
Plus Charlotte’s help—
This time, he had to activate the power of the Dharma Aspect!
“So that’s it… Such a powerful Dharma Aspect, if it can awaken, it must have boundless prospects!”
The dolphin exclaimed with emotion.
“We will help him together,” Charlotte said.
“Okay!”
The dolphin stopped motionless in mid-air, its entire body emitting special fluctuations, scattering into the endless void.
The blank space beyond the Dharma Aspect became increasingly dazzling.
The power of the Dharma Realm was growing!
Charlotte seized the opportunity and cried out:
“Come! As a reward for saving the Spirit of the Dharma Realm, we ask for nothing—”
“We only wish for this Dharma Aspect to be activated!”
“It needs to reclaim the power and glory it once possessed!”
Endless white light surged overwhelming.
They poured into Shen Ye’s Dharma Aspect, beginning to change everything.
The magnificent mansions and palaces bathed in the light of the Dharma Realm.
The lines that were originally hidden on the walls seemed to come alive, rapidly changing, dissolving, and reorganizing.
Two lines of faint luminous text quickly appeared:
“With the boundless power of the Dharma Realm, awaken the ultimate inheritance of the Immortal Kingdom to face the immeasurable tribulation.”
“Your Dharma Aspect is ready.”
