Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 383
byThe door opened.
Shen Ye dared not enter.
Every sealed place was extremely terrifying, like the one where he obtained the Wordless Book last time.
Those layers of powerful seals would completely trap a person.
But Yun Ni was on the verge of death.
“Her mind demon has taken over. If we don’t seal her power, the mind demon will directly control her, kill everything around her until she dies of exhaustion.”
Tu Fusheng urged.
Shen Ye knew he was right, so he helped Yun Ni, using a clever force with his hand.
Yun Ni flew into the door and gently landed on the ground.
A heavy black iron coffin suddenly appeared in the originally calm room, and instantly enveloped Yun Ni.
Shen Ye saw long, sharp spikes inside the coffin.
If someone were thrown in there, wouldn’t they be directly impaled all over?
Tu Fusheng, however, rejoiced, saying,
“Good! This seal is strong! Even the mind demon will be restrained by the torment of pain. Her life is saved.”
The coffin lid slowly closed.
The surface of the entire coffin was covered with dense sealing runes, which flashed several times, then muffled Yun Ni’s screams.
“…Will she hate me?” Shen Ye sighed.
“No need to worry. As a great practitioner, if she can’t even distinguish right from wrong, then there’s no need to cultivate,” Tu Fusheng commented sagely.
Shen Ye glanced at him indifferently.
Only then did Tu Fusheng remember that he had almost killed him before, and awkwardly said, “But sometimes people can be confused.”
Shen Ye was about to speak when a contract appeared before his eyes.
It was Yun Ni’s contract with him!
He saw that the content of the contract had been altered:
“With this life-saving grace, all restraints are removed, and the contract content begins to update.”
“Please check the contract again after ten minutes.”
“This contract has been signed by you and Yun Ni. Once it is completed again, it will take effect.”
Check in ten minutes!
What exactly did Yun Ni change?
Shen Ye didn’t have time to wait idly, so he put away the contract, closed the sealed door, and opened his Dharma Form again.
Within the Dharma Form, the wood dragon, fire dragon, and priest were still fighting the giant lizard.
Three against one, and they were still at a disadvantage.
Shen Ye couldn’t help but click his tongue.
This test was really difficult, no wonder few people had passed it since ancient times.
He grabbed the Broad Cold Bow from the void, drew another Taiyin Divine Arrow, and nocked it—
Dark Gold level archery, Star Edge!
The arrow pierced through the clouds, crossed planes into the Dharma Form, and instantly transformed into thirty-six streaks of cold light.
Upon seeing the arrows, the giant lizard immediately went mad.
It abandoned the priest, knocked aside the wood dragon, endured the fire dragon’s flaming breath, and swung its long tail, attempting to scatter all the arrows.
—It absolutely couldn’t allow the opponent to summon more helpers!
As the giant lizard moved, Shen Ye also moved.
He directly activated “Meet at the Jade Terrace Under the Moonlight,” throwing Tu Fusheng into the Dharma Form, landing directly in front of the giant lizard.
The old man also reacted quickly, immediately laughing loudly,
“Only now do you know fear?”
Although he was laughing, he couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his eyes as he watched the giant lizard’s fierce tail swing.
If he took this blow from the giant lizard head-on, he wouldn’t feel good either.
But there was an overseer watching from behind.
For the sake of his life—
The old man roared, his muscles ripping through his clothes, his aura constantly rising to its peak, and he struck a punch at the giant lizard.
Boom!
Invisible shockwaves spread in all directions.
The old man screamed, was sent flying, and crashed into the ground, creating a deep pit.
The giant lizard was unharmed, but it had missed the best opportunity to block the Taiyin Divine Arrows.
It shook its head and wagged its tail, rolling continuously at a speed that surpassed Shen Ye’s imagination, knocking down arrow after arrow.
But in the end, two arrows still struck it.
Boom—
Taiyin Demonic Command activated!
The void opened.
A one-horned black snake emerged, charging straight at the giant lizard.
The black horn on its head let out a sharp, ear-piercing shriek that pierced the void. Its power was so intense that both dragons and the priest retreated to avoid its edge.
—This was a Nether Serpent Demon at the peak of the ninth layer of the Dharma Realm!
The giant lizard dared not be careless, opening its mouth and spitting out a scorching beam of energy.
The Nether Serpent Demon did not dodge at all, charging directly into the energy beam, seemingly wanting to impale the giant lizard in one fell swoop.
The giant lizard swelled all over, increasing the output of its energy beam.
Finally.
At the last moment, the Nether Serpent Demon was struck by the light beam and slightly deflected.
The giant lizard immediately flipped and landed, narrowly avoiding the spike, hitting the ground with a “dong” sound.
—Now, the two dragons, the priest, the serpent demon, and Tu Fusheng were all attacking it simultaneously!
If this continued, it would eventually lose.
The giant lizard also realized this, and suddenly turned its head, looking towards the void.
Its gaze seemed to penetrate the world barrier, and it instantly saw Shen Ye still standing on the dead planet.
Shen Ye unhesitatingly teleported to the Nightmare World.
Marquis’s mansion.
He stood in the hall, holding his breath and waiting for the giant lizard’s next move.
Just now, across the world, the giant lizard had met his eyes directly, clearly able to see him.
How did it do that?
Come on.
If you also have a cross-world attack ability—
In the Dharma Form.
The giant lizard suddenly leaped out of the battle circle and lunged with all its might towards Shen Ye’s direction.
Shen Ye directly activated another profession skill.
—Netherworld Intimidation!
“You can transform into a Netherworld body, take no damage for 3 seconds, and absorb vitality from enemies to replenish yourself (once every ten minutes).”
He saw his entire body transform into a glowing phantom, instantly detaching from the real world, and disappearing into nothingness.
The entire Marquis’s Mansion was crushed by a colossal being.
The giant lizard!
It had actually penetrated the Dharma Form and descended into the Nightmare World!
Boom! Boom! Boom—
A sound like beating drums echoed.
Sparkling specks of light flew from its body, merged into the void, and landed on Shen Ye.
The giant lizard’s life force was being absorbed!
Three seconds passed.
Shen Ye directly switched himself into the Immortal Kingdom Dharma Form, once again drew the Broad Cold Bow, and locked onto the giant lizard still in the Nightmare World.
Star Edge!
Thirty-six streaks of starlight-like Taiyin arrows cut through the world barrier, shooting towards the giant lizard.
The giant lizard let out a ferocious roar.
With its full-power attack, it wasn’t difficult for it to avoid being hit by these arrows.
But—
Shen Ye reached out and pressed into the void, shouting,
“Go.”
Future Entry, Meet at the Jade Terrace Under the Moonlight!
Deactivate!
The wood dragon, fire dragon, priest, snake demon, and Tu Fusheng, who were originally in the Immortal Kingdom Dharma Form, were all expelled and silently appeared in the Nightmare World.
“Remarkable.”
Tu Fusheng sighed sincerely, his hands like knives, striking a blow at the giant lizard from a distance.
All attacks arrived in an instant.
A glint of cunning appeared in the giant lizard’s eyes. Its figure flickered, and it retreated back into the Immortal Kingdom Dharma Form.
It moved.
Everything moved with it.
Whether it was the thirty-six Taiyin arrows filling the sky, or Tu Fusheng and the others, they were all moved into the Dharma Form.
Conversely.
Shen Ye had switched himself back to the Nightmare World.
He stood on the ruins of the Marquis’s mansion, holding his breath and resting, waiting for the next opportunity to activate the Taiyin Demonic Command.
The giant lizard could no longer escape.
It barely fended off the attacks from Tu Fusheng and others, while also having to knock down arrow after arrow.
Another arrow struck it.
Boom—
The void opened.
A dark fallen angel of the ninth layer of the Dharma Realm descended.
“Gang up? I like it.”
The dark fallen angel said with interest.
“Stop!” the giant lizard roared.
All the ghost gods fell silent, as if waiting for a signal.
“Beat it until it’s half dead and then talk,” Shen Ye said.
Dragons began to roar, priests chanted spells, demon snakes flicked their tongues, and angels sang.
—Tu Fusheng laughed and adopted an aggressive stance.
Now the giant lizard got anxious.
“You’re shameless! You brought an entire legion to the test from the start, and then you summoned so many helpers!”
It jumped up, shouting at the void.
“Can’t I?” Shen Ye asked.
The giant lizard choked.
“Beat it!” Shen Ye commanded.
Just as everyone was about to make their move, they saw the giant lizard lunge out of the Dharma Form, instantly passing through the world barrier.
This trick again!
“Go back!” Shen Ye activated the entry, throwing it back again.
“Beat it again!” he shouted.
Everyone immediately made their move—
“Stop! You’ve passed the test!” the giant lizard cried out, and with a “snap” in mid-air, it transformed into a ring.
At the same time.
Lines of shimmering small text refreshed wildly before Shen Ye’s eyes:
“You have passed the test.”
“You have obtained the qualification to inherit the great three techniques of the Supreme Immortal Kingdom.”
“Current identity token obtained:”
“Secret Guardian Ring of the Immortal Kingdom.”
“Wearing this ring will open the path to heaven.”
“If you can complete all the inheritance requirements on the path to heaven, you can obtain one of the three techniques of the Immortal Kingdom:”
“Tongtian Technique.”
The ring seemed to sense something, and instantly pierced through the world barrier, landing in Shen Ye’s hand.
Shen Ye fixed his gaze on it, and saw that the ring was a grayish-white lizard with its head and tail intertwined. When he looked at it, it also opened its vertical pupils and stared back at him.
—Secret Guardian Ring of the Immortal Kingdom!
Shen Ye put it on his finger.
The next second.
The ring instantly became illusory, turning into a shadow that couldn’t be seen.
Small shimmering text appeared accordingly:
“A divine object conceals itself; this ring has entered stealth mode to prevent anyone from seeing it and thus bringing unforeseen bloodshed upon you.”
“Currently wearing the Secret Guardian Ring of the Immortal Kingdom.”
“Entering the path of inheritance.”
“Exclusive named quest initiated:”
“Please cultivate any cultivation civilization’s technique, train it to an introductory level, to help you become a practitioner of the cultivation path.”
“Quest rewards:”
“Upon completion, you will obtain the initial entry of the Tongtian Technique.”
Shen Ye read it silently.
—This shouldn’t be difficult.
Just find a cultivation technique to practice.
This matter was finally settled.
He was about to inherit one of the three techniques of the Immortal Kingdom!
Shen Ye was elated for a moment, so he entered his Dharma Form and waved at the summoned ghost gods:
“Thank you all! The battle is over, please return.”
The ghost gods watched the ring tear through the air, and then Shen Ye reappeared in his Dharma Form. How could they not understand the situation?
They communicated silently for a while, then the priest stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said:
“Oh inheritor of the Immortal Kingdom.”
“Our only advice is—”
“Continue to improve your profession. You need a stronger Immortal Kingdom profession to survive the challenges ahead.”
“Is that so? I’ll remember that. Thank you all.” Shen Ye cupped his hands in return.
Seeing that he had taken their words to heart, the ghost gods retreated and vanished into the void.
Shen Ye wiggled his finger and found that he indeed couldn’t see the ring, which put him at ease. He then began to think about other matters.
“Has Yun Ni’s contract been revised?”
He summoned the Sealed Door and opened it to look inside.
The coffin was still tightly closed.
But the contract appeared on the coffin, flew back and forth for a while, then suddenly rushed out of the Sealed Door and landed in Shen Ye’s hand.
The content of the contract had completely changed:
“You have saved my life, so our contract will no longer harm you.”
“Do one last thing for me, Shen Ye.”
“—Go to the Taishang Dao Palace, destroy the statue standing before the Dao Palace. That is the hidden pivot of the Dao Palace’s mountain-protecting array.”
“Once you accomplish this, you will inherit all the Daoist treasures left behind after my death.”
“To attack the statue, use this item!”
A palm-sized demon-subduing pestle flew down and displayed its attributes in Shen Ye’s hand:
“Array-Breaking Holy Pestle.”
“Holy Item (Gold Legend Grade).”
“Specifically breaks all great arrays of the Taishang Dao Palace, breaks all defensive barriers, and breaks all seals.”
“—Embedded with an inter-universe teleportation array, when activated, it can reach the Taishang Dao Palace directly, penetrate all great arrays, and sweep straight to the location of the statue.”
What to do?
Shen Ye looked at the demon-subduing pestle in his hand.
—He had already signed the contract, so he had to do this next.
Otherwise, the curse would take effect.
“Tu Fusheng, can you do this?”
Shen Ye asked, throwing the demon-subduing pestle over.
“Invading the Dao Palace directly… If I disregarded my former reputation, attacked by surprise, and had you to assist me afterward, I could give it a try,” Tu Fusheng mused, toying with the demon-subduing pestle.
Shen Ye nodded.
Tu Fusheng was a master of the 108 Heavens.
If he were to do this without any regard for his reputation, he might actually succeed.
“But the teleportation of this demon-subduing pestle will shatter the entire great array of the Dao Palace, which will inevitably alert others. How about this, I’ll take you to the Ninety-nine Heavens—”
“We’ll go quietly,” Tu Fusheng continued, “so it won’t cause a big commotion.”
“I’m only at the sixth stage of the Dharma Realm. Can I go to the Ninety-nine Heavens?” Shen Ye asked.
“Do you think people in the upper universes are born at the tenth or higher stage of the Dharma Realm?” Tu Fusheng retorted.
That was also true.
A surge of excitement rose in Shen Ye’s heart.
If he could go directly to the upper universes, wouldn’t he be able to find Charlotte?
Tu Fusheng saw that he was silent, and thinking he understood, explained:
“Of course, if people from the lower universes rashly ascend to the higher universes, the fluctuations of their lower-level cosmic laws will be very obvious and won’t dissipate for a long time.”
“Without someone to guide and protect you, you’ll always be in danger.”
“But I am the strongest in the 108 universes.”
“I have a secret technique that can cleanse you of those lower-level law fluctuations.”
Shen Ye stretched out a hand, recalled the contract, and then closed the Sealed Door.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”
He said happily.
Tu Fusheng stood in place, forming a hand seal, and whispered,
“The difference in each universe lies in the amount of Dharma Realm power it contains.”
“You can think of the lowest universe as the shallowest stream, where the least amount of Dharma Realm power flows.”
“As you ascend to higher universes, the Dharma Realm power gradually deepens, like rivers, lakes, and even the deep sea.”
“In the higher universes, Dharma Realm power is like an unfathomable ocean.”
“As a professional, you can climb to higher Dharma Realm levels and become even stronger!”
A spell landed on Shen Ye.
Shen Ye only felt his entire body’s aura and power fluctuations become ethereal and indistinct.
“My aura has been purified. Now let me see if my old teleportation beacon is still there…”
Tu Fusheng fumbled around his body for a moment and quickly pulled out an item.
It was a jade talisman.
“Something from the Grand Immortal Palace?” Shen Ye asked.
“Exactly. I visited the Ninety-nine Heavens back then, and they received me with great ceremony, hoping I would take the time to give a lecture.”
Tu Fusheng shook his hand, and the jade talisman immediately activated.
A wisp of ethereal immortal energy rose, enveloping both of them.
“This is the finest teleportation talisman. Get ready, we’re leaving—”
Whoosh!
A flash of light.
The two disappeared instantly.
…
The Ninety-nine Heavens.
Taishang Dao Palace.
Outside the mountain gate.
Shen Ye and Tu Fusheng appeared together.
“We’re here. Let’s infiltrate now—”
Tu Fusheng’s voice suddenly cut off.
Shen Ye’s expression also became wary.
—The surroundings were full of people.
A trap?
Surrounded?
Did they have to fight their way out?
The two stood back-to-back, looking around alertly.
However, the bustling crowd paid little attention to them, instead nervously staring at the direction of the mountain gate.
—This was at the foot of the mountain range where the Taishang Dao Palace was located.
There was a small pavilion in front.
Two rows of Dao Palace disciples, dressed in blue robes, stood solemnly in the pavilion.
Shen Ye and Tu Fusheng exchanged glances.
“Something seems to be happening here. It looks like it’s impossible to infiltrate the Dao Palace,” Shen Ye transmitted mentally.
Tu Fusheng’s expression turned grim, and he transmitted mentally:
“Then I’ll just charge in directly, destroy the symbol of the Dao Palace, and completely obliterate that statue. How about it?”
A faint killing intent surged from him.
Shen Ye was a little tempted.
Tu Fusheng was a strong practitioner from the 108 worlds. What would be the problem if he were allowed to act without restraint?
However—
He still felt a bit unsure.
“Don’t act yet. Let’s observe the situation first,”
Shen Ye decided.
Tu Fusheng temporarily suppressed his killing intent, transforming back into a harmless old man.
“Master Tu!”
A voice came from the direction of the small pavilion.
“Oh no, they still recognize me!” Tu Fusheng’s expression changed.
He was exposed!
He wasn’t worried about himself, but about Shen Ye.
After all, Shen Ye’s mission was to penetrate the entire Dao Palace and destroy that statue!
If Shen Ye couldn’t keep his composure, then they would have to start a big fight now!
Shen Ye’s thoughts flashed, and he transmitted,
“It’s fine, let’s see what they say. We won’t act for now.”
Two disciples of the Dao Palace flew over and landed in front of them:
“Master Tu has graced us with your presence. There’s no need to wait here, please follow us.”
They looked at Shen Ye, then at Tu Fusheng, and seemed to understand something, bowing together.
“…Haha, good!”
Tu Fusheng chuckled, with his hands clasped behind his back, and walked out of the crowd with Shen Ye.
The Dao Palace disciples led the way, guiding the two into the small pavilion to sit down.
In the small pavilion, there was an exquisite teleportation array.
Someone handed an item to Shen Ye, then nodded to the others and said,
“Teleport.”
“Okay.”
Before the two were ready, the teleportation laws activated.
Whoosh—
They vanished directly from the mountain gate and reappeared in a magnificent hall.
A young Daoist acolyte was waiting for them.
“Master Tu has graced us with his presence. Our sect’s Grand Elder is about to emerge from seclusion and will personally welcome you. Please take a seat for a moment.”
The acolyte respectfully offered tea and pastries, then smiled at Shen Ye:
“Please fill out the jade slip first. This is an important matter, and must not be taken lightly.”
With that, he flickered and disappeared.
“They seem very busy,” Shen Ye said.
“Since their Grand Elder is coming to greet us, let’s wait,” Tu Fusheng said calmly.
Shen Ye looked down at the jade slip in his hand.
This item seemed capable of guiding his power into it, and then he could read what was inside.
He could also write some information into it with his thoughts.
“It’s a guest registration form. Should we fill it out?”
Shen Ye asked.
“It doesn’t matter whether we fill it out or not—do you think this old man is afraid of them?” Tu Fusheng snorted coldly.
Shen Ye pondered for a moment, then decided to fill it out carefully.
After all, the other party treated him as a guest.
As a guest, if he followed etiquette, there would at least be no danger.
It should be this way.
He held the jade slip and began to fill in the information.
“Hmm…”
“I can’t put my real name. I’ll just write Nangong Wantu.”
Hopefully Nangong Sirui wouldn’t mind.
“Gender: Male.”
“Age: Sixteen.”
“Strength: Dharma Realm Six.”
“Do you have a Spirit-master or Divine Spirit with you?”
“…Big Skeleton has a contract with me and can enter my Dharma Form at any time, so I suppose I do.”
Shen Ye filled in “Yes” and continued to look down.
“Have you practiced any cultivation civilization techniques?”
Shen Ye was startled.
If he said he hadn’t practiced, would the Dao Palace give him a cultivation technique as a guest?
That would be a good thing!
The starting named quest for the Path to Heaven was to cultivate such a technique!
Shen Ye happily filled in “No.”
Following that was a heap of miscellaneous information, which appeared very complex.
Shen Ye patiently filled them out one by one.
Suddenly.
Outside, bells rang loudly, and immortal music drifted.
Two rows of Daoists trooped in.
An old man flew from the sky, laughing loudly:
“Elder Tu has graced us with your presence. We failed to welcome you in time, please forgive us!”
—The Grand Elder of the Dao Palace had arrived.
Tu Fusheng was about to say something when the jade slip in Shen Ye’s hand flew away suddenly.
The old man in the black Daoist robe descended and sat on a meditation cushion opposite the two, smiling as he rubbed the jade slip in his hand.
“Today I already had some expectations, but I never imagined that Elder Tu would personally come. It truly makes us both happy and surprised.”
“…” Tu Fusheng.
“…” Shen Ye.
The two exchanged glances, both feeling a bit bewildered.
However, Tu Fusheng was an old fox, and Shen Ye was used to various situations.
Although they felt uneasy, neither of them panicked.
“What do you think?” Tu Fusheng probed.
“Absolutely no problem.” The Grand Elder looked at Shen Ye, sizing him up.
“A sixteen-year-old at the sixth stage of the Dharma Realm is quite good. And he hasn’t practiced any cultivation techniques. He’s a blank slate, which is the most important thing.”
“Elder Tu, if this descendant of yours joins our Taishang Dao Palace, we will certainly take good care of him, so please rest assured!”
Join the Dao Palace?
Shen Ye was startled. Before he could say anything, he saw the Grand Elder toss the jade slip back.
He caught the jade slip and probed it with his spiritual power.
He saw that on the densely packed identity information he had filled out in the jade slip, two large lines of text had been added:
“Acceptance approved!”
“Arranged as a personal disciple of the Grand Elder of the Taishang Dao Palace.”
