Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 634
byChapter 617: Ancient Term!
Building a nest?
It’s imperative!
Jiu stared at the lines of prompts, silently pondering the meaning of the entire event.
This was the most crucial hint and task after the method of becoming a Saint from the Other Shore merged with the method of becoming a Saint for a “King”.
It was also the final step in her own path to becoming a Saint.
How could she give up?
Everything at hand had already surpassed her original understanding.
Even the temporary sequence was something she had never encountered before.
Moreover—
Besides the third portion of Saintly power as a mission reward, there was also a complete nascent sequence.
This was not a temporary sequence.
She had to get her hands on it!
Unfortunately.
She didn’t know what building a nest actually entailed.
Would the commotion be too great?
What would happen during the nest-building?
No!
She no longer needed to think about these things.
Because she had already decided to do it!
As her thoughts shifted, several lines of shimmering small text suddenly appeared before her eyes:
“You have decided to build a nest.”
“Mission successfully accepted.”
“Currently, the temporary sequence has activated the compass, guiding the laws of myriad worlds to begin building a nest for you.”
“This is an opportunity for the temporary sequence to become a formal sequence, and also the most dangerous gamble of your life.”
“In 3 minutes and 58 seconds, the preparations will be complete.”
“When you say ‘start’, the nest will officially begin to be established.”
“From that moment on, all beings that successfully reach the nest will gain the qualification for further selection.”
“—Only the one who survives to the very end can be recognized as the master of the nest.”
“Attention!!!”
“The sequence can only remind you:”
“In 28 minutes, your door ability will complete its evolution—the sequence doesn’t know what will happen, but if you acquire a suitable door ability, it might be helpful for the situation.”
Jiu’s heart tightened.
Yes.
Her door ability was damaged, and she had to use “Mandala・Ouroboros” to absorb the Sarira Twin Tree Door inheritance.
—The door was almost done evolving!
As Jiu was thinking, she saw the compass on the ground suddenly disappear.
At the same time.
The will of the sequence also left her body.
Everything around seemed to become an illusion.
And—
Jiu looked up, only to see countless laws converging above her head in the infinite Dharma Realm.
They collided wildly, trying to piece together, interlock, and merge into one.
Was this the beginning of nest-building?
As Jiu watched, the entire Dharma Realm gradually darkened.
Darkness enveloped everything.
Immediately after—
The law power, which had already stably linked together, began to churn continuously.
And more laws continued to arrive from all directions.
As the total number of laws kept rising, exceeding an unknown limit, the entire Dharma Realm began to shake.
Jiu watched this scene in utter shock.
Incomprehensible—
Aren’t laws the masters of the Dharma Realm?
Their collective power allows the Dharma Realm to exist.
Why are the laws constantly churning?
What is their purpose?
At one point.
Jiu suddenly felt a tightening in her chest.
Because something she had never imagined appeared in the sky of the Dharma Realm.
“How can the Dharma Realm… have such a thing…”
She muttered softly to herself.
In that sky, when countless laws churned to their limit, causing the entire Dharma Realm to churn with them, the thing hidden behind the Dharma Realm finally appeared.
It was a decaying black coffin.
It floated in the sky, emitting an extremely ominous aura that sent shivers down one’s spine.
But this was just the beginning—
As time continued to pass, more black coffins quietly emerged.
They converged, forming an inverted black coffin mountain in the sky!
The Dharma Realm no longer existed!
In its place.
Was this mountain of black coffins, with its peak pointing downwards, its body majestic yet bizarre, and its vastness stretching beyond sight!
—Could this be the true face of the Dharma Realm?
Jiu stared intently at the coffin mountain, unable to connect “nest” with such a mountain of buried corpses.
With a “clang” sound.
A term radiating a dark aura appeared above her head:
“Nest Builder.”
“Ancient Term.”
“Description: Designate a certain type of ability, causing it to override all other types of power within the nest (only during this nest-building).”
“Activates once every hour.”
Jiu unhesitatingly hid the term, then activated Dharma Realm Shuttle and returned to the real world.
Dormitory.
—She returned to the dormitory, leaned against the wall, and slowly sat down to wait.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
A voice suddenly sounded in the room:
“The compass I gave you is definitely a good thing, you cannot deny that.”
The void opened.
A finger floated in mid-air, swaying slightly.
“I helped you hide your identity, but you’re using my sequence!”
Jiu said sharply.
In chronological order—
—The incident with the three Shen Yes killing the first finger happened half an hour ago.
After Shen Ye left.
The second finger rushed back.
Jiu entered the warehouse and met the second finger.
The second finger hadn’t seen Shen Ye and had been dealing with Jiu.
At this moment.
It had successfully used Jiu’s sequence.
Things were still developing—
“Don’t say that, such nest-building events are very rare, even on the Other Shore—you’ve pushed history forward.”
The finger’s tone changed:
“It’s a pity you’re too weak; you haven’t even reached the Saint realm, you can’t even basic control laws.”
“So I’ll handle the rest.”
As the words fell.
Jiu suddenly clenched her fists, adopting a defensive stance.
To her own surprise—
There was a faint chill wrapped around her fists, and two black dragons flickered in and out of sight.
Master’s Mountain River Saint Emperor Fist had changed!
This fist technique seemed to have become even stronger!
The finger was nonchalant, and said lightly:
“With your kind of fist technique, I could finish you off in just one move.”
“I don’t believe it,” Jiu said.
—Its weakness was that it couldn’t fight continuously.
If it fought against her here, how would it then deal with the subsequent battles?
She wasn’t a Saint!
Killing her wouldn’t provide it with more power!
At this moment.
The preparation for the nest’s construction was underway.
The finger wanted to seize this nest!
Sure enough—
“It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not—I have more important things to do now; as for you, just stay here.”
“Once I complete that matter, you and everything here will turn to ash.”
After speaking, the finger vanished in a flash.
In the dormitory.
Only Jiu remained.
Her eyes gleamed, and she clenched her fists tightly, as if silently celebrating something.
Yes!
The finger’s behavior proved one thing.
It wasn’t entirely knowledgeable about the nest-building!
Because up until now, the Dharma Realm was still undergoing preparatory work.
The true start required a condition—
“When you say ‘start’, the nest will officially begin to be established.”
It required Jiu, the nest builder, to speak!
The finger clearly didn’t know this!
Jiu exhaled, feeling the pressure ease up a little.
If everyone was equally clueless.
—Her combat strategies would become much more diverse.
She turned her head and looked out the window.
Not far away, figures occasionally flew out from the Myriad Worlds Survival Association building.
These figures disappeared into the void in an instant.
In the distant sky.
Streaks of light flew down, and just before reaching the building, they also disappeared into the void.
—They were Saints.
They had already sensed the changes in the Dharma Realm.
Everyone wanted to go and see what was happening!
“Why… is it that inverted coffin?”
Jiu still didn’t understand.
Nest.
If the coffin was the nest, what would be born from it?
It didn’t feel right.
Jiu looked at her last task, gritted her teeth, left the dormitory, and walked towards the Survival Association building.
Now there was a situation like this.
Due to the suddenness of the nest-building, the finger immediately changed its plan, no longer waiting for other body parts in the void, and went into the Dharma Realm ahead of time.
Then—
The long-haired man in the Aether, who was another part of Rahu’s body, was about to arrive here.
His team was simply too strong.
Perhaps.
She could try her luck again?
After all, to venture into that ominous inverted coffin mountain, if she had powerful personnel, she could at least obtain a lot of information.
—Information determines strategy, and strategy brings victory.
However.
What capital did she have to form a team with them?
Jiu walked, pondered rapidly, and slowly ascended the stairs.
The entire building exuded an eerie silence.
Except for Saints.
Other cultivators who had sensed the changes in the Dharma Realm also started to move.
—Everyone went to the Dharma Realm.
To witness the grand spectacle of nest building.
Such a once-in-a-million-year event would move anyone!
So there were hardly any people in the building.
Jiu opened a teleportation array and went directly to the top floor of the building.
Only one cultivator was still working there.
Jiu showed him her credentials.
—The Aether Affairs Department naturally had the authority to come to the top floor to prepare to receive Saints and collect various items from the Aether.
“I’m afraid no Saints will be active today.”
The staff member said.
“I know, but work is work. I’ll stay here for a while,” Jiu said.
“Your dedication to work is truly admirable,” the staff member sighed.
“Aren’t you too?”
While speaking.
The fluctuations in the Dharma Realm grew stronger.
Even the real world could sense the rapid expansion of the Dharma Realm’s power.
Something big was happening!
The staff member finally couldn’t resist and said:
“I’ll be going to the restroom soon and don’t know when I’ll be back.”
“Be my guest,” Jiu gestured dismissively.
—The last staff member, unable to resist the allure of the Dharma Realm’s changes, entered the hallway and shuttled away to the Dharma Realm.
On the rooftop.
Only Jiu remained.
She strolled around for a while, and after observing her surroundings and confirming that no one else was present, she shifted her form back to her original appearance.
Waiting.
Continually waiting.
After dozens of breaths.
A dull thunder-like fluctuation came from the Aether.
They’re here!
Shen Ye raised his hand and waved to the sky.
The next moment.
Several figures shot down around him like streaks of lightning.
The long-haired man.
The cloaked man.
And the woman with planets hovering around her.
—The gaunt tall man wasn’t there; it seemed he had been kicked out.
“We meet again.”
Shen Ye spoke.
The three looked at him, then observed their surroundings.
“So you weren’t willing to share information again because you knew we’d eventually meet here?”
The Star Girl said with a smile.
“Exactly,” Shen Ye said, crossing his arms. “I don’t need to waste any more information.”
“What a shrewd fellow,” the cloaked man praised.
The long-haired man looked at the void and pondered:
“Joining our team and sharing the benefits of seizing the nest’s recognition still requires certain qualifications.”
“Of course,” Shen Ye agreed.
The long-haired man said, “I contribute the strongest frontal combat ability, and her術法 powers are unparalleled. As for this fellow covered in a cloak, he possesses endless treasures—”
“And you?”
“I’ll adapt to circumstances,” Shen Ye said.
The three watched him silently.
Shen Ye was in no hurry. He simply sat down on a chair on the rooftop and said slowly:
“I think you’re all very good, that’s why I waited here.”
“You can choose.”
The star goddess’s demeanor was gentle, and she said, “Many people are already waiting in the Dharma Realm, but it seems no one knows when it will officially begin.”
—This was a declaration of attitude!
The long-haired man also nodded and said, “If you want to adapt to circumstances, you should at least be able to foresee the changes in the Dharma Realm.”
“I agree,” the cloaked man said.
Shen Ye checked the time.
His door ability was still 3 minutes away from completing its evolution.
He held up four fingers:
“According to my intelligence, there will be changes in the Dharma Realm in 4 minutes.”
The three’s expressions shifted.
“Then let’s wait 4 minutes, we’re not in a hurry anyway.”
The star woman said with a smile.
“If it’s true, you can join us—it’s good to have someone who understands intelligence in a combat team,” the long-haired man said.
“I agree,” the cloaked man said.
The three walked to different corners of the rooftop, seemingly observing the situation.
But Shen Ye knew—
They had already locked onto him.
If what he said was wrong, they might do something.
After all, he had seen their appearances, knew their plans, and even knew their detailed arrival and departure times.
Some divination masters could deduce a lot of information from these clues.
Shen Ye didn’t care.
He waited silently for 3 minutes.
Several lines of shimmering small text appeared as expected:
“Your ‘Spirit-Guiding Gate’ has been repaired, merged with the ‘Sarira Twin Tree’ gate inheritance, and its evolution is complete.”
“The current evolution has gained a new door ability—”
Shen Ye didn’t wait for the small text to finish displaying and immediately used the jumping dice.
—The jumping dice from the cloaked man could make an advanced door ability even better than its inherent evolutionary result!
Since that was the case, why not just use it!
The dice disappeared from his storage ring.
At the same time.
All the shimmering small text refreshed:
“You used a special secret treasure for door abilities.”
“The current evolution has become stronger.”
“Congratulations.”
“You have gained a new door ability:”
“Forbidden Land Gate.”
“Description: Retains your original Spirit-Guiding Gate ability, and on this basis, imbues your Spirit-Guiding Gate with a ‘forbidden land’ effect. Beings not chosen by you will absolutely be unable to discover this gate.”
“—A true forbidden land is a place you cannot see or reach.”
Alright!
The door ability upgrade was successful!
Shen Ye stood up.
As he moved.
It immediately caught the attention of the other three.
“Time’s up, it’s our turn to go on stage.”
Shen Ye spoke.
He stepped into the void and landed in the Dharma Realm.
The three followed closely behind.
On the blank ground.
Crowds stood densely, occasionally looking up at the sky.
Every single person gazed at the inverted black coffin mountain.
However—
There was no movement.
Shen Ye appeared in a corner, and the other three followed him, appearing together.
“No change,” the Star Girl whispered.
“I think it’s already started,” Shen Ye said.
Before he finished speaking.
Deep in the sky.
Innumerable black coffins began to emit rustling sounds.
The sounds gradually became dense, like the wailing of billions of ghosts, or endless gnawing sounds, spreading throughout the void.
Coffins began to open one after another.
“It has indeed begun, he was right.”
The cloaked man said in a deep voice.
“Welcome to our team,” the long-haired man said, a touch of warmth in his tone.
He began to transmit his voice rapidly:
“Now I’ll share information with you—”
“The nest-building will kill ninety percent of the observers at the very beginning, as a sacrifice, but don’t ask me who it’s sacrificed to, I don’t know either.”
“So we need to ensure the team survives now,” the Star Girl said.
As she spoke.
The heavens and earth were saturated with black streams of light.
The black streams of light flying out from those coffins pierced through the entire Dharma Realm.
Everything they collided with instantly turned into withered corpses.
Only Saint-level beings reacted incredibly quickly, immediately began to attack and defend, deflecting them.
The team Shen Ye was with also took action.
The long-haired man took out a giant shield, blocking it in front of the group.
The Star Girl chanted a spell.
Planets circling and flying appeared in the void, also forming a defense.
The cloaked man, on the other hand, pulled out a large bag and poured its contents onto the ground with a “whoosh”.
— various defensive artifacts!
“Hold out against this attack.”
He spoke.
The situation on the field changed in an instant.
Those black shadows suddenly transformed into bizarre existences.
Their power surpassed everyone’s.
“Run!”
Someone shouted.
“There’s no way to deal with this, quickly leave!”
More people retreated in disarray.
But they couldn’t escape!
After the nest-building began, the entire Dharma Realm seemed to be sealed off.
Huge black bodies filled the Dharma Realm, and no one knew what they were.
They began to devour the cultivators on the ground.
Screams filled the air.
“Attention, these things are very strong. We can only expend energy to resist them,” the long-haired man said.
“We just have to hold out until most of the others are dead, then we’ll pass!”
The cloaked man also shouted.
Shen Ye calmly observed the people around him.
One melee.
One spellcaster.
One wealthy.
Tsk.
Besides information, he needed to display more abilities to be truly accepted.
—Because he no longer had a sequence on him.
On such a battlefield, they would surely doubt his strength.
He needed to leverage their support—
Just like just now, with the three of them helping him block attacks.
Then—
Shen Ye’s mind stirred.
“You activated the Ancient Term ‘Nest Builder’.”
“Within the current hour, you designate abilities of the Law Phase type, causing them to override all other types of power within the nest.”
Law phase.
However, it couldn’t be his own Law Phase.
He had to ensure the three couldn’t see through his true strength.
This was also to reserve more trump cards!
Then he would use Xiao Mengyu’s.
Her mutated Law Phase could make enemies equal in strength to her!
Because of the Ancient Term, the power of the Law Phase would be amplified to the highest level!
No sooner said than done!
“You activated ‘Warm-Blooded Comrade’ and exchanged with Xiao Mengyu.”
“You exchanged ‘Supreme Communication Method on How to Interact with a Rich Woman’ for her mutated Law Phase ‘Starfall Seed’.”
No!
When did I ever have that kind of communication method!
Shen Ye was caught off guard, carelessly exchanging things for a Law Phase, and actually made a huge mistake.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
How could this be!
I don’t have such a thing!
…Wait a minute.
Come to think of it.
Could it be good duck’s employee manual from his time working at the KTV?
Never mind!
The situation was urgent, he’d explain later!
“Watch out.”
The long-haired man shouted.
He was fending off several shadowy monsters attacking from the front, while the Star Girl was defending the flank.
Then a black shadow suddenly appeared behind the team—
“Save me!”
The cloaked man shrieked.
The various precious defensive treasures he threw out could only slightly delay the monster’s attack.
Shen Ye stepped forward and whispered:
“Law Phase Descend.”
Endless starlight erupted from him, instantly enveloping the monster and him.
In an instant.
The strength of the shadowy monster dropped to be equal to Shen Ye’s.
At the same power level.
Who had ever reached Shen Ye’s level of blade techniques?
A flash of blade light danced erratically in the void, flashing across the shadowy monster’s form.
—Jumping Blade!
“Pah.”
Shen Ye took several steps back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
His long blade was also completely shattered.
The wailing of the large skeleton lasted for a moment, then it went to rest in the Law Phase.
Looking back at the shadowy monster—
It suddenly let out a sharp cry:
“Ah ah ah ah ah ah, such blade techniques—you have given birth to a sequence!”
Before the words finished.
The black shadow broke into four or five pieces, soared into the sky, and returned to a coffin.
The coffin closed tightly, never to open again.
The surroundings fell silent.
—This was the first shadowy monster defeated on the entire battlefield!
Shen Ye shook his numb hand.
“You guys pay attention, I’ve lost my weapon, next time it’s up to you—”
As he spoke, he found something extra in his hand.
It was—
A hilt?
He turned to look.
The cloaked man was kneeling on one knee, shoving a blade into his hand.
“Buddy, thanks for saving my life just now.”
The cloaked man said gratefully.
Shen Ye looked at the blade.
The blade—
Seemed extremely powerful.
“Well done.”
The long-haired man and the Star Girl flew over, protecting Shen Ye’s flanks, and said in unison.
