Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

A moment of silence.

"Will this be useful?" the woman in black asked.

"Are you sure this will work?" another voice from Shen Ye's physique also spoke.

"Don't you understand humans? Humans' pursuit of treasures will never cease, this is the best method. Let's wait and see if I'm not right," Shen Ye said with utmost certainty.

"Well, let's give it a try."

The voice disappeared.

It was gone.

The woman in black also left.

Before leaving, she built a giant egg for Shen Ye to rest in.

Shen Ye stayed for a while.

The light emitted from the giant egg was soporific.

Eat then sleep, sleep then eat.

...is this really how a larva is treated?

Shen Ye yawned, about to ponder his second professional skill, when suddenly the surroundings turned into an endless expanse of white.

—Dharma Realm!

Waves of formidable fluctuations surged like tides, crystallizing on his body and floating above his head.

"Name" was born!

"You have gained recognition from the Dharma Realm."

"You have obtained an exclusive insect swarm entry:

"Bloody Brawler."

"Purple Entry (One in Ten Thousand)."

"Description: Your strength increases by 10 points, agility increases by 10 points, comprehension increases by 10 points."

"Evaluation: As the king species in the dream possesses you, and you follow it to battle against the will of the world, you have grasped the essence of combat and comprehended the grand scene of high-level close combat, with all your body's acupuncture points unblocked, entering a higher realm of close combat."

"—Your combat has become more bloody and brutal."

"—Please ensure that any interaction with you is supervised by an adult."

The improvement was rapid!

Now, just lacking the second professional skill to ascend to the Second Realm of the Law Realm.

Archery...

Shen Ye was about to release a Taiyin Divine Arrow when he suddenly felt something stir on his body.

Sect Leader's Precious Tactic?

He pulled out the Sect Leader's Precious Tactic and saw that the originally blank fourth page now bore a series of large characters:

"It has been detected that your 'Sudden Rain' skill has been raised to the top tier, even surpassing it."

"It is judged that you have begun the impact on the Second Realm of the Law Realm."

"Disciples of the sect have created countless second skills, of which the seven most powerful are included within this Precious Tactic, and you may start receiving the secret transmission whenever."

"How to use:

"Just place the Sect Leader's Precious Tactic on your forehead."

Shen Ye was overjoyed.

One generation plants the trees, another gets the shade.

—This is the benefit of having a sect.

"Night Roamer" is just a human profession, it might have been not too bad in the ancient human times, but after all, many people have held the position and thus created numerous second professional skills.

The strongest seven are all here.

I don't have to ponder over them myself!

This isn't being lazy.

It's because energy should be reserved to focus on the skills of "Non-Living Master" and "Dark Devourer".

Learning a "Night Roamer" skill now is for the purpose of quickly reaching the Law Realm Second Layer!

Shen Ye slowly comprehended as he pressed the Sect Leader's Precious Tactic to his forehead.

A full fifteen minutes passed.

Finally, he chose one out of the seven skills and began to complete the secret transmission.

"Expel Bandits."

"The second professional skill of 'Night Roamer'."

"Piercing Arrow, Tracking Arrow, Long-Range Shooting Secret Art."

"Description: Guided by the breath of your enemy, pierce through all obstacles and strike directly at its vital points."

"Requires at least 30 points in strength, 30 points in agility, and 30 points in spirit to cast. The higher the basic attributes, the longer the range."

"—Sweep away all bandits."

Spiritual power was insufficient.

But Shen Ye directly used 10 free attribute points to fulfill the requirement in one go.

In an instant,

he fully grasped his second professional skill.

Done!

Shen Ye only felt a surge of strength begin to burst forth in his body.

In a moment of fortune, he unfolded his Dharma Aspect,

and saw within the majestic Lunar Palace, fog teemed and filled the air, a crescent moon hung high above the battlements, casting a faint glow.

Moonlight, white as frost.

Shen Ye instinctively reached out his hand to catch a strand of moonlight.

Who would have known that more moonlight gathered from the sky, condensing into a mass in his hand, and transformed into burning white frostfire.

Suddenly, small letters appeared:

"Frostfire has been born within your Dharma Aspect."

"Congratulations."

"You have advanced to the Second Realm of the Law Realm."

"All attribute points increase by 10."

"Strength: 40;"

"Agility: 40;"

"Spirit: 30;"

"Comprehension: 40;"

"Resonance: 200; (Legacy Resonance under the moon +20);"

"Available Attribute Points: 24."

"Please use Lunar weapons to fight and devour the Dharma Origin of the enemy, enriching the bright moon above."

"When the crescent moon turns into a full moon, it signifies that your Dharma Aspect is preliminarily perfected, and you can advance to the Dharma Aspect Triple Layer Boundary."

"At that time, your Sect Leader's exclusive Pupil Skill: Godslaught Catalyst, will undergo an advancement."

In the Second Realm of the Law Realm now!

With the "Bloodthirsty Slayer" entry gained earlier, the boost in attribute points was a huge leap!

And more importantly—

He had long since activated his Dharma Eye.

All he had to do next was continue to enhance his Dharma Aspect to reach the Triple Layers of the Law Realm!

What good news.

—Now it was time for him to leave.

How should he begin?

He had to come up with an excuse, after all.

The ground suddenly shook.

The giant egg cracked open.

A three-meter-tall black woman burst in and shouted,

"Be careful."

"What's wrong?" Shen Ye asked.

"The Seal's power has leaked!"

Is it that Seal of Fate?

"How did it leak?" Shen Ye couldn't help but ask.

The black woman said with a grave expression, "When the master consumed that world will, he gained considerable power, and hence stirred it again, causing the leaking of the Sealing Power."

"What's the principle here? Why does it leak when he moves?" Shen Ye curiously asked.

A moment of silence.

Shen Ye heard his own cold voice:

"I am delving into the Seal of Fate, in a deadlock with it."

"Just now, the power I released broke a part of it, but unexpectedly, it generated an even stronger Sealing Power."

"Be cautious."

"It's coming—"

At the same time.

It wasn't just Shen Ye's location.

The entire Great Tomb.

Xu Xingke, Swordswoman, Cang Nanyan, and Song Yinchen, who had just entered the Great Tomb.

Xiao Mengyu, Nangong Sirui, and others who were struggling to climb the underground passage.

As well as the mightiest of the Five Desires World, Mo Ga Ru.

All of them immediately felt a premonition.

"What... No, impossible, how could such a thing happen..."

Cang Nanyan was accustomed to dealing with crises, but in this moment, he was also somewhat flustered.

Around them.

The entire scene of the Great Tomb was changing.

Endless white bones formed the rock walls.

In the dense rock caves, corpses uttered painful groans as they climbed out from their coffins.

They were being resurrected.

It was as if, in the next second, they were about to appear from another dimension!

"Time and space are such grand concepts, why would the Dharma Realm allow such a strange change to occur here?" the Swordswoman asked in a deep voice.

Xu Xingke looked up.

The exit they had used to enter was now gone.

There was no way out.

"The Dharma Realm is the source of all power and laws... It must be doing this because some force here is too strong..." Xu Xingke murmured.

"Teacher, look!" Song Yinchen pointed in a direction.

Everyone turned to look in that direction.

In the void.

A long procession of people and horses was solidifying.

Clad in blood-stained armor, their faces were blurry and indistinct. They carried high flags, descending from the sky, heading towards the depths of the Great Tomb.

After this group passed.

Two giant dragons appeared in the void, coiling their way towards the depths of the Great Tomb as well.

Straight after.

Giants wielding warhammers lined up, marching with heavy steps towards the depths of the Great Tomb.

A myriad of terrifying monsters continuously emerged in the void.

Their figures flickering between transparency and solidity, they all headed for the depths of the Great Tomb.

The students of Breath Soil High School also witnessed this scene.

No one knew what was happening.

Although Shen Ye knew, he was also at a loss for what to do.

——The Cosmic Giant Insect was in a stalemate with them, what could he possibly do?

Suddenly.

His phone rang.

——It was his alarm tone.

A thought struck Shen Ye, and he exclaimed, "I understand now!"

"What?" the black-clothed woman immediately asked.

Shen Ye moved slightly, changed into a set of clean clothes, and then drank a can of beverage.

"It's eleven fifty-nine now."

Shen Ye said.

"..." the black-clothed woman.

In reality, the gates could be opened any moment now——

Whether it was the Two-Worlds Connecting Gate or that reversed Door of the Unknown.

"Listen carefully!"

Shen Ye suddenly spoke in a rigid and cold tone, "The seal's opening is meant to envelop you all."

"The seal will measure your strength, and if you fail to pass its test here, it will kill you instantly!"

"Your spirit will be turned into the purest energy for it to absorb!"

"Don't even think about fighting it; it's a peculiar Technique Spirit untouched by all influences!"

——This was the voice of the king species.

"Alright, got it." Shen Ye nodded.

"You better not die too soon, as it would be of no help to me at all. Do your best to hang in there, preferably survive all the way through," he said again.

In an instant.

Everything around them disappeared.

Shen Ye found himself standing in front of an endless, dark rock wall.

On that wall was a monster, hundreds of meters long.

No...

Shen Ye focused and immediately realized that it was a woman shrouded in darkness.

Strange.

She looked exactly like the three-meter-tall black-colored woman!

But there was a difference——

Shen Ye saw a row of tiny characters floating above her head:

"Seal of Fate of the Master of All Living Beings, Special Technique Spirit."

This massive woman, with her long serpentine tail and a regal presence as if tangible, invoked an involuntary desire to worship her.

So it was.

She was the real Technique Spirit!

The one inside the hive must have been a mimicry by the king species after observing this seal.

The two were beyond comparison!

The woman looked down upon Shen Ye and said:

"Your most important companion... shall be killed..."

Before her voice fell.

The giant skeleton suddenly hopped out of Shen Ye's ring and was drawn up into the air by a force.

"Damn it!"

It roared out, but an invisible force tightly trapped it.

"Choose its method of death," the woman said.

She opened a pair of eyes shrouded in a misty white fog, looking at Shen Ye:

"You have ten seconds to decide, and if you exceed this time limit, you will die."

Shen Ye looked at the giant skeleton, then back at the woman.

What was this trial actually testing?

Could it be that after ten seconds he would die instantly?

——Although others might be heartbroken at the thought of harming their closest comrades.

Some might even attack the Technique Spirit immediately.

In such a case, if one couldn't make up their mind after ten seconds, it would be over!

But he didn't have that concern!

He knew he couldn't defeat it and also knew how to break the deadlock.

"Boil it, I choose boiling!"

Shen Ye blurted out almost without thinking.

"As you wish," the woman spoke.

A large pot appeared on the ground.

The giant skeleton was thrown into the pot, continuously boiled by the bubbling water.

"The hell is this—"

The lid was put on.

Its voice abruptly stopped.

After seven or eight minutes.

The woman spoke again:

"Bury your friend. If you do it well enough, you will have passed the initial trial of fate."

Is this the way through?

Shen Ye walked towards the pot.

Next, he just needed to remove the pot's lid and bury the giant skeleton to pass the test.

——It seemed this test was to see if one would be too soft-hearted towards their friends.

Shen Ye removed the lid.

Inside the pot was bubbling broth, with scattered bones floating around.

He should scoop them out.

——First, scoop it out.

After burying it once, he could dig it up again, let it drink the bone broth, and it would be revived.

This was something both the giant skeleton and Shen Ye were familiar with.

Shen Ye was about to scoop out the bones when his expression suddenly changed.

"No, something's wrong!"

He looked up at the hundreds of meters long, giant black-colored woman on the rock wall.

"What's wrong?"

The black-colored woman's eyes were fixed on him as she asked.

"Your pot of rib soup has no flavor at all," Shen Ye replied.

"No flavor... So what?"

"That's not my brother! My brother would smell delicious when boiled——"

"So you're deceiving!"
