Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 338 The only designated selection officer of the Immortal Kingdom!
"Welcome back, Brother Page."

An ordinary-looking man walked out from behind the tree.

"Ah, it's you!" Shen Ye was surprised.

——Isn’t this the person who was in charge of the Shadow Brotherhood on the human race’s front?

The first time I saw him was in the tent of the Shadow Hand.

He also sells the Horse and Dagger fake death set.

"Brother Page, please follow me."

The man turned and walked deeper into the woods.

Shen Ye followed immediately.

"The situation has been very tense recently. It is said that the undead may launch an attack at any time and fire the first shot of the war." said the man.

"Do we have any corresponding arrangements?" Shen Ye asked.

"The king has just ascended the throne and is very busy, but he has always kept the frontline in mind and is stepping up preparations in all aspects."

"——I came back here today to prepare a shadow ceremony for you."

the man said.

Shen Ye listened carefully, but felt somewhat confused.

Shadow Ritual... I've never heard of it before...

But it’s not a good idea to ask at this moment.

He followed the other person in silence, all the way into the depths of the jungle.

There was only a small campsite here.

Several assassins wearing close-fitting leather armor and with short knives and daggers hanging from their waists had been waiting for a long time.

When they saw Shen Ye coming, they all made the "I love you" gesture and said:

"Peppa."

"Young Paige."

"Brother Page."

"Hello, seniors." Shen Ye greeted.

"No need to say more, hold the ceremony for him immediately." the man ordered.

Everyone immediately became busy.

They took out various spellcasting materials and rune array components that had been carved long ago from the tent and began to set up a simple altar on the ground.

"Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Shen Ye couldn't help but probe.

The man who led him into the camp seemed to be the leader. He continued, "You are Saint Pechi, who was personally appointed by His Majesty. You can definitely communicate with the fairyland and obtain exclusive blessing power."

Shen Ye tilted his head and watched silently as several people set up the altar.

——I haven’t heard of this before.

"What if I fail?"

Shen Ye tried again.

"Many people only gain strength after several communications," the assassin leader smiled at him, "Relax, it doesn't matter if you fail."

"Okay." Shen Ye said.

The altar was completed quickly.

Several assassins stood in front of the altar and performed a set of extremely complex and graceful movements.

Shen Ye felt that they could definitely debut as a group.

"coming!"

The assassin leader suddenly shouted.

I saw a faint light on the altar, and energy began to condense into wind, blowing in all directions.

"Brother Page, hurry up! Go up and stand in the middle of the altar!"

everyone urged.

Two lines of small, dim words appeared in front of Shen Ye's eyes:
"Through this ritual, the Immortal Kingdom sensed your words 'We will meet under the moon on the Jade Terrace' and your Dharma image 'The Guanghan Palace'."

"We need to stand at the altar for further confirmation."

Ok.

Come on.

Shen Ye walked to the middle of the altar and stood firm.

The other assassins gathered around, made the "I love you" gesture with their hands, and whispered:
"May the shadows protect you, brother."

The light in the void became brighter and brighter, and all fell on Shen Ye.

At this moment, an idea suddenly came to him.

in fact--

The nightmare world originally came from the Hun Tian Shu of the Great Tomb Fairyland.

Perhaps this is the real reason why the nightmare world can communicate with the fairyland and receive blessings from it.

Sudden.

The light in the air became increasingly intense, and the infusion of energy had condensed into a huge white beam of light visible to the naked eye.

Shen Ye stood in this beam of light and felt that his whole body was filled with strength.

Moment.

Shen Ye felt a surge of joy and excitement.

Small words quickly appeared:
"Countless years ago, the mother of the insect swarm that occupied the Immortal Kingdom's Tomb was defeated by you and your companions. Your companions took away the Hun Tian Shu, but you stayed and have been guarding the Death Planet until now."

"The Immortal Kingdom sensed your presence."

"During further contact, your words and Dharma images resonated with the Immortal Kingdom."

"Your resonance with the Immortal Kingdom has now reached infinity."

"Congratulations."

"You have been recognized by the Immortal Kingdom, and the Immortal Kingdom has infused your Dharma image with energy."

"——You have received a secret mission from the fairyland, and thus have the title:"

"A deeply hidden selector."

"only."

"Description: You can launch the 'Immortal Kingdom Test'. Among those who pass the 'Test', only those who are recognized and recommended by you can gain the trust of the Immortal Kingdom and enter the relatively safe area of ​​the Immortal Kingdom. They can receive the reconstruction mission given by the Immortal Kingdom and win the opportunity to grow slowly."

"Reward: Whenever you recommend a certain number and quality of professionals to the Immortal Kingdom, the Immortal Kingdom will give you some power in return to help you switch to a higher-level profession or obtain the Immortal Kingdom's relics."

"——Everything is necessary to rebuild the fairyland of the supreme high-dimensional universe."

A moment.

All light disappeared.

The altar was restored to its original appearance.

"It seems it was successful!"

The assassin leader said excitedly.

"Yes, that's right." Shen Ye nodded.

"You are worthy of being Saint Page - you don't have to tell me that the blessing of the fairyland is your own secret. I am just happy for you!" said the assassin leader.

"Yes, the power of our Shadow Hand has grown again." said an assassin.

"With each additional brother we have, we will be more adept at dealing with the undead," said another assassin.

Shen Ye glanced at his own image.

Energy reached 3000 points.

You can do a lot of things!

The fairyland is so generous!
It’s not convenient now, I’ll study it carefully when I have time.

"Thank you, everyone. Thank you very much."

Shen Ye said sincerely.

Everyone was so busy just now, I should have treated them to a drink.

It’s just that I have a lot of things to do right now.

Let's do it later.

"Wait a moment." said the assassin leader.

He went into the tent and returned to Shen Ye soon with a letter in his hand.

"The letter from His Majesty - he said that he couldn't contact you recently and didn't know what happened to you, so he asked us to deliver it to you."

"……Thanks."

Shen Ye took the letter, peeled off the sealing wax, pulled out a piece of letter paper, and read it quickly.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Norton urged himself to study at the Imperial Military Academy.

Damn it.

I wanted to go last time, but I didn’t have the chance!

What about this time?
"Everyone, I may have to go to the imperial capital." Shen Ye said.

"Everything is subject to your majesty's orders. By the way, I remember that you have not been in the army for long. Do you need any help along the way?" asked the assassin leader.

"No - ah, yes, I need - can I choose it myself?" Shen Ye asked.

The assassin leader pulled out a document from his bosom, signed it quickly, and then used his seal.

"Here, with this transfer order, we can mobilize a team to protect you."

"Thanks. I'll treat everyone to a drink when I come back." Shen Ye said.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business first."

The assassin leader came forward and said in a low voice: "Be careful of those foreigners. Although they are also human, they only want to earn merits and obtain the qualification to enter the tomb. Don't trust them."

"Yes!" Shen Ye said.

Stranger.

It must be someone from outside.

I arrived relatively early, and the humans in the nightmare world were not so alert at that time. I successfully obtained a reliable identity and was named "Page" by Norton, and only then was I accepted by everyone.

Others may not have this treatment.

Shen Ye thought silently and left the camp.

Now it seems--

Apart from the stranger incident, the nightmare world is basically on its original track.

But who is in power in the Undead Empire now?
Why start a war?

The big skeleton is still eager to go back to see his mother!
No, I have to find out more about this matter.

While thinking, Shen Ye returned to the bustling human camp.

"Peppa!"

Someone shouted.

Many soldiers turned their heads to look at him.

"That is Saint Peggy who killed the Undead Assassin and saved your Majesty's life."

"It's him. He looks really young."

"But he's very capable."

Everyone whispered.

Shen Ye had no choice but to give a stiff smile and greet everyone.

Two position inspectors came running over and asked:
"Paige, where's your ID? Which military unit are you in?"

Shen Ye handed the transfer order to the other party.

The inspector unfolded it and nodded, "Please go directly to the third tent in front, the military mobilization command center, and you will be arranged soon."

"Thank you." Shen Ye took the order and strode forward.

We arrived at the place in a short while.

When I walked into the tent, I saw a row of soldiers standing inside.

An officer sat behind his desk, legs crossed, looking at the soldiers with a playful expression.

"Sir, please give us a chance."

A soldier said sincerely.

"Why don't I give you a chance?" The officer snorted coldly, "I told you to stay at the front and fight hard, but you keep making excuses. You still want me to assign you to do other things?"

"Report!" Shen Ye shouted.

The officer turned around and stood up immediately, saying with a smile:

"Paige? Why haven't you gone to the capital yet?"

"I was just about to go. Could you please take a look at this?" Shen Ye handed over the transfer order.

The officer looked at the transfer order, checked the seal, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Well, go pick whoever you like. The team is limited to six people. When you're full, come find me."

"Thank you, sir."

Shen Ye waved at the officer, turned around and was about to leave, but heard a voice behind him saying "Wait a minute".

He looked back and saw that the team of soldiers were staring at him.

"You called me?"

Shen Ye asked.

"See if we can do it. We are all strong and can definitely protect you until you reach the imperial capital." said the leading soldier.

Shen Ye didn't notice it just now, but when he looked carefully, he found that these people were already quite old, and each of them exuded powerful power fluctuations.

——Probably at the fifth or sixth level of the Dharma Realm.

"With your strength, you are just soldiers?"

Shen Ye was surprised. The officer quickly pulled his sleeve and said, "These are all foreigners. They are not trustworthy."

Foreigner?
When Jiuxiang was still around, Shen Ye was at least a "King" level professional on the Death Planet.

Although he is no longer the "king" this time, he still knows almost all those powerful professionals.

These people looked very unfamiliar.

——They must be people from other planets.

Xu Xingke also reminded himself to be careful with these people.

Shen Ye pondered for a moment and said:
"You haven't made any achievements on the battlefield, but you want to go to the imperial capital. I suspect you have bad intentions and I cannot use you."

The soldiers looked at each other.

One of the soldiers stood up and shouted fiercely: "You better obey me, little bastard, or else—"

"How dare you!" the officer shouted, "Someone come!"

The words have not yet fallen.

The entire tent was immediately surrounded.

Two teams of heavily armored knights walked into the tent, drew their weapons and pointed them at the soldiers.

The leader of the soldiers quickly pulled the man behind him, with a flattering smile on his face, and said:

"Everyone, my people were just playing a joke on that young boy. It's not worth making a fuss."

He emphasized the words "half-grown boy".

——Actually, it would have been better if he hadn’t said this. As soon as he said it, all the great knights’ swords were pointed at him.

"A person who bears the name of Saint Paige is someone you can humiliate?"

The officer said this coldly and made a killing gesture.

kill?

An idea suddenly came to Shen Ye's mind.

Do you want to try the "Test of the Fairyland"?
Even if they survive, it will be over if I don't agree to their passage.

We must always see what this "selection officer" is all about.

"Start a test - and survive if you can."

He muttered to himself.

next moment.

As soon as the officer made the killing gesture, dozens of great knights attacked.

"Damn it, you guys—"

The soldier leader shouted and led his men to resist.

A violent sound wave suddenly erupted in the void.

hum!
The great knights all performed a sword technique called "Sonic Slash".

The invisible slash instantly penetrated the tent.

There are broken arms and limbs all over the ground!

Those soldiers were all killed on the spot before they could even unfold their Dharma images.

Shen Ye stood aside, clenched his fists tightly, and said nothing.

——It’s completely different from before!
The strength of these great knights is all at the sixth level of the Dharma Realm, and there is even one who is at the seventh level.

They have plenty of experience in killing on the battlefield, and they show no mercy when they attack. It is natural and easy for them to kill those guys by cooperating with each other.

but--

When did the human army become so strong?
Could it be the blessing of the fairyland?
Or is it that the Nine Phases failed to destroy the world's defenses, so the world has become increasingly powerful?

"Clean the floor! Everyone else, disperse!"

The officer ordered.

Immediately, several personal soldiers entered the tent and began to clean up the bodies.

The others gradually dispersed.

The officer saw Shen Ye was still there, so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder:

"Brother Page, don't pay attention to these crude outsiders. His Majesty has personally written to you to inquire about your matter and urged us to act quickly - you should hurry up and select the people."

"Okay, thank you."

Shen Ye said goodbye to the other party and walked out of the tent.

A team of spearmen had just arrived outside and were resting on the spot. A messenger came hurriedly and contacted the team's leader.

This busy and lively scene brought Shen Ye back to his senses.

"Spearmen..."

He observed carefully and found that even the most ordinary soldiers on the front lines had the strength of the first or second level of the Dharma Realm.

I haven't seen you for a few days. Is the nightmare world so powerful now?

Shen Ye walked forward confidently.

Lines of dim words quickly appeared before his eyes:
"This Immortal Country test has ended. All the people who were tested have failed, and no one has passed."

"The cost of this operation will be settled from the person being tested."

"You have obtained a portion of their supplies, which were directly transferred from the Immortal Kingdom to your Dharmadhatu."

"The rest of the materials were collected by the Immortal Country as energy to launch the test."

Shen Ye was stunned.

This fairyland is pretty good, they know how to live well.

And judging from its characteristics, it is just like itself, and can put things into the Dharma image at will.

——“We will meet under the moon at the Jade Terrace” and “Guanghan Palace” both come from it.

Without this term and Dharma image, it would be impossible to cooperate with it.

No wonder I am the “only” selection officer!
Shen Ye slowed down his pace, walked to the slope beside the road, and looked towards the training ground below the camp.

Normally it would be a problem if someone like him had nothing to do on the battlefield before the war.

The position inspector immediately came over here, but when he saw that it was "Saint Page", he smiled and turned around to do other things.

——He did obtain permission from His Majesty to select people to return to the imperial capital.

Besides, this is the boy known as "Saint Paige".

He came from the human territory that had been exterminated by the undead. He was loyal and pure, and he also saved the king's life.

Why are you picking on him?
No one disturbed Shen Ye.

However, a few cooks passed by him and stuffed a small tin kettle filled with grape juice into his hand.

"Thanks, brother."

Shen Ye nodded to the other party.

"Brother Page, you're welcome." Several cooks grinned and carried the things away.

Shen Ye observed the professionals on the training ground while sipping grape juice.

He looked at it for a while, then focused his mental energy on the Dharma image.

But there was indeed a large box of two meters by two meters placed in the Dharma image.

"Do you want to open it?"

the big skeleton asked.

"Open it and see." Shen Ye said.

The big skeleton found a branch and poked the big box from a distance, trying to poke the lid open.

"You are too cautious." Shen Ye joked.

"We must be careful. I've looked through the Book of the Dead, and the runes on this box constitute an ancient defensive spell, and we don't have the corresponding runes to open it." said the Big Skeleton.

Shen Ye thought for a moment and asked, "How many books of the dead do you have in your Undead Empire?"

"Several!" The big skeleton glared at him. "Only the King of the Dead can gain the power to rule over all the dead, and thus be passed down the only Book of the Dead by the Lord of the Underworld."

"But you haven't become a king yet." Shen Ye said.

"I am the orthodox one. Now that my mother is resurrected, do you think I can become the king if I return to the Undead Empire?" said the big skeleton proudly.

Shen Ye remained silent.

The Undead Empire doesn't know what the situation is right now, so let's not tell it for now, to avoid making it anxious.

The box was poked open.

A powerful magic rushed out of the box, but it flashed in the void and disappeared completely.

"Eh? Is it this rare?"

The big skeleton said doubtfully.

Shen Ye glanced at the small words in the void:
"The Dharmakāya has absorbed the energy of this technique."

"Current energy: 3050."

A defensive counterattack spell that provides 50 energy points, which is quite high.

Once these things are done, start building the Dharma image immediately!
"Look what's there!"

The big skeleton rubbed his hands, walked forward and looked into the box.

There were black bottles neatly arranged inside, and above all the bottles, there was something that looked like a token.

"It's a magic bomb!"

The big skeleton let out a weird cry and slammed the box shut.

"You look so scared. Is it very powerful?" Shen Ye asked.

"Nonsense! Any bomb in here is as powerful as a soul-blasting bomb and can directly blow your soul to pieces." said the big skeleton.

Soul shock bomb?

It's quite powerful. It was with this that Norton was saved and the enemy was killed.

Shen Ye suddenly remembered what happened in the tent just now.

If the Great Knights were weaker and slower, the “outsiders” would have used these bombs...

can not imagine.

"Don't be afraid, there's something like a piece of iron inside, take it out and have a look."

Shen Ye said.

The big skeleton had no choice but to open the box tremblingly and pull out the piece of iron.

There were some words on the iron sheet that Shen Ye had never seen before.

The big skeleton took a look and said:
"This is the writing of another branch of human civilization, which tends to depict the shapes of all things, and the font is very beautiful."

It picked up a nightmare crystal, poured textual knowledge into it, and then crushed it in the Dharma image.

Shen Ye was immediately taught.

——The Lord of the Underworld chose the Big Skeleton as his successor, probably because on the one hand, it can replenish what it eats, and on the other hand, it is indeed knowledgeable.

"Look at the words above."

"it is good."

The big skeleton held up the token.

The token reads:

"Order: Join the Nightmare World and do your best to find a way to enter the Great Tomb Fairyland. Be sure to find information about the 'Huntian Technique'!"

"No mistakes shall be made. Those who disobey orders will be killed."

The Art of the Universe.

It can turn reality into a dream and let it be shattered.

This alone has unimaginable power.

Not to mention that it can turn dreams into reality.

——It should be a relatively important and advanced core magic in the fairyland.

However, this technique has been taken away by Chatelet.

Chatelet had foreseen the current situation long ago, fearing that there would be too many, too powerful, and too crazy people heading to the Death Planet.

If these people can't find the Hun Tian Shu, maybe they will stop coming.

Shen Ye thought silently, and suddenly said:

"Hey, Fei Lun."

"I'm a little uncomfortable with you suddenly calling my name." The big skeleton responded awkwardly.

"Because I want to tell you something serious - I found that the nightmare world has become more powerful. Any soldier has the strength of the first or second level of the Dharma Realm."

"Really?"

"Why did I lie to you!"

"That undead..."

"That's right, so you must practice well recently. Otherwise, once you return to the Undead Empire, you will be the weakest among your mother's sons. That will be bad, and it may even be dangerous. You know." Shen Ye said in a serious tone.

"That makes sense...it does make sense. Looks like I need to practice hard for a while!" the big skeleton muttered.

"come on."

"Well, don't go back to the Undead Empire now. I need to improve my strength."

"……come on."

Shen Ye withdrew his attention and looked back at the training ground at the bottom of the hill.

The matter is taken care of.

Now select the personnel and return to the imperial capital.

There was a sudden commotion on the training ground.

I saw that the two groups of new recruits were fighting in formation. The sound of the weapons clashing was too loud, so it attracted the attention of other troops.

"Hmm...how could I have forgotten them..."

Shen Ye murmured.

Yes--

If you want to find trustworthy partners, of course it’s Xiao San and Xiao Mengyu and the others!
