Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 367 Pepe
Shen Ye held the jade slip in his hand and turned his thoughts over and over again eight hundred times before he met Tu Fusheng's gaze.

I am a disciple?

Do you want to be my disciple?

The two looked at each other and Shen Ye nodded slightly.

The benefits of joining the Supreme Taoist Palace are obvious——

First, you can learn the side exercises for cultivation.

Secondly, if I have the chance one day, I will go to the center of the Taoist temple, take out the demon-subduing pestle, and throw it at the statue!
The contract is complete!

From then on, Yun Ni no longer had any curse left for him, and once she died, he would be able to obtain all her Taoist treasures.

"Hahaha, okay, since the Supreme Taoist Palace is so kind, I am not a stingy person."

Tu Fusheng laughed and stretched out his hand, placing a black wooden board on the table.

The Taoist Palace's Grand Elder's eyes moved slightly, and the black wooden board flew over and landed in his hands.

"It's actually the Secret Record of the Vacuum White Moon Slashing Technique. Master Tu, you are so generous!"

The Grand Elder was moved.

Tu Fusheng turned to Shen Ye, his eyes becoming kind:
"It's just to add some secret techniques to the Dao Palace that are not worthy of being shown on the stage. I'm leaving this junior to you. I hope you can take good care of him and help him learn and achieve success."

Everyone looked at Shen Ye together.

——The legendary holy warrior, the master of the ultimate hand-knife style, and the so-called Lord of Malice, Tu Lao, personally sent this child here. Moreover, he was so generous that he even contributed the secret record of the beheading method.

This child must be his closest descendant!

"The Secret Record of the Vacuum White Moon Slashing Technique is very valuable?"

Shen Ye transmitted the message.

"Nonsense, that's my treasure," Tu Fusheng felt a little painful, but he immediately abandoned this emotion and said solemnly: "My reputation can only be used temporarily. If you really want them to pay attention to you and train you, you must pay real money!"

"Exchange of interests." Shen Ye said he understood.

——I will give you the secret records, and you must train the younger generation well for me.

That’s the deal on the table.

Win-win.

The Grand Elder's tone became more gentle, and he said to Shen Ye:

"Nangong Wantu, my Supreme Dao Palace has five kinds of Dharma images, eighteen kinds of Dao weapons, and thirty-six levels of magic. They are divided into three gates: Heaven, Earth, and Mysterious. Each has a master. Which gate do you want to practice in?"

"I wonder what the differences are between these three doors." Shen Ye asked with a bow.

"The Heavenly Gate is good at magic, the Earthly Gate is good at Taoist soldiers, and the Mysterious Gate specializes in Dharma images, 'names', and rare objects. Without special Dharma images and rare 'names', one cannot enter this gate."

The Grand Elder explained patiently.

Shen Ye hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I wonder what kind of heroes are the leaders of these three sects?"

It is normal for young people to admire heroes.

The Grand Elder laughed and said, "The Heaven Gate is managed by the three Grand Elders of the Grand Taoist Palace, the Earth Gate is led by the Deputy Grand Elder, and as for the Mysterious Gate—"

He paused, then said:

"Originally, the Sect Master's only direct disciple, who is also the eldest disciple of our sect, was in charge. However, she went astray and was possessed by the devil. The Sect Master personally led a large formation to kill her in the lower universe."

"So the position of the Master of Xuanmen is vacant for the time being."

Shen Ye remained expressionless, but it was as if a thunderclap had exploded in his heart.

Clouds and rainbows——

She is the only disciple of the head of the Supreme Taoist Palace?

Since they were master and disciple, why didn't they prepare earlier, but set up a large formation at the last minute, specifically to kill her?
This is unreasonable!

And this supreme elder had no scruples in telling outsiders about something that had just happened.

As if he was afraid that others didn't know.

...It's so weird.

There must be some serious illness in this Tai Shang Taoist Palace.

and many more.

Did they think Yun Ni was dead?

Shen Ye glanced at Tu Fusheng.

Tu Fusheng immediately sat up straight and said with emotion: "How could the Holy Lord have the heart to kill his own disciple? Did he really kill him?"

"The soul lamp has been extinguished. Yun Ni, the eldest disciple of my Tai Shang Taoist Palace, was possessed by the devil and brought harm to the sentient beings in the lower world. He was indeed killed in one fell swoop by the large formation set up by the sect leader, the Holy Lord." The Supreme Elder nodded.

Soul lamp?

"It is a magical instrument that is connected to life. Once someone in the sect dies, the soul lamp will go out, and the sect will immediately send people to investigate the cause of death of the disciple."

Tu Fusheng explained via telepathy.

Shen Ye was silent for a moment.

He was very sure that the possessed Yun Ni was still trapped by him in a sealed coffin.

perhaps……

Can the sealed coffin completely isolate her breath?

"Nangong Wantu, which sect of my Taoist Palace would you like to join?"

The Supreme Elder asked.

"I would like to join Xuanmen." Shen Ye said.

"Why?" asked the Grand Elder.

"Because I have some fairly special 'names', and I just need to slowly familiarize myself with them in Xuanmen and find ways to improve them." Shen Ye said.

With a thought, he released a purple-level entry, making it float above his head.

When everyone saw this commotion, they immediately felt a sense of respect in their hearts.

——There are not many ways to hide your name!
This guy can hide his "name" and even said "some of them are pretty special 'names'". It seems that he is really a special talent!

The Grand Elder raised his head, looked at the "name" above his head, and unconsciously said:
"Disaster."

Everyone watched it.

Disaster!

There is such a “name”!

This doesn’t sound like a good name. Will something bad happen?

"Sorry, to enter the Xuanmen, you need at least two 'names', or you need to show a rare Dharma image."

The Supreme Elder said.

"I have one more." Shen Ye said.

His head moved slightly, and another name popped up.

This is a rare pink name——

"Song girl."

It's the singer!
No matter what kind of talent a singer has, as long as she is a singer, she will be extremely useful to the sect.

No wonder Tu Fusheng cares so much about this younger generation!
The Grand Elder couldn't help but stand up, laughed, and said loudly:
"Singer? Very good, your joining will surely make Xuanmen stronger."

“Nangong Wantu, from now on, you are my disciple of the Xuanmen of the Supreme Dao Palace.”

"Come here, take him to get the disciple uniform, various elixirs, armor, and Taoist books."

He talked a lot and decided on various matters on the spot.

——This is too fast.

This also made Shen Ye once again realize the value of the profession of "singer".

The Supreme Elder asked again:
"Master Tu, are you going to stay for a while or return immediately?"

Tu Fusheng stroked his beard and sent a voice message to Shen Ye:

"Once you enter the Dao sect, you will be isolated for at least several months before you can communicate with the outside world. This is the rule. If I ask them for such a small matter, it will easily arouse suspicion."

Shen Ye transmitted the message:
"You go first and move freely for a while. I will call you with the contract, and you can come to my Dharma image again."

Tu Fusheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

This is basically freedom!

If there is anything, come and help me. You can do whatever you want to do at other times!
——I fought for my life and death, accompanied him to the ninety-nine universes, and exchanged the secret teachings for his disciple position. As expected, I got the reward.

This guy is quite nice.

If I had known this, I wouldn't have done that kind of assassination!

"I am relieved to leave this young generation to you, so I won't keep you any longer."

Tu Fusheng's figure flashed and suddenly disappeared into the void, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Everyone was stunned.

How does it feel...

He seemed a little impatient...

The supreme elder looked at the secret record of the Vacuum White Moon Slashing Technique in his hand.

The secret record is real.

He looked at Shen Ye again.

Shen Ye is definitely a young man at the sixth level of the Dharma Realm, with two rare "names" on his head.

——That’s true too.

Ok.

no problem.

"Grand Elder, I will leave now." Shen Ye bowed.

"Well, go ahead. Today we are re-competing for the Xuanmen rankings. You should pay attention."

"Also, practice well in the future. If you can achieve great success, it will be the glory of our Taoist Palace." The Supreme Elder advised with a smile.

Shen Ye bowed again and was then led out of the palace by a Taoist guide.

The Taoist guide took him to collect the spiritual stones and elixirs and basic Taoist books for the month, then he got up and flew with him through the mountains on a cloud, saying quickly:
"Today, the leader of Xuanmen went astray and was possessed by the devil. The Holy Lord personally set up an array to kill him and destroyed him."

"Since Senior Sister Yun is dead, the Xuanmen ranking will definitely be re-arranged."

Having said this, he stopped talking.

Shen Ye smiled, took out some of the spirit stones he had just received, and stuffed them into the hands of the Taoist who was leading the way.

The Taoist continued:
"The ranking of Xuanmen is different from the other two sects. One item is randomly selected from Dharma, Name, and Wonderful Items for competition."

“The higher the ranking, the better the resources available.”

"It's rearranged every seven days."

"Thank you, Brother Dao." Shen Ye bowed and stuffed over a few more pills.

Soon.

The two landed on a hilltop.

I saw seventeen or eighteen practitioners standing in the arena on the mountain.

The guide stretched his neck to look for a while, and whispered:
"This time we are competing for rare items."

"What is the strange object?" Shen Ye asked.

"It is something strange, incomprehensible, and yet extremely powerful," said the Taoist who guides us.

"Thank you, Brother Taoist." Shen Ye nodded.

The Taoist who led the way waved the pills in front of Shen Ye's eyes, and then put them into his storage bag.

——It means that if I benefit from you, I will get the job done.

This person is real!

"May I ask your name, brother? I hope you can give me advice in the future." Shen Ye bowed.

"Tao is righteous." The Taoist who led the way also bowed.

"What a nice name. My name is Nangong Wantu."

The Taoist guide led him to the front of the ring, talked to a big man with a black beard, gave a brief introduction to Shen Ye, and then left.

Shen Ye was left surrounded by a group of senior brothers and sisters, who looked him up and down.

"I've heard of the name Tu Fusheng. He seemed to be a powerful figure from the past... He's still alive?"

The big black-bearded man muttered.

"My name is Nangong Wantu, nice to meet you, senior brothers and sisters." Shen Ye bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Well, do you want to participate in today's ranking competition? How about playing together?" the big man with black beard invited.

The other brothers and sisters also looked over and showed interest.

Judging from their looks, they seemed to really want me to get on top.

"I don't know how to fight, let's wait and see."

Shen Ye declined.

——I didn’t come here to show off. Let me observe the situation first.

And a very important point -

The power of the laws of this world is so profound that with just a slight sense of it, one can penetrate the void and see the Dharma images hidden in the Dharma Realm.

There is so much power here!

It also takes some time for me to adapt slowly.

Hearing that Shen Ye agreed not to participate in the ranking competition, everyone felt a little bored and withdrew their gazes, looking back at the arena.

——Two disciples on the stage are fighting with strange objects.

One person released a magic gourd that could continuously spit out lightning in mid-air;

The other person held a long stick with a five-colored light cloud rising from it, blocking all attacks from the opponent.

Shen Ye looked at it for a while and nodded slightly.

So this is the competition method——

The two people on the stage did not use any Dharma images or words, but only relied on the strange objects in their hands to fight the enemy.

This method is somewhat similar to cricket fighting.

It's quite entertaining and not life-threatening for either side of the fight.

No wonder they wanted to go up just now.

It is actually quite interesting to have a new and unique object join the fight.

……never mind.

I'm new here, and I'll slowly change my ranking later.

Shen Ye found a seat, sat there comfortably, and watched the competition on the ring.

About seven or eight minutes passed.

The magic gourd continued to emit lightning, but the long stick gradually couldn't hold on, it softened and turned into a rope.

It could no longer emit the five-colored mist, nor could it resist the lightning. "The winner is decided!"

The black-bearded man said loudly.

The two disciples collected the rare objects and jumped off the stage.

"Sun Lian moved up one place in the ranking, and Wu Fang moved down one place - is there anyone else who wants to challenge?"

The big man with black beard asked.

While everyone was still hesitating, they saw a streak of light flying from the sky and landing on the stage.

It was a white-haired old man wearing a dark blue Taoist robe.

He didn't waste any words and announced directly:
"The master of Xuanmen, Yun Ni, became possessed by the devil and died. The various resources and treasures he left behind will be distributed to you again."

"You guys fight according to the Xuanmen rules."

As they were talking, dozens of Taoists, carrying all kinds of objects and books, and even a few Taoist children, had landed on the top of the mountain.

The Taoist holding the book read:

"There is a spiritual spring, a Xuanmen cultivation residence, twelve spiritual fruit trees, a top-grade alchemy furnace, three top-grade Taoist weapons, a fire-making boy, a fan-holding boy, and a picking boy..."

It took me three to five minutes to finish reading it.

The black-bearded man asked, "But isn't this a privilege reserved for the Master of Xuanmen? Are you going to break them all up and give them to us this time?"

"Yun Ni has gone astray. The head of the sect is afraid that you will repeat the same mistake. After sending people to check all the items, he is still worried and decided to disperse all these resources and give them to you."

Everyone became excited.

Shen Ye listened from the side, but didn't think anything of it.

I won’t participate this time.

As he was thinking, he suddenly realized something and looked up at the group of Taoists.

Among the boys who were brought here, a girl met his eyes.

The girl seemed to want to say something, but she looked around warily and then lowered her eyes.

know?

Shen Ye looked at the girl carefully.

...No, I don’t know him at all.

This is the ninety-ninth universe, how could there be acquaintances here?
Maybe they just look at the handsome guy.

Shen Ye withdrew his gaze and leaned back in his chair again.

On the stage, the elder announced:

"If anyone wants the Mysterious Fire Spirit Spring, come forward and fight for it."

Immediately, five Taoists jumped onto the stage together.

The elders asked them to draw lots to choose their enemies.

Shen Ye was watching when he suddenly felt something.

He looked across the ring.

But the girl met his gaze again.

"What's the matter with you?"

Shen Ye simply transmitted the message.

"Master? Is that you?" the girl responded cautiously.

Shen Ye's heart moved.

She called me the master.

why?
Could it be——

"Don't say anything. How did you recognize me?" Shen Ye sent a message again.

"This is the demon-subduing pestle that I helped the sect master to refine," the girl's voice was filled with surprise and eagerness, "there is a wisp of my soul on it."

Shen Ye was stunned, and a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.

The demon-subduing pestle can break all the defenses of the Supreme Taoist Palace.

It is actually refined with souls?

This Taoist boy must not be allowed to be obtained by anyone else.

"It's me - don't look at me again, so as not to arouse suspicion, and wait patiently."

Shen Ye transmitted the message.

The girl lowered her head and really didn't look at him.

The competition on the ring continues.

Those cultivation residences, fruit trees, alchemy furnaces and other items were fought over and divided up one by one.

finally--

The girl was brought forward and stood beside the elder.

"A fire-burning boy, this boy is born with the talent of refining weapons and alchemy. If he is well trained, he will be a capable disciple of my Taoist Palace in the future."

The elder said on the ring.

Shen Ye flashed and jumped onto the stage.

There were six people jumping onto the ring with him.

Even the big man with a black beard landed on the stage and laughed:

"Who doesn't know Pepe's talent? Everyone should compete fairly."

"That's right. I also need a boy who can refine weapons of this level." Another disciple also laughed.

"If Pepe hadn't lost her parents at an early age, how could she have fallen to the point of burning firewood? I'm here to save her, all of you get out of the way!" another disciple shouted.

No one ignored him.

Everyone wanted the fire-burning girl.

The elder counted the number of people and nodded:

"Draw lots, two by two, and the winner will have this Taoist boy as his servant."

Seven jade slips were placed on the ground.

Everyone waved their hands and took a jade slip each.

"two!"

"three!"

"five!"

"six!"

Everyone read out the numbers on the jade slip.

Shen Ye grabbed the remaining jade slip and said, "Byes."

Everyone looked at him strangely.

This kid is lucky. He doesn't even have to fight in the first round and doesn't consume any energy.

"Those who have byes will go down and wait for the next round." said the elder.

"Yes."

Shen Ye jumped off the stage.

The fight began.

The disciples took out all kinds of strange items to fight the enemy.

Before Shen Ye had time to take a closer look, a disciple had already flown out of the arena and rolled to the ground.

"Concession."

The big man with black beard grinned.

Shen Ye looked towards him and saw a black hen standing next to him.

hen?

"Phoenix King, you have an opponent."

Shen Ye said silently.

The first round is over and four people are left.

Draw lots again.

"One!" the big man with black beard shouted.

"Two." A handsome young man responded.

"Three." Shen Ye grabbed the jade slip and read it aloud.

"Four - I give up." The last disciple had a sad face.

Everyone looked at him.

There was a white mouse lying in his hand. The mouse was obviously injured in the previous battle and was covered in blood.

"Go to the treatment room quickly!" the elder urged him.

Every rare item is hard to come by. If a disciple loses a rare item, it is equivalent to the sect also losing this rare item.

The elder naturally hoped that the rat would survive.

"Banban, don't die!"

The disciple held the mouse in his hands, rushed into the sky, and flew towards another mountain.

Shen Ye silently withdrew his gaze.

Am I given a bye again?

"Elder, this is not fair. He has two byes."

The black-bearded man couldn't help but say.

The elder said: "This is the result of the lottery. You can only blame your bad luck. Why are you blaming others?"

The black-bearded man was depressed. He turned around and glared at the other contender, and shouted:

"No matter who wins, we have to fight him. Why don't you give me this chance? I won't fight for whatever you choose next time. How about that?"

The disciple glanced at the girl, feeling quite reluctant to leave, but under the pressure of the black-bearded man's might, he had to bow and jump off the stage.

just now.

The only contenders left were Shen Ye and the big man with black beard.

"New boy, I am Jiang Dazhuang, who ranks second in Xuanmen. Even when Yun Ni is here, you have to give me some face."

The black-bearded man stared at Shen Ye with ill intent and continued:

"Pepe is not someone you can touch. Get out of here quickly, or I'll damage your treasure and you won't even have a place to cry."

Shen Ye smiled and bowed, "It's you, Second Senior Brother. Nice to meet you, Second Senior Brother. Hello, Second Senior Brother. Have you eaten?"

Jiang Dazhuang shouted angrily: "Who is your second senior brother? Do you really want to fight me?"

"I want Pepe too." Shen Ye said with a smile.

"The competition begins!" the elder announced impatiently.

Jiang Dazhuang laughed grimly, released the black hen, and shouted:

"Don't hold back."

The black hen immediately raised its head, picked up a carrot, put it on its back, and then rushed straight towards Shen Ye.

Shen Ye casually took out the Phoenix King's fan, threw it on the ground, and shouted:
"Ren Shen, it's up to you!"

The Phoenix King's fan spun in the air, fell to the ground, and instantly turned into a benevolent rooster.

When the black hen saw it, she screamed and ran away.

"stop."

The Renshen rooster crowed murderously.

——He is the king of all phoenixes, and at this moment he completely suppressed the hen just by relying on his status.

The black hen immediately dared not move and squatted on the spot, trembling.

The benevolent rooster walked forward step by step, ready to ride on the hen's back.

"I surrender!"

Jiang Dazhuang shouted angrily, immediately took the hen and jumped off the stage.

In the arena.

Only the Renshen rooster stood there majestically, holding the carrot in its mouth that originally belonged to the hen.

Everyone was speechless for a while.

"Hey, this is a fight, what do you want to do with your rooster?" Jiang Dazhuang roared.

Shen Ye looked at the Renshen Rooster.

The Renshen Rooster gave him a firm look and motioned for him to look at the carrot he was holding.

...So it climbed up the hen's back to take the carrot off the hen's back?
but……

What's the use of a hairy carrot?
As Shen Ye was thinking, he saw lines of dim words appear:

"Your rooster has acquired a special item:"

"Carrot (hidden)."

"Your cock can start cross-dressing."

"The effect after dressing up is:"

“Carrot chicken.”

“Description: Walking in the crowd with a carrot chicken in hand, you will be ignored by others (carrot chicken).”

Shen Ye is really going crazy.

Does this work too?
——What is the structure of your world of chickens (phoenixes)?

The elder stood on the stage and announced:

"Pepe the Fire-Burning Boy, belongs to Nangong Wantu. Okay, let's move on to the next one."

Shen Ye jumped off the stage.

The selection and battle began again on the stage.

offstage.

The girl had already run over, stood beside him obediently, and held his hand.

"Thank you for coming all the way to save me, please take me and escape immediately."

She said in a voice message.

"Why?" Shen Ye asked.

"Since the Sect Master didn't eat your Dharma Image this time, his strength will definitely be greatly damaged. He must eat most of the people in the sect to maintain his strength."

"If we don't leave, he will definitely eat us!"
