Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 373 True and False!
There is no fighting.

Shen Ye sat there motionless, silently weaving a story in his mind. The inner demon happily entered the story and became the person in the story.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

When the thoughts leave, the stories also disappear, and the inner demons disappear without a trace.

Passed the test?
Shen Ye waited for a few more breaths, and suddenly unprecedented strength burst out from his body, naturally gathering into the divine light of the Flame Spirit, rushing up into the void and echoing with the Dharma Realm in the distance.

In the dark——

It seems that there has been some imperceptible change in the Dharma appearance.

This change has already begun, and it will not stop. It will continue to run silently until one day -

The entire transformation of the Dharma is completely completed.

By that time, Shen Ye would naturally master the method of transformation of Dharma phases.

——That is a milestone in the eighth level of the Dharma Realm!
It's a natural and smooth process!
It just takes a little time...

Shen Ye quietly felt the changes in his body and soul, and suddenly found that he had an additional sense.

After passing the customs——

I suddenly could sense the inner demon again.

This is a very wonderful feeling. Like a bystander, you can "see" what the inner demons are doing.

——There is a sailboat on the sea.

The inner demon took a few girls and rode the waves on the sea, it was so pleasant.

It has the same strength as itself.

And it is also practicing!
Shen Ye pondered for a few breaths, withdrew his senses, and stood up from the cushion.

Never mind the inner demons.

I am destined not to be able to sleep today.

A lot to deal with.

But this sect is completely covered by the Supreme Life-Binding Soul-Refining Palace, which means that his every move is always under the scrutiny of others.

go!
We must find a way to leave the sect!

When I first entered the sect, I received various spirit stones and elixirs, as well as some jade slips that contained some basic knowledge about the sect.

When he took it out and looked at it, Shen Ye had an idea.

——If you want to leave the sect, you can either go to the meeting hall and hand in a letter from your hometown, and then get the approval of the elders, and then you can go out.

But Shen Ye has only been in the sect for a few days, why does he want to go home?

This would seem strange.

Shen Ye tiptoed out of the cave and flew towards another mountain.

There is another way -

Accept the sect's mission, go down the mountain to gain experience, eliminate demons and defend the way, hunt for treasures and explore the unknown!

Shen Ye landed at the sect affairs office and saw from afar a Taoist priest sitting on a stone platform in front of the office, touching a jade slip and muttering something.

This person looks familiar.

It was the Taoist who had led him to the Xuanmen before.

It seems to be called——

The way of justice.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Dao." Shen Ye bowed.

"I heard that you were practicing the Tai Shang Wang Qing Mei Yue Sheng Zhuan Sutra, so how come you have time to come to the government office?" Dao Zhengyi asked.

"I have gained something. I want to go down the mountain to gain some experience and test my magic power." Shen Ye said.

In front of the Supreme Soul Binding Palace, he took out a handful of spirit stones.

"Hey, it won't take that much—"

Dao Zhengyi quickly declined.

"Brother, take it. This is a gift from my heart. It is absolutely genuine." Shen Ye stuffed it into his hands.

"You are--so sincere! Alas!"

Dao Zhengyi took the spirit stone and motioned for him to sit over.

Shen Ye sat over there.

The two sat side by side and waited for a few breaths, but Shen Ye still didn't see the other party speak.

"Don't be in a hurry, practice first."

Dao Zhengyi transmitted the message.

Shen Ye thought about it and decided to start practicing the technique.

About an hour passed.

Dao Zhengyi suddenly said:

"okay."

"Okay?" Shen Ye asked in surprise.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky, and saw several blazing spots of light appearing in the deep blue sky and flying into the palace in the sky.

"The headmaster and the supreme elder have to receive distinguished guests and have no time to take care of these things - this is our opportunity."

"follow me!"

He stood up and led Shen Ye towards the government office.

On the screen in the office, densely packed lines of small characters emitting dark green light appeared.

Every line of small print is a task.

Shen Ye was dazzled by what he saw and couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Dao, which mission do you think I am suitable for?"

"Today's mission was just released not long ago, but I know a few good ones." Dao Zhengyi looked Shen Ye up and down.

After taking the spirit stone, he began to seriously think about what task was suitable for Shen Ye.

"With the strength of the seventh level of the Dharma Realm, don't take on large-scale demon-killing missions, because there are many participants in the mission, and you won't get any benefits."

"Small group tasks or individual tasks, which do you prefer?"

"Brother, I want to complete the task alone, and it would be best not to be disturbed." Shen Ye bowed.

"What about the rewards? Are there any mission rewards that you like?" Dao Zhengyi asked.

"No - it doesn't matter. I just want to try out my new skills." Shen Ye said.

"Let me think about it..."

Dao Zhengyi thought for a while, then pointed at a line of glowing small words on the screen.

"This mission is for you."

Shen Ye looked carefully, only to see that it was a task consisting of only a few words.

"The patrol monks from Panlong Town?" he said.

"That's right. Panlong Town is the border of the Demon Abyss. People from all nearby universes will come here to temporarily settle in Panlong Town before going deeper into the Demon Abyss."

“When you serve as a patrolling monk in that town, you can communicate with the various sects, gain knowledge, broaden your horizons, and try out your skills in the shallow Demon Abyss,” Dao Zhengyi said.

"How long will this mission take?" Shen Ye hesitated.

"One week." Dao Zhengyi said.

This is plenty of time, enough for me to practice, and also enough for me to go to the ruins to complete the subsequent trials!

"I'll accept this mission!" Shen Ye said.

"Don't worry. The chief monk of the Office of Affairs will not easily approve newcomers to go out, but I have some face. You wait here. I will go and talk to him, and then you can accept the mission."

Dao Zhengyi finished speaking and walked towards a long row of rooms at the back.

Shen Ye couldn't help but nodded secretly.

This is a good person. He works hard when paid and never cheats anyone.

The work was done very neatly.

There are fewer and fewer people who are so honest and capable.

Shen Ye waited there for a while.

Dao Zhengyi walked out of the room at the end of the corridor with steady steps and slowly walked back to Shen Ye.

"Okay, report it."

He said in a message.

Shen Ye released his spiritual power and tapped the line of small words with his finger.

I saw the line of small words suddenly go out and disappear from the screen.

Dao Zhengyi immediately took out a token and handed it to Shen Ye.

"Take this token and report to Panlong Town - hurry up, before anyone else takes this mission."

He spoke quickly.

When Shen Ye heard this, he was afraid that the night would be long and he would have many troubles, so he turned around, walked out of the office gate, and flew towards the mountain gate.

Halfway through the flight, I remembered Pepe who was trying to escape, and went to Xuanmen Mountain to pick her up.

As soon as the cave door opened.

Pepe was seen sitting in the courtyard with red eyes and a look of despair.

"go!"

Shen Ye said one word.

Pepe jumped up almost immediately and rushed to Shen Ye in three or two steps.

Shen Ye grabbed her, turned around and left.

The two flew into the sky and quickly rushed out of the sect.

This time the journey was indeed smooth.

Shen Ye looked back and saw that although the Supreme Life-Binding Soul-Refining Palace covered the entire sect, it was motionless, as if it had lost control.

The owner of the Dharma image is busy with other things!
Shen Ye brought Pepe to the middle of the mountain and was stopped by the law enforcement monk who was guarding there. The other party checked the mission token and nodded:

"The fifth teleportation array at the foot of the mountain."

He cast a spell at the token, then threw it back and made way.

Shen Ye bowed and flew away with Pepe.

At this time, a deafening voice rang out from the sect:

"I have heard that the Supreme Dao Palace is unrivaled in strength, so I have come here today to learn from it. I hope that the Saint Master will be willing to teach me!"

Shen Ye paused in mid-air, and immediately flew towards the foot of the mountain at a faster speed.

That's it!

According to Pepe, the leader had expended too much energy to kill Yun Ni, but now he was facing challenges from others.

——He couldn’t care about a small shrimp like himself at this moment!

The two reached the foot of the mountain as quickly as possible.

The spiritual energy in the sect has begun to become restless.

The voice of the Saint Master has not yet been heard.

Storm is coming!

"Senior Brother! Please open the magic circle to teleport, I'm in a hurry!" Shen Ye handed the token to the sect disciple who was guarding the magic circle.

"You're leaving now? You might as well stay and watch the master kill everyone. It will be good for your practice."

The disciple of the formation laughed.

Several other disciples echoed.

Just as Shen Ye was about to speak, Pepe suddenly stood up and said urgently:
"My hometown has been hit by a flood. I beg you to save my family. I hope you can help me."

She looked anxious and sad, with tears streaming down her face.

Everyone was startled.

"It seems like some places are flooding, so we'd better go quickly."

A magic array disciple chanted a spell and activated the teleportation array.

"Thank you, senior brothers." Shen Ye said.

He pulled Pepe up and stood firmly in the center of the teleportation array.

Several other disciples also helped, chanting spells and activating the magic circle.

There was a flash of void.

Shen Ye and Pepe disappeared.

Several disciples in the magic circle stopped chanting, retracted their gazes, and looked towards the direction of the sect together.

"What a pity! Such a battle, even if witnessed with one's own eyes, would be of great benefit to cultivation. However, this junior brother from Xuanmen gave up watching it and wanted to run around for mundane matters. How foolish."

one person said.

Others nodded.

Sudden changes occurred——

A magnificent magical light fell from the sky. In just a moment, it passed through the sky and hit the foot of the mountain.

All the disciples and the formation suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, spells fell like rain, bombarding various parts of the Tai Shang Sect.

"Stop, you're looking for death!"

The roar of the Saint Master resounded through the sky.

……

Panlong Town.

The teleportation array flashed.

Shen Ye appeared in the center of the magic circle with Pepe.

"Who came?"

The two monks guarding the magic circle asked.

Shen Ye threw the token over.

The two monks took it and looked at it, and saw the mission, the sect's approval, the divine seal of the office, the seal of the mountain gate guard, and the transmission record of the magic array.

All formalities are complete.

The monk smiled and said:

"So it's Junior Brother who's here. Unfortunately, the Great Elder on duty has taken his men to the Demonic Abyss."

"There happens to be an empty cave. I have marked it. You can go and rest first, and then go to the town's office at noon to sign in and leave your seal."

The token is returned.

Shen Ye released his mental power and swept it towards the token.

Sure enough, there were maps and spell markings.

"Thank you two senior brothers."

He took Pepe by the hand, left the teleportation circle, and came to the town.

The town was bustling with activity.

Practitioners come and go in an endless stream.

The shops on both sides of the street were crowded with people, and there were also vendors selling all kinds of things on the road.

Shen Ye didn't look at it for long. He took Pepe's hand and walked through the crowd, turning down the busy street and arriving at a secluded alley.

"right here."

He took out the token and activated the spell on it.

The door lock of a courtyard rattled and opened automatically, making a metallic collision sound.

The two men entered the yard and looked around for a while.

This cave is very clean. Although small, it is large enough to accommodate a cultivator and at least two subordinates.

"Master, you still have a lot of spirit stones left. I'll go buy a formation plate."

Pepe transmitted the message.

Shen Ye glanced at her and immediately understood what she was worried about.

——The use of formation plates is no longer allowed in the sect.

But this is outside the sect!

The two must have a safe environment so that they can calmly consider their next move.

"You have to pick a good one that can provide both isolation and defense."

"Don't worry, sir!"

Pepe went there quickly.

Shen Ye looked at her excited figure and nodded secretly.

At this time, Peipei was taken out of the sect by herself. She believed that she had not abandoned her, and she successfully escaped again.

She began to help herself with all her strength!
That being the case.

I also have very important things to do immediately.

Shen Ye walked into the room, closed the door, and released his Dharma image.

A boundless torrent of black destruction filled the entire room, isolating everything from outside.

——This can only be used temporarily.

If someone else saw it, they would be curious about the origin of these black torrents of destruction.

At this moment, Shen Ye could not care too much. He isolated everything first, then took a deep breath, released his remaining mental power, and said in a low voice:
"Door!"

True.

With his original strength, he could only open the sealed door three times a day.

But all of my attributes were raised to 300 points, and my free attributes also reached 300!

At this time, fill the free attribute points into the lost attributes, and immediately gain the basic strength to open the door again.

A sealed door quietly opened.

I saw a heavy black coffin placed inside the door, and the surrounding walls and floor were covered with flashing runes.

——It is exactly the sealed place where Yun Ni was sealed!
"Yun Ni?"

Shen Ye shouted.

A few breaths have passed.

A faint female voice sounded from the coffin:
"My condition seems to have stabilized. The inner demon has been suppressed by me and can no longer erode my soul."

"Thank you, Shen Ye."

Shen Ye's eyes flickered, and he said, "You're welcome. Can you come out now?"

"Anytime, just let me out." The female voice in the coffin responded.

"...I actually want to let you out, but there is something I must tell you in advance." Shen Ye said.

"What's the matter?" asked the voice from the coffin.

Shen Ye paused for a few breaths before speaking:
"Where is the real Yun Ni?"

"What are you talking about? I am Yun Ni." The female voice in the coffin said in surprise.

"No, you are not her—you are her inner demon." Shen Ye said.

"Are you mentally ill? I am Yun Ni. You were the one who sent me here. Don't you remember?" said the female voice.

Shen Ye's tone became deeper, but he was talking about something else:

"Once I destroy the statue of the Supreme Taoist Palace with the Pestle, what will happen next?"

"——Could it be that there is a power hidden inside to destroy the entire Dao Palace?"

The female voice was silent.

Shen Ye continued: "You replaced Yun Ni and appeared in the Supreme Taoist Palace, trying to survive all the way until you were forced into a desperate situation -"

"So, where did the real Yun Ni go?"
