Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 411: Taiyi Yanming Saves the Kumeng Palace

The top of Penglai Mountain.

The numerous magic arrays exuded powerful might, blocking out everything from the outside world.

Gems flew back and forth in the magic circle.

These were all chess pieces formed by the supreme magical powers of various practitioners during the most glorious period of the Immortal Kingdom.

They constitute the art—

The Supreme Saint King changes his form and spirit to play chess!
The original purpose of this technique is to allow people in the last days to go back to the past and find hope for the continuation of the fairyland when it encounters an insurmountable crisis in the future.

This is the ultimate means of self-rescue for the Immortal Kingdom.

however.

All the gems were flying in the air, but they were not activated continuously.

The Lord of Penglai Mountain kept changing the spells with his hands, as if he was releasing some magic, and he didn't care about controlling the chess pieces for a while.

A full half hour.

She finally succeeded in completing all the seals and said in a low voice:
"Soul Escape!"

A shadow emerged from her body, flew into the air, and looked back at her.

"No need to linger, just go."

The main road of Penglai Mountain.

The human-shaped shadow flew away.

The mountain master then made his hand seal again, controlling a gem to fall in front of him, and looked into the void.

She was about to release the gem, but she saw a hand suddenly stretched out from the void and grabbed her neck.

"Nan Xingman," a stiff male voice sounded, "You know that my strength is enough to destroy your entire Penglai Mountain. Even if Guanghan Palace and Haoyang Palace attack together, they can't stop one thousandth of my strength--"

The voice suddenly became violent and murderous:
"How dare you use the Supreme Saint King's Shape-Shifting and Soul-Shifting Skills to fight chess!"

The void opens.

A male monk with a gray and stiff face appeared on the top of the mountain.

He grabbed the neck of Nan Xingman, the Lord of Penglai Mountain, and lifted him up high.

The multiple defense formations guarding the mountaintop showed no reaction to him at all, as if they were unaware of his existence and could not sense his attack.

Nan Xingman's face was calm as he spoke:

"You're right. All of us combined can't beat you. Then come on, kill me, and destroy the entire Penglai Mountain. Let the Tongtian Technique die out and never be passed down again."

The friar roared.

Unparalleled power fluctuations emanated from him, completely destroying the defensive formation on the top of the mountain.

Dense blood-red lightning emerged from the void, covering the entire Penglai Mountain.

Amidst the deafening sound of thunder.

Several monks who tried to fly to the top of the mountain were touched by the blood-red lightning and instantly turned into ashes.

The monk laughed and said:

"Do you really think I dare not touch your Penglai Mountain?"

"Penglai Mountain has been destroyed." Nan Xingman said calmly.

The male monk was startled and looked around.

The peaks of Penglai Mountain were shaking constantly, and it seemed as if a stream of hot air was rising from beneath the earth.

——That is a super large formation hidden underground. Once its power is unleashed, it is enough to destroy a small planet.

The male monk's face changed drastically. He threw Nan Xingman away and pressed his hands towards the ground.

"I have been preparing for a long time and have already destroyed the foundation of the mountain. You are too late. It is too late."

Nan Xingman said.

"No!" the monk shouted angrily.

The destructive force that rose into the sky was gathered into a line by him, which instantly cut Penglai Mountain in half.

This is already the best ending.

but--

The earth suddenly cracked open.

The Penglai Mountain, which was split into two parts, suddenly collapsed downwards.

The male monk flashed and landed in the abyss, with his hands raised upwards.

The Penglai Mountain, which was about to sink into the depths of the earth, was suddenly held up in the air by him.

Nan Xingman stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the scene.

She sighed and said:

"I told you, it's too late."

Hundreds of flying gems landed in front of her and were touched by her hand.

Suddenly, screams were heard from Mount Penglai.

——Those practitioners who betrayed Penglai died on the spot one after another.

Everyone is dead.

How to pass on the heritage?
Nan Xingman grabbed an extremely beautiful gem and squeezed it gently.

Click.

The gem shattered.

Nan Xingman also fell to the ground, no longer breathing.

She is dead.

"Do not--"

The male cultivator held up Mount Penglai with both hands and let out a desperate roar.

He shook his body, releasing a phantom, and flew to the top of Penglai Mountain, quickly forming a magic seal towards Nan Xingman's body.

"The soul wants to escape? No way!"

the other side.

The heyday of the fairyland.

Haoyang Palace.

Shen Ye was sitting in a thatched hut, cross-legged, trying hard to read a jade slip.

The void flickered.

Suddenly, lines of dim words appeared:

"You have become the new master of Penglai Mountain."

"You are qualified to use Douqi."

"The Supreme Saint King's Shape-Shifting and Soul-Shifting Chess-Playing Technique has been instilled into you."

"You are currently the most important chess piece among all the chess pieces, the 'Piece of the Past', and you are also the chess player."

"The previous Penglai Mountain Lord Nan Xingman gave you a chance to choose."

"You can choose to continue playing chess, or give up."

"Nan Xingman thinks it's best to give up."

"——Will you continue the current chess game?"

"Once you choose 'yes', all the power of the previous Lord of Penglai Mountain will be transferred to you for you to use to ensure that the chess game continues."

"——This was something that had been arranged long ago."

Shen Ye's expression froze.

Why did the Lord of Penglai Mountain give himself the qualification to play chess?
What happened to her?
Shen Ye felt something in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of chess pieces suddenly appeared in the void.

The game isn't over yet.

Do I want to play against the master who ends all eras?

Do not!
In fact, the real solution is -

Give up the game.

And at the fastest speed!

"I give up this chess game and voluntarily withdraw from the current battle."

Shen Ye said.

The words have not yet fallen.

Ripples appeared in the void.

It was as if something wanted to travel through endless time and space, following the guidance of the chess pieces, and arrive at this era.

But the game is over!
Xu Qingfeng - or Shen Ye, was pulled by a huge force and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

He jumped from the prosperous era of the fairyland to the day of the destruction of Mount Penglai, and then disappeared from that day and returned to tens of thousands of years later.

The fourth floor of the ruins.

Shen Ye's figure flashed and appeared quietly.

The so-called Supreme Saint King's chess game of changing shape and spirit has come to an end.

Now that the magic has ended, the two players naturally returned to their original positions.

The Terminator could no longer follow the fluctuations of the magic to find Shen Ye.

As for Shen Ye——

He directly activated the entry "Scandal Protagonist".

This is to disrupt all information about oneself and prevent the other party from following clues.

Then he flipped his hand and two gems suddenly appeared.

One of them is the "Son of the Past" which represents the identity of "Xu Qingfeng".

As for the other one——

According to the convention of each time traveling, after one is used up, the second one will appear immediately.

This is the new identity.

"Nan Xingman thinks it's best to give up."

This sentence is already an obvious hint.

Giving up the chess game was just one of the many tactics she had planned.

What she really wanted to leave behind was this new gem.

Or--

It is this chess piece hidden after the Supreme Saint King finished his chess game of changing shape and shifting spirit!
Shen Ye was slightly tempted, but quickly calmed down.

The Lord of Penglai Mountain does have a lot of plans.

But the Lord who ends all eras has more means!

Now thinking back carefully, I rescued half of the soul of the Lord of Penglai Mountain in the Dharma form of the Holy Lord's Inner Demon, the "Taishang Life-Binding and Soul-Refining Palace".

——If tens of thousands of years ago, only half of her soul escaped, and the remaining half presided over the chess game, so that she didn't escape in the end——

That's right.

she was.

He was caught at the moment when Mount Penglai was destroyed tens of thousands of years ago.

Even practitioners have the ability to search souls.

Doesn’t the Lord have the end of all eras?
Shen Ye looked at the chess piece in his hand, pondered for a while, and put it into the Dharma image.

The four kings caught the gem.

"Go, throw this gem deep into the Dharma Realm, the farther away from us the better."

Shen Ye said.

The four kings immediately went to carry out their mission.

Shen Ye suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

This is a knee-jerk reaction.

now.

Breaking away from the Supreme Saint King's art of changing form and spirit to play chess.

He also escaped from the clutches of the Penglai Mountain Lord.

I am now tens of thousands of years after that battle.

Changes in the sea.

Everything is different.

No one knows what I will do next.

Shen Ye took out a ring made of tree branches and put it on his finger.

"Frost and Snow Plum."

"All abilities or skills that are on cooldown can be immediately released again with the help of this ring."

This is tens of thousands of years later!
With this rare ring——

Shen Ye transformed into an emperor, releasing a spiritual light that reaches the sky, increasing all his attributes sevenfold.

Then he raised his hands and quickly formed a magic seal.

The Supreme Saint King changes his form and spirit to play chess!
All of a sudden.

Beautiful gems appeared in the void again.

There is one benefit to using gems.

Every time I go to ancient times, I use the identity, appearance, memory, and everything else of ancient people.

This time, apart from the era of Penglai's destruction, there is another intelligence myth entry called "Scandal Protagonist" -

If I go back to that era, no one will know who I am!

Shen Ye used all his strength to activate the magic seal.

A gem fell into his hand.

The glimmer of light emerged into small words:
"You activated the 'Supreme Saint King's Shape-Shifting and Soul-Shifting Chess Technique'."

"This time we will transcend the historical event of the destruction of Penglai Mountain, go against the tide, and return to the most prosperous era of the Immortal Kingdom."

"Under the influence of the rare item 'Frost and Snow Plum', although you have used the 'Son of the Past' chess piece, you have one more chance to activate this chess piece in the chess battle."

"You activated this chess piece!"

The door opens.

Shen Ye took a step forward.

Once again transformed into the thirteen-year-old Xu Qingfeng.

Sitting in the thatched cottage.

at the same time.

In Haoyang Heavenly Palace, several lines of live text appeared in front of all the practitioners:

"Xu Qingfeng is offline."

"Xu Qingfeng is online again."

Everyone's face was filled with questions.

——From Haoyangshi's reaction, this newcomer has good talent. But what does this online and offline mean?
How come your train of thought is so unique?
Shen Ye sat still and looked into the void.

Several lines of small, dim words had already appeared:

"The Supreme Saint King's Shape-Shifting and Soul-Shifting Chess Game has ended, and all the negative effects you have suffered have also dissipated."

"All your attributes have been liberated."

"Your summoning restrictions have been lifted."

really.

All the negative effects in the game have disappeared!

Now I just have to wait for the last thing -

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

time flies.

A full quarter of an hour passed.

Nothing unusual.

——It can be basically confirmed.

Tens of thousands of years later, in the battle to destroy Mount Penglai, the Lord of the End of All Eras won the chess game.

In this case, will it just wait there?
He kept waiting at the same place in Penglai Mountain until tens of thousands of years later, when a boy named Shen Ye appeared in the amorphous layer of the universe.

Waiting for this person to start a chess game again?
Do not!
It had no idea that this would happen again!

It won’t wait in Penglai Mountain!

The evidence is——

At that moment in the future, the seal of the Lord of the End will no longer be in the holy site of Mount Penglai.

It went to the depths of the Dharma Realm Ocean!

Shen Ye's heart slowly settled down.

So……

Maybe we can turn off the live broadcast?

Shen Ye refocused his attention on the entry-level jade slip in front of him.

The introductory jade slip contains four skills: "Mountain King Technique", "Chaining Knife", "Fufeng Sword" and "Lianshan Cannon Chui".

Among them, "Mountain King Technique" is the entry-level Taoist technique, while the knife, sword, and cannon hammer are all basic moves.

These are definitely enough for children who are just starting out.

But for myself...

It's really not enough.

Shen Ye was thinking for a while.

Although the Terminator doesn't know what happened here, I can't waste time.

Find a way to stand out quickly.

——Strive to obtain the qualification to practice the Heaven-shaking Art as soon as possible!
So--

It does require a little trickery.

A few breaths have passed.

The sect monks suddenly found a few lines of small words appearing before their eyes:
"Xu Qingfeng picked up the jade slip and read through 'Chaining Knife'."

"He learned the 'serial knife'."

"Xu Qingfeng picked up the jade slip again and read the 'Mountain King Art'."

"He learned the 'Mountain King Technique'."

"With a 'pop' sound, the jade slip was thrown to the ground."

"Xu Qingfeng raised his lips slightly and said with disdain:"

"'That's it?'"

The monks stared at the live text in a daze.

Soon someone started to show off.

Deep in the floating island, an exasperated voice sounded:

"How dare you, ignorant boy, look down on the various methods of my Haoyang Heavenly Palace?"

The words have not yet fallen.

A jade slip came through the air, instantly flew into the thatched hut, and landed in front of Shen Ye.

A few breaths have passed.

Everyone saw new live text pop up:

"Xu Qingfeng picked up the new jade slip."

"He read through the 'Subduing Demon Mountain Divine Art' and couldn't help but exclaimed, 'Wow! What a great technique!'"

"Xu Qingfeng has learned the 'Mountain God Technique of Subduing Demons'."

"He patted you on the back and asked, 'Anything else?'"

Learned it?
real or fake!

If everyone just treated the previous Mountain King Art as a joke, this Demon Subduing Mountain God Art was different.

This is the authentic inherited martial arts method of the sect’s disciples!
Although you, Xu Qingfeng, were recognized by Haoyangshi as a genius who would never appear in the world, but to understand the magic formula of Fumo Mountain so quickly——

How can it be?

All the monks moved at the same time and flew to Shen Ye's thatched cottage.

I saw an old Taoist with a white beard and wearing a yellow Taoist robe had already taken the lead and stood in front of Shen Ye, muttering:
"You have just entered the sect, and you have already mastered the Demon Subduing Mountain Divine Art. This is too fast."

"Yes." Shen Ye bowed.

What I practice is the most difficult Taoist scripture in the world——

The Supreme Forgets Love and Flies into Heaven!

I have understood this Taoist scripture clearly, and all the terms and meanings of Taoism are clear to my mind.

——Are you still afraid of your extremely normal sect's Taoist scriptures?

"According to the rules of our sect, disciples who have mastered the magic of the Demon-Subduing Mountain must go down the mountain to gain experience and slay demons and eliminate evil. Do you know why?" asked the old Taoist.

“The Demon Subduing Mountain Divine Art is extremely easy to practice. You only need to concentrate on the method to practice it. However, to fully practice its power to the ninth level, you must kill nine types of demons. The strength of each type must be at least twice that of the previous one.” Shen Ye said.

As he spoke, he practiced his skills.

next second.

I saw the word "mountain" appear above his head.

Everyone exchanged glances.

——If you can cultivate this word, it will prove that you have mastered the magic of Fumo Mountain.

This guy didn't lie!

"Go and subdue demons and monsters. When your Mountain God Technique can be condensed into the entry of 'Subduing Demons Mountain God', come back."

The old Taoist looked at him and said meaningfully:

"If you can master the skills within three months, I will allow you to practice higher-level Dao techniques."

"Disciple obeys your command!" Shen Ye said.

"You go." The old Taoist stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly.

"Disciple can't fly." Shen Ye said.

The old Taoist was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.

——Xu Qingfeng has just entered the Tao not long ago, and his spiritual power has just taken shape. He is just a beginner.

"I'll take you there!" The old Taoist patted him on the shoulder.

The world is spinning.

Shen Ye disappeared in an instant.

The old Taoist stood there, breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured in a low voice:
"That's good now. There's no small characters to disturb everyone's practice."

The onlookers couldn't help but nod their heads.

——Haoyang Heavenly Palace is a holy place for spiritual practice for all the civilizations in the world. Everyone is busy as hell, so how could they want to watch a little kid like you practicing spiritual practice live every day?

But this is a right granted to him by the sect's sacred object, the Haoyang Stone, so it's hard to say anything about him.

Now he left the sect.

All are happy.

As everyone was thinking about it, they saw a few lines of small words appear in the void.

"Xu Qingfeng was sent into the teleportation formation and was randomly teleported away."

"Before leaving, he snorted and said unhappily, 'You guys are chasing me away because you feel inferior to me, hahahaha, you are useless.'"

"'——I, Xu Qingfeng, will come back!'"

"Narrator:"

"He is only thirteen years old."

"He thinks everyone here is garbage."

"With a 'swish' sound, he was teleported away."

Everyone was speechless for a while.

——There are too many sentences in your live text broadcast!
However, it is a good thing for a sect to have talented disciples.

Besides, he was only thirteen years old and had just entered the Tao. His arrogance was just fun for fun and he had a simple nature.

It's not worth getting angry about.

"It's good to be confident, but if you are too confident, you will become arrogant. Remember this."

The old Taoist admonished the practitioners around him.

"We will follow the master's instructions!" everyone said in unison.

the other side.

Shen Ye was teleported to a small village.

A special magical power lingered around him for a while before slowly disappearing.

The shimmer appeared in small letters:
"All transmission fluctuations and traces have been erased."

"——This is the general treatment for disciples of Haoyang Palace who go out for individual trials."

"Now that no one knows your identity, you can begin."

What to start with?
Shen Ye looked up.

There is a "mountain" character above my head.

Now we have to go out and exorcise demons and monsters, and turn it into an entry called "Subduing Demon Mountain God".

suddenly.

For some reason, I felt sleepy.

so tired.

People say that long-distance travel is very tiring.

I have traveled back and forth for tens of thousands of years, and the frost and snow plum in my hand has withered a little, and I am extremely tired.

Take a rest first?
Shen Ye found a hidden tree, jumped up, and hid deep in the lush leaves.

The last moment.

He released the Invisible Demon Saint King to guard him.

Then he fell into a deep sleep.

Time passes slowly.

This is just an ordinary mountain forest, and the Invisible Demon Saint King and Fei Lun are guarding it.

Shen Ye slept peacefully.

Until it was almost dark——

He had a long dream.

In the dream, I killed all kinds of demons along the way, and at the same time was attracted by the many Taoist methods and techniques of this era. I walked and stopped, and it took me two months to return to the sect.

This is already one month shorter than the time required by the headmaster!

however.

The headmaster and the elders gathered together and shook their heads:
"It seems that this child is not destined to be like that."

"Only those who successfully achieve the title of 'Mountain God of Subduing Demons' within a month will be eligible to learn the Heaven Shaking Technique."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Shen Ye opened his eyes suddenly.

Whatever!
I will start slaying demons and monsters now, and try my best to complete the items as soon as possible and return to the sect.

Besides, I have some convenient means.

Swallowing entries the fastest...

In a month, if you devour a few more entries, you will definitely catch up.

Shen Ye thought silently in his heart.

He jumped up, rubbed his hands, and was ready to take action immediately.

But next second.

He suddenly came to his senses again.

wrong……

It was just a dream, why did I take it seriously?

Still not right!

Why was that dream so vivid?

Suddenly, he saw lines of tiny words appearing in front of him:
"You are at the ninth level of the Dharma Realm."

"It will take 24 hours for your Dharma form to merge and transform."

"The time has come. Your 'Blood Moon' and 'Soul Palace' have been integrated, completing the transformation of your Dharma form."

Is the Dharma accomplished?

Shen Ye's mind suddenly came to him, and he was about to activate his Dharma image.

But then a few more lines of small words appeared:

"In fact, you inherited the Hun Tian Technique through the Hun Tian Sect, and traced it all the way to the Golden Seal of the Earth. In order to save Chatelet, you finally activated it."

"You are one of the two masters recognized by Hun Tian Shu."

"The fusion of the Blood Moon of the Universe and the Soul Palace of the Heavens has resulted in the following Immortal Kingdom Dharma:"

"Taiyi Yanming saved Kumeng Temple."

“Description: The suffering, danger, and regret that are about to happen will appear in your mind in the form of a dream, and nothing can escape your gaze.”

"In addition: This Dharmakāya is incredibly powerful, far more than this; you need to further increase your strength before you can unleash its greater power."
