Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"I'm getting old," the fan sighed.

Shen Ye hesitated for a moment.

With just one wave, this fan could only break defenses.

He wasn't sure if it only broke the spirit's defense, or if it also shattered the physical defenses.

Should he give it a try?

He raised the fan, aiming it at himself.

"Forget it, I'm afraid you'll tear me apart," the fan said.

"It's okay, my defenses aren't that easily broken," Shen Ye reassured.

"Don't you have any idea what kind of things you've done?" the fan remarked ominously.

Shen Ye then abandoned the thought.

—Forget about it.

Why make things difficult for himself!

This fan...

Better to put it away before someone else uses it to break his defenses.

"How about you stay inside my Dharma Aspect?" Shen Ye asked.

"As long as I don't go back to the seal, I'm fine with anything," the fan replied.

"Good, then come to my Dharma Aspect."

Shen Ye immediately activated "Encounter at the Jade Terrace Under the Moon" and placed the fan on the stele.

The fan looked around from its position on the stele.

—Beneath the stele was an area of only a few square meters.

In the distance lay an endless expanse of destructive darkness.

The White Bone Palace stood majestically upon the mountains and rivers.

Besides that—

There was nothing else.

"Damn, this is terrifying... I might as well be sealed," the fan muttered under its breath.

Before the words had fully faded, the two giants seemed to sense something and both looked towards the fan.

The fan quickly shut its mouth and lay motionless on the stele.

Daring not to move at all.

How could there be such a terrifying Dharma Aspect in the world?

—This is a complete rip-off!

The fan felt its defenses shatter.

Shen Ye put away his Dharma Aspect and rubbed his eyes.

Having opened the door three times consecutively, and after dealing with so much, he was essentially working an all-nighter.

Sleepiness surged within him.

However, there was still work to be done.

—That necromancer, James, had sent him two boxes.

What was inside them?

Let's take a look.

He'd rest after examining the two boxes.

Shen Ye flipped his hand and placed two boxes on the table.

That James shouldn't be a necromancer, right?

It was also unclear from which universe's layer the strong entity hailed and whether it could muster forces to overcome the giants at the gates of the White Bone Palace.

While Shen Ye pondered this, he reached to open the wooden box.

Suddenly,

A rift opened in the void.

A graceful figure quietly appeared in front of the table.

Shen Ye stopped his hand.

"Greetings, Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor," he hastily saluted.

"Mm."

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor's gaze was immediately drawn to the two boxes on the table.

"Gifts from someone else?" she inquired.

"Yes—gifts from a strong entity from another universe," Shen Ye replied.

"Why give them to you?" asked Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor.

"They asked me about my experience with the Immortal Country's trials, as well as some intelligence regarding the Immortal Country," Shen Ye answered without hesitation.

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor nodded her head.

Immortal Country, eh.

It was already destroyed.

The Heavenly Technique wasn't even there.

Those guys were still putting in so much effort, which was simply laughable.

"Why didn't you call me 'sister' just now?" Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor asked.

"Your honor's arrival was so abrupt, I instinctively said the title, forgetting to call you 'sister'," Shen Ye admitted truthfully.

"Say 'sister' and let me hear it," Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor said, looking at the scenery outside the window without turning her head.

Shen Ye was taken aback.

Big sis, aren't you—

Are you really going to play this game?

Haven't you heard that what goes around comes around?

"Sister."

Shen Ye called out "sister."

"In light of the fact you called me 'sister'—"

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor gestured towards the two boxes from afar.

Click!

Click!

The two boxes were promptly opened, and out jumped two grey little people, one large and one small.

The little grey people wore smiles and, upon seeing Shen Ye, were just about to speak when they caught sight of Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor.

The two little grey people were shocked and immediately attempted to flee.

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor stretched out her hand and made a sweeping gesture.

The grey figurine was immediately immobilized in midair, unable to move.

"This is an Undead Minion from the Seventy-Fourth Universe, without great strength, you would never escape their grasp,"

"—Those who haven't seen them would never know their secret,"

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor said.

"This isn't anything good, is it?" Shen Ye asked.

"On the contrary, they're quite useful—they possess special powers and will help you accomplish various tasks, serving you diligently as a servant would,"

"No matter how much time passes, they will never betray you,"

"Unless—"

"Unless what?" Shen Ye asked.

"Unless their true master issues a command, whether to have them kill you, hand over all your information, control you—in short, they would immediately turn against you,"

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor said.

As she explained, a faint glow formed lines of small characters that appeared before Shen Ye's eyes:

"This object possesses one special ability:"

"Without seeing them, you cannot know their true power."

"Fortunately, with Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor's explanation, that ability has been neutralized, thus you can obtain the information about this object:"

"Dark Servant."

"A special class of beings."

"Description: They possess various unimaginable powers and will dutifully do anything for you until their master issues a new order."

"—It's all just a matter of the master's command."

In a good mood, Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor joked:

"Do you want to use them? Actually, they can be quite helpful, so long as you maintain a good relationship with their master, you don't have to worry about them turning on you."

"I'd better not," Shen Ye repeatedly shook his head.

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor pointed with her hand.

The two little ones fell back into the box, and Cloud Rainbow placed a talisman on it, sealing them within.

"Alright, the reason I came here was actually to discuss something important with you,"

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor said.

"Sister, please speak," Shen Ye said.

At this moment, he felt a certain sense of gratitude well up inside him.

James's methods were really well concealed.

If he let the two little ones lurk near him, it wouldn't be long before the other party knew that Vampire Baxter was Shen Ye.

That would be problematic.

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor turned around and said to him:

"I was originally comprehending the Way in the Ninety-Nine Heavens, on the brink of a breakthrough, about to become a Saintly Honor level powerhouse, when the Heart Demon Tribulation struck down."

"Only by overcoming this Heart Demon can I achieve a complete ascension."

"How can you defeat the Heart Demon?" Shen Ye asked.

"I don't know—everyone's Heart Demon is different, and very few people can cultivate to the Saintly Honor realm, so there aren't many examples to refer to," Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor said.

Shen Ye was somewhat baffled.

—Why are you telling me about such a high and mighty matter?

I'm only at the Sixth Layer of the Magic Realm.

"Sister, don't worry, the video I took yesterday has already been put up on the video rankings, and it's now in first place—I'll help you top the rankings with videos every day,"

Shen Ye speculated, as he spoke.

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor said: "You've indeed done well, and I'm very satisfied, but there's no need to continue shooting those videos."

"Hmm! Huh?"

"Yes, there's no need to shoot them anymore, for I must now concentrate on facing my Heart Demon,"

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor turned her physique.

All the brilliance and mana fluctuations around her vanished, and the long dress of white rainbow silk disappeared with it, to be replaced by an extremely simple white shirt and black jeans.

—At this moment, she looked just like a normal woman from this world.

Aside from being too beautiful, she was exactly like a mortal.

"To confront the Heart Demon, one must immerse oneself in the mortal world to comprehend the Way,"

"—I've chosen your world."

"But ours is the lowest level universe," Shen Ye said.

"Later, I'll explain the hierarchy of the universe to you, but for now, to ensure that I can peacefully comprehend the Way here—"

Cloud Rainbow walked back to the window and gazed at the sky.

"A very troublesome fellow has come... it wants to destroy everything."

"Who is it?" Shen Ye asked impulsively.

"Destroyer Experiencer—a being beyond reason that revels in the destruction of worlds, taking pleasure in experiencing the momentary change in the laws as planets are annihilated,"

Cloud Rainbow's tone suddenly softened.

She spoke quietly,

"Shen Ye, you've done a lot for me, strictly speaking, I owe you a favor."

"—Now do you want me to save your world?"

"If you want, I can act, but then I won't owe you a favor."

Without hesitation, Shen Ye said:

"Sister, if you take action, will you be in danger?"

Cloud Rainbow raised an eyebrow unexpectedly.

He actually asked this.

...Who would ask such a thing?

"It's very dangerous, I might die," Cloud Rainbow said.

"Then forget it, we will manage it ourselves," Shen Ye said immediately, "anyway, in this 'Indefinite Layer' universe, no matter how powerful it is, it can't be that bad."

"I will inform the teacher and others."

He took out his phone to call Xu Xingke's number, but his phone was snatched away in an instant.

"I was just kidding earlier, I'm not scared of it at all."

Cloud Rainbow placed the phone on the table and looked at him again:

"If I drive away that fellow, I won't owe you a favor."

With that, she vanished in a flash.

Only Shen Ye was left standing in front of the window sill.

"Favor... since when did she owe me a favor?"

"Just because I'm the younger brother?"

"It's so inexplicable..."

He muttered to himself in a low voice.
