Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Shen Ye hurriedly explained, "You were in a coma, so I had no choice but to put you on the bed and then I injected you with something for treatment."

He was about to say something more, but Yun Ni interrupted him,

" No wonder I feel somewhat better, thank you."

Her tone was normal and calm, even somewhat gentle.

Shen Ye was slightly taken aback and then replied,

"Don't mention it."

After they finished speaking, both shut their mouths.

The atmosphere turned a bit awkward.

Suddenly, Yun Ni took out a diamond-shaped white jade and tapped on it with her hand.

A majestic male voice immediately erupted from the white jade,

"The five True Disciples of the Taoist Palace, perished while pursuing Charlotte."

"All rewards for the pursuit have tripled."

"The Elders Council proposes, please, Chief Disciple Yun Ni, take the field!"

"Does Yun Ni wish to undertake this assassination task?"

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor placed her hand on the diamond-shaped white jade and turned to look at Shen Ye,

"Little brother, do you think I should take this task?"

"Whose task was it originally?" Shen Ye asked.

"Mine," Yun Ni said.

"Then why hesitate? Go for the kill, there's a triple reward!" Shen Ye said, unable to comprehend.

Yun Ni indeed explained, "Some say I monopolized the highest-awarded tasks without sharing with others, so I gave up this task. It was to show everyone that I was actually considering their interests."

"You already gave it up, and now that others can't complete it, they're asking you again?" Shen Ye asked.

"Exactly, what do you think?" Yun Ni inquired.

"Now that they've come to you again, of course you don't accept," Shen Ye immediately changed his previous opinion.

Seeing that his judgment changed after knowing more information, Yun Ni found it natural and pressed on,

"Why not take it now?"

"Because if you were to accept it, you would be telling everyone that your previous concessions were just to send your fellow disciples to their deaths, to prove with their lives that you were right," Shen Ye said.

"...That makes sense." Yun Ni nodded slowly.

By not taking the task now, she was once again expressing her stance.

If she went back on her word for a triple reward—

Who would believe any of her words in the future?

Triple reward...

Heh.

An epiphany struck Yun Ni.

They were testing her!

But she still had doubts.

"If I, as the senior sister, don't avenge my junior brothers and sisters, wouldn't that also be wrong?"

She asked.

"Is there no one left in the Sect but you?" Shen Ye asked.

"That's not it."

As soon as Yun Ni said it, she understood.

Yes.

If they really wanted to avenge their disciples, the Saintly Honor himself could go.

Why nominate me immediately upon a death?

The spearhead was still aimed at me!

Because...

I was the greatest threat to that position.

Yun Ni extended her finger and lightly tapped the diamond-shaped white jade, saying,

"I have publicly stated that I will not interfere with this matter, and I will not go back on my word; let's call it off."

After saying this, she put away the white jade and turned to look at Shen Ye.

"There are some things I want to talk to you about."

"What is it?" Shen Ye asked.

"Do you know how old I am?" Yun Ni asked.

"...Sister is a bit older than me, seventeen?" Shen Ye said.

Yun Ni gave him a look and uttered a number that greatly shocked Shen Ye,

"No, I am twenty-one years old this year."

Shen Ye was dumbfounded.

What?

Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor, famous throughout countless universes, is only twenty-one years old this year?

How is that possible!

If she's only twenty-one—

How could her fame have spread across so many universes?

It didn't make sense!

Yun Ni sat motionless, a pill that radiated a rainbow divine brilliance appeared above her head.

"This is the Myriad Aspects Mirror Blossoming Saintly Fruit of Immortal Ascension."

She explained.

"Its power is so vast that I have not yet fully absorbed its strength to this day."

"The reason for my rapid cultivation progress is because I consumed it in my youth."

"Is it strong?" Shen Ye asked.

"It is the national treasure of the Supreme Immortal Country, when the Immortal Country was destroyed, it fled and hid in countless universes for countless years, finally landing in the Ninety-Nine Layered Universe, right in front of me."

Yun Ni looked nostalgic,

"As a child, I was quite gluttonous, and my family always had various elixirs, often feeding me, so I always wanted to taste any elixir I saw."

"This elixir was dirty and ugly; I originally didn't plan to eat it, but I was hungry at the time, so I ended up picking it up, blew on it, and swallowed it."

"So you're just twenty-one years old, and you've already achieved an unimaginable realm," Shen Ye said.

"That's right, but my foundation is too shallow, being too dominant within the Sect, and with my master dying on an external mission, I don't have close relationships."

"My Dharma Aspect also needs an endless supply of Strength to grow, which I couldn't get, so I've always been waiting for an opportunity."

"Not long ago, that opportunity finally came."

"Within your universe, a special existence named Charlotte was born."

Charlotte!

Shen Ye's heart leaped, vaguely realizing something.

"And then?" he prompted.

Yun Ni circulated a spell, setting up layers of Bans around, before continuing,

"She came to our world."

"After she got to know me, we instantly hit it off."

"She urgently needed various heavenly materials and earth treasures to enhance her strength; and I urgently needed to increase wisdom, broaden my horizons, gain prestige, and strengthen my Dharma Aspect."

She looked at Shen Ye, advising, "Remember, the Dharma Aspect actually represents a person's true strength, and in a real fight, the Dharma Aspect plays a decisive role."

"And 'fame'?"

"Fame is of course important, but it is very rare, normally Dharma Aspect comes first."
