Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Shen Ye, dressed in the Law Enforcement Cultivator Robe, seemed to be out on official duties, naturally, no one stopped him.

He swaggered out of the mountain gate.

In an instant.

The light and shadows around him changed.

Shen Ye found himself back on the third layer of the ruins.

He had an additional gemstone in his hand.

It was still a demonized gemstone.

— Next time there's a chance, he could make another trip.

As for now—

He opened a door and directly returned to his cave dwelling.

The Primordial Formless Fiend was still on the Death Planet.

The battle had ceased.

The real Saintly Honor had indeed abandoned the affairs of the Death Planet and was quickly heading towards the Supreme Dao Palace.

Should he go and see the outcome?

Shen Ye's thoughts stirred.

The Formless Heavenly Demon opened a Gate of Heaven, stepped through it, and reached the main peak of the Dao Palace.

He waited for a few moments.

The Saintly Honor quietly landed at the entrance of the Council Hall.

Several Supreme Elders had already been waiting there for a long time.

One of the elders immediately brought out a box:

"Saintly Honor, please look!"

The Saintly Honor reached out and summoned, the Holy Staff flew out of the box and landed in front of him.

He glanced at it and then spoke,

"It is indeed the Formation-Breaking Holy Staff. Where did you find it?"

A Supreme Elder answered, "Reporting to your honor, after you razed the Council Hall, we rebuilt it, and suddenly we noticed some unusual noises from beneath. Digging through the soil, we found this box deep underground."

Another elder flattered, "Yun Ni truly knew how to hide, placing the Holy Staff in the most obvious place."

"—If it weren't for you destroying the Council Hall and breaking the Concealment Array inside the box, we really wouldn't have found it!"

The Saintly Honor didn't say much else, extending a finger and lightly touching the Formation-Breaking Holy Staff.

The staff instantly transformed into a streak of flowing light and flew towards the corner where the Nine Palaces Bagua Furnace was located.

Clang!

A crisp sound of metal striking.

With just one hit, the secret compartment was shattered.

The compartment was empty.

"How can this be!"

One of the Supreme Elders exclaimed.

"The power of the Pill Furnace has always been intact, and the Ban Array has never been touched. How could there be nothing inside?" another Supreme Elder said.

"This is troublesome…" the Saintly Honor shook his head, surprisingly revealing a smile, and asked, "These past few days, who was in charge of guarding the Council Hall?"

"Sect Leader, it was me," an elder said.

Suddenly, space contracted sharply.

That elder, like a bursting tomato, was crushed into a mass of flesh by an invisible force and pulled into the void, disappearing.

Chewing sounds emerged.

All the Supreme Elders kneeled down, chanting in unison, "Welcome Saintly Honor's return."

The Saintly Honor's expression was mild.

The entire hall quieted down.

Only the chilling sound of chewing could be heard.

"Just now, my Heart Demon Dharma Form was broken."

The Saintly Honor finally spoke.

"In the records of Penglai Mountain, the Dharma Aspect obtained from practicing the Heaven Connecting Technique is the Life-Binding Soul Refining Palace."

"Only a higher-level Soul Refining Palace can cause a lower-level one to collapse."

"That means—"

"You guardians here, intended to use the relics of Penglai Mountain to construct a trap, aiming to lure the true inheritor of the Heaven Connecting Technique."

"Now he has come before you and has also cultivated the Supreme Forgetting Love Feathering Ascension Scripture, thus creating an even stronger Life-Binding Soul Refining Palace and breaking my Heart Demon Dharma Form."

"—Yet you were completely unaware of it."

The Saintly Honor slightly smiled, opened his mouth, and two words popped out between his teeth:

"Useless."

Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud—

Amid the rapid-fire sounds, several Supreme Elders were struck by invisible forces and flung against the transparent air wall, their bodies mangled.

The Saintly Honor stood still, his expression cold.

The elders were almost beaten to death, yet they dared not care about their injuries at all, tremblingly kneeling on the ground, crying out "Spare us."

After listening for a while, a look of weariness appeared on his face, he turned around, ascended the platform, and sat down.

"I need to know everything that's been happening in the sect recently."

"—All of it, do not hide anything. Tell me everything!"

His voice echoed throughout the entire Council Hall.

The Formless Heavenly Demon hid at the entrance of the hall, watching the entire scene unfold before its eyes.

Elsewhere.

Mysterious Gate Peak, cave dwelling.

Shen Ye's expression was somewhat solemn, muttering to himself in his mind:

"I completely didn't see him make a move, and that elder was crushed into a pulp."

"—How did he do it?"

From now on, everything in the sect would have to start changing.

He also had to prepare early.

For instance—

Shen Ye pulled out the jade slip, entered spiritual power into it.

In a flash.

A Cultivation Technique surfaced in his mind.

"Supreme Blood Demon Void Sanctification Method."

"Description: Refine the power of the bloodline from various exotic blood, using it to stimulate one's own bloodline, purifying and evolving it."

The so-called exotic blood refers to the blood of cosmic monsters.

—Those beings that can survive in the universe, their blood contains a power that surpasses mortals.

This "Supreme Blood Demon Void Sanctification Method" had discovered the method to refine that power.

Shen Ye still allocated all his free attribute points to Comprehension, instantly raising it to "624" points.

Thus, he quickly grasped the technique for the first layer of refinement.

"But currently, there are no cosmic monsters..."

"Wait a second!"

"I do have a cosmic monster."

"It's decided then, come out, Earth Demon Beast!"

Thump.

The void opened, and the Earth Demon Beast landed in front of Shen Ye.

It looked around at the surroundings.

—It didn't seem like a fight was about to happen.

What was the master planning to do?

Shen Ye tied a red armband around his arm and cleared his throat, saying:

"Earth Demon Beast, you've been with me for so long, but you really don't know much about who I am."

The Earth Demon Beast instinctively took a step back.
