Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Shen Ye threw the talisman on the table, closed his eyes slightly, and began to quietly wait for the entire registration process to complete.

When the sect set out and the Saintly Honor also left—

He could boldly cultivate and open the Seal Gate!

Suddenly, a voice arose:

"Have you registered?"

Shen Ye jumped with fright, turned his head, and saw it was the Sect Master Saint.

"Lord Saintly Honor, could you please announce your arrival next time? You scared me to death."

Shen Ye complained.

"Haha, you, being what you are, still get scared? By the way, have you registered or not?" the Saintly Honor asked.

"I haven't registered," Shen Ye said.

"Why didn't you register?"

"Fighting with mortals from the Indefinite Layer is pretty boring, and besides, those rewards aren't appealing to me."

"...You have a point, but I need you to participate this time."

"Why?"

"Your reputation is terrible, and the cultivators in the sect all want to hit you," the Saintly Honor said.

"Me? My reputation is terrible?" Shen Ye asked, surprised.

"Harassing female cultivators, fishing for fame under pretense, claiming to refine Middle-grade Pills but causing explosions once you start, leaving gatherings without saying goodbye, suspected of killing a fellow sect friend for justice," the Saintly Honor explained.

Shen Ye's eyes widened.

"Alright, the alchemy and the matter of justice are indeed my fault, but your reputation has truly suffered," the Saintly Honor said.

"Then you should clear it up for me!" Shen Ye exclaimed.

"No, I need you to participate in this expedition," the Saintly Honor said.

Shen Ye explained, "I don't want to—"

"I know you're not interested," the Saintly Honor interrupted, "but I've been away from the sect for too long and no longer trust those old fools. You're the only one I completely understand and can trust."

Trust...

You must be joking.

Shen Ye met the Saintly Honor's gaze.

"Don't doubt—I know how hard it is to join the Heart of the Swarm. You're definitely a Talent of the king species, and that's something you can't fake," the Saintly Honor said.

Shen Ye sighed.

Your Heart Demon is too suspicious of me, causing a lot of trouble.

Now you trust me too much, also gearing up to stir up trouble.

—Are you playing with me!

Can't you make a compromise?

"Alright, you trust me, no problem, but what does that have to do with me participating in the expedition?" Shen Ye asked.

"Dao Zhengyi's associates will seek revenge— they will find an opportunity to kill you."

"It's easier for them to make a move during the expedition?" Shen Ye asked.

"Right," the Saintly Honor said.

"Once someone kills me, you'll use that to catch them and then uncover all the information about the organization behind them, is that it?" Shen Ye asked again.

"Right," the Saintly Honor repeated.

"Great, only a world where I am harmed is achieved," Shen Ye said.

"Don't say it like that—when you were human, you used blades, right?" the Saintly Honor asked.

"Right."

"Take this."

A blade was handed to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye looked down at the blade.

A faint light gathered above the long blade, forming glowing words:

"Heartbreak."

"Legendary Level Blade."

"Description: Attacks made with this blade will create a vacuum blade light that will hit the enemy directly through spatial jumps."

Shen Ye felt a leap in his heart.

His own Spring Rain Blade is a Dark Gold Level long blade.

If he could merge it with this Heartbreak Blade to cause a Super Evolution—

Would a Mythical Level blade appear?

"Lord Saintly Honor, is this your way of buying me over?" Shen Ye asked.

"Just a small compensation—after I capture those traitors, I'll give you a more substantial reward," the Saintly Honor said.

"Alright, for the sake of your sincerity, I'll grudgingly accept it."

Shen Ye took the long blade.

Immediately.

A bracelet made from some unknown creature's teeth also landed in his hand.

"Go register, and if anything happens, infuse this bracelet with your Spiritual Power, and I'll come right away," the Saintly Honor said.

"Why don't you just accompany me? That way, wouldn't you spot any issue immediately?" Shen Ye asked.

"I have to look after the whole sect; I can't always follow you," the Saintly Honor said.

"Is this major attack meant to wipe out that world of the Indefinite Layer?" Shen Ye asked again.

"I don't care about the survival of the Indefinite Layer world, it can't bring any real benefits."

"—This expedition is only for catching the traitors."

Having said that, feeling there was no need to continue, the Saintly Honor's figure flashed and vanished.

Shen Ye pondered for a few moments and muttered to himself:

"How does he appear and disappear like that?"

—Without any signs.

He could even appear directly in the array-protected cave.

This method of moving—

Who can fight against him!

Nevermind.

Let's not think too much about it.

Shen Ye left the cave, flew into the sky, and soon arrived at the main peak's Demon Subduing and Evil Exterminating Hall.

Many disciples had already received their expedition tasks.

Shen Ye also found an elder here and registered himself.

The elder handed him a Jade Token.

"You'll be teleported directly to the sect's giant Flying Boat soon."

"Before that, make sure you handle your affairs thoroughly."

"You have about fifteen minutes."

Only fifteen minutes!

Shen Ye found a secluded spot, placed the Heartbreak Blade into the Ring, and set it next to the Spring Rain Blade.

—Has Vampire Kiddo rested up yet?

Accompanying his thought, a line of glowing small text appeared:

"Not yet."

Quite succinct!

Shen Ye didn't overthink it and found a quiet spot to sit down and rest.

The bracelet given by the Saintly Honor...

He turned his wrist, gazed at the gray-white bone bracelet, and quietly activated the "Tool of Fate."

"Wearer of this device, you're constantly sharing your location;"

"Even across vast cosmic spaces, you shine like a light in the dark;"
