Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"You call, and they shall come."

"You don't call, and they still know where you are."

"— So reassuring, completely under control."

Shen Ye's eyes lit up.

— It turned out this was a location-sharing item.

Having this item was actually to his advantage.

It was too advantageous!

At that moment, the Jade Token emitted a glow, enveloping Shen Ye.

In an instant,

He vanished from his original spot.

High up in the sky,

An unparalleled gigantic Flying Boat.

Shen Ye emerged quietly on the deck.

Many disciples were lined up here, with queues leading to the Sect's Law Enforcement Cultivators at the end; they were responsible for arranging accommodations and assignments.

Before Shen Ye could get a clear look around, a Law Enforcement Cultivator called out loudly:

"Nangong Wantu, come this way!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes,

Shen Ye had no choice but to squeeze through the crowd and stand at the very front of the line.

"The elders specifically mentioned your matter."

The leading Law Enforcement Cultivator had a gentle and spring-like facial expression.

"My matter?" repeated Shen Ye.

"Take this Token—" the Cultivator handed him a dazzling golden Token—"this is the best room on the Flying Boat; it's right at the heart of the spirit-gathering formation, very comfortable—go rest up."

Shen Ye found himself receiving a golden Token.

He took the Token, looked back, and made eye contact with the bustling crowd of disciples.

He understood.

Saintly Honour was making sure he wasn't hated enough yet.

"Thank you."

Shen Ye accepted the Token, whistled softly, and turned to head into the interior of the Flying Boat.

He entered the best room, took a lap, and checked everything over.

All was in order.

Now what?

Just rest here?

Shen Ye glanced at the bone bracelet on his wrist.

If Saintly Honour could know his location at all times—

This indicated on one hand that he truly trusted him, involving him in the action to expose the traitors;

On the other hand, it tied him down.

He couldn't do anything.

— But that wasn't entirely true.

"Four Kings."

Shen Ye silently summoned in his mind.

Within the Dharma Aspect, the Four Kings, who were originally playing poker, leapt up and saluted him.

"Earth Demon Beast," Shen Ye summoned again.

The Earth Demon Beast flew up into the air, transforming into a huge beast covered with Frost.

— This was a transformation ability it had acquired after evolution.

Shen Ye examined his summoned creatures for a moment, somewhat at a loss.

That Seal Gate seemed terrifying.

Were they up to it?

While pondering, suddenly a voice sounded within the Dharma Aspect:

"Why didn't you call me?"

The Big Skeleton descended from the void, standing in front of the Stele.

"Weren't you back in the Undead Empire visiting your mom? How come you're back?" Shen Ye asked, surprised.

"It wasn't exactly that—I underwent secret cultivation, and now I've returned having learned well," the Big Skeleton said proudly.

"Stronger now?" Shen Ye asked.

"My Undead Resurrection has made a breakthrough; I can now resurrect myself," said the Big Skeleton.

Shen Ye was startled, and then clapped his hands: "Your timing couldn't be better!"

"What do you mean?"

"I have a Seal Gate that's supposedly of Legendary Level—super high-level sealing; who knows what's inside. I was hesitating about how to explore."

"That's easy, I'll go in with you," the Big Skeleton said.

"Wait, let me get things ready, and then we'll go explore it."

"Alright."

Shen Ye withdrew his consciousness, placed his hand on the wall, and cried out softly:

"Gate."

A large door, forged entirely of metal, appeared on the wall.

The door was carved with countless Skeletons and shrouded in a thick Dark mist.

Indistinct cries of calling and wailing seemed to come from the door.

But on closer inspection, the door exuded a strange sense of stillness, with no actual noise.

"This door is indeed a bit creepy; heaven knows what's sealed inside," the Big Skeleton commented.

"Indeed," echoed Shen Ye.

"Shall we depart and have a look?" the Big Skeleton asked.

"Just a second."

Shen Ye stepped back and observed the Seal Gate.

Among all his secrets—

The gate had nothing to do with the Supreme Tao Palace.

Moreover, he had told Saintly Honour that he came here to study gate power.

So,

Even if the gate power was exposed, it wouldn't point to "Nangong Wantu came for the Heaven Connecting Technique, he's a descendant of Penglai Mountain."

Shen Ye left the room and made his way along the corridor until he ran into a Law Enforcement Cultivator.

"Senior Brother, is there a Scripture Pavilion on this Flying Boat? Or some leisure and entertainment areas?"

Shen Ye asked with a bow.

"The top of the Flying Boat has a viewing platform for enlightenment; you can observe the universe and stars outside, enhancing your cultivation insights—though it requires a substantial fee in Spirit Stones," the Law Enforcement Cultivator replied.

That would do.

Shen Ye headed straight for the viewing platform on the top of the Flying Boat.

Indeed, there was a fee.

— Two thousand Spirit Stones per hour.

Astronomical.

Shen Ye paid the fee, walked in, found a cushion to sit on, released his spiritual awareness, and gazed out at the Dark Universe.

Under the observation of his spiritual awareness, the various stars and energies became more intuitively apparent.

This allowed cultivators to more meticulously observe various Laws, thereby more deeply understanding Strength and enhancing their perceptual abilities.

"Would you like something to drink?" a female Law Enforcement Cultivator asked.

"Thank you, I don't drink alcohol; a beverage would be fine," Shen Ye stated.

A cup of Spirit Fruit juice was brought to him promptly.

Five hundred Spirit Stones.

Expensive!

Yet Shen Ye didn't care at all.

— Not because he had money to burn.

His observation of the universe served to maintain the image that "he always wanted the best of everything"; it also provided him with an "alibi".
