Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 654 - 368 Supreme Binding Life Refining Soul Palace_4

The consumption of spirit stones to maintain the entire sect’s operation was truly terrifying.

Now that someone had presented a Spirit Stone Mountain Range, no matter the current economic state of the sect, it would be a cause for relief.

Of course, such a grand gesture deserved thanks.

Their gaze fell once again on the scene playing out in the light shadow.

The house had gifted a Spirit Stone Mountain Range.

Yet the descendants of the giver, practicing in their own sect, lived in squalor without even a cave dwelling to call their own...

It was hardly sufficient.

After a moment’s contemplation, Saintly Honor spoke,

"Our Supreme Tao Palace has always had a good reputation among the scores of universes, we cannot let people gossip over such trivialities."

"But we cannot make it too obvious either; that would not be appropriate," the Vice Sect Leader added.

"Then let’s... initiate the trial for newcomers, summon the disciples who have just joined the sect, everyone to the sect’s secret realm for a trial. This way, it isn’t targeting him alone and also trains all the new disciples." one of the Supreme Elders suggested.

A silence ensued.

In the end, the decision-making power lay in the hands of Saintly Honor.

Everyone looked towards Saintly Honor.

Saintly Honor, however, smiled and said, "Others, please also share your opinions."

The Vice Sect Leader then spoke, "These newcomers don’t really have much strength— even if they were to sow the fields, they still need to grow and have value before that can be discussed."

The others nodded slightly.

Saintly Honor agreed with this view:

"New disciples truly are unremarkable... not worth wasting time and energy on. It would be better to start cultivating them sooner."

"Let’s proceed this way. Opening the secret realm will consume considerable mana. Send someone to prepare, and once ready, issue the order and then teleport."

He made a final decision with the pound of a gavel.

"Your subordinate obeys the order." The named Supreme Elder stood up, his physique flashing as he flew out of the Taoist Palace.

"The rest of you, disperse and rest."

"Yes!"

The crowd dispersed.

Within the great hall, only Saintly Honor was left.

He sat on the dais, changing the spell in his hand, and cast a technique.

A most eerie scene unfolded!

In the succession of light shadow images, disciples who were previously dead suddenly walked out from the void.

They were unharmed, continuing to do their tasks just as they had in life.

Elsewhere.

Mysterious Gate.

On the pinnacle of the mountain.

Shen Ye circulated his Cultivation Technique within a state of self-forgetfulness, stimulating his spiritual power, nourishing his meridians, and rotating his inner cycle.

Suddenly.

He felt a premonition and immediately exited his cultivation state, his eyes slowly opening.

"Sect Leader."

An urgent female voice rang out:

"At this late hour, no one should bother us—we can escape!"

Shen Ye glanced at the young girl beside him, only to see her spread-eagled on the grass as if deep in sleep.

This child was truly as cunning as a ghost.

No wonder so many were after her!

Perhaps she possessed incredible talent abilities?

Shen Ye thought it over and responded,

"Escape? Where do you think we can possibly escape to?"

The girl flipped over on the ground, murmured a few words of sleep talk, and still didn’t open her eyes.

"Anywhere is fine, Sect Leader! I’m only at the Law Realm Second Layer, with little strength; if you don’t take me with you, I have no option but death."

Toward the end, she sounded as though she was about to cry.

Shen Ye smiled, looking at the girl as he was about to speak, when suddenly lines of faint glowing text appeared:

"The Formation-Breaking Holy Staff has sensed the power fluctuations of the Supreme Tao Palace’s great formation and the invasion of the Supreme Heart Demon."

"Activating body protection function, breaking the illusion before your eyes, allowing you to see the truth."

In an instant.

Shen Ye noticed a dark shadow lying next to the girl.

The shadow glanced at the girl and then at Shen Ye, seemingly monitoring the situation here at all times.

Shen Ye’s heart grew cold.

Good thing he had not done anything suspicious!

He looked around.

But he saw flames engulfing the entire mountain, as far as the eye could see.

Endless souls were bound to the ground, undergoing the torment of the blazing inferno, crying out in ceaseless anguish.

Lines of faint glowing text appeared:

"You are looking at the Dharma Aspect·Supreme Binding Life Refining Soul Palace."

Be aware, this is the second mighty being you have encountered possessing this Dharma Aspect."

The second one.

A bone-chilling terror surged in Shen Ye’s heart.

Who was the first?

Yun Ni.

Her Dharma Aspect was the same as his master’s!

What exactly was their relationship!

Shen Ye calmed himself, gently exhaled, and kept his expression unchanged.

—The Ninety-Nine Layered Universe held far too many Techniques and abilities he simply did not understand.

He must be cautious from now on!

Suddenly.

A streak of firelight flew across the sky and landed in front of him:

"Mysterious Gate True Disciple Shen Ye, quickly assemble at the Central Hall; do not be late!"
