Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 656 - 369 Wantu, Sirui, Go! (Big Chapter asking for subscription, folks!)_2

Shen Ye activated the keyword and then stood still on the spot.

Pockmarked Face sneered and said with a fierce voice, glaring with his triangular eyes,

"You trying to bluff me?"

The next instant.

Shen Ye’s physique flashed, suddenly leaping seventy to eighty meters away.

Seeing this, the others also unconsciously scattered in all directions.

Boom!!!

A pillar engulfed in flames fell from the sky, hitting the spot where Shen Ye had been standing.

Everyone was blown away, scrambling to steady themselves to avoid falling off the cliff.

Looking back at where Shen Ye had stood,

only a crater tens of meters deep remained.

A white-haired Taoist stood in mid-air and shouted,

"Activating the ban caused a small accident, fortunately, there were no casualties—okay, hurry to the hall and enter the ruins through the teleportation array."

He noticed the disciples were all staring at him blankly and felt somewhat baffled.

"What’s wrong?"

The white-haired Taoist subconsciously looked towards the crater.

"...Bring someone to check the identity, take them away to be buried, tsk—this was an accident, no one can avoid it."

Immediately, several cultivators came up to carry away the body.

It seemed just a small interlude; the death of the disciple did not affect the proceedings.

Everyone was quickly taken inside the hall.

But this time,

the space around Shen Ye was completely empty.

Seeing the "disaster" keyword above his head, everyone instinctively moved away.

The white-haired Taoist stood in the center of the hall and announced loudly,

"This relic has fallen here from an unknowable realm of the Upper Universe."

"After countless years of exploration by our Supreme Tao Palace, we’ve confirmed it to be a combat cultivation system of a higher civilization, though it is incomplete."

"—Only suitable for you new disciples to use."

"Give it your all, I hope you all can gain something in there."

"Lastly, I must say, you must be vigilant and pay attention to safety, because—"

"The mortality rate inside is one in five."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their heart.

One in five people might die.

Who can afford to take that lightly?

"Teleport!"

The white-haired Taoist commanded.

Layers upon layers of rune lights lit up inside the hall, swirling around the disciples.

The newly initiated disciples vanished one after another.

...

When the teleportation array lit up, everyone stood silently waiting.

Until all the light disappeared.

Inside the hall,

the white-haired Taoist was gone.

The other Law Enforcement Cultivators were also gone.

On the walls, the glowing flames emitted by the Spirit Jade quietly extinguished.

Darkness and silence prevailed.

The hall was still a hall, but upon closer inspection, it was filled with antiquity and dilapidation.

People slowly realized.

"We’ve arrived at the ruins!"

Many quickly walked out of the hall.

But Shen Ye stood still, surveying the entire hall.

—This hall’s layout, beams, ceilings, and decorations were identical to those of the Central Hall of the Supreme Tao Palace.

Why did the ruins that fell from the Upper Universe have the exact same architectural style as the Supreme Tao Palace?

Was the Supreme Tao Palace modeled after the ruins?

Or was there some other reason?

By this time, almost all the cultivators had left the hall.

Shen Ye was in no hurry and leisurely walked around the hall.

During his walk, a few returned to check on the situation in the hall.

Seeing the "disaster," they lost all interest in talking and quickly turned and left.

The ancient hall fell silent.

Shen Ye stood for a while, feeling very satisfied.

There was plenty of space in the hall, clearly some places for rest,

Even a stage for martial arts practice.

Most importantly, it was not covered by the Supreme Binding Life Refining Soul Palace!

That is to say, there would be no prying eyes.

This was too important.

With such an environment, rather than participating in the newbie trials, it would be better to cultivate right there in the hall.

To cultivate all the way to the Eightfold Dharma Realm.

— Compared to the newbie trials, the path to Connecting Heaven was definitely more important.

Of course,

he first needed to understand the situation clearly.

Shen Ye walked out of the hall, stepping onto the plaza outside.

A statue missing its upper body loomed there—

Only its legs, wrapped in heavy leg guards, remained, and the waist had a smooth, mirror-like cut, as though it had been severed by an incredibly powerful strike.

Next to this pair of legs stood a broken sword.

As soon as Shen Ye appeared, the half-statue began to buzz,

"We have seven trials: Attribute Growth, Dharma Aspect Adjustment, Skills Strengthening, Keyword Acquisition, Treasure Hunting, Exploration for Knowledge, and Team Leadership with Cooperative Combat."

"Choose, what kind of trial would you like to complete, and what goal do you want to achieve?"

"Which one doesn’t require me to fight others?" Shen Ye asked.

The half-statue replied,

"Basically, all of them involve combat—only for Team Cooperative Combat, if you absolutely want to avoid work, you can hand over all the fighting to your teammates."

"Can I choose not to select any?" Shen Ye asked.

If he could choose none, then he could just stay and cultivate in the hall without worrying about anything else.

The statue replied,

"No!"

"Entering here you must choose one, if not, a random selection will be made after five minutes."

Shen Ye resignedly said,

"Then, I choose Team Cooperative Combat."

Before he had finished speaking,

a burst of light emerged from the ground and enveloped him.

A wave of enlightenment immediately surged through his heart.

In the "Team Cooperative Combat" trial, he could initially summon a combat ally whose strength did not exceed Triple Dharma Realms.

The premise was that he could establish contact through a certain item and obtain the other party’s permission.

This was to prevent randomly transporting people in and disrupting the trial process.
