Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 668 - 372: Shen Ye, Sect Leader, Heart Demon!_2

Not right.

I came for inspection.

How did it suddenly turn into bribery and accepting bribes?

The two Supreme Elders saw the Sect Leader’s unpleasant face and immediately tensed up.

"What’s the matter? Does this kid have a problem?" one asked.

"It shouldn’t be him," the Sect Leader said.

"On what grounds?" another asked.

"... Just look at the family tradition," the Sect Leader said with a strange expression, "I came for an inspection, and this kid actually tried to bribe me."

"He really underestimates our Supreme Tao Palace," a Supreme Elder scoffed.

"An ignorant fool," another Supreme Elder said with rising murderous intent.

"It was a few pieces of Ten Thousand Years Immortal Spirit Jade Marrow," the Sect Leader explained.

"Utter sincerity! Pure sincerity indeed!" both Supreme Elders praised wholeheartedly.

"Let’s do this, I’ll take him as a direct disciple later, have him by my side every day, and if there’s no issue, let’s leave it at that, but if there’s a problem, we’ll take him down directly," the Sect Leader said.

"The Sect Leader is wise."

The two Supreme Elders echoed in unison.

Suddenly, a figure sped through the sky, arriving and landing in front of the three.

It was a Female Taoist Apprentice.

Upon seeing the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elders, the Female Taoist Apprentice was startled and quickly bowed in salute:

"Greetings to the Sect Leader! Greetings to the Supreme Elders!"

"It’s Pei Pei, I’m asking you, was the Array Plate in the cave dwelling activated by you?" a Supreme Elder asked.

"It was activated by me," Pei Pei said with a pale face and trembling voice.

The three exchanged glances.

"Tell Nangong Wantu to submit the Array Plate to the Sect tomorrow," the Supreme Elder said.

"Tell him that the Array is harmful to the Spirit Soul and must not be constructed again in the future, do you understand?" another Supreme Elder said.

"Yes!" Pei Pei quickly replied.

A few minutes later.

Inside the cave dwelling.

The glow from the Array Plate had completely retracted.

The Array stopped.

Shen Ye scanned the surroundings, only to see those faint, illusory flames once again densely filling the space.

Wailing souls wandered about like zombies.

—Of course, all this was clearly visible only because of the Demon-Subduing Pestle he carried.

Pei Pei was completely unaware.

"I’ve bought a lot of things, would you like to take a look?" Pei Pei asked.

"No need," Shen Ye was still contemplating his strategy.

"Sect Leader," Pei Pei transmitted, "I was scared to death just now."

"Mhm."

"Sect Leader, let’s run. If we don’t, we will end up dying here sooner or later."

"There’s no solution for now, don’t worry, we won’t have any problems," Shen Ye reassured.

—The young girl was inherently apprehensive, being suddenly confronted by the Sect Leader and two Supreme Elders had scared her nearly out of her wits.

It was understandable.

"Sect Leader, it seems turning into a man isn’t enough, they are still wary of you—you must change your personality again—like last time!" Pei Pei suddenly said.

"Mm, hm?"

Shen Ye looked at Pei Pei.

Last time?

Right... Pei Pei knew some things.

It was about Yun Ni.

Shen Ye smiled and transmitted softly:

"Pei Pei, it’s been a long time since I approached a problem from someone else’s perspective. Tell me the past events, let me see if there’s anything I’ve done wrong."

"It’s not much," Pei Pei transmitted, "You were an exceptionally intelligent person, wholly devoted to studying the Taoist scriptures, not keen on socializing. Later, you said that the Sect Leader’s Dharma Aspect consumes people, and you had to change your temperament. Then you became more and more image-conscious, traveling across multiple universes, and your fame gradually spread far and wide."

"Then they spread the news that you had gone mad with your practice and died."

Shen Ye listened carefully, thought for a while, then asked:

"When I became more and more image-conscious, do you think what I did was problematic?"

"There was no problem, in fact, it garnered a lot of people’s attention, and that’s why we were able to survive following you. But—"

Seeing him so earnest, Pei Pei voiced her inner thoughts:

"Your transformation was too abrupt, at first we all couldn’t get used to it. If you’re going to make any adjustments next, please pay attention to this."

"How was I abrupt?" Shen Ye inquired.

Seeing his usual composure, not appearing to be interrogating, Pei Pei grew bolder and transmitted:

"That day, I assisted you with Artifact Refining, and after we completed the Demon-Subduing Pestle, you went out that evening. The next day you came back and immediately started to groom yourself, becoming resplendently beautiful—wasn’t that change a bit too sudden?"

Shen Ye said, "That indeed seems strange, I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Mhm, actually, you’ve already done very well. Sect Leader, what do we do next?" Pei Pei asked.

"You go rest first, it’s late, we’ll talk tomorrow," Shen Ye transmitted.

Pei Pei, as if making a decision, gritted her teeth and continued to transmit:

"With the Sect Leader initiating the Demon-slaying Grand Formation, he must have exhausted a lot of strength. If he doesn’t consume people, he himself will run into trouble."

"Sect Leader, you need to think of something quickly."

"Don’t worry, I have my ways, rest easy," Shen Ye comforted her warmly.

Pei Pei crossed the courtyard and went to rest in the bedroom on the other side of the cave dwelling.

Only Shen Ye was left sitting there.

He picked up the Sect Leader’s jade slip, a sweep of his spiritual power, and he immediately knew its contents.

That was all there was to it.

Not even as detailed as what the "Combat Guidance Master" from the Tarot Cards said.

But there was one thing worth noting.

The jade slip said that to truly progress in this cultivation technique, you have to face Tribulations with each advancement.

Tribulations—

In this fast-paced era, to increase efficiency in cultivation, many cultivation techniques have been modified and evolved so that Tribulations are no longer necessary.

But this particular technique still required facing Tribulations.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

—And it was the Soul-related Inner Demons Tribulation!

No wonder there were so few people practicing this cultivation technique.

Even those with extraordinary talents took one look at the difficult Tribulation to be faced and ran away.

With so many excellent cultivation techniques in the world, why bother with this unfortunate one?

In fact.

If it weren’t for the fact that this Cultivation Technique was related to the relic.
