Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 674 - 374: Three Men Walk! _2

"She devised a strategy to keep me amassing fame," the woman’s voice continued, "By gaining fame and establishing a presence outside, I’m adding to the Sect’s reputation, and by doing so, I’m also driving the Sect’s progress forward."

"— The Saintly Honor’s Heart Devil must not kill someone who’s ’driving the Sect’s progress forward’!"

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Shen Ye thought it over.

When he had met the Saintly Honor, he had presented the Ten Thousand Years Immortal Spirit Jade Marrow.

And that was a treasure capable of helping the entire Sect develop!

So, according to the rules of fate, the Divine Honored Heart Devil didn’t linger to ask further and simply left.

— He had inadvertently survived through "driving the Sect’s progress forward!"

If he had answered honestly at the time, he might already be dead.

A chill crept up his spine, and Shen Ye couldn’t help but touch his forehead.

His hand was covered in cold sweat.

"Since you are an Inner Demon... why would you go berserk?" Shen Ye asked.

"The Inner Demons produced by those who cultivate the Supreme Forgetting Love Feathering Ascension Scripture are actually identical to themselves—like your Inner Demon is another you," the woman’s voice said.

"The only difference is, you can orchestrate his fate, and his gains will become your Strength."

His gains...

Shen Ye hesitated.

His own Heart Demon had become a handsome thief.

What gains could he bring to himself?

But now that he thought about it, it seemed he truly did have gains.

Shen Ye reached out and from the void, he pulled out a sketchbook.

He flipped through it casually.

It was full of beauty sketches.

What the hell!

Other people’s Inner Demons are doing great things, helping their masters continuously increase their Strength, and you give me a sketchbook of beauties?

— And there’s not even an animated picture!

Thumbs down!

He discreetly put the sketchbook away and asked again,

"Why would you attack the divine statue? If you do that, Yun Ni hidden inside would be immediately exposed."

"She can’t beat the Divine Honored Heart Devil, and her only fate would be death."

This time, the woman’s voice carried a bit of emotion:

"I was just a puppet she pushed on stage, forced to keep up appearances every day to win fame; and then I also had to keep consuming humans to sustain her—"

"I want her dead!"

Shen Ye pondered over her words and could hear a measure of sorrow. He couldn’t help but sigh softly.

— This was an Inner Demon being squeezed so hard it rebelled against its fate.

Now.

How should he deal with all this?

"Forget it, the strife between you has nothing to do with me."

"I can spare your life. Once all your injuries are healed, go on and do what you must."

"And what about you?" the woman asked.

"I’ll return to the Sect," Shen Ye said.

— The ruins are still useful, they can help everyone become stronger.

So next, I’ll just stay put in the Sect.

After all, I have the financial backing of Tu Fusheng.

Might as well earn the title of "driving the Sect’s progress forward" for self-preservation.

As for the Sect’s Saintly Honor and Yun Ni’s matters, I’ll refrain from meddling.

As Shen Ye was thinking this, quite relieved, he heard the woman’s voice again:

"In fact, at the beginning, the goals of the Saintly Honor and Yun Ni were both centered around Charlotte, who had ascended from above."

Charlotte.

Shen Ye was momentarily stunned; his heart involuntarily tightened.

That’s right.

In the beginning, Yun Ni was hunting Charlotte.

"Why Charlotte?" Shen Ye asked.

"What I’m about to tell you is an extremely secret matter. If anyone learns of this, you would surely die," the woman’s voice said.

Shen Ye waved his hand.

A roaring surge of destructive darkness erupted all around.

It enveloped everything around them, completely sealing the area.

"Now you can speak," Shen Ye said.

The woman hesitated for a moment before she began:

"This is the deepest secret, known only to those who have successfully cultivated the Supreme Forgetting Love Feathering Ascension Scripture."

"— You’ll soon be able to grasp knowledge and Skills of various Professions through the Heart Demon, thus becoming immensely powerful."

"I? Grasp various Professions?"

Shen Ye’s tone was heavy, and he enunciated carefully, "I also have a Heart Demon, but I feel no connections to other Professions—"

"You really don’t have to lie like this."

"I’m not lying to you; in fact, every Professional has a Heart Demon," the woman’s voice sounded again, "It’s just that ordinary Professionals can never sense them, even mistaking them for ’myself.’"

"Heart Demons can be privy to the various Professions throughout the endless ages—unless that Profession has reached the realm of legend and myth."

Shen Ye subconsciously shook his head.

If the Supreme Forgetting Love Feathering Ascension Scripture could comprehend knowledge and Skills of all Professions, it would be an extremely powerful scripture.

— Why were there only three cultivators?

"Do you think I’m deceiving you because so few have cultivated this scripture?" the woman said.

"Yes," replied Shen Ye, unreservedly.

"When the scripture first fell from the highest cosmos to the Ninety-Nine Layer Universe, it indeed caused a sensation."

But the woman’s voice was measured as she continued,

"However, it’s too difficult; ordinary people can’t understand it at all."

"There are always exceptionally talented masters who should be able to understand the scripture," Shen Ye said.

"You’re correct, the top experts from other universes realized at once that it was a cultivation-oriented scripture."

"Out of caution, they first inquired with the Cultivators around them."

"The feedback they received was:"

"— The Inner Demons Tribulation is an extremely terrifying thing, one must face the Inner Demons Tribulation with every level ascended, and failing to pass means death."

"That dissuaded a large group of people."

"And what about the remaining ones?" Shen Ye asked.

"— Some with great Mana divined the fate of the scripture and learned a truth:"

"Just having the scripture is not enough to cultivate it to the end."

"One must possess the complete inheritance of the ruins to unleash the full power of the scripture."

Shen Ye suddenly recalled the ruins.

"Yes," the woman went on: "— When the ruins fell down, there were only two layers left!"
