Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 680 - 376: The Intent of the Master of Penglai!_2

"...You are the Heart Demon, aren’t you?" he angrily glared at Shen Ye.

"This is a trap that’s been set up deliberately, don’t fall for it," Shen Ye said.

"Trap?"

"Think about it, once you make your move, fate is suddenly reset to ’he woke up and broke free from the Mountain Master’s shackles,’ what would be your fate then?"

"Hiss—"

The Heart Demon involuntarily took a sharp breath and silently sheathed his knife.

The next second.

That majestic voice echoed once again:

"The great calamity of heaven and earth is approaching."

"Although the Pill Furnace is stable, it still tumbles in the calamity."

"The Elder of Fuyun Mountain crashed into the inner wall of the Pill Furnace by mistake, inadvertently freeing the Master of Penglai, restoring his freedom."

Thunderous rumblings suddenly erupted outside the Pill Furnace.

The great calamity of heaven and earth had begun!

The furnace was struck by an immense force, tumbling through the air, and after a few breaths, it crashed into the solid mountainside, making a deafening sound.

The two inside the furnace were thrown around haphazardly.

The Elder of Fuyun Mountain, after a few bumps, slowly opened his eyes.

"It’s over, he’s awake, what should we do?"

The Heart Demon asked in despair.

Shen Ye, however, was looking at the small characters floating in mid-air:

"Fate’s settings have been added to again, becoming increasingly far-fetched, thus you also have a chance to add to the settings."

"Do not change the other party’s fate settings!"

"Not more than three characters!"

"You have five seconds to complete the setting, no waiting if you’re late!"

Three characters!

—It’s getting stricter.

How exactly can he avoid a fatal outcome for the Heart Demon?

There was no time to think, Shen Ye shouted at the top of his lungs, three words:

"He—despises—her—"

Time’s up!

The Elder of Fuyun Mountain was a man with a long beard, a face like a bewitching fox, and eyes full of spirit, exuding the charm of a mature man.

Having regained his freedom, he moved his body slightly, then backed away before focusing his stare on Shen Ye’s Heart Demon.

"I was unconscious just now," he said.

"Yes," the Heart Demon replied.

"Did you not kill me?" he asked.

The Heart Demon recalled the recent events, his lips twitching slightly.

—Thank goodness I didn’t act.

At that moment, Shen Ye spoke up:

"You and I have no grievances."

The Heart Demon repeated the line.

"But earlier, in front of her, you said I hurt you," the Elder scoffed.

"That was for self-protection—ask yourself, if I had been fixed by the Mountain Master and then thrown into the Pill Furnace, how would you have treated me?" Shen Ye said.

In fact, in the original history, he had already acted.

If Shen Ye hadn’t added the "rebirth" setting, the Heart Demon would have already vanished.

The Heart Demon repeated it again.

The Elder listened, pondered, and fell silent for a while.

If it really had been that situation...

He would certainly have acted.

So, was the other party really acting out of self-protection?

The image of that woman appeared in his mind, inexplicably, a surge of hatred welled up in the elder’s heart.

For such a woman, I even harbored thoughts of killing my fellow disciple!

...My Taoist heart was twisted.

Yet she still openly put me and him together.

Whom is this humiliating?

Perhaps she thinks we’re just her male pets?

Hatred surged in the Elder’s heart.

"Elder, after the great calamity, what do you plan to do?" The Heart Demon followed Shen Ye in asking.

"You, a disciple who’s just joined, dare to meddle in my affairs?"

"Boys helping boys."

"Hmph, what about you? What are your plans?"

"I plan to leave the Sect."

"Why?" the Elder asked, surprised.

"The Mountain Master clearly likes you, yet also says she likes me, even locking us together—"

"What are we, really? Are we just her male pets?"

"Elder, I feel her heart isn’t sincere, she’s playing with our emotions."

"If I’m still alive after the great calamity, I will leave the Sect."

After this conversation.

The Elder nodded repeatedly, even feeling somewhat elated inside.

This junior has guts.

Earlier he had the opportunity, yet he didn’t think of killing me, this point alone makes him much better than myself.

And he figured it out right away.

Our emotions were being toyed with.

When the time comes, he’ll leave, and I’ll leave too!

—I can’t wait to see that woman’s face.

The Elder looked up and down at Shen Ye’s Heart Demon and said:

"While we’re still relatively safe, if you have any doubts about cultivation, you can bring them up, I’ll give you some guidance."

"Really?" The Heart Demon could hardly believe it.

"Just like you said, male cultivators helping male cultivators," the Elder stated firmly.

—The stronger he becomes, the more famous he is, the more she will regret!

The Heart Demon glanced subtly at Shen Ye.

What now?

Shen Ye was unexpectedly reaping rewards, scratching his head in amusement.

This elder must be a being from the ancient Upper Universe.

At this moment, he was being projected by the Heart Demon’s Technique, he might be able to answer some questions, but there was nothing Shen Ye wanted to ask.

Knowledge from the scriptures, just ask the Combat Guidance Master.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

That’s right—

Taoist scriptures.

Taoist scriptures!!!

"I indeed have a question, I wonder if you could resolve my doubt," Shen Ye said.

"Speak," the Elder replied indifferently.

Following Shen Ye, the Heart Demon also posed the question:

"I study the ’Supreme Forgetting Love Feathering Ascension Scripture,’ and having mastered all the Seventh Layer Techniques of the Dharma Realm through the Heart Demon, I can even integrate them seamlessly, but I am still caught in the ’Heart Demon Spell Combat,’ unable to free myself—"

"I dare to ask, Elder, do you have any method?"

The Elder chuckled upon hearing this and shook his head: "You learn a bunch of garbage Techniques, even if you can integrate them, what use are they?"

Shen Ye was taken aback, retorting reluctantly:

"But I have integrated them, creating a uniquely unparalleled Technique."
