Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 681 - 376: The Intent of the Master of Penglai!_3

"How does that matter?" the elder intoned with patient instruction, "We have an old saying you must remember in your heart."

"Please enlighten me."

"A dragon carries the pearl, not sparing a glance for the goldfish—study only one technique of mythical level, and no amount of other skills can compare to a single one of mythical level!" the elder proclaimed.

Shen Ye found himself at a loss for words.

The elder went on to say,

"As for the method—"

"Cultivate the ’Supreme Forgetting Love Feathering Ascension Scripture’, in conjunction with the sect’s sacred relic, to meld your skills with your heart demon. It can transform into a skill of legendary level, granting you the supreme profession."

"This is the true successor of our Penglai!"

Shen Ye’s heart thumped hard.

Did the other party mean to combine it with the sect’s sacred relic?

Could it be—

Penglai Immortal Mountain was indeed the sect that possessed the ’Supreme Forgetting Love Feathering Ascension Scripture’ countless years ago?

Thinking this over,

the appearance of the heart demon battle at Penglai Immortal Mountain, rather than some other sect, also pointed towards this conclusion.

"What is the supreme profession?" Shen Ye asked.

A wistful light appeared in the elder’s eyes as he spoke softly,

"It’s those truly unique professions that can slay enemies across realms and truly roam freely among the myriad universes, fearing no catastrophe and achieving everlasting life!"

Shen Ye remained silent, his mind flashing through countless memories.

At this moment,

he suddenly recalled the first meeting with Xu Xingke at noon.

The two had a meal together.

Xu Xingke had also urged him to find a truly powerful profession.

And—

His own former profession: Non-Living Master.

With just the ’Existence in Mirror’ at the First Layer of the Law Domain, he held his ground against various enemies.

Yes,

the profession was the most important thing!

The alchemy furnace shook continuously, as though colliding with something, emitting a deafening buzzing noise.

Both of them tumbled around inside the furnace, trying to avoid each other.

When the shaking and collisions stopped, they had not touched once.

The elder continued,

"To break free from the ’heart demon battle’, you must defeat the other’s fate setting three times in a row, keeping the heart demon alive."

Shen Ye was briefly stunned, then it clicked.

Relying on "The Sect Leader Falls for Me," "I Have Been Reborn," and "He Despises Her," he had won three times in a row!

The heart demon was also alive.

"What then? What should I do next?" Shen Ye asked eagerly.

"Is there a big gap in your strength? I mean, in the realm of your cultivation of scriptures," the elder inquired.

"A great one," Shen Ye replied.

"That will be troublesome, as the difficulty of a fate setting battle under such circumstances is extremely high. When the enemy launches the fourth fate setting, you must insert your own fate setting!"

"Do you mean—"

"Interrupt! You can only change the passive situation by interrupting the opponent’s fate setting through seizing the initiative."

"Remember, the affair is fraught with danger, and you will probably only have one chance to turn the tables."

"Once this is achieved, the heart demon battle will collapse."

With the elder’s explanation, small twinkling letters appeared before Shen Ye:

"Based on the opponent’s hints, the following explanation is obtained."

"When the next fate setting is triggered, you may seize the right to speak and change the situation, causing the heart demon battle to collapse."

"You must pay attention to these three points:"

"1. Do not change the conditions of the three preliminary fate settings."

"2. There is no time for hesitation or thought; an immediate interruption is necessary."

"3. The fate setting phrase you can release cannot exceed two characters."

"—Only one chance to turn the tables!"

The twinkling letters vanished.

Shen Ye fell into deep thought.

The number of characters he was allowed to say was dwindling.

If he did not retaliate immediately, he would soon lose the chance to change the situation.

But how to do so?

As he pondered this, all outside noise gradually ceased.

That commanding voice then sounded again,

"In the midst of the calamity, the Master of Penglai Mountain watched as many disciples and elders died before her eyes."

"She recalled the two men she had hidden away."

"If a man lacks strength, how can he be called a man? And so, she ultimately forsook you, falling for the Elder of Fuyun Peak."

"To prove her love before the Elder of Fuyun Peak, she took advantage of the calm of the calamity to return and find the pill furnace, releasing you both."

Shen Ye listened, but found no opportunity to interject.

A rustle of techniques came from outside the furnace.

—It was the Mountain Master opening the furnace.

What next?

What would she do?

This is bad!

With only two words, and still no proper opportunity found.

If he could not insert himself into the other’s fate setting—

It was all over!

Just then, the commanding voice rose again, tinged with mockery:

"Regrettably, due to your influence, the Elder of Fuyun Peak no longer loved her, he even despised her greatly."

"To win back the heart of the Elder of Fuyun Peak, she struck you a cruel blow."

"Through this process, she finally realized that only with your death could she prove her love was only for the Mountain Master of Fuyun Mountain, and not you!"

The commanding voice became charged with murderous intent, as if pronouncing the fate of Shen Ye’s heart demon:

"—Which way shall I use to kill you?"

"No, let’s torture you first."

"Torturing you would make it clear to the Mountain Master of Fuyun Mountain her true feelings!"

"You, tortured and covered in ghastly wounds, needed only a mere strike and would be easily killed."

The voice narrated the process with coherence and allure, slightly slowing down as if the story had reached its endpoint—an endpoint filled with content deserving admiration and affection.

"The time has come."

"She summoned a variety of weapons from the void, pondering which one to use to kill you would be best."

"Looking at you, barely clinging to life on the ground, she finally made her decision and began—"
