Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"Just your—ah, never mind, you should change your profession. The sword techniques of the Great Tomb are no joke, far stronger than your crap!"

Shen Ye silently lowered his head, not saying a word.

Mo Ga Ru decisively said:

"That settles it—the Great Tomb might need to be explored, but it also requires the slow search for clues; it doesn't matter if it takes a day or two."

"Wait until you have gained in strength and are acknowledged as one of the 'Five Desires,' only then will it be suitable."

"—For now, just practice the sword techniques."

Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly:

"Thank you for your understanding, my lord!"

"Hmm, don't mention it, go on with your practice. I'll have a look around and see if I can find some new clues."

Having spoken, Mo Ga Ru rapidly flew to the other end of the corridor.

Very quickly.

He was out of sight.

Shen Ye was left behind to continue practicing his sword techniques.

What exactly was the state of Divine Spirits in Hell...

"Focus!"

The Human Figure barked.

Shen Ye had to gather his spirit and concentrate on practicing the basic sword techniques.

Finally—

Three thousand strikes were completed.

"Rest for half an hour, then proceed to practice the 'Thinking of You' Blade Technique!" said the Human Figure, then slowly sank into the ground and disappeared.

"So it's just continuous practice, right?" Shen Ye asked while panting.

"You'll practice until it feels that you are ready to challenge it and then it will initiate a life-and-death battle. You must defeat it," said the Female Art Spirit.

Shen Ye then fell silent.

He actually remembered something—

Back when he had taken the joint exam of three schools, he gained the status of a True Disciple of Chaotic Heaven Gate.

At that time.

The one that assessed him was also a metal human puppet.

On close examination, that metal human puppet bore almost no difference in form to the one that appeared in the Great Tomb just now.

—What was the connection between Chaotic Heaven Gate and the Great Tomb?

If there indeed was a connection, how come Chaotic Heaven Gate was no match for the king species?

Even the Ancient Tomb Guardian Gods couldn't defeat the king species.

By comparison—

Any random sword technique from the Great Tomb was either a Space-Time Blade Technique, a Summoning Blade Technique, a Full Moon Blade Method, or a Close-Combat Slaying Technique.

It was too strange.

...He would probably need to continue investigating the Great Tomb to possibly gain more valuable information.

He did nothing else but stood in the empty corridor, practicing his sword techniques with all his might.

"Add these 10 free points to Comprehension."

The Comprehension value jumped upward.

The other numerical values were still slowly increasing.

Part of this was because he had absorbed the power of Tian Luo and another part was from the rotation battles in the inn, where he had drawn upon the Origin Power of enemies with his sword.

Time slowly passed by.

Shen Ye gradually forgot about everything around him.

The sword.

The sword in his hands became more and more lively and agile.

Boom—

The ground rose again with a sword-wielding human figure.

Swinging its long sword, it began to speak:

"We will now start practicing the 'Thinking of You' Blade Technique. Follow my movements, come—"

Shen Ye then lifted his sword and followed by its side, cutting and slashing together with it.

The voice of the Human Figure continued to resonate:

"Good, keep going, and now let's make the movements a little slower."

"Hold it there!"

"Well done this time."

```

"Three thousand cuts, begin!"

The Great Tomb.

Shen Ye had completed three thousand cuts, sitting on the ground, gasping for air.

After this training session, he now had a quarter of an hour to rest.

"Step on the floor tile on your left, the second one in the fifth row," the Female Art Spirit instructed.

"Okay," Shen Ye got up and stepped on it.

A bottle emerged from the ground.

Upon opening the bottle, inside was a pill.

"Spirit Return Elixir."

"The pill is in normal condition."

"Restores sixty percent of physical strength, allowing for full recovery of attributes."

Shen Ye weighed the pill in his hand before putting it in his mouth, chewing a few times, and swallowing it.

"Such a good elixir, may I ask if there are more?" he asked while eating.

"Ordinary people don't get this treatment," said the Female Art Spirit, "I'm doing this because your time is tight and you have many things to handle. This way you can quickly restore your strength and master that blade technique as soon as possible, elevating it to the Law Realm Second Layer."

"Thank you very much!"

After consuming the pill, Shen Ye felt his spirit greatly invigorated, and his physical strength was restored.

He picked up the Hongying Knife and continued his training.

A shadowy figure swept in from the depths of the corridor.

Mo Ga Ru!

"My lord?"

Shen Ye, panting heavily, greeted.

"Still training, I see," Mo Ga Ru stopped in front of him, his eyes showing some appreciation.

The boy was quite diligent in his cultivation.

Seeing him, one can't help but be reminded of his own younger days.

"I have to train, my strength is too weak," Shen Ye said earnestly.

You need to be at the Sixth Layer of the Magic Realm to use the invitation.

And I'm just at the Triple Layers of the Law Realm.

It's embarrassing.

"Fine, keep up your training. When you have time, remember to go back to the 'Five Desires' World and look into your treatment," Mo Ga Ru said. "As a Prison Guard, you're actually entitled to many generous benefits."

"Thank you for your grace in promoting me, my lord," Shen Ye expressed his gratitude with a fist and palm salute.

—Mo Ga Ru must not know about the planet's approach?

The Five Desires World isn't that far from the Death Planet, just about the distance from the Moon to Earth.

Should I mention it?

Forget it.

I'm training with the blade, how could I possibly know about external affairs!

Just as he was thinking, suddenly the ground began to tremble.

The Human Figures fell to the ground, unable to stand up for quite a while.

Shen Ye and Mo Ga Ru managed to maintain their balance.

The shaking grew more violent.

The two, left with no choice, leapt up and crouched on the ceiling.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Finally, the shaking stopped.

"Something's not right," Mo Ga Ru's expression darkened, "It seems the whole world has undergone a severe disturbance."

"My lord, what exactly happened to this Death Planet?" Shen Ye feigned panic as he asked.

"You continue your training here. If there's danger, head back to the Five Desires World. I'll go and investigate," Mo Ga Ru ordered.

"Yes, my lord," Shen Ye responded.
