Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

A male Cultivator stepped forward, blocking Dantai Mingyue, and shouted,

"Enough!"

"Nangong Wantu, never contact us again, you're not worthy!"

"Right," another female Cultivator also began to yell, "you contemptible and shameless man, without talent or virtue, you do not deserve our Senior Sister Dantai!"

After saying this, everyone glared at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye scratched his head.

—Should I speak now?

He glanced at Saintly Honor.

Saintly Honor seemed to remember something and transmitted a message, "Sorry, it seems my Heart Demon accidentally blew up your Pill Furnace."

"No problem, I'll just say a few words to send them on their way," Shen Ye also transmitted back.

What to say?

Actually, he did not know these people well, just dismiss them casually.

"Ahem—so what, you dare to look down on me."

Shen Ye raised his voice and recited a line from his memory,

"Thirty years in the south of the river, thirty years in the north, let us wait and see!"

The opposing Cultivators spoke in unison,

"Let's wait and see then!"

They surrounded Dantai Mingyue as they left, and soon they were out of sight.

Saintly Honor looked at Shen Ye's demeanor, noting that although his voice was loud, there was no excess emotion on his face.

The fluctuation of his Strength was also extremely calm.

This Nangong Wantu is so indifferent—

Indeed.

—As a king species, extremely powerful in the cosmos, even disguising as a human, it's difficult for him to show human emotions, let alone interact normally with humans.

He had deeply felt this himself!

That's why he declared he wanted to find a partner in a human Sect.

It was all for experiencing the feeling of being human!

He had also taken the identity of a Sect leader to understand the strengths and weaknesses of humans, seeking the path to mastering the Three Arts of the Immortal Country.

—In fact, Nangong Wantu and he were the same!

A similar journey through different paths.

Only he sought gate power, while he sought the Three Arts of the Immortal Country!

Saintly Honor pondered,

"I seem to recall that the human saying goes, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west'."

"But south is down, north is up, this signifies that as time changes, I will eventually be above them—this is more intuitive than the human saying of east and west of the river, and better represents my meaning," Shen Ye said proudly.

Saintly Honor opened his mouth, at a loss for words to refute.

Damn.

That made sense.

Indeed, a Heart of the Swarm.

But—

"East, south, west, north... they are indeed just directions... but using the wrong proverb, humans will laugh at you," said Saintly Honor, his expression suddenly shifting.

As expected.

Those human Cultivators had already burst into laughter outside.

That was the consequence of using a proverb incorrectly.

Initially.

When he first became human, he too made many such mistakes.

Saintly Honor sighed.

Upon reflection—

His Heart Demon was a flawed paranoid, repeatedly troubling this king species.

Isn't that an illness?

But after all, it was he who summoned the Heart Demon.

That was his mistake.

"Nangong Wantu."

Saintly Honor began.

"Please speak, Saintly Honor," Shen Ye said.

"My Heart Demon once took out a drop of king species' True Blood, but it was never given to you."

"—Now take it."

Saintly Honor gestured, and a drop of fresh blood quietly emerged.

This drop of blood emanated layers of scarlet light, illuminating the entire courtyard.

Good stuff!

Especially for a king species, it was an excellent treasure capable of activating the bloodline and enhancing Strength!

"How can I accept this without having done anything for it, Saintly Honor, this is really too embarrassing."

Shen Ye quickly said.

"No problem," Saintly Honor said nonchalantly, "you've brought this Sect so many treasures and resources, am I supposed to be stingy? Just take it."

"Then, thank you, Saintly Honor."

Shen Ye caught the drop of blood.

Saintly Honor watched him handle the situation with straightforwardness and assurance, secretly nodding in approval.

They were all beings from the Higher Cosmos.

There was no need for all the fuss and complaints.

"Alright, you go on and study the human Schools of Method. I'm too busy to even stand straight, we'll talk later."

"Take care, Saintly Honor."

"Right, if there's anything, come directly to me."

"Yes."

Saintly Honor's Physique flashed and then disappeared.

Only Shen Ye remained standing in place.

For a long while.

He let out a gentle breath.

—That was too close.

Fortunately, in a past era, he had the thought to seek the "Supreme Blood Demon Void Sanctification Method" to purify his bloodline.

And fortunately, he immediately began practicing this Cultivation Technique, thus purifying his bloodline and resonating with the consciousness aggregate of the king species in the Dharma Realm.

Even more fortunate was—

With his Peak talents and Skills, he seamlessly joined the Heart of the Swarm!

Each one was a talent, eloquent and highly skilled!

Becoming a member of the Heart of the Swarm—

That was the real reason Saintly Honor was gracious to him!

Shen Ye patted the Array Plate.

Series of concealment, alert, and defense Arrays activated.

Now.

Time to refine the drop of True Blood given by Saintly Honor.

But for safety's sake—

Shen Ye held the suspended drop of True Blood in his hand and silently activated the skill "Tool of Fate."

Lines of tiny glowing text appeared in the void.
