Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

However, my current location is the Penglai Ruins.

This is not a place to reveal oneself.

Forget it.

Pretend to be dead for now.

Reply later.

Shen Ye pretended not to see.

—After all, there is no "read" indicator within the Heart of the Swarm; the other party wouldn't know whether I've seen it or not.

He was about to continue practicing the Supreme Forgetting Love Feathering Ascension Scripture when three lines of small characters suddenly popped up:

"Thrice refining the Aurora for the first effort;"

"Thrice gathering the Formless Heavenly Demon for the second effort;"

"You need to strive (scroll) once more in another aspect—"

"The will of the Heaven Connecting Technique has taken notice of you; you must win its protective blessing!"

—This is a reminder brought by gate power!

The Heaven Connecting Technique requires me to scroll through once more!

Shen Ye opened his eyes, no longer interested in continuing the scripture.

The path of Connecting Heaven demands one to master the scripture thoroughly; anyone would give it their all to practice.

But—

I've tried several times to master it, and still haven't succeeded.

By all accounts, this is already a failure.

Unexpectedly, the more I practiced, the stronger I became, even attracting the attention of the will of the Heaven Connecting Technique.

If it's like this, then the will of the Heaven Connecting Technique is definitely more important.

To strive once more in another aspect...

How to do that?

Shen Ye thought hard for a long time but without any inspiration, he casually wiped the Ring, taking out newly demonized gemstones.

There's one thing that must be done right away.

—Go and inform the Master of Penglai about the leak in the Seal.

This would help her adjust the plan in time.

Shen Ye exerted strength in his hand.

Crack.

The demonized gemstone shattered.

In an instant.

He disappeared from the spot.

Tens of thousands of years prior.

Penglai Mountain.

On Tianmen Peak, within a cave dwelling.

Shen Ye opened his eyes.

A tide of unfamiliar memories flooded into his mind.

At the same time.

A peerlessly beautiful woman suddenly appeared opposite him.

—Master of Penglai!

"You've come a bit frequently," she said, eyeing Shen Ye, her expression gradually turning serious.

"It's mainly because I have something to tell you," Shen Ye said.

He directly spoke about the matter of the fifth layer of the Sacred Relic.

The Master of Penglai's expression did not change in the slightest.

"You already knew?" Shen Ye asked tentatively.

"That fissure can contain one-thousandth of its will and Strength—the warriors of the past centuries who went to the fifth layer all proved to be no match for even one-thousandth of its Strength."

The Master of Penglai said indifferently.

Shen Ye's heart chilled.

—The strong ones of the Immortal Country from this era already knew about this!

"Why not try the Three Techniques?" Shen Ye asked again.

"According to ancient records, the Three Techniques are actually the keys to opening the Seal, so they cannot be used—the Three Techniques can't be fully obtained anyway, at least the Heaven Connecting Technique has never been mastered by anyone," said the Master of Penglai.

Shen Ye silently sighed.

Heaven Connecting Technique—

You're not trying hard enough, how could you master the Heaven Connecting Technique?

You have to push yourself!

But how do I push?

"You've misunderstood the content of the ancient books."

Shen Ye took over the conversation and continued, "In fact, the Monster uses the Three Techniques from inside the Seal to unlock it—using the Three Techniques on it from outside won't cause a problem."

These were the original words of the Fourth Epoch Creator Charlocturic.

Wait a second.

Who is lying, the Creator, or the ancient books passed down by the Immortal Country?

"Could you let me have a look at your ancient records?"

Shen Ye asked.

The Master of Penglai took out a jade slip and placed it in front of Shen Ye.

Shen Ye subconsciously prepared to use the "Tool Person of Destiny" to try and interpret it.

Unexpectedly, just as he activated the entry, the void trembled violently.

An immense will descended upon him, spreading out into the void, and condensed into lines of small characters in mid-air:

"The will of the Heaven Connecting Technique has linked the Gate of Heaven and communicated the following to you:"

"Your Mythology entry will certainly discover that ancient records have been altered."

"People's reluctance to use the Three Techniques against what leaked from the Seal marks the beginning of the decline of the Immortal Country."

"Go."

"Race against time and compete with that Monster."

"Between you and it, who will take the lead and gain the true inheritance of the Heaven-Shaking Technique?"

"If you win against it—"

"The will of the Heaven Connecting Technique will fully bless you, aiding you in practicing the Heaven-reaching Sacred Method!"
