Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Wails of despair echoed from the tentacles as they spoke, "I won't dare do it again! Next time I'll definitely hold back!"

"You've ruined my grand plans... If it happens again, I'll eat you," Zhang Beichen said coldly.

"Yes, Master!" The tentacles hurriedly responded, then added in a flattering tone, "The Heaven Connecting Technique is really too complex, and since we're almost at the Haoyang Palace, why don't you, Master, first obtain the Heaven-Shaking Technique?"

"Indeed," Zhang Beichen nodded, "we must first secure the Heaven-Shaking Technique—but for now, let's split up and first find Ren Qingxiao."

He withdrew the tentacles, walked out of the room, and began searching for Ren Qingxiao's whereabouts.

On the other side.

Thousands of years later.

At the third level of the Penglai Trial Ruins.

Shen Ye appeared in a flash and landed on the ground.

"Phew, finally back alive..."

He flipped his hand and drew out two gemstones.

—The moment he returned to the future, the gemstone representing the identity of "Ren Qingxiao" became unusable.

As usual, he held a newly transformed magical gemstone.

Shen Ye looked at the two gemstones in his hand, falling into deep contemplation.

It seemed necessary to make another visit.

He must unravel the secrets of the "End Master of all Eras."

—Even the Master of Penglai did not "know what his intentions were," which subconsciously made him want to chase him away.

Shen Ye was about to crush the new gemstone when a sudden thought crossed his mind.

Wait.

He carried the memories of Ren Qingxiao.

Ren Qingxiao, responsible for managing visits and such, might have some evaluations and understanding of each disciple, right?

Shen Ye half-closed his eyes, accessing the memories of Ren Qingxiao.

Regarding Zhang Beichen...

Actually, there wasn't any significant impression.

He only knew that Zhang Beichen was a disciple of the Mysterious Gate, with his dwelling at the foot of Mysterious Gate Peak.

Shen Ye sighed.

This guy was deeply hidden, utterly inconspicuous.

As he thought this, he saw a rooster suddenly jump out and land on Shen Ye's shoulder.

—It was the Benevolent God!

"What smells so good on you?" the Benevolent God Rooster asked.

"Smells good?" Shen Ye's train of thought was disrupted, and he subconsciously looked at his fingers.

The Benevolent God Rooster had already jumped onto his arm, eyeing the ring with interest as it spoke,

"This is a rare item—our Phoenix Clan is best at using rare items. May I take a look?"

Shen Ye thought of the effects created by it carrying a carrot, resulting in the "Carrot Chicken," and couldn't help but be moved.

"There's no problem, you take it."

He immediately removed the "Frost Snow Petite Plum" from his finger and handed it over.

The Benevolent God Rooster, holding the stick in its beak, appeared excited, flapped its wings a few times, and transmitted in speech,

"This is a good item, I can use it to enhance charm."

"Charm?" Shen Ye repeated.

"Yes, it can display the beauty of our Phoenix Clan and release the dominant aura of our clan."

"Dominate aura... Did you use to mix on the sea?" Shen Ye asked.

"No, this is the innate strength of the Phoenix Clan, which can display beauty while releasing strong oppressive power," the Benevolent God Rooster explained.

"Dominance aura? I bet you can't."

Shen Ye said somewhat incredulously.

But in the next instant, rows of tiny glowing characters appeared above the head of the Benevolent God Rooster:

"Your rooster acquired a unique rarity: Frost Snow Petite Plum."

"Using this rarity, your rooster can transform."

"After transformation, the effect is:"

"Chicken You're So Beautiful."

"Description: Holding 'Chicken You're So Beautiful' intimidates enemies, who, through changes in your power fluctuation, recognize that your strength is not inferior to theirs."

"—Autumn has arrived, it's the mating season."

Amazing!

No wonder your Phoenix Clan is the king of all birds!

Shen Ye gave a thumbs up and praised:

"Truly a breathtaking beauty."

"Hmph, seeing that you are so eloquent, when dating powerful women in the future, buddy will transform, backing you up," the Benevolent God Rooster said.

"...There's really no need," Shen Ye laughed.

A thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

Thousands of years ago.

Zhang Beichen had followed Ren Qingxiao to the Haoyang Palace.

He was hastily summoned to the Demon Subduing and Evil Exterminating Hall, chosen on the spot, unable to refuse, and left with the team immediately.

His dwelling was still in Penglai.

Should he go to his dwelling now, thousands of years later, in this era?

That would mean another trip to the 99-layer cosmos.

Find a way to infiltrate the Supreme Tao Palace.

Shen Ye pondered back and forth for a few moments, then made a decision.

Let's go.

It couldn't hurt to take a look.

Perhaps he could find some clues!
