Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 980 - 463: Breaking Off the Engagement!_3

"Son, you really hit the jackpot this time. This is one of the Luo family’s most prestigious cultivation techniques. For them to use it as compensation for breaking off the engagement with Xiao Mengyu, they must have spent a fortune." Shen Shi’an said.

"Don’t we have a saber technique like this in our family?" Shen Ye asked.

"Nope—we’re not on their level. We only have one top-tier movement technique, which I’ll teach you a bit later." Shen Shi’an replied.

"Then, Father, will you learn this saber technique?"

"You must be joking. The stele it’s recorded on probably has a restriction, allowing only you to learn it. Besides, I’m not a saber user."

"Alright, then I’ll learn it myself."

"Hmm. Since that young lady has gone to such lengths on your behalf, I don’t think this broken engagement is such a big deal anymore. But you’d better treat her well in the future," Shen Shi’an said with a meaningful tone.

—Turns out it wasn’t some serious matter after all; just a young girl casting flirtatious glances my way.

Young people these days sure know how to play the game.

A top-tier clan cultivation technique, given away in such an unusual way.

As an old man, I can’t keep up with the times anymore.

Shen Shi’an shook his head, stood up, tidied himself briefly, and prepared to head to work.

Mother Shen also came hurrying over with a handbag, tagging along with Shen Shi’an as they left the house.

Having figured out the situation, she flicked Shen Ye lightly on the forehead and said,

"Focus on practicing that saber technique this morning. I’ll come back at noon to cook."

"—We’ll talk about that early romance of yours later."

Bang.

The door closed.

The house was left with only Shen Ye.

Shen Ye rubbed the spot on his forehead where he’d just been flicked, his expression somewhat displeased.

These parents of his—seeing that their son hadn’t been taken advantage of and had even gained a top-tier saber technique—they simply stopped caring.

Not a word of comfort, either.

Shen Ye left the living room without a word, walked through the long corridor past a pavilion, and arrived at the backyard garden.

—To be honest, this civilization does have one advantage.

The houses here are built large and comfortable, complete with big courtyards and gardens.

Shen Ye stood in the garden, silently attuning himself to the stele inside his storage ring.

As he attached his spiritual power to the stele, a flow of information surged into his mind, transforming into vivid images of saber technique practice.

Drawing the Night Rain Blade, Shen Ye followed those images, slowly practicing the new saber technique.

Two lines of glowing small characters swiftly appeared: frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Your total attributes have reached 430 points."

"Fully comprehending this saber technique requires 900 points of comprehension."

Tsk.

It’s been ages since I last touched my free attribute points.

With a single thought, Shen Ye made his move.

The glowing characters shifted immediately:

"You’ve allocated 430 free attribute points to Comprehension."

"Your current Comprehension has reached 860 points."

"You still require time, reflection, and practice to gradually reduce the comprehension needed until full mastery is achieved."

Still not enough!

Closing his eyes slightly, Shen Ye slowly activated the bloodline within himself.

The glowing characters continued to update:

"You’ve activated the Emperor Bloodline."

"All attributes +200."

"Congratulations, you are now able to fully comprehend the saber technique: Long Regret."

Emperor Bloodline—

Only now, as he absorbed the memory from the Soul Summoning Pill, did Shen Ye finally understand what the Emperor Bloodline truly was.

The multiverse was the ultimate creation suited for human habitation.

Originally, there weren’t supposed to be any cosmic monsters.

But a hidden civilization—

Fleeing from relentless pursuit, they lured in countless monsters from other ultimate creations.

Among them were the various monsters of the Cosmic Council.

When this civilization erased its traces using secret techniques and fell into slumber, those monsters also lost their way back to their original ultimate creations.

And so, they remained in this universe!

Shen Ye lightly tapped his temple, bringing his wandering thoughts back, and began seriously comprehending the saber technique.

At this moment, his Comprehension was at a staggering 1060 points!

Such an absurd level of Comprehension made his mind extraordinarily clear and calm, with his thought processes accelerated beyond imagination.

The content of the saber technique inscribed on the stele was something Shen Ye could grasp in full with just a glance.

Even so, it took him a full thirty minutes to completely internalize the technique.

"Not bad at all. This saber technique truly exceeded my expectations."

Shen Ye muttered to himself softly.

A line of glowing text annotated the entire process:

"You’ve begun fully comprehending the current saber technique:"

"Long Regret."

"A combat-growth saber technique, an inheritance saber technique, and an infinite-path saber technique."

Shen Ye pondered for a moment.

Since this saber technique could grow continuously, even advancing toward the Truth Level, it indeed suited being his main combat technique.

However.

Considering the Luo family behind Xiao Mengyu, there were probably others who practiced this saber technique within their ranks.

If he ever had to face them in battle—

He couldn’t afford to let them see through him because of this saber technique alone.

Fine.

In that case, I’ll use this saber technique as a foundation and make it even stronger.

Drawing the Night Rain Blade, Shen Ye held it steady with one hand in front of him and silently employed another saber method.

In an instant.

The Dharma Aspect of Abyss Hell appeared behind him.

—Saber Technique: Abyss!

Lines of glowing characters emerged:

"You’ve activated ’Blood-sucking Old Man’, absorbing all the elements of the saber technique ’Abyss’."

"You’ve infused all of these elements into the new saber technique ’Long Regret’."

"This absorption has resulted in a Super Evolutionary Effect."

"Long Regret Saber Technique is advancing toward the Primordial Level."

"Due to the grand and intricate nature of this saber technique, it will take at least three hours to fully evolve."

Perfect!

Shen Ye happily sheathed his blade.

This was a new "Long Regret", created by using the original as a blueprint and merging new elements.

Anyone who saw it would assume it was just the original Long Regret Saber Technique, completely unaware of the enhancements that made it stronger and more unpredictable!

—But it’ll still take diligent practice.

Shen Ye was just about to perform the saber technique to familiarize himself further when he suddenly paused.

He remembered.

He still had plenty of important tasks to handle.

For instance, now that he was at the Law Realm’s 15th Layer, the cultivation of "Quick Cultivation Guide" had granted him a Special Blessing.

It was an opportunity to advance his class—the Mountain God.

Not to mention, he needed to check the progress of his Real-time Strategy Base’s evolution.

As Shen Ye hesitated over which task to prioritize, he abruptly sensed something.

He stepped back a few paces, then looked up.

—The sound of rustling came from atop the walls.

Soon after.

Two men in combat uniforms vaulted over the wall, landing right in front of Shen Ye.

"Gentlemen, why not use the front door? What brings you here scaling walls?"

Shen Ye asked calmly.

The two men stared at him.

"Law Realm 15th Layer?" one of them remarked.

"Yes. Kill him quickly and split up afterward," the other replied.

They simultaneously drew the longswords at their sides.

"When someone asks you a question, it’s quite rude to ignore them and chat among yourselves, don’t you think?" Shen Ye chided.

Both men rushed forward, stopping only a step away from Shen Ye, but they suddenly froze in place.

Though the swords remained in their hands—

They were unable to thrust them forward.

"Blast Drummer effect activated!"

"Because you possess multiple Truth-Level entries and techniques while your enemies lack any Truth-Level power, this suppression has forced them into an extended paralysis state!"

Shen Ye chuckled, looking at the immobilized pair.

"Such generous guys. Did you know my family’s already spent quite a bit on me lately? And now you’ve come bringing swords as gifts?"

The two men couldn’t respond, standing motionless with their swords raised.

At a glance, they really did appear to be offering their swords willingly.

Shen Ye sighed, muttering,

"I’m easily moved to tears. Don’t make me weep, damn it."

He took the swords from their hands and proceeded to search them.
