Chapter 1054: Chapter 486: Competing for Treasure!_3

He pushed open the door.

The Chihuahua withdrew its gaze and darted through the doorway.

On the other side of the door was a room made entirely of metal.

The Chihuahua leapt onto the table, stretched out its paw, clawed open the box, and peered inside.

“Brother Ye, there is indeed a gemstone in this box, but it’s embedded in a necklace engraved with runes.”

Shen Ye said, “Don’t bring it back for now–just pull it out of the box and let me have a look.”

“Alright!”

The Chihuahua grabbed the necklace in its mouth, dragged it out of the box, and turned toward the door.

Shen Ye stood outside the door, carefully examining the necklace.

Suddenly, faint glowing text appeared:

“Embedding Chain of the Eternal Relic Gem”

“Description: The gemstone has been tampered with and embedded in a chain that emits a unique tracking signal, allowing enemies to pierce through all obstacles and sense its location at any time.”

Shen Ye fell into contemplation.

If this fell into his hands, wouldn’t he become the tracked target?

After all, this kind of tracking could penetrate any barrier.

Then…

Shen Ye pressed a hand against the door and said,

“Chihua–no, Yun Ye, you bring the necklace out with you.”

“Okay.”

The Chihuahua, gripping the necklace in its mouth, jumped off the table and darted through the door.

The surroundings flashed.

The Chihuahua froze.

It realized it was back at Breath Soil High School, standing atop the desk in Shen Ye and Nangong Sirui’s dormitory.

Going through the door had brought it back!

Immediately after that–

A dark green Bone Blade emerged from the doorway.

The Bone Blade hovered in midair, lightly tapping the necklace, emitting a buzzing sound:

“You go find Shen Ye first. This necklace is interesting–I’ll slowly pry the gemstone off.”

The Chihuahua nodded, placed the necklace on the table, and ran toward the door again.

Halfway there, it stopped abruptly and asked,

“Who are you, classmate?”

“Classmate?” the Bone Blade exclaimed.

“Yes, Nangong Sirui can transform into a Yaksha, I can turn into a canine, and you can become a weapon–we all have bright futures. We should be friends and look out for each other,” the Chihuahua said seriously.

“My name is… Fei Lun.”

“Fei Lun? Never heard of you–are you a transfer student?”

“Hey, little guy, are you afraid of ghosts?” the Bone Blade asked.

“Not at all,” the Chihuahua said proudly.

“What if, on a pitch-black night, zombies and skeletons suddenly appeared before you? What would you do?” the Bone Blade queried further.

“Can I outrun them? They shouldn’t be very fast, right? Worst case, if I get caught, I’ll poop on the spot when I turn into a dog–they probably wouldn’t eat me,” the Chihuahua cautiously and rapidly replied.

“…Enough. Let’s chat next time. Go find Shen Ye first,” the Bone Blade gave up on the conversation.

The Chihuahua looked bemused, turned, and entered the door.

On this side of the door, it was still the room where Shen Ye was. As soon as the Chihuahua entered, Shen Ye dispelled the door.

Yes.

The enemy could detect the chain.

But now, with a barrier in place, the chain was on the other side of the dimensional multiverse.

Can they still track it?

Even if they can, they can’t cross over.

After all, with himself as the Gatekeeper here, the door between the two realms was now shut.

Unless he allowed it, no one could pass!

This was the very essence of his role as Gatekeeper!

Let the Big Skeleton slowly disassemble that chain.

“Alright, now that the artifact has been sent away, the base’s crisis should be resolved,” Shen Ye said.

“That easy?” The Chihuahua couldn’t believe it.

But at that moment, an invisible force from the void suddenly surged toward the two of them.

Glowing text swiftly appeared in midair:

“You’ve completed the emergency mission: Safeguard the Space Base!”

“The enemy has been completely eradicated.”

“The enemy’s mission target is lost, and their subsequent forces can no longer locate the Eternal Brain’s relic gemstone.”

“Mission complete.”

“You have received a one-time Eternal Infusion.”

The Chihuahua lay sprawled on the table, its eyes wide with incredulity as it exclaimed,

“Brother Ye, what’s going on?! My strength is continuously increasing!”

“Shh–” Shen Ye hushed, lowering his voice.

He parted the curtain slightly and peeked outside.

He saw the officers and soldiers standing guard outside, none of whom had received the Eternal Infusion.

This mission.

Had been completed by him and the Chihuahua!

The Chihuahua naturally deserved an Eternal Infusion.

So did he.

Shen Ye closed his eyes, quietly savoring the increase in his power.

“Congratulations.”

“You have advanced to the twentieth layer of the Dharma Realm.”

“You’ve met the minimum level requirement.”

“You can now officially use the Heaven-Shaking Technique.”

“Since your Dharma Aspect is still evolving, you must wait until its evolution is complete. At that time, Technique Spirit Lancy will descend.”

Shen Ye felt a surge of excitement.

Lancy was coming!

With the Technique Spirit’s blessing, the Heaven-Shaking Technique would grow even stronger!

His strength was steadily climbing.

–He should strive for everything left behind by the Eternal Brain with all his might!

This was a golden opportunity to rapidly enhance his strength!

The final glowing text appeared:

“You’ve completed two tasks. Complete one more task, and your status as ‘Jieyin Taoist’ will advance by one level.”

The small text flickered and vanished.

Knock, knock, knock–

A knock sounded at the door.

“Who is it?” Shen Ye asked.

“It’s me,” Xiao Yurong’s voice came from outside.

Shen Ye picked up the Chihuahua, tiptoed back to the bed, made some noise, and then slowly got up.

The Chihuahua also let out a few low whines.

Shen Ye put on his shoes, stomped his feet, and walked to the door with heavy steps.

He opened the door.

“Sorry to disturb your rest,” Xiao Yurong said apologetically, her face full of regret.

Across from her.

A groggy man and dog appeared half awake.

“No problem,” Shen Ye yawned, “It’s so late–what’s the matter?”
