Chapter 870: Chapter 429: The Broken Crown of Truth!_4

This is doable!

Shen Ye immediately accepted the task and then marked it as complete.

A void opened.

A floating Three-Eyed Tentacle Monster silently appeared.

“Do you have any information? Little one of the king species.”

It asked.

“The Human Race rebels are allying with the Death Planet to attack one of our Lords of Secrets,” Shen Ye said.

“Who are they planning to attack?”

“Tao Palace Venerable Sage.”

Upon hearing this name, the three eyes of the Three-Eyed Tentacle Monster all showed a significant implication.

“Don’t you have a grudge against them?” it asked.

“Personal grudges can’t outweigh the interests of the entire council!” Shen Ye declared righteously.

Without waiting for a response, he reiterated the detailed situation of the rebels.

“This is a big deal; they must have learned something. I will immediately verify this information,” the Three-Eyed Tentacle Monster said.

It swiftly disappeared.

Dozens of breaths later.

Shen Ye suddenly found an additional 110 points of merit in his account.

Following that was a task evaluation statement:

“Despite having issues with the Tao Palace Venerable Sage, you dared to step forward and provide information when you discovered he was in danger.”

“You deserve more rewards.”

“Merit points additionally increased by 10 points!”

Not bad!

Then, continue completing tasks.

Shen Ye once again took up the task and immediately marked it as complete.

The void opened.

The Three-Eyed Tentacle Monster reappeared in mid-air.

“Any more information?”

It asked seriously.

“It has been confirmed that the Venerable Sage possesses the Ultimate Power of the Second Era: Heaven-Shaking Technique,” Shen Ye said.

“What!” The Three-Eyed Tentacle Monster gasped in shock.

“Yes, I once saw him use this technique on the mountain–you just need to send someone who uses the Technique to distinguish between truth and lies to ask, and you’ll know the answer,” Shen Ye said.

“A big event! A big event!”

The Three-Eyed Tentacle Monster hastened away.

Shen Ye, however, remained indifferent, sitting cross-legged on the spot, resting and quietly waiting for the merit to be credited.

After engaging in a millennium battle with “End Master of All Eras” —

He understood one thing.

Three Techniques have their own Technique Spirits.

If the Technique Spirit is unwilling, the Technique you learn is just their tool to play with you.

Only if you reach the highest Resonance with the Technique Spirit and it acknowledges you, will it impart the true essence of the Technique.

He had been repeatedly troubled by the Venerable Sage in the Supreme Tao Palace, and even faced attempts to sign a master-servant contract.

Now the tables have turned.

The time for revenge has arrived.

–Some grievances can be avenged without direct confrontation.

This matter is quite significant.

The Cosmic Council would probably convene strong figures to head to the 99th Layer of the Supreme Tao Palace.

With Shen Ye having nothing better to do, he diverted his attention to real estate.

He saw another self sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor of the house, silently comprehending the skills and secrets of the Heaven-Shaking Technique.

Sitting through the night can be tiring; time to take a walk.

Isn’t there the Truth Mine?

As Shen Ye willed it, his astral body stopped practicing, grabbed the Mining Hoe leaning against the wall, pushed open the door, and entered the dark mine.

A line of tiny glowing text appeared:

“You have picked up the Mining Hoe and entered the Truth Mine.”

“Mining;”

“Mining;”

“Mining;”

“You’ve unearthed a creature that looks like a woman!”

“Given your prior encounters, you immediately turn around and flee!”

“You run very fast!”

“Before the creature catches you, you have already returned to your real estate and locked the door tightly.”

“You are safe!”

Shen Ye found this quite peculiar.

Why does the Truth Mine always produce monsters?

And it’s always the same kind of monsters!

… Wait a minute.

Could this be part of a fixed plot?

If this monster must be dealt with…

Shen Ye mulled over it.

His astral body immediately understood his thoughts.

It ripped off its sleeve, covered its eyes, and tied them tightly.

Once the noises outside gradually faded, the astral body suddenly rushed out of the house.

A line of tiny glowing text immediately reappeared:

“You’re running wildly in the Truth Mine!”

“The creature has found you again and is chasing after you.”

“It chases! You flee!”

“You use all your strength, even throwing the mining hoe to block it!”

“The creature uses the First Layer Technique of Poison from the Truth!”

“Because your defense entry ‘Blind Pride’ is activated, naturally suppressing skills under the Second Layer of Truth, the creature can’t harm you!”

“You continue to flee!”

“Ten seconds have passed.”

“The designated creature ‘Kua Fu’, which happens to be the monster that was chasing you, has died.”

“Congratulations!”

“You survived!”

Shen Ye sighed in relief and again controlled his astral body’s movements.

A line of glowing text continued to appear:

“You recover the Mining Hoe.”

“You start mining again;”

“During the mining;”

“During the mining;”

“Suddenly, with a clang, a treasure falls from the mine wall.”

“Congratulations.”

“You obtained the ‘Broken Crown of Truth.'”

Two consecutive mining attempts encountered that creature!

After killing it, sure enough, mining resumed normally, and a treasure of the Truth Mine was obtained!

Shen Ye suddenly realized.

In this way, this kind of mining really seems like a plot-driven mission.

As long as the challenges are overcome, rewards will be gained!
