Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1004 You're still too impatient!

When Ye Qing came to his senses, he was already in front of the stone tablet.

He jolted awake and instantly opened his eyes!

He looked around!

Beside him, Lin Qianyu, Su Liuyun, and Jiang Shengyu were all carefully studying the scene, seemingly oblivious to everything that had just happened to them!

Ye Qing frowned and used his mental power to check his entire body.

He found that there were no changes at all in his body. It felt as if he had made a deal with the human skin paper!

"Something's not right!" Just then, Ye Qing suddenly noticed a strange mark on his forehead, hidden under his skin. It looked like a sword aura or a sword itself!

You wouldn't notice this if you weren't looking carefully.

"So, everything that just happened was real?" Ye Qing gasped.

He glanced at Lin Qianyu and the others beside him, deciding to discuss this matter with Lin Qianyu privately when he had the chance later.

If he joins the Great Emperors and goes here, he might obtain one of the Seven Secrets of the Universe. At that time, he might even be among the top beings among the Great Emperors.

This news is absolutely shocking.

He wasn't worried that Su Liuyun and Jiang Shengyu would tell anyone, but there were too many things in this universe like soul searching, memory reading, and dream entry, making it impossible to guard against them.

If his information is read, his already troublesome situation will become even more complicated!

Seeing that several people were pondering the matter, he thought about it and decided to stay here for a few more days before discussing leaving.

He began to look around!

This place has a faint power of death because the power of death is sealed below.

It is highly likely that this is a person with the characteristic of death, and this characteristic is so terrifying that if it were released, it would cause annihilation to the entire universe.

The ruler of the spirit world back then did not exert his full strength in order to avoid danger to the entire universe.

Or, aside from this divine artifact, the so-called Seven Secrets of the Universe were also used to seal away this thing of death, and the Heavenly Court took advantage of the situation, grasped the opponent's psychology, and finally destroyed the Spirit Realm.

Ye Qing had to admit that the Heavenly Court was indeed a bit of a bastard.

If it were Ye Qing, upon discovering that the Spirit Realm could not resist the Heavenly Court, he would definitely fight to the death, and everyone would die together!

Without a doubt, the Lord of the Spirit Realm back then was a noble person, while Ye Qing, though he considered himself kind, had nothing to do with nobility.

Looking at the piles of corpses in the distance, he could imagine how many people had gone to great lengths to seal away death, only to die here in the end.

Time passed, and three days went by. Ye Qing became restless. Looking at the others who were trying to comprehend it, Ye Qing stood up and said, "Damn it, we can't figure out anything. Forget it!"

Jiang Shengyu opened his eyes and said, "Ye Qing, don't be impatient. To comprehend this kind of thing, you need to purify your mind. In the later stages of cultivation, you may sit in meditation for decades or even hundreds of years for even the slightest breakthrough!"

Ye Qing rolled her eyes and said, "I heard that the Great Emperor Guixu has been sitting here in meditation for ten thousand years? He's truly a genius!"

Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Jiang Shengyu quickly pulled Ye Qing aside and said, "Ye Qing, you must not speak ill of the Emperor."

"He can't hear me anyway, so what!" Ye Qing said.

"Whether they are saints or emperors, their abilities are beyond your imagination. To speak ill of an emperor will bring you undeserved disaster," Jiang Shengyu said.

"So what!" Ye Qing said with a sneer, "They wanted to kill me, but I'll chop off their dog heads when I get the chance!"

"Anyway, I'm not interested anymore. I can't figure anything out about this thing. Three days have passed. Shall we leave and try our luck outside to see if we can break through one or two more realms? I should also go hunt down those people from the Heavenly Court!" Ye Qing said, his eyes narrowed.

"What do you think?" Jiang Shengyu asked.

"I also feel like I can't figure anything out!" Lin Qianyu shook her head.

Su Liuyun said, "I will do whatever Brother Qing says!"

“Then let’s go!” Jiang Shengyu nodded and said.

"By the way, are you sure you want to come with me?" Ye Qing said, "The people of Heaven want to kill me. If you are found to be on good terms with me, Heaven might take action against you!"

At this point, he looked at Su Liuyun with some concern!

Under his master's instructions, Su Liuyun deliberately kept his distance from Ye Qing and the others before the Genius Battle began, but someone must have seen what happened to them when they challenged the Ascension Tower.

If the Heavenly Court were to investigate Su Liuyun, it would be quite a challenge for Su Liuyun as well. If someone were to search his soul, it might even expose his coordinates on Earth.

This is Ye Qing and Lin Qianyu's biggest weakness.

"I don't care!" Jiang Shengyu said, "But you really need to keep a certain distance from Su Liuyun. Now that you've broken through to the Immortal Realm, you should have no problem protecting yourself!"

Su Liuyun frowned and said, "How about I withdraw from the Twelve Palaces too!"

"No!" Ye Qing said, "Your status in the Twelve Palaces is still very important to us. If Earth encounters trouble in the future, even a Level 7 civilization might not dare to attack Earth, as you are a core disciple of the Twelve Palaces!"

"So we're going to break up again?" Su Liuyun gave a bitter smile.

"Actually, it's fine for you to stay here!" Jiang Shengyu said. "This place is suitable for your cultivation, and besides..."

At this point, Jiang Shengyu pondered and said, "It's necessary for you to improve your strength and stay in the Twelve Palaces. The Asura trait is indeed very strong, but... those who possess the Asura trait are born enemies! You will naturally meet, and then fight each other to seize the traits from the other to supplement your own! The stronger you are, the stronger the connection between you will be! They will find you sooner or later. Staying in the Twelve Palaces is a form of protection for you!"

Ye Qing looked at his neck; the poison on his neck was holding up fairly well!

“Yes, you can stay here and continue cultivating. Once the law of cause and effect covers you, you can leave and come to the Holy Mountain to find us!” Su Liuyun said, “I’ll go find Gu Qingcheng to get the antidote for you then!”

"Are you going to the Holy Mountain?" Su Liuyun asked.

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Isn't it said that the Holy Mountain offers the most opportunities?"

“It is indeed the most, but…” At this moment, Jiang Shengyu said, “But you may not be able to climb the Holy Mountain!”

"What do you mean by 'not necessarily able to climb the sacred mountain'?" Ye Qing asked.

“The Sacred Mountain is the most mysterious thing in this Spirit Realm, and even in the universe. Some people even say that it is the origin of the Dao, born in the chaos, and is the most ancient existence in this world!” Jiang Shengyu said, “The entire universe started with the Heavenly Court, and this Spirit Realm is the first star system born in the universe! If you comprehend even the slightest thing in the Sacred Mountain, it may be useful to the Great Emperor.”

“This sacred mountain has existed for a very long time, and there are indeed many opportunities within it. Those who can ascend the sacred mountain are not judged by their talent, but even a useless person can become a saint in the future!” Jiang Shengyu said, “This seems to have nothing to do with talent, but with luck.”

"I heard them say before that it seems to be related to talent!" Ye Qing said.

“That’s all just boasting!” Jiang Shengyu said. “Moreover, there is only one entrance to the Holy Mountain. Only those who have pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Court can ascend to the Holy Mountain. Therefore, the nine major powers will send people to guard that place. Those who want to climb the mountain usually have to pay a price to enter, such as having a mark planted on them.”

"We're going to have to fight them anyway!" Ye Qing said, "We'll just go and have a fight with them when the time comes."

Jiang Shengyu gave a wry smile and said, "In that case, let's not delay and set off immediately!"

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded, patted Su Liuyun on the shoulder, and said, "See you at the Holy Mountain!"

"Okay!" Su Liuyun nodded.

Ye Qing and his two companions circled around, intending to leave the area.

"Oh ho!" Just as they circled around to the front, Jiuqing and Qian Wanliang noticed them. Qian Wanliang said, "You're planning to leave so soon?"

"The things carved on this are like scribbles, they're completely useless!" Ye Qing said.

"Enlightenment requires concentration and tranquility. Brother Ye, you are still too impatient!" Qian Wanliang said earnestly.
