Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1504, Chapter 1504, Breaking Through the Barrier

"Oh?" Ye Qing's expression shifted.

“You should know about the Chaotic Star Sea, right? You were there during the first battle between the Heavenly Court and the Chaotic Star Sea!” Gu Linyu said.

Ye Qing nodded and said, "I know! Something happened in the Chaotic Star Sea?"

"The Heavenly Court has launched another war against the Chaotic Star Sea," Gu Linyu said. "And in this war, many people have emerged, one of whom should be an old acquaintance of yours, Yun Jin!"

"Did something happen to Yun Jin?" Ye Qing asked.

"That's not it!" Gu Linyu said, "Yun Jin comprehended the Dao during the battle, broke through to the Venerable Realm, and his Devouring Power shook the heavens and the earth, killing several Venerable experts."

"The second thing is that the Heavenly Court has an eighth Great Emperor. He was originally a peak Saint of the Xuanhuang Civilization. Five years ago, he broke through to the Great Emperor realm and participated in the Battle of the Chaotic Star Sea. He was known as the Radiant Emperor. In that battle, he faced Xie Bi'an head-on and seriously injured Xie Bi'an! Now Xie Bi'an's fate is unknown!" Gu Linyu said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing's expression changed. He had a very good impression of Xie Bi'an, and he never expected that Xie Bi'an was now in a state of uncertainty about whether he was alive or dead.

"What about the Chaotic Star Sea? Has it been breached?" Ye Qing asked.

"Of course not. Tianjue is in charge of the Bridge, one of the Seven Secrets of the Universe. With the Bridge in the Heavenly Court, it is almost impossible for it to be breached. Not to mention that Tianjue and Zhang Tianlin are both extremely terrifying beings. It is said that Zhang Tianlin, who was in charge of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Palace, almost killed the Emperor of Karma! I don't know the specifics. They are just rumors circulating in the universe."

"Aside from that, there are some minor issues. For example, it's rumored that Emperor Yongle has died, which has led to fewer people having fun in the Taiyun Star System and fewer pedestrians on the streets!"

Hearing this, Ye Qing was speechless.

Emperor Yongle most likely went to comprehend the method to become an emperor. As for why this rumor came out, he couldn't say for sure. Could it be that something unexpected happened when he broke through to become an emperor?

Gu Linyu was indeed very outgoing. After chatting for a while, he and Ye Qing started calling each other brothers.

Ye Qing gradually lowered his guard, after all, if the other party were three saints and really wanted to attack him, he would have no way to resist.

Gu Linyu, being an outgoing person, would never let his words fall flat. He kept pressing Ye Qing with questions, mainly about Ye Qing's experiences, as if he were very curious about Ye Qing's journey.

Ye Qing answered selectively.

Before they knew it, it had gotten dark. Lin An couldn't help but say, "Ayu, let him catch up with Long Rui. You've been chasing after her all day!"

Gu Linyu then chuckled and said, "Well, brother, I'll be leaving now. You and Long Rui can chat!"

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded!

After Gu Linyu and the others had gone far away, Ye Qing looked at Long Rui. Long Rui's pretty face showed a hint of excitement as she said, "I didn't expect to meet you so soon. I was originally planning to come and find you after I broke through to the Saint realm!"

Ye Qing nodded and asked, "What realm are you at now?"

"Late stage of Venerable Realm!" Long Rui said, "However, the further you go, the slower the rate of improvement becomes!"

Ye Qing was speechless. The Dragon King's heart was indeed remarkably effective.

Long Rui's improvement was no slower than Ye Qing's and the others, and was even a bit faster.

"How are they?" Ye Qing asked.

“I think we can cooperate, but I haven’t figured out their background or where they come from. But from what I’ve gotten to know, they seem like decent people. Putting aside the other two, what about Gu Linyu…” Long Rui pondered, “How should I put it? Maybe it’s because he’s been well protected? He seems quite naive, but that naivety is relative!”

"Relatively speaking?" Ye Qing's expression shifted. "What do you mean?"

“When he makes a move, it’s terrifying. He kills without hesitation, as if he’s slaughtering a bunch of beasts!” Long Rui said.

Ye Qing's expression shifted slightly.

Gu Linyu did indeed give him the impression that he wasn't too deeply involved in the matter.

However, Long Rui's description and the personality he displayed were in stark contrast!

“But I think cooperating with them is possible!” Long Rui said. “If they can really kill these thirty-odd Venerables and four Saint-level experts, it would be a great loss for the Heavenly Court!”

Indeed, there are only about a hundred saints and masters in the universe, and the death of four of them is a great loss to the Heavenly Court.

Then, Long Rui asked, "By the way, when do you plan to leave? I'd like to go to the Taixi Mountains with you."

"I'll probably leave first thing tomorrow morning. I'll stay in Jiuxuan City for a few more days to gather more information from these past few years, and then I'll return to the Taixi Mountains!" Ye Qing said. "Aren't you going with them?"

“In the past few years, I’ve also wanted to find a place to go into seclusion. I want to digest more information and try to reach the peak of the Venerable realm before I take action,” Long Rui said.

Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, then you can come with me tomorrow. I'll take you to the Taixi Mountains. The Taixi Mountains are indeed a suitable place for cultivation and seclusion."

"Okay!" Long Rui asked, "Are Qianyu and the others in the Taixi Mountains?"

"Yes!" Ye Qing nodded and said, "Besides Qian Yu, Yan Song and his sister, as well as Ling Yingxue, are all here!"

Long Rui smiled and said, "It's been so many years since I last saw them. I miss them quite a bit. I've been thinking back to our trip to Silent Hill a lot lately!"

Ye Qing smiled.

The two chatted for a while, and then Long Rui said goodbye to Ye Qing and left.

The next morning, Ye Qing and Long Rui went to say goodbye to Gu Linyu.

Gu Linyu felt it was a great pity, but he didn't keep it. He just told Ye Qing to make a move and to remember to crush the talisman before doing so.

He seemed eager to expose himself!

This left Ye Qing speechless!

If he could, he would love to just lie low and wait until he becomes the emperor!

If it weren't for that bastard big yellow dog deliberately arranging for him to participate in the Genius Battle, Ye Qing would probably still be hiding somewhere right now.

Of course, the big yellow dog's arrangement also had its advantages. Under immense pressure, Ye Qing had no choice but to force himself to cultivate and improve as quickly as possible.

The downside is that the pressure is immense. One wrong step and it's all over!

The two stayed in the city for several more days, with Ye Qing gathering information from various places.

Most of these messages were not much different from what Gu Linyu had told Ye Qing.

Ye Qing was also considering whether he should go to the Chaotic Star Sea to provide support after this was over.

However, although they are now Venerables, it seems that they still cannot change the course of the battle too much. After the battle in Nine Profound City, they may attract more attention from the Heavenly Court. If a Saint dies at their hands, will the Heavenly Court send an Emperor to hunt them down?

Even Ye Qing couldn't say for sure about that!

After the two stayed for a few days, Ye Qing took Long Rui into the third floor of his Great Evolution Tower, and then headed towards the Taixi Mountains.

The Taixi Mountains are vast, stretching for thousands of kilometers, and the Heavenly Court has also built houses spanning thousands of kilometers, housing millions of people!

Of course, this is not a difficult thing for advanced civilizations.

Ye Qing traveled all the way to a place more than a thousand kilometers away from the Sage.

Then he unleashed his mental power, rendering most of the people within his mental energy unconscious, before swiftly rushing into the Taixi Mountains from that direction.

The instant Ye Qing rushed in, a loud alarm sounded all around.

Ye Qing rushed in at top speed, pushing his speed to the limit. He rushed for over a hundred kilometers before his expression changed, and he quickly took out the Great Evolution Pagoda.

He threw the Great Tower into a pile of rubble, and then activated his Magician's Ability.

In an instant, the exterior of the Dayan Pagoda changed, becoming indistinguishable from the surrounding piles of inkstones!

Then, Ye Qing quickly went inside and hid!

He underestimated the abilities of the saintly experts. The moment the alarm sounded, Ye Qing sensed four terrifying auras rushing toward him at a speed visible to the naked eye!
