Dragon Hidden in the Sky

The other six people had already arrived. Liu Qing calmly said, "This is where the mine is located. This place is at the bottom of the ninth ring. Back then, the Holy Court sealed many of their treasures and inheritances in the star stones inside, and they were not discovered by the Seven Gods Sect!"

“We’ve already mined some of the surrounding areas!” Liu Qing said, then looked at Qi Feng and said, “Qi Feng, you’ll take Ye Qing deep into this mine today. You’ll lead him in the mining. Same as always, we’ll meet here in three hours and then leave!”

Ye Qing's expression shifted.

Clearly, three hours is the maximum time that Liu Qing and his group can spend here.

Feeling the pressure around him, Ye Qing didn't know how long he could endure it.

At this moment, Qi Feng chuckled and looked at Ye Qing, saying, "Kid, you better behave yourself. Judging from your appearance, you're a cunning fellow. Let me tell you, none of you are in front of me. If you dare to be disobedient, I'm telling you, you'll suffer a lot!"

Ye Qing didn't speak; he just glanced at Qi Feng!

If Qi Feng were at the early stage of Sainthood, Ye Qing would have considered trying to kill him through a sneak attack.

Now that he has broken through to the peak of both Dao and Body, his combat power has increased significantly, but Ye Qing feels that it is still very difficult to kill a Saint who is above his level.

However, if Qi Feng is in the early stage of Sainthood, Ye Qing still wants to give it a try.

However, Qi Feng was actually a late-stage Saint, making it extremely difficult for him to defeat him.

"No matter what, I have to get rid of these people first," Ye Qing thought to himself.

Liu Chengyuan nodded and said, "Let's hurry up. Let's follow the same route and go our separate ways, the same old rules!"

"Alright!" Qi Feng kicked Ye Qing again and said, "Kid, hurry up, this way!"

Ye Qing could only follow Qi Feng's instructions and proceed forward. The passageway was like a tunnel, leading in all directions, and there were traces of mining all around.

The group of seven traveled along the passage. When they encountered a fork in the road, they would separate. Ye Qing silently memorized the route. Before long, the seven people traveling together realized that only Ye Qing and Qi Feng remained.

Qi Feng was very rude to Ye Qing, kicking him at the drop of a hat, which infuriated Ye Qing.

He had never suffered such a loss in his life, not even when he was being hunted down by the Heavenly Court.

But at this moment, he could only swallow his bitterness.

As Ye Qing continued along the passage, he kept increasing his speed. Qi Feng caught up, and whenever he noticed Ye Qing slowing down, he would kick him.

After walking for about ten minutes, the surroundings began to open up, and various colored crystals appeared all around.

"Right here, find a spot and start digging in all directions!" Qi Feng said. "I'll be watching you from here. If you dare to slack off or secretly hide star-patterned stones or other treasures, I'll kill you!"

"I wouldn't dare!" Ye Qing said.

At this moment, he had already sensed a problem: the longer he stayed here, the greater the pressure on his body became, while the power of pollution was not as strong.

Ye Qing didn't know how long he could hold on, but he thought of a possibility!

Qi Feng and his group mine ore in this place. Generally speaking, they want to persevere to their limit before choosing to leave!

In other words, if Qi Feng lets Ye Qing leave later, it will either be because Ye Qing's physical body has reached its limit, or because Qi Feng's physical endurance has reached its limit!

If it's the latter, then if I attack Qi Feng, can I say that I can kill Qi Feng here?

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Qing waited silently.

He dug around and soon found a star-patterned stone among the ore. He carefully used his sword energy to mine it, and soon he had extracted the star-patterned stone!

"Give it to me!" Just then, a voice rang out.

Ye Qing looked over and found that Qi Feng was staring at him.

Left with no other choice, he could only throw the star-patterned stone over.

Qi Feng put away the star-patterned stones and cursed, "If you mine less than ten star-patterned stones in these three hours, you'll see what I do to you!"

Ye Qing cursed inwardly, but he still dutifully mined the star-patterned stone.

At the same time, he was also using the Nine Heavens Technique to temper his physical body under this pressure!

To Ye Qing's surprise, after he activated the Nine Heavens Technique, the surrounding pressure seemed to lessen. At the same time, he felt that there were strands of golden light flowing under his skin and then merging into his body.

The path of a martial artist is not as winding as the path of awakening; a martial artist goes against the will of heaven.

This discovery filled Ye Qing with joy. He felt that if he stayed in this place longer, he might actually be able to achieve physical immortality.

Time passed, and Ye Qing's mining speed was not too slow. In three hours, he mined a total of seventeen star-patterned stones!

Three hours passed quietly. Ye Qing felt that the pressure was already quite great, but it was still within the range that his physical body could bear. If he added the support of the Dao rhythm, Ye Qing felt that he could hold on for another one or two hours without too much of a problem.

He noticed Qi Feng beside him, whose forehead was covered in sweat and who was breathing heavily.

"That's enough!" Qi Feng said. "Kid, you did well today, mining seventeen stones. Remember, later you tell them you only mined twelve. I'll be watching over you today, no need for soul searching!"

Ye Qing turned his head and looked at Qi Feng, saying, "Can't you take it? Is this all a late-stage Saint is?"

Qi Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Kid, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing, you can go now. I feel I can still handle this pressure, I plan to mine for a while longer," Ye Qing said.

"I told you to leave, didn't you hear me?" Qi Feng said with a gloomy face, "Am I being too nice to you right now, making you unable to understand human language?"

Just then, Ye Qing grinned at Qi Feng and said, "How about... you challenge your limits and see how long you can stay in this place?"
