Dragon Hidden in the Sky

On the other side, Ye Qing arrived at the top floor of the food court!

At this moment, on the top floor of the food pavilion, there was a long corridor, and on both sides of this corridor stood many people wearing armor!

Their armor covered their entire bodies, making it impossible for Ye Qing to see their faces.

Even so, he could still sense the sharp power emanating from these people.

These people are very powerful, extremely powerful.

After passing through a long corridor, Zhu Cangyue soon led him to a magnificent gate.

Ye Qing found it hard to believe that the top floor of this food court had such a magnificent gate!

The main gate slowly opened, revealing an extremely majestic hall. The hall was empty and completely dark, except for a beam of light shining on a platform in the center.

The whole place gave Ye Qing a feeling of being both imposing and oppressive!

Zhu Cangyue led Ye Qing to the central platform, bowed to the surroundings, and said, "My lords, Ye Qing, who has broken into the twenty-fifth floor of the Ascension Tower, has been brought here!"

"Snapped!"

Just then, Ye Qing saw a doorway above light up, and along with it, a gentle voice rang out: "Little fellow, I am an elder of the Star Moon Sect. You were originally chosen by our Star Moon Sect, and you agreed to join us! You must keep your promise!"

"Hmph, old man Li, threats won't work! The most top-tier talent under the unique characteristic, why should your Star Moon Sect pre-select it!" Just then, a voice rang out: "Little fellow, I am an elder of the Profound Heaven Pavilion. You don't need to pay attention to what that old fellow from the Star Moon Sect said. Come to my Profound Heaven Pavilion, and I, the Saint, will personally accept you as my disciple!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

……

Just then, a series of door signs lit up. Ye Qing glanced at them and saw that three more forces had lit up.

Judging from the names above the gate, they are the Twelve Palaces, the Western Emperor Sect, and the Taixu Sect!

“Little fellow, I see that your characteristics are mental power, lightning, and enhancement. My Taixu Sect once had many spiritual masters, who can help you to some extent. As for the lightning characteristic, in this universe, my Taixu Sect is the orthodox lineage of lightning!” A voice came from inside the Taixu Sect.

"You can choose any of my twelve palaces. The masters of all twelve palaces can take you as their disciple. The teachings of each palace are different. In addition to having a level nine civilization as a background, my twelve palaces also have twelve top-level level eight civilizations!" A voice rang out from within the twelve palaces, saying, "If you join my twelve palaces, I can guarantee that as long as the civilization behind you develops to a certain level, you will have a smooth path to a level eight civilization!"

"Hmph, with your conditions, who wouldn't agree to them!" A gentle voice rang out from the Western Emperor Sect.

"Enough!" A voice rang out from the Star Moon Sect, "Little one, it seems that only our five families are willing to choose you now. You can make your choice!"

Ye Qing smiled bitterly to himself. The old man from the Twelve Palaces had reminded him that Chongyun Tower had not invited him. This meant that he could not join any of the other forces for the time being, otherwise, he would most likely be marked.

At the same time, Ye Qing was also curious: if he chose to join one side, would he receive their protection in this battle of geniuses?

Based on what Wang Yuheng said before, it seems that he will get it.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Seniors, I have a question. If I join you, will I receive your protection after the Genius Battle begins?"

"The Battle of Geniuses is a battle for everyone!" Just then, a voice rang out, "Since you've participated in the Battle of Geniuses, you must rely on yourself. True strength is forged through trials. We're extending an olive branch to you now, but this is merely an offer. The prerequisite is that you emerge alive from the Battle of Geniuses before you can join us!"

Ye Qing paused for a moment.

In matters of the heart, this is nothing more than getting something for nothing.

In other words, even if I enter the battle of geniuses, I will still face a lot of trouble. They might even target me. Only if I survive can I join them!

If I agree at this time, there is a high probability that they will plant a mark on my soul.

These people from the Heavenly Court are indeed doing everything they can to reduce the number of geniuses. When they can't reduce them all, they resort to taking advantage of the living geniuses!

Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Then... could I consider it carefully and give an answer after the Genius Battle is over?"

He may have great talent, but to them, he was just a person in the early stage of the extraordinary realm. No matter how talented he was, he would lose his talent once he died!

Over countless years, quite a few people have climbed to the twenty-fifth floor. As for someone like me, one more or one less makes no difference!

Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, the entire hall fell silent.

"Have you thought this through? Do you know what you'll face if you make this choice?" Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"This junior does not know," Ye Qing shook his head.

"Fine, since he's made this choice, let him be!" Immediately afterwards, the lights on the high lintel began to gradually go out.

Once all the tarpaulins were extinguished, Zhu Cangyue frowned, sighed, glanced at Ye Qing, and said, "Come with me!"

After walking through the long corridor again and entering the elevator, Zhu Cangyue frowned and said as the elevator descended, "You didn't choose to join any faction. Do you know what you will face?"

"Elimination?" Ye Qing asked.

"Although they say they won't protect you, since you've made that choice, it's generally beneficial for you!" Zhu Cangyue said, "However, this battle of geniuses is an individual battle, and it can't be said openly! And you now... sigh! You'd better watch yourself!"

Ye Qing frowned.

Upon reaching the first floor, Zhu Cangyue said, "You may leave now!"

Ye Qing walked towards the outside of the food pavilion. He felt that the big yellow dog could not possibly be unaware of the situation he might face after the challenge. What was the big yellow dog thinking?

After taking on this challenge, isn't this putting yourself in a very difficult position?
