Dragon Hidden in the Sky

After listening, Ye Qing clearly sensed the woman's eyes filled with ecstatic joy as she exclaimed, "Is what you said true? You defeated a late-stage Transcendent Realm expert, and even killed him!"

Ye Qing nodded and asked, "What... is something wrong?"

The woman licked her lips and said, "Little one, do you know what the twenty-fifth floor of the Ascension Tower is equivalent to?"

"From what I've seen in my challenges, the 25th floor is probably very close to the late stage of the Transcendent Realm!" Ye Qing said.

“Yes!” the woman said excitedly, “In other words, you’ve been hiding in the Ascension Tower all along, and you have the ability to enter the 25th floor or higher! Right!”

Ye Qing pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I don't know either, but there should be a chance!"

If he used his full strength, including the Sea Heart Flame, and the Fearless move, he felt that he could easily climb two or three more floors.

After all, he didn't use the Fearless Strike against Zhong Yi; that was his real trump card.

"No wonder Xuejian said you have the ability to break the deadlock!" the woman said excitedly. "Although you don't have a unique characteristic, having two rare characteristics is still extremely rare in this universe! Now that the Star Moon Sect knows about this news, and you haven't agreed to their request, there's a high probability that this news will spread! Your danger will increase even further!"

"So, whether I stormed the building or not, the Heavenly Court would still know about me?" Ye Qing asked.

"No!" the woman said, "If you join the Star Moon Sect, they might keep it a secret, but if you refuse, the news will definitely spread! But it doesn't matter, the island is very large. In the early stages, you can look for opportunities to break through your realm. If you really have no other choice in the later stages, you can go and log on to the Holy Mountain! With your talent, you are qualified to be recognized by the Holy Mountain. After logging on to the Holy Mountain, the dangers you face will be much lower!"

"However, you might also face top experts from those powerful forces. As long as you come out alive, I'll handle everything else!" the woman said excitedly. "There is indeed an ancient book about magicians, and... it's of very high quality!"

At this point, instead of grabbing something from the bookshelf, she flipped her right hand, revealing a yellowed ancient book. She handed it to Ye Qing, her expression filled with reminiscence, and said, "This was left behind by a magician who was also a member of the Starry Sky. However, he was also exposed during the cataclysm on the ancient star eighty thousand years ago! In the end, he died at the hands of the Heavenly Court!"

"There's a magic trick he didn't finish on here!" The woman's eyes shone with even more reminiscence as she said, "If you ever have the chance, help him complete this magic trick!"

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded.

The woman thought for a moment, then flipped her hand and took out a set of throwing knives.

The throwing knives were placed in a box. When the box was opened, the throwing knives were inserted inside.

Ye Qing counted them; there were thirteen in total!

"Whether you're a magician or a psychic, throwing knives are your standard weapon. This set of throwing knives is for you to use. If you can unleash its full potential in the future, then this set of top-quality throwing knives will not have been wasted!" the woman said.

After discovering that Ye Qing possessed magician-like traits, the woman suddenly became much more enthusiastic.

"Thank you, senior!" Ye Qing said. "By the way, I still don't know your name!"

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Now that you've joined Starry Sky, we'll treat each other as equals. You can call me Fifth Sister. As for my name, it's Lan Xin, and you can call me Sister Xin!"

"I am deeply grateful, and I will certainly not disgrace this set of throwing knives!" Ye Qing said.

"Alright! Go!" Lan Xin said, "You've probably already been targeted by the top forces of the Heavenly Court. Staying here for too long might get you discovered. Go down and focus on preparing for the Genius Battle. I'll be waiting for your good news. If you're lucky, you might have a chance to become an Immortal in three years."

Ye Qing's eyes lit up slightly as she said, "Okay!"

Soon, they headed towards the elevator. After escorting Ye Qing and the other person onto the floating elevator, Lan Xin said with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, "With his talent, it's not a disgrace for him to receive what you gave him. I hope he can help you complete that unfinished magic trick. Let your successor fulfill the promise you made to me!"

As she said this, she flipped her right hand over.

A deck of cards appeared in his hand.

These playing cards are clearly different from Earth's playing cards. Each card has a symbol on it, and of course, each card also has a portrait on it—a portrait of an extremely handsome man!

She stared at the portrait, lost in thought!

A moment later, she put away the playing cards, then put on a mask, and in the next instant, she disappeared from the spot!

Meanwhile, on the other side, in a huge manor in Linxian City.

Beside a pool shrouded in ethereal mist, a man in a Taoist robe sat fishing. He had white hair and wore a yin-yang mask, obscuring his features.

Behind him stood a burly man, who was standing respectfully.

Before long, the woman's graceful figure slowly solidified in the background.

"Have you seen the little guy?" the fisherman asked.

Lan Xin nodded, picked up the fruit brimming with rich energy, removed half of her mask, took a bite, and said, "It's even better than we imagined!"

"Oh?" The burly man said, "Being able to reach the twenty-fifth floor is indeed top-tier talent. There is a certain probability that he will reach our level in the future, but he is ultimately not a game-changer. We have been waiting for eighty thousand years. When will the next Tian Ge appear!"

“No!” Lan Xin shook her head and said, “If he wanted to, he could cross more than twenty-five floors, and…”

At this point, Lan Xin pondered for a moment and said, "The Heavenly Court also knows his true strength!"

As she spoke, Lan Xin told the two about Ye Qing's magician traits and his victory over a late-stage Transcendent!

After listening, the burly man said, "So, he possesses four characteristics, and he has also followed the path of a martial artist, giving him the ability to ascend to the 26th level or higher?"

“Yes!” Lan Xin nodded and said, “I’ve made up my mind. As long as he survives the Genius Battle, I will take him to the Heavenly Court to improve his strength as quickly as possible!”

“Bringing him into the Heavenly Court is very risky!” the burly man said.

Lan Xin looked at the old man fishing!

The burly man looked at the old man and asked, "Boss, what do you think?"

"Perhaps he is not the one who will break the deadlock!" the old man said. "But I can sense that the appearance of that one is getting closer and closer. Before he appears, it wouldn't hurt for us to cultivate as many top-tier experts as possible. However, it is too early for him to enter the Heavenly Court. Let's send him to Chaotic Star after the Genius Battle ends!"

……

On the other side, Ye Qing and Lin Qianyu also quickly returned to their residence.

After returning, the two went straight to the big yellow dog!

In the manor's hall, the big yellow dog was lying on the floor sleeping when suddenly it felt itself being lifted up by someone.

"Fuck your grandpa!" The big yellow dog cursed as it saw Ye Qing in front of it, "I'm having a wet dream!"

"What's going on with the starry sky?" Ye Qing asked, glaring at it.

"Huh, you found out so quickly?" The big yellow dog looked at Ye Qing in surprise and said, "Sigh, these guys in Xingqiong are getting more and more impatient. He's just a little guy who climbed to the 26th floor. Is he worth them trying to win over? If they knew that their master had a unique characteristic, wouldn't they treat him like a god?"

"Don't change the subject!" Ye Qing said, "You arranged all of this, didn't you!"

"Actually, I only just learned about the existence of the Starry Sky!" the big yellow dog said. "After meeting Xue Jian and talking to him, I learned that the Starry Sky still exists in the universe and was not completely destroyed in that battle back then."

"Why don't you just explain it to us directly!" Ye Qing glared at him and said.

"I'm just worried that you'll know too much and be under too much pressure!" the big yellow dog said with a smirk. "Don't worry, I have already arranged all your paths. As long as you follow my arrangements, you will surely be able to stand at the pinnacle of this universe in the future."
