Dragon Hidden in the Sky

There was a hint of helplessness in Zhou Xue's words!

Ye Qing glanced at her and said, "So, you're also someone who has been marked by the Xuan Tian Pavilion?"

Zhou Xue was silent for a moment, then she nodded and said, "Mm!"

"Everyone in your Xuantian Pavilion has been marked?" Ye Qing asked again.

Zhou Xue shook her head and said, "The Xuantian Pavilion is actually divided into two parts: the inner pavilion and the outer pavilion. All the people in the inner pavilion come from the ninth-level civilization behind the Xuantian Pavilion, namely the Star Lord Civilization. People from that civilization will not be marked. However, the people in the outer pavilion come from various civilizations. Every once in a while, the Xuantian Pavilion will recruit people from civilizations of level seven or above. Those with outstanding talents can apply and enter the Xuantian Pavilion after passing the trial!"

"Does this mark usually restrict you a lot?" Ye Qing asked curiously.

Zhou Xue shook her head and said, "Actually, there aren't many restrictions. Xuan Tian Pavilion doesn't really care. Planting the mark is just to ensure that we won't betray them!"

Ye Qing was slightly surprised!

In the first round, the Heavenly Court recruited the most talented individuals to its own cause.

Then use this group of people to hunt down any fish that slipped through the net in the universe!

Perhaps their talents are not as high as those of some lower civilizations, but with the terrifying energy intensity of the Heavenly Court, their realm will definitely be stronger than those with extraordinary talents from lower civilizations.

This gap in skill level cannot be bridged by talent, which is why many people die in battles against geniuses.

When geniuses die, fewer experts will rise to power, making it easier for them to rule. This has already formed a perfect pattern.

"Actually, I really admire you!" Zhou Xue said, looking at Ye Qing. "For people like us who have been marked, it's actually very difficult to even reach the Venerable level in this lifetime!"

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

"It's a mindset. People like us have already given up. With this mindset, it's extremely difficult to break through to the Venerable level!" Zhou Xue said with a bitter smile.

Ye Qing didn't understand, and he didn't intend to discuss this further with the other party. He continued, "Let's continue talking about the ruins!"

Zhou Xue nodded and said, "It's just ahead, about a hundred kilometers away, there's a ruin. Ruins aren't uncommon on this island, but this one has an underground city that's been perfectly preserved. In the past few days, more and more people have entered it, including many experts at the late and peak stages of the Transcendent Realm!"

"I also tried my luck, and I was lucky enough to bring back this sixth-grade sword technique, but those two have their eyes on it!" Zhou Xue said with a wry smile, "I advise you not to go. There are quite a few people from the nine major forces who have entered. If you go in, they won't let you go!"

Ye Qing's expression shifted slightly as he said, "Oh?"

Seeing Ye Qing's expression, Zhou Xue shook his head and said, "It seems you're planning to go and give it a try!"

"Since there are many opportunities in these ruins, I naturally want to try my luck." Ye Qing chuckled.

He had almost memorized the ancient book; with his arrival in the extraordinary realm, Ye Qing's memory had become quite powerful.

However, to avoid making a mistake, he thought for a moment and took out his phone to photograph the ancient book page by page. Then he put the phone into his spatial ring and tossed it to Zhou Xue, saying, "By the way, I have a question for you. How do I get to Fission Valley?"

"Fission Valley?" Zhou Xue's expression changed slightly. "What are you going to Fission Valley for?"

"Is something wrong here?" Ye Qing asked.

Zhou Xue said, "There are several places on this island that are recognized as having the most opportunities. This Fission Valley is one of them. It has many opportunities and attracts a large number of people. However, it is also extremely dangerous. It is said that this place is the burial place of several saint-level experts!"

Ye Qing frowned deeply.

Why would Lin Qingzhu choose such a place to meet? Is she planning to find an opportunity here?

Thinking about this, he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"Could you tell me his direction?" Ye Qing asked.

"The Fission Valley is in the direction of sunset, to the west of this island. If you follow the direction of sunset, you will find the Fission Valley!" Zhou Xue said. "However, I do not recommend that you go to such a place. Such a large ruin will inevitably attract many people from the nine major powers, including some of their holy sons and daughters, who are immortal beings."

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Understood!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "From now on, you'd better be careful!"

After saying that, Ye Qing quickly headed towards the ruins that Zhou Xue had pointed out!

"Ye Qing!" Just then, Zhou Xue's voice rang out behind him.

"Is there anything else?" Ye Qing asked.

"Aren't you... really afraid?" Zhou Xue asked.

"What are you afraid of?" Ye Qing asked.

"The entire Heavenly Court might try to kill you. The Heavenly Court won't allow any genius to exist beyond their control!" Zhou Xue said. "You might face the pursuit of countless people from the entire Heavenly Court. I suggest you find a place to cultivate! I think you're a good person, and I don't want to see you go to your death!"

"Sending them to their deaths?" Ye Qing grinned and said, "Who lives and who dies is really hard to say!"

At this point, he waved his hand and said, "But I still appreciate your reminder. I hope you can live to see the end of this place in three years."

After saying that, he moved his feet and quickly ran towards the ruins!

He kept frowning as he flew!

In fact, Ye Qing had always felt something was strange!

After arriving in Linxian City, Lin Qingzhu hadn't contacted him much. Ye Qing had thought that if they were to cooperate, Lin Qingzhu would tell him what she knew about the island.

But she didn't.

Ye Qing initially thought that Lin Qingzhu might not know much.

Because Lin Qingzhu had indeed helped him resolve some troubles on Gamma Star, Ye Qing still trusted her to some extent!

But now, Ye Qing began to have some doubts.

Since she chose the Valley of Rift, she couldn't possibly be unaware that it would attract people from the nine major powers, but she still did it anyway!

Could it be... that he has been bribed by the nine major powers?
