Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Upon seeing this, Gu Qingcheng turned around abruptly and looked at Ye Qing's hand.

At this moment, Ye Qing's hands were completely filled with that strange gray aura.

"What are you doing?" Gu Qingcheng asked, a hint of fear showing on her pretty face.

"I don't know!" Ye Qing said.

"You!" Gu Qingcheng looked at Ye Qing strangely.

Ye Qing looked at the parchment, but he felt nothing except for a chilling feeling all around him.

However, it is visible to the naked eye that this parchment is now like a sponge, frantically absorbing the gray aura around it!

"What the hell is this?" Ye Qing cursed!

From the very beginning, he knew this thing was very strange.

“Let’s go!” Gu Qingcheng said.

Ye Qing nodded, and the two of them immediately sped up!

The surrounding corpses began to collapse to the ground, and in just a few breaths, they had crossed the area!

After passing through this area, the number of skeletons ahead had noticeably decreased, with only a few scattered remains.

Clearly, not many people are able to reach this place by crossing this bridge.

"What's going on with you?" Gu Qingcheng asked again.

After traversing this area, Ye Qing discovered that the gray aura had stopped drifting over.

The gray aura gradually disappeared into the parchment. Ye Qing picked up the parchment and looked at it!

On the parchment, there were lines of text!

"I followed Gu Qingcheng and stepped onto that bridge to death. With the help of the parchment in my hand, I successfully broke through that area filled with the aura of the dead. After that, with only a narrow escape from death, we successfully crossed the bridge!"

"However, ahead of the bridge, Chen Sixue and Wang Yuheng were in dire straits. Gu Qingcheng and I decided to ignore them and follow Gu Qingcheng's route. I successfully found a marrow cleansing pool!"

"I decided to cultivate here, but Gu Qingcheng's Marrow Cleansing Pool attracted me. I went there alone to seek opportunities, but ended up dying a tragic death!"

"After I broke through to the mid-stage of the Extraordinary Realm, I decided to hurry up and meet up with Lin Qianyu. However, when I left the Marrow Cleansing Pool, I found that Gu Qingcheng had disappeared. Since we came in together, I decided to go and find him. However... this plunged me into endless despair... So, I decided to make a deal with the parchment because I knew that this... would be my only hope to survive."

Ye Qing saw the writing on the parchment, and Gu Qingcheng naturally saw it too. At this moment, her pupils were dilating. She stared at the parchment in disbelief, swallowed hard, and said, "You...you...what...what is this thing in your hand? How...how could it guess my thoughts? And, it...it said...I will die...what...does that mean?"

Ye Qing's brows furrowed deeply.

Ye Qing was aware of the strangeness of this parchment.

This thing seems to have sentience!

Now it seems to be foreshadowing something. Judging from Gu Qingcheng's reaction, at least in terms of the text, she intends to bring herself to the so-called Marrow Cleansing Pool to search for other things on her own, which is absolutely correct.

Ye Qing thought of the parchment that the Vermilion Bird Goddess had mentioned before.

At that time, the remnant soul of the Vermilion Bird Goddess told Ye Qing that this parchment was very strange and could be used, but it should never be used too much!

Just moments before, Ye Qing had no idea that he had brought the parchment out of the ancient star.

"I obtained this item by chance, but I don't know what it's for!" Ye Qing swallowed hard and said, "So, what's described in this text is true, right? You plan to let me go in and find the benefits on my own?"

Gu Qingcheng's pretty face fell silent.

After a moment, she nodded silently and said, "Since you already know, I'll take you with me then!"

The moment she finished speaking, the lines of text on the parchment began to blur, and then another line of text appeared.

The text at the beginning is not much different, but it changes later on.

"After Gu Qingcheng and I arrived at the Marrow Cleansing Pool, we were unaware that an immense crisis was looming over us, one that was far beyond my capabilities at the extraordinary level. In order to survive, I decided to make a deal with the parchment..."

All other information disappeared at that moment.

Ye Qing frowned, looked up at Gu Qingcheng and asked, "Do you know what this parchment is?"

Gu Qingcheng remained silent for a long time before saying, "Perhaps, I do know a thing or two!"

"Hmm?" Ye Qing's expression shifted. "What?"

“Uniqueness traits, among the fate-related traits, there is one called ‘Prophet’,” Gu Qingcheng said. “This Prophet, as the name suggests, is a prophetic trait, a fate trait, and it is one of the most terrifying traits in the world. Countless ages ago! It is said that there was a person who possessed such a terrifying trait… He personally created a level nine civilization.”

"And then?" Ye Qing asked.

“According to our sect’s ancient records, this person ultimately chose to commit suicide!” Gu Qingcheng said.

"Suicide?" Ye Qing asked curiously, "Why?"

"I don't know. Ancient records say that he saw the end of his life, so he chose to commit suicide. He first cut off his own hands and made them into a pair of pure white hands. It is said that these hands carry his soul!"

"Then he sealed all his special powers into his own flesh and ordered his skin to be peeled off. He then broke the skin into many pieces and scattered them throughout the universe. Each piece of skin possessed spirituality and prophetic abilities, and when put together, they formed a complete book of prophecy!" Gu Qingcheng said.

Her pretty face was filled with fear as she looked at Ye Qing's hand and said, "I thought it was just a legend. When I flipped through that ancient book, I treated it as just a piece of unofficial history. But now, your situation makes me start to doubt the truth of this matter!"

"How exactly did you get this parchment?" Gu Qingcheng asked.

"It was a coincidence!" Ye Qing said with a wry smile, "And...it really did seem to have a pair of pure white hands back then!"

Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Gu Qingcheng fell silent.
