Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing gasped!

He originally thought that Chen Sixue and the others were stronger, but most likely only at the mid-stage of the Immortal realm!

Among the genius warriors who participated, there were only a few dozen at the Immortal level. The difficulty of entering the Immortal realm at this age is evident!

This is the result of all the geniuses in the entire universe gathering here.

After entering the Immortal Realm, the speed of cultivation will inevitably be extremely slow. Reaching the late stage of Immortal Realm before the age of fifty, Ye Qing pondered, even if he were in the Heavenly Court, he might not be able to reach such a speed.

The energy he needs to advance to the next level is truly terrifying.

"And another thing!" Gu Qingcheng said, "Don't think you can fight them beyond your level. As the top inheritors of top forces, most of these people come from level nine civilizations. Their foundation is beyond your imagination. Many of them may even have mastered divine skills, although only superficial ones, but they can still overpower those of the same level."

“Each of them is capable of ascending to the 25th floor or higher of the Ascension Tower!” Gu Qingcheng said. “They themselves are capable of fighting beyond their level!”

Ye Qing swallowed hard and said, "So, there's a monster right behind me who might be chasing me? Should I run away first?"

“I told you, with me here, they wouldn’t dare do anything to you,” Gu Qingcheng said.

"You just broke through to the Immortal Realm? It sounds like Chen Sixue could crush you like an ant!" Ye Qing said.

“She wouldn’t dare!” Gu Qingcheng said smugly.

Ye Qing was silent for a moment before saying, "Let's hurry up and grab what we need and run!"

He didn't want to entrust his fate to the word "dare not." Gu Qingcheng sounded very confident, as Chen Sixue and Wang Yuheng had indeed been very polite to her before.

But since she was so powerful and came from a level nine civilization, her foundation was not bad either. He dared not gamble on this possibility. If he gambled wrongly, he would be doomed.

Gu Qingcheng nodded and said, "Okay!"

They walked along the cave for a while, when suddenly, a soft light emanated from in front of them!

"We're almost there!" Gu Qingcheng said.

Soon they followed a passage and arrived at a wide open space.

Upon arrival, Ye Qing felt a chill run down his spine, and the feeling of being watched intensified.

“Let’s go!” Gu Qingcheng said.

"Don't rush!" Ye Qing said, "This place is very strange. The parchment mentioned that this place is extremely dangerous. What if we rush in and die inside?"

As he spoke, he stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside!

That one glance sent chills down his spine.

Before them lay an extremely spacious area, with light strips on both sides that still illuminated the space brightly despite the passage of countless years!

Above this space, countless enormous red chains stretched out, one after another, and at the end of these red chains was a blood-red coffin!

The blood-red coffin looked so shocking.

Above ground, it was even more terrifying, with endless jagged ravines stretching out towards the center like inscriptions!

Meanwhile, in that open space, there were figures sitting cross-legged, all holding weapons, facing the center of the open space. Some of them had their bodies preserved, while others were just skeletons!

In the center of their vision was an altar, upon which sat a red coffin, seemingly embedded within it. Above the coffin floated four objects.

An ancient book, an old-fashioned longsword, a piece of wood about the size of an arm, square and upright, and finally, a strange badge floating in the air!

"Is this place really alright?" Ye Qing asked. "This is too strange. These people have remained in the same posture for countless years!"

"They must have all died in that battle, beyond the immortal realm, their remains preserved for eternity!" Gu Qingcheng said. "Our sect's ancient records state that as long as we don't touch these people, we won't encounter any trouble!"

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "Did you run into them?"

“If you touch it, you’ll be swallowed by the crimson color and turn to ashes!” Gu Qingcheng said. “But the gaps between them are wide enough that we won’t encounter this problem. Let’s hurry and get our things!”

Ye Qing stopped her again, saying, "Don't be in such a hurry!"

“According to your statement, it has been countless years since your first generation entered this place, including the Academy and the Xuantian Pavilion. In all this time, no one has successfully brought anything back, and…” Ye Qing paused here and said, “If they died here, they didn’t even leave behind any clothes. This is too strange! Logically speaking, the people from your three families who dared to come to this place should all be at the Immortal level!”

“Even if they died, they would still have left behind corpses!” Ye Qing said. “In addition to the reminder from that parchment, I feel that… there must be something strange about this place.”

At this point, Ye Qing asked, "Did any of the people who entered this place afterward bring back any information?"

Gu Qingcheng frowned, then shook her head and said, "Indeed, we didn't bring back any useful information, but quite a few people actually survived. However, what they all said was... after entering this place, they inexplicably left this place, and when they woke up, they were in another location on the island!"

"So, people who enter here will be inexplicably teleported away?" Ye Qing asked.

“It should be!” Gu Qingcheng said.

"What are the chances of the people you sent here returning?" Ye Qing asked.

“Many people die in the Genius Battle,” Gu Qingcheng said.

Ye Qing stroked his chin, pondering. The more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed.

Look at the four treasures floating in the distance!

Any one of these items will have a huge impact on Ye Qing's future, especially the rootless tree.

If we could get it, it would be an incredible thing, but... the process seems to be really bizarre!

He glanced at the blood-red coffin in the air!

He gritted his teeth and said, "Fortune favors the bold...we..."

At this point, Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat again.

He discovered that his idea had indeed been predicted by the parchment!
