Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1009 A Destined Ally

Once they were all gone, Yan Song calmly sat down on the stone bench, smiling as he looked Ye Qing up and down.

"Brother Ye, you were indeed hiding your true abilities. At first, everyone thought you only had four characteristics, but I never expected you to have five!"

"While everyone thought Brother Ye possessed five traits, no one expected that he was secretly hiding such a terrifyingly rare trait: the Eye of the Gods!"

He looked at Ye Qing with a smile and said, "It seems that Xingqiong's decision to let you join is an excellent one!"

Ye Qing looked at Yan Song, whose brows were deeply furrowed.

When he joined Star Dome, Star Dome only had twenty members, and the member before him was Snow Sword from the Snow Clan.

Xue Jian has been a member of Xingqiong for quite some time now. In other words, Yan Song is most likely not a member of Xingqiong, yet he knows of Xingqiong's existence. Ye Qing finds this very strange.

"Surprised?" Yan Song said, "Let me introduce myself. My sister and I are both disciples of Star Dome 1! As for why we're not members of Star Dome..."

Yan Song's eyes held a bitter smile as he said, "That's because, although the members of Star Dome are all individuals, they are all leaders of a certain civilization, representing a civilization, a star system, while my homeland... has been destroyed!"

With a hint of bitterness in his eyes, he said, "Therefore, I can't be considered a member of Starry Sky. In terms of seniority, you are a generation higher than me and Susu!"

"Destroyed?" Ye Qing looked at him strangely.

“Some past events!” Yan Song said, “But we are on the same side. We are both going to fight against the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court wants to kill you, and Su Su and I are sworn enemies with the Heavenly Court!”

When he said these things, his tone seemed nonchalant, and he was incredibly calm, but Ye Qing could sense the anger he was suppressing beneath that calm!

His civilization was destroyed.

If the Earth were destroyed, Ye Qing didn't know what state he would be in, but he was certain that he would most likely not be as calm as Yan Song was in front of him.

“You possess six characteristics, three of which are rare. Your abilities are no less than unique!” Yan Song said. “The Starry Sky’s choice of you is a good one!”

"The existence of a unique characteristic like you in the Starry Sky proves that I made the right choice!" Ye Qing said.

"History... is a cycle!" Yan Song said with a smile. "Do you know why I gathered these people, and why I knew about this cave hidden beneath the waterfall?"

Ye Qing shook her head.

“Countless ages ago, there were four people!” Yan Song said. “They all possessed unique characteristics. They gathered here, became sworn siblings, and then challenged the Heavenly Court!”

"They built the Starry Sky, and even caused considerable trouble for the Heavenly Court at one point. But in the end, they failed, the ancient star perished, and the strongest challenger ultimately failed to become the Great Emperor of the Righteous Path!" Yan Song said.

"The Azure Dragon Divine Bone Heavenly Spear? Was this the place where the four of them gathered back then?" Ye Qing asked.

Yan Song nodded and said, "Yes, they gathered here back then, and now... I chose this place, as if it were fate. Yun Jin, Lin Qianyu, you and I have gathered here again to challenge the Heavenly Court once more, just like the cycle of history. But this time, I don't know if we can succeed!"

Ye Qing looked at Yan Song and felt that the man in front of him was frighteningly mature.

Unlike Jiang Shengyu, who feigned maturity.

The pine tree before me is truly intelligent, clever, and shrewd.

Ye Qing was also somewhat moved. He hadn't expected that the people Tian Ge, the Vermilion Bird Goddess, the Black Tortoise Divine Bone, and the White Tiger Divine Bone had all appeared in the same era and gathered in this cave!

Now, four of them have gathered here. History is a cycle, and he has no idea what the outcome of their attack on the Heavenly Court will be!

"This is where it begins!" Yan Song looked at Ye Qing, his eyes calm yet resolute, and said, "The finish line is in the Heavenly Court!"

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded.

Ye Qing looked at Yan Song and asked, "How long did it take you to gather all these people?"

"About half a month!" Yan Song said, "There are quite a few people who want to try their luck at the Holy Mountain. These people can all be won over. In about another month, we should be able to gather a team of about a thousand people. Although the number is not enough, it is only a passage to the Holy Mountain after all... so we are confident that we can achieve it."

"It is said that not many people want to go up the holy mountain!" Ye Qing said. "Even all of us gathered here may not be able to climb it, or what if we do climb it but the others can't? What will happen to them? If they can't escape, they will die there."

“Those who dare to come here, who dare to climb the sacred mountain, are all willing to risk their lives to secure a future for themselves and the civilization behind them!” Yan Song said, “I don’t force them; they can voluntarily withdraw, but none of those who come have ever withdrawn!”

"Ye Qing!" Yan Song said, "We are different from the people of the Heavenly Court. Lower civilizations, including those of the sixth level, are oppressed by higher civilizations. They know how miserable their lives are! They think it's worth it to sacrifice one person's life to secure a future for another civilization!"

Upon hearing Yan Song's words, Ye Qing fell silent.

Indeed, if... he seems to have always been doing so, risking his life for the future of the Earth!

"Alright!" Yan Song said, "I just wanted to have a private chat with you so that you wouldn't feel hostile towards me. From the very beginning, we were destined allies, including Yun Jin! I don't want you to misunderstand me!"

"Of course, I will not mention a single word of the secrets of your six characteristics to anyone, not even my master, until you tell them yourself!" Yan Song smiled.

"Thank you!" Ye Qing nodded.

……

For the next two weeks, Ye Qing stayed in this cave.

Of course, he wasn't idle either. Apart from cultivating, he spent most of his time with Lin Qianyu, studying the sword techniques that Lin Qianyu had obtained!

However, mastering a special skill is indeed extremely difficult. Even Ye Qing, who has a strong learning ability, has not been able to figure it out in just half a month.

Over the course of half a month, the number of people in the cave increased significantly.

In just half a month, there were already more than 800 people!

Half a month later, Yun Jin could no longer wait.
