Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1017 Climbing the Holy Mountain

“You…” Yan Song glanced helplessly at Ye Qing, watching the terrifying aftershocks caused by their collision.

Ye Qing flipped his right hand and took out a Rejuvenation Pill from his spatial ring. He then put the Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth.

“Let’s go!” Yan Song said.

The two then quickly headed towards the foot of the sacred mountain.

"You actually survived Jiang Shengyang's sword strike head-on; that's enough. The power of that strike is such that even among those at the Immortal Realm, there are probably very few who could withstand it." Yan Song looked at Ye Qing and said, "Was that sword strike you just used a divine skill?"

Ye Qing did not deny it!

Soon, they arrived at the foot of the sacred mountain, where a large group of people were rushing towards it.

However... even among immortal-level experts, very few people can ascend the Holy Mountain. At this moment, only three people have stood on the steps of the Holy Mountain: Yun Jin, Lin Qianyu, and Jiang Shengyu. Everyone, including Yan Susu, is constantly being pushed back as they try to break through.

Seeing this, Yan Song roared and said, "Everyone, if you can't climb the mountain the first time, it means you can't reach the Holy Mountain. Stop insisting. If you can't reach the Holy Mountain, just leave. The commotion here will inevitably attract other people. There might even be people from the Heavenly Court on this Holy Mountain. If Chen Sixue and the others come to kill you, it will be troublesome for you to leave this place!"

"Ascending the sacred mountain doesn't mean anything. Everyone should go their separate ways. If there is a future, we can fight side by side again and overthrow this Heavenly Court!"

Those who could not climb the holy mountain gritted their teeth and began to retreat rapidly.

"Stop!" Just then, Jiang Shengyang charged over again.

Looking at Ye Qing, who was covered in blood but still alive, he said incredulously, "How can you still be alive? It's impossible!"

"That's all you've got after all that bragging!" Ye Qing grinned at him and said, "There's still over a year and a half until the Genius Battle ends. I'm sure I'll be able to break through a few more realms!" Ye Qing stared at Jiang Shengyang and said, "I'll remember you. Before this Genius Battle ends, you better wash your neck clean and wait, I'll definitely kill you!"

"Stop arguing!" Yan Song took a deep breath and said, "Let's go up the sacred mountain. I'll stop him!"

"Alright!" Ye Qing didn't insist any further.

He dragged his somewhat recovered body and quickly fell to the ground.

One after another, figures began to charge towards the sacred mountain, but the sacred mountain was indeed difficult to climb. Of the more than 800 people who tried, apart from Lin Qianyu and Yun Jin, only four people eventually made it up the steps. Ye Qing was among the last group.

The main reason he kept them was that, since they were the ones who brought them here, he had to at least make sure he saw them leave.

After most people had tried it, Ye Qing took a deep breath and quickly walked towards the sacred mountain.

Without any doubt, Ye Qing successfully stepped onto the top of the stairs, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Standing at a higher point, Jiang Shengyu looked at Ye Qing and said, "I'll be waiting for you on the mountain!"

"Go!" Yan Song shouted in a low voice, and he rushed down quickly.

The moment we arrived in front of the sacred mountain, clang…

A tremendous force instantly sent Yan Song flying!

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Yan Song in shock and said, "How could this be?"

Yan Song bounced away and landed on the ground, his eyes behind the mask filled with disbelief.

"Hehe!" He gave a bitter laugh and said, "Master said that my killing intent is too strong, and it will be extremely difficult for me to climb the Holy Mountain. I thought that was just something Master said casually, but I didn't expect... it's really true!"

At this point, he raised his head and looked at Ye Qing and the others, saying, "You all go up the mountain. I'll hold off Jiang Shengyang's pursuit for you. I can't climb the sacred mountain, so you can focus on your cultivation and compete for the destiny! Ye Qing, we'll meet again soon!"

Seeing Yan Song's expression, Ye Qing remained silent for a moment before saying, "If I gain any enlightenment on the Holy Mountain, I will share it with you. See you after the Genius Battle!"

"it is good!"

Yan Song suddenly turned around, his two unique characteristics flowing through him, and he charged at Jiang Shengyang once again!

"go!"

Without further hesitation, Ye Qing quickly began climbing the steps towards the mountain.

Together with the others, they began to climb the mountain quickly. However, after some time, when they reached about halfway up the mountain, they found that they could no longer go any further.

Seeing this, Jiang Shengyu turned around and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to continue climbing the Holy Mountain. There are many opportunities within the Holy Mountain, but you can only move around below this altitude. Scatter quickly, because Jiang Shengyang is very likely to continue attacking!"

The men looked rather grim, but they quickly dispersed.

After all, anyone who climbs the sacred mountain has the potential to become a saint. But judging from Jiang Shengyu's words, the higher one climbs, the more achievements and fortune one will have to contend for in the future!

After those people disappeared into the surrounding forests from both sides, Ye Qing and the others continued their climb!

Some time passed, and just as the group was about to continue their ascent, Jiang Shengyu suddenly frowned, unable to take another step forward.

He gave a wry smile and said, "It seems this is all I can do, you three..."

Just then, the space in front of them suddenly rippled.

Immediately afterwards, they felt as if the space was being compressed, and at the same time, the space was rapidly distorted, as if forming a passage.

They saw the end of the passage, where three figures were standing.

Cao Luo waved at Ye Qing and opened his mouth to say something, but although the distance between them seemed to have been shortened, his voice seemed unable to travel through the space!

"It seems he wants us to come over!" Lin Qianyu said at that moment.

Ye Qing nodded, thought for a moment, and then walked into the spatial passage.

The others quickly followed.

As soon as they entered, Ye Qing felt the world turn upside down, and the space they were in quickly began to return to its original state.

A few minutes later, Jiang Shengyang rushed up from the foot of the mountain.

However, when he reached the steps where Jiang Shengyu was, he could no longer climb up. He looked around and saw that there were no more energy fluctuations. Ye Qing and the others had completely disappeared.

Jiang Shengyang gripped the long sword tightly in his hand, his eyes so gloomy they were almost dripping with water!
