Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1488 Breakthrough, Venerable (1)

Similarly, some changes have occurred throughout the Taiyun Galaxy over the past eight years!

Since Emperor Yongle disappeared fifteen years ago, he has not reappeared, and no one knows where he went.

A year ago, someone spread the news that the soul lamp of the Great Sage Yongle had gone out and that he might have died.

This caused panic throughout the Taiyun Galaxy. In the end, the Great Sage of the Vast Ocean came out to clarify the situation, but the news still spread like wildfire.

With the Heavenly Court dispatching four sages to oversee Jiuxuan City, many people felt that the Taiyun Star System was likely to fall completely under the control of the Heavenly Court. This led to a decrease in the number of well-known gamblers in the entire Taiyun Star System.

Of course, eight years is just a fleeting moment for most people in the universe.

These messages are of little use to the vast majority of people in the universe, and the universe remains the same.

It's still that dog-eat-dog world.

Everyone felt a sense of impending doom.

……

Meanwhile, in the Ziwei Galaxy, Ziwei No. 2 star.

Nestled among a mountain range stands a magnificent palace called the Star-Gazing Palace, the residence of Mo Wentian, the Star Lord of Ziwei No. 2!

At this moment, in front of the palace, on a cliff, two figures sat facing each other!

Mo Wentian calmly looked at Emperor Tianyan Gu Yanzhi opposite him. He held a cup of spiritual tea, took a sip, and asked, "Wentian, in all these years, have you ever gone to see your master?"

Mo Wentian was taken aback. He looked up at Gu Yanzhi and asked, "Do you think I should go see him?"

Gu Yanzhi sighed and said, "Yes, although I don't agree with the way Apocalypse rules the universe, since the chaos of the Star Sea war, the universe has entered a period of stability. Although it's unfair, at least it's stable!"

"Stable?" Mo Wentian looked at Gu Yanzhi with a half-smile and said, "Of course it's stable. You are in a high position, and you and your people enjoy the most advanced resources in the universe. You plunder everywhere and use these resources for your own purposes. Of course you're stable. Have you ever been to lower civilizations or those third-level civilizations?"

Have you ever seen those Level 2 civilizations enslaved by Level 3 civilizations?

At this point, Mo Wentian waved his hand and said, "Enough, there's no point in talking to you all this time. You and I, as exploiters, deserve to die!"

Gu Yanzhi was taken aback. He looked at Mo Wentian with a half-smile and said, "You're not someone who speaks up for the underprivileged, yet you're telling me this?"

Mo Wentian remained silent. He picked up the spirit tea and then said, "You came to see me just to talk about this?"

“Mo Wentian, I know some of your thoughts. You’ve always been unhappy that Master gave me the Great Derivation Number back then,” Gu Yanzhi said.

Mo Wentian remained silent and said, "Otherwise what? You possess life characteristics, and you can become a Great Emperor through your own efforts, while I... cannot!"

"Sigh!" Gu Yanzhi said, "Actually, it's not impossible. Your master mentioned to you that as long as you find your one and only, you can become a Great Emperor! It's just that you don't do it!"

He shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm not here to reminisce. Let me ask you, what do you plan to choose in this turmoil?"

Mo Wentian raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Yanzhi, saying, "What do you mean!"

"Mo Wentian, Mo Wentian, do you still need to pretend with me? You think you can hide many things from everyone, but I've just turned a blind eye!" Gu Yanzhi said, "For example, Xingqiong, and that copycat under your command, do you think I don't know? Including... the teleportation array that Ye Qing used to leave the Spirit Realm!"

Mo Wentian remained calm as he sipped his tea and said, "So, you plan to hand me over to the Heavenly Court?"

"No, I just want to save you. You are still my junior brother. I know you're just using Ye Qing! But let me remind you, Ye Qing... I can't see through him. You should try your best not to use him!" Gu Yanzhi said, "As for the Heavenly Court, you'd better..."

"That's enough, my affairs are none of your business!" Mo Wentian said calmly.

“Mo Wentian, you… will eventually have to choose a side. You lack the ability to manage the situation, and even the replication feature you possess is not something you can ultimately control!” Gu Yanzhi said, “Don’t dig a hole for yourself and bury yourself. Put away your ambitions if you want to survive in this changing world!”

Mo Wentian looked up at Gu Yanzhi!

Then he said casually, "And you? Aren't you also playing both sides?"

“I’m undecided, so I came to ask you!” Gu Yanzhi said with a sigh.

Mo Wentian finally calmed down, and after a long while, he asked, "What about the Qian family? What was their choice?"

“The Qian family is different. They… all have investments. Perhaps some people will die, but they will eventually pass on their legacy!” Gu Yanzhi sighed and said, “I can’t control the outcome with my own hands! So I want to ask you what your choice is?”

"Me?" Mo Wentian raised his eyes, looking at the vast and boundless sky, and said, "This... is my chance! I've lived enough, I... will take the gamble, even if it costs me my life!"

"Sigh!" Gu Yanzhi sighed deeply.

……

Ye Qing was unaware of the other changes; at this moment, he was still sitting cross-legged in the Daoist temple of Emperor Taixi.

Now, he is surrounded by the rhythm of the Great Dao, and his aura seems to have reached a certain peak!

Over the past eight years, he has absorbed countless Dao rhythms, and now he has reached a critical point. Ye Qing begins to use these Dao rhythms to attempt to break through to the Venerable realm!

The rhythm of the Great Dao enveloped Ye Qing, and within his body, the inner ocean surged and churned.

At the same time, endless energy was surging wildly towards Ye Qing's body.

The moment Ye Qing attempted to break through, the bottleneck that had bound him for fifteen years was instantly broken through, as if water had naturally flowed into a channel.

Vast energy surged into Ye Qing's body, continuously merging into his inner world.

At the same time, Ye Qing's inner ocean was churning wildly, expanding continuously into the surrounding dark regions!

Above the inner ocean, the ancient bronze tree was spinning rapidly, along with the six star beads!

A large amount of energy and the rhythm of the Great Dao surged toward his seventh flower bud.

The flower bud burst forth with vibrant colors at that moment... the petals opened, as if something was about to break free from its shell.

Ye Qing watched this scene with anticipation. As he broke through the shackles, it meant that his seventh characteristic would be fully awakened at this moment.
