Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1424 Gu Yanzhi's Worries

During the rockfall season, some people are happy while others are sad. Some people are left behind in the Taixi Mountains forever, while others obtain some star-patterned stones and become rich overnight.

Of course, the vast majority of things are still in the hands of advanced civilizations.

This is the method of governance used by the Heavenly Court today.

Under the rule of the pyramids, all resources in the world were consumed by the nine level-nine civilizations, who then distributed them to the civilizations below them.

The same applies during the period of falling rocks. A large number of star-patterned stones will be obtained by the Heavenly Court, while the other domain lords who come from various places risk their lives to obtain very little.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Jiuxuan City, Gu Xiaoge was sitting among them.

Before long, a figure slowly walked into the hall.

Just as Gu Xiaoge was about to speak, the newcomer waved his right hand, and a surge of energy enveloped the surroundings. Only then did he speak, saying, "Let's talk now. I already know some information. Where is Qingcheng? Is she in that Boundless World? With those little guys like Ye Qing?"

Gu Xiaoge nodded and said, "Yes!"

The person who came was Gu Yanzhi. He frowned slightly and said, "You should have brought him with you."

“That place is indeed very suitable for cultivation. The energy of heaven and earth there is rare even in the Heavenly Court,” Gu Xiaoge said. “Moreover, with Ye Qing and the others there, her safety should not be a problem!”

"That's the problem. If other people come out and discover that Qingcheng and Ye Qing are involved, things will become very difficult for our Ziwei Star System!" Gu Yanzhi said with a headache.

“I reckon it will be very difficult for them to get out of this!” Gu Xiaoge said.

"Oh?" Gu Yanzhi's expression shifted. "What do you mean?"

“Ye Qing is very strong. I sparred with him once before. At that time, he had just broken through to the late stage of the Domain Lord realm, and his realm was not very stable. My fight with him was probably about 5.5 to 4.5,” Gu Xiaoge said.

"Hmm?" Gu Yanzhi's expression shifted slightly as he said, "Are you kidding? I know your strength. Even with unique traits at the same level, it's hard to say whether I can beat you. So how could Ye Qing have a chance to defeat you despite being at a higher level?"

“Yes!” Gu Xiaoge nodded and said, “I even suspect that when he reaches the peak of the Domain Lord level, he will be able to unleash attacks comparable to those of a Venerable.”

Gu Yanzhi shook his head and said, "That's still unlikely."

At this point, Gu Yanzhi suddenly spoke up, "Xiaoge, what do you think we should choose?"

"What do you mean, how do I choose?" Gu Xiaoge asked.

“Qi is coming back soon, and he should be back in the Heavenly Court within the next few years,” Gu Yanzhi said. “We can remain uninvolved now because his true form is not in the Heavenly Court, but once he returns, we will have no choice but to make a decision!”

“This…” Gu Xiaoge shook her head and said, “I don’t know! Do you think we should choose between the Heavenly Court and the Chaotic Star Sea?”

"No!" Gu Yanzhi said, "Choose between the Heavenly Court and Ye Qing, child. You have already reached the Venerable level, and it is time for you to learn about some of the secrets of this world!"

Gu Yanzhi sighed and said, "You may have heard about this from what you've seen and heard. There are extraterrestrial civilizations outside our universe. Over the years, Qi has been searching for their existence. So he has been constantly exploring the universe. He spends most of his time wandering in the dark universe, looking for the point where we meet them. Do you know about the collapse of the Chaotic Star Sea?"

Gu Xiaoge nodded and said, "I've heard of it."

"You heard that someone in the Chaotic Star Sea tried to break through the Great Emperor's shackles and was punished by Heaven! The Chaotic Star Sea collapsed, right?" Gu Yanzhi asked.

"Mm!" Gu Xiaoge nodded.

"No, that's just what the Heavenly Court wants the world to know," Gu Yanzhi said. "Back then, an earth-shattering war broke out in the Chaotic Star Sea. Almost all the powerful beings in our universe participated in it, and in the end, almost all of them perished."

Gu Xiaoge's expression suddenly changed!

"That's why Qi later managed to unite some people and create the Heavenly Court amidst the chaos of the world," Gu Yanzhi said.

"What does this have to do with choosing Ye Qing and Qi?" Gu Xiaoge asked.

“They will eventually become adversaries!” Gu Yanzhi said. “The Outer Gods will eventually attack again. Based on my understanding of Qi over the years, Qi is a surrenderist! If Ye Qing defeats Qi, given his personality—he dares to oppose the Heavenly Court even at the Domain Lord or Transcendent realms—it means that Ye Qing will definitely choose to fight to the death!”

Gu Xiaoge's expression shifted, and he said, "So you mean, our real choice at that time is whether to fight or not?"

Gu Yanzhi nodded and said, "That's exactly right!"

“Now, under the dominance of the Heavenly Court, the world is dominated by the path of awakening, and very few people choose the path of martial arts. In addition, due to the suppression by the Heavenly Court, the number of Emperor-level experts is extremely scarce!” Gu Yanzhi said with a sigh.

Gu Xiaoge said, "I'm not qualified to make a choice about such a big matter. Grandpa just needs to choose the path that he thinks is best for our Ziwei civilization!"

"Oh, right!" Gu Xiaoge said, "Grandpa, didn't you say that your master had returned?"

“Yes, he’s in the Chaotic Star Sea!” Gu Yanzhi said, raising his eyes to gaze at the endless deep space, seemingly lost in thought.

……

Meanwhile, deep within the Taixi Ancient Mine lies a strange mountain range, an area that even Great Emperors cannot traverse!

With the end of the rockfall period, a large number of strange beasts have reappeared in the Taixi Mountains.

Between these two towering peaks lies an extremely narrow crevice!

It looked as if a figure had cleaved a gap in this massive mountain with a single sword strike!

At this moment, a group of people were struggling to move forward through this gap.

Yi Shuihan followed among the crowd, gripping the knife tightly in his hand, his eyes filled with tension and anticipation.

As he walked, he said nervously, "Old Yang, is the rockfall period over? Are we really okay?"

"Don't worry, we're just waiting for this rockfall period to end!" the person in front of Yi Shuihan reassured him. "As long as we can find it, we'll definitely make a fortune this time! All of us will have the chance to become Venerables, Saints, or even Great Emperors!"
