Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1003 Sword Ancestor

No one noticed that Ye Qing's eyes gradually turned pure white at this moment. He looked up at the words, and at this moment, the words seemed to come alive in Ye Qing's eyes!

"Buzz!"

Just then, a buzzing sound rang in Ye Qing's ears. With the appearance of this sound, Ye Qing felt as if the words in front of him had come to life.

"What is this?" Ye Qing frowned slightly.

Just then, Ye Qing discovered that his true energy seemed to be flowing uncontrollably toward the stone tablet.

At the same time, within his body, his unique Bronze Ancient Tree began to tremble violently.

In the instant that the ancient bronze tree trembled.

"what!"

A soft "hmm" sounded in Ye Qing's ear, and at the same time, a strange suction force swept over his entire body. At this moment, Ye Qing felt as if his soul was being drawn out by this energy, and his consciousness suddenly went black!

The whole process didn't last too long. The next moment, Ye Qing felt as if he were in the boundless starry sky, above which an ancient longsword was suspended!

This long sword seems to be the center of the universe.

Ye Qing even had a feeling that this longsword was the heart of this world.

"Where the hell is this?" Ye Qing was completely bewildered. His scalp was about to explode. He was clearly in front of the stone tablet, so how did he suddenly end up here?

Just as Ye Qing hesitated, he saw the ancient longsword in front of him suddenly emit a hazy light.

These rays of light gradually formed a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in palace attire with white hair, looking like a character straight out of an anime!

Even though Ye Qing has seen countless beautiful women, the moment he saw the woman in front of him, he was still moved!

Her unparalleled elegance and domineering aura made any man want to conquer her.

"The Chaos Dao Tree?" Just then, the other party looked Ye Qing up and down and spoke.

"What is this thing? Who are you? Where is this place?" Ye Qing asked.

"You know nothing?" The woman sized up Ye Qing.

Ye Qing's brows were deeply furrowed, and his face showed a blank expression.

"Interesting!" the woman asked. "You woke me up, and then you know nothing? You don't even know your own characteristics?"

"Special characteristic?" Ye Qing looked at the woman in front of him and asked, "You mean that Chaos Dao Tree, is it my special characteristic?"

"It seems you really don't know anything!" the woman sighed.

the first time!

Ye Qing finally learned about his own unique ability for the first time. He knew that his unique ability was the Bronze Ancient Tree in the Inner Ocean, but he didn't know what it was.

The Chaos Dao Tree—that's a pretty impressive name.

He sensed that the woman before him seemed to have no hostility. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior, could you please enlighten me? What exactly is this Chaos Dao Tree? And what is this place? I was clearly studying the stone tablet, so why am I here?"

"Understanding the stone tablet?" the woman asked. "The Soul-Suppressing Tablet? You want to obtain the Seven Secrets of the Universe?"

Ye Qing said, "After all, it is a supreme secret, and I definitely want to obtain it."

The woman shook her head and said, "You have obtained it, but you cannot control it. Even if you obtain it now, it will only lead you to destruction. So it has no meaning for you."

"As for what the Chaos Dao Tree is!" the woman said, "It is an ancient bronze tree that was born in the chaos at the beginning of the world. This ancient tree has countless characteristics that are scattered throughout the world, forming various energies in the world."

“And your unique characteristic is this Chaos Dao Tree!” the woman said. “The Chaos Dao Tree, as a unique characteristic, produces seven flowers, representing seven unique characteristics, and these seven characteristics are random.”

Ye Qing's heart stirred slightly as he asked, "How does the Chaos Dao Tree compare in terms of its uniqueness?"

The woman looked Ye Qing up and down and asked, "What do you think?"

“I don’t think it’s under the unique characteristic!” Ye Qing said.

“That’s natural!” the woman said. “Theoretically speaking, if you’re lucky, your seven flowers might even produce a unique trait. Of course, that’s very difficult.”

Ye Qing was overjoyed, his eyes filled with boundless excitement.

Is it possible for it to produce flowers that represent uniqueness?

Ye Qing now possesses six characteristics, three of which are rare.

What if the last flower actually produces a unique characteristic? That would be too outrageous!

Although he felt in his heart that it was highly unlikely, after all, he was already terrifying enough, and if he had another unique characteristic, it would be too unbalanced.

"Then this place is..." Ye Qing asked.

"This is my inner world!" the woman said calmly.

"A world within a vessel?" Ye Qing asked with a puzzled look, "What is a world within a vessel!"

"Do you know about the divine artifact?" the woman asked.

"Yes!" Ye Qing nodded.

“Every divine artifact possesses its own inner world,” the woman said. “I am the sword spirit of this divine artifact! You may call me… the Sword Ancestor!”

"The Sword Ancestor?" Ye Qing's pupils contracted. "The Ancestor of the Sword Dao?"

“That’s right!” the woman said. “My true form is within this stone tablet, suppressing death! When you comprehend the stone tablet and use its properties, the Chaos Dao Tree within you sensed my presence and awakened me! Then I pulled your soul into my artifact world.”

"Uh!" Ye Qing asked thoughtfully, "What does 'suppressing death' mean?"

"Beneath this region lies an extremely powerful emperor, possessing the characteristic of death. He was suppressed here in the past." A trace of regret appeared on the Sword Ancestor's exquisite face as he said, "When the Heavenly Court attacked, in order to suppress death, I had no choice but to suppress it here. The Heavenly Court took advantage of this, and the Spirit Realm... ultimately met such an end!"

"Ah!" Ye Qing was utterly shocked upon hearing these words!

Sword Ancestor sized up Ye Qing and said, "There was no other way. If death were to leave from this place, it would be a huge blow to the entire universe. That's why he made that choice back then. As for those few people..."

At this point, the Sword Ancestor shook his head and said, "Let me ask you, if one day in the future you are able to reach the Great Emperor realm, are you willing to shoulder the responsibility of eradicating death for the sake of the universe?"

Ye Qing gave a wry smile and said, "That's too far off. To be honest, I come from a low-level civilization. The current Heavenly Court has a very firm grasp on the entire universe. They created the Genius Battle..."

Ye Qing briefly told the woman in front of him about the news that the Heavenly Court had wiped out a genius of the universe and was hunting him down.

The Sword Ancestor shook his head and said, "Those people, they'll be like that their whole lives, ultimately unable to break free from their limitations..."

"If you are willing, when you reach the Great Emperor level, you can return to this place. I can become the sword in your hand, to slay death, suppress all living beings, and destroy the Heavenly Court!" said the Sword Ancestor.

Ye Qing raised his eyes and looked at the Sword Ancestor in front of him.

"Since you've come this far, then... I'll grant you a smooth path!" As the Sword Ancestor spoke, her mouth slowly opened, and wisps of energy gradually emerged.

Sword Ancestor paused for a moment, then pointed with her right hand, and in an instant, these auras quickly condensed into a bead.

"Buzz!"

With the Sword Ancestor's finger pointing, the bead instantly appeared between Ye Qing's eyebrows!

But Ye Qing felt nothing at all; he even felt that he had gained nothing.

"What is this?" Ye Qing asked.

"You should leave this place. As for what this thing is!" The Sword Ancestor's figure gradually became ethereal, and she slowly disappeared from the spot. At the same time, her ethereal voice echoed, "You will know on your future path of cultivation!"

Immediately afterward, another voice rang out: "The inscriptions on the stone tablet outside only record some circumstances of suppressing death. We can't figure it out. If you are willing to come here in the future to suppress death, I will give you the Seven Secret Techniques!"

As the words fell, Ye Qing's vision went slightly dark again!
