Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1027 Above the Mountain Top

Just as everyone was improving, just as the battle of geniuses was about to end!

On that mountain peak, Ye Qing continued walking forward step by step.

For him, this year and a half felt like an eternity.

He felt utterly exhausted. He even felt like he had forgotten who he was and was just relying on his instincts to keep climbing the steps up the mountain!

At this point, he could already see the mountain peak.

In fact, he could already see the summit six months ago, but even so, after walking for more than half a year, there are still three steps left.

At this moment, under the circumstances of natural cultivation, and even without his knowledge, Ye Qing's realm had already reached the mid-stage of Immortal.

With each step he takes upwards, the energy flowing towards him from heaven and earth increases.

However, these three steps ahead were like an insurmountable chasm for him.

"Just three more steps!" Ye Qing took a deep breath and then started taking another step, one after another!

After taking two steps, Ye Qing felt a sense of clarity throughout his body.

The weariness in my heart seemed to have lessened somewhat.

He took another step and reached the top of the mountain.

The stone slope has a certain curve, and you should also take this final step when you cross it.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from ahead.

At this moment, atop the mountain, the sun rises in the east, casting its rays down upon the peaks.

A breathtaking scene unfolded before Ye Qing, and the majestic wind blowing against him instantly swept away the fatigue he had accumulated from the climb.

Ye Qing didn't rush to look at the scenery at the top of the mountain. Instead, he turned his head and looked down at the foot of the mountain.

Below the mountain, there was a layer of clouds, like a fairyland. Although separated by the clouds, Ye Qing felt that he could see the Heavenly Court members gathering below the mountain.

He could see that Cao Luo was walking towards the foot of the mountain with a look of disappointment and despair on his face!

He could see Lin Qianyu sitting cross-legged on the steps, waiting for him while also making the most of her time to cultivate.

He saw Yun Jin standing in front of the waterfall ahead of the mountain stream, staring at the character "仙" (immortal) in a daze.

He saw Gu Qingcheng standing in front of a cliff, her clothes fluttering like a celestial maiden, looking down at the foot of the mountain, seemingly lost in thought!

"I once stood atop Mount Mang!" Ye Qing murmured, "But... I've never felt this way before. During this climb, my state of mind has undergone so many changes without me even realizing it!"

Yes, at this moment, he felt much more at peace, as if his mind was calm and still.

Ye Qing stood there, the wind blowing, for two or three hours before a smile appeared on his lips. He said, "This path is a kind of tempering of the mind. The reason why others cannot continue is perhaps... also a change in their mindset. If they persevere, given enough time, they may also be able to reach the summit of this sacred mountain."

“You’re right!” Just then, a faint female voice rang in Ye Qing’s ear.

Ye Qing's heart stirred, and at that moment, he turned to look at the mountaintop.

The moment he turned around, he froze. The mountaintop was a large flat area with many flowerbeds.

Flowers of all colors are blooming in the flowerbed.

Beside the flowerbed, there was a thatched hut. The hut looked very dilapidated, as if it had existed there since time immemorial!

In the distance from the thatched cottage, there is a tree. It is not very big, but at first glance, it gives people a sense of tranquility and peace.

There are nine fruits on this tree. These nine fruits are red and look somewhat similar to the Bodhi fruit in Ye Qing's hand. However, even though they are far apart, Ye Qing can still feel the terrifying energy within them.

"A Bodhi tree?" Ye Qing murmured.

The Bodhi tree is located on another cliff, and there are two chairs under the Bodhi tree.

Two figures, a man and a woman, were sitting on two chairs.

They had their backs to Ye Qing, so Ye Qing couldn't see their faces!

However, when Ye Qing looked closely, he discovered that the two figures were just illusions.

"Little one!" the woman's voice rang out again, "Good mind, good talent. Reach the summit, under the Bodhi tree, there are some small things you can take with you. You can also pick the fruit from the Bodhi tree. I wish you a smooth journey on your martial arts path!"

"Senior is..." Ye Qing asked.

"If you reach the pinnacle of martial arts, perhaps we will meet again!" As the voice fell, the two illusory figures became even more ethereal, and Ye Qing didn't even have time to see their faces clearly.

It disappeared in no time!

Ye Qing stared blankly at the scene, muttering, "Is this what it's like at the top of the Holy Mountain?"

"According to them, experts at the Great Emperor level should be able to come to the Holy Mountain at will. Have they never been to the top of the Holy Mountain before?" Ye Qing frowned.

He walked forward, but he found that there was an energy barrier around the flowerbed that blocked him from entering.

Ye Qing had no choice but to go around it. Before long, he arrived in front of the thatched hut. The hut wasn't very big, and the furnishings inside looked quite ordinary. It seemed that someone had lived there, but Ye Qing searched around and didn't find anything useful.

Finally, he walked toward the Bodhi tree, and he swallowed hard!

In terms of quality, the Bodhi fruit in front of him is absolutely top-grade, far superior to the one in his hand!

There are nine Bodhi fruits in total. For Ye Qing, these nine Bodhi fruits will be of great use after he leaves this Spirit Realm.

Of course, he didn't rush to pick them, but instead looked towards the Bodhi tree!

Under this Bodhi tree, there is a chessboard, and on either side are two stone benches.

The chessboard was like a table, with some things placed on it.

An ancient book, a simple and black ruler, and a jade box.

Besides, under the Bodhi tree in front, there was a strange stone slab with many characters that Ye Qing did not recognize.
