Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1338 The Rockfall Period

The big yellow dog looked at the Great Sage Yongle and said, "What do I know? All I know is that in the ancient times, those people without unique characteristics could still become Great Emperors. And even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you that you are now a dog of the Primordial Era, and even if you break through to become a Great Emperor, you will still be a dog of the Heavenly Court!"

The Great Sage Yongle looked at the big yellow dog speechlessly and said, "Sometimes I'm very strict with my words, but sometimes I'm not so strict. If the Heavenly Court knew you were here, and the period of falling rocks has arrived, do you think they wouldn't send a few Great Sages to find you?"

"Trying to trick me?" The big yellow dog looked at Yongle Dasheng with a half-smile and said, "To be honest, since I came here and took the initiative to see you, I have never been afraid of being tricked by you."

“I was not marked, and you know about my friendship with Tian Ge and Xie Bi’an!” said Yongle Dasheng.

"Actually, it wouldn't hurt to tell you!" the big yellow dog said. "Xie Bi'an already knew the method for breaking through, but he still couldn't find it. This thing also depends on opportunity and one's own slave!"

"The key to breaking through to the Great Emperor realm is uniqueness!" the big yellow dog said. "Find the uniqueness that you can control."

"Those unique characteristics are because only they possess them in the universe, which is why they are qualified to break through to the level of Emperor, and the same goes for authority!" the big yellow dog said. "What you need to do is find your own unique, unrepeatable one! When it resonates with you, you can... touch the Dao of Heaven."

"Unique?" The Great Sage Yongle paused for a moment and said, "Whether it's authority or unique characteristics, they are all unique. Are you going to search for my uniqueness?"

With a smile on his face, Yongle Dasheng spoke as if to himself.

It was only at this moment that Ye Qing noticed that there was something wrong with this Yongle Great Sage.

Ye Qing originally thought that was just his personality, so he was always cheerful.

But when he was thinking about a problem, a smile still lingered on his lips. It seemed involuntary and unnatural, as if he couldn't change it at all!

After a long while, the Great Sage Yongle said, "It is indeed difficult, but this can be considered a path. Since you came here for the Falling Stones period, you should not gamble in Yongle City for the next period of time. Keep a low profile, otherwise, if your identities are exposed, I will not be able to protect you!"

"The rockfall period?" Ye Qing asked with a puzzled expression, "What do you mean?"

"You don't know?" Yongle Dasheng looked at Ye Qing suspiciously and said, "You trust this treacherous old dog quite a bit. You'd better be careful, or you might get betrayed by him at any time!"

"The old dog brought you to the Taiyun Star System for the most likely reason that he wants you to use the treasures produced in the Star Pattern Stones to break through to the Venerable level!" said the Great Sage Yongle. "And the real treasures in the Taiyun Star System, the Star Pattern Stones that can produce good treasures, are all in this Taixi Ancient Mine."

"The Taixi Ancient Mine is a forbidden zone in the universe. The entire Taixi Ancient Mine is the Daoist temple of the Taixi Lord. Even a Great Emperor would face great danger entering it," said the Great Sage Yongle. "However, the Taixi Ancient Mine experiences a rockfall period every now and then. During this rockfall period, the Taixi Ancient Mine is relatively safer, as a large number of star-patterned stones will fall from it!"

"At this time, everyone will rush in to compete and scramble for it!" said the Great Sage Yongle. "The star-patterned stones in the Taixi Ancient Mine, once brought out, can be sold for a very good price, and many people will also rush in to gamble!"

"And during this time, we can also delve deeper into the Taixi Ancient Mine to some extent!" said the Great Sage Yongle. "During the period of falling rocks, all the major forces will send people over. For example, the cloud wing you saw was sent by the Great Emperor Taichu. During this time, it is estimated that people from all the ninth-level civilizations and the major forces of the Heavenly Court will come over!"

"Although I don't restrict anyone from entering the Taixi Ancient Mine, the Heavenly Court doesn't allow ordinary people to enter. Even so, the Taixi Ancient Mine is vast, with many entrances. Although it's relatively dangerous, countless people from all over the universe still enter to vie for the Star Pattern Stones," said the Great Sage Yongle. "Obtaining a few Star Pattern Stones from the Taixi Ancient Mine would be considered a fortune for a Domain Lord-level expert!"

"If we find something of grade seven or eight, we'll become rich overnight!" said the Great Sage Yongle.

"Are there any conditions for entering during the rockfall period?" Ye Qing asked.

“Of course!” Great Sage Yongle nodded and said, “The lower the strength, the lower the danger of entering the Taixi Ancient Mine during the Falling Rocks period! Those above the Venerable level who enter the Taichu Ancient Mine will almost certainly suffer a backlash, so generally speaking, those below the Venerable level who enter the Taixi Ancient Mine during the Falling Rocks period are those who enter the Taixi Ancient Mine.”

"Those who are too weak to enter will face great risks, even though the Taixi Ancient Mine will not kill them. They will be facing Domain Lords and Immortals. So, generally speaking, the main force consists of people at the Immortal and Domain Lord levels!"

“You’ve participated in the Genius Battle!” Great Sage Yongle said, “If nothing unexpected happens, you’ll encounter many acquaintances during this period of falling rocks, as well as the holy sons and daughters of various level nine civilizations. They are all top-tier combat power at their respective levels. Although you’ve reached the Domain Lord level, you’d better not reveal your identity. Once you do, you won’t have much of an advantage against these people!”

"Hehe!" At this moment, the big yellow dog chuckled twice.

"What are you laughing at?" asked the Great Sage Yongle.

"I've thought of something happy!" said the big yellow dog.

The Great Sage Yongle looked at him with a puzzled expression, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, you may leave! I just had some insights and want to think about some things carefully!"

"Let's go!" said the big yellow dog.

Ye Qing and Chen Xuan bid farewell to Yongle Dasheng. He did not continue gambling on stones, but returned to their room together.

"Hahaha!" The big yellow dog couldn't help but laugh as soon as he got back to the room.

"What the hell is going on with you? And what's with this rockfall period?" Ye Qing asked.

The big yellow dog chuckled arrogantly, "This is also an accident. I brought you here precisely to enter the Taixi Ancient Mine during the Falling Rocks period. I just didn't expect it to be so early. The Taixi Ancient Mine only experiences a Falling Rocks period once every few decades, and I don't even know the exact time!"

In the distance, Lin Qianyu and Ling Yingxue also came to greet them!

"Then what are you laughing at?" Ye Qing asked.

"Once the rockfall season arrives and we enter the Taixi Ancient Mine, I will show you what it means to deliver a devastating blow!" The big yellow dog squinted, looking down on the world with an air of arrogance.

"That's not right!" Ye Qing said, "Didn't the Great Sage Yongle just say that no one above the Venerable level can enter? You should have recovered to the Venerable level by now!"
