Standing atop Jade Emperor Peak, Ye Fan felt as if he had been elevated, as if he were at the pinnacle of the world.
If Mount Tai is like this, then how magnificent must Mount Kunlun be, which is as famous as Mount Tai and even surpasses it?
For some reason, Ye Fan suddenly remembered a few words that Uncle Yun had said to him before.
Uncle Yun's speech was cryptic and strange, which Ye Fan couldn't understand before and could only keep in mind. However, at this moment, he seemed to have grasped a few of the meanings.
“There’s no hope for Kunlun.” Zhou Yi sighed from the side. “That’s where most Quasi-Emperors and Supremes are buried. It’s protected so tightly by the Great Emperor’s array patterns that it’s impossible to set foot there.”
The fact that the Emperor Wandi was buried on this star is not a secret on Earth.
And Kunlun is the most popular place.
It is known as the land of ten thousand immortals and the place where ten thousand gods reside.
The meaning of these two titles in ancient times is no longer of concern to anyone. In modern terms, Kunlun is the land where all immortals slumber and the resting place of all gods.
The so-called immortals and gods are all expressions of hope for a better future.
Just as the group was silently experiencing their state of mind at the Jade Emperor Peak.
In the cold and desolate universe, the stars dot the sky, illuminating the boundless darkness and making it seem less lonely.
Outside Earth, inside various International Space Stations.
As is customary, astronauts from different countries were making various records and collecting data.
This was supposed to be an ordinary day—
The space station then captured a scene that astonished them: nine black dragons flying toward the ancient star at an incomprehensible speed.
After the initial shock, disbelief immediately appeared on everyone's faces.
Its majestic and imposing body, seemingly cast from black gold, still inspires awe even in the absence of life.
Behind them, bound by chains, was an ancient and weathered bronze coffin, exuding a mysterious and enigmatic aura, accompanied by a faint glow.
This is the vehicle that a certain Heavenly Emperor and Empress specially prepared for Emperor Ye, and now it's time to pick him up.
The few people who were truly appreciating the scenery of Mount Tai suddenly felt the wind and thunder howling in the sky, as if something was breaking through the clouds.
They looked up and suddenly several black dots appeared overhead. The black dots grew larger and larger, and the sounds of wind and thunder arose, like the roar of dragons and the howl of tigers.
All the tourists on Jade Emperor Peak noticed the strange change in the sky and stared intently upwards.
"What is it?" Ye Fan felt a sense of unease. Could something strange happen while climbing Mount Tai?
Nine enormous creatures descended from the sky, like nine black silver rivers falling. As they got a little closer, everyone could see clearly what they were.
Dragons! Nine black dragons!
Nine dragon corpses, pulling an ancient bronze coffin, descended from the sky, passed through the branches of the Jianmu tree, and tried to land on the Jade Emperor Peak.
"What is this? Is it something used to welcome ancient emperors when they came here to perform the Fengshan ceremony?" Pang Bo shouted. The sight of nine dragons pulling a coffin was quite shocking, even for someone of his background.
This is a dragon! It is said that there have only been two dragons in the entire universe since ancient times: one is the Dragon Emperor of the mythological era, and the other is the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing of the ancient era.
As the Realm of the Void Gods prospered, some things were no longer secrets and began to circulate.
But now, there are nine of them here!
"Your Holy Emperor will be received in a coffin?!" Zhou Yi said with a laugh. What kind of person would be received in a coffin?
"Damn it, why aren't you running? We can't unleash our full power at Jade Emperor Peak!"
Wang Ziwen exclaimed and then ran around in all directions.
His words reminded everyone that, indeed, they couldn't unleash the power of their cultivation right now.
The top of Mount Tai erupted in cheers as everyone screamed and scattered.
They didn't think they would survive if they were hit by these nine dragons.
Mysterious patterns also appeared on the entire Mount Tai, which began to glow and form an array. The power of many blessed lands and grottoes was also drawn out in an attempt to block the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and prevent it from falling.
The cultivators in the blessed land were also shocked to see the nine dragons pulling the coffin outside. What was this?
When ancient emperors performed the Fengshan ceremony, their sects had ancestors present, and these ancestors are still active in the world today, yet they never mentioned that such a thing would descend at that time!
"The senior members of the sect have all gone to listen to the Heavenly Emperor's sermon and cannot be contacted. Otherwise, they might have been able to see through the true nature of this Nine Dragon Coffin!"
There was much discussion and speculation within the blessed land, with various guesses made about the origins of the nine dragons pulling the coffin.
Mount Tai's layout did not exclude the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin; all the array patterns seemed to be on a different dimension from the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, making them completely untouchable.
"Boom!" Finally, the nine dragons pulled the coffin down to the top of Mount Tai, and Mount Tai seemed to tremble.
However, although it couldn't stop the nine dragons from pulling the coffin, the top of Mount Tai remained unscathed without any cracks, after all, it is a sacred mountain.
Nine dragon corpses lay scattered about, and the ancient bronze coffin lay silently on the ground.
The nine dragons pulled the coffin down to the top of Mount Tai, and a series of changes occurred, making Ye Fan and his companions somewhat fearful.
"Let's go down the mountain first," Ye Fan shouted to his classmates, wanting to leave the area.
One of the Heavenly Emperors, who was drinking tea, raised an eyebrow. Descending the mountain? You think you can escape now that you're on my ship? Here you go!
The Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin emitted a radiant light that enveloped Ye Fan and his group. Then, the bronze coffin opened a corner and precisely sucked Ye Fan and the others into it.
Then, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin trembled violently, the void twisted, and under the watchful eyes of all the powerful beings on Earth, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin blurred for a moment and then disappeared directly from the top of Mount Tai!
The Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin for Ye Fan is like Yao Lao's ring for Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan: Why are you always talking about me?
There's no time to explain, get on the bus!
The Kowloon Space Train has officially departed! Ye Fan embarked on a journey of destiny, and from that moment on, his life would never be the same again.
Chapter 263 Unlucky Passengers
"We've been sucked into a coffin!" someone exclaimed in a panic, uttering a pointless statement.
"I don't want to die!" a girl screamed, unable to accept the fact that climbing Mount Tai had led to her ending up in a coffin.
"We are enjoying the same treatment as the Holy Emperor today."
"So, does that mean I, Pang Bo, am roughly equivalent to the ancient sage emperors?"
Pang Bo muttered to himself, leaving those around him speechless. He really had a big heart.
Why do you keep thinking about the ancient sages and emperors?
Ye Fan nudged Zhou Yi, then glanced at everyone, and Zhou Yi instantly understood what Ye Fan meant.
"Quiet!".
He stepped forward, channeled his divine power, and shouted loudly, directly suppressing all other sounds.
After entering the bronze coffin, everyone with cultivation level recovered, and it seemed that they had already left the Mount Tai area.
"Panic won't help," Ye Fan said calmly. He had panicked a bit when the Nine Dragons Coffin first fell, but now that he was inside the coffin, he had calmed down.
"I want to leave here, I want to go home." A girl broke down in tears. Ye Fan glanced at her and remembered this classmate.
Ye Fan has discovered that all the people who were sucked into the ancient coffin were those who participated in this class reunion.
It's very strange, there were clearly other people on the summit of Mount Tai at that time.
“Going home is not an option right now,” Ye Fan shattered his illusions. “However, you can go to the Void God Realm and tell your parents.”
The space inside the coffin fell silent for a moment, as everyone was awakened by Ye Fan's words.
That's right! We also have the Realm of the Gods!
What's a few dragons and a coffin? The Realm of the Void Gods was created by the Heavenly Emperor!
"Ye Zi, you're quite calm," Pang Bo praised. "You're quite different now compared to when we were having dinner last night; you're more like you were back in school."
"What can I do if I don't stay calm?" Ye Fan smiled nonchalantly, very carefree. "Uncle Yun taught me that when faced with a problem, panic is the biggest force that pushes things to a worse state."
"You should also go to the Realm of the Void Gods and see if you can find any information about this mysterious thing."
After Ye Fan finished speaking, he prepared to log in, but unexpectedly, they were restricted from logging into the Void God Realm.
"Oh no! What do we do? We can't log in, we're doomed!" Several girls started crying again, clearly terrified.
"Ahem! Hello, unlucky passengers! Welcome aboard the Kowloon Coffin Train. You have departed from Taishan Station on the Ancient Star of the Primordial Era. The next stop is Daleiyin Temple Station on the Ancient Star of Firefly. Passengers who wish to disembark, please prepare to disembark in an orderly manner. The final stop of the train is the Southern Wilderness Region of the Eastern Wilderness in the Beidou Area of the Central Continent, the Ancient Forbidden Zone Station."
Just as everyone was still in a panic and didn't know what to do, a male voice with a standard broadcasting tone rang out from inside the coffin, immediately calming everyone down.
"Wow, we're fine. This is just a space bus. I knew it! With the Heavenly Emperor ruling now, where would any unknown danger come from?" Pang Bo was thick-skinned and thought that the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin was just an ordinary spaceship with a peculiar appearance.
"Nonsense, if this were a normal spaceship, I would have eaten those nine dragons alive." Zhou Yi naturally knew that something was wrong with this nine-dragon coffin.
"Don't you guys feel that this voice is somewhat familiar, but you just can't quite place it?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled as to why the voice seemed familiar to him.
"I don't think this voice sounds familiar, but did you notice that the next stop for this Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is Firefly Ancient Star? Isn't that Mars? There's a Great Thunder Temple there?"
"The final destination is the Central Continent, which is the world of cultivators and the center of the universe. However, the Desolate Forbidden Zone is so dangerous. Can we get out safely?"
"Anyway, we're at the foot of the Great Thunder Temple. We'll have the space agency come to rescue us then," someone said with a wild idea.
"Nonsense, would they really launch a starship just to pick us up? And what would we eat on Mars?"
"No matter what, let's go to the Great Thunder Temple. Maybe we can meet the Buddha and then we'll be saved."
"Unfortunate passengers, the next stop is Yinghuoguxing Daleiyin Temple Station. Passengers who need to get off, please prepare yourselves, take your belongings, and disembark in an orderly manner."
The announcement came on again, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, naturally discovering another mysterious and strange bronze coffin.
At this moment, not only did the sound of a broadcaster's voice emanate from the coffin, but the ancient coffin also emitted a faint glow.
However, in this dark environment, the light not only failed to dispel the gloom in everyone's hearts, but also deepened their fear.
"Goodness, could there be a ghost in the coffin?" Pang Bo's carefree joke caused many people nearby to burst into tears again.
Fortunately, the sounds coming from the small bronze coffin soon stopped.
"Don't overthink it, everyone. It's probably just a recording left by a cultivator inside the small coffin. Don't worry." Zhou Yi remained calm and composed, which reassured the students.
Of course, although no one said it, their actions betrayed their true intentions, and they moved away from the small bronze coffin in the center.
Only a few people, such as Ye Fan and Pang Bo, stepped forward, but they did not dare to get too close or touch it casually.
"Boom!" Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the bronze coffin seemed to have crashed into something hard, and the lid was blown off.
Without the slightest hesitation, the group filed out toward the faint light coming from the outside. Unfortunately, what greeted them was not the summit of Mount Tai and the friendly faces of the rescuers, but a desolate and vast land.
Panic and fear gripped the crowd as they discovered the inscription...
The ancient stele bearing the characters "荧惑" (Yínghuò) and the starry sky above, distinctly different from that of Earth, marked the peak of the journey.
"Wow, it really is Mars! Goodbye, Mom, even though I'm going home tonight."
"By the way, quickly try to log into the Void God Realm." Ye Fan's size prompted everyone to try logging into the Void God Realm. This time, they successfully logged in, but their relatives and friends told them not to worry, as the Heavenly Emperor had said there would be no danger.
They were told to focus on their cultivation in the Central Continent and not to worry about them. In fact, they all knew that it was a test given to them by the Heavenly Emperor, who would take a few of them as disciples, so they were not worried.
Upon exiting the Void God Realm, everyone was on the verge of tears. Just then, Ye Fan suddenly spoke up, "I remember whose voice that was. It was Counselor Yun's."
"Hey, it seems so. Could it be that Instructor Yun is some kind of powerful cultivator?" Everyone began to speculate about Yun Hua's identity, but Ye Fan seemed to have figured something out and realized the truth.
On the vast, boundless land, only a faint light stubbornly shines not far ahead.
"Look!" At the same time, at the shouts of several classmates, everyone turned around and looked behind them, and they could vaguely see lush greenery and rolling hills.
"It's a sign of life!" Although what they saw was very different from what the scientists had described about Mars, no one cared anymore.
Chapter 264 The Acting Master Crocodile Ancestor
As for the faint light not far ahead, compared to the source of life behind them, everyone naturally chose the latter.
The group arrived at their destination, and a calming Buddhist atmosphere enveloped them. A magnificent ancient temple, though slightly dilapidated, stood not far away.
Before the ancient temple stood a withered Bodhi tree. Zhou Yi, Ye Fan, and the others stepped forward and deciphered the inscription on the bronze plaque: "Great Thunderclap Temple." After a moment of complete silence, shock and commotion erupted.
"It really is the Great Thunderclap Temple!?"
"We've already witnessed nine dragons pulling a coffin, interstellar travel, and Martian life. Now we've even seen the Great Thunder Temple. It seems we really are headed for the Central Continent!"
Without the slightest hesitation, everyone rushed into the ancient temple, and Ye Fan was no exception.
In the center of the desolate and boundless land of Yinghuo, a slightly dilapidated ancient temple stands. Although the merging of the two realms has given some desolate ancient stars a new lease on life, it is still too short a time to reach the former glory.
In front of that ancient temple stood a vigorous Bodhi tree, as gnarled as a dragon, on the verge of death, with only a few scattered green leaves swaying in the breeze.
