Chapter 1 Transmigrating Through the Heavens, External Equipment Slot
"He Lang, are you alright?"
"He must have bumped into the bronze coffin when he ran in, which is why he passed out."
Cold! Shaking! And the indistinct words that kept ringing in his ears were extremely bothersome to He Lang.
Who's so immoral! Don't they know how annoying it is to be nagged while sleeping?
No! I live alone, so where did the voices come from?
In a daze, He Lang felt a cold touch coming from below, causing him to suddenly roll over and sit up, opening his eyes to look around.
The dimly lit space around him, and the figures surrounding him, made He Lang break out in a cold sweat.
The familiar bedroom was nowhere to be found. How could he have ended up in a place like this? He Lang was completely baffled.
"He Lang, you're finally awake! You gave us quite a scare. Are you alright?"
Upon seeing him wake up, a handsome young man with a resolute face visibly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as he spoke to He Lang.
Beside the young man stood a burly man as tall as an iron tower.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo.
Upon seeing the two men, the names of these two young men naturally came to mind.
"Ye Fan, I'm alright now. Thank you all for taking care of me... Ouch!"
Before he could even express his surprise at who Ye Fan and Pang Bo were, He Lang instinctively replied with a question.
Before he could finish speaking, He Lang felt a burning sensation in his head, followed by waves of memories surfacing from the depths of his mind.
Class reunion, Mount Tai tour, nine dragons pulling a coffin from the sky, five-colored altar, Martian creatures...
Fragments of memories surfaced in his mind, which he quickly processed, making him understand his situation.
"I actually transmigrated into the world of Shrouding the Heavens and became Ye Fan and Pang Bo's classmate! If I hadn't bumped into the bronze coffin, I probably wouldn't have been able to awaken my true self for a long time."
After processing the memories, He Lang was shocked. He never expected that he would transmigrate into the world of the novel "Covering the Sky" and become a character in it after just taking a nap.
However, since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. Compared to the ordinary urban life before I transmigrated, the world of Shrouding the Heavens, though dangerous and terrifying, also means there's a chance to become extraordinary and saintly.
He's lucky to have the chance to live forever and be immortal! As for danger, what isn't dangerous?
Even if things don't go well, he still has the identity of being classmates with Ye Fan and Pang Bo. Even if he has to rely on Ye Fan's coattails, he can still become a Great Sage.
With his previous memories, He Lang understood the current situation. These people had already arrived at the Great Thunderclap Temple and taken away the Buddhist artifacts and Bodhi seeds from it.
He Lang was very regretful about this. It was a pity that he woke up a little late. Otherwise, he would have gotten a Buddhist artifact to protect himself. If he remembered correctly, a small divine crocodile had run into the bronze coffin, along with a divine thought of the Crocodile Ancestor, a demon saint. This made him feel very unsafe.
After scanning the area, he couldn't see anything unusual, so he had to be extra careful to avoid dying before he even got started, or being ambushed by the little crocodile, which would be a disgrace to any transmigrator.
Hearing his strong voice, Ye Fan and Pang Bo felt much relieved. The two walked towards the smaller bronze coffin inside the larger bronze coffin. Seeing this, He Lang got up and followed them.
The small bronze coffin contains a great opportunity. It not only contains a small immortal realm, but also hundreds of imperial characters for repairing immortal realms. It is suspected to have been created by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor in the chaotic ancient era and can be called an immortal scripture. Most of it explains the mysteries of how to repair immortal realms. If he can comprehend this scripture, it will definitely be of great benefit to his future cultivation.
As He Lang approached the small bronze coffin, he wished he could press his entire body against it. Unfortunately, no matter how he tried to sense it, he couldn't detect any Dao sounds, which left him feeling frustrated.
I am a transmigrator after all, so I should have some protagonist's halo, right?
After struggling for a while, He Lang had to give up his idea of comprehending the Dao Sound. He had to admit that even after transmigrating, he was still quite useless.
"The Ancient Holy Land has the fruit of the Immortal Medicine, which can change one's aptitude. When I get to Beidou, I'll get one and eat it. That should be able to refine my aptitude."
He Lang leaned against the small bronze coffin, closed his eyes to rest, and pondered what resources could help his cultivation. He soon focused his attention on the immortal divine medicine fruit on the desolate ancient holy mountain, the first stop on the Big Dipper Ancient Star.
After all, judging from his own performance, he felt that his comprehension was not particularly outstanding, which meant that his aptitude was probably just average, not some kind of divine body or royal body.
As he pondered, He Lang unconsciously touched the small bronze coffin. Then, he paused, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy.
Name: He Lang
Equipment slots: None
A panel appeared in his consciousness, with three white squares on it. At the same time, a thought appeared in his mind, letting He Lang know the purpose of the three squares.
These are the equipment slots in the game. You can put various items into the equipment slots to gain the item's special properties. Each of the three white slots can be equipped with one item.
My initial anxiety immediately subsided. With this cheat code in hand, I'm invincible! I'll make sure the sky can't hide my true intentions!
"Equip the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin!"
He Lang cheered inwardly and immediately set his sights on the Nine Dragons Coffin Project.
"Equipping... Item level too high, equipment failed! Obtained Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin Path and a Strand of Reason."
Equipment failed?
He Lang was somewhat surprised that there was such a thing as failure, but when he thought about how many characters in games couldn't equip high-level equipment, he understood. At least his cheat could still drop special features!
His attention was drawn to the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin pattern that appeared in his equipment inventory. He noticed a trace of the Dao and principles behind the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin and wanted to see what it was used for.
Equipment Slot: [A wisp of Daoist charm from Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, Trait: Mending Heaven (Seizing the power of heaven and earth, it can enhance innate talent. Affinity with the Bronze Coffin: You form a bond with the bronze coffin! You can obtain the power of the bronze coffin to assist you.)]
Seeing the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin Dao Rhyme manifest in the equipment slot, He Lang couldn't help but gasp inwardly. The Heaven-Mending characteristic was obviously for improving one's constitution. He Lang guessed it was probably related to the hundreds of Emperor characters in the bronze coffin. After all, if it could be used to mend the Immortal Realm, it would be even more important for the human body's microcosm.
What made him gasp was the last sentence: "Forming a karmic bond with the bronze coffin!"
The Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is incredibly powerful; it is the burial coffin of the first powerful figure above the level of the Sacrifice Dao in the trilogy's world, containing the ashes of the copper coffin's owner and possessing immense karmic significance.
The rise of the three characters in the trilogy—Shi Hao, the Desolate Emperor; Ye Fan, the Heavenly Emperor; and Chu Luoli of the Sacred Ruins—is all related to him. The connection he forms with the bronze coffin makes He Lang's scalp tingle. Can he bear this connection?
But then He Lang thought about it again and stopped worrying. He would take it one step at a time; thinking too much was pointless!
At the same time, He Lang felt a strange connection between himself and the originally cold bronze coffin. He had a feeling that he could use this connection to communicate with the power of the forbidden bronze coffin, but He Lang did not rashly try to communicate with the bronze coffin.
This thing has too great a background; he can't afford to act recklessly at this stage. If Crocodile Ancestor discovers anything amiss, everyone in the bronze coffin will be doomed. He won't underestimate a demon saint who dares to oppose Shakyamuni, a quasi-emperor, even if what's inside is just a thought of its.
With the awakening of the cheat, He Lang's mentality changed somewhat, and a sense of heroic ambition, as if he could roam freely in the vast world, emerged.
After He Lang finished understanding the cheat, another change occurred inside the bronze coffin. Someone discovered handprints on the neck of a classmate next to them, who had been inexplicably strangled to death. Panic once again enveloped the bronze coffin.
