The Poor Daoist Catches a Ride

"The Crocodile Ancestor's corpse is also a good thing!"

Li Yu stepped forward, waved his sleeve, activated the resource collection function, and collected the Crocodile Ancestor's corpse into the Resource Library.

"Sleeve... Sleeve Universe?"

Zhou Yi's mouth fell open, his face full of envy.

As expected of the Dao Ancestor! He could even display such great divine abilities so nonchalantly. He absolutely had to cling to this powerful figure. Zhou Yi looked at Li Yu with great enthusiasm.

"Finally, nothing went wrong!"

Li Yu walked back to the Five-Colored Altar with leisurely steps, secretly breathing a sigh of relief in his heart.

If it weren't for the Bronze Coffin, and if it weren't for the energy support from the Lesser Immortal Realm within the Bronze Coffin, he would have been in trouble this time.

Li Yu secretly became more vigilant.

With the system, Li Yu had become a little arrogant. This incident served as a wake-up call; it wasn't time to act recklessly yet, and he had to be careful and vigilant.

"The Dao Ancestor of this world, if calculated, should be at the Celestial Venerable's strength. Although the Crocodile Ancestor had the cultivation of a Demon Saint, in the original work, he was beaten to death by a few blows from the Human Devil. Of course, he couldn't withstand a single strike from a Celestial Venerable."

Li Yu turned his head and glanced at the Bronze Coffin, feeling both fortunate and a little uneasy.

Exchanging the energy of the Lesser Immortal Realm for a Celestial Venerable's strike shouldn't consume too much energy, right? As long as the Lesser Immortal Realm wasn't damaged, there shouldn't be any problem.

This world was too deep! It was better to be careful.

"Buzz..."

Above the Five-Colored Altar, the Bagua runes had completely lit up, a giant Tai Chi diagram manifested in mid-air, the Yin and Yang fish began to tremble, and it seemed like a portal was about to open.

Previously, due to insufficient energy, the Five-Colored Altar had not been successfully activated. After Li Yu injured the Crocodile Ancestor, the Demon Saint's blood fell and was absorbed by the Five-Colored Altar. The energy required to activate the Five-Colored Altar was now sufficient.

"The Starry Sky Ancient Road is about to open, everyone, may this humble Daoist hitch a ride?"

Li Yu smiled at everyone and walked towards the Bronze Coffin. "Everyone here is fated. Embark on the path of cultivation, transcend the mundane, and your opportunities lie on this road."

"Cultivation?"

"Transcend the mundane?"

"Opportunities?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they quickly followed Li Yu into the Bronze Coffin.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

After everyone entered the Bronze Coffin, the Tai Chi diagram in the sky had already begun to open.

"Clang!"

The lid of the Bronze Coffin closed, and it immediately darkened inside. A huge vibration arose, and nine black dragons pulled the Bronze Coffin, slowly charging into the Starry Sky Ancient Road.

"Great Immortal, where does this road lead?"

"Great Immortal, what kind of opportunities are you referring to?"

"Great Immortal, can we all cultivate?"

After entering the coffin, even though it was pitch black, the crowd's enthusiasm did not diminish at all. They bombarded Li Yu with questions.

"This road leads to the Big Dipper Starfield. The Big Dipper Starfield is a world of cultivation, with countless Sects, Clans, Blessed Lands, and various Holy Lands. Once you reach the Big Dipper Starfield, if you have the chance to enter a Sect, you can begin cultivating."

Li Yu replied casually with a smile, but his mind was elsewhere.

"In the original work, Li Xiaoman was possessed by the Crocodile Ancestor's Divine Soul. Now that the Crocodile Ancestor is dead, the possession incident will naturally not happen. But what about that Divine Spirit Remnant... did it also enter the Bronze Coffin?"

Li Yu frowned, exchanged for a light spell from the system, and waved his hand, conjuring a point of light that illuminated the entire Bronze Coffin.

A moonlight-like radiance illuminated the Bronze Coffin. However, Li Yu found nothing.

"Wow? Is this a spell? It's so magical."

"It's so convenient to have spells for lighting, too!"

Seeing the silver radiance filling the coffin as if it were bathed in moonlight, everyone exclaimed in admiration again.

"Heh heh, just a minor art," Li Yu replied kindly with a smile, but he didn't relax in his heart.

"System, scan the coffin for the presence of any Divine Spirit Remnant!"

Li Yu commanded the system in his mind, his peripheral vision constantly scanning the inside of the coffin.

In the original work, there was a Divine Spirit Remnant of a Great Accomplishment Saint Body that crossed the starry sky with everyone and arrived at the Big Dipper Starfield. It also caused considerable trouble for Ye Hei.

This Divine Spirit Remnant had its Dao foundation severed by Shakya, and its strength was already extremely weak. With the system in hand, Li Yu was not afraid of it.

However, a Divine Spirit Remnant was a being of consciousness, naturally able to appear and disappear unpredictably. If it couldn't be found, it would still be a bit troublesome.

"Mind entity detected."

The system's invisible wave scanned the inside of the coffin, displaying a blurry shadow in Li Yu's mind. This shadow was following right behind Ye Fan.

"Is this the Divine Spirit Remnant?"

Li Yu looked at the mass of black smoke-like substance and smiled, shaking his head. "You're following Ye Fan because of the Saintly Body? If you fall into my hands, you might still have some value. Don't even think about harming others."

Smiling, Li Yu waved his hand. A wave of invisible energy shot from his fingertips, sweeping over the black smoke that the divine spirit remnant had transformed into, much like a black hole.

"Ah..."

A piercing scream reverberated through everyone's souls. In an instant, the divine spirit remnant was collected by the system and stored in the Resource Library.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Did anyone else hear a scream just now?"

"Yes, I heard it too."

"Great Immortal, what was that just now..."

The scream that shook their souls startled everyone, their faces paling.

"It's nothing."

Li Yu smiled and reassured everyone. "There's no need to worry. It was just a little ghost that managed to sneak out. This humble Daoist has already captured it."

"A little ghost? How could there be a ghost here?"

Zhou Yi blinked in surprise and asked Li Yu, "Ancestor, how can there be a ghost here? Is it related to this Bronze Coffin?"

"No! This Bronze Coffin isn't for storing dead people."

Li Yu shook his head with a smile. "That little ghost just now only ran out from under Da Lei Yin Temple."

"Da Lei Yin Temple?"

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, everyone exclaimed in unison.

The name Da Lei Yin Temple was familiar to all of them!

At that moment, everyone thought of the ancient temple on Mars, and the withered tree.

"Could that be Da Lei Yin Temple? And that tree is the Bodhi Tree?"

Thinking of this, their gazes towards Zhou Yi became somewhat enigmatic. The Dao Ancestor's dojo, no wonder Zhou Yi could cast golden light spells, it turned out he had taken such a huge advantage!

"Under Da Lei Yin Temple?"

Zhou Yi's focus, however, was on something else. He recalled stories of the Buddha suppressing demons, and he thought of the eighteen levels of hell.

That ghost just now probably wasn't just a "little ghost" as the Ancestor had said, right? What if the Ancestor hadn't been here?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi shivered all over. He secretly felt fortunate, and his gaze towards Li Yu held a bit more gratitude and respect.

"It will likely take another day to reach the Big Dipper Starfield. You must all be hungry by now, right?"

Li Yu smiled as he glanced at everyone, then gently waved his sleeve. A pile of food instantly appeared from within the Bronze Coffin.

"KFC?"

Looking at the pile of fried chicken, fries, burgers, and cola, everyone suddenly felt a sense of absurdity. Their expressions were somewhat strange.

Well, the Dao Ancestor and KFC were indeed worlds apart, it was too incongruous. Even producing Pan Peaches or Ginseng Fruits wouldn't have been this surprising!

"While traveling through the mortal realm, this humble Daoist happened to hear that these Barbarian foods also have their merits, so I collected some. What, can these things not be eaten?"

Li Yu deliberately put on a surprised expression, while secretly chuckling with a mischievous glee.

"They can be eaten! They can be eaten!"

Everyone nodded repeatedly and began to take the food, but in their hearts, they were all thinking.

"I wonder which KFC the Dao Ancestor patronized. Judging by the situation, the Dao Ancestor didn't seem to consider paying, did he?"

"Should we congratulate him for meeting an immortal? Or pity him for losing so much stuff?"
