Travel Character Secret
As Zhou Tong moved forward, although he had already seen a way out, Zhou Tong still had to rethink each step three or four times to be on the safe side.
They walked incredibly slowly, taking a full seven days to reach the mountainside.
"Nannan saw several people, both men and women..." Xiao Nannan suddenly spoke, pointing ahead with her little finger.
"Ignore them, don't make a sound. The Seven-Colored Divine Light of my Vajra Ring is a peerless secret technique— Dragon Concealment. They won't be able to detect us!" Zhou Tong said. "Follow me, don't take a wrong step; don't look at them, don't sense their aura."
Ye Fan and Pang Bo didn't dare to breathe loudly. Following Zhou Tong's footsteps, they walked up the mountain step by step, not daring to look back.
The tense atmosphere eased after they had walked quite a distance. Pang Bo whispered, "Zhou Tong, do you know who they are? Why are you being so cautious?"
"I told you not to worry about them, don't even talk to them!" Zhou Tong glared at Pang Bo and said, "Just follow me here and don't say a word. If we really encounter great danger, I can't protect you!"
Zhou Tong was very careful, as the Undying Daoist was present in this place.
This was the first time Zhou Tong had come so close to Ancient Supreme, so he couldn't afford to be careless.
Fortunately, Vajra Ring continuously Dragon Concealment Secret Art, preventing any strange occurrences from happening; otherwise, it might have been dangerous.
Continuing onward, Zhou Tong constantly deduced the profound meaning of the Wu Shi Killing Array, advancing a certain distance each day. Finally, a month after entering the core area of Sacred Cliff, the group reached the summit.
The distance from the foot of the mountain to the top is not actually far. If it were an ordinary mountain, the group could reach it almost instantly. However, this was a place set up by the Wu Shi the Great. Even though Zhou Tong restored a corner of the Wushi Formation Patterns and even though Zhou Tong had the Nine Secrets: Zu, it still took him a month to get up here.
This is a vast cliff, so wide that a small town could be built on it.
However, this place is a barren land, where not a single blade of grass grows.
The mountain was still the unique jet black of the Undying Mountain, but there were dark red bloodstains in many places, and some puddles of water in a few places, the bright red bloodstains were glaring.
The most eye-catching feature of this cliff is the edge of the Sacred Cliff, where a Stone Coffin, hundreds of feet long, hangs on the precipice.
"The corpse of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body... but where are the Nine Secrets?" Pang Bo asked.
"The Nine Secrets are inside this coffin!" Zhou Tong walked directly towards the coffin, with Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and Xiao Nannan following behind.
"Is this Stone Coffin moldy? Why has it turned green... No, this is green mold growing from inside the coffin! Could the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body have turned into a zombie?!" Pang Bo asked curiously at first, but after seeing it clearly, he felt a chill run down his spine and his whole body became ice cold.
How terrifying would it be if a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body were to undergo a zombie transformation?
No one could have imagined it.
"No matter how many tens of thousands of years have passed since the death of the Ancient Great Emperor, their physical bodies will not decay or perish. The same will be true for the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body. If it were to undergo a corpse transformation, that unparalleled physical body would be..." Upon thinking of this, Pang Bo revealed a hint of horror.
"This is the curse of the Primordial Sacred Body! The Primordial Sacred Body undergoes some changes before death, and this Great Accomplishment Sacred Body is just like that." Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan.
"Look here!" Ye Fan suddenly spoke, pointing to the two marks on the side.
One is a Buddha sitting cross-legged, with a kind and benevolent expression; the other is an old man riding Azure Ox, with Purple Qi seemingly drifting westward. They are lifelike and very expressive.
"The Tathagata Buddha and Laozi? They've come here too?"
Pang Bo exclaimed in surprise, but then glanced at Zhou Tong and laughed, "Hey Little Tyrant, you destroyed Buddha's lair, and now you've run into Buddha here? Aren't you scared?"
"What's there to be afraid of? He can't find me!" Zhou Tong carefully examined the two marks, and then saw two stone tablets next to the ancient coffin, which contained words of remembrance left by Laozi and Shakyamuni.
In addition, there are two huge star charts, which seem to have been used to deduce something, densely packed with stars.
"Is this the Ancient Starry Road?" Ye Fan asked.
Zhou Tong nodded, and at the same time, the Vajra Ring on his head spun, scattering a burst of Phoenix Divine Fire that completely burned the green fur on the coffin.
"Boom!!"
Instantly, the ancient coffin trembled violently, as if some enormous creature was about to emerge, and the terrifying aura it emitted caused the mountain to shake.
The entire Sacred Cliff was shaking as if a major earthquake had occurred, with huge rocks constantly rolling down.
Especially this great mountain, if it weren't for the Great Emperor Array Patterns binding it, it would probably have collapsed already, with some inexplicable energy surging within it.
At this moment, the Array Patterns inscribed by the Wu Shi the Great revealed their supreme mysteries. Threads of silk spread and intertwined in the Void the Great from all directions.
Although there are no Dao Pattern on this mountain peak, it is a place of guidance, leading all the countless threads to the ancient coffin and binding it.
The commotion finally subsided, the Stone Coffin stopped shaking, and everything gradually calmed down.
"Thump!!"
The Vajra Ring then transformed into a Seven-Colored Divine Light and slammed into the coffin lid, sending it flying and crashing heavily onto the mountaintop.
"Boom!"
Instantly, an unparalleled aura of malevolence surged forth from the coffin, accompanied by billowing black mist.
The Vajra Ring flew back, hovering above their heads, scattering rays of light that enveloped Zhou Tong and the others, blocking the approaching Killing Intent and malevolent energy.
"Sizzle!"
At the same time, countless strands of light intertwined, these were the Array Patterns inscribed by the Wu Shi the Great Wushi, transforming into a blazing light curtain that enveloped the ancient coffin. Simultaneously, a golden glow burst forth from the mountainside, descending and stabilizing the restless ancient coffin.
Only then did the overwhelming killing intent recede like a tide; otherwise, Zhou Tong and the others would not have been able to withstand it.
That patch of golden light was the Investiture of the Gods left behind by the Wu Shi the Great halfway up the mountain. However, since Sacred Cliff had already exerted all its strength this time, Zhou Tong really didn't have the energy to go around and see the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods.
"Boom!!"
Just then, a curtain of light flew out from the ancient coffin, and the Great Dao pressed down on the sky!
A Dao Diagram lay horizontally in the Void the Great, extremely clear, as if descending from the Ninth Heaven, inspiring genuine awe and making one want to kneel on the ground.
"The Nine Secrets: Xing' is right before your eyes. How much you can comprehend depends on your own abilities!" Zhou Tong unfolded his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, and the Bodhi Tree appeared, emitting rings of divine aura that enveloped everyone.
Let's begin!
Zhou Tong said something, but then quickly remembered something and said, "Nannan, don't try this."
He suddenly remembered that in the original story, it was the Xiao Nannan who suddenly tried the "Nine Secrets: Xing" and almost caused trouble.
The Xiao Nannan nodded, though she didn't know why.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo didn't know why Zhou Tong had specifically given the Xiao Nannan this instruction. Of course, they didn't care, because they had already shifted their attention to the Nine Secrets. This was a great opportunity, and they wanted to seize the time to comprehend it.
Time passed slowly, and the group remained motionless, silently contemplating and immersing themselves completely in the task.
It must be said that the Bodhi Tree truly deserves to be called a treasure for enlightenment. Under the Bodhi Tree, as they comprehended the Nine Secrets: Xing" Xing", everyone felt that their minds were clearer than ever before, and the mysteries of the nine-layered Dao Diagram in front of them quickly unfolded before their eyes.
Of course, they also knew that they would not be able to comprehend it in a short time, so they simply engraved all nine layers of the Dao Diagram in their minds and would slowly try to understand it later.
