Mount Tai, Jade Emperor Peak!
Toward evening, nine hundred-meter-long dragon corpses dragged a bronze ancient coffin down from the sky.
This was an extremely shocking sight, as the nine dragon corpses looked like nine mountain ridges plunging down and shook Jade Emperor Peak until deep cracks split across it.
That bronze ancient coffin also slammed onto the summit of Mount Tai with a loud clatter.
The mountain shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred, and numerous rocks tumbled down from the heights, rumbling loudly.
Quite a few people still lingering on Mount Tai were caught in the aftermath, battered bloody by the falling rocks as screams and cries filled the air.
Lu Zhou was awakened by these screams and cries.
He rubbed his eyes, somewhat dazed as he surveyed the chaos before him.
He could not understand why, in the very previous second, he had still been slacking off at work and reading a fanfiction novel about Covering the Heavens.
How was it that in just the blink of an eye, he had ended up right here?
Wait?
Was that?
Dragons?
Lu Zhou was shocked!
He saw nine dragons pulling a bronze ancient coffin!
Nine Dragon Pulling Coffin!
Just as he was shocked by all of this, a "ding!" sounded in his head!
Ding!
Host arrival at Mount Tai detected, the Sign-in System is officially activated. Does the host wish to sign in?
"System?"
"Mount Tai?"
"Nine Dragon Pulling Coffin?"
"This is Covering the Heavens!"
"I've transmigrated, and I even have a system—the standard equipment for transmigrators!"
Lu Zhou stared wide-eyed.
The system dings at him once more.
It asks him a second time whether he wants to sign in!
"Do I even need to ask? Sign in right now!"
Ding! Host successfully signed in at Mount Tai, the host gains Ten Thousand Jin of Immense Strength!
Next sign-in location: inside the Nine Dragon Coffin. Please proceed to the sign-in location as soon as possible!
The moment the system's voice faded, Lu Zhou abruptly felt a surge of strength pour throughout his entire body. He clenched his fist slightly and felt as though he could beat his former self to death with a single punch.
This sensation brimming with power made him somewhat intoxicated, a stark contrast to his previous hollow, sub-health physical state.
Yet he was not satisfied!
"Only ten thousand jin?"
"System, you're a bit weak."
"This is Covering the Heavens! What use is ten thousand jin of strength? Are there any Emperor scriptures? Is there a Sacred Body? If no Sacred Body, you could at least get me a Divine Body first!"
Even as Lu Zhou muttered those words, he was already running toward the bronze coffin sitting roughly a hundred meters away from him.
He had already noticed a group of young people milling around that bronze coffin, curiously examining some of the five-colored altars surrounding it!
Seeing such a scene, Lu Zhou immediately recalled several descriptions from the original novel of Covering the Heavens.
He confirmed that this group of young people must undoubtedly be Ye Fan and his classmates.
He dared not delay, lest he miss this flight heading to the Big Dipper.
Until he had run all the way to the bronze coffin and blended into Ye Fan's group, no response had echoed from the system in his head.
Lu Zhou understood; this was a rigid system.
Ye Fan and the others saw him and said nothing further, simply assuming he too was curious about the Nine Dragon Pulling Coffin and the five-colored altars, which was why he had walked over to take a look.
At that moment, Lu Zhou heard two people speak up simultaneously, urging everyone.
"We had better hurry and leave this place!"
Lu Zhou looked toward the two people who had spoken.
If he remembered correctly, the two people who uttered those words were bound to be Ye Fan and Zhou Yi!
Hearing Ye Fan and Zhou Yi's urging, Ye Fan's classmates nodded in succession.
Just as they prepared to turn and leave, however, a woman beside Lu Zhou let out a startled scream.
A large rock beneath her feet rolled down into the giant pit, and losing her balance, she plunged downward.
"Careful!"
Lu Zhou and a male classmate beside the woman both reached out to grab her by reflex.
Without needing anyone else to lend a hand, Lu Zhou possessed ten thousand jin of immense strength, and with just a gentle tug, he pulled the woman right back up.
"Thank you!"
Clutching her chest, the woman looked somewhat shaken.
Even so, she immediately expressed her gratitude to Lu Zhou and her male classmate.
Lu Zhou smiled and waved his hand, signaling her not to mention it!
The moment his voice trailed off, he saw the ultra-large stone altar emit a hazy five-colored halo.
Then all of them felt their bodies enveloped by a massive force, their legs as difficult to move as if bound with blocks of lead.
The five-colored stone altar trembled unceasingly, causing Jade Emperor Peak to shake along with it.
Everyone standing at the edge of the giant pit felt the world spin and were knocked over, tumbling down into the massive pit.
Aside from Lu Zhou, every last person among them felt terror rising in their hearts.
Lu Zhou knew that this meant the Nine Dragon Pulling Coffin was about to set sail.
The instant this thought arose in him, cracking sounds rang out from the piles of jade pieces and stone slabs upon the giant altar, and streams of radiance burst forth.
The ancient characters carved on those jade pieces and stone slabs rushed out as if endowed with life, floating in the void.
Finally, those ancient characters and symbols formed a Bagua Diagram.
Before long, a Taiji Diagram emerged at the very center of that Bagua Diagram.
During this process, some of Ye Fan's classmates let out weeping cries, shouting that they wanted to leave this place.
Yet everyone's body remained completely frozen.
Lu Zhou gazed at this spectacle, his heart growing more and more excited.
His eyes locked tightly onto the Taiji Bagua Diagram suspended mid-air.
Before long, under his watchful gaze, the two yin-yang fish at the center of the Taiji Bagua Diagram slowly opened.
Through that wide-open portal, he caught sight of an Ancient Starry Road.
Simultaneously, the nine dragon corpses began to quiver, and the bronze coffin emitted a deafening clatter.
The lid of the bronze ancient coffin shifted out of position amidst the shaking, revealing a wide gap in the ancient coffin from which a bizarre aura seeped downward.
Under these circumstances, many of Ye Fan's classmates broke into tears and cries, asking what they should do and screaming for help!
They felt utterly helpless!
Next, an inexplicable force pulled at Lu Zhou and the others, and in that very instant, they once again felt the world spinning.
Then pitch black consumed their vision, and all of them were pulled straight into the copper coffin.
The coffin lid made a booming sound and completely slotted back into place, sealing shut!
Following that, Lu Zhou watched as someone took out a mobile phone to make a call, only to find that it could not connect at all.
Seeing them pull out their phones, Lu Zhou likewise reached out to pat his trouser pockets!
He had basically confirmed that his was a physical transmigration, not a spiritual one that had usurped someone else's body.
After all, the clothes, trousers, and shoes he wore were all his own, and upon the back of his hand was that exact mole!
Where's my phone?
Lu Zhou was dazed for a brief moment before he remembered that he had been holding his phone reading a novel at the time, and that phone probably hadn't transmigrated with him.
He felt a tiny twinge of public embarrassment, though far more of it was heartache—what a pity for all those study materials stored inside his phone...
At that moment, he heard Zhou Yi, Wang Ziwen, and Lin Jia all speaking, attempting to stabilize the emotions of everyone present.
Through this incident, Lu Zhou had now basically ascertained who Ye Fan was.
Soon, Ye Fan's classmates began taking headcount.
When he counted to the thirtieth person, his terrified voice trembled.
"How can there be a thirtieth person?"
Lu Zhou took the initiative to step forward and spoke to everyone.
"You should count me in as well. My name is Lu Zhou, and I'm here visiting Mount Tai as a tourist."
"Then I ran into the Nine Dragon Pulling Coffin!"
"I've been quite interested in various myths and legends since childhood, so when I saw you all examining those dragon corpses and the bronze coffin, I tagged along and walked over, never expecting to end up pulled into this coffin right along with you in the end."
As he stood up and spoke, someone already shone a light toward him using their phone.
The moment Lu Zhou's voice fell, a woman spoke up.
"I remember you. You pulled me up just a moment ago."
The woman thanked Lu Zhou once more, and those who had previously noticed Lu Zhou also spoke up one after another, stating that they remembered Lu Zhou as well.
Seeing this, the person responsible for counting finally let out a breath of relief.
He began to recount.
Then...
His teeth began to chatter once again.
"How... how come... there's... there's another extra person!"
"Who... who is it?"
Lu Zhou knew this was Pang Bo's grand entrance.
He watched the show...
While silently saying something to the system in his heart.
