Teasing

Two days later, Ye Fan sent a message in the Chat Group.

[Ye Fan: @everyone, come over! Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin has arrived.]

Upon seeing the message, everyone traveled over.

That was right, everyone was going again. They probably all wanted to cultivate the Shrouding the Heavens Technique.

It was a fine idea.

But once they boarded this ship, their future lives would definitely be exciting. If they were not searching for resources, they would be on the way to search for resources.

When everyone appeared beside Ye Fan, their gazes were drawn to the nine enormous dragon corpses in the distance.

Near the dragon corpses were terrifying cracks one after another.

Then there was the more than twenty-meter-long bronze coffin, filled with an air of mystery that drew everyone's attention.

"Let's go. Let's climb up and take a look."

After speaking, Chen Yu looked at Ye Fan again. "Your classmates are safe now."

Ye Fan shook his head with a bitter smile. "Looks like it really came to pick me up."

"Come on, let's find the Five-Colored Altar."

Everyone headed toward the bronze coffin.

Chen Yu noticed that some bolder people were also walking toward the dragon corpses, just like them, but he did not chase them away.

If they were lucky, they would be drawn into the coffin and get to visit the cultivation world. The price might be their lives.

When everyone reached the edge of the crack, Chen Yu did not bother with much else. He jumped directly onto the chain and followed it to the bronze coffin. The others copied him, while Zhang carried Ye Fan over.

When Ye Fan also landed on the Five-Colored Altar, it lit up. The Ancient Starry Sky Road opened, and everyone was sucked into the bronze coffin.

The inside of the bronze coffin was pitch-black, but none of them were ordinary people. Naturally, they would not be frightened by such trivial darkness.

Besides, Ye Fan had come prepared and took a flashlight from his backpack.

Everyone slowly walked deeper into the bronze coffin, looking entirely like tourists.

"Are the patterns carved into the bronze walls real? There are way too many vicious beasts."

Xiao Yan gazed at the patterns of vicious beasts such as Qiongqi and Taowu carved into the bronze walls and sighed.

"Heh, it was probably some Bear Child who ate too many of them and felt bad about it, so he carved their portraits for future generations to admire, lest the world forget them."

Bang!

A sudden pressure descended. Chen Yu felt as if a thousand-pound mountain had crushed down on him, forcing him flat onto the floor, his cheek pressed tightly against the cold bronze surface.

Everyone else was startled and immediately assumed defensive stances.

After a while, there was still no movement around them. Everyone relaxed slightly, though they remained vigilant.

Ye Fan and Xiao Yan tried to pull Chen Yu up, but no matter what they did, they could not move him.

Helpless, everyone could only sit around Chen Yu and stop moving forward.

Xiao Yan asked, "What's wrong with Brother Chen? Did he say something he shouldn't have?"

Ye Fan said, "I don't know. He can't get up now, and he seems unable to speak. Who knows what happened to him?"

Suddenly, the ancient bronze coffin shook violently. Whether the shaking was too intense or someone had tampered with it, everyone was flung into the air, bouncing around like balls. Every time they fell, they landed on Chen Yu.

The force was controlled perfectly. It would not injure him, but it would hurt.

At that moment, Chen Yu was cursing in his heart. Was that damn Bear Child really that bored? He'd better pray Shi Hao never joins the Chat Group, or I'll make his ass bloom.

Moreover, Chen Yu strongly suspected that someone else had been responsible for making everyone land on him. The Bear Child probably would not do something like that.

After a while, the ancient bronze coffin returned to normal. Naturally, Chen Yu regained his freedom as well.

After recovering, Chen Yu said nothing. He merely glanced at Ye Fan from time to time, making Ye Fan's scalp tingle.

No one else spoke, either. They could all see that someone was messing with Chen Yu, and that person was extremely powerful. They could not find even the slightest trace.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why everyone had landed so precisely on Chen Yu every time.

Yan Lingji and the other two women blushed slightly. They had landed on Chen Yu quite a few times just now.

Chen Yu turned back and saw light shining in from not far behind them. They should have reached Mars.

"Ye Fan, we've reached Mars. Go to Great Thunder Sound Temple and get your Bodhi Seed. Take as many other things as you can."

"You definitely won't be in danger. Go and come back quickly."

Having just been toyed with, Chen Yu no longer had the mood to pick up that scrap bronze and junk iron.

Ye Fan gave an embarrassed laugh. At this point, he was too embarrassed to ask everyone to go with him.

"Alright. Wait here. I'll be right back."

The Bodhi Seed was a good thing and extremely useful to him. He had to get it.

"Wait. There's also a Crocodile Ancestor here. To avoid any accidents, I'll fly you over. We'll go quickly and return quickly."

Just as Ye Fan was about to step out of the bronze coffin, Chen Yu called out to stop him.

Chen Yu then said to the others, "Don't leave the bronze coffin."

With that, he walked out of the bronze coffin and spread his Thunder Wings, flying into the air.

After confirming the direction of Great Thunder Sound Temple, he dived down, grabbed Ye Fan, and flew toward the light source.

They arrived at Great Thunder Sound Temple in only a few minutes. Without wasting words, the two began searching everywhere inside the temple.

They did not dare waste time. Whenever they saw a ritual item, they stuffed it into their backpacks. Once their backpacks were full, they quickly left.

They moved a little slower on the way back. Chen Yu carried Ye Fan in one hand and the plaque of Great Thunder Sound Temple in the other. Ye Fan held an ancient lamp in one hand and a vajra in the other, with a large backpack on his back.

When the two returned to the bronze coffin, nothing unusual happened.

After returning, they placed all the Buddhist artifacts from their backpacks near the open entrance of the bronze coffin. With those blocking the door, the Little Divine Crocodiles would not be able to enter.

"Awooo!" An earth-shaking roar rang out.

Everyone retreated behind the small bronze coffin. No matter how chaotic things became outside, it had nothing to do with them.

Suddenly, the Buddhist artifacts Chen Yu had placed at the entrance began to glow, but they did not attack. Apparently, the Little Divine Crocodiles outside did not dare enter.

Rumble!

The bronze coffin began to tremble. It had clearly absorbed enough energy and was about to take off.

"Huohuo, do you want to go take a look at the entrance? Maybe you'll get to witness the Crocodile Ancestor's peerless bearing."

"No. Why would I look at that thing? I don't want to wash my eyes."

Suddenly, the ancient lamp, plaque, vajra, meditation cushion, and all the other Buddhist artifacts burst forth with light and shot into the sky.

Everyone remained behind the small bronze coffin, utterly unconcerned about what was happening outside. The Crocodile Ancestor could not stop the bronze coffin anyway, so why worry for nothing?

Then, with a clang, everyone turned to see the ancient bronze lamp fall into the coffin. This was followed by a series of clangs as several Buddhist artifacts dropped into the coffin.

The ancient lamp, plaque, vajra, Alms Bowl, and more.

After some time, the coffin lid slammed shut with a bang, and the journey through the stars continued onward.

"The Way of Heaven takes from those with surplus and replenishes those in need. The Way of Man is not so..."

A majestic voice rang out, startling everyone badly.

Chen Yu looked up blankly. Was this normal? Or were all of them people of destiny?

Had Ye Fan's opportunity become an opportunity for all of them?

Whatever. Since it was being given to them, they would accept it.

"Hurry! This is a rare chance. Quickly comprehend these scriptures."

With that, he began listening to the Dao sound. These were Immortal Emperor scriptures, a great opportunity that could only be encountered by chance.

The Great Dao Heavenly Sound rang out again and again, carving itself deeply into everyone's hearts.

No one knew how much time passed. When the Great Dao Heavenly Sound finally ceased, before everyone could come back to their senses, a dizzying sensation swept over them.

With a rumble, the bronze coffin slammed heavily into the ground. The coffin lid shifted, and sunlight shone directly inside.

They had reached their destination.

The forbidden land of the Big Dipper Star—Ancient Forbidden Land.
