Among all the heavens, I, Xiao Yan, did not use any cheat codes.

Chapter 14 The Method of Mending the Sky, Upgrading from a Slingshot to a Cannon

"A flickering light, scattering and confusing. We have arrived at the midpoint of this flight, Yinghuo Ancient Star Station. Passengers who are disembarking, please collect your belongings and disembark in an orderly manner."

Taking the lead, Xiao Yan was the first to leave the coffin, and what came into view was a reddish-brown land.

On a huge rock are the characters "荧惑" (Yínghuò) inscribed on bronze vessels.

"Tsk tsk tsk, all those Xizhilang drinks I had as a kid weren't for nothing."

Turning his head to look at the two people cautiously standing beside him, Xiao Yan suddenly revealed a smile.

Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes. Seeing that Pang Bo was still confused, he patted the other man's shoulder with a toothache.

"Congratulations on fulfilling your childhood dream and becoming an astronaut."

Pang Bo: "..."

Just as I was about to complain, I saw the two of them take the lead and walk ahead, so I immediately ran a few steps and followed them.

The three of them soon arrived at an ancient temple.

The ancient temple was not large; on Earth, it would be quite ordinary. But this was Mars.

"This is the Buddha's sacred site?" Ye Fan's eyes widened.

"I guess so?" Xiao Yan glanced at the ancient Bodhi tree beside him, then at the plaque of the Great Thunderclap Temple, and nodded.

The sacred site of the peak Quasi-Emperor Shakyamuni, which suppressed countless demons.

"As the saying goes, Buddha saves those who are destined. Since we have come here, it is because of fate. We can come to this dilapidated ancient temple to see if there is anything that is destined for us."

However, please note that legend has it that beneath the Great Thunderclap Temple lies the Eighteen Levels of Hell, where Buddha suppresses evil spirits. Therefore, exercise extreme caution when exploring.

As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Pang Bo looked eagerly at the plaque of the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Xiao Yan: "..."

"Ahem, Lao Pang, although you may be a sorcerer, you are a vital source of power for Buddhist scriptures, especially in conspiracy theories."

But there's no need to be in such a hurry. Generally speaking, abbots are rather petty.

"Be careful, an old man with a smile like a chrysanthemum might come by when you turn around. He'll say you're destined to be with him in the West."

According to his memory, Crocodile Ancestor's official breaking of the seal was supposed to happen 25 years later. However, Xiao Yan knew that in reality, once the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin arrived, it broke the balance here, and Crocodile Ancestor was already destined to break the seal ahead of time.

The numerous Buddhist artifacts were only part of the story; the plaque was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Although none of the other people boarded the vehicle this time, and there were only three people on the interstellar flight, Xiao Yan still felt a tingling sensation in his mind, and a vague sense of crisis.

I won't take the Quasi-Emperor's Sacred Artifact and the plaque; I'll leave them here to suppress Crocodile Ancestor for a while longer.

Scratching his head, Pang Bo calmed down and realized that Xiao Yan's suggestion made sense, so he followed Xiao Yan's advice and let the plaque go.

"Okay, then let's move on to the fun of looting and see if we can find any useful broken magical artifacts."

Pang Bo went to the Great Buddha Hall, while Xiao Yan and Ye Fan searched around before arriving at the Bodhi Tree.

This is the highlight of the trip.

The Bodhi Tree, the elixir of immortality.

The tree trunk was dry and withered, except for six crystal-clear Bodhi leaves.

"The body is a Bodhi tree, the mind a bright mirror; constantly wipe it clean, lest it be covered with dust." Ye Fan looked up and down at the withered Bodhi tree and sighed slightly.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side, stepped forward and began to burn the zither and boil the crane while Ye Fan was being literary.

With a forceful pull, he dismantled the entire Bodhi tree, collected the heartwood and several cubic meters of Bodhi wood, and then, under Ye Fan's rapidly twitching eyelids, gently plucked off six Bodhi leaves.

The moment the Bodhi leaf was plucked, the remaining ancient Bodhi tree turned into countless ashes and disappeared.

"Bodhi has no tree, nor is the bright mirror a stand. Originally there is nothing, so where can dust alight? Leaf, you still need to cultivate yourself."

Xiao Yan chuckled, waved the Bodhi leaf in front of Ye Fan, then put it in his pocket, and handed over the Bodhi seed.

Ye Fan's opportunity will be given to Ye Fan; as for taking his friend's treasure, that's fine, he can have some soup.

Moreover, this thing is quite a huge pitfall. It's something that Shakyamuni left for the Great Accomplished Holy Body. The concept of cause and effect is still quite mysterious.

Let the invincible Emperor Ye carry it; he'll be leaving soon and can't handle this.

"Here you go, Bodhi Seed. This stuff is very helpful for comprehension." Patting Ye Fan, who was standing there in a daze, Xiao Yan responded to a loud shout from afar and strode towards the other halls.

But only a moment later.

The three of them then put away all the Buddhist artifacts, leaving only the key array points, and quickly left.

Arriving around the five-colored altar, Xiao Yan felt the vital energy of heaven and earth continuously flowing in, but there was still some time before the charging was finished. He immediately shook his head and sighed, taking out some rather damaged Buddhist artifacts to use as fuel.

A magnificent Tai Chi diagram suddenly reappeared between heaven and earth.

Crocodile Ancestor: I'm starving!!!

They ignored the crocodile ancestor who woke up and couldn't find anything to eat.

Once again aboard the Nine Dragons Coffin, Xiao Yan pulled both of them directly to the vicinity of the bronze coffin.

As expected, even with the blessing of the Bodhi Seed, and even with Xiao Yan taking out the Bodhi Leaf, Pang Bo didn't hear anything at all.

The most difficult thing is that the Bodhi leaves were not consumed at all.

"...You should stick to the brute path; enlightenment isn't for you." Xiao Yan smirked.

He had a feeling that he would gain a lot from this trip.

So he let Ye Fan listen first. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan also handed over two Bodhi leaves, but the Bodhi leaves were not used up by the time Ye Fan finished listening.

Clearly, he had only memorized the immortal scripture and had not yet gained anything from it.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yan realized it was normal.

This was, after all, prepared for the restoration of the immortal realm. In addition, neither of them had any cultivation at the moment, and Pang Bo was even a demon god with strong limbs but a simple mind.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yan immediately took the Bodhi seed in his hand, placed the Bodhi leaf beside him, and integrated the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit into one, concentrating on comprehending the truth.

"The way of Heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who have too little..."

The magnificent and vast celestial sounds seemed to come from the primordial era, echoing in Xiao Yan's ears, desolate and boundless.

What was previously hazy and indistinct is now crystal clear.

Just as Xiao Yan guessed, this thing was indeed not any cultivation method, but rather a method for repairing the Immortal Realm.

For ordinary people, the process of building and constructing the structure is not particularly significant.

However, it led Xiao Yan into a profound state of enlightenment.

The refining of matter, the tempering and reconstruction of energy, the sublimation and retrospection, the bestowal of rules—from the heavens and the earth to oneself, and so on.

Many of his insights were integrated with what he had learned, and he began to fundamentally modify, or rather, elevate, his understanding.

Before he knew it, two of the Bodhi leaves in Xiao Yan's hand had disappeared.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan opened his eyes unconsciously.

Subconsciously, he took out a broken green lamp and a bronze bell, and following his comprehension, activated the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements, which had been completely altered, and at the same time, he offered up the Samadhi True Fire.

In an instant, the blue lamp, which had lost its divine power, lit up with a faint glow, and was refined into runes that shimmered with golden light. The bronze melted, and a bronze bell flew out from the side, pouring in golden light and merging with the molten bronze.

Under the astonished gazes of Ye Fan and Pang Bo, accompanied by a buzzing sound, a bronze bell that looked brand new floated in mid-air.

hum-

The resounding tolling of the bell cleanses the soul, as if washing away worldly impurities and bringing one into a state of sudden enlightenment.

Under the baptism of the bell, Pang Bo even faintly heard something about Yu and Zu...

"?! Jade feet!?"
