Chapter 13 The train is about to depart
"Old Xiao, the fire on your body..." Ye Fan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He looked at the five-colored altar that had been smashed by the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, then turned to look at the white flames on Xiao Yan's body.
They were wisps of clear, pure white flames, as smooth and warm as jade, devoid of any trace of smoke or fire, exuding a sense of holiness.
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Xiao Yan waved his hand and patted it back, putting away the Samadhi True Fire. There was no time to comprehend it now; he would talk about it later.
"Yes, let's hurry up and get out of here first." Pang Bo jumped across the crack beneath his feet and peered into the giant pit below, where he saw the five-colored altar. His tone was urgent.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan glanced at the cracked earth and nodded quickly. At this moment, the only people closest to the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin in the entire mountain were the three of them. Everyone else, including his classmates, who were still alive, had already dispersed to a distance.
"I'm afraid we can't avoid it." Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and gestured with his chin toward the bronze coffin. When the two looked over, they saw that the coffin had opened a crack at some point, and the enormous suction force pulled the three of them in without any resistance.
Seeing that Xiao Yan and Ye Fan could not stand steadily, Pang Bo looked at the giant coffin in the distance, which was dark and seemed to hide an abyss. Recalling Xiao Yan's actions earlier, he knew that this was his lifeline.
Pang Bo immediately hardened his heart, leaped up, and risked being sucked in, twisting his body in mid-air, trying to pin the two of them down.
However, it was all for naught. The moment he jumped, Pang Bo instantly entered a state of weightlessness. Xiao Yan glanced at him with some surprise, then swung out an iron chain and pulled him back.
This one move alone was enough to make him acknowledge Pang Bo.
He unleashed his fiery palm technique with all his might, making the process of the three being sucked in somewhat more dignified.
The process of being sucked in could not be stopped from beginning to end; it was just slowed down a bit.
"Old Xiao, what can I do now?" Seeing that Xiao Yan had released all his magical artifacts and spewed energy in the opposite direction, but to no avail, Ye Fan immediately spoke in a solemn voice.
"What can you do?" Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow. "You've given away everything I gave you yesterday, haven't you?"
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, then realized what had happened. Yesterday, Xiao Yan had given him a bunch of health supplements that were supposedly longevity pills and youth-preserving pills, which he then gave to his parents and girlfriend.
He had already sent them all over before he came today.
"I originally planned to give it to you after we climbed Mount Tai together, but the medicinal herbs were just right yesterday, so I prepared it ahead of time."
Xiao Yan shrugged. Besides the pills, there were some small magical artifacts and a few backup plans he had laid out.
Ye Fan's girlfriend was a good person; she waited for him for three years, but in the end, they didn't get together.
Ye Fan paused for a moment, then shook his head and sighed. "In the end, it was the three of us who lost our lives."
Looking back, he saw people trying to come to his aid, but they were all stopped. His classmates were mostly hiding far away behind him.
Only Zhou Yi, Lin Jia, Feng Zijing and others tried to rush over, but were stopped by Liu Yunzhi and his group.
The next moment, the three of them were sucked into the ancient coffin.
"There's no need to be too afraid. I just checked and found that the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is actually recorded in ancient books."
In the darkness, Xiao Yan took out a lamp and used it to illuminate the bronze carvings of mythical beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas inside the coffin, introducing them to the two of them.
However, there was one thing that Xiao Yan was quite curious about: if he remembered correctly, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin was definitely earlier than the mythological era.
Moreover, this thing is essentially a fixed-route interstellar train, and people must have ridden on it in ancient times. So who carved this picture?
Those imperial corpses? Or those cultivators from ancient Earth?
"Old Xiao, what's going on again?" After a moment, having gained a preliminary understanding of the situation, and feeling relieved, Ye Fan asked Xiao Yan as the coffin seemed to take off again with a buzzing sound.
With his family settled in, he had no worries for the time being and was just waiting for an opportunity to return.
"Cultivation, I guess. In the past few years, I've managed to acquire some cultivation methods by chance, but my methods are very low-level." Xiao Yan shrugged. With his Burning Technique, it's still uncertain whether it can even evolve. It's completely incomparable to the Emperor Scriptures in Shrouding the Heavens.
Fortunately, this thing can be improved once he is strong enough; it's a case of making up for insufficient numerical values with improved mechanics.
A glint of longing flashed in Ye Fan's eyes; he had always been very interested in things like seeking immortality and visiting Taoist masters.
"These are some basic combat techniques and weapon crafting methods. If you find any that you like, feel free to take them."
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan took out some things that might be useful, even though they might not be of much use to them, and put them into a storage bag that he had made that could be used without needing special energy.
Then he recounted some stories about the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin. Inside the brightly lit coffin, there was no scary atmosphere at all.
After some discussion, Pang Bo felt relieved.
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
"But to be fair, Pang Bo, you don't seem to be human." Feeling uneasy under Pang Bo's gaze, Xiao Yan revealed a strange expression.
"Am I not human?" Pang Bo frowned, looked at his "massive" physique, and seemed to be deep in thought.
He didn't think Xiao Yan was indirectly criticizing him, but he felt that the other party seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words. However, after thinking about it for a long time, Pang Bo still couldn't figure it out.
He's still not good at thinking. If he could cultivate himself and give people two cakes at once, he'd be perfect as a gorilla.
"If I'm not mistaken, you possess the bloodline of a demon god. You should keep an eye on that later." As he spoke, Xiao Yan looked Ye Fan up and down again.
"Don't tell me I'm not human either." Ye Fan's eyelids twitched.
"No, but your physique is definitely not ordinary; you're also a master of strength and specialization in flying." Xiao Yan shrugged.
The Holy Body still consumes too many resources.
There was nothing he could do about it. At this level, he was destined to come here to feast and then reap the rewards. There was very little he could do.
After we get the Bodhi Seed, let Ye Fan see if he can refine anything from the Eight Gates Formation and the Divine Hundred Refinements that might be useful to him. This thing is probably pretty mysterious.
After some casual conversation.
"Gurgle—" After climbing the mountain for half a day and encountering a series of unexpected events, Ye Fan and Pang Bo felt hungry as soon as they calmed down.
But then they looked at the eerie coffin and exchanged bewildered glances.
Just as they were about to endure, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and a rich fragrance wafted towards their noses.
Xiao Yan sat happily at the small table, which was covered with various kinds of food.
There were fast food options, as well as gourmet meals packed from upscale restaurants, and even two servings of Shandong-style scallion pancakes.
"Come, come, here's some excellent scallion pancakes, eat them while they're hot."
Xiao Yan greeted him with a smile, but Ye Fan's face darkened.
"I've never heard of eating scallion pancakes while they're hot. Is that even possible?" "You guys keep eating. I'll go take another look at that little coffin over there."
After waving to the two of them, Xiao Yan went to the other end of the coffin.
There was a small bronze coffin there.
Or rather, this is the real coffin.
A smaller fairy realm to fill the gap in the fairy realm.
After circling the small coffin, Xiao Yan didn't sense anything unusual.
He could faintly hear something in one corner, but when Xiao Yan tried to concentrate, it seemed as if there was nothing there.
Xiao Yan immediately raised an eyebrow.
It seems my talent is indeed good enough; I was able to hear some of the Heaven-Mending Immortal Scripture, but it was still a bit lacking, and I didn't hear it clearly.
There are no Bodhi seeds or anything like that for now, so I guess I'm not destined to be associated with the character "帝" (Emperor).
Not annoyed, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly sensing how much longer he could stay in this world.
Of all the others, this is the most important.
"Just as I expected, the length of time I can stay is linked to my strength and my world ranking..."
Xiao Yan reached out and rubbed his temples. Logically speaking, he could stay in the regular world for quite a long time.
After advancing, according to perception, it should be able to reduce the cooldown time of the projection that obscures the sky and extend the duration of its stay.
But this ability to cover the sky seems to be a bit beyond his current capabilities.
In the normal world, he might be able to stay for half a year, but the time he can stay here is probably coming to an end. Judging by the time, it should be almost over when he reaches the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.
"So this is a quick transmigration story?" Rubbing his chin, Xiao Yan felt that this was acceptable.
He wasn't sure how long he could survive in this place called Zhetian. Although he wasn't afraid of death, it would be best to leave as soon as possible.
Just as he was thinking of taking this opportunity to experience the Samadhi True Fire, which was formed by the high condensation and sublimation of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, Xiao Yan suddenly looked up.
Just then, accompanied by a ripple, the coffin slowly came to a stop.
We've arrived at Yinghuo Station.
