The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Ye Fan looks thin, but he has actually trained and practiced standing meditation.

He was tall and slender, but had excellent physical strength.

He climbed up in a few moments, with Pang Bo following closely behind.

Pang Bo is as his name suggests; he is very imposing, but not fat, rather strong and muscular.

Pang Bo thought he would be better than Ye Fan, at least he was stronger, but Ye Fan beside him ran just as fast as him.

No, Ye Fan was taking care of himself; he wasn't using his full strength.

The two of them quickly climbed up and stood on the boulder.

"This is no longer Earth, so there's no point in taking any chances," Ye Fan said directly.

Pang Bo nodded: "Actually, that Mr. Qin..."

"My master."

“Yes.” Pang Bo nodded. “I believe him, and you can tell just by looking at the starry sky. And the surroundings too. The light isn’t strong right now, but I can still see what’s around me. This can’t be Earth.”

After a pause, Pang Bo asked again, "Tell me, what exactly happened to those dragon corpses? They were clearly dead, yet they were still able to pull huge bronze coffins away from Earth and, in a very short time, actually brought us to Mars."

"You know, that takes Earth spacecraft at least six months to fly."

“We’ve even seen a dragon’s corpse. If a real god were to stand in front of me, I wouldn’t be surprised.”

Ye Fan said in a deep voice, "Do you think my master, who effortlessly sent three classmates out of the bronze coffin, knew about the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, and remained completely calm in the face of Mars, is an ordinary person?"

Pang Bo suddenly realized, "That makes sense."

But before he could speak, a voice came from behind.

Turning around, I saw Cade climbing up from behind.

"I saw the light."

After Cade came up, he watched for a while, then shouted loudly and ran downstairs.

Pang Bo pursed his lips and turned back to ask, "Just like that, you give up? I can tell that Li Xiaoman still has feelings for you."

Ye Fan shook his head: "Some things, once lost, can never be brought back to the starting point."

Moreover, even if you pass through the same path twice in life, it will never be the same path.

Besides, do you really think Li Xiaoman likes me?

She just felt strange and resentful.

And, all they wanted was my master's protection.

Women have always known what is good for them, what they should give up, and what they can gain.

Ye Fan was very clear-headed; he wouldn't be fooled by Li Xiaoman's few words.

Pang Bo laughed: "I despise you, just on instinct. I feel that something will happen between the two of you."

After a pause, Pang Bo continued, "It is precisely because of your master's presence that she will hold onto you even more tightly until your future is bright."

Ye Fan and Pang Bo climbed down from the boulder and saw that their classmates were all on the side of the boulder facing the light source.

They saw two huge ancient characters carved on the stone.

"Yinghuo." Ye Fan recognized it at a glance.

"This is indeed Yinghuo."

Is this Mars?

Once Qin Hao's earlier words were confirmed, panic spread instantly.

Before, I could still lie to myself and say that it was fake, that Qin Hao was just scaring everyone.

However, at this point, this argument no longer holds water.

Zhou Yi frowned. Although he felt that Qin Hao was right, he still subconsciously said, "It's possible that this was Qin Hao's doing. It's just a huge rock; it's easy to move with a gantry crane."

Ye Fan pouted, refusing to argue with Zhou Yi.

"By the way, where is your master?" Lin Jia suddenly asked.

Qin Hao had already arrived at a large complex of buildings.

All that remains here are ruins; it's hard to imagine how prosperous this place must have been in ancient times.

Ancient cultivators emerged from Earth.

On Mars, a large number of buildings were constructed.

"Perhaps, those who don't know might think this is the Heavenly Palace."

Qin Hao smiled and had already arrived in front of the ancient temple.

In front of the ancient temple, a Bodhi tree stands tall and vigorous like a writhing dragon, its trunk withered and dry.

There are still five or six green leaves scattered on it, each one crystal clear, like jade.

Qin Hao did not directly touch the ancient Bodhi tree; this was Ye Fan's opportunity.

Although Qin Hao intended to acquire it, an exchange was still necessary.

Who knows if the Ruthless Emperor is watching?

Moreover, he could tell that the ancient Bodhi tree was suppressing something.

If he were to take this thing away, the ancient crocodile god would likely be freed immediately.

In that case, another disaster is inevitable.

He turned and stepped into the ancient temple.

A plaque stands horizontally, shimmering with a kind of Buddha's light that others cannot see.

"Da Leiyin Temple".

This plaque is also a magical artifact, but it has been around for too long and is somewhat dilapidated.

This thing wasn't deliberately crafted.

But just like things that a sage often uses, after being used for a long time, they become imbued with the sage's aura and thus become extraordinary.

It is unknown whether the plaque of the Great Thunderclap Temple was written by the Great Emperor Amitabha or painted by the later Shakyamuni.

But the halo around it is indeed remarkable.

Qin Hao guessed that it should be Shakyamuni.

Because of the Bodhi tree, the immortal medicine outside, it later followed Shakyamuni.

Of course, Shakyamuni was a spirit that came from the corpse of Amitabha Buddha, the Great Emperor. Although they are not the same person, they can be considered as one.

Qin Hao shook his head and casually put the plaque away.

Regardless, this is a good thing.

With a little refinement, it becomes a superior magic weapon.

Besides, we might need it again in the future.
The ancient temple was a bit messy; it looked like no one had been there for a long time.

Qin Hao went straight in, first arriving at a stone Buddha statue and picking up the ancient bronze lamp.

Afterwards, he collected all the Buddhist treasures that caught his eye nearby.

They left only the less desirable ones for Ye Fan and the others.

Anyway, they can't take much, and it wouldn't be of any use to them anyway.

"This...this is actually a Bodhi tree?"

As Ye Fan and the others spoke, Qin Hao chuckled.

He hadn't expected Ye Fan and the others to arrive so quickly.

Fortunately, he had already packed most of his things away.

"Could this be the place where Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment?"

Legend has it that Shakyamuni attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and practiced asceticism for many days before achieving enlightenment.

"Could this be the legendary Great Thunderclap Temple?"

"Don't joke around, the Great Thunder Temple is a legendary place, a myth."

"But now, the Bodhi tree already exists. And we've even reached Mars. Isn't that mythical enough?"

Ok?
Zhou Yi, however, stubbornly insisted, "Even so, it's just a religion. Do you really think that 2,500 years ago, Shakyamuni sat in meditation under an ancient tree on Mars for seven days and seven nights and then became the Buddha?"

"Why is it impossible?" Ye Fan said loudly, "Based on what we've experienced these past two days, nothing is impossible."

After saying that, Ye Fan turned and entered the ancient temple. Zhou Yi and Liu Yunzhi seemed to remember something and quickly followed him in.

The first thing they saw was Qin Hao standing in the ancient temple.

My heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Qin Hao got there first?
However, they also noticed that Qin Hao was all alone and didn't have anything with him.

They had no idea that Qin Hao had a storage ring and didn't need to hold the items in his hand.

When you want it, you can use it with just a thought.

Ye Fan looked around and went straight to the place where the futon was, and picked it up in his hand.

The others then realized what was happening and began searching the entire ancient temple for the item.

This is a legendary place, perhaps truly the place where Shakyamuni attained enlightenment.

Therefore, everything here must be extraordinary.

They searched everywhere, grabbing everything they could see and stuffing it into their pockets.

Ye Fan and Qin Hao stood there motionless, as if a faint, ethereal chant was coming from beyond the heavens.

Om, Mani, Padme Hum.

"What's wrong with you?" Pang Bo shook Ye Fan, waking him up.

Ye Fan opened his eyes, as if waking from a dream, but regret was revealed in his eyes.

Ye Fan, who had already embarked on the path of cultivation, was well aware that what had just happened was his lucky break.

Although the others seemed not to hear, the ancient temple in front of them remained unchanged, covered in a thick layer of dust, and the others were oblivious to everything else.

Turning his head, Ye Fan looked at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao and Ye Fan were the only two who could hear the sound from earlier. After waking up, Qin Hao also felt that his state of mind and willpower had been greatly improved.

"It's truly a resounding name! No wonder it's called the Great Thunder Sound!"

The Buddha's voice was like thunder when he preached.

This is the explanation for the so-called Great Thunder Temple.

"So it really is the Great Thunderclap Temple?" Ye Fan grasped the meaning behind Qin Hao's words.

Qin Hao nodded, glanced outside, and said, "That's about enough. Tell everyone to head back. Otherwise, if the time is up, we'll be stuck here on Mars forever."

Ye Fan turned his head and greeted him.

But unfortunately, everyone is greedy, and not everyone is willing to listen to him.

Ye Fan turned around and looked at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao simply said, "That's just how things are, coming and going. Sometimes, choices are very important. Since they're greedy, let them be. Come with me."

Ye Fan quickly followed, as did Pang Bo.

They had just come out of the Great Thunderclap Temple when Qin Hao looked at the ancient Bodhi tree. He reached out, and six or seven emerald green leaves fell from it and flew into his hand.

The entire Bodhi tree began to wither and instantly turned to ash.

Qin Hao waved his hand again, and the ground flipped open, revealing a walnut-sized, dark-colored Bodhi seed that flew up.

Qin Hao didn't accept it directly, but instead handed it to Ye Fan: "You take it first."

"This, Master?" Ye Fan was stunned, at a loss for words.

Qin Hao said, "This is your opportunity. Do you remember what I told you before?"
You possess a great secret; this is the method of Shakyamuni.

You can hold onto it for a while, and if you want to exchange it for resources later, you can trade it with me.

Qin Hao knew, of course, that this was because Shakyamuni had made arrangements with Ye Fan beforehand.

Later, thanks to this auspicious connection, Shakyamuni successfully entered the celestial realm and became an immortal.

Although it was only half-body entry, I guess you could call me a half-immortal.

Of course, once you reach the level of becoming an immortal, having only half a body doesn't matter.

There are many ways to repair the whole body.

Ye Fan was stunned. Did he have a major secret on him?
But just as he was about to ask what the secret was, Qin Hao remained silent.

Of course I can't tell anyone. If the Ruthless Great Emperor finds out, that would be terrible.

Becoming a great emperor is not something that comes easily.

The Ruthless Great Emperor did not want his brother to be found again after millions of years, only to turn out to be a hopeless case.

Along the way, the Ruthless Emperor made many arrangements.

It won't be easy for Ye Fan to transcend his limitations. Qin Hao didn't understand why the Ruthless Great Emperor thought Ye Fan was destined to rise to power.

But Qin Hao knew that the Ruthless Great Emperor would never give a kind look to anyone who disrupted his plans.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be called the Ruthless Great Emperor.

That Devouring Heaven Demon Art is no benevolent cultivation method.

"gone."

As Qin Hao spoke, he began to leave: "This place is ominous."

"Unfavorable?" Ye Fan was taken aback.

This is the legendary site where Shakyamuni Buddha, who is said to have attained enlightenment, is said to be.

Moreover, Qin Hao just mentioned that the Bodhi seed was given to him by Shakyamuni.

This also indirectly confirms the address here.

In Ye Fan's view, Qin Hao was really too mysterious.

How did he know these secrets?

"Everyone, come out quickly!" Ye Fan called out as he turned back before leaving.

Only two or three students followed.

Some others were greedy and wanted to find more in the ancient temple.

Anything that can be taken away should not be left behind.

Apart from dust.

As Ye Fan followed Qin Hao, he held the Bodhi seed in his palm and examined it carefully. He discovered that the natural patterns on the dull and ordinary Bodhi seed connected together, resembling a compassionate Buddha.

Could this really be the place where Shakyamuni attained enlightenment?

Is this really the Great Thunder Temple?

Unfortunately, before he could say anything or ask Qin Hao, he saw that Qin Hao kept walking.

It looks like there's a real danger.

This place is truly ominous.

"Everyone, hurry up and follow!" Ye Fan finally couldn't bear it and shouted.

If you don't know, that's fine, but if you do know, you'd feel uneasy if you didn't call out to them.

Inside the main hall behind, Liu Yunzhi suddenly exclaimed in surprise, then rushed forward with delight and pulled out the broken section of the Vajra Pestle from a corner.

“You say these are things possessed by the gods. If we could truly find a way to activate these things, what an achievement we would have?”

Everyone was shocked. They were still daydreaming about their future, how glorious they would be, flying through the sky, moving mountains and filling seas, and being omnipotent.

The stone Buddha suddenly emitted a cracking sound.

"not good!"

"That stone Buddha!"

Zhou Yi turned his head and looked on, his eyes wide with rage.

He remembered what Ye Fan had said earlier: "Let's go!"

You shouldn't be greedy.

Zhou Yi suddenly remembered, but he knew that even if he could do it all over again, he would still have to find what he was looking for.

Ye Fan turned around and saw that the ancient temple was shaking continuously. Then he vaguely heard the six-syllable mantra of Buddhism.

This time, everyone heard the six-syllable mantra of Buddhism.

The sound of Zen is vast, cleansing away filth and washing away the dust of the mortal world.

As the peaceful light of the northwest descended, Ye Fan noticed that the futon in his hand and the Bodhi seeds were also radiating light, seemingly echoing this light.

The same goes for everyone else.

In Pang Bo's hand, a small blue lotus flower radiated light, enveloping his entire body.

"this?"

The two looked at Qin Hao, who said, "Hurry up, an ominous creature is about to be born."

Ok?
Unknown?

How could the Buddha's light before our eyes possibly be ominous?

But Ye Fan and Pang Bo followed without saying a word.

Just a few hundred meters away from the bronze coffin, a massive superstorm swept up.

The noise of classmates came from behind me.

There were cries and shouts, and curses.

Qin Hao ignored him and continued on his way quickly.

He didn't actually need to worry about these things, but he couldn't stay.

Admittedly, he could save everyone.

But why do that?

He said long ago that everyone has the right to make their own choices.

No one is someone else's babysitter.

He doesn't, and doesn't need to, do that.

Soon, most of the students ran back towards Ye Fan, as the super tornado was already sweeping in.

"Wait, we don't have tornadoes here?"

A protective light barrier appeared around them, shielding them.

A group of people looked at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao said, "This is just a little bit of Buddhist power that was left over from these Buddhist artifacts."

Once the Buddha's power dissipates, the light barrier will disappear.

what?
Ye Fan suddenly said, "It seems there's only one way."

"What?" Pang Bo asked.

Ye Fan said, "Now that we have stepped onto the Ancient Star Road, and this has been confirmed as the path taken by the gods, we just need to follow the path of the gods forward."

After saying that, Ye Fan looked at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao nodded slightly, then turned around and walked towards the five-colored altar with seemingly slow but actually fast steps.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo immediately followed, and the other students, seeing that the light shield was indeed slowly dissipating, had no choice but to follow as well.

Ah!
A scream rang out, and a female classmate collapsed right next to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly took a few steps back.

Someone wanted to go and check, but Ye Fan turned around and quickly stopped him: "Don't move, it's dangerous."

The girl had a small hole in her forehead, from which blood was flowing continuously.

Zhou Yi quickly took several steps back and said, "We're not on Earth now, and we don't have a chance to take her back. So let's leave her here for now and get out of here."

"when."

With a muffled groan, a male student stumbled from the impact, and the Buddhist artifact in his hand made a sound.

The male student's face changed drastically: "Something is attacking me."

"Hurry, it's no longer safe here." Ye Fan remembered what Qin Hao had said earlier, that something ominous was about to happen.

Is this the ominous thing?

Wang Ziwen was also suddenly attacked at this moment, which made her stagger and swallow the words she wanted to say.

Everyone ran wildly, without stopping.

"Buddhist implements, Buddhist implements are the essence!" someone suddenly shouted.

"Ye Fan, Pang Bo, please save us."

"Has anyone found the Buddhist artifact?" someone shouted loudly.

Ye Fan was taken aback, but still stopped. Qin Hao, who was in front of him, only paused for a second, and then left without even turning around.

In reality, it wasn't that Qin Hao was cold-hearted or unwilling to save people.

Rather, these people also have flaws in their character.

They themselves remembered that Buddhist artifacts could save people, and then took the initiative to ask Ye Fan and Pang Bo for the artifacts.

Moreover, Qin Hao had warned before that there was a major disaster here.

Since they are all willing to come, it is their own choice.

Furthermore, Qin Hao had already reminded them before he left.

If they are willing to listen to Qin Hao, they can leave with him.

Then these deaths would not have occurred.

There were many reasons, but Qin Hao was unwilling to wait any longer.

He's not their nanny, there's no need for him to stay for these people.

Moreover, Ye Fan should also witness the darkness of human nature.

The Beidou star system is not a peaceful and safe place.

Ye Fan has excellent aptitude, but the existence of the Ancient Sacred Body determines his future, making it impossible for him to keep a low profile.

Since that's the case, let's get used to it in advance.

Seeing that Qin Hao was unwilling to stay, Ye Fan turned around and stayed instead.

He shielded his classmate with his body while intently watching.

"It's... a crocodile?"

Ye Fan was startled. He focused his gaze and the Bodhi seed gave him a cool power, allowing him to see clearly what was attacking his classmates.

It was a crocodile.

"Run, everyone! It's a demon, a crocodile demon!"

Crocodile Demon?
The group was astonished, and then even more terrified.

With the blessing of the Buddhist artifact, and having cultivated for many years, Ye Fan's physical body was already quite strong.

He also protected his classmates on several occasions.

But afterwards, a group of classmates stopped running and surrounded Ye Fan, asking him to protect them.

"Run! I can't protect so many people by myself."

"Then protect me." Li Xiaoman moved closer to Ye Fan. She had a Buddhist artifact on her, but its light had dimmed considerably and it was on the verge of collapse.

Ye Fan didn't know what to say. Recalling Qin Hao's actions, he had to admit that he had been too naive.

At that moment, hundreds and thousands of bolts of lightning erupted from Liu Yunzhi's body, completely covering him and illuminating the surrounding area as if it were daytime.

At this moment, Liu Yunzhi seemed to be wearing armor forged from lightning, exuding an incomparably fierce aura: "Die!"

He reached forward and killed a small crocodile.

Ye Fan had done this several times before.

But this time, Liu Yunzhi did it with even more momentum.

"Liu Yunzhi, save me."

"Liu Yunzhi, I knew you were amazing."

As the number of people around him gradually decreased, Ye Fan felt no resentment or unwillingness. He saw Liu Yunzhi's smug gaze sweep over him, passing over the prayer mat on his body.

That greed could not be concealed no matter what.

"Walk."

Ye Fan didn't wait for Liu Yunzhi to speak, but quickly said something and left with Pang Bo.

Liu Yunzhi was feeling quite smug at this moment, and he really wanted to turn back and charge again for a while.

The lightning armor he wore gave him unparalleled confidence; as long as he had it, he was invincible.

Ye Fan had already run a distance without looking back.

Liu Yunzhi thought for a while, but hadn't made up his mind yet. There were still a few classmates watching him, and he was planning to kill the crocodile himself.

The lightning receded completely, its electric rays subsided, and the Vajra Pestle in Liu Yunzhi's hand had become dull and lifeless.

"Let's go." Liu Yunzhi didn't know how he had just activated it, and he couldn't guarantee that he could activate it again later.

He couldn't guarantee he would survive if a crocodile came after him.

Therefore, he needs some scapegoats to protect him.

These students happened to be... (End of Chapter)
