All heavens, let's begin with the Divine Elephant's Prison-Suppressing Power!

Chapter 5: The Arrival of Beidou!

"Hahaha." Yang An laughed loudly, "If I were you, I wouldn't touch these two things."

"The Great Thunderclap Temple suppresses a peerless demon. The plaque and the Buddha statue must not be moved lightly. Without them, that peerless demon would have broken free long ago!"

"A peerless demon?!"

Ye Fan and Pang Bo were stunned and broke out in a cold sweat.

Li Xiaoman, Lin Jia, Zhou Yi, Zhang Ziling, and the others were no different, feeling uneasy and unsure whether to take the Buddhist treasure in their hands or put it down.

"Don't worry, the signboard is still there, it shouldn't be that easy to get out of trouble."

"As long as you don't go too far and tear down the temple, I don't think Shakyamuni would blame you."

Yang An chuckled and made a couple of jokes before turning back. If his prediction was correct, Crocodile Ancestor should eventually escape, since everyone had already disrupted the Great Thunderclap Temple's plan, but they had bought themselves some time.

"Don't leave yet."

His voice rang out, and everyone snapped out of their daze and immediately started running, putting all their strength into it.

"Wait for us." Ye Fan was also terrified.

Li Xiaoman followed closely behind. She was in good physical condition. Her beautiful eyes looked around, and for some reason, a chill swept over her, making her feel cold on the back. She dared not stay for a moment.

The silent and awe-inspiring Great Thunder Temple behind them now seemed like a demon's lair to them, as if it were about to extend a demonic claw and drag them all into the abyss.

"Boom!"

The changes on Mars were extremely rapid; a massive red sandstorm rose up once again, flying towards the group.

Yang An, who was leading the way, sensed a hint of danger emanating from the bronze coffin, and his expression became serious. However, they were getting closer to the bronze coffin, and the five-colored altar was more than a thousand meters away from the ruins of the Great Thunderclap Temple.

The group acted swiftly, and before the Martian storm had even passed, they had all entered the giant bronze coffin.

Only the Great Thunder Temple, which now only has a plaque remaining, stood unmoved amidst the Martian storm, even emitting bursts of golden light. Thus I heard, the air seemed to be filled with the chanting of Zen, and golden lotuses bloomed.

The group entered the giant bronze coffin. Those who hadn't followed them out earlier were envious of the Buddhist treasures in their hands.

"I want to go home..." a girl cried softly. She didn't covet Buddhist treasures; she just wanted to go home.

However, they dared not ask Yang An, who seemed to know something, because they were terrified by his previous ruthless killing.

After the initial excitement of obtaining the treasure, Ye Fan calmed down and looked at Yang An with a sincere expression. "Yang An, you must be a legendary cultivator, following in the footsteps of the sages and embarking on the path of cultivation to the other side of the starry sky."

"But we are just ordinary people who were accidentally caught up in this. I don't know if you have the ability to send us back. If you can, I, Ye Fan, will be eternally grateful."

"I would like to help you, but I don't have the ability right now."

Yang An shook his head. Crossing the starry sky would be difficult even for someone at the Life-Seizing Realm, requiring a cultivation level of the Legendary Ninth Transformation, comparable to the Immortal Platform and Dao-Slaying Kings. How could he, a mere Qi Cultivator at the fourth level, possibly accomplish that?

The light in the eyes of many who were secretly watching this place dimmed.

Even these mysterious and powerful cultivators couldn't do it, let alone them.

"Boom!"

Outside, a Martian storm raged, and the five-colored altar shone brightly once more. Countless runes converged to form the Eight Trigrams. People curiously peered out from inside the bronze coffin. Who could ignore the nine dragons pulling the coffin across the starry sky?

But at this moment, a deafening roar came from underground of the Great Thunderclap Temple, shattering the clouds and sending billowing black smoke into the sky, like a ferocious beast that blotted out the sun, cruel and eerie.

"It's a peerless demon suppressed beneath the Great Thunderclap Temple!"

Ye Fan instantly recalled what Yang An had just mentioned.

Thick black clouds covered the sky and blocked out the sun. In the darkness, two eerie red lights rapidly expanded, and two crimson eyes, as red as the sun, appeared, gazing at the giant bronze coffin.

"Whoosh!" With just a glance, the Buddhist treasures in everyone's hands were touched one by one, and various lights illuminated the inside of the bronze coffin. Ye Fan's body was also like a slideshow, full of colors.

There's no other reason than that he's taken too many Buddhist treasures.

Yang An stood there without fear, meeting the gaze of the two crimson demonic eyes in the dark clouds with a hint of interest.

Great Sage Crocodile Ancestor!

I wonder which level in the Qigong system it corresponds to, and which of the nine levels of the Great Sage?
After the ninth level of Qigong comes the nine times of life-threatening challenges, followed by the nine legendary transformations, the nine stages of the Great Sage, the nine ranks of the Heavenly Rank, and the nine levels of shattering immortality and mythology...

The legendary Nine Transformations is probably no match for the Great Sage Who Can Destroy a Star and Annihilate a Region, Yang An pondered in his heart. His Qi cultivation was still shallow, and he had not come into contact with the Heaven-Covering Technique, so he could not deal with it.

"Bang!"

No matter how furiously the Crocodile Ancestor roared.

Amidst a tremor, the corpses of nine black dragons, as large as mountains, swayed, the five-colored altar glowed, evolving into a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation, and a clearly visible ancient road appeared in the starry sky, with the giant bronze coffin slowly moving forward.

This is the most incredible and magnificent object in the entire universe of Shrouding the Heavens, and even the most mysterious object in the trilogy. Once the Nine Dragons Pull the Coffin Opens, no one can shake it, not even the Great Emperor or the Ancient Emperor.

The crocodile ancestor could only rage helplessly; it had no chance to touch the people inside the bronze coffin.

Although it only delayed the crocodile ancestor for a moment, it eventually escaped, but undoubtedly many things were changed.

As Yang An said, the time traveler himself represents the greatest change in destiny.

At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind: could this change in fate be used to refine the supreme divine power 'Wheel of Fate' recorded in the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique, that great power that controls destiny?

"boom!"

As the nine dragons pulled the coffin away, the people inside the bronze coffin sensed the danger receding and began to relax.

"This is the divine Bodhi seed, which can sense all things in heaven and earth and capture the invisible Dao rhythm. This bronze coffin has its own secrets. Ye Fan and Pang Bo, you two just protected me, can you help me comprehend some of them?"

After leaving Yinghuo, Yang An sat in front of the bronze coffin and beckoned Ye Fan and Pang Bo to come forward.

He took the Bodhi seeds without hesitation; the advantage of being the first to act was very important, as these things did indeed play a significant role in his cultivation in the early stages.

But what happens after mastering the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique?

"Heh," Yang An chuckled. He wouldn't even blink if asked to send one to everyone in the Shrouding the Heavens universe.

"Thank you very much." Ye Fan said, pulling Pang Bo to sit down quickly. Yang An was a cultivator, so if he said there was a secret behind it, it must be true.

The three sat before the coffin. Yang An held the Bodhi seed in his hand and activated it with his true energy. The Bodhi seed emitted a faint green light that enveloped his body, and a little bit of it also landed on Ye Fan and Pang Bo.

"The way of heaven is to make up for the excess of damage and make up for the deficiency..."

A mysterious celestial voice echoed, and Ye Fan and Pang Bo were instantly immersed in it, sharing this opportunity.

The others could only watch with envy, even if they wanted to befriend Yang An, they didn't know where to start.

Yang An's earlier act of killing someone without a word had completely intimidated them, and even the cunning Li Xiaoman dared not speak to him casually.

For a moment, the ancient coffin fell silent.

Then a violent tremor shook the bronze coffin, which crashed to the ground, its lid opened, sunlight streamed in, and fresh air wafted in.

"We've arrived at Beidou."

Yang An opened his eyes and smelled the scent of soil and the fragrance of flowers and plants. This natural environment was completely different from the rusty smell of the Martian air.

Almost without hesitation, everyone rushed out of the bronze coffin. Some even knelt on the ground, and when they saw the light again, they almost cried.

　My new book needs your support! I'm begging you!
