Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

Chapter 2 Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin

The next morning, the group set off from the hotel to officially begin their ascent of Mount Tai.

The group consisted of young people who were at the peak of their physical strength, so their climbing speed was not slow.

Mount Tai, majestic and imposing, is revered as the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains and is known as the Number One Mountain under Heaven.

Along the way, various scenic spots, historical sites, and cliff inscriptions are truly breathtaking.

As evening fell, the group finally reached the summit of Mount Tai, where they gazed out at the view and exclaimed in awe.

Everyone felt refreshed and amazed by the steepness and grandeur of Mount Tai.

Luo Qianqiu was the only exception. Although he seemed to be admiring the beautiful scenery of Mount Tai, his gaze kept drifting towards the sky.

Finally, after about twenty minutes, several small black dots appeared on the horizon, and then quickly grew larger.

Luo Qianqiu's pupils contracted slightly, and he thought to himself.

"They're here!"

"Boom!"

A sound like muffled thunder resounded in the sky, and nine enormous creatures descended from the heavens, plummeting towards the mountaintop at an incredible speed.

At that moment, everyone on the mountaintop was stunned.

The reason was that the falling objects were nine enormous dragon corpses, and behind them was an ancient bronze coffin!

Such things do not conform to people's understanding.

After the initial shock, everyone let out a sharp explosion and scattered in all directions.

Chaos erupted instantly at the mountaintop, with stampedes occurring frequently. Some people fell to the ground and, before they could even get up, were trampled over by those behind them, letting out painful screams.

The path of cultivation is fraught with peril, and Luo Qianqiu had already received a harsh lesson before even officially embarking on it.

In his past life, when he read novels, he didn't feel much about this aspect. His attention was always focused on the protagonist, and the deaths of others were just cold words.

Only by experiencing it firsthand can one understand the dangers involved. If you are accidentally bumped into, trampled by the crowd, you will be injured even if you don't die. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to get out of bed for several months.

Luo Qianqiu was no exception; he was currently just a mortal.

Fortunately, he had a habit of exercising and was slightly stronger than the average person. He put his arm around Lin Jia and strode over to Ye Fan's side.

Even without opening the Sea of ​​Bitterness, Ye Fan's physique was extraordinary. He stood like a rock in the crowd, his steps never faltering.

Luo Qianqiu put his arm around Lin Jia and walked to Ye Fan's side, only then did he feel a little relieved, as his safety was somewhat guaranteed.

The others did not follow the crowd; they were all well aware of the dangers of being caught in the flow of people.

"boom!"

A dull thud resounded, the earth shook, the nine dragon corpses fell to the ground, rocks flew into the sky, and huge cracks appeared on the Jade Emperor Peak.

Mount Tai shook, and many rocks tumbled down the mountain with a rumbling sound, like thousands of horses galloping.

Another wave of danger struck, affecting many people who were smashed by rocks and left bloodied and mangled. Some even tumbled down the mountain and were clearly beyond saving.

The fragility of life was on full display at this moment, filling Luo Qianqiu with awe and instantly shattering his elation at obtaining the panel.

This is the real world; death can happen in an instant.

Perhaps it was a blessing from heaven, but no rocks fell where they were and no one was injured.

Soon, the tremors subsided, and the mountain stopped shaking. However, the crowd had already fled like frightened ants, disregarding everything and scrambling down the mountain. In the process, pushing and shoving, stampedes were inevitable.

"What is that? Is it really a dragon?" Among the group, Zhou Yi was the first to break the silence, staring blankly at the direction of the nine dragon corpses.

Ahead, nine hundred-meter-long dragon corpses lay across the mountaintop, their bodies pitch black, as if cast from molten iron, giving off a cold and ancient feeling.

They simply lay there, yet they created an unimaginable shock for everyone.

Luo Qianqiu was no exception. Although he knew about the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, the shock he felt when he saw it with his own eyes was still extremely intense.

The crowd looked at the nine dragon corpses with fear in their hearts, but their innate curiosity drove them forward.

"What's that?" Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

It was Li Xiaoman, Ye Fan's ex-girlfriend. At this moment, she pointed at the cracked ground, a look of surprise on her pretty face.

People looked in the direction she pointed and saw a round altar made of jade beneath the cracked ground.

"There's more than one, there are more over there!" someone exclaimed.

Not far away, there was a jade altar, which was entirely five-colored.

This discovery shocked everyone, because even without touching it, they knew very well that the material was extremely precious, and under the glow of the setting sun, it reflected a magnificent, glass-like color.

None of the so-called precious jades on the market can compare to it.

Just as everyone was in shock, suddenly with a bang, a huge rock that was already on the verge of collapse rolled down and crashed onto the altar.

This was like a domino effect, triggering a series of chain reactions.

The five-colored altar was triggered, emitting a hazy halo and shaking violently.

"Clang!"

The clanging of metal was deafening. Due to the vibration, the outer lid of the bronze coffin, pulled by the nine dragon corpses, was lifted off a corner and crashed onto the altar.

The ground trembled, and the group lost their footing and fell straight down, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, into the bronze coffin.

"Bang!" "Bang!"...

A dull thud echoed from the ancient coffin, followed by wails that rose and fell.

Luo Qianqiu felt a sharp pain start from his back and instantly spread throughout his body, causing him to groan involuntarily, and his arm holding Lin Jia lost its strength.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Jia asked anxiously, quickly getting off Luo Qianqiu.

She was unharmed when she fell from the ground because Luo Qianqiu was holding her in his arms; she only suffered a bruised arm.

"I'm fine." Luo Qianqiu gritted her teeth, her voice sounding like it was being squeezed out of her throat.

"How could you be alright? You fell from such a height and you were still holding me." Lin Jia's voice was already slightly choked with tears, and she felt somewhat guilty.

But at this moment, Luo Qianqiu had no mind to respond to her, because just then, a clear voice rang out in his mind.

"Ding!"

"We have sensed that the host has come into contact with extraordinary items and entered the world of cultivation. A tenfold willpower reward will be issued. Do you wish to accept?"

"accept!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Luo Qianqiu accepted.

With a loud bang, he felt as if his head was about to explode, his soul separating from his body. The excruciating pain that had been causing him pain disappeared from his senses like the receding tide.

No, it hasn't disappeared. The pain is still there, but for Luo Qianqiu, whose willpower has been strengthened tenfold, it's nothing anymore.

He stopped groaning, propped himself up with his hands, and Lin Jia was stunned.

"Don't be silly, I told you I'm fine." Luo Qianqiu chuckled, looking very relaxed, without the slightest hint of suppressed pain.

"You scared me to death." Lin Jia was relieved to know that Luo Qianqiu was really alright, but tears kept falling from her pretty phoenix eyes.

"Okay, I'm really fine. Don't cry your face." Luo Qianqiu comforted her.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar resounded, and a dazzling light shone through the open corner of the bronze coffin.

Luo Qianqiu's attention was drawn to the view. He looked up and saw a huge Tai Chi Bagua diagram stretching across the sky.

Around the Bagua diagram, space is distorted and light is hazy. Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, and Kan seem like mysterious codes, constantly rotating.

With the support of ten times the willpower, Luo Qianqiu's five senses were greatly enhanced, and he was even able to vaguely capture that melody.

He silently memorized it, intending to study it carefully after he had completed his cultivation.

"boom!"

The Bagua diagram rotated for a while and then roared once more. Then the yin and yang fish in the diagram separated, starlight shone, and an ancient road under the starry sky was revealed.

At the same time, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin shook, and the corner of the coffin lid that had been lifted suddenly slammed shut, causing everyone's expression to change drastically.

Before they could even cry out in alarm, they felt the bronze coffin shake violently, and many people lost their balance, staggering and falling into the ancient coffin.

The pitch-black space amplified people's fear, and some female students started crying, sobbing softly.

Luo Qianqiu's will was strengthened tenfold, and his senses became sharper. He gently patted Lin Jia, whose body was trembling, and gently pulled her into his arms.

Time passed, and after an unknown amount of time, the once calm bronze coffin began to tremble again, like an airplane flying through cold clouds at high altitude.

People who had already recovered exclaimed in surprise again.

"Wow, is someone finally coming to rescue us?" A slightly hoarse voice rang out, making many people look forward to it.

The speaker was Pang Bo. Just like in the original story, he arrived at the last minute and caused quite a stir when he counted the number of people.

Fortunately, he later proved himself to be Pang Bo, which dispelled everyone's fear.

"Bang!"

The coffin, pulled by nine dragons, lurched along the way, and finally, after one last loud tremor, it calmed down again.

"Snap!"

A piercing metallic sound rang out, the coffin lid was lifted open a crack, and light shone in. Everyone was overjoyed and rushed outside.

They thought the rescue had arrived, but the scene they saw after going outside left them speechless, as if they were statues of clay or wood.

This is not Mount Tai, but a completely unfamiliar place.

The earth was reddish-brown, as if it had been stained with blood over the years, and was full of desolation and emptiness.

As far as the eye could see, there was only desolation, with the occasional huge rock standing like a tombstone.

Luo Qianqiu's expression was solemn. He knew that this was no longer Mount Tai, and it was no longer even on Earth.

The place where the group is now is called Yinghuo in ancient times, which is now Mars.
