Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became alert. Zhou Yi, Ye Fan, and Pang Bo stepped forward and surrounded Liu Chao.

"puff!"

Flesh and blood exploded, and a dark light burst out of his chest, just like the alien in the movie.

Ye Fan reacted extremely quickly, raising the ancient lamp in his hand. The Buddhist artifact sensed the approach of the extraordinary creature, and the wick ignited with flames, which were intense and dazzling, surging forward.

The little crocodile let out a mournful scream, but it only lasted for a moment before being burned to ashes, which scattered into the bronze coffin.

With the danger averted, no one dared to relax for a moment. Since one small divine crocodile had infiltrated the ancient coffin, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be more.

Only after searching the entire area and finding nothing did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

A few doubts flashed in Luo Qianqiu's eyes. He clearly remembered that when Ye Fan was tracking down Liu Yunzhi and the others in the original story, he saw more than a dozen dead baby crocodiles in the tiger's den on the edge of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

They somehow followed the group all the way to Beidou, and eventually died of old age in the tiger's den.

However, now, after searching every corner of the bronze coffin, no abnormalities were found, and the Buddhist artifacts remained silent, proving that there was indeed no little divine crocodile inside the bronze coffin.

"Could it really be like the alien, where the larvae parasitize the human body, grow by relying on blood and qi, and eventually break out of the body?" Luo Qianqiu speculated.

There is no other explanation.

Regardless, there's no need to worry about the little crocodile's threat for now. As for the divine thought, it's not in a good state right now, so it probably won't make any more moves.

Since that's the case, there's no need to provoke him. Let's pretend we don't know anything about it and keep to ourselves.

The best course of action now is to safely reach the ancient star of the Big Dipper and embark on the path of cultivation. Once we become strong enough, we will have no fear of any demons or monsters.

"Did you hear that?" Ye Fan suddenly asked, his eyes fixed on the small coffin in the center.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one heard a sound.

Luo Qianqiu knew what was going on, but he ignored it. Without the Bodhi Seed, he couldn't possibly hear the "Mending Heaven Scripture," so he just glanced at it and then looked away.

Compared to the "Mending Heaven Scripture", he is now more curious about the Crocodile Ancestor Divine Embryo within his body.

Luo Qianqiu could clearly sense that a 'thought' was trying to erode his brain and take over his body.

However, due to the tenfold increase in willpower, his spirit was incredibly strong and firmly held the upper hand. That 'thought' was suppressed, and its progress was extremely slow, even imperceptible.

The reason why the primordial spirit embryo was so powerful on Mars was because the Crocodile Ancestor was right beside it. Now, without the Crocodile Ancestor's blessing, the divine embryo is like a rootless duckweed, posing little threat.

In fact, if handled properly, the divine fetus might even be a great opportunity.

A crazy idea suddenly popped into Luo Qianqiu's mind.

The Primordial Spirit Embryo Seal, also known as a wisp of primordial spirit imprint, contains a portion of the split individual's memories.

Crocodile Ancestor, an ancient demon, a Great Sage-level being personally suppressed by Shakyamuni, what treasures are contained within its memories?

If Luo Qianqiu could steal the ancient scriptures on cultivation and the understanding of the Great Dao, it would be no different from obtaining a treasure.

Of course, opportunities and risks go hand in hand. Taking the initiative to contact the divine fetus is no different from walking a tightrope at an altitude of 10,000 meters. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces.

does it worth?

Luo Qianqiu couldn't help but question his own heart. The benefits of being born with the Crocodile Ancestor's Divine Embryo were obvious, but he also had a power panel. As long as he stayed calm and didn't act recklessly in the early stages and was careful in everything he did, rising to power wouldn't be difficult.

As the saying goes, flowing water doesn't compete for the first spot, but for the continuous flow. Is it really necessary for him to be so eager to become stronger?

Luo Qianqiu struggled in his heart. It is the nature of all living beings to seek advantage and avoid harm. If there is no choice, then so be it, but when there is a choice, who would act regardless of the risks?

You must understand that dancing with demons, if you make a mistake, the consequences will not be as simple as just being injured; they could very well mean certain death.

After an unknown period of silence, Luo Qianqiu's evil intentions began to surface.

"Why bother with cultivation if you're afraid of this and that? Wouldn't it be better to stay on Earth, make a steady living, and become a billionaire?"

On the path of cultivation, if you are fast at one step, you will be fast at every step. If you are afraid of everything, you will eventually become a useless person who relies on the panel for everything.

How far can someone without a strong core go on the path of cultivation?

The emperor's son was born into a privileged family, with a bloodline that far surpassed his peers. He had abundant resources and powerful subordinates, starting with a winning hand. Yet, in the end, he met his demise.

As for Huang and Ye, one was desecrated at the start, while the other was better off with a bachelor's degree. Yet, in the end, they both surpassed everything.

Looking back on their lives, every time they did something beyond the limits and beyond the reach of ordinary people, weren't they risking certain death?

They never backed down, but faced the challenges head-on. Each ordeal ultimately became the resources for growth, illuminating the path ahead.

It was these experiences that made them so strong, fearless of any hardship or obstacle.

Everyone has two shoulders and one head; if others can do it, why can't Luo Qianqiu?

Huang and Ye possess great fortune, have the support of Liu Shen and Ruthless Man, and they also have their own data panels. What is there to be afraid of?

We must do it!

In the dim bronze coffin, Luo Qianqiu's eyes were bright, as if two flames were burning away all hesitation and unease.

Of course, Luo Qianqiu was not a reckless man. The reason he dared to take a gamble was because he saw an opportunity, not because he was tired of living.

Firstly, the Crocodile Ancestor had been suppressed for thousands of years, and its strength was only a fraction of what it was at its peak. The strength of this wisp of its primordial spirit imprint was limited.

This is the perfect timing!

Secondly, the Crocodile Ancestor and the Divine Embryo are separated by vast distances. The Divine Embryo is like a rootless duckweed. Even if he lets the other party erode it, it will still take a process.

This is a geographical advantage!

Thirdly, due to the existence of the panel, Luo Qianqiu's willpower increased tenfold. Even when facing the Crocodile Ancestor, he could maintain his clarity for a moment. Even if there was an element of the opponent's carelessness, it still shows how strong his willpower was.

This is about human factors!

He has the right timing, the right place, and the right people. If he still hesitates, then he will truly be refusing what Heaven has given him and will suffer the consequences.

"If Li Xiaoman could maintain some clarity despite the long-term erosion of the divine embryo, there's no reason I can't," Luo Qianqiu muttered to himself, as if encouraging himself.

He immediately relaxed and allowed the Crocodile Ancestor's Divine Embryo to erode him.

"Well!"

Almost simultaneously, Luo Qianqiu felt his head sink, and a 'thought' that did not belong to him was slowly eroding his consciousness.

This feeling is like having a bad cold; when you shake your head, you feel like your brain is swaying.

Luo Qianqiu concentrated for a moment, focused his will, and tried to expel that 'thought,' and found it was not difficult; his mind gradually returned to clarity.

At this point, he was completely at ease and stopped resisting, and that 'thought' once again took advantage of the situation to invade.
