Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

Time passed slowly. According to Earth time, it was already late at night. After experiencing so much, everyone was exhausted and soon fell into a deep sleep.

But what awaited everyone was clearly not a pleasant dream; many people were trembling slightly even while asleep.

For this group of people, what happened yesterday was too terrible. Their companions died one after another in front of them, their bodies being devoured by the little crocodile. The scene was extremely bloody.

The existence of gods and demons is not just a legend, but a real phenomenon. Their existing understanding has been overturned and now needs to be reshaped.

The ancient bronze coffin was completely silent, and it was sailing quietly.

In the corner, Luo Qianqiu didn't sleep at all, fearing that the Crocodile Ancestor God was hiding something and trying to trick him. He was on high alert the whole time, and if anything went wrong, he would concentrate his will to resist.

This process was very difficult, because as the divine embryo's erosion deepened, he could clearly feel that a voice had appeared in his mind, vying for control of his body.

It's like an extra personality has appeared in your body; it's a subtle and gradual influence.

Luo Qianqiu did not stop it, allowing the "thought" to erode, and silently waited for the opportunity to arrive.

Finally, after about three hours, he felt the time was right and began to browse the memories within the divine embryo without making a sound.

At this moment, Luo Qianqiu and the divine embryo reached an unprecedented tacit understanding, both striving towards their own goals, each busy with their own affairs, without disturbing each other, and everyone having a bright future.

The Crocodile Ancestor's Divine Embryo, as a wisp of the Great Sage's primordial spirit, contains an incredibly vast amount of memories; even a cursory glance is enough to leave one dazzled.

Many of these memories were useless to Luo Qianqiu, so he chose to skip them.

His goal is the ancient cultivation scriptures and knowledge within the Crocodile Ancestor's embryo. As long as he obtains these two things, his adventure will be worthwhile.

Ancient scriptures are the foundation of the path of cultivation, the origin of boundless power, and the gateway to unlocking the potential within the human body, allowing this power to return to oneself. The knowledge of cultivation, on the other hand, allows Luo Qianqiu to understand what cultivation truly is.

In the original story, Ye Fan and Pang Bo entered the Lingxu Cave Heaven and spent several months figuring out the basics of cultivation before they began to try cultivating.

Luo Qianqiu didn't want to waste these months. Since he had decided to compete, he had to leave everyone behind from the very beginning and be far ahead.

Therefore, when browsing through the memories of the Crocodile Ancestor, he paid special attention to the basic parts, while he paid little attention to the more profound laws of the Dao.

Although he is currently in a state similar to that of a divine embryo with two souls, he can almost make the other's memories his own after just one browsing.

However, the crocodile ancestor's accumulation over thousands of years was simply too vast. If he were to become greedy and accept it all, his soul would be the first to collapse.

Therefore, he must resist temptation and control his spending.

Thanks to this clarity, Luo Qianqiu grasped the basics of cultivation very quickly, achieving in just half an hour what others had accomplished in several years of hard work.

Then, his focus shifted, and he began to search for scriptures.

His initial understanding of cultivation was sufficient; now he needed a powerful ancient scripture.

Over thousands of years, Crocodile Ancestor has acquired numerous ancient scriptures through both overt and covert theft, each one being profound and extensive, including some written by sages.

Scriptures such as the Ziyang Scripture, the Haotian Scripture, and the Dongyuan Scripture are all powerful cultivation techniques at the level of ancient sages.

Luo Qianqiu accepted them all without hesitation, only stopping when he felt his head getting heavy.

But he didn't stop there; he continued browsing.

The magnificent history spanning thousands of years unfolded before his eyes like a vast epic, presented in a slideshow-like manner.

As Luo Qianqiu watched the world change and dynasties rise and fall, he couldn't help but sigh at the cruelty of time.

Time, like a knife, cuts down the proud and arrogant; on the path to immortality, one can only sigh at the alluring beauty!

Cultivators possess the power to see through heaven and earth; moving mountains and filling seas is as easy as turning one's hand for a great cultivator.

However, there are always times when they are powerless.

Time is the most powerful enemy of all living things. No matter how talented or brilliant you are, in the end, you will all fall and decay in the passage of time...

Luo Qianqiu gathered his complicated thoughts and continued reading. Soon, his memories reached the time when the Crocodile Ancestor was four thousand years old, which was also a turning point in its life.

At this time, Crocodile Ancestor was already a Great Sage, a top expert in the starry sky, with astonishing combat power and demonic might that shook many star fields.

Its immense power made it fearless of anyone, so the Crocodile Ancestor did something crazy.

It suppressed several disciples of the Great Thunderclap Temple, then forcibly searched their consciousness and plundered the supreme scripture, the "Shakyamuni Sutra".

Such an action was tantamount to slapping the face of the Great Thunderclap Temple, and the entire starry sky trembled.

The Great Thunderclap Temple was enraged, and several powerful figures were dispatched to suppress the Crocodile Ancestor and cleanse its ferocity with Buddhist scriptures.

But since Crocodile Ancestor dared to do such a crazy thing, it must have something to rely on. It escaped from the pursuit of the three Great Sages of the Great Thunder Temple several times, leaving them with no way to deal with it.

But the Crocodile Ancestor's triumph didn't last long, because it encountered its stern father—Shakyamuni!

As the saying goes, even the Buddha has a wrathful expression. If the ancient scriptures were forcibly taken from the Great Thunder Temple and the perpetrator were allowed to go unpunished, the temple would lose face.

The final result was obvious: in front of Shakyamuni, even the Crocodile Ancestor, with his great supernatural powers, was no match for him and was directly suppressed and taken back to the Great Thunder Temple.

After browsing through this memory, Luo Qianqiu couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, admiring the crocodile ancestor's audacity.

How brave must this beast have been to dare to provoke an unorthodox enlightened being? Does it not know what reverence is?

In other words, Shakyamuni was compassionate and only saved people without killing them. If it were any other unorthodox enlightened being, even if Crocodile Ancestor had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough to kill him.

However, all of this was irrelevant to Luo Qianqiu. He pondered for a moment, then became overjoyed.

The Shakyamuni Sutra, a scripture created by an unconventional enlightened being, is almost comparable to the Imperial Scriptures. What an incredible opportunity this is!

"The Crocodile Ancestor is amazing! Silverwing, so incredibly Silverwing!" Luo Qianqiu was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Cultivating ancient scriptures was Luo Qianqiu's biggest headache. He was originally prepared to compromise and cultivate with an ancient scripture first, and then switch to the Emperor Scripture if he had the opportunity to obtain it in the future.

But who would have thought that within the memories of the divine embryo, there was a supreme immortal scripture comparable to an imperial scripture, which completely resolved Luo Qianqiu's worries.

As for the Shakyamuni Sutra being a Buddhist scripture, so what? As long as it can make him stronger, he'll practice it even if it's a demonic scripture.

Inside the ancient bronze coffin, most of the people had already woken up, each one lifeless, and it took them a long time to accept that everything that had happened yesterday was real, and not a dream.

Luo Qianqiu opened his eyes, glanced around, and then calmly looked away.

The bronze coffin was completely dark, so no one noticed that Luo Qianqiu's eyes were filled with a terrifying killing intent, and the edges of his eyes were bloodshot.
