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

What just happened was so sudden, it was beyond people's imagination.

But the facts were right in front of them, and everyone stared wide-eyed, seemingly unable to believe it.

"This……"

With the nine dragon corpses still before his eyes, Ye Fan had no choice but to accept the reality before him.

Moreover, his physical strength, honed through standing meditation, far surpasses that of ordinary people, and his five senses are also more acute.

What just happened was definitely not an illusion.

"This is... a dragon corpse?"

"Dragons really do exist?"

Ye Fan heard his classmates' sentiments.

What just happened was too fast and too shocking.

They did not panic and flee, so they remained together.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor Peak calmed down. Although they were all lying on the ground, there were no major casualties.

Ye Fan noticed that several classmates were clutching their arms, indicating they had some bruises.

But the shock on their faces could not be erased no matter what.

Ye Fan saw Lin Jia's shock and also saw the disbelief on Li Xiaoman's face.

These are things I may never forget in my entire life.

"Let's hurry down the mountain," Lin Jia suggested, trembling.

The other students also realized what was happening and nodded in agreement, feeling that they should leave immediately.

No one wanted to stay even a second longer.

But Ye Fan was deep in thought.

Why were nine dragons pulling a coffin?

Why did it land on Mount Tai?
Why did it land right in front of me?
My master said he is good at observing qi, and I have recently been blessed with good fortune. My Ziwei Palace is very bright, and I have boundless good luck.

Is this my good fortune?

As he pondered this, he and the others headed towards the foot of Mount Tai.

"Also, where is Master Qin Hao?"

Qin Hao once said that he wanted to hitch a ride.

Is the ride-sharing service literally a ride-sharing service, or is it just about trying to get some good luck?
"what is that?"

Li Xiaoman suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, and everyone looked over.

They discovered that half a jade piece was exposed beneath the cracked ground, gleaming in the setting sun.

Curiosity is innate in humans. Despite their fear, they took a few steps forward and saw a large crack in front of them, with a corner of a round altar peeking out from underneath.

The broken half of the jade piece was displayed on it.

"It looks like a jade book?" Ye Fan murmured to himself.

"How could this be?" Lin Jia exclaimed. "Could something be buried down there?"

Ye Fan observed that the round altar was not large, but simple and ancient, made of five-colored strange soil, and filled with the aura of time.

"Look, there's more ahead." Wang Ziwen, who was standing at the front, looked surprised and took a step forward, getting closer to the large crack.

"Ye Fan, do you know what that is?"

Li Xiaoman suddenly approached Ye Fan.

Everyone else seemed terrified along the way, but Ye Fan remained calm.

Li Xiaoman, who had been paying close attention to Ye Fan along the way, even noticed that when they were all unsteady on their feet, after the Jade Emperor Peak calmed down, only Ye Fan was able to stand steadily.

As always, he remained a prominent figure.

This was true before graduation, and it remains true after graduation.

Her foreign boyfriend, Cade, was still feeling jealous, but Li Xiaoman paid no attention to him at all.

She became interested in Ye Fan.

"Fengshan".

"what?"

"The Fengshan ceremony," Ye Fan repeated. "That's all I can think of."

Could it be that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of ancient times really performed the Fengshan ceremony here?

Maybe it's true?

Ye Fan couldn't resist approaching the five-colored altar.

"Let's leave quickly," Zhou Yi said.

It is not advisable to linger here, although it is obvious that there are endless secrets here. The nine enormous dragon corpses that they can explore now may lead everyone to a different future.

But their fear of the unknown led them to decide to leave first.

"Let's go." Zhou Yi took one last look, then forced himself to look away and turned to leave.

The other students were in the same situation, but Lin Jia had gotten too close, and when she turned around, her foot slipped and she was about to fall.

"Be careful." Ye Fan was not far away. Although he didn't like his classmate's initial arrogance followed by obsequiousness towards him.

But they were classmates after all, and he couldn't just stand by and watch his classmate die.

Lin Jia was rescued, but a large rock beneath her feet rolled down into the deep pit.

Qin Hao was not far away, watching what was happening without interfering.

Ye Fan's path only begins to unfold today.

A group of people tumbled down the five-colored altar, but Qin Hao showed no intention of making a move.

This is both a crisis and an opportunity.

It all depends on whether they can seize the opportunity.

When Chen Lie's jade pieces and stone slabs on the altar suddenly became crystal clear, all the ancient characters engraved on them shone brightly, and the entire large altar emanated a blend of light.

Ancient characters flickered and floated in mid-air, forming a giant Bagua (Eight Trigrams).

Qin Hao stared at the Tai Chi Bagua diagram in mid-air, his eyes gleaming.

"This Tai Chi Bagua diagram contains a great deal of knowledge, including time and space, light, and the concepts of Qian, Kun, Li, and Kan."

He felt that his practice of the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram was also progressing rapidly and improving.

"Perhaps, I will be able to refine the physical Yin-Yang Taiji diagram soon. At that time, it may become one of my natal magic weapons."

At that moment, the two yin-yang fish of the Tai Chi diagram trembled and slowly opened a gap, connecting to the distant starry sky.

"The Ancient Road to the Stars has finally opened."

Qin Hao said something and then stepped out.

"Master."

Ye Fan had been searching for Qin Hao, but had not found him.

At this moment, Qin Hao took a step and appeared right in front of him.

He was surprised, and at the same time realized that the master he had taken on seemed to be no ordinary person.

Perhaps they've been in this vicinity all along, but they just couldn't see them.

Although he had just embarked on his cultivation journey, Ye Fan knew that cultivation was not a simple matter.

This mysterious method is just one aspect.

"Mm." Qin Hao nodded.

Ye Fan asked, "Master, what is this?"

"Ancient Road Under the Stars".

He had just opened his mouth when Ye Fan hadn't even asked what the Ancient Starry Sky Road was.

The massive dragon corpse of the nine dragons began to tremble, and then the huge bronze coffin made a loud clang and shook violently.

A group of female students screamed loudly, and some shouted, "What do we do?"

"We want to go home."

Ye Fan also wanted to ask, "Master, what should we do?"

Qin Hao pondered for a moment and then smiled, “The Ancient Starry Sky Road is a dangerous road, but it also contains tremendous opportunities.”

Once you embark on spiritual practice, moving mountains and overturning seas will be a piece of cake.

If anyone doesn't want to go, tell me now, and I'll get you out within five seconds.

Five seconds later…

"What will happen in five seconds?" someone asked.

"Two seconds have passed," Qin Hao said instead of answering.

"I……"

"me too."

Several people acted decisively, and Qin Hao immediately took action to send them away.

A yin-yang symbol flashed beneath his feet, engulfing the group and transporting them directly to the foot of Mount Tai.

As for the others?
He was still somewhat hesitant at this moment, considering what Qin Hao had just said: "Embark on the path of cultivation, and you will be able to move mountains and overturn seas."

Who doesn't want that?

Then, they witnessed a yin-yang symbol appear beneath Qin Hao's feet, which then sent the students away.

At least, they can no longer see those classmates.

This?
“Me too.” Another student raised their hand.

But Qin Hao shook his head: "Five seconds have passed, and there's nothing I can do now. There's no need to resist anymore."

The moment the words were spoken, the bronze coffin shook again, almost causing the lid to fall off.

An inexplicable, invisible force pulled at everyone.

Qin Hao did not resist, but instead took a step forward and stepped into the bronze coffin.

"what!"

Although Qin Hao reminded them, it seemed too late, or rather, his reminder wasn't clear enough.

At such a tense moment, Qin Hao's reminder was too abrupt; none of them understood it.

A tremor came, and Qin Hao felt the bronze coffin begin to move.

For a moment, he even felt a shift in space.

"It seems the Ancient Starry Road has begun."

Qin Hao looked up at the inscription on the bronze coffin.

He knew that this was a secret technique, and if he could memorize it all, it would broaden his horizons.

"Master, what's going on?" Ye Fan finally realized what was happening and immediately asked.

The others didn't know why Ye Fan suddenly called him "Master," but they all looked over.

The bronze coffin was dark inside, filled with a cold chill.

Ye Fan held up his phone, and the faint yellow light from it barely dispelled the darkness.

A group of people looked over, seemingly wanting to get the truth out of Qin Hao.

"The Ancient Starry Sky Road, as the name suggests, is a road that leads to the starry sky."

"Impossible!" Zhou Yi directly denied Qin Hao's words and said loudly, "Everyone, don't panic, and don't listen to the instigation of those with ulterior motives."

Although we are unable to contact the outside world, such an astonishing thing happened on Mount Tai.

The outside world will definitely find out immediately and organize rescue teams to come. Don't panic.

Qin Hao had to admit that Zhou Yi was indeed very good at organizing things.

In addition, he comes from an outstanding family, has good abilities, and is young and wealthy.

It's no wonder that someone like that becomes the focus of attention in the class.

Ye Fan could also do it, but he's more low-key than Zhou Yi.

Starting today, it will be impossible for Ye Fan to keep a low profile.

Even the Ancient Sacred Body can no longer keep a low profile.

If Ye Fan wants to rise to prominence, the massive resources required will leave him no room to keep a low profile.

"Master, where is the path to the starry sky?" Ye Fan asked, ignoring Zhou Yi's words.

Before Qin Hao could answer, Zhou Yi preemptively accused Ye Fan: "Ye Fan, you who-knows-where-this-master, don't spout nonsense here."

The students are already panicked, do you want to spread panic here?

"Do you really want your students to break down before you're happy?"

Zhou Yi didn't know whether he was blaming Ye Fan or comforting himself.

"Don't worry, everyone, we'll be out soon."

“Zhou Yi is right. Everyone, don’t panic. We will be safe.” Wang Ziwen also agreed with Zhou Yi.

After the two spoke, the others did indeed calm down considerably. Lin Jia also kept echoing their words, as if what had happened between her and Ye Fan earlier had not occurred.

She still trusted Zhou Yi more.

Or rather, they subconsciously believed more in the fact that they could get out safely.

Liu Yunzhi gripped his hands tightly, his knuckles turning white.

Li Xiaoman sat not far away, communicating with Kade in English.

At the same time, his eyes kept glancing at Ye Fan.

For some reason, Li Xiaoman just felt that what Qin Hao said was true.

And Ye Fan is Qin Hao's apprentice, right?

"Have you forgotten about that Tai Chi Bagua diagram, the pattern that appeared under that gentleman's feet, and the students who disappeared?"

Li Xiaoman suddenly spoke up.

The entire room suddenly fell silent.

"It's just a cover-up."

Zhou Yi stubbornly retorted, even accusing Li Xiaoman: "Don't you dare aid and abet the evildoer. I think it was some kind of magic trick to hide our classmates. Yes, that's it. What's your name? I think your surname is Qin? Mr. Qin, you'd better release us right away, or my father..."

Qin Hao was speechless. This guy really never forgets his powerful backer.

"Unfortunately, your real-life father probably won't be able to influence this ancient starry road."

what?
"I believe in Ye Fan, so I also believe in Mr. Qin."

A voice suddenly sounded.

"Who?"

Everyone panicked for a moment, then began to count the number of people.

"One more?"

There are 33 students in their class. The three students who went abroad to study have all arrived, but five students have not yet arrived.

They each had their own reasons.

"1, 2, 27, 28. How can there be 28 people?"

A group of people were greatly shocked.

There were originally 28 students present, but with Li Xiaoman's foreign boyfriend, Cade, and the sudden appearance of Qin Hao, the total number became 30.

However, when Qin Hao asked them questions earlier, three students decisively said they wanted to leave, and Qin Hao sent them away.

Then it should be 27 people.

Why is there an extra person here?

“It’s me, Pang Bo.”

The fat man stood up and spoke.

"Pang, Pang Bo? Didn't you not come? Are you a human or a ghost?"

"Ah! A ghost!"

Pang Bo tried his best to explain, and then talked about many things from his university days.

But people still couldn't believe it.

So much has happened today, it's all so bizarre, they can't believe it.

Ye Fan had basically come to believe Pang Bo: "I believe he is Pang Bo."

Ye Fan said firmly, and strode over to his side, giving him a tight hug.

Then, Ye Fan turned to Qin Hao and said, "Master, what do you think?"

"Didn't you already confirm it?"

Qin Hao laughed.

Touched, Pang Bo explained, "At first, I had some family matters to attend to, so I couldn't come to the gathering."

But then I heard that everyone was coming to Mount Tai, and my family issues were finally resolved.

I rushed over immediately, but when I arrived, you were already up the mountain. I took the cable car up…

Pang Bo offered a brief explanation, then turned and asked, "Did any of you bring water? I'm dying of thirst."

Ye Fan took out a bottle of water from his bag. After what had happened, most of the other people's belongings had been lost.

Only Ye Fan himself kept his personal belongings.

“We need to save ourselves,” Li Xiaoman said. “I always feel something’s not right; those things are all too fantastical. Also, Mr. Qin, could you tell me about this Ancient Starry Road?”

"Li Xiaoman!" Zhou Yi shouted loudly, but Li Xiaoman did not pay any attention to Zhou Yi's tone. Instead, she said, "The facts are right in front of us. Nine dragons pulling a coffin, such a thing has happened."

The Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai has already been confirmed, so are you still going to turn a blind eye?

Don't those three students who were sent away prove something?

When the three students were mentioned, everyone realized, "That's right, Mr. Qin can see people off, right? Mr. Qin, please see us off."

"I want to go home."

"Mr. Qin..."

Zhou Yi also realized what was happening and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Qin, only you have this kind of method right now."

I believe you will heed public opinion and send everyone back.

Isn't it said that with great power comes great responsibility?

Mr. Qin, thank you for your hard work.

Qin Hao was speechless; he hadn't even mentioned the benefits.

Did you just put me through the hardship?
It's really hard to accept such high praise.

Qin Hao scoffed, and Zhou Yi's expression immediately turned sour: "What? Doesn't Mr. Qin think so?"

Qin Hao said, "What do you think the Ancient Starry Sky Road is? I've already said before that I only have five seconds. After those five seconds, I'm powerless to do anything."

Besides, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is already far from Earth. Do you want to be sent into space?

I don't believe you have the ability to survive in space.

As he spoke, Qin Hao glanced at Zhou Yi and said, "Moreover, the destination of this journey is a vast world of cultivation."

There, great power resides within oneself, and strength determines everything.

Slaughter, treasure hunting, and actions all happen in an instant.

I advise you not to use these morally manipulative tactics.

Those sects, holy lands, powerful families, and even demon races or ancient races won't give you a chicken leg just because you flatter them.

"you!"

Zhou Yi was enraged by Qin Hao's mockery.

But considering Qin Hao's strange methods, he didn't dare to make a move.

Fortunately, someone pulled him back, and after a few moments of impotent rage, he calmed down.

Ye Fan ignored Zhou Yi and asked, "Master, what is the destination of our journey?"

"The Big Dipper Star Region".

Qin Hao said, "It's the Big Dipper constellation that's located in astronomical observations. However, it should stop at Mars for a while or two along the way."

"Yinghuo? What kind of place is that?" Pang Bo asked.

Ye Fan was very dedicated to cultivation and had read many ancient books. He then picked up the conversation and said, "Yinghuo is Mars. But can people really live on Mars?"

"You'll soon find out whether it's habitable or not," Qin Hao said calmly.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yi couldn't help but shout.

Just then, the bronze coffin suddenly trembled violently, and everyone except Qin Hao and Ye Fan lost their footing and swayed.

Many people fell directly to the ground.

"What exactly happened?" Li Xiaoman asked loudly, "Mr. Qin, what's going on?"

Qin Hao, being the only person with superpowers, was seen as a savior by Li Xiaoman.

“It’s the rescue team!” Zhou Yi insisted. “The rescue team must have arrived. We’ll be out soon.”

Qin Hao found his delusions truly laughable.

But some people are willing to believe it, hoping that the next second they will be back on Earth and able to go home.

"boom."

There was a loud bang.

Qin Hao chuckled softly, "Now you'll know whether or not people can live in Yinghuo."

"what?"

Ye Fan was greatly surprised: "We've only been here a short time, and the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin have already reached Mars?"

That's an extremely long distance.

It takes 180 to 300 days for human spacecraft to reach Mars.

How long has it been for them?
"Light!" someone suddenly shouted.

Li Xiaoman said, "The bronze coffin has overturned, the lid is tilted, and a gap has opened. We can escape now."

Everyone rushed out.

But the situation outside shocked them.

The earth looked as if it had been stained with blood, turning reddish-brown, cold, hard, and desolate.

Scattered across the ground are some huge rocks that look like tombstones.

This is definitely not Mount Tai anymore.

"Are we in quarantine?" someone asked, raising their hand.

Where is the quarantine line?

"Where are the people who isolated us?"

"Where are we? I want to go home." One of the female students finally broke down and cried.

Zhou Yi was also a little irritated. He looked up at the different starry sky, which filled him with extreme fear.

Perhaps Qin Hao is right; this is not Earth.

It's Mars!
“Another five-colored altar,” Pang Bo suddenly said.

The two exchanged a glance and both looked at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao said, "Just like a car needs fuel, these nine dragon corpses also need some energy to open up the huge ancient star road."

The time won't be long, you can move around a bit in the neighborhood.

But I suggest…

Qin Hao looked around and, seeing that everyone was looking at him, said, "I suggest you don't stray too far from this bronze coffin."

Kowloon could depart at any time.

Of course, there should also be opportunities on Mars.

Whether I can get it, and even if I do, whether I can leave safely, I cannot guarantee.

How you act is up to you.

But I want to say in advance that all choices are your own.

If you stray far from the coffin and encounter danger, no one is obligated to rescue you!

After saying that, Qin Hao strode away, his voice trailing back: "Ye Fan, you can wander around too, but be prepared to come back at any time. Once the Nine Dragons leave, we don't know when the next Starry Sky Ancient Road will open. You can think about what it means to be unable to leave Yinghuo."

What does it mean?
Does this mean a Mars rescue?

impossible.

That's just science fiction.

Without food or fresh water, how easy is it for them to survive on Mars?

Not to mention, there are all sorts of disasters on Mars that are extremely difficult for them to deal with.

In addition, the extreme temperature difference between day and night on Mars could freeze them to death.

“You have all heard what my master said.”

If you are confident in yourself, you can go around and explore.

However, it's best to stay nearby; otherwise, if you really encounter danger, no one is obligated to rescue you.

As Ye Fan spoke, he glanced intently at Zhou Yi and Liu Yunzhi.

As for Lin Jia and Li Xiaoman, he only glanced at them and didn't keep staring at them.

But Lin Jia and Li Xiaoman knew Ye Fan's meaning and wouldn't deliberately try to save them.

Ye Fan turned around and walked towards a huge rock not far away.

He had already noticed it; the rock was very tall, more than twenty meters high.

"I'll go investigate." (End of Chapter)
