In the world of "Covering the Sky": An Analysis of the Ancient Sacred Body at the Start

"Boss, you don't look unwell. You specifically kept me here, do you know something? Is Ye Fan in danger?"

Watching Ye Fan and the others gradually disappear into the distance, Dong Yuexi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

She worked as Yu Yi's secretary for three or four years, spending every day with him, and knew him very well.

Yu Yi deliberately kept her behind, so he must know something, but there were too many people around for her to ask.

"Don't worry! If anything happens to Ye Fan, I won't stand idly by."

"Also, I do know some things, but before I answer you, let me ask you a question: Do you believe in the existence of spiritual practitioners?"

In fact, Yu Yi never intended to hide anything; he was just too lazy to explain or to show off and embarrass himself.

He just wanted to hitch a ride quietly and didn't want to get involved in the grudges and conflicts between Ye Fan and the others.

"I used to be a staunch atheist, but after what happened at Mount Tai, I'm no longer sure, and my worldview has even collapsed..."

Dong Yuexi smiled wryly. If dragons really exist, then the Buddhas, immortals, and gods in mythology might also exist.

"In fact, there have always been cultivators on Earth. It's just that in ancient times, certain events caused a great change in the world, and Earth entered the Dharma-ending Age."

"Those powerful cultivators left Earth, and the weak cultivators all went into seclusion, so ordinary people didn't know about the existence of cultivators."

"I learned by chance in my early years that cultivators exist in this world, so I dropped out of school and went to the ancestral temples of various Taoist sects to seek immortality from their masters. Obviously, I failed."

"In the end, having no other choice, I had to sponsor several archaeological teams with substantial sums of money, and over the years they have unearthed quite a few ancient tombs of cultivators..."

"That's why I embarked on the path of cultivation. After several years of practice, I've now achieved some minor success."

"Among the ancient books that were unearthed, there are records about the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin. You can think of the bronze coffin as an interstellar train..."

What Yu Yi said earlier was all true, but his later statement about the bronze coffin of three generations recorded in ancient books was obviously nonsense.

"An interstellar train? Where is the bronze coffin taking us? Will we ever be able to return to Earth?"

After hearing Yu Yi's explanation, Dong Yuexi's doubts were resolved. She finally understood why Yu Yi had spent so much money sponsoring the archaeological team all these years.

However, what Dong Yuexi is more concerned about now is whether these people can return to Earth.

"The bronze coffin will take us to the Big Dipper, where all kinds of races live together and cultivators are as numerous as fish crossing a river. Once you arrive in the Big Dipper, you too can become a cultivator."

"As for returning to Earth, it's probably impossible in the short term, because only those who cultivate to the level of a saint can traverse the void of the universe on their own..."

Yu Yi gave a brief explanation of the situation in each of the various secret realms, so that Dong Yuexi could have a general idea.

"Boss, you're really not being fair. You've been secretly cultivating on your own, and you didn't even tell me..."

"Didn't I tell you? Earth is now in the Dharma-ending Age, and it's very difficult for ordinary people to cultivate. I'm able to cultivate because I have other opportunities..."

After being scolded by Dong Yuexi, Yu Yi taught her the Wheel Sea Secret Realm chapter of the Nine Heavens Emperor Scripture.

One advantage of the Nine Heavens Imperial Scripture is its extremely high compatibility, making it suitable for cultivation by any physique. This may be related to the fact that Yu Yi in the future has replicated countless physiques.

Yu Yi didn't care if others cultivated the Nine Heavens Emperor Scripture, as long as they didn't spread it around. There was never the strongest cultivation method in this world, only stronger people.

"Boom!"

However, at that moment, a series of rumbling sounds suddenly came from afar, like thousands of horses galloping or a raging sea surging.

"Oh no! Ye Fan and the others are in danger! That's a sandstorm, a super storm on Mars!"

Dong Yuexi's expression changed drastically. According to research by scientists on Earth, Mars is shrouded in sandstorms for a quarter of the year.

Typhoons on Earth reach speeds of over 60 meters per second, while storms on Mars can reach speeds of up to 180 meters per second, with superstorms capable of sweeping across the entire planet.

Faced with a Martian superstorm, not to mention people, even heavy tanks would be swept into the sky!

In just a moment, a terrifying reddish-brown dust cloud completely covered the sky, and a massive storm that swept across the entire Martian surface began.

"Rumble..."

The storm roared like muffled thunder, and the whole earth seemed to tremble. The sky and earth were shrouded in a hazy mist, and reddish-brown dust filled the air.

"Don't worry, Ye Fan and the others have arrived. As for the sandstorm, as long as we stay inside the bronze coffin, even the strongest sandstorm can't harm us..."

Centered on the five-colored altar, a hazy dome with a diameter of one kilometer formed, covering the sky above this area and isolating it from the outside world.

Ye Fan and the others ran all the way and finally arrived near the Five-Colored Altar before being engulfed by the sandstorm. However, of the original thirty-odd people, only seventeen remained.

"Roar~"

At that moment, a chilling roar came from afar, as if an ancient, primordial beast had broken free from its seal and shattered the earth.

However, the terrifying roar quickly subsided. If everyone hadn't clearly heard it, they would have thought it was just a hallucination.

"That sound just now...it sounded like the roar of an animal. Are there other creatures on Mars?"

"In mythology, the Buddha suppressed and sealed many demons and monsters beneath the Great Thunderclap Temple..."

"Could it be that we took away the Buddhist scriptures, causing the Great Thunderclap Temple to collapse and release the demons below?"

The crowd discussed the matter animatedly, their expressions growing increasingly grim. If the legend of the Buddha sealing away demons and monsters was true, then their situation would be extremely precarious.

The Great Thunder Temple has been reduced to ashes, and there is no longer a Buddha there, which means that they will have to face the demons of mythology, and their fate is predictable.

No one spoke again. The five-colored altar fell silent. Many people didn't dare to breathe. The silence was so profound that it was filled with an eerie atmosphere.

"Oh no! Look at the sky! That hazy light is dimming; it's about to disappear..."

Some people looked up at the sky and suddenly noticed that the light shield covering the five-colored altar and blocking the sandstorm was dimming and would probably disappear completely soon.

Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. Once the light barrier completely disappeared, they would face the terrifying sandstorm head-on, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"What are you all standing there for? If you want to live, get inside the bronze coffin..."

Dong Yuexi poked half her body out of the bronze coffin and called out to Ye Fan and the others. She and Yu Yi had returned to the bronze coffin when the sandstorm appeared.

Upon hearing this, everyone snapped out of their daze and rushed into the bronze coffin. Now, the only thing that could save them was this mysterious bronze coffin.
