Chapter 15 Arrival at the Ancient Sacred Land
After a while, various magical artifacts were laid out in front of Xiao Yan, who was completely immersed in enlightenment.
Among them are bronze coffins and nine-dragon coffins that are extremely similar to the genuine articles.
"This time I'm going to become a master of knock-offs."
Coming to his senses, Xiao Yan tallied his gains, his face beaming with barely suppressed joy.
This time, his Divine Hundred Refinements is no longer trash from the low-level martial arts world; it can be considered a truly divine skill.
It possesses a variety of incredible functions, whether it is refining or condensing and sublimating.
The human body is also a world in a certain sense. In terms of replenishing what is lacking and taking what is lacking, the Divine Techniques can be considered a divine skill for body training.
As for the crafting of artifacts, the counterfeits he crafts can almost perfectly replicate the originals, only the numerical values are incomparable. The small bronze immortal coffin can't repair the world, but it can repair spatial equipment, allowing it to store living things and have some nurturing function.
This is only a part of his enlightenment this time.
The immortal scripture used to mend the heavens and almost all of his important abilities have something in common.
In particular, the aspect of taking from the surplus and replenishing the deficiency is similar to the evolution of the Fire-Swallowing Technique.
After glancing at the three remaining Bodhi leaves on his knees, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then activated the sublimated Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements. Samadhi vapor rose in his palm, enveloping the three emerald green leaves, which condensed into an emerald green bead in a short while.
Swallowing it in one gulp, Xiao Yan gripped the Bodhi Seed tightly, following the lingering effect of his previous enlightenment, and entered a state of sudden enlightenment once again.
As energy circulates throughout the body, strands of power burst forth, as if unleashing the hidden power within.
With his essence, energy, and spirit united, Xiao Yan's soul power was highly active. With the blessing of dual enlightenment and the meager divine insight he gleaned from the immortal scriptures, he deduced his cultivation.
At the lower abdomen, a glimmer of divine light appeared where the original battle qi vortex had been. As the circulation route of the Burning Technique continued to change, the divine light gradually grew stronger, and the qi vortex continued to compress. After an unknown period of time, the meridians in the body were fully opened by the newly generated power, and finally the circulation route stabilized. At the dantian, a sea of fire appeared that was the same size as the original qi vortex.
It barely stopped before it was about to become a real ocean.
All six Bodhi leaves were completely consumed.
He enhanced all his knowledge, greatly increased his soul power, and modified the Burning Technique using the Heaven-Covering Demonic Technique.
All original functions have been retained and comprehensively enhanced. Furthermore, based on the original logic, local cultivation methods from the world of "Covering the Sky" have been added.
"Hehehehe, I knew the world was hard even in my early years..." Opening his eyes, Xiao Yan burst into crimson-gold light and laughed loudly.
It would be great if we could give him a few more books like the Nine Secrets of the Emperor's Scriptures as nourishment.
"Old Xiao, how are you?" Ye Fan came closer, looking at Xiao Yan with considerable amazement.
His comprehension is truly exceptional; he's an absolute genius. The commotion he just made was incredibly loud.
"It's just a comprehensive upgrade and iteration." Even though he hasn't completed the transformation yet, Xiao Yan now has the illusion that he could kill his former self with a single punch.
I have so many insights to share; I'll sort them out slowly when I get back.
Retrieving the junk he had previously given to Ye Fan and Pang Bo, Xiao Yan casually picked up a Buddhist artifact, enveloped it in flames in his palm, and refined it into two jade slips, handing them back to them.
They shared everything they had learned that they could use without reservation.
The Burning Technique, which he wanted to rename to the Flame Emperor Scripture, was not passed on. Xiao Yan knew this thing well; it had always been very compatible with him. During his enlightenment, he haphazardly modified it based on some unknown insight, and it was basically tailor-made for him. Anyone outside of him who tried to practice it would die.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo have their own opportunities; he doesn't need to worry about them.
However, the new Eight Gates Formation and Divine Hundred Refinements, which have been incorporated into the Burning Technique, have been passed down. The two are incredibly strong and can fly like bricks. Using this explosive secret technique and all-purpose tool, even though there are nine superior secrets later on, it is enough for the early stages.
Especially regarding Ye Fan, Xiao Yan knew that although this guy seemed honest, he was actually quite cunning.
The new version of the Divine Machine is unparalleled in its ability to be counterfeited; even a fake that steals a fraction of its essence can rival the projection magic of Shirou Emiya from next door.
Let this guy go scam people in the back.
"This time, we brothers are really going to take off." Pang Bo beamed.
Just then, the coffin trembled again and landed just in time.
Xiao Yan immediately raised an eyebrow.
The timing was perfect.
He had just finished his epiphany when he arrived at the Big Dipper.
That's too much of a coincidence.
However, he didn't take it to heart.
If he can handle it, there's no need to worry; if he can't, worrying won't help either. Why bother with all that nonsense?
Stepping out of the ancient coffin first, Xiao Yan stood on top of it, looking back down at the pitch-black abyss.
Unlike Mars, this place is full of life.
"It's been so long since I've seen the world with light." Pang Bo took a deep breath, his face full of longing for the future.
Ye Fan also showed no negative emotions, instead looking around with curiosity.
Unlike the original story, there's not as much scheming and intrigue here, and the three of them quickly grow closer through countless small incidents during their journey.
Xiao Yan knew the character of these two men, and he had witnessed it firsthand. Pang Bo trusted Ye Fan and was also impressed by Xiao Yan's frankness during this period. As for Ye Fan, he had a deep understanding of both of them.
"The scene of vibrant life and everything flourishing is still vivid in my mind," Xiao Yan said with a slight sigh.
Ye Fan smirked, but before he could reply, Pang Bo chuckled.
"I forgot the beginning, I forgot the middle, I forgot the end, but the advantage is still in my hands!"
"The advantage is indeed on our side." Xiao Yan glanced at Ye Fan beside him and nodded.
With Ye Fan around, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone is indeed safe.
The Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is indeed a fixed route that countless emperors and ancient kings have witnessed, but it hasn't been restarted for a long time. Whether this restart was orchestrated by certain individuals, Xiao Yan doesn't know.
Although we don't know if it's true or not, if it is, then we don't need to guess who the mastermind is.
"Let's go, see those three words up ahead? The Ancient Forbidden Land, it's time to take a look."
At this moment, Ye Fan had already noticed the stone tablet in the distance. Xiao Yan patted Pang Bo, who was still looking around, and then strode towards it with the two of them in his arms.
All three present were people of great fortune, and there was also Ye Fan, whose sacred body could be considered a forbidden zone.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
The only one in danger is myself; Ye and Pang are unlikely to be in any danger.
As he once again savored the increasingly limited time he had left, a smile crept onto Xiao Yan's lips.
It's time to start the fun of treasure hunting!
I hope that tough people have a better temper and don't breathe on others so easily.
"By the way, now that we have a lot of time, let's talk about the Ancient Sacred Body and the Demon God's Bloodline."
Seeing that they were not far from the place of the elixir of immortality, Xiao Yan decided to tell the whole story he hadn't finished telling on the coffin earlier.
Although the bloodline of the Demon God is not ranked very high in the entire Shrouding the Heavens universe, considering that Pang Bo has the bloodline of the Demon God from that heaven-defying place on Earth, coupled with his final achievements, his talent is undeniable.
The Ancient Sacred Body is even more outstanding, absolutely top-tier, it's just that the version is wrong.
"...In short, you two are both big consumers of resources, especially you, Ye Zi. Once you develop, you'll be invincible. But how to develop is something you'll have to figure out yourself."
Arriving at one of the Nine Wonders Immortal Elixir plants, Xiao Yan looked around but found nothing amiss. He then cheerfully patted Ye Fan on the shoulder.
"Come on, let's eat. Bro, we're counting on you to level up. Remember to help me out when you're all geared up."
Xiao Yan smiled brightly. As everyone knows, after letting Ye Fan roam free for a while, he will bring back some treasure. It might be the Nine Secrets, the Emperor Scripture, or of course, some really deceptive things.
He's already looking forward to the next time he comes back, to play that game called "Ye Fan's Journey".
