Covering the Sky: I Prove the Great Dao Through the Gate of Immortality

"This Bodhi tree is still alive. Legend has it that the Bodhi tree can open wisdom, and it is also known as the wisdom tree. The Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree."

Ye Fan also felt that this place was very special.

"It's amazing! There are ruined palaces everywhere outside, but this place has been preserved, along with a Bodhi tree. There might be some treasure here!"

Pang Bo's perception of Qi was not as clear as the other two, but this place was obviously different from other places, and he also felt that there was something mysterious about it.

"A true saint once emerged from here, far beyond my current level. Let's go and see if there's anything left behind."

Li Chenzhou spoke up, also curious about what extraordinary artifacts looked like in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

As Li Chenzhou spoke, he walked forward and took the bronze lamp. Ye Fan also seemed to be deep in thought. He saw the divine light on the Bodhi tree constantly flowing towards the roots, so he dug through the soil under the tree and found a Bodhi seed.

"As expected, following the original trajectory, it was obtained by Ye Fan. This Bodhi seed is the most precious treasure here; the other artifacts are insignificant in comparison."

Li Chenzhou's eyes flickered slightly, but he had no greed in his heart. Although he knew there were Bodhi seeds under the Bodhi tree, his mind was attracted by the bronze lamp just now, and he had ignored the location of the Bodhi seeds for a moment.

Li Chenzhou did not regret it, as this was not in line with his nature. His path was one of unwavering progress, and if he were to become greedy for a Bodhi seed, it would be detrimental to his cultivation.

Moreover, how could his true opportunity be compared to a mere Bodhi seed?

Ye Fan examined the Bodhi seed in his hand. After careful observation, his expression was one of disbelief. The surface of this Bodhi seed was dull and ordinary, but it had hidden natural patterns. These patterns, when connected together, actually formed an image of Buddha.

Born a Buddha!

Suddenly, the few remaining Bodhi leaves on the Bodhi tree emitted a green divine light, their vitality growing stronger, and they transformed into several beams of green light that all surged toward the Bodhi seed in Ye Fan's hand.

At this moment, Ye Fan finally realized that the Bodhi seed in his hand was definitely a divine object.

"Here you go, you can make your offer..."

"If Heaven gives you something and you don't take it, you'll suffer the consequences. This is the opportunity you found; it's your own good fortune." Li Chenzhou waved his hand.

Ye Fan examined the Bodhi seed in his hand and seemed to have gained some insight. Pang Bo, on the other hand, noticed a rusty bronze plaque above the ancient temple with four ancient characters engraved on it.

"Temple..."

"big……"

Pang Bo didn't know what the words on the bronze plaque were, but he felt that the plaque had survived the passage of time and was still spotless, unlike any ordinary object.

"The plaque of an ancient sacred dwelling is very heavy. Hmm, it must be quite explosive to swing it like that." Pang Bo tested the feel of it with satisfaction.

Each of the three gained something, but there's no reason to only take one item from a treasure vault, so they entered the ancient temple to explore again.

Soon, Li Chenzhou found half a vajra and a broken Buddha statue. The half vajra was heavy and condensed, and even though it was only half left, it still gave people a sense of indestructible power.

The damaged Buddha statue has a huge crack that almost splits it in two, as if it might break apart at any moment.

Forbidden Weapon for Quasi-Emperors!

Despite its severe damage, as long as it bears the mark of an emperor, Li Chenzhou will have the confidence to challenge any holy land or aristocratic family in the early stages of his cultivation.

Ye Fan then found a bowl. The bowl appeared intact on the surface, and although the luster inside had faded, it still gave people a sense of security when held in their hands.

"Almost every powerful Buddhist figure in the TV series has a bowl as a ritual implement. Buddha used a bowl to suppress the Six-Eared Macaque, and Fahai also used a bowl to suppress Bai Suzhen. It's an essential item for powerful figures!" Ye Fan thought with delight.

Pang Bo found a tattered kasaya. Since he had to carry the bronze plaque and didn't have a spare hand to hold the kasaya, he simply draped it over his body, which looked rather incongruous.

At this moment, the other students also realized what was happening and rushed into the ancient temple to loot it.

Zhou Yi found a broken bronze bell. He gently struck the bell, and a Buddhist chant resounded, like a great bell. Liu Yunzhi, who was supposed to get a vajra in the original trajectory, found a monk's knife instead.

Some students also found all sorts of Buddhist items, including prayer cushions and rosaries. Li Xiaoman's foreign friend, Cade, found a broken wooden fish with lifelike images of Bodhisattvas printed on its surface, though it was unclear which Bodhisattva it depicted.

"Let's go, it's almost time. There are basically no other artifacts here. Let's get into the bronze coffin. Staying here any longer might be dangerous."

Seeing that most of the people were carrying objects, Li Chenzhou knew it was time to leave. He was warned in his heart that a crisis was approaching.

With his spiritual level, he sensed that this malice was so intense that it made his hair stand on end—a sign that he was about to face a great terror.

The ancestor of crocodiles is about to appear!

Li Chenzhou has always been extremely mysterious in the eyes of his classmates. His otherworldly temperament is completely out of place with them. Even Ye Fan, the boss of Bright Moon City, follows Li Chenzhou's lead. This adds another layer of mystery. Many classmates secretly speculate that Li Chenzhou may be the legendary heir of an ancient martial arts family in the city.

Therefore, when Li Chenzhou suggested leaving, everyone chose to follow.

The giant bronze coffin was located not far from the ancient temple, less than a kilometer away. Soon, the group arrived in front of the coffin.

Ye Fan reaped the greatest rewards on this treasure hunt. In terms of value alone, his treasures surpassed all the Buddhist artifacts combined by countless amounts. Li Chenzhou and Pang Bo were next in haul. The bronze lamp and the bronze plaque were the only two items among the many treasures that remained spotless.

Suddenly, Li Chenzhou threw a punch.

A fist imprint shot out, swift as lightning, and several silently approaching black shadows turned into blood mist.

"what!"

"What is that?!"

"Something is following us!"

"Li Chenzhou, help!" A frightened voice rang out as the last male student suddenly shouted.

Dozens of densely packed black shadows rushed towards the group and arrived in the blink of an eye. They were a group of black beasts. These ugly beasts were only a dozen centimeters long and about the thickness of a thumb, but they were incredibly fast and had ferocious faces.

"die!"

Li Chenzhou exhaled and spoke, unleashing a powerful punch.

The fist tore through the sky, and the sand sank three feet.

"Sizzle—"

Where the fist passed, all the little crocodiles exploded into a bloody mist.

However, more and more small crocodiles are spreading everywhere, densely packed, and stretching as far as the eye can see.

"rise!"

Li Chenzhou's eyes shone brightly, like the rising sun.

A strange thing happened.

Under the gaze of everyone, the Buddhist implements in their hands—whether vajras, bronze lamps, prayer beads, or relics—all resonated strongly at the same time.

"Om Mani Padme Hum"

In the void, it seemed as if countless eminent monks were chanting the six-syllable mantra simultaneously.

Immediately afterwards, all the Buddhist artifacts emitted golden Buddhist light.

The Buddha's light shines everywhere, like a spring breeze and rain, or the scorching sun melting snow.

The small crocodiles that pounced on the attacking creatures were swiftly killed upon contact with the Buddha's light, making a hissing sound.

They didn't even have time to let out a few more screams before they exploded into a bloody mist.

In the blink of an eye, the little crocodile was wiped out.

Everyone was both surprised and delighted. They looked at the Buddhist artifacts in their hands that were still shining brightly, and then at Li Chenzhou in front of them. His upright posture and the light shining in his eyes attracted all the Buddhist artifacts. Their eyes were filled with shock.

It's like a god descending to earth.

Li Chenzhou stood in the center of the Buddha's light, the golden light in his eyes gradually fading.

"Although the power of Buddhist artifacts can overcome evil, it is ultimately finite. There must be an even more terrifying existence behind these demonic beasts."
