Shrouding the Heavens: Simultaneous Transmigration, Heavenly Emperor's Stern Father

The light came from Ye Chen's sea of ​​suffering, from the trickling divine power of the life spring; though not dazzling, it was as warm as spring.

Everyone gasped in astonishment, witnessing a living person glowing was even more shocking than seeing nine dragons pulling a coffin.

"This is a miracle..."

"They're truly divine!"

Ye Chen ignored the crowd's astonishment and simply said:

"See, Xiao Fan, your dream of becoming an astronaut has come true!"

"This coffin is called the Three-Life Bronze Coffin, and it has existed since time immemorial. It will travel through the universe, carrying those destined to cross over to the other side of the stars."

"The other side of the starry sky?"

Zhou Yi keenly grasped the key words.

Yes. We have left Earth.

A silence.

Then came a scream.

"We're going to die in outer space!"

"Stop howling."

Ye Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it stopped the scream abruptly.

"This coffin won't kill you. At least, not so soon."

These words didn't sound very comforting, but for some reason, coming from Ye Chen, they gave people a strange sense of peace.

Ye Fan and his son rode in a coffin pulled by nine dragons, and so did I. We all have a bright future!

Li Xiaoman clung tightly to Ye Fan's arm, her face pale.

Ye Fan was taken aback, gently patted her hand, but his gaze remained fixed on his father.

Is the slightly chubby, middle-aged man with a receding hairline who always had a smile on his face seven years ago really the same person as the ethereal, otherworldly man who can radiate golden light in the darkness?

What exactly did my father go through?

Does Mother know all this?

What will happen to our mother if we leave Earth?

How did my father spend those seven years?

He had so many questions to ask, but now was clearly not the time.

"Don't worry, your mom is cultivating immortality in a safe place. Dad has already paid the parking fee for you."

Ye Chen suddenly spoke.

...So, I've been set up! All of Mom's sadness over the years was an act, and I was the only one kept in the dark?! Ye Fan was both amused and exasperated.

"Ye Zi, come here."

Ye Fan was taken aback, then immediately released Li Xiaoman and walked to his father's side.

Ye Chen lowered his voice, so that only the two of them could hear him:

"The coffin will stop in a bit; we've arrived on Mars. Once we're out, come with me and don't wander off with anyone else."

"Mars?" Ye Fan almost lost his voice. "How is that possible? Mars is so far away..."

"Isn't the appearance of a coffin pulled by nine dragons also impossible?" Ye Chen retorted.

Ye Fan was speechless.

"There's a Buddhist temple called the Great Thunderclap Temple on Mars, and there are some things inside that we must obtain," Ye Chen continued.

"Bodhi seeds, in particular, are of great importance to you."

After obtaining it, avoid touching any other Buddhist artifacts, and especially do not touch the temple plaque. Demons are imprisoned beneath the temple; if the plaque is removed, the demons will break free.

"demon?"

Ye Fan felt that he had been overwhelmed by the amount of information he had received today.

"It is a crocodile ancestor that was suppressed by Buddha. Its magical power is overwhelming. We are no match for it."

Ye Chen looked at his son seriously, "Remember, don't touch anything, just follow me."

Ye Fan took a deep breath and nodded.

He chose to trust.

No matter what a father becomes, a father is still a father.

Suddenly, the coffin shook violently, and everyone staggered.

boom!

The coffin lid was lifted slightly, and red light shone in from the outside.

We've arrived at Yinghuo Ancient Star.

Stepping out of the bronze coffin, one sees a reddish-brown earth.

Empty, desolate, and lifeless.

Some boulders are scattered in the distance, like the skeletons of ancient beasts.

"Where is this..." Li Xiaoman murmured to herself.

Ye Chen walked to a boulder with two ancient inscriptions on it.

"Ying Huo."

Everyone is puzzled.

"It's Mars. The ancients called Mars 'Yinghuo'."

Ye Chen said, "The flickering firelight is chaotic and confusing. In astrology, Mars has always been regarded as an ominous star."

Upon learning that they had truly left Earth and were standing on Mars, many people's psychological defenses collapsed once again.

Pang Bo, on the other hand, was quite optimistic and even clamored to leave some "human relics" on Mars so that they could be discovered when Mars is developed in the future.

Ye Chen glanced at him but didn't say anything.

As a descendant of the demon god's bloodline, he certainly has the right to be confident.

"dad."

Ye Fan walked up to Ye Chen and asked, "Where is the Great Thunderclap Temple you mentioned?"

Ye Chen pointed into the distance: "Over there."

Sure enough, there was an ancient temple in the distance. It wasn't large, but its presence on the Martian surface was eerie enough.

"I'll go with you," Ye Fan said.

Ye Chen nodded, then called to Pang Bo, "You come along too."

These three are a cultivator at the peak of the Divine Bridge realm, the future Emperor Ye, and someone who possesses the bloodline of a demon god.

If all three of them can grow up, where in the vast universe can't they go?

Before leaving, Ye Chen glanced at the others, his expression indifferent:

"You may stay near the bronze coffin, or go inside and wait. Mars may seem lifeless, but it harbors hidden dangers. If you wander around and something happens, I may not be able to save you."

These words were blunt, but no one dared to disobey them.

The three of them walked towards the ancient temple.

Once inside the temple gate, Ye Chen began searching the place with practiced ease.

Buddhist lamps, incense burners, vajras, precept knives, prayer beads, kasayas, wooden fish... one by one, Buddhist artifacts were collected into his sea of ​​suffering.

Ye Fan was stunned. "Father, didn't you tell me not to touch any other Buddhist artifacts? So, you're going to take them yourself!"

Pang Bo watched with envy: "Uncle Immortal, what kind of supernatural power is that? A hidden universe in your sleeve?"

"Just call me Uncle. Storage in the Sea of ​​Bitterness is a basic skill for cultivators."

Ye Chen didn't even look up. "Once you step into the threshold of cultivation, you will naturally be able to as well."

Ye Fan looked around, his expression grave.

This Buddhist temple has existed on Mars for countless years, yet it still stands, which is a miracle in itself.

In a corner of the temple stands an ancient tree, beneath which lies a Bodhi seed.

Ye Chen dug out the Bodhi seed, examined it for a few moments, and nodded slightly.

"Son, take this carefully."

Ye Fan did as instructed.

The Bodhi seeds feel warm and smooth to the touch, with a subtle radiance of Buddha's light.

"What is this?" Ye Fan asked.

"Bodhi seeds are a treasure of Buddhism."

Ye Chen's voice finally showed a hint of emotion, "With it, you can unlock wisdom and comprehend the Great Dao from the very beginning of your cultivation."

"Your constitution is special; without this, entering the path of cultivation would be harder than ascending to heaven."

"Is my physique special?" Ye Fan was even more confused.

"Ancient Sacred Body." Ye Chen looked at him. "A physique that is one in a billion. Once it reaches its full potential, it can challenge even the Great Emperor."

However, the practice of the Holy Body requires a great deal of resources, especially the initial step, which is the most difficult.

Without sufficient opportunity, it's common to remain trapped in the mortal realm for a lifetime. This Bodhi seed is your opportunity.

Ye Fan fell silent.

After a long silence, he asked softly, "Father, when you left back then, did you foresee all of this happening today?"

Ye Chen did not answer the question.

He turned around and walked out of the temple.

"Let's go. We've taken enough Buddhist artifacts; don't touch the plaque or that thing."

Pang Bo asked, "Why can't the plaques in the temple be moved? Don't they also have Buddhist power on them?"

"The plaque is the key to suppressing demons."

"If you take the plaque, the entire temple will collapse, and the demons trapped underneath will immediately rush out."

Pang Bo gasped, "What demon?"

"A crocodile," Ye Chen paused, "the kind that can swallow a planet whole."

Pang Bo: "..."
