Chapter 139 Seeing the Coffin
The golden light of the Conferred God List flowed, never covered with dust, dispelling the thick fog here, and a supreme rhyme of Tao spread out, as if the rules of heaven and earth became clear and perceptible at this moment. In the golden light, the mark of the ox's hoof became more and more conspicuous, as if it was imprinted in the long river of time, eternal and unchanging.

"This old fellow riding a cow has a monstrous evil aura and it's obvious at first glance that he is not a good guy. And who is this old bald guy? He looks kind, but he doesn't seem like a good guy at all." The big black dog cursed.

Everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips when they heard this. This big black dog actually described the sacred aura coming from the east as a monstrous evil aura, and even called the Buddha Shakyamuni "bald head".

"Dog, don't talk nonsense." Little Nannan gently patted the big black dog's head. Her small hands only reached its knees. Her pink little face was full of childishness, but there was a hint of intelligence in her eyes.

"I feel very upset when I see this bald guy and this cowherd. Damn it, they are so wicked. They dare to scribble in front of the List of Gods. They really deserve a beating!" The big black dog was very angry. He felt that it was a heinous act to scribble in front of the seal set by the Emperor Wu Shi.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo thought of the identities of Sakyamuni and the old man riding a cow, and then heard the big black dog's nonsense and felt like spitting out their food. This dead dog was so immoral.

"Don't let me see them, or I'll beat them every time I see them!" the big black dog said loudly.

Zixia was really defeated by it and said, "Don't be so arrogant. Not to mention these two people, you can't even beat the cow that this old man rides."

"Damn it, it's just a buffalo, cut it up, it's not even enough to fill my teeth!" The big black dog was not convinced.

"No matter if you are ten thousand times stronger, you are still no match for these two." The old madman suddenly spoke. He stared at the two marks with a solemn look and observed them carefully.

Ye Fan felt the Bodhi seed was heating up, so he quickly took it out, held it tightly in his hand, and felt it carefully. The two marks on the black mountain seemed to have life, beating vividly.

In an instant, he seemed to travel through time and space, and a picture emerged before his eyes: a compassionate Buddha sat under a bodhi tree, chanting Zen, cleansing the soul, making people involuntarily want to convert. In another direction, purple air was vast, and a green cow was leisurely heading west. The old man on its back was calm and composed, and the aura of the great way was naturally revealed, far-reaching and profound.

The compassion of Sakyamuni and the loftiness of the old man riding the green bull both revealed an indescribable supreme rhyme of Taoism. Even the faint mark left behind was enough to make Ye Fan's heart tremble, as if he was being pulled by a mysterious force and wanted to follow them.

Ye Fan's heart was quite unsettled, one could even describe it as boiling. How many ancient Chinese sages had come to this side of the starry sky?
His way home might not be blocked and he should be able to find it. He found a few more glimmers of hope and maybe one day he could return to Earth.

"You baldy, you old bastard..."

Ye Fan was brought back to reality by the curse of the big black dog. He did not find any martial arts skills in the mark, but only proved that the two of them had been there.

At the same time, the old madman closed his eyes, remained silent, and his mind probed into the List of Gods, as if he was in a trance.

“It has been suppressed for more than 100,000 years. Could the things in the mountains still be alive?” Ye Fan looked at the old madman’s actions in doubt.

"It's hard to say. If I'm buried by the divine source like the ancient creatures, I might be able to get out alive." The big black dog said in a trembling voice, almost scaring himself.

There must be some unimaginable existence in this mountain, otherwise Emperor Wu Shi would not have suppressed it with the List of Gods.

“Could it be that the Holy Body’s retreat here in the past and the blood-stained Holy Cliff in his later years are related to the existence in the belly of this mountain?” Li Heishui said in surprise.

Tu Fei said: "Perhaps it is true. The creature that caused the Great Saint Body to suffer in his later years must have been extremely terrifying. Fortunately, it was sealed by the Great Emperor Wu Shi."

"He can fight against the Great Saint Body, but he has to wait until his old age to do so. Could it be that he has been hiding in the middle of the mountain all this time?"

Everyone knew that the Holy Cliff was cut off from the Immortal Mountain by the Great Saint Body. As a place for retreat, it was really scary when you thought about it carefully.

"The aura of the great emperor..." The big black dog rarely felt sad, but after seeing the List of Gods, it showed such an expression again and again, and finally left reluctantly.

After a long time, the old madman finally opened his eyes, and walked forward without stopping. Without saying anything, he took out the corner of the formation diagram of the big black dog, compared it with the cow's hoof print, studied it carefully, and thought quietly. After a while, he closed the formation diagram, continued to step forward and stepped on the hoof prints. Suddenly, a golden road appeared under the feet of several people.

"It actually evolved into such a 'Tao', reaching the ultimate peak..." The big black dog widened his eyes, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, as if he had seen some incredible miracle.

This is a huge cliff, very wide, enough to build a small town on it. However, it is a barren land with no grass growing on it. It is pitch black and has dark red bloodstains.

There were still some puddles in some places, bright red and eye-catching. Although so many years had passed and the spiritual energy had dissipated, for some unknown reason, the holy blood had never dried up.

The most eye-catching thing is the edge of the Holy Cliff, where there is a huge sarcophagus that is hundreds of feet long and hanging on the cliff.

"An ancient coffin that has existed in the world for nearly 200,000 years..."

Everyone's heart was in turmoil. If nothing unexpected happened, this was the place where the body of a great saint was found, and he should be the one in the coffin.

"The Great Saint Body is full of treasures. One of its bones is priceless. The whole body is enough to be used as a holy object to refine a peerless holy weapon!"

They came to a huge stone coffin that was a hundred feet long and observed it carefully. This was a burial place for saints and there might be rare treasures inside.

"Where is the secret of the Nine Secrets? Could it be in this ancient coffin?!" Pang Bo asked with a hint of doubt.

Their main goal of this trip is to find the unprecedented secret of the word "Xing". This peerless sacred art has an irresistible attraction to any cultivator, even saints will be tempted by it.

"Is this sarcophagus moldy? It's covered with moss..." the big black dog asked suspiciously.

"It's not moss, it's very long green hair!" Li Heishui felt cold from head to toe.

"Just don't be red-haired!" Zixia added, but no one paid attention and just thought she was joking.

Although the mountaintop was thick with fog, when they approached the ancient coffin, the surrounding scenery became clearly visible. The surface of the coffin was covered with dense green hair, as if it had grown from the inside, almost covering the entire coffin.

"Damn, there are green hairs growing in this coffin!" The big black dog's black hair stood on end and he jumped up in shock, obviously frightened by this scene.

"Oh no, this is terrible. Could it be that something happened to the body of the Great Saint?"

“No matter how many tens of thousands of years have passed since the ancient emperors died, their bodies will never decay or perish. The same will be true for the Great Saint Body. If he were to transform into a corpse, his unrivaled body…”

Several people were stunned, and a bad feeling arose in their hearts.

"Let's quickly find the 'Xing' key to the Nine Secrets and leave here quickly. Don't touch this ancient coffin." The big black dog was frightened. It was the first time he saw a treasure and was not greedy.

Ye Fan took out the ancient scroll and stood there in shock after comparing it carefully. Pangbo's prediction turned out to be correct. The Nine Secrets of the Journey really pointed to the location of the ancient coffin!

"Are they going to open the museum?" He was horrified. If they provoked some ancient corpse with a great saint body, several people might all die here.

"It would be great if Duan De was here at this moment." When several people were studying the map carefully, they thought of the same person at the same time.

"Damn it, that damn Bald Ladle and that old cow herder have also been here, and there are their marks here!" The big black dog cursed angrily.

Next to the ancient coffin, there are two stone tablets with words of condolence left behind.

In addition, there are two huge starry sky maps. They seem to have deduced something here. They are densely packed and full of stars.

In every star map, there is a thin line, barely visible, pointing to the depths of the starry sky. This made Ye Fan's heart move. Could it be an ancient starry sky road?
