Chapter 7: The Five-Colored Altar

  Things happened too suddenly, and everything in front of us was beyond people's imagination!

  "This......" Everyone was unbelievable.

  However, the nine dragon corpses and that bronze coffin were still lying in front of him, an iron fact staring him in the face!

  All of this seriously goes against common sense, subverts people's cognition, and everyone's thoughts have been strongly shocked.

  During the great chaos that had just occurred, Ye Fan and his group did not flee in a state of panic. Instead, they gathered together and remained calm until the Jade Emperor's Peak returned to normal. Although everyone fell to the ground, there were no major casualties, with only a few people suffering bruised arms.

  At this moment, their faces were all written with shocking colors, and the incredible scene in front of them was unforgettable for a lifetime!

  Nine huge dragon corpses lay quietly in front, and the giant bronze coffin was really visually impactful. All of this was too shocking and mysterious.

  Everyone was speechless, with waves of emotions rising in their hearts, and their faces were filled with shock, anxiety, fear, and dread, unable to calm down.

  It wasn't until a long time had passed that Lin Jia finally said in a low voice, "Let's hurry down the mountain."

  Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling that they should leave the place immediately. No one wanted to stay for another moment. The atmosphere at Jade Emperor Peak made people feel a chill in their hearts. Why were there nine dragon corpses pulling a bronze giant coffin? And why did it land on Mount Tai? Even with the facts before their eyes, it was hard for them to accept. They felt extremely uneasy in their hearts.

  Under the bloody sunset, Yuwangding is full of scars, especially the bronze ancient coffin is the most serious. A huge pit was smashed out there, and a large crack around it opened up to one or two meters wide, spreading like a spider web in all directions.

  One of the cracks was like a winding centipede, extending to Ye Fan and his feet, fortunately the end of the crack was less than the width of a palm, without causing collapse or cracking.

  Just as everyone was about to leave, Li Xiaoman pointed ahead and said, "What's that?"

  A half-piece of jade is exposed under the cracked earth's surface, reflecting a bright light in the sunset.

  Although there was some fear in the hearts of many people, they still took a few steps forward and saw that under the one-meter-wide crack, a corner of a round altar was exposed, with broken pieces of jade arranged on it, resembling a jade book.

  "How could this be? Is something buried below?"

  That round altar is not big, simple and unadorned, made of five-colored strange soil, filled with the breath of years, and it's unknown how many years it has existed.

  "Look quickly, there's still more ahead!" Wang Ziwu, standing at the very front, had a look of surprise on his face as he pointed to the even wider and larger rift in front.

  Under the nearly two-meter-wide large crack, there is also a five-colored earthen altar. The round altar has been cracked open, and a piece of jade plate sealed inside has been exposed, with many complex characters and symbols carved on it, which no one can recognize.

  At this moment, everyone's face changed, and for a moment, they thought of the two words "Feng Chan", which is likely to be an ancient altar for worshiping heaven!

  Inside the five-colored round altar, the jade book is sealed. This is similar to what Ban Gu wrote in "Bai Hu Tong Yi" during the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Some say that the seal is made of gold mud and silver rope, while others say it is made of stone mud and gold rope, which is used for sealing and stamping."

  The Book of Han also has a record of "Fei Ying Teng Shi, Jin Ni Shi Ji" in the Historical Records of Sima Qian's "Shiji. Feng Chan Shu".

  In just a moment, the crowd was shocked to discover that under the numerous large cracks around them, there were such five-colored altars, not in small numbers, but as many as dozens.

  Each of the five-colored earth altars is very ancient, with marks of years carved on it, and at a glance, you can see that they have existed for endless years. The five-colored earth altar is either sealed with jade pieces or stone slabs, all of which have inscriptions with difficult-to-identify ancient characters.

  Everyone was deeply astonished and vaguely felt that there might be some connection with the dragon corpse and the copper coffin.

  Ye Fan liked to read "search for strange categories" of ancient books, and he knew more about Feng Chan than others. He was really shocked in his heart. Did the three emperors and five emperors of the seventy-two kings really perform Feng Chan here?

  Maybe the legend is true, otherwise how can there be so many five-color round altars. From the text on it, most of them are oracle bones, which seems to confirm this speculation.

  Everyone should have retreated immediately, but unknowingly they were attracted and had already circled around the copper coffin for more than half a circle. They were shocked by the nine huge dragon corpses, shaken by the 20-meter-long ancient bronze coffin, and amazed by the colorful altars under the ground.

  "It seems there's no danger, but this dragon corpse..."

  After turning for more than half a circle, the crowd's inner fear gradually decreased, but they still felt somewhat uneasy and decided to descend the mountain as soon as possible.

  "Look, there is a giant altar in the central huge crater!"

  The bronze ancient coffin smashed out a huge deep pit on the ground, and everyone had turned to the other side of the bronze giant coffin, looking down again, they were shocked once more.

  At the bottom of the deep pit, there is a super altar, not made of earth, but entirely built with five-colored giant stones, steadily supporting a 20-meter-long bronze ancient coffin, without any cracks.

  This super-large five-color stone altar is obviously different from other earth altars, located in the central position of Yuhuangding, majestic and far larger than those earth altars.

  That bronze coffin which fell from the sky, what a tremendous impact it had, yet somehow not even the slightest crack or fissure was produced on its surface, nor was there any damage to be seen; it's hard to imagine what kind of strange stone it was constructed from.

  On this large five-colored divine altar, apart from that bronze ancient coffin, there were also many jade blocks and stone tablets piled up, all filled with a strong sense of antiquity.

  Whether on jade or stone, there are extremely mysterious ancient characters carved, more primitive than the oracle bones seen on those five-colored earth altars, which are like mysterious symbols similar to heavenly book paintings.

  On that super-large five-colored stone platform, a large row of such jade blocks and stone tablets were neatly stacked, without being destroyed by the copper coffin, which was astonishing.

  "Let's hurry up and leave here." Ye Fan and Zhou Yi spoke at the same time, urging everyone.

  Everyone nodded in agreement, this place was not suitable for a long stay. Even if there were endless secrets here, they weren't something that could be explored now. The nine massive dragon corpses on the side made people uneasy, and the bronze giant coffin even more so, making one's heart feel apprehensive.

  Just as everyone was about to turn around and leave, a female classmate let out a scream, a large rock rolled down into the giant pit below her feet, and she too lost her balance and fell downwards.

  "Be careful!" A male classmate quickly grabbed her and several other classmates also rushed to help, pulling her up.

  That boulder which had been trampled down let out a rumbling sound as it rolled into the great pit, and then with a loud crash heavily struck the Five-Colored Altar.

  The gigantic stone pedestal suddenly emitted a five-colored halo, and everyone felt a massive power enveloping their bodies. Their legs were as if bound by lead blocks, making it difficult to move even a single step.

  Bang

  The five-colored stone altar shook violently, causing the Jade Emperor's Peak to tremble along with it. The crowd standing at the edge of the giant pit suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, but they were unable to move a single step, and were all shaken into rolling down into the great pit.

  A group of people fell onto the five-colored stone platform, and everyone's heart was filled with fear!
