Everything had happened too suddenly. Everything in front of them was beyond everyone's imagination!
"This …" Everyone could not believe it.
However, the nine dragon corpses and the bronze coffin were right in front of them. The iron-like truth was right in front of them!
All of this went against common sense and subverted everyone's understanding. Everyone's thoughts were strongly impacted.
During the chaos just now, Ye Fan's group did not flee. Everyone gathered together until Jade Emperor Peak calmed down. Although everyone had fallen to the ground, there were no major casualties. Only a few people had bruised arms.
At this moment, shock was written all over their faces. The incredible scene in front of them was something they would never forget for the rest of their lives!
Nine huge dragon corpses laid quietly in front of them. That huge bronze coffin was truly a visual shock. All of this was too shocking and mysterious.
Everyone was speechless. Their hearts were in turmoil. Their faces were filled with shock, panic, fear, and other emotions. It was difficult for them to calm down.
After a long time, Lin Jia said in a low voice, "Let's hurry down the mountain."
Everyone nodded. They felt that they should leave this place immediately. No one was willing to stay a moment longer. The atmosphere on Jade Emperor Peak was chilling. Why were there nine dragon corpses pulling the bronze coffin here? Why did they land on Mount Tai? Even though the truth was right in front of them, it was still difficult for them to accept. They felt extremely uneasy.
Under the bloody sunset, Jade Emperor Peak was a scene of devastation. The area around the bronze coffin was the most severely damaged. A huge pit had been smashed there. The cracks around it were a meter or two wide, spreading in all directions like a spider web.
One of the cracks was like a wriggling centipede, extending to the feet of Ye Fan's group. Fortunately, the end of the crack was less than the width of a palm, so it did not create a pit.
Just as everyone was about to leave, Li Xiaoman pointed ahead and said, "What is that?"
Half of a jade slip was exposed under the cracked ground, reflecting light under the setting sun.
Although everyone was a little afraid, they still took a few steps forward. They saw a corner of a round altar under the one meter wide crack. The broken half of the jade slip was displayed on it, shaped like a jade book.
"How can this be? Is there something buried down there?"
The round altar was not large. It was simple and unadorned. It was made of strange soil of five different colors. It was filled with the aura of time. It was unknown how long it had existed.
"Look, there's more ahead!" Wang Ziwen, who was standing at the front, revealed a shocked expression as he pointed at the wider crack ahead.
Under the two-meter-wide crack, there was also a five-colored earthen altar. The round altar had already been shattered, and a jade plate sealed inside was revealed. There were many complicated characters and symbols carved on it, but no one could recognize them.
At this moment, everyone revealed shocked expressions. In that instant, they thought of the two words "Pilgrimage". It was extremely likely that this was an altar used to offer sacrifices to the Heavens in ancient times!
The jade booklet was sealed within the five-colored round altar. This was similar to the description in Ban Gu's' White Tiger Tongyi 'during the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was recorded, "Sometimes it is said to be sealed with gold mud and silver ropes, sometimes it is said to be made of stone mud and gold ropes, the seal of the seal."
Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian of the Western Han Dynasty also had a record of "Soaring Heroes, Golden Mud and Stone".
In just a moment, everyone was shocked to discover that there were such five-colored altars under the large cracks around them. There were actually quite a few of them, and there were actually dozens of them.
Every five-colored earthen altar was very simple and unadorned. They were engraved with the marks of time, and one could tell at a glance that they had existed for countless years. The five-colored earthen altars were either sealed with jade plates or sealed with stone plates, and on them were engraved ancient symbols that were difficult to recognize.
Everyone was deeply shocked. They vaguely felt that there might be some connection between the dragon corpses and the bronze coffin.
Ye Fan liked to read "strange" ancient books, so he knew much more about the Pilgrimage Ceremony than the others. His heart was incomparably shaken. Could it be that the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, and Seventy-Two Kings had really carried out the Pilgrimage Ceremony here in ancient times?
Perhaps the legend was true. Otherwise, how could there be so many five-colored round altars? Judging from the characters on them, most of them were Oracle Bone Script, which seemed to confirm this conjecture.
Everyone should have immediately retreated, but they were unwittingly attracted. They had already circled around the bronze coffin. They were frightened by the nine enormous dragon corpses, shocked by the twenty-meter-long ancient bronze coffin, and shocked by the five-colored altars underground.
"There doesn't seem to be any danger, but these dragon corpses …"
After circling around for a long time, the fear in their hearts gradually decreased, but they still felt a little uneasy. They decided to descend the mountain as soon as possible.
"Look, there is a giant sacrificial altar in the center of the huge pit!"
The ancient bronze coffin smashed a huge pit in the ground. Everyone had already turned to the other side of the huge bronze coffin, and when they looked down, they once again revealed a shocked expression.
There was a super sacrificial altar in the deep pit. It wasn't made of mud, but completely made of five-colored boulders. It steadily supported the twenty-meter-long ancient bronze coffin without the slightest crack.
This super-large five-colored stone altar was clearly different from the other earthen altars. It was located in the center of the Jade Emperor Peak, and it was majestic and far larger than the other earthen altars.
The impact of the bronze coffin that fell from the sky was enormous, but it unexpectedly didn't crack it in the slightest, nor was there any damage. It was hard to imagine what kind of strange stones it was piled up.
On this super-large five-colored altar, other than the ancient bronze coffin, there were many jade pieces and stone slabs piled up, all of them filled with an ancient aura.
Whether it was the jade pieces or the stone slabs, they were all engraved with extremely mystical ancient characters. They were even more primitive than the oracle bone inscriptions seen on the earthen altars. Those were mysterious symbols that were almost like drawings from the heavens.
On the super-large five-colored stone altar, there was a large row of such jade pieces and stone slabs neatly piled up. They weren't destroyed by the bronze coffin, which was surprising.
"Let's leave this place quickly." Ye Fan and Zhou Yi spoke at the same time, urging everyone to leave.
Everyone nodded. This place really wasn't suitable for them to stay for long. Even if there were endless secrets, it wasn't something they could explore right now. The nine huge dragon corpses at the side made them feel uneasy, and the huge bronze coffin made them even more anxious.
Just as everyone was about to turn and leave, a female student let out a scream. A large boulder under her feet rolled into the huge pit. She couldn't stand steadily and fell down.
"Be careful!" A male student quickly grabbed her, and a few other students beside him also quickly helped pull her up.
The boulder that was stepped on made a rumbling sound and rolled into the huge pit. Then, with a "bang", it heavily hit the five-colored altar.
The super-large stone altar immediately emitted a five-colored halo. Everyone felt a huge force enveloping their bodies. Their legs felt as if they were tied with lead, unable to move a single step.
"Bang!"
The five-colored stone altar shook continuously, causing the Jade Emperor Peak to shake along with it. Everyone standing at the edge of the huge pit suddenly felt the world spin, but they couldn't move a single step. All of them were shaken and rolled into the huge pit.
A group of people fell onto the five-colored stone altar. Everyone was filled with fear!
