Chapter 4: Hugging Jiang Xuan's Thigh Is Indeed Correct

At this moment, inside the Bronze Giant Coffin, one side was in chaos.

"What happened? How were we sucked into the giant coffin?"

"Who can save us?"

"Are we still on Earth? I don't want to die."

Some classmates were hysterical from fear, while calmer classmates tried calling for rescue, only to find no signal at all.

"Everyone, calm down, don't panic. Although there's no signal now, with such a major event, the outside world will surely know immediately, and we will definitely be rescued." Zhou Yi was quite calm, and his words gave everyone a dose of reassurance.

Many classmates gradually quieted down upon hearing this.

"That's right, everyone don't panic, conserve your strength, believe that we will all definitely be rescued." Wang Ziwen also spoke up at this time to stabilize everyone's emotions.

Jiang Xuan didn't speak; since the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin had activated, he had casually found a corner to sit cross-legged, tempering the True Qi within his body.

On the other side, Ye Fan was also somewhat uneasy. Using the light from his phone, he looked around. As far as the eye could see, although the classmates had gradually quieted down, their inner anxiety and unease could still be seen from their hurried breathing.

But the moment Ye Fan saw Jiang Xuan, he was suddenly surprised; Jiang Xuan was too calm.

Ye Fan subconsciously walked toward Jiang Xuan.

"Jiang Xuan, do you know what's going on?" Ye Fan asked in a low voice.

"We should be leaving Earth right now." Jiang Xuan did not deliberately lower his voice.

Many classmates looked at Jiang Xuan, shocked beyond measure upon hearing this.

"In ancient times, creatures like dragons were not illusory but truly existed. Now that they have reappeared in our era, it may be an opportunity for us." Jiang Xuan spoke.

"What opportunity? I don't want an opportunity, I want to go home."

"Did we really leave Earth? Waaah, I'm getting married next month."

"My son isn't even a month old yet, what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, everyone erupted in another commotion of crying and shouting. Jiang Xuan's view that they had left Earth was truly too hard to accept. Everyone's concerns were on Earth—would they be alone from now on? What about their parents, wives, and children on Earth?

After everyone had calmed down a bit, Jiang Xuan continued speaking.

"Some Huaxia ancient books record that in ancient times, cultivation existed in the world. Ordinary people could live over a hundred years while remaining strong and healthy, with sharp hearing and clear sight. Cultivators could move mountains and fill seas, pluck stars and chase the moon. When we were at Yu Huang Ding, I saw a black channel faintly appearing within the Taiji Diagram on the Five-Colored Altar."

"So I speculate that we may have entered that channel aboard the giant coffin, and are now heading toward some destination."

"Taiji, the altar, the dragons of Huaxia legends, the black channel—Jiang Xuan, do you mean we are traveling aboard the giant coffin to some destination, and that destination is likely a world related to Huaxia legends, perhaps a world of cultivation?"

"That's what I think. If this journey is truly to a cultivation world, then the laws we once knew must be redefined. After all, on the path of cultivation, if you don't strive, you'll become brothers in the Soul Banner." Jiang Xuan said half-jokingly.

"I don't want to cultivate, I want to go home."

"Daddy, Mommy, waaah."

"Cultivation? Do immortals truly exist in the world?"

Ye Fan thought of the scene on Mount Tai where Jiang Xuan shattered a rock, and fell into deep thought.

"It's already like this, why worry about so much? If we can truly cultivate, that would be awesome, and what happens later isn't up to us anyway." Pang Bo was very eager.

Pang Bo missed the gathering, missed the group tour of Mount Tai, but arrived when the altar was activated.

"Right, if we can truly cultivate, it's much better than being a grandson on Earth."

A classmate who had been unsuccessful at the gathering said. He was an orphan who, through his own efforts, had finally managed to get into university. He thought he could make something of himself after graduation, but upon entering society, he discovered that the ladder upward had long been solidified and sealed. The dividing line between people was amniotic fluid 【likely meaning birth/family background】, and endless overtime couldn't earn him even a toilet in this city. Not a single one of the myriad lights in thousands of homes was lit for him.

"Right, it's not that people are inferior to others, but that fate is inferior. I'm not lacking anywhere, I just lack fate. If I can truly cultivate, I'd rather die fighting for a future."

Another classmate spoke. He had many similarities with the previous classmate, working desperately, hoping to one day rise to prominence. After three years of effort, he discovered that suffering bitter hardships only leads to endless bitterness.

Accompanied by expectation and prayer, everyone gradually fell silent.

Time passed, and suddenly the giant coffin emitted loud bangs, like the trembling before a plane lands, shaking incessantly.

"Boom!"

The final loud bang surpassed the previous ones, as if two massive objects had collided, the sound deafening.

The people inside the coffin didn't know what was happening outside, but could roughly guess that the giant coffin had stopped.

At this moment, streaks of light seeped through the coffin lid into the coffin. Everyone immediately cheered excitedly, immediately set about lifting the coffin lid, and rushed out of the giant coffin in a scramble.

When everyone rushed out of the bronze coffin, they were stunned like wooden chickens.

As far as the eye could see, there was desolation. The blood-colored earth was cold and lonely, with huge rocks standing sparsely on the ground. Their weathered surfaces seemed to tell of the loneliness of standing for tens of millions of years.

Between Heaven and Earth, the gray light was dim, without any warmth, showing only deathly silence and solitude.

"Weren't we told we were going to a cultivation world? The sky is gray here, and this place is uninhabited. What's going on?"

"Where is this? This definitely isn't Earth. Where are we?"

"This is obviously different from the scenery on Earth. It's uninhabited and doesn't look like the cultivation world in novels. Won't we die here?"

Some classmates looked at the boundless blood-colored earth and felt desolate.

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it. Everyone look around; we might discover something."

Jiang Xuan spoke, then looked forward. There was a huge rock over twenty meters away there. Although the rock was high, the slope wasn't very steep. Ordinary people could climb up if they were careful.

Lingbo Microsteps.

As Jiang Xuan stepped, within a few steps he reached the top of the rock. Looking into the distance, he saw a faint white light appearing far away.

"Oh, kung fu, Huaxia kung fu!" Di Kaide exclaimed not far away. Li Xiaoman, a classmate with such a temperament, actually went up a rock over twenty meters in just a few steps, and her silhouette even produced afterimages.

This was very much like the kung fu in Huaxia movies.

"Let's go. There's light over there; we might discover something."

When a matter made no progress, Jiang Xuan often tried a different approach. Now in a strange place, surrounded by gloom, when a glimmer of light appeared, it often represented the new life of things, was a choice to explore a new world, and also contained the artistic conception that this journey must be the path of light and the Great Dao.

Everyone suppressed their shock at Jiang Xuan possessing martial arts and all decided to follow Jiang Xuan's steps.

This classmate never showed off in university, was extremely mysterious. Just now he had almost instantly climbed that high. He must possess peerless skills. In this strange place, who knew what would happen? Hugging Jiang Xuan's thigh was definitely the right thing to do.
