Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

#1006 - Chapter 1006: The Statue of a Human with an Eagle's Head

Unlike the blue-robed man, the white-robed man's mood seemed to become extremely excited in an instant. After hearing his question, he smiled faintly, then flipped his hand and took out a yellow jade slip, handing it over and saying, "Brother Lu, take a look at this first."

The blue-robed man was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, but eventually took the yellow jade slip from his hand, closed his eyes, and carefully examined it against his forehead.

After a good while, he suddenly opened his eyes, surprised, and said, "Is it Gate Number 763?"

The white-robed man smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, it's there. Do you believe me now?"

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

For some reason, after seeing the contents of the yellow jade slip, the blue-robed man's expression became even more certain, without any further doubt.

"Good, Brother Lu, time is of the essence, let's go now!"

The white-robed man gave him an appreciative look, then his figure flashed as he flew towards the dense gates.

The blue-robed man clenched the yellow jade slip in his hand, a look of determination in his eyes, and quickly followed.

The doors here were as dense as a honeycomb, and the serial numbers on them had no rhyme or reason, appearing very chaotic.

After searching for a long time, they finally rushed into a door on the left half of this honeycomb.

Not long after they left, Chen Tian, enveloped in the Heaven-Shielding Feather Shawl, also floated quietly to the front of the door they had entered.

The door was dark red, made of extremely hard ebony, without any paint. The tree's annual rings were still clearly visible.

However, what interested Chen Tian the most was the wooden plaque on it.

At the top of the door was a small, three-inch-long plaque with the characters 'Seven Hundred and Sixty-Three' written on it in small seal script.

Earlier, when Chen Tian heard the two men talking, he learned that a treasure was hidden behind this door, and their purpose in coming here was for this treasure.

However, Chen Tian vaguely felt that something was wrong with the white-robed man.

He just couldn't put his finger on what it was.

This feeling was like an instinct for Chen Tian, cultivated during hundreds of years of life-and-death crises.

However, even so, Chen Tian's face did not show any hint of horror.

After all, although he felt that this person was a bit strange, Chen Tian was not afraid of him at all.

Not to mention that this person didn't know that Chen Tian was behind them. Even if they were to discover him, Chen Tian would still have a way to escape.

Even if that were the case, what did Chen Tian have to worry about?

Thinking of this, Chen Tian suddenly revealed a meaningful smile, then his figure flashed, and he also entered the door with them.

As the white-robed man had said, behind each door was a passage leading to an unknown destination.

When Chen Tian came in, the first thing he saw was a crooked and uneven road, surrounded by hard stone walls, forcing him to fly forward in one direction.

By the time Chen Tian entered, the two men had already flown far down the passage.

So Chen Tian did not hesitate, closely following behind them, flying towards the unknown ahead.

These were all figure carvings, but their faces were strange and handsome, and their bodies were burly, obviously not of the human race.

The earliest carvings had extremely rough lines, like doodles made by children.

However, after flying forward for a while, the level of the carvings rose sharply.

Not only were the lines smooth and the clothing exquisite, but even the temperament of the carved people was well reflected.

Some of these carved figures looked up at the sky, their faces calm; while others looked down at the ground, their faces incomparably melancholy.

Although they were not of the human race, their joys, sorrows, and happiness were well conveyed through these simple depictions, creating a resonance in Chen Tian's heart, rejoicing with them and grieving with them.

Moreover, as the passage deepened, the content of the carvings became richer, including not only the daily life of the figures, but also some battle scenes.

However, what was puzzling was that these battle scenes were damaged to some extent, making it impossible to see who they were fighting with or what the reason for the battle was.

Although he was very curious, after watching for a while, Chen Tian still turned his gaze away from these carved murals.

At the same time, Chen Tian seemed to sense something, and his body suddenly stopped, no longer moving forward.

Chen Tian's spiritual sense had been secretly observing the movements of the two cultivators, and at this time, Chen Tian discovered that they had stopped at a corner in the passage, and in front of them was a strange statue.

The statue was extremely strange, its head resembling an eagle, but its body was that of a human.

In other words, this was actually a statue of an eagle-headed human!

At the same time, Chen Tian also discovered that the carving technique of this statue was the same as the murals on the surrounding stone walls, meaning that they were created by the same person.

"Brother Lu, how is it? I didn't deceive you, did I?"

After seeing the statue of the eagle-headed human, a hint of smugness appeared in the white-robed man's eyes, and he said with a smile.

Beside him, the blue-robed man's face had already revealed uncontrollable excitement, and he hurriedly nodded, saying, "Brother Lu is absolutely right. This is exactly the same as what is recorded on the jade slip. Presumably, at the end of this passage, there really is such a thing. We're rich this time!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Tian's brows suddenly furrowed. He didn't understand what the 'such a thing' that the blue-robed man was talking about was.

Out of curiosity, Chen Tian continued to look at them, wanting to see what they would do next.

"Alright, Brother Lu, now that you believe me, then return the jade slip to me. After we finish taking the immortal energy here, we'll go find that thing." At this time, the white-robed man spoke again.

Hearing his words, the blue-robed man did not hesitate at all, and returned the yellow jade slip that he had been holding in his hand to him.

The white-robed man took the jade slip, a strange smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, and then he took two steps forward, walking to the front of the eagle-headed human statue!
