Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The sword energy, like a rainbow, carried the might of thunder and lightning as it was unleashed, instantly blasting the corpse into pieces.

This attack was completed in the blink of an eye. When the dust settled, there was nothing unusual on the ground except for the fragments of the corpse that had been reduced to dust.

The surroundings were utterly silent, yet in Chen Tian's heart, a storm raged, filled with indescribable waves of terror.

At this moment, the unease in Chen Tian's heart reached its peak. He felt as if he were surrounded by a great danger, unable to advance or retreat!

Although he didn't know why he felt this way, Chen Tian didn't hesitate. His eyes darted around, finding a crevice in the narrow passage where he could hide. He quickly rushed over and completely concealed his body within it.

However, Chen Tian was still uneasy. He touched his storage ring, and dozens of earthen yellow talismans flew out, sticking to the surrounding stone walls.

Immediately, a strange spiritual light flashed from these earthen yellow talismans. Then, the crevice where Chen Tian was hiding began to close, quickly sealing him in completely, blending seamlessly with the surrounding stone walls.

Only after doing all this did Chen Tian feel slightly relieved. He then took out the Azure Phoenix Sword and the folding fan he had obtained from Daoist Nanxian, looking around warily.

However, unlike Chen Tian, who was full of vigilance, the white-robed man seemed extremely relaxed. He glanced disdainfully at the corpse fragments on the ground and smiled at the blue-robed man, "What did I tell you, Brother Lu? Nothing happened, right? You're just too cautious."

"Perhaps I am too suspicious." The blue-robed man frowned, shaking his head with a wry smile at the white-robed man's smug look. But quickly, his eyes revealed a greedy glint as he stared at the green Ruyi scepter on the lotus platform, urging, "Brother Zeng, we shouldn't stay here long. Let's hurry and take it so we can go back!"

"That's right. Although there isn't the danger I imagined, this place is too strange. We shouldn't stay! Brother Lu, please wait a moment. I'll retrieve it and then we'll leave together."

The white-robed man nodded slightly and immediately turned to walk towards the lotus platform.

Although he was extremely careful along the way, as if still wary of hidden traps or mechanisms, he eventually realized that all his worries were unnecessary. Nothing happened, and he easily reached the lotus platform.

Besides the corpse they had dealt with, there were still two items placed on the platform.

One was a long saber that exuded a terrifying pressure, obviously not an ordinary item. The other was a beautifully crafted green Ruyi scepter. Although the craftsmanship was excellent, it didn't seem particularly unique.

If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely grab the long saber first, as it clearly looked like a powerful magic weapon.

However, the white-robed man's gaze was fixed on the green Ruyi scepter from beginning to end, not even glancing at the long saber beside it.

And not only him, but the blue-robed man behind him also focused all his attention on the green Ruyi scepter, as if disdainful of the extraordinary long saber.

Chen Tian couldn't help but be surprised by all of this. He couldn't understand what was so special about the seemingly ordinary green Ruyi scepter.

While Chen Tian was still suspicious, the white-robed man reached out his hand to grab the green Ruyi scepter.

His movements were extremely gentle, as if he were facing a priceless treasure.

But just as his fingers were about to touch the green Ruyi scepter, a sudden and unexpected phenomenon occurred.

The green Ruyi scepter and the long saber, which had been quietly resting, suddenly sank downwards, falling into the lotus platform.

Then, the entire lotus platform bloomed with radiant light and, amidst a rumbling sound, floated into the air.

"What's going on?"

The white-robed man's outstretched hand remained suspended in the air, his face filled with astonished confusion.

Not only him, but the blue-robed man was also stunned by this sudden scene, raising his head and staring blankly at the lotus platform floating in the sky, at a loss.

"Buzz... buzz, buzz, buzz..."

At the same time, deafening, chaotic sounds suddenly echoed within the originally silent cave.

These sounds were like death knells from hell, instantly disrupting everyone's emotions as soon as they appeared.

"Damn it, what is this sound?"

The two men were disturbed and disoriented by the sudden chaotic sounds. They hurriedly looked around, trying to find out where the sound was coming from.

But to their disappointment, no matter how they searched, they couldn't see anything. There was nothing else in the cave besides them.

On the other hand, the disturbing chaotic sounds not only didn't disappear, but became even louder, as if something was rapidly approaching them.

"Brother Zeng, forget it. This place is too strange. Why don't we just take the entire lotus platform out and study it slowly outside?"

At this moment, the blue-robed man suddenly shouted. He really didn't want to stay here any longer.

Chen Tian had been paying attention to the two men's movements, and when he saw these golden beetles emerging from the ground, his expression also changed abruptly. He blurted out, "Xuan Demon Corpse Beetles!"

Chen Tian was shocked because, apart from the color, these beetles were exactly the same as the Xuan Demon Corpse Beetles in Fallen Immortal Valley! This couldn't help but surprise him.

"Brother Zeng, look at that corpse!"

At this moment, the blue-robed man also seemed to have discovered something and suddenly screamed.

His cry immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked towards the fragments of the corpse that had already been blasted to pieces on the ground!
