Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The moment Chen Tian's spiritual sense seeped into the two halves of the green Ruyi, a thunderous storm seemed to erupt in his mind. A 'boom' instantly made him feel dizzy and disoriented. As soon as he stabilized himself, a series of bizarre images flooded in like a tide.

At that moment, Chen Tian was like a statue, motionless in his seated posture. His attention was completely consumed by the images surging into his mind.

He didn't know how long had passed before Chen Tian finally opened his eyes, but his gaze was filled with intense shock as he looked at the two halves of the green Ruyi with even greater fervor.

Chen Tian felt his mouth parched and his heart filled with immense joy, because if everything recorded inside was true, then this green Ruyi was likely the second greatest treasure he had obtained, second only to the golden liquid.

One had to know that the drop of golden liquid contained the essence of thousands upon thousands of original immortal forces, making its value immeasurable. The fact that the green Ruyi's value was second only to it meant that it was a powerful treasure that could shake the entire cultivation world.

Of course, the green Ruyi itself was unremarkable. What was precious was the information recorded within it, something that countless cultivators dreamed of obtaining.

This green Ruyi was actually similar to a jade slip, except that compared to ordinary jade slips, this jade Ruyi could record hundreds or even thousands of times more content, and the method of crafting it had long been lost.

So, from a certain perspective, this green Ruyi could barely be considered a rather precious treasure.

However, what truly captivated people was what was recorded inside it—a priceless treasure! Because this green Ruyi contained the method for crafting something called the 'Xuanyuan Bow'.

According to the records within, the owner who crafted this green Ruyi called himself 'Lord Lingjun, the Honored One'. The era in which this person lived could no longer be verified, but one thing was certain: the ancient Immortal Realm still existed at that time.

Because it was clearly recorded that Lord Lingjun, the Honored One, ascended to the upper realm from the Ascension Platform after leaving behind this green Ruyi.

In other words, this person lived at least hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Lord Lingjun, the Honored One, was an eccentric cultivator. Throughout his life, he had no desire for fame or power, focusing solely on crafting magical treasures.

In fact, he had long cultivated to the point where he could ascend to the upper realm, but before doing so, he had one wish that had not been fulfilled. So, he opened up a cave in the Demon Domain Ruins and resided there.

It turned out that Lord Lingjun, the Honored One, had made a grand vow to replicate the long-lost Xuanyuan Bow. He would never ascend until he achieved this goal.

Speaking of the Xuanyuan Bow, it had a remarkable history. This bow was one of the three great treasures of the human race during the ancient era when they established themselves in the world.

Legend has it that the Xuanyuan Bow could shoot down the sun from the sky and penetrate the nine abysses below. Its power was unmatched!

It was by relying on this Xuanyuan Bow that the human race was qualified to be on par with the demon and妖 races, becoming one of the three major races in the universe.

Unfortunately, during the joint resistance against the Immortal race, this supreme treasure of the human race, the Xuanyuan Bow, was eventually broken into two pieces and sank into the endless Black Abyss, never to be found again.

For a long time, countless weapon-crafting masters had yearned to replicate the Xuanyuan Bow, so that this treasure could reappear in the world.

But unfortunately, generations of people tried to create the Xuanyuan Bow with dreams in their hearts, but all failed for various reasons.

After countless setbacks, people had to admit that replicating the Xuanyuan Bow was an unrealistic idea, so they sealed up all the information about the Xuanyuan Bow.

From then on, the name of the Xuanyuan Bow disappeared from the world.

Many years later, during a chance treasure hunt, Lord Lingjun, the Honored One, discovered this batch of information and learned about all the illustrious power of the Xuanyuan Bow.

As a weapon refiner who was passionate about weapon refining and determined to create the most powerful magical treasure in the world, from the moment he discovered the Xuanyuan Bow, it was as if a new world had opened up in Lord Lingjun, the Honored One's heart. He immediately made a grand vow to continue the wish that the predecessors had failed to complete and bring the Xuanyuan Bow back to the world!

From that time on, Lord Lingjun, the Honored One, devoted all his thoughts to refining the Xuanyuan Bow.

However, as one of the three great treasures of the human race when they established themselves in the world, the Xuanyuan Bow was incomparably exquisite and far more complex than people imagined. The difficulties in replicating it were also insurmountable!

Therefore, after countless experiments, Lord Lingjun, the Honored One, like those immortal realm seniors before him, ended in failure!

If it were someone else, they would probably have been unable to persevere and would have given up early.

However, Lord Lingjun, the Honored One, was different. His confidence was not diminished by these countless failures. On the contrary, the fighting spirit in his heart became even higher.

In order to eliminate distractions and concentrate his mind, he specially sealed himself in that cave and devoted himself to studying the method of imitation.

This seclusion lasted for a thousand years.

During these thousand years, Lord Lingjun, the Honored One, used all the methods he could think of and tried many bold and novel solutions, and finally created a prototype of the Xuanyuan Bow.

Although this prototype could only achieve one percent of the power of the real Xuanyuan Bow, it was already a very significant breakthrough.

As long as he continued to modify it according to this prototype, then one day, Lord Lingjun, the Honored One, would be able to successfully replicate the Xuanyuan Bow.

After confirming that this plan was feasible, Lord Lingjun, the Honored One's interest became even higher, and he began to speed up his research.

But who would have thought that at that time, an extremely terrifying change occurred in the ancient immortal world, which disrupted the order of the entire world.

Some of the seniors in Lord Lingjun, the Honored One's sect who had already ascended to the immortal world repeatedly ordered him to ascend as soon as possible so that they could fight the enemy together.

Although he was extremely reluctant to give up, Lord Lingjun, the Honored One, had no choice but to stop all research and ascend to the ancient immortal world from the Ascension Platform to jointly resist an extremely terrifying existence.

Before ascending, he left behind this green Ruyi, recording the method of making the Xuanyuan Bow and his countless failures, and stated that as long as the immortal world was stable again, then he would definitely come back again to continue his research; but if he could never come back again, then he would wait for a destined person to discover this green Ruyi and inherit his will, continuing to study it until the real Xuanyuan Bow was replicated.

Seeing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but wonder, what exactly happened in the ancient immortal world back then?
