Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Even though he had already guessed it, Chen Tian was immediately excited when he heard Cao Fangcun admit it.

Chen Tian had a feeling that what Cao Fangcun was about to say must be a shocking event.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Tian pretended to be calm and said, "Great, since it's related to the Ancient Immortal Realm, then I will definitely listen attentively. Please speak, Brother Cao."

Cao Fangcun smiled faintly, and then said, "Brother Chen, if I said that there is another passage to the Ancient Immortal Realm in this world, would you believe it or not?"

"What? Another passage to the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

Although Chen Tian had been mentally prepared, he was still deeply shocked when he heard this sentence.

If someone else had said this, Chen Tian would naturally not have believed it, but since it came from Cao Fangcun's mouth, the meaning was very different.

Chen Tian remembered that the jade slip Cao Fangcun gave him was from the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Although Chen Tian didn't feel anything was wrong at that time, now that he connected it with this sentence, Chen Tian felt even more horrified.

After being surprised for a long time, Chen Tian couldn't help but look up at Cao Fangcun. He vaguely felt that Cao Fangcun seemed to know some secrets about the Ancient Immortal Realm.

"Brother Chen, you haven't told me yet whether you believe it or not? This is the basis for our subsequent conversation. If you believe it, then I will continue to tell you, but if you don't believe it, I will get up and leave now, and I will never bother you again, how about it?"

Looking at Chen Tian's gloomy look, Cao Fangcun's expression remained unchanged, and he asked him again.

Hearing this urging, Chen Tian's eyes flashed quickly, as if he had finally made a decision, and said with a firm expression: "Okay, I will believe Brother Cao! Please continue."

Hearing Chen Tian's answer, Cao Fangcun was obviously very happy. He smiled and said, "To be honest, Brother Chen, the matter about this second passage to the Ancient Immortal Realm is a secret of our Cao family. Only the direct descendants of our Cao family can know it for generations, and it will never be told to outsiders. And Chen Tian, you are the only person besides our Cao family who knows about this matter."

"Huh?" Hearing Cao Fangcun's words, Chen Tian not only did not feel any honor, but became even more puzzled, and frowned: "Since this secret can only be known by your Cao family, why are you telling me now?"

Chen Tian was indeed a little confused. If it were him, he would never tell such a confidential matter to any outsiders. But Cao Fangcun was good, he told him this secret so easily. This had to make Chen Tian feel alert, in case there was a trick in it.

Cao Fangcun was a very meticulous person, and he naturally noticed the suspicious look Chen Tian was showing at this time, and quickly explained: "Brother Chen, please don't worry too much, I definitely don't have any intention of harming you, but this matter is really hard to explain in a few words!"

After sighing, Cao Fangcun slowly told Chen Tian about it.

All of this started with Cao Fangcun's seventh-generation ancestor.

This seventh-generation ancestor of the Cao family, named Cao Hui, was initially just a Huaquan realm cultivator who had studied under the Qingya Sect.

By chance, Cao Hui learned about a clue about an ancient relic. So he used all his strength to explore and take out the ancient relic.

Perhaps the heavens would not disappoint those who put their heart into it. After searching hard for nearly seven hundred years, Cao Hui finally found the location of the ancient relic. Impatiently, he immediately entered it.

Cao Hui originally thought that this relic was left by some ancient power, but when he actually entered it, he was shocked to find that this ancient relic actually belonged to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Cao Hui discovered that the relic was divided into three layers, and he entered the outermost layer, which was the least dangerous. As for the two layers inside, they were full of various mechanisms and restrictions, which were impossible for ordinary people to enter.

So after some consideration, Cao Hui scavenged a few immortal treasures and immortal pills from the outer layer, and then retreated.

However, what Cao Hui didn't expect was that the danger in the two inner layers was hundreds of times higher than that of the outer layer. Although he had the cultivation of the late Ninghai realm at that time, he was severely injured by the defense mechanism inside as soon as he entered the second layer. If he hadn't been smart enough to retreat in time, he would have died there.

And because he retreated very quickly, Cao Hui didn't carefully search for the treasures inside, but hastily took out two jade slips and came back.

One of these two jade slips was the one Cao Fangcun gave to Chen Tian to strip away the power of the heavenly tribulation. As for the second jade slip, although it was unremarkable in itself and could not be regarded as a powerful magic weapon, a passage recorded on it shocked all the Cao family members!

It turned out that this jade slip recorded some information about this ancient relic. It also wrote that in the very center of this relic, there was actually a temporary passage to the Ancient Immortal Realm!

This was information that shocked everyone!

You must know that since the only passage to the Ancient Immortal Realm in the墟 of the Demon Realm was destroyed hundreds of thousands of years ago, many monks have been trapped to death on the Qianyuan Continent.

At the same time, countless people have tried to find other ways to go to the Ancient Immortal Realm, but the results have all ended in failure.

But what the Cao family never expected was that the second passage to the Ancient Immortal Realm that everyone dreamed of would fall into their hands, which made the Cao family feel extremely excited in addition to shock.

But at this time, after returning from that relic, Cao Hui's injuries worsened, and within a few years, he reached the end of his life. In his final moments, he summoned all the Cao family members and issued two last wishes.

The first was to order the Cao family to live in seclusion from now on and not appear in the cultivation world again, so as to protect this secret from being known by other forces.

The second was to warn all Cao family members that unless the time was ripe, no one should go to the ancient relic to explore. Those who violated the order would be killed by the other Cao family members.

Only Cao Hui knew how terrifying it was there. He was also thinking about the Cao family!

After issuing these two last wishes, Cao Hui passed away.

From then on, all the Cao family members followed his last wishes and lived in seclusion cautiously.

It wasn't until Cao Fangcun approached Chen Tian that the long silence was broken!
