Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

At that moment, a circular black spot suddenly appeared on the sun, which had been radiating dazzling light in the sky.

As soon as this black spot appeared, it spread rapidly in all directions, gradually engulfing the entire sun from the center. Soon, the once incomparably bright sky dimmed, as if it were night.

"A solar eclipse?"

Seeing this spectacle, the gray-robed old man, who had been silent, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"No, it's not a solar eclipse." However, before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged beautiful woman on the other side hurriedly shook her head and said, "A solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon, controlled and replaced by the Dao of Heaven. However, I feel that there is a strange and powerful force forcibly covering the sun at this moment."

"Beaut, are you really not mistaken? How could there be such a powerful force in this world that could obscure the entire sun?" Hearing the middle-aged beautiful woman's words, the gray-robed old man shook his head repeatedly, finding the statement too absurd.

The middle-aged beautiful woman stopped talking, but her delicate eyebrows were furrowed as she continued to stare intently at the strange phenomenon in the sky.

Chen Tian had been watching the surroundings, so when he heard the conversation between the two, he was suddenly surprised. After glancing at the middle-aged beautiful woman, Chen Tian's eyes flickered, and he also looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky.

As the black spot continued to expand, all the sunlight was completely obscured, making the world even more gloomy and dim.

It was as if it was the middle of the night.

At the same time, sharp and violent roars came from the bottom of the black hole, as if some powerful and terrifying demon beast was about to leap out.

However, upon seeing this scene, Cao Fangcun and the other two Cao family elders showed no panic. Instead, they became even more excited.

At this moment, Cao Fangcun said to the crowd with a glint in his eyes, "Fellow Daoists, the most suitable time to enter the ancient ruins in ten thousand years has arrived. Time is short and fleeting. We can't afford to delay any longer. Now, let's work together to break the restrictions on this black hole."

After saying that, he waved his sleeve, and a rumbling sound suddenly came from under everyone's feet. Immediately afterward, stone pillars emerged from the ground, rising until they reached everyone's chest.

"Now, please join me, fellow Daoists, in injecting spiritual power into these star-cone stones. Together, we will open the entrance!" At this time, Cao Fangcun shouted again, then stretched out his left hand, pressed it against the stone pillar, and continuously poured spiritual power into it.

The two Cao family elders beside him did not hesitate at all and also injected spiritual power into the stone pillars.

Seeing this, the gray-robed old man and the others hesitated for a moment, but eventually followed Cao Fangcun's example and began to inject spiritual power into the stone pillars as well.

Chen Tian waited until everyone had started before leisurely reaching out his right hand, gently pressing against the stone pillar, and began to pour spiritual power into it.

"Swish…"

After absorbing the continuous stream of spiritual power from everyone, the seven stone pillars immediately flashed with dazzling light, like lightning dancing wildly, reflecting each other in the air.

At the same time, the power of the starlight descending from the Big Dipper seemed to be attracted by the seven stone pillars, and they all gathered together, forming a mysterious array.

"Now! Throw!"

Cao Fangcun's face lit up with joy, as if he had been waiting for this moment. After shouting, he immediately took out a strange black stone from his bosom and threw it into the starlight. At the same time, the other two Cao family elders also took out two similar black stones and threw them over as well.

"Bang!"

As soon as the three stones were thrown into the sky above the black hole, they immediately exploded, and wisps of black mist overflowed from them, intertwining with the surrounding thick starlight.

Seeing this, Cao Fangcun became even more delighted. Then, he flipped his hand and took out a simple jade slip. After injecting a stream of spiritual power into it, he threw it out as well.

The jade slip floated directly above the black hole, and the black mist and starlight surrounded it and began to rotate rapidly. Before long, they formed an extremely large circular array, enveloping the entire black hole.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian was slightly surprised. He knew that the jade slip floating in the center of the entire array must be the one that the Cao family ancestors brought out from the ancient ruins.

Just as Chen Tian was surprised, another strange phenomenon occurred.

A powerful force suddenly erupted from the huge array, rushing downwards and breaking through the layers of restrictions sealed in the black hole one by one.

Only then did Chen Tian notice that the reason why this black hole was so dark was because there were tens of thousands of powerful restrictions stacked on top of each other inside. They combined with each other, preventing outsiders from entering the black hole.

But at this time, in the face of that overbearing force, these restrictions were like paper, instantly shattered layer by layer, revealing a large hole about three zhang wide.

After the last layer of restriction in the black hole was broken, a dazzling glow shone out from the bottom of the black hole through that large hole, reflecting the starlight in the sky and showing a charming scene.

But at this time, no one was in the mood to appreciate such beautiful scenery. Their eyes were all locked on the large hole that had just been opened.

"Alright, the passage to the ancient ruins has been opened. Everyone, don't delay any longer. Hurry up and go in. I can only maintain it for a few breaths." At this time, Cao Fangcun shouted again, urging everyone to enter quickly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Cao family elders standing on his left and right took the lead in jumping into the large hole and rushing downwards.

Seeing this, the gray-robed old man did not hesitate and jumped into the hole with the middle-aged beautiful woman and the strange child.

Chen Tian frowned and followed closely behind, also jumping into it.

After watching everyone go in, Cao Fangcun breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he soared into the air, grabbed the jade slip in the center of the array, and jumped down as well.

As soon as Cao Fangcun jumped into the black hole, the huge array 'cracked' and shattered instantly. At the same time, the black spot covering the sun also quickly receded, disappearing completely in a short while. The originally dark world regained its light.

In just a few breaths, the bizarre phenomenon that had been so strange had subsided, as if nothing had ever happened.

However, the seven people who had been standing around the black hole had all disappeared.
