Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

After Cao Fangcun finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought, pondering solutions. However, Chen Tian stood leisurely to the side, a faint smile on his lips, his expression quite calm.

Cao Fangcun slowly scanned the crowd, and when his gaze landed on Chen Tian, his expression faltered, as if quite surprised.

"I've got it!" Just then, the middle-aged beautiful woman seemed to have thought of something and immediately said, "Young Master Cao, you just said that these Nebula Insects can find us because of the spiritual sense we emit. If we retract our spiritual sense and enter this sea of trees, wouldn't we be safe?"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Beautiful Jiaoniang, if things were as simple as you imagine, our Cao family wouldn't have had to wait until now." But just as the middle-aged beautiful woman finished speaking, Cao Fangcun seemed to have heard something extremely amusing and burst into laughter.

The servant Suanzi on the side, seeing this, seemed to realize something and frowned, saying, "Why? Is there something wrong with this method?"

Seeing the curious expressions on everyone's faces, Cao Fangcun finally stopped laughing and said helplessly, "Actually, our Cao family has also researched venturing into this sea of trees without using spiritual sense, but ultimately found that it was completely a fantasy!"

"Hmm? Young Master Cao, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Fellow Daoist Beautiful Jiaoniang's suggestion doesn't seem to have anything wrong with it to me. How did it become a fantasy in your eyes?"

The gray-robed old man also seemed not to understand Cao Fangcun's meaning. According to him, these Nebula Insects sensed their presence based on the spiritual sense of cultivators, so as long as they retracted their spiritual sense, wouldn't they be able to slip past?

"Although it's obscured by the mist gathered by the Nebula Insects, roughly speaking, this sea of trees is at least 500,000 miles wide." After calculating with his fingers, the servant Suanzi frowned and said.

"Senior Servant Suanzi is right, the area here is indeed more than 500,000 miles." Cao Fangcun nodded, then he continued, "Alright, I'll ask you again, if we don't use spiritual sense, when will we be able to search this area completely?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, the originally slightly confused expressions on everyone's faces suddenly dawned on them.

Indeed, this sea of trees was extremely vast, and the entrance to the third level was hidden in a tiny corner within it. If they didn't use their spiritual sense, searching with their naked eyes would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Perhaps even if they exhausted their entire lives, they would not be able to find the entrance to the third level.

Thinking of this, everyone finally understood why Cao Fangcun had said those words earlier. Indeed, in this case, it would really be like a fantasy.

After understanding the details, the middle-aged beautiful woman's face flushed red, and she finally retreated, not saying a word.

Cao Fangcun laughed upon seeing this, and then continued, "There's one more thing I forgot to mention just now. Although these Nebula Insects can't observe us with their eyes, this is only limited to low-level Nebula Insects. Their king has already cultivated to the Demon King level, and even if we don't release our spiritual sense, it can still sense our scent."

"What? Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?" The gray-robed old man and the others were quite frightened by Cao Fangcun's words and exclaimed in horror.

Even Chen Tian couldn't help but click his tongue slightly. He hadn't expected that there was actually a Demon King-level leader among these Nebula Insects.

"Hehe, I forgot for a moment, so I didn't have time to tell you. I hope you fellow Daoists can forgive me." Cao Fangcun ignored the angry looks of the crowd and smiled with a strange tone.

'Forgot? Only a ghost would believe that!'

The crowd obviously wouldn't accept such a perfunctory excuse, but just then, they also vaguely sensed that Cao Fangcun probably didn't have good intentions.

The gray-robed old man had the most irritable temperament and couldn't stand Cao Fangcun's evasive manner, so he snorted coldly, "Young Master Cao, there are only a few of us here, there's no need to be so mysterious, right? If you have something to say, just say it."

"Hehe, since Senior Ning wants me to speak, then this junior will dare to say a thing or two." From who knows when, the evil aura on Cao Fangcun's face became more and more intense, and he no longer had the upright appearance he had before. After chuckling lightly, he slowly said, "Just like I said just now, among these Nebula Insects, there is a leader hidden whose strength is close to the Demon King level, but fortunately, these past few days have been the rarest Seven Stars Shining Sun period in thousands of years, and during this period, that Demon King will fall into a deep sleep and be unable to wake up, and this is also the best time for us to explore the second level."

"No wonder you insisted on coming in this year. So all of this was within your Cao family's calculations." After hearing Cao Fangcun's words, the servant Suanzi also revealed a hint of surprise and sighed, "I pride myself on my unparalleled divination skills, but today I realize that compared to your Cao family's ten thousand years of perseverance, my little skill is really insignificant."

Chen Tian was also somewhat surprised at this time. He really hadn't expected that the Cao family had planned so thoroughly for this ancient ruins, even calculating the Seven Stars Shining Sun, such a rare event in the world.

This scheming, this perseverance, truly shocked everyone in the world!

However, after hearing Cao Fangcun's words, the gray-robed old man seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but sneer, saying, "Young Master Cao has painstakingly calculated so much, then you must have already thought of a way to solve the crisis here, why not tell us and let us hear it?"

As soon as these words fell, everyone's hearts couldn't help but jump violently, and then they hurriedly looked at Cao Fangcun, their eyes full of anticipation.

Indeed, the Cao family had put so much effort into thinking about this moment, they must have already come up with a solution to break through here, otherwise, they wouldn't have easily entered.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the crowd flickered, as if they all eagerly wanted to know what countermeasures the Cao family had researched for these Nebula Insects!
