Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Although Chen Tian had somewhat guessed the function of the Heavenly Dao Spring a long time ago, he couldn't help but be surprised when Cao Fangcun said it out loud.

He didn't expect that such a heaven-defying treasure would exist in this ancient ruin.

After all, after cultivating to Chen Tian's level, simply absorbing spiritual power was already difficult to quickly improve his cultivation. Only by constantly comprehending artistic conceptions and karma could he achieve something. Chen Tian had already deeply understood this point in the Demon Realm Ruins.

Therefore, when he learned that there was a Heavenly Dao Spring in this ancient ruin that could quickly improve the strength of Sea凝境 cultivators, he showed such a surprised expression.

However, after a while, Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something again and suddenly said, "Brother Cao, you just said that this Heavenly Dao Spring is the most precious treasure here. If that's the case, how could those who came in before easily let it go? So, I think, could it be that the Heavenly Dao Spring has already been taken by someone else?"

Chen Tian's question was also very reasonable. After all, the many treasures originally placed here had all been taken away by others. How could the most precious Heavenly Dao Spring in this place be spared?

"Haha, don't worry about this, Brother Chen. I can assure you that the Heavenly Dao Spring must still be here!" Cao Fangcun laughed suddenly, as if seeing Chen Tian's doubts, and said.

"Huh?" Looking at Cao Fangcun's confident appearance, Chen Tian couldn't help but frown and said softly, "Brother Cao, are you really sure that the Heavenly Dao Spring is still here?"

"Yes, I can guarantee it with my head!" Cao Fangcun said even more firmly, "Actually, Brother Chen, you don't know that the Heavenly Dao Spring is the core of this ancient ruin. Once it is lost, this ancient ruin will no longer exist. And as you can see now, everything here is still running perfectly, so I can be sure that the Heavenly Dao Spring must still be here!"

Hearing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but turn his head and look around. Sure enough, everything around him was perfectly displayed before his eyes.

After inspecting it, Chen Tian finally believed Cao Fangcun's words and nodded, "Okay, then I'll believe you this time."

"Brother Chen, don't worry. As long as you help me find the location of the Heavenly Dao Spring, Cao will definitely not treat you badly. Not only will the Nirvana Pill be yours, but even some of the Heavenly Dao Spring water can be given to you. Taking just one drop of Heavenly Dao Spring water can save you eight hundred years of cultivation. This kind of good thing doesn't happen every day!" Cao Fangcun's words were frivolous, as if he was tempting Chen Tian.

After hearing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a long while, he raised his head and said, "It's too early to say all of this. Our primary task at hand is to find the Heavenly Dao Spring first. As for the future, let's think about it later."

After speaking, Chen Tian turned around and walked straight towards the gray-robed old man and the others.

Seeing this, a very complicated and strange look suddenly appeared in Cao Fangcun's eyes, and then he returned to the crowd.

While Cao Fangcun and Chen Tian were talking in low voices, the gray-robed old man and the others couldn't help but search around.

However, because they were frightened in the second layer, they didn't go far, but searched on a small scale within a range of fifty feet. By the time Chen Tian and Cao Fangcun returned, they had already checked this area.

"How is it? Did you find anything?"

After Cao Fangcun came back, he directly asked the two Cao family elders.

"Reporting to the young master, we haven't found any danger yet, but there is a strange phenomenon that makes us feel a little surprised." Hearing Cao Fangcun's question, Cao Da immediately reported, but a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"Hmm? Strange phenomenon?" Hearing this, Cao Fangcun frowned and asked, "Tell me, what is the strange phenomenon?"

As soon as Cao Fangcun finished speaking, Cao Da immediately smiled bitterly and said, "I can't explain this matter clearly. How about this, please follow me, young master. You will know everything after taking a look."

Soon, they came to the side of a giant tree.

This was a towering tree that rose from the ground. Its trunk pierced straight into the sky, majestic and thick, and it was unknown how many years it had grown.

There were many similar trees in the first and second layers, so it was normal for this tree to grow in the third layer.

But it was such an ordinary thing that made everyone present feel a burst of astonishment because of a peculiar phenomenon.

It turned out that extremely strange runes were engraved on the trunks and branches of these trees. These runes were densely stacked together, covering the entire tree.

After seeing this phenomenon, Chen Tian couldn't help but be surprised, because he felt that the shape of these runes was very similar to the patterns on the body of the Pupil Leaf Zhi Snake he encountered in the first layer, but they were more complex and bizarre than the patterns on the Pupil Leaf Zhi Snake.

"Hmm? Is only this one tree like this?" After investigating for a while, Cao Fangcun suddenly frowned and asked.

"Young Master Cao, I also have giant trees with similar runes here."

"Also here!"

"Yes, I have it here too."

The gray-robed old man, the middle-aged beautiful woman, and the calculating servant were divided into three groups and searched in three different directions, but in their respective search areas, they also found large trees covered with similar runes, which made them feel a burst of surprise and immediately reported.

After hearing the reports from the crowd, Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he looked in the direction they were in. Sure enough, there were similar trees in the four directions of southeast, northwest.

And not only here, looking around, in this vast and dense third layer, there were countless trees with these strange runes engraved on them.

"What's going on?"

Cao Fangcun also noticed this and his face changed greatly. He couldn't help but look at Chen Tian.

After the previous series of events, Chen Tian had already become the backbone of the crowd, so when faced with such a strange phenomenon, they all looked at Chen Tian, as if expecting Chen Tian to solve their doubts.
