Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

However, to everyone's disappointment, after some thought, Chen Tian shook his head with a gloomy face and said, "I don't understand either."

After learning formation techniques and forbidden arts from Feng Qingzi, Chen Tian could already be considered a half-formation grandmaster, but the runes here were unheard of to him.

According to Chen Tian's deduction, these runes should be a language from another world, brought here by the master who created this ruin.

Combining the various strange phenomena before, Chen Tian was already certain that the person who built this ruin must have been extraordinarily powerful. Although he is no longer here, his aura remains everywhere.

This made Chen Tian quite curious about the identity of this person.

"That's right! How could I forget about this!" Hearing Cao Cuo's reminder, Cao Fangcun nodded immediately, as if he had suddenly realized something. "That's right, in the description of the Heavenly Dao Spring, there is indeed a sentence on the jade slip that says, 'When Blood Mountain appears, the spring will emerge.'"

"Hmm? Brother Cao, could you tell us specifically what this sentence means?" After hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Tian couldn't help but show a curious look and asked Cao Fangcun.

Cao Fangcun nodded immediately and then explained, "Brother Chen, you don't know, the jade slip describes other treasures in great detail, but the introduction to the Heavenly Dao Spring is extremely brief. Besides introducing its function, there is only this inexplicable sentence, 'When Blood Mountain appears, the spring will emerge.' Our Cao family has been studying it for ten thousand years, but we haven't been able to decipher its meaning."

"Hmm? Brother Cao, to avoid ambiguity, let me ask you again, does the jade slip say 'Snow Mountain' or 'Blood Mountain'?" Chen Tian asked with a solemn expression.

After all, the pronunciations of 'blood' and 'snow' are extremely similar, and Chen Tian was afraid of mishearing.

"Alas, Brother Chen, you certainly didn't mishear. What the jade slip says is 'Blood Mountain'! If it were 'Snow Mountain,' then we wouldn't have to be so troubled, because as long as we came here and saw a snow mountain, we would be able to determine that that is where the Heavenly Dao Spring is located. But the jade slip says 'Blood Mountain,' which leaves us completely confused. Blood is a liquid, how can it gather into a mountain? Also, if there really is a mountain made of blood, how much blood would it take?" Seeing Chen Tian's cautious appearance, Cao Fangcun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In fact, the Cao family had many heated debates about whether it was 'Snow Mountain' or 'Blood Mountain.' Some people believed that it was a snow mountain and that it was written as Blood Mountain because of a momentary slip of the pen, a typo.

However, others disagreed after hearing this. Their reason was that every word and every sentence in this jade slip was extremely rigorous and there was no possibility of typos. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Spring was the most precious of all the treasures, so how could there be a typo in such an important matter?

This debate had continued for thousands of years, until Cao Fangcun finally confirmed with his own eyes that what was recorded in the jade slip was undoubtedly 'Blood Mountain,' because there was no snow mountain here at all!

After hearing Cao Fangcun's explanation, Chen Tian's expression gradually became solemn.

After thinking carefully for a moment, he suddenly took out the Profound Forbidden Immortal Sword, forcefully slashed it, and cut open his palm, squeezing out drops of bright red blood, which flowed onto the ground.

"Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

Seeing Chen Tian cut open his palm, Cao Fangcun's expression changed drastically, and he said in horror.

Not only him, but everyone else was also surprised when they saw this scene, staring closely at Chen Tian.

However, Chen Tian ignored everyone's expressions, only staring at the ground without blinking!

Drops of blood kept flowing from the wound in Chen Tian's palm, falling on the ground, and eventually disappearing.

However, after a long time, nothing unusual happened around, let alone any spring water gushing out.

Seeing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then stopped the bleeding wound, and said helplessly, "It seems that the meaning of this sentence is much more complicated than I imagined."

Hearing this sentence, Cao Fangcun seemed to finally understand that Chen Tian wanted to use his blood to draw out the Heavenly Dao Spring.

After all, the jade slip said, 'When Blood Mountain appears, the spring will emerge.' So, Chen Tian naturally thought that as long as he dripped blood here, he would definitely be able to draw out the spring water.

But they still underestimated the mystery of this sentence. After all, if it were so easy to crack, then the people who entered here before would have definitely taken the Heavenly Dao Spring away long ago, so what would be left for them?

However, after excluding this possibility, everyone couldn't help but fall into confusion again. They really couldn't figure out what kind of information was hidden in this short sentence?

"Forget it, it's not a solution to just think about it like this. Let's go ahead and look for it. Maybe the Heavenly Dao Spring is hidden in some corner here."

After much deliberation, Cao Fangcun finally announced his abandonment and suggested this to everyone.

Chen Tian also felt that this would only be a waste of time, so he nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of Chen Tian and Cao Fangcun, the group went forward to explore.

However, what they didn't realize was that not long after they left, a black hole suddenly cracked open in the sky, and then two figures walked out of it, it was the old man who had broken through the void and came here, and the Nebula Insect Demon King!
