Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"How about it? Shall we make our move now?" The Nebula Insect Demon King glanced at the backs of Chen Tian and the others, his face slightly cold, and inquired.

"Hehe, don't rush. Now that these people have come here, they are like turtles in a jar, and they can no longer escape. We can make them die whenever we want, so there's no need to rush to kill them." The old man laughed loudly, his expression quite calm and composed.

"Oh? Then according to Brother Mu Kui's idea, what should we do?" The Nebula Insect Demon King pondered for a moment and then asked.

"Brother Mu Kui is right. Prey that is too easy to obtain is often the most boring. Only by forcing the prey into a corner and killing them while they are trembling can we obtain the greatest pleasure. Now, let's just watch and see how these prey will jump around?"

After saying that, the Nebula Insect Demon King and the old man stopped talking, looking in the direction Chen Tian and the others were heading with an icy and playful gaze.

… … … … … … … … … …

Until now, everyone didn't seem to realize that a huge crisis was slowly approaching them, and they were still moving forward.

At the same time, they also released all their spiritual senses, cautiously and carefully looking around. Because there were no Nebula Insects here, they didn't have to worry about releasing their spiritual senses being dangerous.

However, even so, everyone was still full of vigilance and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

However, after about an hour, the gray-robed old man seemed to finally be unable to bear it any longer, and suddenly stopped, complaining, "This third level is so small. With our strength, we have already explored it hundreds of times back and forth. Not to mention the Heavenly Dao Spring, we haven't even seen a tiny ant. Hey, Cao Fangcun, is there anything else your Cao family is hiding from us?"

Indeed, in this hour, everyone had repeatedly checked this small space hundreds of times, but they still hadn't found any clues about the Heavenly Dao Spring, which made the gray-robed old man quite angry and couldn't help but turn his spearhead towards Cao Fangcun.

"Ning Tianxing, show some respect. How can you talk to our young master like that? Who do you think you are!" However, just as the gray-robed old man's voice fell, Cao Da, who was on the side, suddenly became furious and said in a cold voice.

"Hehe, I don't know who was desperately trying to curry favor with our young master in the second level just now? Now that's good, you feel that our Cao family has no value to you, and you plan to kick us away, don't you? Is there any difference between such a person and a wagging dog?" Cao Cuo, on the other side, couldn't help but sarcastically said.

Hearing these two people's veiled words, the gray-robed old man became even more angry. He took a step forward, as if he was about to rush over.

"Alright! Alright! For my sake, everyone should calm down. Harmony brings wealth!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Cao Fangcun immediately stood up, stopped the gray-robed old man, and said to him with a smile, "Senior Ning, you really misunderstood us. Our Cao family sincerely invited all fellow Daoists to come together to participate in this grand event, and there is absolutely no concealment! As for why things have become like this, I also don't understand! But one thing I can guarantee to you is that our Cao family has never deceived you in any way, so please, Senior Ning, don't be angry, let's continue to look forward."

As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling face. Looking at Cao Fangcun's kind smile at this time, even if the gray-robed old man was angry in his heart, he could only helplessly give up.

But even so, his attitude was always very firm, looking at Cao Fangcun with a sneer and saying, "Young Master Cao, don't use these nice words to fool us. We are not fools and are not so easily deceived! I ask you, where exactly is the Heavenly Dao Spring, and when will we be able to find it?"

The gray-robed old man couldn't help but be anxious. You must know that he had been trapped in the late stage of the凝海境 (Ninghai Realm) for nearly a thousand years. Over the years, not to mention breaking through the 筑天境 (Zhujian Realm), he had not even completely cultivated the 凝海境 (Ninghai Realm) Great Perfection. If this continued, then in less than five hundred years, he would exhaust his lifespan and die.

Thinking of this, his heart was filled with sorrow, and it was at this time that Cao Fangcun suddenly came to his door and told him about the Heavenly Dao Spring.

And when he heard that taking a drop of the Heavenly Dao Spring could gain at least eight hundred years of cultivation, his heart was completely shocked! Without thinking too long, he agreed to Cao Fangcun's request and came with him to explore this ancient relic, because he knew that this might be his last chance.

If he could obtain the Heavenly Dao Spring, then he would have hope to break through the bottleneck in front of him and leap to the 筑天境 (Zhujian Realm). But if he couldn't find it, then what awaited him would be the ruthless years slowly eroding his vitality until the day he died of old age.

Therefore, after seeing this empty third level, the gray-robed old man would appear so anxious.

In fact, not only him, but Pu Suanzi and the middle-aged beautiful woman were also lured here by Cao Fangcun's sweet words, and they also desperately wanted to obtain the Heavenly Dao Spring.

It's just that the strength of the two of them was the weakest among everyone, and they didn't have the confidence to confront Cao Fangcun, so they were silent at this time, but in their hearts, they very much supported the gray-robed old man.

So in this silent silence, the atmosphere that had just eased down became heavy again. Everyone looked at each other, all calculating something in their hearts.

However, one thing that the gray-robed old man and Cao Fangcun both felt confused about was: Where exactly is that Heavenly Dao Spring?
