Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

At this moment, everyone's situation could be described as having reached a dead end. If they couldn't find the Heavenly Dao Spring, then this trip would be for nothing.

And how could everyone be willing to accept this outcome?

After all, this Heavenly Dao Spring was their only hope of breaking through to the Celestial Realm. So even if there was only a one in ten million chance, they had to fight to the end. Otherwise, under the erosion of ruthless time, their bodies would turn into mud, their souls would turn into annihilation, and the traces of their existence would be completely erased from this world.

The fear of death made everyone's hearts tremble, and their gazes towards Chen Tian became even more fervent. Because they believed that only Chen Tian could lead them to find the Heavenly Dao Spring.

After slightly glancing at the hopeful gazes cast by everyone, a strange smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of Chen Tian's mouth. He straightened his expression and said softly, "I said before that the Heavenly Dao Spring must be hidden in a place beyond our imagination. That's why I think there might be a fourth layer of space in this ruin. And if we want to find this Heavenly Dao Spring, we must break the routine, reverse our thinking, and use a method that ordinary people have never thought of to find it!"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you saying that the mystery is hidden in those giant trees engraved with runes?" Just as Chen Tian said this, Bu Suanzi seemed to understand something and suddenly looked up and asked.

"That's right, I think the secret of the Heavenly Dao Spring is hidden in those rune giant trees!" Chen Tian didn't deny it after hearing this, and nodded slightly in agreement.

"What? You mean the Heavenly Dao Spring is hidden in these rune giant trees? Can we find it by digging them open?" Hearing this, the gray-robed old man seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Not only him, but also the middle-aged beautiful woman and Cao Fangcun on the side also showed bursts of surprise in their eyes after hearing this, rubbing their hands, as if they couldn't wait to search for those rune giant trees.

However, while they were all excited, only Chen Tian and Bu Suanzi remained calm, as if they were not moved by it at all.

Bu Suanzi's expression was gloomy, and his left hand quickly formed a hand seal, as if he was calculating something, while Chen Tian stayed quietly in place, his face like a calm sea, without a trace of movement.

After a burst of jubilation, the gray-robed old man excitedly turned his head and said to Chen Tian, "Fellow Daoist Chen, just give your orders. Which rune giant tree is the Heavenly Dao Spring hidden under? I, Ning Tianxing, will dig three hundred feet into the ground to dig it out."

As soon as the gray-robed old man finished speaking, the middle-aged beautiful woman and Cao Fangcun also hurriedly nodded, rolled up their sleeves, as if they were ready to dig for treasure.

"Hmm? Strange? Did I say that the Heavenly Dao Spring is hidden inside the rune giant trees?" Looking at their excited appearance, Chen Tian smiled playfully.

Chen Tian's words were like a basin of ice water, pouring down on the gray-robed old man and the others, instantly freezing their excited mood to a freezing point.

After a moment of confusion, the gray-robed old man asked in confusion, "Eh, Fellow Daoist Chen, didn't you just say that the key secret to finding the Heavenly Dao Spring is in these rune giant trees! Doesn't that mean that the Heavenly Dao Spring is hidden in one of the rune giant trees?"

"You're half right, but also half wrong!" Chen Tian couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly after hearing this.

"Uh? Fellow Daoist Chen, what do you mean by half right and half wrong?" The gray-robed old man said dejectedly.

"First of all, I admit that I said that the key to finding the Heavenly Dao Spring is between these rune giant trees!" Chen Tian did not deny it, and nodded, but then he said with a playful expression, "But I didn't say that the Heavenly Dao Spring must be buried under the rune giant trees."

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Looking at Chen Tian's appearance of admitting and denying at the same time, the gray-robed old man and Cao Fangcun were all confused. They were completely confused by Chen Tian.

At this time, Bu Suanzi, who had been pondering, suddenly said, "Okay, you should say less. It's not too late to make a decision after listening to Fellow Daoist Chen's explanation."

"Hmm? Key?" Hearing Chen Tian's analogy, the gray-robed old man and Cao Fangcun immediately looked at each other, but they both felt confused. Only Bu Suanzi seemed to have thought of something, and kept nodding.

Chen Tian looked at his appearance, smiled slightly, and then said to everyone, "Okay, now I will tell you to do something. As long as you complete it, you should be able to understand what I mean."

"Okay, Brother Chen, just tell us. No matter what it is, as long as we can obtain the Heavenly Dao Spring, we will do it."

As soon as Chen Tian finished speaking, Cao Fangcun vowed to guarantee. After all, their Cao family had been preparing for tens of thousands of years, in order to obtain this Heavenly Dao Spring, so as to give birth to a Celestial Realm expert. And now that the opportunity was in front of him, how could he give up?

The gray-robed old man and the middle-aged beautiful woman were the same. The purpose of our trip was also for the Heavenly Dao Spring. As long as they could find the Heavenly Dao Spring, no matter what they were asked to do, they would not have any complaints. So after Cao Fangcun had just finished speaking, they immediately nodded in agreement.

"Very good."

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Chen Tian couldn't help but show a satisfied smile, and then he said, "In fact, what I want you to do is very simple, that is, from now on, cut down all the other trees here except for those giant trees engraved with runes."

"What? I didn't hear you wrong, did I? Brother Chen, did you just ask us to cut down trees?" Cao Fangcun was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and asked in surprise.

"Brother Cao, you didn't hear wrong, I'm asking you to cut down trees, but to cut down all the other trees except for the rune giant trees, leaving not a single one!" Looking at Cao Fangcun's astonished expression, Chen Tian couldn't help but smile, his face was very strange!

After receiving Chen Tian's repeated confirmation, Cao Fangcun and the others all gasped. They never expected that the thing Chen Tian ordered them to do was to cut down trees!

Chen Tian's words gave them too much shock, making their minds unable to turn around. Could it be that there is a necessary connection between finding the Heavenly Dao Spring and cutting down trees?

Thinking of this, the joy in everyone's hearts was instantly transformed into deep incomprehension and shock!
