Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

From the gray-robed elder's words and actions, it was already clear that everyone's attitude towards Chen Tian had undergone a tremendous change.

If the crowd respected Chen Tian before only because he possessed terrifying strength that they could not match, then now they revered Chen Tian because they admired his meticulous thinking and extraordinary wit.

And more importantly, Chen Tian was different from Cao Fangcun. From beginning to end, Chen Tian had not used any means to coerce them. On the contrary, he had been trying his best to help them along the way.

The gray-robed elder and the others firmly believed that if it weren't for Chen Tian, they would never have been able to pass through the billions of Nebula Insects, and they would never have had the chance to come here. Therefore, they were very grateful to Chen Tian, and in their gratitude, there was a heartfelt respect.

At the same time, the gray-robed elder and the others had another, deeper reason.

They knew that if there was no Chen Tian, then the Cao family would definitely dominate this trip. With Cao Fangcun's temperament, they would probably not even get a sip of the soup in the end.

Therefore, in order to contain Cao Fangcun and protect their own interests, they had to support someone to confront the Cao family.

And obviously, the only person with such strength was Chen Tian!

So, the gray-robed elder and the others were actually raising Chen Tian's status for their own sake.

Cao Fangcun naturally noticed all of this, but even so, what could he do?

Although this operation was led by their Cao family, Chen Tian had helped everyone the most along the way! And more importantly, only Chen Tian knew how to open this teleportation array and find the real Heavenly Dao Spring.

Because of this, the gray-robed elder asked Chen Tian about the next steps instead of Cao Fangcun. This showed that, imperceptibly, everyone had already recognized Chen Tian's leadership position.

If Cao Fangcun wanted to obtain the Heavenly Dao Spring, he had to follow Chen Tian's instructions. Being controlled by others, he had no choice but to bow his head to Chen Tian.

To be honest, Cao Fangcun was actually very jealous of the current situation, because Chen Tian was not only abnormally strong, but also had almost terrifying wit, and both of these aspects overwhelmed Cao Fangcun.

It could be said that Chen Tian was an almost perfect person. Anyone would appear dull in front of him, even Cao Fangcun, the young master of the Cao family.

Thinking of this, Cao Fangcun couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He finally realized that the Chen Tian in front of him was no longer the Chen Tian he had seen for the first time.

Compared to the previous Chen Tian, the current Chen Tian was already a terrifyingly powerful existence. No matter how unwilling Cao Fangcun was, he did not dare to show any contempt.

In fact, according to Chen Tian's original plan, he wanted to leave after obtaining the Nirvana Pill, but after hearing Cao Fangcun's explanation about the Heavenly Dao Spring, Chen Tian suddenly changed his mind.

Because according to what Cao Fangcun said, taking a drop of Heavenly Dao Spring water could increase one's cultivation by hundreds of years. This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for Ninghai realm cultivators whose cultivation increased at a snail's pace.

And although Cao Fangcun didn't say it, Chen Tian could still guess that the function of the Heavenly Dao Spring might not be just to increase cultivation, but might also have another miraculous effect.

Because if it wasn't the case, Cao Fangcun and the Cao family wouldn't have spent tens of thousands of years searching for it.

It's just that Cao Fangcun looks refined and loyal on the surface, but in reality, he is also a very scheming person. He didn't tell Chen Tian all the truth about the Heavenly Dao Spring, but only told a small part of its functions out of context.

But even so, this glimpse of the iceberg still made Chen Tian excited, so he made up his mind to get some Heavenly Dao Spring no matter what.

However, Chen Tian also knew that not only Cao Fangcun, but everyone else was here for this treasure, so it was foreseeable that once they entered the fourth level and saw the legendary Heavenly Dao Spring, attracted by the huge temptation, everyone would definitely lose their minds and make some crazy moves.

This was not the situation that Chen Tian wanted to see, so in order to avoid possible riots, Chen Tian felt that it was necessary to give them some warning first.

And the best warning in the world was their fear.

Chen Tian showed his strength without any scruples just to make everyone feel fear. Only when they were all afraid of you would they become obedient, because they knew that once they moved rashly, the consequences would be extremely tragic.

And this was the purpose that Chen Tian wanted to achieve.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian slowly glanced at everyone, and when they saw Chen Tian's gaze sweeping over, everyone felt a chill in their hearts and couldn't help but take a step back.

Seeing this situation, Chen Tian couldn't help but feel a hint of joy in his heart, because he knew that this goal had been achieved!

After taking in everyone's frightened expressions, Chen Tian nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Although I believe that the Heavenly Dao Spring must be hidden in the fourth level, according to the previous situation, there must be even more terrifying dangers in this fourth level. Once we break in, even I can't guarantee whether we will live or die. It can be said that life and death are unpredictable!"

"Hmm? Are you trying to persuade us to give up, Chen bro?" Hearing Chen Tian's words, Cao Fangcun seemed to realize something and frowned.

"Not at all, not at all..." However, Chen Tian shook his head repeatedly after hearing this: "I don't mean to persuade you to give up, I'm just analyzing the situations you might encounter later for you. And I believe that even if I persuade you to give up now, I'm afraid everyone will feel unwilling, right?"

"That goes without saying! Even if I have to risk my old life today, I must get the Heavenly Dao Spring! Otherwise, I will never be reconciled!" Just after Chen Tian finished speaking, the gray-robed elder immediately agreed.

After all, he had less than five hundred years left to live. If he didn't have this Heavenly Dao Spring, then even if he went out, he could only wait to die slowly in loneliness. So instead of that, it's better to risk it now! Without risking it, there is no chance at all. With risking it, there may still be a glimmer of hope.

No matter how you look at it, it's more cost-effective to take a gamble!

Thinking like this, the gray-robed elder's eyes became more and more determined!
