Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"I thought I would be able to use the passage here to ascend to the upper realm in the future, but it seems impossible now." Chen Tian said with a gloomy tone, looking at the broken disc.

Upon hearing this, the look of frustration on everyone's faces deepened. They had two purposes for this trip: one was to obtain the Heavenly Dao Spring water, and the other was for this passage.

However, to their disappointment, although the stone platform here was intact, the most crucial component, the circular stone disc, was damaged and unusable. Consequently, the entire teleportation passage lost its original function.

It has to be said that this made everyone feel a little regret.

However, after hearing Chen Tian's explanation, a hint of僥倖 arose in everyone's hearts. This is because, according to their original guess, this stone platform, like the Ascension Platform in the Ruins of the Demon Realm, directly led to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

However, Chen Tian said that this stone platform might have been built by the demon race. If that were the case, they didn't know where they would be teleported to if they used it. They might be teleported to the demon race's territory.

So, even if this passage were intact, after knowing the inside story, whether they would use it in the future was a difficult decision. After all, no one could predict what the consequences would be if they were really teleported to the demon race's territory.

Therefore, seeing that the passage was damaged, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because in this way, they would not have to worry about this problem anymore, and it also cut off their thoughts.

The gray-robed old man breathed a long sigh of relief, then said with a smile, "Alright, now that we've confirmed that this passage is damaged, how about we go and see the condition of the Heavenly Dao Spring?"

Hearing this, the slightly distressed expressions on everyone's faces immediately lit up with brilliance, and they became excited again.

After all, their biggest goal for this trip was the Heavenly Dao Spring, and other things could be put aside for now.

Because as long as they obtained the Heavenly Dao Spring, they would have a chance to break through the筑天境 (Building Heaven Realm), and when that time came, their lifespan would greatly increase, and methods for reaching the upper realm could be slowly sought out in the future.

So, for everyone, their current priority was to break through their cultivation and extend their lifespan! Only in this way could they overcome the current difficulties.

Thinking like this, everyone's eyes revealed a look of anticipation as they looked at Chen Tian, as if waiting for his reply.

Chen Tian naturally noticed the fiery gazes of the crowd, so he nodded and said, "Alright, since you fellow Daoists are so eager, let's go explore that Blood Mountain now."

Hearing Chen Tian's nod of agreement, the look of joy on everyone's faces deepened a bit again, and they were about to leave this place.

However, at this moment, Chen Tian suddenly took a few steps forward, waved his right hand, and a piece of purple light flew out, taking the circular stone disc into his storage ring.

When others saw this scene, they couldn't help but stop and stare at Chen Tian with strange and curious eyes.

Chen Tian's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "It's nothing. Although this disc cannot be used, the words and symbols on it are quite interesting. I want to take it back and study it. Is that okay?"

Although Chen Tian's tone was calm, his words faintly revealed a sharp domineering aura, causing everyone to tremble involuntarily upon hearing it.

Although they were a little doubtful about Chen Tian's purpose, they knew that Chen Tian was definitely not someone they could provoke. Moreover, the circular stone disc was already damaged and useless, so even if Chen Tian took it, it would not be any loss to them.

Thinking like this, everyone shut their mouths and did not ask any more questions.

Seeing this, Chen Tian nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Alright, time is of the essence, let's hurry up and go."

As he spoke, Chen Tian's figure lightly unfolded and flew towards the Blood Mountain.

When everyone saw this, a look of surprise reappeared in their eyes, and they followed closely behind Chen Tian, also flying towards the Blood Mountain.

This time, everyone spared no effort, and at full speed, it only took less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before they flew back to the front of the Blood Mountain again.

"Let's go up!" After looking up at the Blood Mountain from the foot of the mountain, Chen Tian's eyes flickered and he said softly.

Everyone nodded again after hearing this, and then their figures turned into streams of light, soaring straight up the Blood Mountain, and soon arrived at the summit.

It wasn't until they reached the top of the mountain that everyone could see clearly that the milky white light they had seen earlier was actually emitted from a white jade dragon head.

This was a dragon head statue, made entirely of crystal-clear white jade. The dragon's mouth was slightly open, and below it was a white vial, as if it were receiving the spring water gushing out of the dragon's mouth.

The dragon head statue and the white vial were a whole, combined to resemble a fountain device in a mortal courtyard.

Generally speaking, in such fountain devices, the spring water usually spurts out from the dragon's mouth and then flows into the white vial. But for some reason, the dragon head no longer sprayed water at this time, and the white vial was also empty, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

"This dragon head, could it be the Heavenly Dao Spring?"

When everyone saw all of this, the middle-aged beautiful woman frowned slightly and asked Cao Fangcun.

Because among the people present, only the Cao family knew what the Heavenly Dao Spring looked like, so they could only ask him for confirmation.

However, Cao Fangcun at this time seemed to have not heard the middle-aged beautiful woman's words at all. He was still staring at the dragon head statue in front of him, and his eyes showed undisguised excitement.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged beautiful woman and the gray-robed old man both felt puzzled. After clearing her throat, the middle-aged beautiful woman continued, "Young Master Cao, is this the Heavenly Dao Spring?"

Hearing this, Cao Fangcun seemed to have suddenly woken up. He smiled awkwardly and hurriedly nodded and said, "That's right, this is exactly the same as the description on the jade slip. That is to say, this dragon head is undoubtedly the Heavenly Dao Spring!"

Everyone had waited so hard and risked so much for this sentence!

So when Cao Fangcun just said it, everyone present was extremely excited, almost starting to dance on the spot.

Among the three, Pu Suanzi was the most calm, so after a burst of joy, he seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly dimmed again, and he frowned and asked, "Young Master Cao, since this is where the Heavenly Dao Spring is located, then where is the spring water? Where is it?"

Let me talk about the recent situation. A few days ago, I had the whim to buy a bag of Chongqing dried tofu, but all the flavors inside were spicy. Pickled peppers, mountain peppers, spicy flavors, and even barbecue flavors were all chili peppers. After only eating a few small bags, my stomach was so painful as if it was on fire that I wanted to hit the wall.

This chapter was started in the early morning, but because my stomach hurt so much, I wrote it intermittently until now, almost approaching dusk, and my body was covered in sweat, so uncomfortable.

Now that I think about it, I really admire the brothers in Sichuan, Chongqing, and Hunan. It's okay to eat spicy food every day. I'm almost exhausted.

I'll wait for the next few chapters to write after I take a break. It hurts so much!
