Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"It's very simple." Facing Wu Chun's astonished expression, a look akin to a fish being hooked suddenly appeared on Chen Tian's face, and he said with a strange smile, "I've heard that within your Wuhua Sect, there's a very unique cave, containing extremely rich spiritual energy. Rumor has it that even ordinary people without any talent for cultivation can awaken a certain level of intelligence and embark on the path of immortality after spending a few days inside. Is there such a thing?"

"What Senior is referring to, could it be our Wuhua Sect's sacred ground... the Jade Radiance Cave?" Upon hearing Chen Tian's description, Wu Chun seemed to understand something and was immediately astonished.

"That's right, perhaps it is this Jade Radiance Cave! Tell me quickly, what is so magical about this Jade Radiance Cave?" Chen Tian's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light, as if extremely excited, and he eagerly pressed for an answer.

"Senior, this Jade Radiance Cave is our Wuhua Sect's secret sacred ground, only known to high-level disciples. How did you find out about it?" However, facing Chen Tian's happiness, Wu Chun seemed even more puzzled. After all, as the foundation of the entire Wuhua Sect, the existence of the Jade Radiance Cave has always been known only to a few high-level members and some elite disciples. Apart from them, it has always been kept secret from the outside world.

To put it this way, although Wu Chun and Wu Cai were both at the Spirit Gathering stage, the sect only told Wu Chun about the secret of the Jade Radiance Cave. As for Wu Cai, even until his death, he remained unaware that there was such a cave within the Wuhua Sect.

The purpose of doing so was to minimize the number of people who knew about the Jade Radiance Cave, so as to better protect this greatest secret within the Wuhua Sect. Therefore, apart from promising disciples like Wu Chun, everyone else was kept silent!

It was precisely because he understood this that Wu Chun felt so incredulous as to why Chen Tian would know about the Jade Radiance Cave.

However, what Wu Chun didn't understand was that with his strength, he had no right to question Chen Tian at all. Doing so would only further anger Chen Tian.

Sure enough, after hearing Wu Chun's tactless words, the excited expression on Chen Tian's face instantly turned gloomy, a cold light flickered in his eyes, and a huge pressure spread out, pinning Wu Chun to the spot, unable to move.

"Now I am asking you, not you asking me. Of course, you can choose not to answer, but you should understand the consequences!"

Chen Tian's tone was somber. After saying that, an even greater pressure, overwhelming like the sky, was applied to Wu Chun's body.

"Bang!"

Wu Chun was originally kneeling on both knees, but now, after enduring this immense pressure, heavier than Mount Tai, the cyan floor tiles under his knees suddenly shattered and sank deeply.

Seeing this scene, Wu Chun was extremely frightened and quickly begged for mercy: "Senior, please calm your anger. I misspoke for a moment and asked questions I shouldn't have. I hope Senior won't hold it against me and withdraw your divine power."

Wu Chun could feel that if Chen Tian applied a little more pressure, then the meridians throughout his body would instantly burst open, causing him to bleed to death!

"Hmph, this is the second time I've spared you, but there won't be a third. I hope you keep this in mind."

Looking at Wu Chun's panicked appearance, Chen Tian snorted coldly and instantly withdrew the spiritual power he had released.

"Hoo..."

A moment ago, Wu Chun felt as if he had a giant mountain on his back, but after Chen Tian withdrew the pressure, he immediately took a long breath, and his originally terrified state of mind gradually calmed down.

After regaining his senses, Wu Chun couldn't help but smile bitterly. He felt that he was stupid enough. With a celestial expert like Chen Tian, wouldn't it be easy to inquire about the secrets of a mid-level sect?

Moreover, Chen Tian's purpose in disguising himself as a new disciple and infiltrating their Wuhua Sect was probably ultimately for this Jade Radiance Cave. From this, it could be seen that his previous inquiry was purely redundant. Not only was it useless, but it also displeased Chen Tian, who punished him. This was truly a case of losing both the lady and the army.

However, from this incident, Wu Chun also figured out some of Chen Tian's temperament, knowing that Chen Tian was a decisive person who would never allow others to disobey his orders, otherwise, it would only bring hardship.

Wu Chun was also considered clever. After suffering a series of sanctions, he no longer dared to easily touch Chen Tian's tiger's butt. He immediately sat up straight, his expression serious, and said, "To be honest, Senior, this Jade Radiance Cave is a very special existence within our Wuhua Sect. According to rumors, a cultivator named Jade Radiance Fairy once cultivated here, and eventually achieved the Great Dao and ascended to the Upper Realm. The cave where she secluded herself, because it absorbed the spiritual energy emanating from her body and the Daoist artistic conception she comprehended for many years, became extremely spiritual and could autonomously absorb the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Our ancestors of the Wuhua Sect also discovered this cave by chance, and used it as the foundation to build the current Wuhua Sect."

Speaking up to this point, Wu Chun didn't continue, but raised his head and cautiously glanced at Chen Tian, as if observing Chen Tian's expression.

At this time, after listening to Wu Chun's narration, Chen Tian couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

After a long while, some brilliance re-emerged in Chen Tian's eyes, and he nodded, "I understand the origin of this cave. Now I want you to do something, I wonder if you are willing?"

"Alas, Senior, even if you don't say it, I know what you want me to do! But unfortunately, I can't satisfy you on this matter. Don't blame me, after all, as far as I'm concerned now, even if you beat me to death, I can't do it!" However, just after Chen Tian finished speaking, Wu Chun revealed a helpless expression and smiled bitterly.

"Oh, do you really know what I want to say?" Looking at Wu Chun's appearance, Chen Tian showed a look of interest and asked him.

Wu Chun spread his hands after listening, and said helplessly: "If I'm not mistaken, Senior should have cultivated to a bottleneck, so you want me to help you enter that Jade Radiance Cave, right? After all, you should also know that this Jade Radiance Cave is most suitable for us cultivators to seclude ourselves and break through."

"Oh, do you think I want to enter that Jade Radiance Cave because I want to seclude myself and cultivate?" After listening to Wu Chun's guess, the playful look on Chen Tian's face became even stronger.

"Huh, isn't that so?" Looking at Chen Tian's strange appearance, Wu Chun also showed a puzzled expression, scratching his head in confusion.

Seeing this, Chen Tian didn't intend to explain. After thinking for a while, he suddenly spoke again: "Let's say you guessed right, I do have something I want to enter that Jade Radiance Cave for. But why do you say that this matter can't be done? Could it be that there are some difficulties?"
