Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Duanmu Ya was originally enthusiastically lecturing Chen Tian, but was suddenly interrupted by his surprised exclamation. A trace of doubt appeared on Duanmu Ya's face, and he said, "Little brat, what are you making such a fuss about? Don't you want to accept my criticism? You're still young, and I'm criticizing you for your own good, so don't… Hey… where are you going again?"

While Duanmu Ya was rambling to himself, Chen Tian stared intently at a certain spot, his body transforming into a stream of light as he rapidly descended from the bone tower.

In a short while, Chen Tian arrived at the pond in front of the bone tower, his gaze shifting as he stared at the water's surface, seemingly looking for something.

On the other side, Duanmu Ya, noticing Chen Tian's strange behavior, couldn't help but feel curious. He floated over and asked, "Little brat, what are you doing? Are you so heartbroken by my scolding that you want to jump into the river?"

Duanmu Ya was actually joking with Chen Tian.

However, Chen Tian ignored him, continuing to stare intently at the pond's surface.

Only then did Duanmu Ya believe that Chen Tian had definitely discovered something. So, he stopped his mockery, flew to his side, and asked, "Little brat, what's wrong?"

Chen Tian, still staring at the surface of the pond, said to Duanmu Ya, "Senior, please take a look at this reflection."

"Reflection?"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Duanmu Ya seemed somewhat baffled, but he still followed his line of sight and looked at the surface of the pond.

He saw the reflection of the bone tower on the water's surface. Because the water was calm, the reflection was very clear, without a single ripple, mirroring every detail of the bone tower.

Duanmu Ya stared at the identical reflection on the water's surface for a long time but couldn't find anything unusual. So, he couldn't help but ask with doubt, "Little brat, is there anything strange about this reflection? It looks normal to me."

"Normal? Heh heh…" Hearing Duanmu Ya's words, Chen Tian sneered and said, "Senior, I advise you to take another good look, especially the left half of the connection between the second and third floors."

"Hmm?"

Duanmu Ya felt suspicious. After giving Chen Tian a strange look, he refocused his gaze on the surface of the pond, especially scanning the left half of the connection between the second and third floors.

And upon this look, Duanmu Ya seemed to have discovered something as well, saying in surprise, "Little brat, what is this? Could it be that…?"

"That's right, this is the mechanism for the entrance!" Chen Tian took over Duanmu Ya's words and said decisively.

Hearing this, Duanmu Ya's heart pounded violently. After licking his lips, he looked at the surface of the pond again.

On the surface of the water, the reflection of the bone tower was calmly reflected, and at first glance, it didn't seem to be any different.

However, according to Chen Tian's words, when he looked at the connecting seam between the second and third floors, Duanmu Ya was indeed taken aback, because there, a skull different from ordinary skulls actually appeared.

All the nearby skulls were the remains of human cultivators, but this skull actually belonged to a demon beast.

This was the skull of an unknown demon beast, with a long horn growing on its head and fangs protruding from its mouth. Although it had long been weathered into a pale white skull, it still gave people an extremely fierce feeling.

But this was not the main point. What really shocked Duanmu Ya was that a very small key was hanging on the horn of the demon beast's skull!

This key was also made of bone, milky white all over, blending in with the surrounding scenery, so if you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find it!

"This is impossible!" Seeing the key hanging on the demon beast's skull, Duanmu Ya shook his head repeatedly, saying in disbelief, "I just patrolled the bone tower several times, and I also carefully looked at the connection between the second and third floors. I didn't find this strange demon beast skull! How did it suddenly pop up? Could it be that I'm seeing things?"

After saying that, Duanmu Ya rubbed his eyes, and the confusion in his eyes became even stronger.

Hearing this, Chen Tian shook his head and laughed, saying, "Senior, you don't have to doubt your eyes, you didn't see it wrong just now! If you don't believe me, look back again."

Duanmu Ya frowned, and under suspicion, he turned his head to look at the bone tower.

Sure enough, at the connection between the second and third floors, all of them were the skulls of human cultivators, where was there any demon beast skull!

"Huh?"

Duanmu Ya was taken aback, and then looked at the pond again.

However, on the surface of the pond, the demon beast skull reappeared, with a key still hanging on its horn.

"What exactly is going on?" Duanmu Ya swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said incredulously, "Why are the bone tower and this reflection actually two different scenes?"

Indeed, generally the main body and the reflection will be the same thing. For example, if a willow tree grows by a lake, then what is reflected on the lake surface will definitely be all of this willow tree. It is impossible to change one of the willow branches into a jasmine flower. This is illogical!

However, what surprised Duanmu Ya was that at this time, the bone tower and its reflection actually showed two different scenes.

On the bone tower was the skull of a human cultivator, but in this water, it was actually replaced by a demon beast skull with a horn!

This kind of incredible scene was something Duanmu Ya had never seen before, so he was shocked.

But at this moment, Chen Tian suddenly shot out another ray of light, wrapped around Duanmu Ya's body, which was only three inches away from the water surface, and then pulled him back violently, throwing him heavily on the ground.

"Hey, little brat, enough! This is the second time you've stopped me, right? What's wrong this time?" Duanmu Ya asked Chen Tian with a displeased expression after standing up from the ground!
