Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"Little one, this array diagram might need immortal crystal stones to activate. Why don't you give it a try?" At this moment, Duanmu Ya's voice rang out, confirming Chen Tian's guess.

Chen Tian nodded upon hearing this, and with a flip of his hand, he took out an immortal crystal stone and placed it in the rhomboid groove.

Then, Chen Tian retreated backward, seemingly wanting to see what kind of strange phenomena would occur next.

However, after a while, Chen Tian became somewhat frustrated because the circular array diagram didn't react at all. The immortal crystal stone just lay quietly in the groove.

"Hmm? What's going on?" Seeing this scene, Chen Tian pondered, feeling dejected.

After thinking for a while, Chen Tian couldn't figure out why. He saw that the rhomboid groove was quite large, perhaps needing more immortal crystal stones.

So Chen Tian took out two more immortal crystal stones and gently tossed them into the rhomboid groove.

Chen Tian initially thought that the amount of three immortal crystal stones would be enough!

But the next scene still left him feeling extremely helpless.

Although Chen Tian threw three immortal crystal stones into it, trying to activate the array diagram, the array diagram stubbornly remained unchanged, not even flashing with light.

"Hey, little one, it seems that the spiritual power needed to maintain the operation of this array is quite large. The amount of immortal crystal stones you've taken out is far from enough." At this moment, Duanmu Ya's voice came again, faint and ethereal.

"Not enough?" Upon hearing Duanmu Ya's analysis, Chen Tian immediately nodded and said, "Indeed, what you said makes sense. Since this array diagram is placed in the very center of the fourth level, it must be something very important, not something that can be activated with ordinary immortal crystal stones."

Having said that, a determined look appeared on Chen Tian's face. With a flip of his hand, he took out an immortal crystal stone that was noticeably larger than ordinary immortal crystal stones.

Moreover, this immortal crystal stone contained vast spiritual power, which ordinary immortal crystal stones couldn't compare to.

It was precisely the high-grade immortal crystal stone that Chen Tian had managed to obtain from Song Yi's side.

Chen Tian had only found four of these high-grade immortal crystal stones in total, and each one was incomparably precious, treasured by Chen Tian like a treasure.

But now, seeing that ordinary immortal crystal stones were useless to this array, Chen Tian had no choice but to take them out.

Reluctantly glancing at the high-grade immortal crystal stone in his hand, which shimmered with seven-colored light, Chen Tian sighed. Then, with a flick of his fingertip, he threw it into the rhomboid groove.

It was seen that the moment the high-grade immortal crystal stone entered the groove, the entire array diagram suddenly flashed with a magnificent brilliance, and then the fourth level where Chen Tian was began to shake violently.

When Chen Tian looked at the array diagram again, he found that it was spinning rapidly, the speed changing from slow to fast, eventually forming a light vortex shimmering with chaotic light, not knowing where it led.

At the same time, the heads piled up in the fourth level also seemed to come alive, making 'kacha'… 'kacha'… sounds while turning their heads, aiming their faces at Chen Tian.

These were the heads of peerless experts, and the cultivation of each head's owner before death was extraordinary. After all, they hadn't decayed even after thousands of years of wind and rain, which was enough to imagine their power.

These heads were male and female, old and young. Some faces were kind and amiable, like a gentle old grandpa next door, while some faces were fierce and malevolent, exuding an uncomfortable aura.

But without exception, streaks of blood that hadn't yet dried flowed from the mouths, noses, and ears of these people, appearing extremely eerie.

It was seen that at the instant these heads all turned to Chen Tian, their originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and cold, fierce lights flickered in their empty eyes, staring at Chen Tian like evil ghosts from the Nine Nether Hells, shouting, "Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!… … … … … …"

These heads seemed to only know how to say the word 'die' and nothing else.

Moreover, their originally calm faces gradually became hideous and terrifying because of the shouts.

There were nearly a thousand heads here, which meant that a thousand voices were simultaneously shouting the word 'die' in shrill tones.

In addition, they were extremely powerful cultivators before their deaths, so these thousand voices converged together, actually forming a powerful pressure, pressing down on Chen Tian like a mountain.

It was seen that Chen Tian's face wasn't looking good at this time. Under the crush of this terrifying aura, Chen Tian felt his blood churning in his body, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.

But fortunately, Duanmu Ya discovered Chen Tian's abnormality in time and quickly emitted a milky white light罩, enclosing Chen Tian within it.

Being in this light罩, although he could still hear the huge shouts outside, Chen Tian's complexion had improved a lot.

After some adjustment and rest, Chen Tian finally let out a long sigh and recovered.

"Thank you for your help, Senior!" After relaxing, Chen Tian thanked Han Wuming.

"Hehe, it's nothing." Duanmu Ya gave a strange laugh.

At this time, Chen Tian turned his head and glanced at the heads of these cultivators who were still shouting the word 'die'. He showed a strange expression and asked Duanmu Ya, "Senior, what exactly is going on with these heads? Why do they want to harm me?"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Duanmu Ya also slowly glanced at them, then frowned and said, "I think these heads don't have any malice, and they don't seem like they're trying to harm you. I think they seem to be venting their grievances and unwillingness."

"Hmm? Grievances and unwillingness?" Chen Tian was taken aback by Duanmu Ya's words. When he looked again, sure enough, in addition to the extremely hideous anger on these heads' faces, there was also a lingering melancholy, as if each of them had a sad story.

After withdrawing his gaze, Chen Tian seemed even more puzzled.

These heads were all powerful immortal cultivation experts before their deaths. Why would they die tragically here? And why would they still seem so aggrieved and unwilling even after death?

This was definitely an abnormal phenomenon, making Chen Tian unable to figure it out.

"Alas, little one, you still shouldn't bother with them. The most important thing now is to enter the real fourth level space through this light vortex and see what's there." At this time, Duanmu Ya's voice rang again, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

If it were the former Chen Tian, he would have plunged into the light vortex without thinking.

But now, after seeing such a strange change, Chen Tian had to be careful, because such a terrifying scene had appeared before even entering the real fourth level.

Therefore, Chen Tian believed that the fourth level must be full of dangers!
