Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Chen Tian stared at the jade pendant for a while, finding nothing particularly special about it, except for a large turquoise stone embedded at its top.

Chen Tian withdrew his gaze and looked at Song Lin, asking with curiosity, "Brother Song, what is this jade pendant for?"

Song Lin, having recovered from his earlier frustration, smiled upon hearing Chen Tian's question, "This jade pendant is unique to our Frozen Demon Domain and is only possessed by those at the level of Grand Elder or above."

"Oh, so it's that precious." Chen Tian couldn't help but glance again at the unremarkable jade pendant, surprised.

"Indeed." However, at this moment, a strange look flashed across Song Lin's face as he smiled and said, "The reason this jade pendant is so precious is that only by holding it can one enter the Ruins of the Demon Domain."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Chen Tian's expression changed, and he frowned, "Could it be that this jade pendant contains some kind of magical power, allowing entry into the Ruins of the Demon Domain?"

"Haha, Brother Chen, you think too much." Song Lin laughed and shook his head at Chen Tian's guess, "This jade pendant has no magical power or special qualities. You can think of it as a queue number. Only by holding this jade pendant can you enter the Ruins of the Demon Domain."

Chen Tian originally thought that this jade pendant, like the Wind Spirit Orb used to enter the Fallen Immortal Valley, possessed some special power. However, after hearing Song Lin's words, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Judging from his words, this jade pendant has no special power but is equivalent to a number obtained when queuing. In other words, it is merely a qualification certificate to enter the Ruins of the Demon Domain.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian looked at the jade pendant again. Sure enough, at the very center of the jade pendant's front, a neatly written number '19' was engraved.

Seeing this, Chen Tian asked Song Lin with a puzzled expression, "What? Are there others besides me who want to enter the Ruins of the Demon Domain?"

"Hehe, Brother Chen, some questions, if you ask, I will definitely answer everything I know! But there are also some questions that I cannot reveal a single word about, no matter how you press me, so… hehe… it's better not to ask."

To Chen Tian's surprise, Song Lin actually started to evade the question.

With a slight frown, Chen Tian asked suspiciously, "Is this question one that you cannot answer?"

"This…" Song Lin showed a troubled expression, and after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head again, "Brother Chen, please don't make things difficult for me."

Clearly, Song Lin could not answer Chen Tian's question.

Although Chen Tian was full of doubts, since Song Lin had already said so, he had no choice but to stop asking.

However, Chen Tian was certain that there should be many other powerful cultivators who had also requested to enter the Ruins of the Demon Domain.

But if that were the case, a trace of surprise suddenly arose in Chen Tian's heart.

One should know that Chen Tian is now a Core Formation Realm cultivator. Even so, he had to use his wits and bargain with Song Lin for a long time to enter the Ruins of the Demon Domain.

This shows that Chen Tian's strength and qualifications were originally insufficient to enter the Ruins of the Demon Domain.

In other words, the people who were invited by the Frozen Demon Domain to enter the Ruins of the Demon Domain must have cultivations far surpassing Chen Tian.

If that were really the case, wouldn't it mean that those who enter the Ruins of the Demon Domain with Chen Tian will be a group of old monsters whose strength is terrifyingly powerful?

Thinking of this, Chen Tian couldn't help but feel a little horrified.

"Brother Chen? Brother Chen? What's wrong?"

Song Lin naturally didn't know what Chen Tian was thinking at this moment. He only saw Chen Tian standing there blankly, with the expression on his face rapidly changing between doubt and surprise, and felt a little incredulous.

After hearing Song Lin's call, Chen Tian seemed to wake up from a dream. He instantly recovered from his deep horror, his expression became serious, and he pretended to be nonchalant, shaking his head and saying, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about some random things. Brother Song, please don't take it to heart."

"Haha, not at all, not at all. Brother Chen is too polite." Hearing Chen Tian's explanation, Song Lin laughed loudly and then handed the jade pendant over again, saying, "Alright, Brother Chen, please accept this."

Looking at the jade pendant inlaid with turquoise, Chen Tian was hesitant for a long time, but soon, he showed a hint of decisiveness and took it from Song Lin's hand.

Chen Tian is not a timid person. The secrets hidden in the Ruins of the Demon Domain are very important to him.

With a flip of his right hand, Chen Tian put away the jade pendant that Song Lin gave him. After pondering for a while, he asked, "Then when will I be able to enter the Ruins of the Demon Domain?"

"Hehe, Brother Chen, don't be so anxious." Song Lin immediately smiled apologetically and said, "The Ruins of the Demon Domain cannot be entered at any time. We need to go back and make some preparations. Only after reaching a state of perfection can we invite Brother Chen to enter, so I hope Brother Chen can be patient."

Hearing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but nod his head. In fact, he was not in a hurry to enter the Ruins of the Demon Domain now, after all, Chen Tian also had to make some preparations before that.

After listening to the Mad Old Man's description, Chen Tian knew that the Ruins of the Demon Domain were extremely dangerous. Without thorough preparation, entering rashly would only lead to a narrow escape from death!

However, even so, Chen Tian didn't want to wait blindly and indefinitely. After pondering for a while, he looked at Song Lin again and asked, "I can understand your feelings, but you should at least give me a rough timeframe, right? When exactly will I be able to enter the Ruins of the Demon Domain?"
