Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Chen Tian was a little surprised. He didn't know why these people valued his jade pendant so much.

Chen Tian wasn't stupid. He could naturally see that the old man and the giant man were playing a double act, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, all to try and get the jade pendant in his possession.

'Could it be that this jade pendant has some important use?' After pondering for a while, Chen Tian thought to himself.

Suddenly, at this moment, Chen Tian remembered that when Song Lin sent him into the stone chamber, he had asked Chen Tian to take out the jade pendant for him to see and instructed Chen Tian that as long as he held this jade pendant, he would be worry-free.

Coupled with the scene just now, Chen Tian increasingly felt that there should be some hidden secret within this jade pendant.

And these six people obviously knew the secret, but they just wouldn't tell Chen Tian, and even staged a play to try and snatch the jade pendant from Chen Tian's hand.

In fact, Chen Tian almost handed over the jade pendant just now, but suddenly he had a bad feeling, and then he calmed down and saw through this charade.

Since the old man said that if Chen Tian didn't want to team up with them, he would have to hand over the jade pendant, but later Chen Tian suddenly changed his mind and expressed his willingness to join them, and in this way, they would have no excuse to make things difficult for Chen Tian.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian secretly glanced at the six people. He saw that except for the old man and the weak scholar, the other four were looking at Chen Tian with angry eyes, seemingly annoyed that they couldn't seize his jade pendant.

However, Chen Tian pretended not to notice and stood aside as if nothing had happened.

"Alright, everyone should have rested enough. Then let's hurry on our way and go to the 'Ascension Platform' as soon as possible to see it for ourselves!"

"Ascension Platform?"

Hearing the old man's words, Chen Tian's heart suddenly stirred. He had never heard of the term 'Ascension Platform'.

At this time, the old man glanced at everyone, and then took the lead to fly forward.

When the others saw this, they hurriedly followed.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian finally stopped thinking and deliberately waited until everyone had left before following unhurriedly.

Flying in front of Chen Tian was the weak scholar. Seeing his pale face and the way he coughed while flying, Chen Tian really couldn't imagine that this person was actually a late-stage Core Formation Realm cultivator.

Chen Tian remembered that when he had a conflict with the giant man just now, everyone else was unmoved, only he rushed out to help Chen Tian.

Although he didn't know whether his actions were also part of the act or from the heart, Chen Tian could be sure that this person might be someone he could befriend.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian accelerated slightly and caught up with the weak scholar, cupping his fist at him and saying, "Thank you for your help just now, Fellow Daoist. I am truly grateful."

"Cough, cough, you're welcome… I just did what little I could. Fellow Daoist, you don't need to take it to heart." Although his face was bloodless, the scholar still forced a smile at Chen Tian, giving people a sense of closeness.

Chen Tian's expression remained unchanged, and he opened his mouth and said, "My name is Yang Ming. May I know how to address you, Fellow Daoist?"

"Oh, Brother Yang, nice to meet you, nice to meet you! My name is He Busi." The scholar also hurriedly returned the greeting.

However, after pondering for a while, the scholar named He Busi suddenly showed a strange look on his face and smiled, "Brother Yang, you suddenly caught up with me, I'm afraid it's not just to chat, right? Could it be that you have something you want to ask me?"

Hearing He Busi's words, Chen Tian was slightly surprised, but soon, his expression returned to normal, and he smiled, "You really can't hide anything from Brother He. I do have something I want to ask for advice on."

He Busi chuckled and nodded, "It's not really asking for advice. As long as I can help Brother Yang, then I'll be very happy."

This He Busi was obviously also a shrewd person, speaking and treating people in all aspects, without revealing a trace of flaws, making people feel very comfortable.

Seeing this, Chen Tian didn't hesitate any longer and directly asked, "Alright, then I'll ask. What exactly is this 'Ascension Platform' that they were talking about just now? Can Brother He explain it to me?"

"Huh, Brother Yang, don't you even know what the Ascension Platform is and you still came in?" Hearing Chen Tian ask such a question, He Busi showed a very shocked expression.

He originally thought that people who could enter the Demonic Ruins should all know about the Ascension Platform.

Chen Tian noticed the strangeness on his face, so he smiled awkwardly, "To be honest, I have been living in the wilderness, burying myself in cultivation. I only accidentally obtained a qualification to enter the Demonic Ruins, and I came in with the purpose of broadening my horizons. As for other things, I know very little."

"Oh, so Brother Yang is a rogue cultivator." After hearing Chen Tian's far-fetched explanation, He Busi didn't know whether he really believed it or not, but he didn't expose it, and smiled, "Since that's the case, then I'll explain it to you."

And the starting point of the passage to the Ancient Immortal Realm was called the 'Ascension Platform'.

The two characters of 'Ascension' are also easy to understand, which means stepping up to ascend and ascending to the platform of Immortals.

At that time, the Building Heaven Realm also had another name, which was the 'Ascension Realm', meaning that it had the qualification to enter the Ascension Platform and ascend.

However, with the collapse of the Ancient Immortal Realm, this Ascension Platform was also destroyed. It was even heard that the impact generated when the Ancient Immortal Realm collapsed also spread down from the upper realm and hit this Ascension Platform.

Therefore, on this Ascension Platform, there are remnants of the spells and divine powers of ancient Immortals.

Even if people can no longer ascend to the platform now, it would be an extremely precious thing to find the Ascension Platform and comprehend the ancient Immortal spells left on it.

After all, after cultivating to the Core Formation Realm, if you want to go further, you need to comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

And because the Ascension Platform has the imprint of the Ancient Immortal Realm, if you can comprehend a trace of the power of the Heavenly Dao on it, it will also be of great benefit to the growth of the cultivator's strength.

In other words, this Ascension Platform has also become a rare treasure.

"Brother Yang, do you understand what I'm saying?"

After explaining the origin of the Ascension Platform, He Busi showed a strange look and asked Chen Tian.
