Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Thank you for your explanation, Brother He. I think I understand now.” Chen Tian showed an unprecedentedly serious expression on his face and thanked He Busi.

He Busi smiled and waved his hand, then stopped talking and focused on following the group forward.

At this time, Chen Tian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If what He Busi said was true, then this Ascension Platform was indeed extraordinary.

First of all, this Ascension Platform was the starting point for cultivators in the Sky Building Realm to ascend to the Ancient Immortal Realm. It can be said that it has absorbed countless spiritual energies over a long period of time. Secondly, after the collapse of the Ancient Immortal Realm, a trace of the shock actually spread to this Ascension Platform. This is a very big deal!

You must know that for cultivators in the凝海 (Ninghai) Realm to improve their strength, burying themselves in hard training is the worst strategy. Only by studying the cycle of the Heavenly Dao and the changes of cause and effect, and comprehending a trace of mystery from it, is the best strategy.

If there is a trace of imprint from the Ancient Immortal Realm on the Ascension Platform, then it must contain a powerful force of the Heavenly Dao.

If one could enter it and study it, perhaps they could comprehend a trace of the Heavenly Dao's mystery, and thus improve their cultivation!

After cultivating to the Ninghai Realm, Chen Tian found that trying to improve his cultivation was as slow as a snail's pace, so slow that it was maddening. Only by obtaining some great opportunity or great luck could he improve his strength.

Obviously, that Ascension Platform was exactly the great opportunity Chen Tian was looking for!

Faced with such a good opportunity, how could Chen Tian miss it?

Chen Tian had two purposes for entering this Demon Domain Ruins. One was to explore the site of the great battle between the Immortal and Demon races, and the other was to find some information about the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Therefore, after learning about the rumors of the Ascension Platform from He Busi, Chen Tian immediately became very interested. He felt that he must go and observe it, no matter what.

Of course, although Chen Tian was anxious in his heart, he did not show any abnormality on his face. He chatted and laughed with He Busi along the way, appearing extremely calm.

Occasionally, Chen Tian would also look up and secretly size up the others.

At this time, everyone had a serious look on their faces, closely following behind the old man, flying at high speed in the boundless and dark void.

The old man seemed to have been here before. He was calm and confident, leading everyone through this empty void.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a huge dark gate appeared in front of everyone.

This gate was too huge. Standing below and looking up, one could not see the end at a glance, as if it pierced straight into the sky.

However, for some unknown reason, this giant gate had become dilapidated, and even the two thousand-foot-long door rings were corroded with a layer of rust.

One of the door rings had even been cut in half by a sword, giving off a sense of ruin and vicissitudes.

Chen Tian did not hesitate any longer and quickly took out his own jade pendant from his storage ring and held it in his hand.

Seeing that everyone had taken out their jade pendants, the old man nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly, "Okay, everyone, follow me to open this giant gate."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man flew into the air and came to the door ring, embedding the jade pendant in his hand into a groove near the door ring.

There were six such grooves around, arranged in a plum blossom shape, and the patterns on the grooves were exactly the same as the jade pendant in Chen Tian's hand, obviously designed specifically for it.

Behind the old man, everyone flew up one after another and embedded the jade pendants in their hands into the remaining grooves.

“Brother Yang, let’s go too.” At this time, He Busi smiled heartily at Chen Tian and invited him.

Chen Tian nodded, and then flew into the air with him, embedding the jade pendant in his hand into the last two grooves.

“Pa da… Ka la… Ka la…”

When the last jade pendant was also embedded in the groove, suddenly, the seven jade pendants suddenly shone with brilliant light, and the huge gate suddenly made a strange noise and slowly opened.

“Now is the time, everyone, follow me in!”

When the door had just opened enough for one person to pass through, the old man suddenly shouted, then took the lead and flew up, turning into a light blue stream and rushing over.

Seeing this, the others naturally did not dare to delay and hurriedly followed behind the old man, rushing into the gap.

In a flash, all seven people safely passed through.

At this time, the giant gate had stopped opening, and with a "squeak", it closed at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt a burst of fear, because if they had been a little slower, they would have already turned into a pile of minced meat.

Chen Tian was also startled in his heart, took a few deep breaths, and slowly calmed down his flustered mood. However, after glancing at the old man, his face instantly turned gloomy.

At this time, the old man was holding seven jade pendants in his hand, which he had taken from the grooves when he passed through the giant gate first.

“Everyone, remember that whether you come in or go out, you need to gather the power of seven jade pendants to open this door. Okay, I will now return the jade pendants to everyone. You must keep them safe and not lose them.”

After explaining to everyone with a smile, the old man returned the jade pendants to them one by one.

However, when he came to Chen Tian, the old man hesitated and did not return the jade pendant to Chen Tian like the others. Instead, he clenched his hands and put it into his own storage bag.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian's originally gloomy face became even more livid, and he asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean by this?"

“Fellow Daoist, don’t misunderstand. I just said that this jade pendant is extremely important and is a necessary item to open this door. Fellow Daoist, your cultivation is the lowest among us. In order to prevent you from accidentally losing it, it is best for the old man to keep it. This is the most appropriate. What do you think?”

The old man glanced at Chen Tian, with a treacherous smile on his face!
