Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Seeing Chen Tian's surprised expression, Cao Qinghua smiled and said, "Brother Yang, please don't overthink it. Since you helped our Hai Lan Sect eliminate those eight wicked thieves, then this reward will naturally belong to you. I just want to take this Execution Order back to the sect to help you claim the reward. That way, after you return from the ancient battlefield, you can immediately receive all the rewards. Could it be that Brother Yang doesn't trust me and thinks I would embezzle your reward?"

At this time, Cao Qinghua actually joked with Chen Tian, which was rare for him.

After hearing this, Chen Tian immediately understood his thoughts.

In fact, Cao Qinghua's actions were out of good intentions.

As a hidden and powerful sect, the Hai Lan Sect has strict rules. Unless one is a disciple of the sect, outsiders cannot easily enter. Therefore, when Chen Tian goes to claim the reward, he can only be arranged at the foot of the mountain gate and not allowed to enter.

Such an approach, while demonstrating the status of the Hai Lan Sect, is undoubtedly a form of contempt for visitors. Chen Tian is indebted to Cao Qinghua, and he naturally doesn't want Chen Tian to suffer any humiliation.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Cao Qinghua took the initiative to help Chen Tian claim the reward, so as to avoid Chen Tian feeling unhappy at that time.

Chen Tian now understood that this was Cao Qinghua's good intention, so he couldn't help but cupped his fist and said, "If Brother Cao is willing to help, then it will really save me a lot of time. I'm happy to help, so how could I worry? Then I'll leave everything to Brother Cao."

"Ah, Brother Yang, there's no need to be so polite. This is all I should do." After Cao Qinghua smiled modestly, he said, "Alright, it's getting late. If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave first."

With that, Cao Qinghua cupped his fist at Chen Tian and then prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

Just at this moment, Chen Tian suddenly spoke and stopped him.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Brother Yang? Could it be that you still have something to tell me?" Cao Qinghua turned around and asked in confusion.

"There is indeed something." Chen Tian nodded, then leaned close to Cao Qinghua's ear and whispered.

Because Chen Tian spoke in a very low voice, outsiders could not know what he said.

However, after Cao Qinghua listened, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Brother Yang, are you really planning to do this?"

"That's right. Please, Brother Cao, you must help me with this." Chen Tian nodded solemnly.

Cao Qinghua pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, since it's Brother Yang's intention, then I'll do as you say. We'll meet again later."

With that, Cao Qinghua stopped talking, turned around, and led the Hai Lan Sect members away.

As soon as they left, the Ascension Platform immediately erupted, and people began to talk to each other.

Although they still had hope in their hearts, thinking that the handprint could erupt with a third wave of Heavenly Dao Intent, but after waiting for so long, there was no movement at all, so they guessed that this matter was probably hopeless.

As a result, whether to leave or stay became the focus of their consideration.

Just as they were deeply confused about this, the sudden departure of the Hai Lan Sect undoubtedly became the last straw that broke their psychological defense.

Since someone took the lead, some cultivators who couldn't hold back any longer immediately followed behind the Hai Lan Sect members and walked out.

At the same time, another group of cultivators, although they couldn't wait any longer, did not leave. Instead, they flew deeper into the Ruins of the Demon Realm.

That was the passage to the ancient battlefield of the Immortal-Demon War.

In other words, these people had the same idea as Chen Tian, which was to go to the ancient battlefield to investigate.

So, next, the people present were divided into three groups.

One group, like Cao Qinghua, knew that their strength was insufficient, so they flew in the direction of the Immortal Gate, intending to leave.

Another group, not knowing what they were planning, turned around and flew in the direction of the ancient battlefield, wanting to continue exploring.

As for the remaining group of people, they neither wanted to go to the ancient battlefield nor wanted to leave like this, so they still waited around the giant pit of the handprint, expecting a miracle to happen.

These people had not snatched any Heavenly Dao Intent earlier. They were really unwilling, so they had to resort to this act of waiting for the rabbit.

Chen Tian glanced at them, and a strange look couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

The strength of these people was not ordinary. As soon as they entered the area of the ancient battlefield, their faces couldn't help but become restrained. They released all their spiritual senses and looked around extremely carefully, guarding against any possible changes.

After flying for a while, a huge vortex that looked like a nebula suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

This vortex was extremely vast. People standing in front of it were as small as tiny ants and insignificant!

Even compared to the thousand-foot Immortal Gate, this vortex gave people an even greater sense of shock!

However, at the moment when they saw this huge vortex appear, the expressions on everyone's faces couldn't help but become excited. Without any hesitation, they accelerated and swooped down. Before long, they drilled into the vortex.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian was startled in his heart for a while, and then, like the others in front, he suddenly accelerated and drilled into the vortex.

Just as he was in the vortex, Chen Tian noticed that there was a huge suction force that was pulling his body down rapidly.

In the face of this huge force, Chen Tian couldn't even move and could only let it manipulate him.

However, after falling down for a while, Chen Tian suddenly saw a scene that shocked him.
