Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Upon hearing the old man's words, the others were initially stunned, but then their faces lit up with intense excitement! They had come here through great difficulties, all for the sake of this Heavenly Dao Spring, hadn't they? And now, the Heavenly Dao Spring was right before their eyes, how could they not be thrilled?

However, unlike the others' surprise, Chen Tian's expression remained calm and unperturbed. He didn't look at the white spring on the Blood Mountain's summit, but instead focused his gaze on the northern direction of this blood sea.

Cao Fangcun shared in the others' excitement for a long time. After calming down slightly, he noticed Chen Tian's unusual behavior. Feeling puzzled, he came to Chen Tian's side and whispered, "Brother Chen, what are you looking at?"

Hearing this, Chen Tian finally retracted his gaze, but a trace of doubt still lingered between his brows. Pointing towards the distant sky, he frowned and said, "Brother Cao, look, what is that?"

"Hmm?"

Although Cao Fangcun was puzzled, he still followed the direction of Chen Tian's finger and looked into the distance.

Just now, everyone's attention had been focused on the massive Blood Mountain, so they hadn't noticed that in the northern direction of the blood sea, there was actually a strange stone platform.

Although it was far away and difficult to see clearly, Cao Fangcun's first impression of this stone platform was that it was eerie, extremely eerie!

Streams of deep purple mist emanated from the stone platform, adorning it with an extremely sinister and bizarre aura.

Seeing this scene, Cao Fangcun couldn't help but be astonished.

At the same time, the others had also recovered from their excitement and gathered around, looking towards the stone platform as well.

However, just like Cao Fangcun, after seeing the eerie appearance of the stone platform, a strong sense of surprise appeared on everyone's faces.

After exchanging glances, everyone's gaze ultimately fell on Chen Tian. After all, before entering, they had already reached a consensus that everything would be led by Chen Tian, and they shouldn't act rashly. So, they were seeking Chen Tian's opinion.

Seeing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. After all, these people were still quite obedient. After pondering for a moment, Chen Tian said softly, "That stone platform is too far away. We can't see anything clearly from here. How about we go forward together and see what's going on?"

There was nothing wrong with Chen Tian's suggestion, so everyone agreed without objection. After nodding, they followed him towards the stone platform.

The stone platform and the Blood Mountain were located in two different directions, one southeast and the other directly north. If they wanted to go to the stone platform, they would definitely have to move away from the Blood Mountain! According to everyone's wishes, they actually wanted to explore the Blood Mountain first. After all, the Heavenly Dao Spring they dreamed of might be on the summit of the Blood Mountain.

However, having cultivated to their current level, they were naturally not naive greenhorns. They knew that the stone platform was too strange, and there might be great dangers lurking on it. If they didn't investigate it first, they would always feel uneasy.

It was precisely because of this that everyone agreed with Chen Tian's point of view: first explore the stone platform, and then seek the Heavenly Dao Spring. Only in this way would it be the best strategy.

When they first entered, everyone had already released their spiritual senses to search the area, and they hadn't sensed the existence of any barriers. So, they didn't need to worry. They pushed their speed to the limit, flying towards the stone platform like lightning.

The violent speed generated a sonic boom. Wherever they passed, the blood sea below was stirred up into towering waves.

These bloods had been left for who knows how many years, and the smell was extremely unpleasant. As they rolled, waves of nauseating stench assaulted everyone's nostrils.

Although these smells couldn't harm them, everyone couldn't help but frown and reveal a hint of disgust when they smelled this rotten stench.

At the same time, a strange thought emerged in their minds: where did the blood here come from?

To think that this blood sea was tens of millions of miles wide, how many lives would need to be sacrificed to fill it!

Such a massive undertaking was beyond everyone's imagination, making them even more wary of the master who created this ruin.

However, they were by no means benevolent people to cultivate to this point. Although they were amazed by this blood sea, they didn't think too much about it. After all, their only purpose here was to obtain the Heavenly Dao Spring. As for how many people were killed to create this blood sea, they didn't bother to care.

Thinking this way, everyone's flying speed suddenly increased again, wanting to reach the stone platform before they were completely overwhelmed by the stench.

Just now, because the distance was too far, they couldn't directly understand the stone platform's size. But as they got closer and closer, everyone realized that the scale of this stone platform was far beyond their imagination!

The stone platform was about ten thousand feet long and a thousand feet wide, like a massive sea turtle, quietly floating on the blood sea.

Furthermore, the stone material used to build this stone platform was also extremely strange. It wasn't any of the materials known on the Qian Yuan Continent, but a semi-transparent purple jade that shimmered with a purple glow.

Those purple mists emanated from these purple jades.

Moreover, everyone could sense that these purple mists contained waves of bone-chilling coldness. The closer they got, the colder they felt.

When everyone flew to about five hundred feet in front of the stone platform, the surrounding temperature had already dropped to the extreme. The originally turbulent blood sea had now congealed into a thick layer of bright red ice.

Although Chen Tian and the others' cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, they still felt a slight chill in this purple mist. This scene couldn't help but shock everyone, so they released their protective spiritual light and continued to fly forward.

However, after flying another four hundred feet, when they were only a hundred feet away from the stone platform, the protective spiritual light that protected everyone lost its effect. The cold air poured in from all directions, freezing everyone and causing them to shiver.

"There's something strange here, everyone, let's not fly anymore, let's walk over." Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Chen Tian's face was gloomy as he ordered.

At this time, everyone was about to be unable to hold on, so after Chen Tian's voice fell, they landed one after another and walked towards the stone platform on foot on the thick ice formed by the blood.

Fortunately, it was less than a hundred feet away from the stone platform. Although the cold made everyone's speed extremely slow, after walking for a quarter of an hour, they finally stepped onto the surface of the stone platform.

At this moment, strange things happened again.

However, unlike everyone's vigilant expressions, when Chen Tian first stepped onto the stone platform, a storm suddenly erupted in his heart, as if he had seen something very incredible!
