Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Anyone with even a slight understanding of the cultivation world knows that besides the major powers on the surface, there are also many hidden forces lurking in unknown corners.

For example, Cao Qinghua's Hailan Sect and He Busi's Longting Pavilion are both super forces hidden behind the scenes.

Of course, besides these two, there are many other sects that have chosen to live in seclusion for various unspeakable purposes.

Among them are the Ningyuan Sect in the south and the Huarong Palace in the north.

Speaking of the Sect Leaders of these two sects, they are actually old acquaintances of Chen Tian. They are the gray-robed old man Ning Tianxing and the middle-aged beautiful woman Mei Jiaoniang, who entered the ancient ruins with him.

After obtaining a drop of the Heavenly Dao Spring, the two of them immediately returned to their respective sects and announced that they would immediately go into seclusion to try to break through to the Zhutian Realm.

But at this moment, a strange thing happened.

In general sects, in order to prevent accidents from happening to their disciples, they would make soul tablets for them and place them in a special hall, with people patrolling every day. As soon as a soul tablet is found broken, everyone will know that something must have happened to this person, or that they have fallen into a huge crisis, so that they can be rescued immediately.

And on this day, the Ningyuan Sect and the Huarong Palace both experienced the same shocking thing.

When these two sects were routinely checking their respective soul tablets every day, they were surprised to find that the soul tablet in the first row had mysteriously broken!

In a sect, the soul tablet that can be placed in the first position is either their Sect Leader or their surviving ancestor.

Therefore, after discovering this shocking event, the two families immediately rushed to the place where their Sect Leaders were in seclusion to check. Sure enough, Ning Tianxing and Mei Jiaoniang had died tragically in their seclusion places for some unknown reason.

A large number of fighting traces were left around, obviously someone had rushed in and had a big fight with them.

After some investigation, the two found that the Heavenly Dao Spring in Ning Tianxing and Mei Jiaoniang's hands had mysteriously disappeared.

In other words, the murderer who broke in came for the Heavenly Dao Spring.

Losing the Sect Leader and the Heavenly Dao Spring is an extremely tragic price for both sects.

In a fit of rage, they joined forces to thoroughly investigate the matter.

At this moment, another message came that Pu Suanzi, a member of the Shendao Sect, had also been poisoned to death during his seclusion and had lost the Heavenly Dao Spring.

However, this time, the murderer left a small clue because he left in a hurry, which was a 'Wu Zhu Flower' that only grows in the depths of the Northwest Mountains.

The growing range of this Wu Zhu Flower roughly overlaps with the area controlled by the Cao family.

In other words, the murderer who killed Pu Suanzi, Ning Tianxing, and Mei Jiaoniang is very likely to be from the Cao family!

After receiving this news, the Ningyuan Sect, Huarong Palace, and Shendao Sect immediately hit it off and sent troops to crusade against the Cao family.

But when they came to the Cao family and questioned Cao Fangcun, Cao Fangcun seemed confused and repeatedly stated that they were being wronged.

But since things had come to this point, how could everyone believe his sophistry, so without saying a word, they launched a fierce battle with the Cao family.

The tragic situation of the battle can be described as appalling. Whether it was the Cao family or the Ningtianzong and Huarong Palace who came from afar, both suffered heavy losses.

In the end, because the Cao family relied on their accumulation of tens of thousands of years and the convenience of the terrain, they barely resisted the joint efforts of the three families, and eventually everyone drew a tie.

However, during this battle, the Heavenly Dao Spring that Cao Fangcun had obtained also mysteriously disappeared.

At this point, the Heavenly Dao Springs owned by the Cao family, Ningtianzong, and Huarong Palace had all disappeared without a trace.

Only then did they seem to have realized something, stopped fighting, and instead sent troops to investigate the reasons.

Soon, some investigation reports gradually came together, and all the clues pointed to the Shendao Sect… Kong Lingzi!

After receiving this report, the three families were greatly shocked, but soon, they ordered to stop the investigation and led their troops back. Since then, their whereabouts have become even more secretive. For more than ten years, they have never appeared in the cultivation world again!

Of course, because these families are all sects living in seclusion, even if such fierce things happened between them, in the cultivation world, it was only like a small wave stirred up by a stone, and it was soon submerged in the many noisy and trivial matters.

Its influence is far less eye-catching than the infighting in the Wuying Palace. Only a small number of cultivators know about this!

However, no matter what, in these ten years, every day, every second, in every unknown corner, all kinds of bizarre and incredible things are being staged.

Faced with these things, most cultivators have long been accustomed to it, and all they can do is take care of their own affairs.

Life continues to move forward in peace!

… … … … … … … …

Time flies, and nearly fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.

And on this day, an extremely strange thing happened in the Lanfang Sect.

As the sacred place of the Lanfang Sect, Panxiu Cave has always been a very mysterious place. Ordinary disciples are not qualified to approach this place at all, and can only watch from a distance.

Upon noticing this unusual phenomenon, a handsome middle-aged man immediately stepped out of his room and flew out. With a light flick of his sleeves, he shot out a restriction, covering the area within thirty feet of Panxiu Cave. No one was allowed to set foot in it.

After doing all this, his expression was solemn and he looked suspiciously towards Panxiu Cave.

“It's done, it's done! It's finally done. Yun'er has finally integrated the Lanfang Sutra!”

At this moment, a voice that was both old and filled with joy came over. He turned his head and saw an old woman with all white hair flying over quickly.

This person is actually Li Qianyun's master, Madam Luya!
