Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

He Bu Si didn't seem to notice the change in Chen Tian's expression. After a hearty laugh, he stepped forward and teased, "Brother Yang, what exactly happened to you? Why are you in such a sorry state? Even a mere Transformation Spring Realm cultivator dares to offend you?"

Although he suspected He Bu Si's intentions, Chen Tian was certain of one thing: this person harbored no malice. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped Chen Tian kill the blue-robed man earlier.

Thinking of this, the smile returned to Chen Tian's face. He chuckled softly and said casually, "It's nothing, I just returned from the south side."

"What? The south side?" Upon hearing Chen Tian's words, He Bu Si, who had been smiling, suddenly froze. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Brother Yang, are you saying you just returned from the south side of the ancient battlefield?"

Not only him, but everyone else present also showed a look of horror upon hearing Chen Tian's words. They all stared at him intently, as if waiting for Chen Tian's answer.

They naturally knew that the current changes in the ancient battlefield had started from the south side. It had already become a wasteland. If Chen Tian had truly returned from there, it would mean that he was at the center of the great crisis when the changes occurred.

Chen Tian slowly scanned the crowd, seemingly knowing what they were thinking. He smiled and said, "If I hadn't returned from the south side, I wouldn't have been so seriously injured. It's all because of my lack of strength."

Chen Tian's words were equivalent to completely admitting that he had returned from the south side of the ancient battlefield.

He Bu Si's face immediately turned bitter as he clasped his fist and said, "Brother Yang is truly modest. From what I know, seventeen people have lost their lives in this change. Fifteen of them were on the south side of the ancient battlefield when it happened. Brother Yang is the only person I've seen who has escaped from the south side of the ancient battlefield."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing He Bu Si's words, Chen Tian was slightly surprised. If what he said was true, then the harm caused by this change was simply immeasurable. The cultivators on the south side of the ancient battlefield must have met a certain death.

If that was the case, then Lu Sheng must have also lost his life long ago.

Chen Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, he was only focused on escaping at the time and didn't personally witness Lu Sheng's final outcome. However, based on Chen Tian's judgment, he believed that the disaster was caused by Lu Sheng's self-destruction. In addition, He Bu Si said that the south side of the ancient battlefield had become a wasteland, and those who were in it would certainly die.

Then it could naturally be determined that Lu Sheng must have also died in this change.

Thinking this way, Chen Tian's expression immediately became relaxed, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He Bu Si, however, found Chen Tian's alternating expressions of surprise and smiles very perplexing, but for him, all of this was no longer important.

At this moment, He Bu Si looked at Chen Tian again with a serious and earnest gaze.

Although Chen Tian had repeatedly said that he was a rogue cultivator, He Bu Si now felt that this was not the case.

He Bu Si believed that Chen Tian must be lying. He must be a core disciple cultivated with all his might by a large family or sect. This time, he was sent into the Demon Domain Ruins to train him.

Otherwise, He Bu Si really couldn't think of any other reason.

One must know that although rogue cultivators are very free, it is difficult for them to cultivate to a higher realm due to the lack of support from large sects and families, let alone show inhuman feats like Chen Tian.

According to He Bu Si's speculation, although Chen Tian seemed to only have the cultivation of the early Sea凝 Formation Realm, his true strength had already reached or surpassed that of an ordinary mid-Sea凝 Formation Realm cultivator.

Unless there was a large family or sect behind him for support, how could a mere rogue cultivator do all of this?

So, after re-examining him for a while, He Bu Si defined Chen Tian as a core disciple from a hidden great sect or family who was out to gain experience.

Only this identity could explain all the amazing feats Chen Tian had displayed.

Thinking of this, He Bu Si's gaze towards Chen Tian became even more fearful. He thought to himself that he must try his best to win Chen Tian over and must never offend him.

After taking a deep breath, He Bu Si's expression suddenly became serious, and he clasped his fist at Chen Tian and said, "Brother Yang, there are some things I want to talk to you about alone. Can we take a step to talk?"

At this time, Chen Tian didn't know that He Bu Si had various misunderstandings about his identity. Considering that He Bu Si had helped him before, Chen Tian didn't think much about it and nodded slightly, indicating his approval.

Seeing this, He Bu Si hurriedly walked to the rubble where Chen Tian was, and then with a wave of his left hand, a light blue light curtain formed around them.

Within this light curtain, outsiders could not hear what they were saying.

Looking at He Bu Si's cautious and careful gaze, Chen Tian frowned slightly and asked suspiciously, "Brother He, what do you want to say? You can say it now, right?"

He Bu Si nodded, and then said with a solemn face, "Brother Yang, you probably don't know my identity yet, right?"

"Hmm?" Chen Tian frowned slightly after hearing this. Indeed, Chen Tian didn't know what He Bu Si's identity was. Judging from his previous and current behaviors that were like two different people, this He Bu Si should have a great background.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian became very interested in He Bu Si's identity.

He Bu Si looked at the suspicious look on Chen Tian's face and didn't dare to hide anything. He immediately said, "Actually, I come from the Dark Nether Valley, Dragon Court Pavilion."

"What? You are from the Dragon Court Pavilion?"

After hearing He Bu Si announce his family background, Chen Tian's expression suddenly changed. He knew about this Dragon Court Pavilion. This was a sect whose strength was no weaker than the Brahma Heaven Sect.

Two thousand years ago, the Dragon Court Pavilion and the Brahma Heaven Sect had a major fight in order to compete for the number one sect in the cultivation world.

It was just that at that time, because the Brahma Heaven Sect's ancestor used an ancient immortal treasure to suddenly display his divine power, he consecutively killed several Dragon Court Pavilion's founders, greatly injuring the Dragon Court Pavilion's vitality, and barely won this victory.

And from then on, the Brahma Heaven Sect established its dominant position, while the Dragon Court Pavilion mysteriously disappeared from people's sight.

Originally, people thought that the Dragon Court Pavilion had completely disappeared, but unexpectedly, at this time, He Bu Si actually said that he was from the Dragon Court Pavilion.

What exactly is going on?
