Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

He Bu Si's goal was to further escalate the conflict between Chen Tian and Li Qianyun, ensuring they would never join forces.

This would allow him, with the deepest cultivation among the three, to control everything.

It must be said, this was an extremely brilliant move.

Unfortunately for him, Chen Tian saw through his little scheme.

From the beginning, Chen Tian had sensed something was amiss, and became wary.

Actually, Chen Tian could have refused everything just now, not requiring Li Qianyun to apologize. If that were the case, Li Qianyun would owe him a favor, and He Bu Si's plan would have completely failed.

It seemed like this could be a win-win situation.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, Chen Tian didn't do that. Instead, he openly accepted Li Qianyun's almost humble bow and apology, and even mocked her with words.

Chen Tian knew that doing so would not only fail to repair their relationship, but would also make them even more hostile, causing Li Qianyun to resent him for life.

At the same time, He Bu Si would surely be secretly pleased, because everything was proceeding according to his planned objective.

However, even so, Chen Tian still chose to anger Li Qianyun. The reason was simple: to Chen Tian, his biggest enemy at the moment was this flowery young woman known as the pride of heaven.

Chen Tian really hadn't expected that such a talented woman with extremely high talent would appear in the world of cultivation, breaking through to the凝海 (Ning Hai) realm in less than two hundred years.

Although Chen Tian hadn't used his full strength in the previous battle, he was certain that, at that level, he could easily obliterate any cultivator of the same rank.

But this Li Qianyun, although only at the early stage of the Ning Hai realm, had withstood Chen Tian's attack and still seemed to have energy to spare.

This greatly shocked Chen Tian, as he had never encountered such an evenly matched opponent.

So, in an instant, Chen Tian determined that if he allowed this woman to continue cultivating, she would definitely become a major threat to him in the future!

This woman's cultivation talent could be called heaven-defying, and Chen Tian had to find a way to curb her.

It was with this goal in mind that Chen Tian made such a choice.

He deliberately followed He Bu Si's arrangement, accepting the woman's bow and apology, while also using words to stimulate and mock her, greatly damaging her self-esteem.

Chen Tian believed that everything that had happened today had left an indelible memory in Li Qianyun's mind.

It had also dealt a heavy blow to her Dao heart, which she had cultivated to this point!

From now on, Chen Tian's figure would repeatedly flash in Li Qianyun's mind, forever reminding her of the humiliation she had suffered today.

And in this way, Li Qianyun would develop a sliver of心魔 (xin mo - inner demon) towards Chen Tian.

No matter what level she cultivated to in the future, as long as she faced Chen Tian, her state of mind and emotions would become chaotic, leaving an opening!

And Chen Tian could seize this opening, thereby always maintaining the upper hand in battle.

So, after comprehensive consideration, Chen Tian made such a decision. He had to make himself Li Qianyun's nightmare that she could never get rid of, making Li Qianyun fear him at all times!

This deal was worth it!

At this time, Li Qianyun seemed to have calmed down. She glared fiercely at Chen Tian, and then followed behind He Bu Si and flew forward.

Chen Tian looked at all of this, touched his nose with a smile, and finally moved, chasing after the two of them.

He Bu Si was the initiator of this treasure hunt, and only He Bu Si knew the location of the entrance to the treasure trove. So at this time, He Bu Si was leading the way, while Chen Tian and Li Qianyun followed slowly, one on the left and one on the right.

After flying for a while, He Bu Si led the two to an extremely remote place, far away from the exit, a truly desolate place.

At the same time, the rubble around everyone gradually increased, as if a devastating battle had once broken out here.

Chen Tian slowly looked around, then frowned slightly, sped up, came to He Bu Si, and asked, "Brother He, as the saying goes, even close brothers settle accounts clearly. If we gain anything from this trip, how should we distribute it?"

"Well..."

Hearing Chen Tian's question, He Bu Si smiled, turned to look at Li Qianyun beside him, and said, "Everyone here is an acquaintance, so let's not be so formal. I'll make the decision. As long as we gain anything, we'll all share it equally among the three of us. How about that?"

"Okay, I have no objection." Hearing He Bu Si's distribution method, Chen Tian seemed satisfied and immediately nodded.

He Bu Si smiled, then looked at Li Qianyun again and asked, "Niece Qianyun, what do you think?"

"I'll leave everything to Senior He's discretion."

The humiliation just now obviously had a great impact on Li Qianyun. She looked listless at this time, gave a perfunctory reply, and then lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking.

And He Bu Si was overjoyed when he saw her like this.

You see, before Chen Tian came, Li Qianyun had proposed to monopolize the jade bed.

But at this time, she didn't resist at all and immediately agreed with the three-way split plan proposed by He Bu Si.

This shows that the blow just now had taken effect, and Li Qianyun's Dao heart had shaken slightly. Everything was proceeding according to He Bu Si's planned route.

Thinking of this, He Bu Si became even more proud.

At the same time, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes as he looked at Li Qianyun.

Although Li Qianyun was known as the number one talent in the world, with unlimited potential, and everything seemed so perfect, there was one thing that could be said to be a flaw.

Li Qianyun had cultivated to the Ning Hai realm in just two hundred years, which was undoubtedly a miracle, but in contrast, because her cultivation had improved too quickly, she lacked experience.

And this was Li Qianyun's biggest weakness!

He Bu Si and Chen Tian had both come from the brink of life and death, and had seen too many storms along the way, which had tempered their minds and made their will extremely firm.

However, because Li Qianyun lacked experience, her mind was insufficient and she was easily influenced by the surrounding environment, thus losing her way.

Therefore, compared with Chen Tian and He Bu Si, Li Qianyun was still too inexperienced.

"Hmph, you two little devils, let's see what tricks you can play."

Looking at Chen Tian and Li Qianyun beside him, He Bu Si became more and more proud, as if everything was under his control!
