Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"Master, actually, if you had used your full strength just now, you could have killed that Lü Lin with one move. But why did you only use five-tenths of your strength all the time?" Han Wuming had finished dealing with Qian Wangguan and returned to Chen Tian's side, asking in confusion.

"It's nothing." Chen Tian casually tossed the dice cup onto the gambling table and said indifferently, "Ever since I obtained that long sword and longbow, I haven't had a chance to test their power. Just now was a good opportunity, and I thought about using Lü Lin to test them out. If I had used my full strength to kill him from the beginning, wouldn't it have been meaningless? That's why I only used five-tenths of my strength."

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Han Wuming's eyes narrowed. He increasingly felt that Chen Tian was not an ordinary teenager. His shrewdness was too deep.

Han Wuming increasingly felt that Chen Tian could not be allowed to live. He had to eliminate him as soon as possible!

Of course, Han Wuming wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal his true thoughts. At this moment, he said a few flattering words to Chen Tian, then stood respectfully to the side, silent.

At this time, Chen Tian also turned his gaze back, thoughtfully looking at the other people in the courtyard.

They were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to look at Chen Tian, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

After all, Lü Lin and Qian Wangguan's fates were still vivid in their minds. They wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke Chen Tian again. Besides, they had already determined that Chen Tian was a living immortal, so they were desperate, thinking, how could mortals fight against immortals? It's better to stay put obediently.

Chen Tian naturally understood their thoughts. He smiled slightly and said calmly, "You may all rise."

Chen Tian meant well, wanting them to stand up.

However, after hearing this, not a single person stood up. Instead, they all kowtowed to Chen Tian, saying as they kowtowed, "Immortal Lord, we were wrong before. We shouldn't have helped that beast Qian Wangguan occupy your house. Please forgive us… forgive us…"

Hearing this, Chen Tian shook his head helplessly, knowing that these people were afraid. After all, they were the ones who drove Chen Tian out of Lufeng Town before.

Honestly, Chen Tian was still extremely angry about all of this, but it wasn't enough to kill them all.

After all, Chen Tian cultivated immortality. If he killed people indiscriminately, wouldn't he be in the same league as demons?

Thinking of this, Chen Tian's expression turned stern, and he said to them in a deep voice, "Alright, you may all rise. I guarantee, I won't kill you!"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the crowd was stunned for a moment. After recovering, they were overjoyed. After kowtowing to Chen Tian for a while, they all ran away as if fleeing for their lives.

After everyone had left, Chen Tian frowned slightly, then with a wave of his sleeve, a strong wind closed the gate of the Taoist temple.

Chen Tian re-examined the Taoist temple. Because it had been neglected for years, the original vermilion paint on the walls was mottled and incomplete. The statues of the gods enshrined inside were also covered in dust.

This was clearly an extremely dilapidated Taoist temple.

But Chen Tian looked at every plant, every tree, every brick, and every tile here, and his heart was filled with emotion, after all, this was where he had lived since childhood.

After looking around for a while, Chen Tian walked towards the main hall of the Taoist temple and found a spirit tablet on the wall beam that was about to fall.

Seeing this, Chen Tian casually emitted a ray of spiritual light, wrapping the spirit tablet and slowly lowering it.

Chen Tian reached out and took the spirit tablet, finding that it was covered in dust.

Chen Tian gently blew a breath, and suddenly the dust on the spirit tablet swirled and disappeared, revealing the words on it.

It was the spirit tablet of the old Taoist priest who had adopted Chen Tian and raised him.

Chen Tian gently stroked the spirit tablet, murmuring softly, "Grandpa, I brought Xiaolong back with me."

In that instant, countless memories flooded Chen Tian's mind, all of which were scenes of the old Taoist playing with him and Xiaolong when they were young.

How happy and blessed Chen Tian was at that time!

But times had changed, and now only Chen Tian was left.

In fact, Chen Tian could easily complete these tasks by activating his magic now, but he didn't do so. Instead, he used the most primitive method to carefully clean the entire Taoist temple.

After a busy period, the originally messy Taoist temple became clean again, but Chen Tian didn't stop. Instead, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and then walked towards the corner of the courtyard wall.

Chen Tian carried the ice coffin containing Xiaolong's body and then moved it into the main hall.

After doing all this, Chen Tian clapped his hands and gently called out, "Han Wuming, come out."

Hearing Chen Tian's summons, a dark spiritual light suddenly floated out of his body and landed on the ground, revealing Han Wuming's figure.

"Master, are we starting?" As soon as he appeared, Han Wuming respectfully asked Chen Tian.

Chen Tian nodded after hearing this and said, "Yes, there's no time to delay. I want to resolve the matters here as soon as possible so I can find a place to cultivate in peace."

"Hehe, I understand."

Han Wuming chuckled strangely, then stood with Chen Tian outside the main hall, his hands constantly changing into complex and profound magic seals, which finally turned into restrictions and struck towards the hall.

At this time, Chen Tian also divided half of the immortal power he had left in his body and merged it into Han Wuming's restrictions.

Suddenly, the color of the restrictions changed from dark black to golden, covering and protecting the entire Taoist temple. At the same time, an incomparably majestic force burst forth.

It turned out that Chen Tian and Han Wuming were jointly casting a protective restriction to protect the ice coffin containing Xiaolong's body.

After all, Chen Tian couldn't carry Xiaolong around everywhere, so he wanted to return to Lufeng Town and place him in the Taoist temple.

In order to prevent anyone from breaking in, he ordered Han Wuming to use his late-stage Huarquan Mirror cultivation to set up a set of protective restrictions, while also incorporating some immortal power himself.

In this way, no cultivator below the Ninghai realm could enter. And how many Ninghai realm old monsters are there in the world? So it can almost be said that the Taoist temple at this time is very safe.

After setting up the restrictions in the main hall, Chen Tian and Han Wuming came to the outside of the Taoist temple again and set up an illusion array.

The power of this illusion array is not great. The main purpose is to prevent mortals from entering.

Han Wuming once again shot out a ray of spiritual light, which shot towards the Taoist temple.

Suddenly, the spiritual light transformed into a hemispherical giant light罩, covering the entire Taoist temple.

After doing all of this, Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally relieved.

At this time, Han Wuming stepped forward and respectfully asked Chen Tian, "Master, where should we go next?"

After hearing this, Chen Tian smiled strangely and said, "Ghost Dao Sect!"
