Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Chen Tian knew that although Li Qianyun didn't say anything, she must have felt extremely disappointed in her heart.

After all, she had believed that she was evenly matched with Chen Tian, that they were at the same level, and that she even had the Fire Spirit Body, making her slightly superior to Chen Tian in terms of talent.

However, after this battle, Li Qianyun immediately changed all of those ideas.

This also caused the last bit of pride in her heart to vanish.

Li Qianyun suddenly felt that she might never be able to win against Chen Tian in this lifetime.

She used to feel that it was only natural for people to praise her as a 'Heaven's Proud Daughter,' but now, after recalling this title, Li Qianyun only felt a burning shame on her face; it was completely a mockery of her!

After a soft sigh, Li Qianyun drooped her head, her expression incomparably desolate.

Chen Tian had been watching Li Qianyun's expression the entire time, and seeing her so disheartened, he sneered inwardly.

Because all of this was within Chen Tian's carefully calculated plan.

Originally, Chen Tian could have acted sooner, but he didn't; instead, he waited until Li Qianyun was exhausted and at her most desperate before striking and repelling the white whale.

This not only elevated his position in He Busi's heart but also severely struck at Li Qianyun's arrogance.

And this was Chen Tian's third blow to Li Qianyun's self-esteem!

Chen Tian believed that from now on, he had become a nightmare in this woman's heart, making it impossible for her to escape her fear of Chen Tian for the rest of her life.

This was the strategy that Chen Tian had planned from the very beginning.

In reality, based on strength alone, neither Chen Tian nor Li Qianyun was a match for that white whale.

After all, this white whale had lived for countless years, and its strength far surpassed all the demon beasts on the Qianyuan Continent.

However, even so, Chen Tian was not afraid of it, because there was something that could ensure Chen Tian could easily repel it: his own immortal energy.

Although this white whale was powerful, it had been raised as livestock by the Immortal Clan in the past, and deep in its soul, it had a natural fear of the Immortal Clan.

Therefore, when attacking the white whale just now, Chen Tian secretly mixed a trace of immortal energy into the sword light and unleashed it together.

Upon sensing the immortal energy hidden in the sword light, the white whale fled without a fight out of fear of the Immortal Clan.

Otherwise, even ten Chen Tians might not be able to defeat this white whale.

Of course, Chen Tian would definitely not reveal all of this; instead, he would put on a profound expression, leading He Busi and the others to mistakenly believe that Chen Tian possessed some kind of powerful magic weapon that could overcome enemies, thereby making them wary of him.

"Brother Yang, if you don't mind, would you like to travel with us again?"

At this time, He Busi unconsciously had more respect for Chen Tian, and his tone of voice was much gentler.

However, Chen Tian didn't rush to answer after hearing this; instead, he turned to Li Qianyun and said indifferently, "I have no objections, but I'm not sure if Fellow Daoist Li agrees."

"This…" He Busi looked embarrassed and also looked at Li Qianyun.

"Hmph, come if you want, I have nothing to say."

Noticing the gazes cast by both of them, Li Qianyun snorted, then withdrew her chrysanthemum phantom and turned to enter the cabin.

"Brother Yang, my niece Qianyun was slightly injured just now, so her tone was a bit harsh; please don't take it to heart."

Seeing Li Qianyun's arrogant and rude appearance, He Busi smiled wryly and apologized to Chen Tian on her behalf.

"Brother Yang is too considerate; I naturally won't argue with Fellow Daoist Li."

Chen Tian's expression was calm, but there was a hint of faint sarcasm in his tone.

Li Qianyun, who was inside the cabin, was so angry that she almost spat out another mouthful of blood after hearing these words.

He Busi's face also showed embarrassment, and he smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, let's not talk about this. Brother Yang, from your appearance, you seem to know quite a bit about that white whale; do you know if it will come back?"

Indeed, compared to these things, He Busi was more concerned about what would happen next; he didn't want to run into that terrifying white whale again.

Chen Tian certainly knew what he was worried about and smiled, saying, "Brother He, please rest assured, with me here, that white whale will definitely not dare to cause trouble again; just proceed according to the original plan."

"Good, then just like before, Brother Yang will watch from the bow, and I will steer from the stern; let's set off now."

Hearing Chen Tian's words, He Busi seemed to have taken a reassuring pill; after laughing loudly, he returned to the stern and hurriedly injected a stream of spiritual light into the disc, controlling the Underworld Luo Boat to fly forward at full speed.

However, due to the previous collision, the Underworld Luo Boat was severely damaged and no longer had the same speed as before, but it was still much faster than the flying speed of ordinary late-stage Core Formation cultivators.

Chen Tian turned his head and glanced indifferently at Li Qianyun, who was hiding in the cabin and not saying a word, then with a flick of his figure, he came to the bow and guarded his surroundings.

Sure enough, as Chen Tian had expected, because of its fear of Chen Tian, that white whale never appeared again.

However, although there was no white whale, various other strange creatures emerged endlessly along the way, but like the white whale, most of these creatures were livestock that had been raised by the Immortal Clan, so upon seeing Chen Tian, they scattered and fled, not daring to take a step forward.

With Chen Tian guarding them, the three were able to travel quickly towards their destination.

After flying like this for more than half a month, one day, the Underworld Luo Boat that Chen Tian and the others were on suddenly swayed up and down strangely; immediately afterward, the Underworld Luo Boat lost all its light and floated dimly in the endless void.

"Brother Yang, I'm truly sorry, due to the previous collision, the Underworld Luo Boat was severely damaged and can no longer fly forward; it seems we can only get off the boat and walk forward. Fortunately, this place is not far from the treasure location we are looking for; we should arrive soon."

At this time, He Busi's slightly apologetic voice slowly came over.

It turned out that the severely damaged Underworld Luo Boat had completely stopped working!

Next, He Busi put away the Underworld Luo Boat and flew forward on foot with Chen Tian and Li Qianyun.

After flying for about seven more days, a vast expanse of huge fragments suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

This was the treasure location that everyone had been searching for.
