Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Fan Da looked around again to make sure no one was there, then quietly said, "Junior Brother Chen, you don't know this, but this cave is the sacred ground of our Ghost Dao Sect. It's said that there's something incredible placed inside, personally sealed by the founding ancestor. Only elders who have reached the Transformation Spring Realm are allowed to enter."

"Hmm?" Chen Tian's heart stirred upon hearing these words.

He suddenly remembered that Han Wuming had mentioned to him that the founding ancestor of the Ghost Dao Sect had once obtained an ancient demon corpse. Could it be that this is what's placed inside?

Thinking of this, Chen Tian's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the cave again.

Chen Tian was contemplating a plan, and this plan was one of the reasons he chose to come to the Ghost Dao Sect.

"Junior Brother Chen, what are you thinking about again?" Seeing Chen Tian staring blankly at the cave, Fan Da couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Chen Tian immediately turned his gaze back, smiled slightly at him, and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. I was just wondering what's inside."

"Hey, don't think about it. Unless we can cultivate to the Transformation Spring Realm, we'll never be able to enter. Alas…" Saying this, Fan Da couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Tian's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he asked, "Senior Brother Fan, what do you mean by that? Don't you have confidence in yourself?"

A bitter look appeared on Fan Da's face, and he shook his head helplessly, saying, "Junior Brother Chen, do you know why I came out today?"

Hearing this, Chen Tian was stunned. That's right, he was still wondering why Fan Da was the only one running around when all the other Ghost Dao Sect disciples were cultivating in their respective caves.

"Kill people?!"

Chen Tian was also surprised for a moment, but then he quickly understood. The Ghost Dao Sect's cultivation methods were originally based on refining the flesh and blood of mortals, so all disciples must go through this stage.

This so-called Spirit Awakening Ceremony, in fact, is just to get the newly initiated disciples used to the feeling of killing people.

After understanding this, Chen Tian pondered for a while, and then asked, "What's wrong, Senior Brother Fan? Are you afraid of killing people?"

"Afraid… Of course, I'm afraid!" Fan Da nodded frantically, saying with a very painful expression, "The thought of having to personally kill those innocent mortals tomorrow fills my heart with fear."

Seeing Fan Da like this, Chen Tian's expression also softened. It was clear that Fan Da was definitely kind-hearted, and the thought of having to kill people tomorrow filled his heart with a sense of guilt.

The reason why he hadn't stayed in his cave to cultivate just now, but had been wandering around below, was probably because he was too worried to calm down and wanted to take a walk.

At this moment, Chen Tian couldn't help but recall some things, such as when he killed Pan Xingyu and Lin Chen.

Honestly, that was also the first time Chen Tian had killed someone, and he killed two at once. However, Chen Tian at that time did not have the anxiety and unease that Fan Da had now.

This wasn't to say that Chen Tian was cold-blooded and ruthless, but because Chen Tian was in a dangerous situation at that time. He knew that if he hadn't killed Pan Xingyu and Lin Chen at that time, then he would have been the one to die.

The world of cultivation was originally extremely dangerous. Today, it's either you die or I perish. The scheming and plotting against each other are even more countless.

Therefore, under the pressure of the situation at that time, Chen Tian had no other choice but to bite the bullet and kill Pan Xingyu and Lin Chen.

It was from that time that Chen Tian finally understood the cruelty and ruthlessness of the world of cultivation!

So, in this way, Chen Tian had actually come into contact with this kind of experience earlier than Fan Da.

Of course, Chen Tian wouldn't tell Fan Da these things, but smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother Fan, there's no need to worry. I think your master will teach you well."

Hearing Chen Tian's consolation, which wasn't really a consolation, Fan Da could only smile bitterly and sigh, "Alas, that's all I can do."

However, hearing Chen Tian mention his master, Fan Da's interest suddenly came back, and he smiled, saying, "By the way, Junior Brother Chen, we seem to be quite fated. How about I introduce you to my master?"

"Introduce me to your master?" Chen Tian found it funny after hearing this, and said, "But I already have a master. Is that okay?"

"Hey, what's wrong with that?" Fan Da said with a nonchalant expression, "Junior Brother Chen, you don't know this yet, but my master has already reached the Spiritual Gathering Realm! There are countless disciples who want to join his sect, but my family has some influence, so if you want to, I'll go back and say something, and I guarantee you'll be able to join too. How about it?"

Hearing Fan Da's enthusiastic words, Chen Tian couldn't help but find it funny. He knew that this guy was probably used to being lonely and wanted to find someone to talk to.

However, Chen Tian still felt that staying with Han Wuming was better, so he politely declined, saying, "Senior Brother Fan, I appreciate your kindness, but I think my master is also good, so I won't trouble you."

Hearing that Chen Tian actually rejected him, Fan Da seemed a little surprised and quickly said, "Junior Brother Chen, you have to think carefully! My master is a master of the mid-stage Spiritual Gathering Realm! How many people in the entire Ghost Dao Sect are more powerful than my master?"

"Heh heh, excuse me, I wonder if I count as being more powerful than your master?"

Just as the two were saying this, a strange laughter suddenly came from behind.

Hearing this, Fan Da hurriedly turned around, but after seeing who it was, he was immediately so frightened that his face turned green. With a "thump," he knelt down and kept kowtowing, saying, "Disciple is ignorant and didn't know that Elder Han had arrived. I have offended you greatly, and I hope you will forgive me."

Han Wuming ignored him after hearing this, but kept walking until he reached Chen Tian's side.

Seeing this, Chen Tian smiled, stepped forward, pulled Fan Da up from the ground, and said, "Senior Brother Fan, I forgot to tell you, this Elder Han is my master."

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Fan Da's eyes widened instantly. His brain seemed to be struck by lightning, and he opened his mouth wide in shock, completely frozen!
