Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Seeing this scene, the originally excited crowd was immediately stunned. One of the middle-aged men asked in confusion, "Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?"

Chen Tian gave a helpless wry smile, cupping his hands and saying, "I appreciate everyone's kindness, but I will not join any of your factions. So, everyone should stop wasting their efforts and leave early."

Hearing Chen Tian's words, those people seemed unwilling to give up. They chattered outside the light wall, as if still trying to impress Chen Tian with various benefits.

Seeing this, the look of annoyance on Chen Tian's face became even stronger. Immediately afterwards, he ignored the crowd and turned to He Busi, saying, "Alright, Brother He, since the matters here have been resolved, let's go."

Taking a glance at the crowd blocked outside the wall, He Busi suddenly felt a sense of pride. After all, Chen Tian treated him favorably, which meant that in Chen Tian's heart, his position was unique.

And this point alone was enough to make He Busi feel proud and arrogant.

"Okay, Brother Yang, I'll listen to you in everything." After scanning the crowd with a rather smug look, He Busi revealed a humble expression and nodded in response to Chen Tian.

Chen Tian smiled upon seeing this and didn't say anything more. Instead, with a wave of his hand, a magical artifact in the shape of a small boat appeared in front of the two of them. It was the Netherworld Boat!

Chen Tian moved lightly and first flew to the stern of the boat, then said to He Busi, "Brother He, come up!"

Hearing Chen Tian's summons, He Busi naturally didn't dare to be negligent. After hurriedly responding, he gracefully flew to the bow of the boat.

Seeing that He Busi had steadied himself, Chen Tian no longer hesitated. He quickly injected a stream of demonic power into the boat, and immediately the Netherworld Boat shone brightly, speeding towards the Immortal Gate.

The Netherworld Boat was extremely fast. In just a few breaths, it left the chattering crowd far behind. Instantly, the whole world became quiet.

"Huff!"

Feeling this rare tranquility, Chen Tian couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. For the first time, he realized that being surrounded and praised by others was actually a rather painful thing.

After relaxing for a moment, Chen Tian finally calmed down completely. At this moment, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly turned his head and said to He Busi, "By the way, Brother He, aren't you curious about what Chen Jin said to me just now?"

Usually, He Busi loved to ask Chen Tian all sorts of questions, but now, for some reason, he was so quiet that he hadn't said a single word to Chen Tian, which made Chen Tian feel a little unaccustomed.

"Didn't Brother Yang say before that what I should be told, you will naturally say without me asking; and what I shouldn't be told, even if I ask, you won't reveal a word. And from just now until now, a long time has passed, but Brother Yang hasn't mentioned a word to me, which means that this is also something that shouldn't be told to me, so even if I ask now, it will be in vain! If that's the case, why should I bother myself?"

Seeing Chen Tian asking him, He Busi smiled lightly, his face full of honesty.

Chen Tian was a little surprised to see this. He didn't expect He Busi to be so sensible and understand his words so quickly. This saved him a lot of effort.

That's right, just as He Busi guessed, what Chen Jin said to Chen Tian was indeed a secret that couldn't be told to him.

In fact, even when Chen Tian first heard about this from Chen Jin, he was taken aback. He didn't expect that such a magical treasure would exist on the Qian Yuan Continent.

Of course, as Chen Tian said before, although the treasure was precious, it was too difficult to obtain it. Chen Tian's current strength was far from enough.

"It seems that after returning, I must retreat and cultivate well, and strive to raise my cultivation by one realm first." Clenching his fist, Chen Tian muttered to himself.

During this adventure, Chen Tian truly felt how much of a limitation insufficient strength was!

Although Chen Tian possessed the incarnations of the Immortal, Demon, and Monster races, Chen Tian's main body only had the cultivation of the early stage of the凝海境 (Ning Hai Realm).

And the weakness of the main body made it impossible for the power of the three race incarnations to be fully exerted. Chen Tian might still be able to fight against ordinary cultivators, but if he encountered powerhouses like Lü Jing, Nie Tianzun, or Kong Lingzi, the weakness of insufficient cultivation would be fully revealed.

Therefore, Chen Tian knew that if he wanted to reach a higher level, the most urgent task was to increase the cultivation of his main body.

Fortunately, Chen Tian had gained a lot from this adventure. As long as he calmed down and retreated to cultivate after returning, he would definitely be able to improve his cultivation in a very short period of time.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian swept away the previous gloom, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The Netherworld Boat turned into a streak of lightning, traveling quickly in the dark void. Before long, it arrived near the Immortal Gate.

Only then did Chen Tian put away the Netherworld Boat and landed with He Busi.

After taking a look at the extremely tall Immortal Gate, He Busi seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said worriedly, "To pass through this Immortal Gate, you must use the jade key distributed by the Frozen Demon Realm, otherwise, you will be crushed by the immense pressure released by the Immortal Gate! But Brother Yang, your jade key was snatched away by that Nan Xian Daoist, so what should we do?"

It turned out that He Busi thought that in order to guard against Chen Tian after passing through the Immortal Gate earlier, the Nan Xian Daoist had forcibly snatched Chen Tian's jade pendant to threaten him. Therefore, He Busi naturally assumed that Chen Tian's jade pendant was still with the Nan Xian Daoist, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious for him.

After saying that, Chen Tian ignored He Busi and flew towards the Immortal Gate with the jade pendant in his hand.

"Hmm? Let me guess?" He Busi looked at Chen Tian's strange appearance, but couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

And after thinking for a while, suddenly, as if He Busi had thought of something, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and his whole body trembled because of extreme fear!
