Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Contained within these jade bottles were the remaining immortal-grade spirit pills. Over the past twenty years, Chen Tian had spent over a dozen immortal pills and countless top-grade immortal crystal stones on Qin Yi, raising her cultivation from the early stage of the Transformation Spring Realm all the way to the late stage. Yet, even so, he had failed to prolong her life.

At this point, the spiritual energy within Qin Yi's body was already too full. If she absorbed any more, it might endanger her life, leaving Chen Tian with no choice but to stop.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian sighed softly. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, the stoppers of the five jade bottles opened simultaneously. Five round pills, shimmering with dazzling light, appeared before Chen Tian.

After glancing at these spirit pills, brimming with spiritual energy, Chen Tian didn't hesitate. With a large gulp, he swallowed them all at once.

If anyone were to witness Chen Tian's actions, they would be astonished, thinking he had gone mad.

One must know that the spiritual energy contained within a single immortal-grade spirit pill is extremely vast. Even a Nascent Sea Realm cultivator would need a long time to fully refine it.

Yet, Chen Tian had swallowed five immortal-grade spirit pills at once. If it were anyone else, they would surely be unable to withstand it and explode from within.

However, Chen Tian's expression remained calm and composed. After swallowing the five immortal pills, he waved his right hand, and orbs of light, shimmering with five colors, flew out from his storage ring.

These orbs of light were the Heavenly Dao Intent fragments that Chen Tian had captured from the Ruins of the Demon Realm.

With a large gulp, Chen Tian immediately swallowed these dozens of Heavenly Dao Intent fragments as well.

At that moment, a strange scene unfolded. As soon as the Heavenly Dao Intent fragments entered Chen Tian's body, they instantly transformed into rapidly spinning vortexes, generating a massive suction force, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy released from the five immortal-grade spirit pills.

As they devoured the energy, the size of the three avatars gradually increased, and Chen Tian's cultivation began to soar.

In just three days, Chen Tian's cultivation crossed the early stage of the Nascent Sea Realm, reaching the middle stage.

This process went very smoothly, without encountering any bottlenecks, as if it were a natural progression.

The reason for all of this was due to the dozens of Heavenly Dao Intent fragments that Chen Tian had obtained from the Ascension Platform.

Ordinary cultivators, if they wanted to break through their cultivation bottlenecks and improve their cultivation, would need to spend decades, or even centuries, to comprehend the cycle of cause and effect and the myriad Daos of the world! But for Chen Tian, as long as he swallowed these Heavenly Dao Intent fragments, any bottleneck, no matter what it was, would naturally be broken through.

It was precisely because of this that everyone in the Ruins of the Demon Realm fought so fiercely for these Heavenly Dao Intent fragments.

However, among these people, even the most powerful had only managed to snatch a dozen or so fragments, but Chen Tian, cleverly using his Immortal Clan Avatar, had captured nearly two hundred at once.

Therefore, Chen Tian didn't need to be frugal at all. Like eating candy beans, he carelessly took out dozens of Heavenly Dao Intent fragments and swallowed them at the same time.

With the help of these dozens of Heavenly Dao Intent fragments, the bottleneck that had long prevented Chen Tian from breaking through to the middle stage of the Nascent Sea Realm was instantly shattered, allowing Chen Tian's dantian to double in size, which was enough to accommodate all the spiritual energy released by the five immortal-grade spirit pills.

In just two short days, Chen Tian's cultivation broke through from the early stage of the Nascent Sea Realm to the middle stage. If this feat were to be spread, the sensation it would cause would be no less than the shock that Chen Tian brought to the cultivation world twenty years ago.

After absorbing for a while longer, completely consolidating his realm, Chen Tian slowly opened his eyes, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

After spending these dozens of Heavenly Dao Intent fragments, Chen Tian still had over a hundred left, and this amount was enough to allow him to cultivate smoothly to the late stage of the Nascent Sea Realm.

It could be said that if Chen Tian was given another ten years, he could continue to cultivate to the late stage of the Nascent Sea Realm.

However, what Chen Tian lacked most at this time was precisely time.

Therefore, he could only temporarily stop and wait until he had rescued Qin Yi before finding an opportunity to cultivate slowly.

After making this decision, Chen Tian's expression became solemn, and with a wave of his sleeve, four longbows instantly appeared before him.

These longbows were of different sizes. The largest one was dozens of feet long, while the smallest one was only a little over ten feet long.

At the same time, these longbows were engraved with extremely intricate and beautiful patterns. Most of them were in the shapes of birds and beasts, and occasionally there were some strange patterns, all of which Chen Tian had never heard of before, as if they were not creatures from the Qian Yuan Continent at all.

Although they had been through a long time, these longbows were still as bright as new, and even more so, an extremely sharp aura burst out, causing the entire bamboo house to hum and tremble.

Seeing this, Chen Tian groaned softly, then flicked his sleeve and put the other three longbows back into the storage ring, leaving only the smallest one.

It turned out that these four longbows were ancient treasures that Chen Tian had obtained in the Ruins of the Demon Realm, possessing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. Even though Chen Tian had now broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Sea Realm, he was still unable to control the other three longbows. Only this smallest longbow could he barely try to use.

Thinking of this, a flash of light appeared in Chen Tian's eyes, and he shot out a stream of spiritual power, pouring it into the longbow.

At this moment, the longbow suddenly floated up from Chen Tian's hand, and after a burst of illusion, it actually turned into the shape of a giant tortoise.

It's just that the appearance of this tortoise was quite strange. Its whole body was covered with blue scales, and it had a snake's tail behind it, which was completely different from the tortoises Chen Tian usually saw.

When he was in the Ruins of the Demon Realm, Chen Tian had already learned that these four longbows each contained a weapon spirit, namely the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

And the weapon spirit sealed within this smallest longbow was the ancient beast Black Tortoise, which had already become extinct since ancient times.

It's just that this longbow was a failed product, so its power could not be fully exerted, but even so, its power was already far beyond that of other ancient immortal treasures.

Therefore, looking at the huge Black Tortoise weapon spirit that occupied half of the room, Chen Tian's eyes could not help but become exceptionally excited.
