Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Ji Ao understood Duanmu Ya's thoughts best, so when he saw the cruel smile on Duanmu Ya's face, he immediately guessed what he was thinking. However, Ji Ao didn't say anything and also sneered.

Just then, Duanmu Ya seemed to have thought of something again. He suddenly stopped laughing, frowned, and asked Ji Ao, "By the way, Lord Demon God, is there any way to repair the Star Compass?"

"You don't need to worry about this. I just did a rough check, and the condition of the Star Compass is much better than I expected. There is still hope for repair. It's just that it requires several extremely rare materials, which is a bit tricky!" As he said this, Ji Ao's lips curled slightly, and he looked at Duanmu Ya with a playful gaze.

Sure enough, when he heard Ji Ao say the word 'tricky,' the composure and calmness on Duanmu Ya's face instantly disappeared, replaced by deep panic. He hurriedly asked, "Is it really that difficult?"

"Haha, forget it, I won't tease you anymore. Let me put it this way, although those materials are only available in my hometown, I have also found some substitutes here. The effect is a little worse, but they can be used." After enjoying Duanmu Ya's panicked look for a while, Ji Ao said with a smile.

"What? Is this true? Lord Demon God, are you not lying to me?" Duanmu Ya, who had been somewhat desperate, instantly became excited again after hearing this, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

"Hmm? What, are you questioning this god?" However, after hearing this, Ji Ao glanced at Duanmu Ya with a strange expression!

Upon seeing this, Duanmu Ya seemed to have thought of something in his mind, and he was so frightened that his soul flew away. He hurriedly apologized, "This old servant knows his mistake. This old servant will never dare to question Lord Demon God again. I hope Lord Demon God will have mercy!"

Looking at Duanmu Ya's timid appearance, Ji Ao's originally tense face instantly relaxed, and he smiled and said, "Haha, look at you, why are you so nervous? Would I punish you for these trivial matters? Don't worry, after I repair the Star Compass, I will definitely take you to ascend to the Demon Realm together."

After saying that, Ji Ao ignored Duanmu Ya and turned around to mingle with those incomparably charming demon beauties!

"Thank you, Lord Demon God! Thank you, Lord Demon God!" After hearing this, Duanmu Ya appeared extremely excited and thanked him repeatedly.

However, although he was outwardly respectful, his heart was filled with gloom and coldness.

To be honest, although he had been with Ji Ao for hundreds of years, he had never been able to figure out Ji Ao's temperament. He only felt that this person was angry one moment and happy the next, with no rules at all.

But even so, Duanmu Ya didn't dare to have any dissenting thoughts, because he knew that although Ji Ao looked strange, this person's methods were extremely sinister and ruthless. Anyone who dared to disobey would surely suffer a tragic end!

And after seeing the fate of the Wood Puppet Elder today, Duanmu Ya was even more convinced in his heart that no matter who he offended, he must not offend this Ji Ao, otherwise, today's Wood Puppet Elder would become tomorrow's him!

Duanmu Ya wasn't stupid, and he wouldn't joke with his life. So, although he had many dissatisfactions in his heart, he could only hold them back.

Of course, the reason why Duanmu Ya was so tolerant and accommodating was also for another purpose, which was the purpose of their visit here!

Although they had repeatedly stated to Chen Tian that their greatest intention here was to retrieve the Black Bear clone, that was only a small part of it. Their real intention was actually for this Star Compass.

You must know that although Duanmu Ya was a demon, he was also bound by the laws of Heaven. The spiritual energy on the Qian Yuan Continent was so thin that it could no longer support his continued cultivation. Therefore, like most experts in the Zhutian Realm, he was also searching everywhere for a way to leave this place.

As the saying goes, there is no coincidence without a book. When Ji Ao learned of Duanmu Ya's thoughts, he immediately recalled the ancient ruins here, as well as the incomplete Star Compass placed within. That's why he brought Duanmu Ya here!

However, what neither of them had expected was that just as they arrived here, they would run into Chen Tian!

Fortunately, because of Chen Tian, Ji Ao's clone was spared from harm and preserved. Ji Ao really had to thank Chen Tian for this!

The rest goes without saying. After solving the Wood Puppet Elder, the two immediately discovered that the Star Compass placed on the stone platform had disappeared!

Upon seeing this scene, after only a brief moment of surprise in his heart, Ji Ao immediately locked his gaze on Chen Tian.

Because he knew that among all the people in the world, only Chen Tian could see that this Star Compass was extraordinary!

As expected, under Ji Ao's coercion, Chen Tian finally confessed that he had taken the Star Compass and handed it over very readily.

However, Chen Tian's move immediately shocked Ji Ao and Duanmu Ya.

Because based on their understanding of Chen Tian, they knew that this person had an extremely arrogant personality and would never compromise because of other people's threats. However, at this time, he readily handed over the Star Compass, which greatly exceeded their expectations.

But no matter what, being able to resolve this matter peacefully also allowed Ji Ao and Duanmu Ya to breathe a sigh of relief.

Especially Duanmu Ya, because Ji Ao had promised him that once the Star Compass was repaired, he would take him to the Demon Realm.

Unlike the Qian Yuan Continent, the Demon Realm was filled with spiritual energy, enough to support Duanmu Ya's continued cultivation, and even break through the Zhutian Realm to reach a higher realm. It was not impossible.

And when he thought of these things, Duanmu Ya's heart couldn't help but flash with bursts of ecstasy! It was as if he couldn't wait to ascend.

Of course, Duanmu Ya also knew that this was not the time to be anxious. Everything had to wait until Ji Ao had completely repaired the Star Compass before it could be realized!

Therefore, he secretly made up his mind that during this period, he must not anger Ji Ao, after all, he was now pinning all of his hopes on Ji Ao!

Thinking like this, Duanmu Ya stopped speaking and accompanied Ji Ao's huge palanquin, flying quickly towards the exit!

After resting for a while, he suddenly showed a smile again and looked forward.

Only to see that in front of him, the jade bottle containing the Heavenly Dao Spring water was quietly suspended in mid-air, emitting a soft, milky white light.

Chen Tian had suffered countless hardships along the way, and the driving force that supported him to continue moving forward was this Heavenly Dao Spring!

Therefore, when he saw this jade bottle, a strong look of excitement suddenly appeared on Chen Tian's face.

"Ugh ugh… ugh ugh…"

However, just then, a strange sound suddenly came from the distant sky and drilled into his ears!
