Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Four hundred miles east of the Coral Sea, a flock of pure white seagulls soared through the air, their forms like spirits, freely and unrestrainedly traversing the azure sky.

Below them stretched the shimmering ocean, above them the blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds, and a gentle sea breeze brought a sense of ease and comfort.

This flock of seagulls had been flying from west to east for more than five hours. Suddenly, on the lead seagull, a golden bead, as small as a grain of rice, began to gleam.

As soon as this bead appeared, it rapidly expanded, and before long, it transformed into a human figure, none other than Chen Tian!

"Haha, thank you, my friends! As a reward, I'll give you a ride!"

As soon as Chen Tian's figure fully materialized, he suddenly laughed heartily at the seagulls. Immediately afterward, he flicked his sleeves, and a gust of wind burst forth, enveloping the flock of seagulls and propelling them forward like shooting stars, instantly transporting them three hundred miles away!

Only then did the smile on Chen Tian's face vanish, and he turned around, revealing a hint of icy coldness.

It turned out that during his conversation with Kong Lingzi, Chen Tian had already sensed the intense killing intent unintentionally emanating from him. Therefore, after they parted, to prevent Kong Lingzi from catching up, Chen Tian constantly changed direction, even hiding among schools of fish underwater and flocks of seagulls in the sky, using them to conceal his tracks.

After fleeing for thousands of miles, only when he could no longer sense Kong Lingzi's aura did Chen Tian feel at ease. However, a trace of icy coldness still faintly flickered between his brows.

Although Chen Tian had appeared very calm during his conversation with Kong Lingzi, advancing and retreating with composure, only Chen Tian himself knew how much pressure and fear he had endured!

One should know that Chen Tian's master, the Mad Old Man, had already reached the Zhutian Realm, yet Kong Lingzi was still able to calculate his whereabouts. This indicated that Kong Lingzi's strength had probably already broken through the Zhutian Realm as well.

The Zhutian Realm and the Ninghai Realm might seem to be only one realm apart, but the difference in strength between the two was like heaven and earth. On the Qianyuan Continent, Zhutian Realm cultivators were like kings, and no one could shake their authority. Even if Chen Tian possessed the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, he was not confident that he could escape from Kong Lingzi's grasp.

Thinking this, Chen Tian's brows furrowed even more tightly. This was the second time Chen Tian had seen Kong Lingzi, and both times he had only seen a wisp of his incarnation. As for his true form, it had not yet appeared before Chen Tian. But even the descent of an incarnation brought Chen Tian soul-stirring fear.

This fear far surpassed that of most people Chen Tian had encountered before, and was only comparable to that felt from Ji Ao and Jin Chi.

However, Ji Ao was a demon god from the Upper Realm, and Jin Chi was the only remaining descendant of the Immortal Clan. They possessed powers far beyond ordinary people. But Kong Lingzi, as a human, actually had the strength to compete with them, which was an extremely terrifying thing.

Moreover, during his conversation with Chen Tian, Kong Lingzi had exuded a strong killing intent several times. If it had been anyone else, they would have been scared out of their wits long ago. Only Chen Tian, with his firm will, managed to remain composed.

"What exactly does this person want? He wants to kill me, yet he also wants to recruit me. Could it be that there's something on me that he has taken a fancy to?"

Thinking of this, Chen Tian suddenly flipped his right hand, and a blue wooden arrow appeared in his hand.

This arrow was given to Chen Tian by Kong Lingzi when he left, who claimed that one day, the two of them would meet again.

Although Chen Tian couldn't figure out what Kong Lingzi was trying to do, he could vaguely sense that this person had no good intentions. Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Tian decided to stay as far away from Kong Lingzi as possible.

Having made up his mind, Chen Tian no longer hesitated. He silently recited a spell and applied hundreds of layers of sealing restrictions to the arrow.

Chen Tian went to such great lengths because he was afraid that Kong Lingzi had tampered with the arrow. For safety's sake, he needed to take some precautions.

The hundreds of layers of sealing restrictions were like hundreds of silk threads, wrapping around the arrow layer by layer, until finally, it was wrapped into the shape of a silkworm cocoon.

Only then did Chen Tian stop, revealing a satisfied smile.

Immediately afterward, Chen Tian picked up the arrow with his right hand, preparing to put it back into his storage ring. But just then, Chen Tian seemed to suddenly think of something, his movements paused, and a deep look of hesitation appeared on his face.

After meditating for a moment, Chen Tian seemed to have an idea. He casually threw the cocoon-shaped arrow into the turbulent sea.

After all, Chen Tian had decided to avoid contact with Kong Lingzi as much as possible in the future, so there was no use in keeping this arrow. It was better to throw it away.

"Hmph, no matter what you're planning, trying to trap me? Dream on!" Watching the arrow sink, Chen Tian's eyes were gloomy, and he snorted coldly.

Immediately afterward, Chen Tian no longer lingered, his figure transforming into a long rainbow, flying back to the Immortal Demon Gate at full speed, because what he was most concerned about at this time was Qin Yi.

However, what Chen Tian didn't see was that, just after he left, the arrow that had fallen into the seabed suddenly emitted a strange circle of blue light!

… … … … … … … … … …

The Coral Sea is located on the eastern side of the Qianyuan Continent. Although it is not far from the Immortal Demon Gate, the straight-line distance is more than three million miles, and it would take ordinary cultivators almost ten days and ten nights to reach it.

However, when they sensed the cultivation level on Chen Tian's body, without exception, everyone was scared half to death, like groundhogs, and fled downwards frantically.

Some cultivators who were too frightened to escape in time were blown east and west by the violent wind caused by Chen Tian's full-speed passage, and they couldn't even stand still.

And the cultivators who were lucky enough to escape were also filled with fear, looking at Chen Tian's receding figure, revealing a strong sense of horror!

In this way, the journey that originally took ten days and ten nights was forcibly shortened to three days and three nights by Chen Tian.

And when Chen Tian saw the towering main peak of the Immortal Demon Gate from afar, the slightly tired expression on his face due to days of rushing was instantly swept away, revealing a gratified smile.

Just as Chen Tian was planning to rush over in one go, suddenly, he seemed to sense something, his body stopped abruptly, he frowned, and looked down at the mountains and forests below with a suspicious gaze!
