Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

No sooner had Han Wuming's words fallen than a miraculous scene unfolded.

Chen Tian, who had been unconscious with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

Then, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "Han Wuming, when did you realize I was pretending to be unconscious?"

At this moment, Chen Tian's aura was steady and his eyes were sharp; he didn't look weak or injured at all.

Upon hearing this, Han Wuming, who was standing beside him, immediately revealed a flattering smile and said, "Actually, this old servant discovered it the moment I first saw you, Master."

"Oh, is that so?" Chen Tian mused for a moment after hearing this, and then asked, "So, everything that followed was also part of your act?"

"Of course," Han Wuming smiled and continued, "This old servant thought that you must have a purpose for doing this, Master, so I took the liberty of using the excuse that you were injured by Zhan Tianlong to ask that Yougui Qiantu for compensation. I wonder if I guessed correctly?"

After saying this, Han Wuming slightly raised his head to look at Chen Tian.

A smile reappeared on Chen Tian's face, and he laughed loudly, "Han Wuming, you are indeed very clever."

It turned out that all of this was arranged by Chen Tian.

In fact, Chen Tian had not suffered any injuries during the battle with Zhan Tianlong.

The reason he fell from the sky and remained unconscious was all an act.

At the same time, Chen Tian sent a message to Han Wuming through the slave restriction, asking him to come over immediately, which led to everything that happened afterward.

Chen Tian was also surprised that Han Wuming was able to perfectly cooperate with him in this performance.

But more than that, he was delighted, thinking that it was a good thing he hadn't killed him back then, but had kept him for his own use.

Looking at Han Wuming's smiling face, Chen Tian didn't give him a good look, glared at him, and said, "Come on, don't pretend to be ignorant. Don't tell me you don't know that the reason the Three Souls took out a Blood Spirit Pill was to curry favor with you?"

"Hehe, this... Master is indeed perceptive," Han Wuming said with an embarrassed smile, then helplessly said, "Master, actually I find those two annoying too. They're always fighting, either you scheming against me or me scheming against you. There's never a peaceful day."

Han Wuming's words were the absolute truth. Everyone in the entire Ghost Dao Sect knew that the Three Souls Sanren and Yougui Qiantu were constantly fighting each other in the open and in secret.

But this wasn't without its benefits. Didn't Chen Tian get two Blood Spirit Pills for nothing?

As for the others, Chen Tian wasn't interested in knowing. He said indifferently, "They are people from your Ghost Dao Sect, so you can take care of it. I don't want to bother with it. Alright, I want to continue cultivating. You may leave."

After saying that, Chen Tian walked towards the back hall of the main hall.

Han Wuming nodded, and was about to leave, but suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he said with a smile, "Oh right, this old servant almost forgot to congratulate you, Master."

"Congratulate me?" Chen Tian frowned upon hearing this, stopped and turned around to look at him, asking puzzledly, "What are you congratulating me for?"

"Congratulations on breaking through to the Spirit Guiding Stage, Master," Han Wuming said with a flattering smile, "After ten years of seclusion, you have finally achieved something. This old servant is truly happy for you."

As he spoke, Han Wuming wiped his eyes with his sleeve, pretending to be moved to tears by joy.

However, Chen Tian shook his head with a smile after hearing this and said, "Forget it, it's too early for you to congratulate me now, because I haven't broken through to the Spirit Guiding Stage yet."

After saying this, Chen Tian sighed and continued walking towards the back hall.

"Wh... what? You haven't broken through to the Spirit Guiding Stage?" Han Wuming was shocked.

If Chen Tian hadn't broken through to the Spirit Guiding Stage, then why was it that when he fought Zhan Tianlong just now, not only was Chen Tian not injured, but he even managed to draw blood from Zhan Tianlong's arm?

Such strength could not be achieved in the Qi Activation Stage; it could only be achieved after breaking through to the Spirit Guiding Stage, which was why Han Wuming believed that Chen Tian had already broken through to the Spirit Guiding Stage.

But now Chen Tian said that he hadn't broken through yet, such a shocking thing made Han Wuming feel a little unbelievable.

Han Wuming thought to himself in amazement, 'If word got out that someone at the Qi Activation Stage could easily defeat someone at the Spirit Guiding Stage, would anyone believe it?'

Feeling awe-struck, Han Wuming looked at Chen Tian's back, feeling even more astonished.

........................................

On the other side, after returning to the back hall, Chen Tian sat down alone.

In fact, not only Han Wuming, but even Chen Tian himself felt it was unbelievable.

For the past ten years, besides occasionally making a few spirit talismans, Chen Tian had been constantly cultivating diligently, wanting to break through to the Spirit Guiding Stage as soon as possible.

However, what surprised Chen Tian was that after he had cultivated to the Great Perfection of the ninth level of the Qi Activation Stage, he had been unable to improve even by half a point.

Chen Tian had tried to break through to the Spirit Guiding Stage several times, but all had failed.

It felt as if every time at the most critical moment, there was suddenly an invisible force blocking him, preventing him from breaking through the layer of window paper between the Qi Activation Stage and the Spirit Guiding Stage, which made Chen Tian very distressed.

Since he couldn't break through to the Spirit Guiding Stage, Chen Tian had no choice but to constantly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and condense spiritual essence.

However, later on, even Chen Tian himself didn't know what state he had cultivated to.

It was at this time that Fan Da barged in and told Chen Tian about the battle between the Three Souls Sect and the Yougui Sect.

This immediately attracted Chen Tian's interest. Just right, Chen Tian also wanted to test his current strength, so he offered to help Fan Da participate in the battle.

However, the final result greatly exceeded Chen Tian's expectations. He first easily defeated Hua Wanting, who was at the Great Perfection of the Qi Activation Stage, and then defeated Zhan Tianlong, who was at the early stage of the Spirit Guiding Stage.

Although he only managed to draw blood from one of Zhan Tianlong's arms, such an achievement was enough to shock everyone.

You must know that if it were an ordinary Qi Activation Stage disciple, it would have been good enough if they weren't killed by a Spirit Guiding Stage cultivator, let alone talk about injuring him.

Therefore, Chen Tian's actions today had already created a myth.

However, Chen Tian didn't feel too excited about all of this; on the contrary, he felt extremely depressed.

At this moment, Chen Tian, with his hands supporting his chin, secretly worried in his heart, "What is the problem that is preventing me from breaking through to the Spirit Guiding Stage?"
