Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

It was clear that the thing Elder Yao wanted to entrust to Chen Tian was for him to accept those seven little blue men.

But with that, Chen Tian felt quite surprised, because from the words just now, Chen Tian knew that Elder Yao loved those seven little blue men very much, treating them as if they were his own grandsons.

And in this world, which grandfather would be willing to send his own grandson away?

So Chen Tian felt that there must be a hidden story in this!

"Kid, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. You don't have to look at me with that kind of gaze. I will naturally tell you everything I should say." Seeing the gleam in Chen Tian's eyes, Elder Yao smiled wryly and slowly said: "Let's put it this way, the remaining lifespan of this old man is not much. It's just a matter of these few years. Once I leave, these spirit pets will lose their support. Although they are naturally clever, their strength is not strong. If no one takes care of them, I am very worried about what will happen to them. Therefore, before I die, I must help them find a good family to foster them."

"How could this be?" Chen Tian was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly asked: "Senior, your voice sounds full of vigor and resounding. Where is there any sign of imminent death? I'm afraid this worry of yours is unnecessary, right?"

"Haha, kid, don't try to fool me with these nice words. I have studied medicine all my life, and I know my own body's condition very well. I know that my time is running out!"

If Elder Yao had maintained a bit of composure and calmness in the previous conversations, then with this sentence, the energy and spirit on Elder Yao's body seemed to have disappeared in an instant. Hearing it in Chen Tian's ears, it made him feel a kind of cold aura facing death directly.

At the same time, Chen Tian finally confirmed that Elder Yao's lifespan was probably really running out.

However, Elder Yao was, after all, an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years. After a brief moment of frustration, he recovered and smiled indifferently: "But this old man's life can be considered worthwhile. May I ask, who in this world can live longer than this old man? That Liao Huazi, even if he cultivated to the Zhutian realm, didn't he die before this old man? Haha, serves him right, truly serves him right. Just imagining the horror before his death, this old man can't help but laugh, haha, it's so painful!"

The previous Elder Yao had been slightly worried, but when he mentioned this 'Liao Huazi,' he changed his previous decadence, and his tone revealed a strong sense of sarcasm and ridicule.

When Chen Tian heard the name 'Liao Huazi,' his heart couldn't help but jump violently. Although Chen Tian had never seen Liao Huazi in person, he had heard of him.

It was during the first year that Chen Tian accompanied Qin Yi on a trip. The usually quiet cultivation world suddenly received explosive news. Yunhua Palace's founder, Liao Huazi, whose cultivation had reached the Zhutian realm, had actually died. Although according to the timeline, Liao Huazi, who had lived for nearly six thousand years, had died of old age, there were rumors that a gust of yin wind had blown by the moment before his death. Immediately afterward, Liao Huazi's body was cut into countless pieces by a sharp weapon. The tragic appearance made the disciples on guard feel terrified.

Of course, the obituary issued by Yunhua Palace still attributed Liao Huazi's death to a natural death, so after the rumors spread for a long time, they also died down.

Originally, Chen Tian didn't take this matter too seriously, but now, hearing the madness and violence in Elder Yao's tone, Chen Tian couldn't help but have another idea in his mind.

Of course, this idea was too bold, and Chen Tian didn't say it in front of Elder Yao, but it was obvious that Chen Tian's expression couldn't help but become restrained, and his eyes were guarded like a wild wolf.

On the other side, after a burst of wild laughter, Elder Yao finally calmed down. At this time, he returned to the previous vicissitudes and worries, sighed, and said: "This old man has poor talent, and his life has been stuck in the Ninghai realm and unable to break through. He originally naively wanted to enter the Dao through medical skills and achieve the Great Dao, but the final result was all in vain. So this old man knows that I don't have many years to live, and I must find a suitable master for those spirit pets before I die. In the past few decades, this old man has assessed nearly a thousand people, including that young man just now, but no one is worthy of this old man's entrustment, until this moment, this old man met you, the Sect Master of the Immortal Demon Sect, Chen Tian!"

"Oh, so it seems that Senior already knows my details?" Hearing the word 'Immortal Demon Sect' from Elder Yao's mouth, Chen Tian was first startled, and then immediately reacted. He was afraid that Elder Yao already knew everything about him.

"Haha, kid, don't think that just because this old man stays in this dark stone room all year round, he knows nothing about the affairs of the cultivation world. Let me tell you, there is nothing in this world that can be hidden from this old man. From the moment you first came to this Tianya Haige, this old man had already figured out your identity. Otherwise, this old man would not let any idlers into my manor." Facing Chen Tian's surprise, Elder Yao laughed loudly.

However, after hearing this, the surprise in Chen Tian's heart gradually calmed down. Indeed, Elder Yao had lived for tens of thousands of years and had great power. It was not difficult for him to understand his details.

Or rather, if Elder Yao still knew nothing about Chen Tian's affairs until now, it would be surprising.

Thinking of this, a smile reappeared on Chen Tian's face, and he nodded: "Alright, Senior, then allow this junior to ask one last question. As long as you can answer, I will promise you that after your death, I will help you take care of those seven spirit pets."

"Haha, kid, let this old man guess, do you want to ask why this old man chose you alone among so many cultivators, right?" Before Chen Tian could finish the question, Elder Yao preemptively said it.

Chen Tian was not surprised when he heard this, and nodded indifferently: "Yes, that's the question. I hope Senior can explain it!"

Chen Tian was able to get to where he is today because of his wit and caution, so before understanding Elder Yao's motives, Chen Tian would never easily agree to this request.

Seeming to see Chen Tian's rigor, Elder Yao smiled lightly and slowly said: "This old man has lived for tens of thousands of years, and has no other skills, but his ability to recognize people is extremely accurate. The moment I saw you, this old man recognized that you are completely different from the thousands of people I have seen before. In you, this old man saw an unpredictable change, like a rising sun, with a surging and bright future, so this old man predicted that entrusting these spirit pets to you is an extremely correct choice. And…"

"Um, and what else?" Hearing that Elder Yao seemed to have more to say, Chen Tian frowned and asked.
