Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Brother Fang, what do you think?” At this moment, Venerable Lian frowned and asked the silver-haired elder.

“Although we don’t know who detonated themselves just now, there is no doubt that the power of this self-detonation is extremely vast. Even if a Sky Building Realm expert were here, they might not be able to withstand it! So I think that whether it's Chen Tian or Li Qianyun, they might already be dead by now,” the silver-haired elder replied after a moment of contemplation.

After hearing the silver-haired elder's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Indeed, even though they were fifty thousand miles away, they could clearly sense the immense power of the self-detonation. Not to mention Chen Tian and Li Qianyun, who were at the very center of the explosion. They were probably already blown to bits, not even bones remaining.

Thinking of this, besides shock, a deep sense of regret appeared on everyone's faces. After witnessing the terrifying strength of the two earlier, they had realized that these two were rare geniuses, hard to come by even in tens of thousands of years. If they were given more time, they would surely be able to cultivate to the Sky Building Realm!

But now, they had lost their lives in this desolate place due to a moment of impulsiveness. This outcome couldn't help but make everyone feel a pang of regret.

Especially Chen Tian. In the beginning, not many people truly favored him, but as the battle progressed, the terrifying strength Chen Tian displayed had conquered everyone, making them feel that perhaps the ultimate victor might be Chen Tian!

Thinking of this, the silver-haired elder and Venerable Lian exchanged a look, and then a wry smile appeared on their faces.

The two of them had initially been entrusted by the Red and Blue Venerables to come and look after Chen Tian, and were required to take action to save Chen Tian in times of crisis!

When they received this instruction, they were extremely puzzled, wondering why the highly respected Red and Blue Venerables would look at this little Chen Tian with such special regard!

Although quite puzzled, because this matter was personally entrusted by the Red and Blue Venerables, they didn't ask too much and immediately set off for this Qifeng Mountain!

Originally, the two thought that this battle would be a one-sided massacre by Li Qianyun, and Chen Tian would have no chance of winning! But as the battle progressed, the terrifying strength that Chen Tian displayed suddenly shocked them!

They never expected that Chen Tian, with only the cultivation of the early Sea Condensation Realm, would not only not be at a disadvantage when facing Li Qianyun, who was at the peak of the Sea Condensation Realm, but would instead take the initiative everywhere, beating Li Qianyun into a state of disarray and embarrassment!

It was only then that the silver-haired elder and Venerable Lian realized that the person the Red and Blue Venerables had asked them to protect was actually so terrifyingly strong, and would probably be able to break through to the Sky Building Realm in the future!

At the same time, they also understood the Red and Blue Venerables' intention. The reason they wanted them to help Chen Tian was to take the opportunity to give Chen Tian a favor, so as to win him over later! And even if they couldn't win him over, based on this favor, Chen Tian probably wouldn't oppose their Immortal Cultivation Alliance in the future!

It had to be said that these Red and Blue Venerables were truly thoughtful, always thinking of the alliance!

And after understanding this, the two naturally didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, which was why they resolutely stood up to rescue Chen Tian when he was in danger for the first time! But they never expected that Li Qianyun would be so thorough in her plan to kill Chen Tian, and would not hesitate to spend a lot of money to bring Venerable Wuba to intervene. There was no way, Venerable Wuba's status in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance was on par with the Red and Blue Venerables. With their strength, they couldn't afford to offend any party, so under Li Qianyun's mocking gaze, the two could only cowardly withdraw!

At the same time, the two also knew that the Red and Blue Venerables' good intentions would inevitably come to naught. After all, because Venerable Wuba also belonged to the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, and he was supporting Li Qianyun today, it would inevitably arouse Chen Tian's resentment, so the idea of recruiting Chen Tian instantly vanished! And that wasn't all. As for whether Chen Tian would resent the Immortal Cultivation Alliance in the future, no one could say for sure!

Of course, these were all the silver-haired elder and Venerable Lian's previous thoughts. As for now, they didn't need to worry about this matter anymore. Because they were very sure that in the incomparably powerful self-detonation just now, even if Chen Tian really possessed heaven-defying abilities, he would probably have been reduced to ashes by now.

“Alas, it's really a pity about Chen Tian's talent. If he could be used by our Immortal Cultivation Alliance, that would be a great thing!” After a sigh, the silver-haired elder said with a wry smile.

Venerable Lian seemed to be able to understand his mood, and immediately said helplessly: “Alright, Brother Fang, Chen Tian's misfortune today was destined in his fate. Even if you and I regret it, there's nothing we can do about it. I think we should think about the future.”

“The future?” Hearing Venerable Lian's words, the silver-haired elder immediately frowned and said: “I wonder what Brother Lian means by this?”

Looking at the silver-haired elder's confused look, Venerable Lian smiled bitterly again: “Could it be that Brother Fang has forgotten? When we came, the Red and Blue Venerables repeatedly urged us to protect Chen Tian! But who would have thought that today would turn out like this, so how should we explain to the Red and Blue Venerables when we go back!”

Indeed, the Red and Blue Venerables had specifically instructed the two to do everything possible to save Chen Tian's life! But now that Chen Tian was dead, how should they go back and report to the Red and Blue Venerables?

“This……”

After hearing Venerable Lian's explanation, the silver-haired elder seemed to understand the stakes involved, and was no longer as impulsive as before. His tone softened, and he asked: “Then, according to Brother Lian's meaning, what should we do?”

“Alas, we can't afford to offend either the Red and Blue Venerables or Venerable Wuba, so my meaning is that we should take the blame for this matter. It's better to be accused of dereliction of duty than to anger Venerable Wuba, right? Brother Fang, what do you think?” Venerable Lian suggested.

After listening to his words, the silver-haired elder fell into deep thought. After a long time, he smiled wryly and helplessly: “Alas, it seems that this is the only way.”

Venerable Lian nodded after hearing this and said: “Since Brother Fang also agrees, then we will act accordingly. After the three-layered barrier is broken, we will go in and find Chen Tian's body, and then take it back to the Immortal Cultivation Alliance to report!”

The silver-haired elder didn't object, but at this moment, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and suddenly laughed, and then said: “I was thinking, does that kid Chen Tian really still have a body? I'm afraid that after we go in, we will only see a pile of minced meat.”

Hearing this, Venerable Lian also laughed and said: “Whether it's a body or minced meat, we always have to take something back to report, right? Forget it, let's not discuss this first, let's meditate and recuperate in place, and then go look for Chen Tian's body after the three-layered barrier is broken.”

“Yes, that's settled then.”

The silver-haired elder nodded, and then the two turned around, intending to find a clean place to meditate and recuperate!

“Buzz!”

However, just as they had just turned around, suddenly a sharp sound suddenly rang out from behind them.

After hearing this sound, the silver-haired elder and Venerable Lian were immediately startled. Then, without hesitation, they hurriedly scanned the place where the sound came from!
