Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Wonderful, wonderful!”

Upon hearing the red-robed elder's words, the burly man was immediately overjoyed and eagerly said, “Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? Let's do it!”

“There's no rush.” However, after hearing this, the red-robed elder didn't seem anxious at all. Instead, he turned around and looked at Chen Tian, who was standing to the side, “Young friend, may I have a word with you?”

“Senior, there's no need to be so polite. If you have something to say, please speak your mind. This junior will certainly comply!” Seeing the red-robed elder looking over, Chen Tian didn't dare to be negligent and quickly cupped his hands.

Faced with Chen Tian's respectful expression, the red-robed elder seemed very satisfied. He then nodded and said, “It's like this, the three of us will be joining hands to handle something later, and we won't be able to spare any attention. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, we hope this young friend can help us protect the process. Would that be alright?”

“So that's what it is.” After hearing the red-robed elder's words, Chen Tian smiled slightly and nodded, “It would be my honor to serve the three seniors. Please rest assured, seniors, I will definitely ensure that no one gets close to this place.”

“Very good, then we'll have to trouble you, young friend.” Seeing Chen Tian's statement, the red-robed elder seemed extremely excited and immediately smiled again.

However, at this moment, Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something again, and immediately said, “By the way, senior, regarding the matter just now, can this junior ask a question?”

“Of course.” The red-robed elder smiled and nodded, revealing a kind look, “What do you want to ask?”

“It's like this, what exactly is the Immortal Power that the seniors have been talking about? Also, what is the Immortal Clan?” Since he had chosen to play the fool, Chen Tian decided to play the ‘fool’ to the very end!

However, after hearing Chen Tian's question, the smile on the red-robed elder's face instantly disappeared without a trace. Then, his eyes turned cold, and he said in a somber tone, “Young friend, you must remember that there are some things in this world that you can understand, but the more you understand some things, the greater the harm to yourself. Therefore, as an elder, I advise you not to inquire too much about this matter, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself. Do you understand?”

Seeing the red-robed elder's slightly unkind expression, Chen Tian shuddered and quickly said, “This… this junior understands. Then I won't ask anymore. I'll go and protect the process for you seniors now.”

As he spoke, Chen Tian moved and was about to fly outside.

“Hold on!”

However, just at this moment, the red-robed elder suddenly stopped Chen Tian, who was about to leave.

“Hmm? Senior, do you have anything else to instruct?” After stopping, Chen Tian asked in confusion.

At this time, the red-robed elder returned to his previous amiable appearance. He flipped his hand, and immediately a piece of Immortal Crystal Stone containing immense spiritual power appeared in his hand, “Since you have agreed to protect the process for us, we will not treat you unfairly. This top-grade Immortal Crystal Stone will be our extra reward to you.”

It turned out that what the red-robed elder took out at this time was actually an extremely precious top-grade Immortal Crystal Stone!

Chen Tian was stunned for a moment when he saw this, but soon a look of surprise appeared on his face. After thanking him, he reached out and took it.

Seeing this scene, the red-robed elder nodded in satisfaction and said, “Alright, there's nothing else for you here. You can go and protect the process for us.”

“Yes, this junior obeys.”

Chen Tian nodded in agreement. Then, he moved and flew backward.

What the three of them didn't see was that at the moment Chen Tian turned his head, the respectful look on his face was gone, replaced by a sinister expression of ‘trickery succeeding’.

Then, Chen Tian kept retreating until he was a thousand feet away before he stopped. He took out the Profound Forbidden Immortal Sword and cautiously looked around, as if he was really protecting the process for everyone.

“Fellow Daoist Longyu, why did you deliberately send this kid away?” From beginning to end, the burly man and the graceful woman had not spoken. It wasn't until Chen Tian left their side that the burly man asked.

After all, with his cultivation, he naturally knew that what the red-robed elder had said just now was false. They didn't need a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like Chen Tian to protect them at all. And obviously, the red-robed elder's purpose in doing so was only one: to deliberately send Chen Tian away.

“Hehe, although this kid has already agreed to cooperate with us, I faintly feel that this kid is a bit unusual. Therefore, in order to prevent him from deliberately causing trouble later, I might as well make up a reason to send him away!”

It turned out that in the red-robed elder's heart, he had always been uneasy about Chen Tian. He thought that if he continued to keep Chen Tian by his side, then Chen Tian might go back on his word and compete with them for the treasure containing Immortal Power when they found it later.

Therefore, in order to avoid any unnecessary trouble, the red-robed elder used the excuse of ‘protecting the process’ to send Chen Tian a thousand feet away.

Only in this way could he ensure that Chen Tian would not hinder them later.

“Haha, as expected, Fellow Daoist Longyu is more considerate. Now that this kid has left, let's not wait any longer. Let's find the treasure containing Immortal Power as soon as possible!”

After understanding the red-robed elder's thoughts, the burly man suddenly understood. However, compared to these, what he was more eager for was to find the magic weapon containing Immortal Power as soon as possible, so he urged him at this moment.

Seeing his anxious appearance, the red-robed elder shook his head as if he was a little helpless, and then said, “Alright, then let's join hands now, gather all our spiritual power, and refine these magic weapons.”

Hearing the red-robed elder's order, the burly man and the graceful woman didn't dare to object. They saw their expressions congeal, and then they continuously poured the spiritual power in their bodies into the pile of magic weapons.

Although the grade of this pile of magic weapons Chen Tian took out was not high, it was superior in its large number, with a full hundred or so pieces. At this time, these magic weapons were all gathered into a ball, suspended in mid-air. Under the infusion of the majestic spiritual power, they emitted a faint red light.

The three of them all possessed the cultivation of the Sky Building Realm, and the spiritual power in their bodies was even more terrifying. At this time, they poured it out together, immediately causing the pressure on this pile of magic weapons to increase rapidly, as if it were a furnace, constantly refining them.

At this time, the sound of “crack… crackle” constantly echoed in the air. The surface of those magic weapons actually cracked with fine lines. Finally, with a “pop”, one of the magic weapons seemed unable to withstand it any longer. Under the pressure of the huge spiritual power, it turned into fragments and disappeared into nothingness.

Seeing this scene, a trace of surprise flashed across the faces of the three people. Then, they continued to pour the vast spiritual power in their bodies into this pile of magic weapons, causing the pressure inside to rise rapidly.

“Pop… pop… pop…”

In the following period of time, under the smelting of such terrifying pressure, magic weapons shattered one after another, turning into piles of debris and falling down. Until the end, all of the more than one hundred magic weapons disappeared without a trace. In the sky, only the last one remained… It was a red jade slip engraved with strange runes!
