Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The prairie where Chen Tian was located was called the Scorched Plains. This name originated from a massive fire that had once swept through the area, burning all the plants and animals. Even the human tribes that originally inhabited this prairie had betrayed it and migrated thousands of miles away.

Over time, the prairie's true name was forgotten, and it was simply referred to as 'Scorched Plains.' Because it was so remote, even the name 'Scorched Plains' was rarely mentioned, as if the prairie had gradually faded from people's memories.

But who could have imagined that, just five years ago, this prairie, which was on the verge of being forgotten, would re-enter the public's consciousness in an incredible way?

It began one day five years ago when spiritual energy from all directions suddenly converged, forming a violent whirlwind over the prairie that blew constantly and relentlessly.

With the help of this pure and abundant spiritual energy, the prairie's originally withered grasses grew rapidly in an almost frenzied manner. In just one year, they erased all traces of the fire, making the prairie look even more vibrant than before.

This phenomenon was accidentally discovered by a passing shepherd, and the news spread quickly, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

No one had ever seen such an amazing sight, and they believed it to be a miracle from the heavens. So, they renamed the prairie 'God-Given Plains,' signifying that it was a prairie bestowed by the celestial gods. Every day, many devout men and women traveled thousands of miles with offerings to worship here.

Of course, the prairie's dense spiritual energy also attracted the attention of some cultivators, who came to observe it several times, but they couldn't figure out why such a strange phenomenon had occurred.

However, they realized that the prairie's abundant spiritual energy made it the perfect place to build a sect. So, some ambitious individuals planned to establish their own sects here.

But at this time, a problem arose that stumped them.

Although the spiritual energy on the prairie was abundant, it was also extremely violent, forming a fierce whirlwind that raged across the prairie, darkening the sky and blotting out the sun.

As a result, the houses they had just built would be blown away by the violent wind in no time, leaving not even a tile behind.

Once or twice was tolerable, but after their houses were destroyed by the wind three times in a row, their patience finally ran out. They concluded that this was a chaotic place, not suitable for establishing a sect, so they had to reluctantly give up and look elsewhere.

However, although the cultivators left, the prairie welcomed a new group of guests: the wild beasts that had left because of the fire!

These wild beasts had originally lived on the prairie, but the fire had forced them to relocate. Now that the prairie's grasses had grown back, they migrated back again.

And that wasn't all. Nourished by the prairie's endless spiritual energy, some of these wild beasts even developed intelligence and learned the art of Qi refinement.

Gradually, some low-level demonic beasts of the first and second order appeared among these wild beasts, becoming the masters of this prairie.

Logically speaking, in just five years, even if the prairie's spiritual energy was abundant, it could only allow these wild beasts to produce low-level demonic beasts of, at most, the third order.

But from some unknown day, a unique snake-like demonic beast suddenly appeared among these low-level demonic beasts.

This snake-like demonic beast was incredibly powerful and extremely fast. With a flick of its tail, it could fly thousands of feet away. No one had ever seen what it actually looked like; they could only see a green flash of lightning before their eyes.

However, it was speculated that this snake-like demonic beast had at least reached the strength of a Demon King. And as it turned out, its appearance quickly made it the king of all kinds of demonic beasts on the prairie, leading a group of demonic beasts to frolic and play on the prairie every day.

However, the news of the appearance of a high-level demonic beast on the prairie quickly spread, and unknowingly, many cultivators came here again.

But this time, they didn't come to establish a sect. Their purpose was all for that snake-like Demon King.

After all, every part of a Demon King-level demonic beast was a treasure. Whoever could capture it would naturally receive many benefits.

These things alone were enough to make countless cultivators flock here from afar.

......

On this day, a young man in a white robe and a young woman in a white dress were on the prairie, following a wild boar demonic beast with the strength of the second order at a very fast speed.

"Senior Brother Yunshan, do you think this demonic beast can really lead us to the Demon King?" During the flight, the young woman suddenly spoke, asking in an extremely sweet voice.

"Hehe, Junior Sister Caihua, just watch! I've been watching this wild boar demonic beast for a long time and found that it often hangs out with that Snake King. So, I'm sure that as long as we follow it, we'll definitely be able to find the Snake King's whereabouts." Faced with the woman's doubts, the young man replied with an arrogant expression.

The two of them, one named Shang Yunshan and the other named Shang Caihua, were both disciples of the 'Shangtian Sect,' which was not far from this prairie, and their strength had already reached the Transformation Spring Realm.

They had also heard about the Demon King and had come here specifically.

But the two of them did not give up. That's why they found this wild boar demonic beast today, which was very familiar with the Snake King, and asked it to lead them to capture the Snake King.

And to ensure success, this time, they had specifically returned to the sect and borrowed a powerful magic weapon from their grandmaster. They were confident that with this treasure, they would definitely be able to capture the Snake King!

"Senior Brother Yunshan, look quickly, there's movement ahead!"

Just as the young man was lost in thought, suddenly, the young woman beside him shouted, causing him to quickly come back to his senses. After frowning, he fixed his eyes on the front.
