Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

After an unknown period, the incredibly robust tornado on the grassland gradually weakened, eventually becoming a gentle breeze. Even the last trace of spiritual energy was devoured by Chen Tian.

Only then did Chen Tian reopen his eyes. After inspecting his body with his spiritual sense, he discovered that after absorbing the vast spiritual energy accumulated on the grassland for five years, his cultivation had skyrocketed dozens of times, leaving him only one step away from the late stage of the凝海 (Ning Hai) Realm.

Faced with this gratifying achievement, most people would probably be overjoyed, but Chen Tian was not. At this moment, he still frowned, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, as if he were rapidly contemplating something.

"It seems it's time to use those two things."

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Tian seemed to have made up his mind. With a flip of his hand, two items flew out of his storage ring. One was a drop of blood-like liquid, shimmering with bursts of blue light; the other was a strangely shaped, bizarre fruit.

Although they looked different, these two items had one thing in common: they both contained an immeasurable amount of power.

The drop of blue blood was a gift from the leader of the 修仙 (Xiuxian) Alliance, entrusted to the Red and Blue Venerables to give to him. As for the other strange fruit, it was the 燊仙 (Shen Xian) Fruit that 上君 (Shang Jun) Liao Hua gave him when he went to visit the old madman.

Chen Tian knew that the reason why both the 修仙 (Xiuxian) Alliance and 上君 (Shang Jun) Liao Hua gave him such precious gifts was for one purpose only: to try their best to win him over!

And as a general rule, the more precious the gift, the bigger the trouble behind it.

If it were Chen Tian's usual self, he would never accept these gifts, but this time was different. Chen Tian didn't have much time left, and he had to break through to the 筑天 (Zhu Tian) Realm in the shortest possible time!

Because Chen Tian knew that 靳蚩 (Jin Chi) was always looking for him, and no one could predict when or where 靳蚩 (Jin Chi) would appear before Chen Tian.

So Chen Tian realized that if he wanted to break through to the 筑天 (Zhu Tian) Realm, he had to rely on some external forces. At this time, the gifts from the 修仙 (Xiuxian) Alliance and 上君 (Shang Jun) Liao Hua were like sending charcoal in the snow, and Chen Tian had no reason to refuse.

Although he knew that both of them had ulterior motives, Chen Tian couldn't care less, after all, breaking through to the 筑天 (Zhu Tian) Realm as soon as possible was the most important thing at the moment.

Thinking this way, Chen Tian regained his composure, took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted, "Break!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the drop of blue blood and the 燊仙 (Shen Xian) Fruit exploded in front of Chen Tian, and the vast spiritual energy contained within them, like a raging flood, roared out and frantically poured into Chen Tian's body.

These two things were both rare and precious treasures of heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy contained within them was extremely terrifying. As soon as they poured into Chen Tian's body, they immediately rampaged through Chen Tian's body with a destructive force, breaking several of Chen Tian's meridians.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian secretly cried out that it was not good. Although he had expected these two things to be extraordinary, he still underestimated their power. He did not expect the spiritual energy contained in them to be so terrifying. If he allowed them to continue to rampage, he was afraid that they would burst Chen Tian's body.

In horror, Chen Tian didn't have time to think, immediately closed his eyes, and with a thought, began to guide this vast spiritual energy, like a滔天 (Tao Tian) flood, to slowly circulate.

Under Chen Tian's efforts, this originally unruly and violent spiritual energy was finally slowly tamed and began to integrate into his dantian according to Chen Tian's intention, and continuously compressed and refined it.

At the same time, Chen Tian's cultivation once again grew rapidly in an explosive manner, and this growth rate was dozens of times faster than before!

However, Chen Tian himself was not aware of all this. At this time, he was still carefully guiding the violent spiritual energy in his body to fuse and refine, because if there was a slight mistake, this spiritual energy would explode instantly and burst Chen Tian's body!

...

Time passed, the seasons changed, and spring, summer, autumn, and winter left their marks on the grassland in turn. Whether it was the green buds of early spring, the scorching summer sun, the withered and bleak late autumn, or the snow in winter, they all tried their best to prove their existence on the grassland in different forms and in different ways.

And when the snow melted again and the spring flowers bloomed, in a cave hundreds of feet below the depths of the grassland, Chen Tian's eyebrows trembled inadvertently, and then his eyes, which had been closed for a long time, slowly opened again.

"Late stage of the 凝海 (Ning Hai) Realm! Is this all I can achieve? Not enough! Not enough!" However, the moment Chen Tian opened his eyes, he smiled bitterly as if mocking himself.

Even after absorbing all the vast spiritual energy contained in the mysterious blood and the 燊仙 (Shen Xian) Fruit, Chen Tian only raised his cultivation to the late stage of the 凝海 (Ning Hai) Realm. Not to mention the 筑天 (Zhu Tian) Realm, he had not even reached the great perfection of the 凝海 (Ning Hai) Realm!

Although he had long known the difficulty of breaking through to the 筑天 (Zhu Tian) Realm, Chen Tian still underestimated its difficulty. Only now did Chen Tian understand that breaking through to the 筑天 (Zhu Tian) Realm was indeed a very difficult thing. Otherwise, there would not be so few 筑天 (Zhu Tian) Realm experts in the entire cultivation world.

Of course, in fact, Chen Tian's cultivation speed was already very fast, and could be described as terrifying! It was just because he was too anxious that he felt that the progress was slow.

And if the outside world knew about the changes that had happened to Chen Tian in the past year, I am afraid that all cultivators would vomit blood out of jealousy.

After all, a year ago, Chen Tian only had the cultivation of the early stage of the 凝海 (Ning Hai) Realm, but now he has reached the late stage of the 凝海 (Ning Hai) Realm! He is only one step away from the great perfection of the 凝海 (Ning Hai) Realm.

That is to say, within a year, Chen Tian's cultivation has jumped a full two realms!

This incredible growth rate has far exceeded anyone on the 乾元 (Qian Yuan) Continent, that is to say, everything Chen Tian is doing at this time is actually rewriting the records in the cultivation world.

It's just that Chen Tian himself did not feel satisfied because of this. After all, behind him, there is still a potential and huge threat hidden, that is, 靳蚩 (Jin Chi).

Chen Tian did not know when 靳蚩 (Jin Chi) would come to his door, and all he could do now was to improve his strength as soon as possible before 靳蚩 (Jin Chi) arrived, at least to break through to the 筑天 (Zhu Tian) Realm, otherwise, the only thing waiting for Chen Tian was death.

It was precisely because there was a 'wolf' chasing behind him that Chen Tian felt that everything was still too slow before he broke through to the 筑天 (Zhu Tian) Realm.

"No, this is not the way, if I continue like this, I have no capital to fight against 靳蚩 (Jin Chi), spiritual energy! spiritual energy! I need a lot of spiritual energy!" At this time, Chen Tian could not help but become anxious and muttered to himself.

Chen Tian did not have so much time to slowly cultivate and accumulate spiritual energy. He had to take a shortcut, a shortcut that could help him reach the 筑天 (Zhu Tian) Realm as soon as possible!

And before that, the first difficulty in front of Chen Tian was to collect a large amount of spiritual energy!

"It seems that I can only use that method." After a moment of contemplation, Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Then, he seemed to have made up his mind, stood up suddenly, took a step forward, and the next moment, Chen Tian's figure disappeared from this cave!
