Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

When Chen Tian reappeared, he was already on the grassland.

However, when the scorching sun in the sky cast a beam of bright light on him, Chen Tian subconsciously raised his palm and put it in front of his eyes to block it.

Indeed, for the past six years, Chen Tian had been hiding hundreds of feet below the surface, in the dark underground, making it difficult for him to adapt to the dazzling world above for a while.

After a moment of blurred vision, Chen Tian's eyes finally cleared up again, and the first thing that came into his view was the green and vibrant grass around him.

Chen Tian remembered that when he first arrived, the grass here was patchy, with a large area showing traces of being scorched by fire, but he didn't expect that in just a short period of time, this once scarred grassland had recovered as before, even more vibrant and lush than before the fire.

And all this credit actually stemmed from Chen Tian's unintentional actions.

‘The grass on the green prairie, withers and flourishes every year, the wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze blows and it grows again.’

Looking at the lush green grassland stretching as far as the eye could see, a poem widely circulated among mortals suddenly appeared in Chen Tian's mind.

After whispering the poem softly, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Chen Tian's mouth, and then he raised his foot, intending to leave this place.

“Rumble… Rumble…”

However, at this moment, a sound of running suddenly came from afar into Chen Tian's ears, causing him to be stunned and look up.

He saw that all around Chen Tian, groups of low-level demon beasts of various shapes were constantly running towards Chen Tian from all directions, and the sheer number of them shook the entire grassland, causing it to tremble.

“Hiss… Hiss…”

As if sensing the strange phenomenon around, the Emerald-Eyed Viper immediately crawled out of Chen Tian's sleeve again, wrapped around his neck.

At the same time, the demon beasts running from all directions had already arrived in front of Chen Tian, and next, they collectively made a move that greatly surprised Chen Tian.

These demon beasts, from the large elephants to the small prairie voles, all bent their limbs and knelt down to Chen Tian, their eyes slightly closed, looking respectful.

Although he couldn't understand their thoughts, Chen Tian could feel that the actions of these demon beasts at this time were expressing their respect to him.

Originally, during these six years, Chen Tian plundered a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy from the grassland, and his original intention was to use these vast spiritual energy to improve his cultivation in one fell swoop after Chen Tian integrated all his artistic insights. However, what Chen Tian did not expect was that it was precisely because of his actions that these beasts living on the grassland were able to bathe in the pure and rich heaven and earth spiritual energy every day, allowing them to open their spiritual wisdom and transform into demon beasts.

Also, during Chen Tian's seclusion, the Emerald-Eyed Viper, as the king of this group of demon beasts, while leading them to play, also taught them some simple demon techniques, allowing their demon power to advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.

Therefore, for these demon beasts, Chen Tian and the Emerald-Eyed Viper were their reborn parents, so at this time, realizing that Chen Tian was about to leave, these demon beasts specially rushed from all directions, in order to express their respect to Chen Tian, and at the same time, to see Chen Tian off.

For a time, hundreds of beasts roared on the grassland, and the loud sounds reverberated for thousands of miles. Those mortals who didn't understand what was happening thought that some great disaster had occurred, and they were so frightened that their faces changed drastically!

After seeing the Emerald-Eyed Viper and the demon beasts like this, Chen Tian couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart. After pondering for a while, he said lightly: “Forget it, since that's the case, then I'll give you another benefit. I hope you can take care of yourselves in the future.”

After saying that, Chen Tian's face suddenly became serious, and with a flip of his hand, he immediately took out forty-nine yellow flags from his storage ring. After silently reciting a magic formula, Chen Tian suddenly shouted: “Go!”

As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of crystal light flashed on these forty-nine yellow flags, and then they automatically flew up and flew rapidly in all directions of the grassland, and were inserted into seven different positions on the grassland in the shape of the Big Dipper.

At this time, waves of rich heaven and earth spiritual energy once again surged from all directions and gathered on the grassland, causing the concentration of spiritual energy here to rise steadily.

It turned out that the vast spiritual energy before had all been swallowed up by Chen Tian to increase his cultivation, and once the spiritual energy was lacking, then the improvement of the strength of these demon beasts would also come to an abrupt end.

At this time, Chen Tian used these forty-nine small flags to set up a huge spirit gathering array, so that the heaven and earth spiritual energy would once again gather, so that these demon beasts could continue to increase their demon power and improve their cultivation.

This can be regarded as Chen Tian's last gift to these demon beasts at the time of parting.

After all, everything has a beginning and an end. These demon beasts were originally created because of Chen Tian, so Chen Tian should also take responsibility for them.

Before long, extremely strong spiritual energy had gathered on the grassland. Although it was not as good as one-thousandth of the original, it was enough to make these demon beasts fall into a state of intoxication.

Looking at the demon beasts in this state, Chen Tian smiled slightly and did not disturb them. He took the Emerald-Eyed Viper, slowly ascended into the air, and then suddenly accelerated and flew forward.

Chen Tian originally wanted to leave the grassland directly, but suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something again, and released all the aura on his body without reservation, and circled around the edge of the grassland.

At this time, Chen Tian's cultivation had already reached the late stage of the凝海境 (Ninghai Realm), so after releasing all his aura, it formed a monstrous air wave, sweeping towards all directions.

… …

After feeling Chen Tian's aura, the large and small sects within ten thousand miles around the grassland were instantly taken aback, and then all the cultivators, no matter what they were doing at this time, temporarily put down what they were doing and flew into the air.

From afar, they saw a white-clothed man shrouded in a dazzling halo, hovering high in the sky, reflecting each other with the midday sun beside him, causing them to have the illusion that there were actually two suns in the sky!

This man was Chen Tian!

“Listen to me, within five hundred years, no one can set foot on this grassland, and no one can dare to hunt any demon beast on this grassland. Those who violate this order will be killed!”

After all the immortal cultivators in this area had arrived, Chen Tian's tone was icy cold, and he issued such an order to everyone. Then, the aura on his body suddenly strengthened, like a landslide, sweeping towards everyone, and he said again: “Do you all understand?”
