Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Although they couldn't clearly see Chen Tian's appearance, everyone could sense the terrifying aura emanating from him.

The strength of this aura far surpassed everyone present, as intense as the scorching sun in the sky. And every word Chen Tian spoke was like a huge stone pressing on their hearts, until finally, these stones piled up into a giant mountain, making it even harder for them to breathe.

Everyone understood in their hearts that this person's strength was extremely high, almost comparable to a Zhutian realm expert. Opposing him would only lead to death.

Although they didn't know why this person would issue such a strange command, everyone didn't dare to object in the slightest, hurriedly bowing and respectfully responding, "Yes! We respectfully obey the Immortal's command!"

Seeing everyone's response, Chen Tian nodded in satisfaction. Then, his figure moved, transforming into a streak of light, and flew forward at extreme speed. Almost in the blink of an eye, Chen Tian disappeared from everyone's sight.

And after Chen Tian left, these immortal cultivators suspended in mid-air turned their heads to look at the grassland Chen Tian mentioned, their eyes flashing with doubt, as if they still felt completely bewildered.

‘What exactly does this person want to do?’

… …

On the other side, Chen Tian had already flown thousands of miles away. Only then did he remove the golden light that had been shrouding him, and his whole body's aura became restrained, like a gentle breeze, soaring freely in the sky.

In fact, the reason Chen Tian issued such a strange command was very simple. Chen Tian knew that the strength of the demon beasts on the grassland was still too weak, and once he left, the surrounding immortal cultivators would definitely be ready to make trouble and hunt them down wantonly. In less than a year, they would hunt all the demon beasts on the grassland to extinction.

Therefore, Chen Tian issued this command to these people, and his purpose was to protect these demon beasts, so that they could improve their strength in a safe environment.

Of course, Chen Tian deeply knew that the law of the jungle was the eternal law of the world. He could protect these demon beasts for a while, but he couldn't protect them for a lifetime. Therefore, Chen Tian set the protection period to five hundred years.

According to Chen Tian's speculation, with these five hundred years of peace, plus the Spirit Gathering Array he set up, the strength of that group of demon beasts would definitely have a rapid increase. Perhaps it was not impossible for a few real demon kings to be born from them.

And by that time, these demon beasts would naturally have the power to protect themselves, so let the future things evolve freely. Chen Tian didn't want to pay attention to it anymore. After all, the survival of the fittest. All Chen Tian could do was this.

Thinking like this, a flash of light suddenly appeared in Chen Tian's eyes. Then, he took out the Sky-Covering Feather Veil, put it on his body, and flew forward silently.

… …

In fact, the subsequent events unfolded as Chen Tian had guessed. With the help of the Spirit Gathering Array set up by Chen Tian, the strength of the demon beasts on the grassland can be described as increasing day by day. In addition, with Chen Tian's threat, no one dared to easily set foot on this grassland within five hundred years.

And with this period of peace, the strength of the demon beasts on the grassland had become extremely strong. Five hundred years later, a total of ten demon kings were born, on par with Ximi Mountain and Yueli Mountain, becoming a new holy land for the demon race.

The only difference from other places was that the demon beasts on this grassland did not listen to the commands of the Demon God Sect. In the core area where they lived, there was a unique stone statue.

On the stone statue, there was an image of a white-clothed man with a refined temperament, and around his neck, there was a small emerald green snake spitting out its forked tongue.

After flying for three days and three nights, Chen Tian had completely flown out of the grassland, and the location where he was at this time was a continuous mountain range.

Because Chen Tian was completely shrouded in the Sky-Covering Feather Veil, no cultivator or beast could find him. As a result, a group of migrating geese flew alongside Chen Tian, and the beating of their wings was only a few inches away from Chen Tian.

The weather was extremely good this day, so Chen Tian's mood couldn't help but become much brighter. He didn't drive away this group of geese, but instead, he and them freely soared in this sky, looking at the blue sky, Chen Tian felt his state of mind was unprecedentedly peaceful.

It turned out that when Chen Tian was in seclusion before, he had already discovered that the biggest obstacle preventing him from breaking through to the Zhutian realm now was spiritual power.

After all, accumulating spiritual power is an extremely long process. If according to ordinary methods, Chen Tian would need to retreat and cultivate for hundreds of years to accumulate enough spiritual power to break through to the Zhutian realm.

However, with a powerful enemy in front of him, what Chen Tian lacked most was time. If he wanted to break through to the Zhutian realm as soon as possible, then Chen Tian would only have to find another way. And the biggest purpose of his exit this time was to collect spiritual power!

When saving Qin Yi, Old Yao once gave Chen Tian a task, asking him to collect spiritual power equivalent to that of a Zhutian realm cultivator within a year.

In order to complete this task, Chen Tian had put in a lot of effort. After racking his brains for a long time, he finally found a good way, that is, to steal the spiritual veins in some large sects!

These spiritual veins all contain countless spiritual power, enough to meet Chen Tian's needs.

At the beginning, Chen Tian found ten targets and successfully stole the spiritual veins from two of the sects. However, later, because of that Jade Cave, Chen Tian accidentally collected the remaining required spiritual power, so there was no need to steal the spiritual veins from the other eight sects.

However, today, this unfinished plan gave Chen Tian a great inspiration. Chen Tian thought that if he wanted to accumulate the most spiritual power in the shortest time, then the best way would naturally be to steal the spiritual veins from these remaining eight sects.

And before this, Chen Tian had already done a detailed investigation of these eight sects, so there was no difficulty in implementing it. This can be regarded as unintentionally gaining something!

And now Chen Tian is on the way to one of the sects named 'Haomiao Sect'. In that sect, there is an ancient spiritual vein that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and the spiritual power within it is extremely abundant.

And according to Chen Tian's speculation, it would take about four more days of flying to reach it.

Because there was plenty of time, Chen Tian was not in a hurry to hurry, but instead, he quite enjoyed this rare peaceful time.

“Huh?”

However, just as Chen Tian flew over a mountain range, he suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and immediately frowned, revealing a look of surprise!
