Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Reporting to you, Senior, Sect Leader Xu Chang of the Chaoyun Sect is my close friend of three hundred years, so I plan to go and seek refuge with him. What's wrong? Is there a problem?” The old man, seeing Chen Tian's strange expression, felt puzzled but dared not neglect him, so he repeated himself.

However, Chen Tian laughed upon hearing this and nodded, saying, “Perfect. I also have some business at the Chaoyun Sect. Since we're going the same way, I'll join you.”

“What?”

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the old man and the Xiao brothers, Xiao Fang and Xiao Ling'er, were all greatly shocked.

However, after regaining their senses, a strong sense of excitement surged in their hearts. After all, Chen Tian's strength was extraordinary, and if they traveled with him, the journey ahead would be incomparably safe.

You should know that in the beginning, there were more than a hundred disciples from the Xianhe Sect who fled together. However, along the way, they encountered several waves of demon and monster coalition forces. After several major battles, they now have less than twenty people left.

Moreover, they had already exhausted all their elixirs and magical treasures, reaching the point of exhaustion. If they were to encounter another wave of demon and monster coalition forces, it is not difficult to imagine that the only ending awaiting them would be complete annihilation.

Therefore, Chen Tian's words at this time were undoubtedly like a spring breeze in March, making everyone's faces light up with joy.

“By the way, Immortal Brother, what are you going to do at the Chaoyun Sect?”

After discovering Chen Tian's extraordinary cultivation level, Xiao Fang had already changed his address to 'Senior' to show respect. However, Xiao Ling'er was different. In her heart, Chen Tian would always be the Immortal Brother who gave them candied haws in their most critical moment. Therefore, ignoring the huge gap in strength between them, she still called Chen Tian 'Immortal Brother'.

Looking at this delicate yet slightly mischievous Xiao Ling'er, Chen Tian didn't mind at all and said with a smile, “I can't tell you about this for the time being, but don't worry, I will do my best to protect you on the way to the Chaoyun Sect.”

“That's right, Ling'er. Senior's affairs are not something we can inquire about. Senior is already giving us a great deal of face by accompanying us. So, it's best if you don't ask too many questions.” Xiao Fang, fearing that Xiao Ling'er would say something wrong, quickly stopped her.

After all, Xiao Fang understood that Chen Tian was already from a different world than them. And for immortal experts of Chen Tian's status, it was best not to inquire too much, lest they bring trouble upon themselves.

The Sect Leader of the Xianhe Sect naturally understood this principle as well, so he smiled and respectfully said, “Alright, then we will trouble Senior to escort us. I, on behalf of the Xianhe Sect, thank you in advance, Senior.”

Saying that, the old man bowed to Chen Tian again, while Chen Tian simply smiled without saying a word.

After another short period of rest, the Xianhe Sect disciples, led by the old man, took to the air and flew away. After all, after days of traveling, everyone was extremely exhausted and only wanted to reach the Chaoyun Sect as soon as possible to have a place to settle down.

After taking the medicinal pill Chen Tian gave her, Xiao Ling'er not only recovered from her injuries, but her cultivation had also subtly improved. This amazing phenomenon immediately excited the Xiao brothers, Xiao Ling'er and Xiao Fang, who solemnly thanked Chen Tian before chasing after the Xianhe Sect members.

At this time, Chen Tian was not in a hurry to leave. He still stayed in place, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, as if he was planning something.

According to Chen Tian's original plan, he was going to the Haomiao Sect next to collect the spiritual veins contained within.

However, after hearing that the Xianhe Sect members were going to the Chaoyun Sect, Chen Tian suddenly changed his mind, because it was very coincidental that the Chaoyun Sect was also one of Chen Tian's destinations on this trip!

It is said that within the Chaoyun Sect, there is an extremely hidden spiritual vein that contains vast spiritual power. It is by relying on this spiritual vein that the Chaoyun Sect's strength has rapidly grown, becoming one of the leading sects on the northern border in less than three thousand years.

It is said that other sects have also taken a fancy to this spiritual vein and planned to offer ten immortal treasures and one billion immortal crystal stones in exchange for it.

However, as soon as the offer was made, it was flatly rejected by Sect Leader Xu Chang of the Chaoyun Sect, without even giving the other party a chance to bargain.

This shows that the value of this spiritual vein in the Chaoyun Sect is far higher than one billion immortal crystal stones, and it also confirms from the side that the spiritual energy within is extremely abundant.

Originally, Chen Tian planned to put this spiritual vein last, but he didn't expect that plans could not keep up with changes. In this desolate mountain forest, Chen Tian unexpectedly met the Xiao brothers, Xiao Fang and Xiao Ling'er, whom he had met once hundreds of years ago.

And their destination on this trip turned out to be this Chaoyun Sect!

… …

Indeed, as the old man said, after the Bingfeng Demon Region and the Demon God Gate reached a unified front, the situation on the Qianyuan Continent had undergone earth-shattering changes.

In the past, demon cultivators were like rats crossing the street. They would even walk stealthily, fearing that they would be discovered by the Cultivation Alliance and die tragically in the streets. But now, demon cultivators are very different. With the support of the Demon God Gate, Chen Tian could see many demon cultivators everywhere, forming groups of three or five, arrogantly wandering around. Whenever they discovered traces of cultivators, these demon cultivators would swarm up and kill them. This huge contrast was truly astonishing.

Just now, Chen Tian and the Xianhe Sect and others had just flown less than a hundred miles away when they had already encountered no less than five batches of demon and monster coalition forces targeting them.

However, the strength of these demon and monster coalition forces was not strong. After sensing the powerful aura of Chen Tian that looked down on the world, these demon and monster coalition forces were frightened and ran back with their tails between their legs. Chen Tian was too lazy to pay attention to these people and continued to fly forward with the Xianhe Sect members.

However, when the forest grows large, all kinds of birds appear. Although most of the demon and monster coalition forces retreated very sensibly after sensing Chen Tian's strength, there were still some ignorant demon cultivators and demon clan people who seemed to not believe in evil and rushed forward with a stiff head.

For these people, Chen Tian didn't have such a good temper. With a wave of his hand, he released thousands of golden sword lights, and while these demon cultivators and demon clan people were still deeply in fear, he killed them all. He didn't even give them a chance to regret it.

Of course, the stronger Chen Tian's strength was, the more excited the Xianhe Sect members became. After all, with his protection, the journey ahead would become less dangerous.

So, under the leadership of the Sect Leader of the Xianhe Sect and with Chen Tian's protection, the group sped up and rushed towards the Chaoyun Sect.

However, at this time, they had not yet realized that the Chaoyun Sect, which everyone longed for, was also facing a huge crisis at this time!
