Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

This red-haired old man was none other than the Sect Master of the Vast Ocean Sect, named Gao Liushan.

This Gao Liushan could also be considered a hero of his generation. When he took over as the Sect Master of the Vast Ocean Sect, it was a poverty-stricken and fragmented sect on the verge of collapse.

However, after Gao Liushan took office, he worked hard to govern, reformed and innovated, and finally, through a series of measures, gradually made the Vast Ocean Sect prosperous.

Not only was he capable, but Gao Liushan also treated his disciples with deep affection. From the elders of the sect to the newly initiated disciples, all respected Gao Liushan.

Today, Gao Liushan was originally presiding over a sect meeting, but in the middle of it, he suddenly felt a sense of unease. After calculating with his fingers, he realized that Gao Feng and others had encountered a major crisis while hunting at sea.

This unexpected situation immediately shocked Gao Liushan. He immediately suspended the meeting and sent out five groups of soldiers from various directions to rescue Gao Feng. As for himself, he led hundreds of people from the Vast Ocean Sect to wait at the pier, hoping for everyone's safe return.

Therefore, when he saw Gao Feng and others returning safely at this time, Gao Liushan was overjoyed and hurried to greet them, asking with concern.

"Senior Brother, Junior Brother is incompetent and has caused you to worry. But don't worry, we are all fine." Seeing Gao Liushan and other Vast Ocean Sect disciples looking so concerned, Gao Feng immediately felt a surge of warmth, which touched his heart and almost brought him to tears.

"Good! Good! As long as everyone is safe, I can rest assured." After carefully examining Gao Feng up and down, confirming that he was not injured, Gao Liushan was relieved, patted Gao Feng's arm, and laughed.

From these few words, it can be seen that Gao Liushan is a straightforward person.

"Oh, Third Junior Brother, who is this gentleman?"

After exchanging greetings with Gao Feng, Gao Liushan noticed Chen Tian, who was standing beside the crowd but remained silent. Surprised, he asked with doubt.

"Oh, Senior Brother, I was just about to introduce him to you!" Hearing Gao Liushan's words, Gao Feng immediately walked to Chen Tian's side and said with a smile, "Today, we encountered a huge crisis at sea and almost died. It was this senior who happened to pass by and saved us."

Then, Gao Feng recounted in detail to Gao Liushan and other Vast Ocean Sect disciples what had happened today.

When he talked about how cunning the Wind Spirit Whale was and how fierce the Level Seven Monster Beast Great King Squid was, everyone seemed to be in the situation, and they were frightened into a cold sweat.

And when he talked about how Chen Tian appeared in the critical moment, and how he used various thunderous methods to kill the Wind Spirit Whale and the Great King Squid, saving them, everyone's faces showed a strong look of worship, and their eyes looking at Chen Tian became even more fervent.

"Oh, so it was this senior who saved Third Junior Brother. This great kindness, our Vast Ocean Sect will never forget! Please accept a bow from this old man!"

After listening to Gao Feng's account, Gao Liushan also understood the whole story. So he immediately bowed to Chen Tian to show his gratitude!

"Fellow Daoist, please rise quickly. Helping those in need and rescuing those in danger is everyone's duty. I just happened to pass by and did a small favor. Fellow Daoist, you don't need to be so polite." Seeing this, Chen Tian quickly stepped forward and helped Gao Liushan up.

"Hey, how can this be!" Facing Chen Tian's politeness, Gao Liushan refused, his expression serious, "Although our Vast Ocean Sect is small and poor, we also know the principle of repaying a drop of water with a spring. Senior saved my Third Junior Brother and others, which is a great favor to our Vast Ocean Sect. We must repay this kindness!"

Saying that, Gao Liushan ignored Chen Tian's objection and immediately turned to the crowd behind him and ordered, "Hurry up and clean up the 'Reception Pavilion'. Today I want to solemnly entertain the great benefactor of our Vast Ocean Sect!"

Hearing this order, the Vast Ocean Sect did not dare to delay and quickly responded before retreating to decorate the Reception Pavilion.

"Senior, please come with me." At this time, Gao Liushan's face was full of smiles, and he made an inviting gesture to Chen Tian.

"Since Fellow Daoist is so enthusiastic, if I refuse again, then I would really be ignorant! Fine, then I will bother you today." Facing Gao Liushan's grand invitation, Chen Tian did not refuse any further. After exchanging pleasantries, he followed him to the Reception Pavilion on the island.

It must be said that the houses of the Vast Ocean Sect are very distinctive. Unlike the Qian Yuan Continent, which likes to use giant trees and blue tiles, the houses here are all built with nearby coral stones.

The coral stones in this South Coral Sea are extremely bright in color. Using them to build houses makes all the houses appear fiery red. Under the moonlight, they are even dazzling.

When they arrived at the Reception Pavilion, the wine and dishes were already prepared. Because they were located in the sea, the dishes used to entertain Chen Tian were all made from sea monster beasts captured from the nearby sea.

Although these dishes can also be called 'seafood', they are more delicious than the seafood salvaged on land. In addition, the meat contains spiritual energy, so even if cultivators eat it, it will not produce any adverse consequences.

And the pot of wine is even more exquisite. According to Gao Liushan's introduction, this wine, called 'Red Poppy', is brewed with more than a thousand kinds of spiritual herbs that only grow on the seabed of a thousand feet. The wine naturally contains vast spiritual power and has a mellow taste. It is what the Vast Ocean Sect uses to entertain the most distinguished guests.

That is to say, Chen Tian at this time has completely become a distinguished guest of the Vast Ocean Sect.

The moon rose to the middle of the sky, and the wine flowed through three rounds!

After some eating, drinking, and exchanging pleasantries, the crowd gradually dispersed in a warm atmosphere. Gao Feng originally wanted to pester Chen Tian for a while longer, but under Gao Liushan's knowing glance, he could only reluctantly bid farewell and retreat.

At this point, only Chen Tian and Gao Liushan were left in the originally lively hall.

"Alright, Senior, there are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, please tell me!"

After everyone had retreated, the smile on Gao Liushan's face suddenly disappeared. In his pupils, a hint of wisdom and shrewdness flickered.

"Oh, are you so sure that I have something to say to you?" Looking at Gao Liushan, who seemed to have changed into a different person, Chen Tian's smile did not diminish, and his expression was playful.

"Haha, no matter what, this old man can be considered the master of a sect, and I have seen countless people and things, so Senior, please don't hide it from me anymore."

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Gao Liushan laughed heartily. Then, he picked up the wine pot and poured another cup of 'Red Poppy' for Chen Tian. His face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what is the purpose of your coming to my Vast Ocean Sect from thousands of miles away?"
