Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Seeing Old Man Yang's astonished expression, Chen Tian frowned slightly and asked softly.

"Oh, it's nothing. Please take your time, young master. This old man will take his leave now." Although surprised, Old Man Yang didn't dwell on it too much. After bidding farewell, he happily took the fifty taels of silver he received from Chen Tian and went back.

Thus, the bustling street market that was lively during the day was now left with only Chen Tian!

Just then, Chen Tian, who had been sitting for an entire day, suddenly stood up, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and seemed to mutter to himself, "The guests should be arriving soon, right?"

"Sect Leader of the Frozen Sand Sect... Gou Hongyu, arrives!"

"Sect Leader of the Rice River Gate... Quan Puyu, arrives!"

"Sect Leader of the Purple Mist Sect... Sikou Jiashu, arrives!"

"Valley Master of the Tai Xu Valley... Yue Xiuqi, arrives!"

...

As if responding to Chen Tian, as soon as he finished speaking, a series of loud voices suddenly echoed in the silent night sky.

Immediately afterward, streams of colorful light poured down from the sky, illuminating the small tea shed. Looking up, one could see many cultivators walking through the air, shoulder to shoulder, and the ethereal sounds of immortal music and the chime of bells and drums echoed endlessly.

These people were all cultivators living nearby, and they were all leaders of the major sects. The reason they had joined hands to come to this inconspicuous street market at this time was not for anything else, but to pay their respects to Chen Tian!

Before long, hundreds of cultivators above the Transformation Spring Realm walked out of the void, with ten experts in the Coagulation Sea Realm at the forefront.

As soon as they arrived in front of Chen Tian, they immediately knelt down and shouted in unison, "We congratulate you, Daoist friend, on building the Heavenly Dao and achieving great success! From now on, may you live as long as the heavens and your name resound for thousands of miles!"

It turned out that according to the rules of the cultivation world, whenever someone broke through to the Heavenly Foundation Realm, all the nearby sects would have to send people to congratulate them.

These people had sensed Chen Tian's aura and hurriedly rushed over from their respective sects.

After all, a Heavenly Foundation Realm expert had boundless magical power. If he wanted to, he could burn tens of thousands of miles into ashes with a single finger, leaving no grass growing. Of course, they understood this principle and did not dare to neglect it, so they prepared generous gifts and rushed to the place where Chen Tian was.

Of course, there was a second reason why everyone was so respectful to Chen Tian. That was because on the day Chen Tian had just broken through to the Heavenly Foundation Realm, they had also sensed the aura of another Heavenly Foundation Realm expert, and even that person's aura was even more profound than Chen Tian's.

Then, there was a battle that was enough to shake the heavens and the earth. Chen Tian actually fought with that Heavenly Foundation Realm expert.

The only reason for this result was that this Heavenly Foundation Realm expert had already met with misfortune!

After realizing this, the hearts of all the cultivators who were watching the battle were deeply touched.

It should be known that Chen Tian had only just broken through to the Heavenly Foundation Realm, at most the early stage of the Heavenly Foundation Realm. However, with such strength, he had killed a mid-stage Heavenly Foundation Realm expert. Such an ending shocked everyone.

It was precisely because of this that these sect leaders living nearby rushed over with a large number of gifts, because Chen Tian's strength had far exceeded their imagination and they could not afford to offend him.

"Senior, in order to congratulate you on achieving the Great Dao, my Frozen Sand Sect has prepared some meager gifts, and I hope you will accept them with a smile." At this time, Gou Hongyu, the sect leader of the Frozen Sand Sect, who was the first to arrive here, walked forward with a flattering expression and his two disciples, carrying a box.

Although he said meager gifts, this gift was indeed not light. It contained ten top-grade immortal pills, five million immortal crystal stones, and countless natural treasures.

It should be known that the Frozen Sand Sect was not large in scale, only a medium-sized sect, and the gift offered by Gou Hongyu had already accounted for one-fifth of their Frozen Sand Sect's treasury. It could be said to be an extremely generous gift.

"Senior, our Rice River Gate has also prepared some small gifts, and I hope you will accept them."

"Yes, and our Purple Mist Sect also has gifts to give to Senior!"

At this time, the leaders of the other sects also stepped forward, vying to bring out the gifts they had brought, in order to please Chen Tian.

After all, if they could get involved with a Heavenly Foundation Realm expert, then they would be considered to have embraced a big tree. Even if they could not rise to prominence, it would be good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

With this in mind, everyone swarmed towards Chen Tian.

"Huh?"

However, at this moment, Jia Yan, who was standing beside Chen Tian, suddenly flashed out from behind Chen Tian, blocking in front of everyone, like a door god, blocking everyone three feet away.

"Master... are... they... your... guests?"

With the growth of his strength, Jia Yan gradually opened some intelligence, but even so, he still spoke intermittently, like a child learning to speak, which could not help but make people smile.

However, at this time, Chen Tian's face was still expressionless, not even looking at everyone, just staring at the moon in the sky and shaking his head, "No, the guests I'm waiting for haven't arrived yet!"

"I... understand..."

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Jia Yan seemed to have realized something. He glared at everyone, and then said in a cold tone, "You... step back... otherwise... die!"

Jia Yan's fierce face, coupled with his cold words, immediately frightened everyone and made them retreat backward.

Chen Tian remained indifferent to all of this, just looking up at the bright moon in the night sky.

"Hey, do you think this senior's temper is a bit too strange?"

The crowd's enthusiasm disappeared instantly when their warm faces met a cold shoulder. The gazes they cast at Chen Tian became even more puzzled.

Although it is said that the higher the cultivation, the more eccentric their temper, but it is rare to see someone as strange as Chen Tian.

At the same time, what made them even more curious was, if Chen Tian's waiting guests were not them, then who on earth were they?

"Envoy of the Frozen Demon Realm... Song Lin, has come to pay respects!"

Just as everyone was feeling surprised, a high-pitched voice echoed again from above their heads.

Upon hearing this voice, those who were originally indignant at Chen Tian's rude behavior were all speechless in an instant!
