Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Everyone looked up and saw a group of demonic cultivators wearing black robes with sun and moon patterns embroidered on their left and right sleeves, respectively, flying gracefully towards them.

Leading them was an extremely young man with a smiling face, striding forward.

This person was none other than Song Lin, who had previously introduced Chen Tian to the Demon Realm Ruins, and could be considered a good friend of Chen Tian!

“No wonder people look down on us. It turns out that the guest in this senior's mouth is actually from the Frozen Demon Realm!”

“It is said that Song Lin is a core disciple within the Frozen Demon Realm and holds an extremely high position. His personal arrival indicates that he must highly value this senior. Tsk tsk, this person's background must be extraordinary!”

Upon seeing this scene, the sect leaders were immediately amazed. They never expected that the Frozen Demon Realm would also send someone, and it was even the highly influential Song Lin!

What could be the connection between all of this?

After a moment of silent astonishment, everyone turned back to look in Chen Tian's direction.

“Master… this…”

Upon seeing Song Lin's arrival, Jia Yan frowned and looked at Chen Tian as if seeking his opinion.

“You don't need to stop him. No matter what, Daoist friend Song and I are acquaintances. You may step back!”

At this moment, Chen Tian dismissed Jia Yan and greeted Song Lin with a smile, cupping his hands and saying, “Daoist friend Song, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How have you been lately?”

“Haha, Daoist friend Chen, you still remember me! I am truly flattered!” Amidst hearty laughter, Song Lin also flew in front of Chen Tian and cupped his fists in return, saying, “A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked upon with new eyes. Congratulations to Daoist friend Chen for breaking through the Foundation Establishment Realm and achieving the Great Dao! Congratulations!”

To be honest, when the Frozen Demon Realm learned that Chen Tian had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Song Lin was actually very shocked. He never expected that in just a few years, Chen Tian, who was once weak, had become a regional overlord!

“Haha, Brother Song, you don't need to flatter me. You're not bad either. If I'm not mistaken, you've already cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Core Formation Realm, and you're only one step away from establishing your Dao, right?” Chen Tian smiled after glancing at Song Lin.

“Alas, Brother Chen, please don't make fun of me. How easy is it to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!” However, after hearing this, Song Lin could no longer smile and sighed inwardly.

In fact, it was quite embarrassing. As a core disciple of the Frozen Demon Realm, Song Lin had extremely abundant resources compared to others. However, even with the accumulation of countless resources, he was still one step behind Chen Tian.

In fact, Song Lin had tried to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm several times before, but all of them had failed.

Even with the full power of the Frozen Demon Realm, they were unable to help Song Lin break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, which shows how high the threshold of the Foundation Establishment Realm is.

At the same time, it also reflects how abnormal Chen Tian's cultivation speed is!

“Alas, alright, Brother Chen, let's not talk about this. Actually, I came this time on behalf of the Frozen Demon Realm to specifically congratulate you and have prepared some small gifts, hoping you will like them.”

Saying this, Song Lin turned his head and instructed the people behind him, “Bring the things up.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Frozen Demon Realm disciples who came with Song Lin carried a huge box forward.

“Brother Song, what's inside this?”

Chen Tian glanced at the huge box, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and asked Song Lin.

“Hehe, Brother Chen, you'll know after you open it.” However, Song Lin did not rush to answer at this time, but said to Chen Tian in a deliberately mysterious tone.

“Hmm?”

After hearing this, Chen Tian was surprised again, and then slowly stepped forward and opened the huge box.

“Buzz!”

“This… could it be the legendary Soul of the Immortal Beast?”

However, after just one glance, everyone exclaimed again, because they found that the box contained huge red orbs, as many as fifty.

Moreover, some people who recognized this object shouted out the name of these red orbs… 'Soul of the Immortal Beast'!

It turned out that these red orbs were not ordinary objects, but the souls within the bodies of the immortal beasts that lived in the Ancient Immortal Realm when it still existed.

Later, because the Ancient Immortal Realm collapsed, the immortal beasts within also died out, leaving only their souls wandering in the endless void.

These souls of immortal beasts are rare treasures for the current cultivation world. They can not only be used to improve the cultivation of cultivators, but also can be integrated into magical treasures to directly increase the level of the magical treasure, transforming it into an immortal treasure!

Therefore, in the cultivation world, the value of the soul of an immortal beast is extremely high. Usually, it is rare for people to see even one soul of an immortal beast, but they never expected that the Frozen Demon Realm would send out fifty souls of immortal beasts at once.

Such generosity made the gifts brought by others pale in comparison.

“Brother Chen, these souls of immortal beasts are what our Frozen Demon Realm spent tens of thousands of years collecting one by one from the vast void of tens of millions of miles in the Demon Realm Ruins. Bringing them this time is to congratulate Brother Chen on his breakthrough in cultivation! I hope Brother Chen can accept them with a smile.”

Saying this, Song Lin waved his hand, and the huge box full of souls of immortal beasts flew in front of Chen Tian.

“Brother Song, I think you should take them back. I really can't afford such a generous gift!”

Chen Tian glanced lightly at the box, but did not rush to accept it, but declined to Song Lin.

“Brother Chen, you don't need to be polite with me. This is just a small token of my appreciation. If you don't accept it, then I will really be angry.” Saying this, Song Lin really pretended to be angry.

“This… Alright, since Brother Song said so, then I will accept it without ceremony.”

Seeing Song Lin's persistence, Chen Tian no longer declined. After expressing his gratitude, he waved his sleeve and put the box full of souls of immortal beasts into his storage ring.

However, at this time, Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something again. He flipped his hand and took out a blue jade slip, handing it to Song Lin and saying, “It is impolite not to reciprocate. How about this, I will also give Brother Song something as a return gift.”

Saying this, Chen Tian raised his right hand, and the jade slip in his hand flew into Song Lin's hand.

Seeing this scene, Song Lin felt a little puzzled, so he put the jade slip on his forehead and carefully examined it. However, as soon as he clearly saw what was recorded in the jade slip, his body trembled suddenly, and his eyes showed a strong look of shock and joy.

After withdrawing his spiritual sense from the jade slip, Song Lin turned around and bowed deeply to Chen Tian, thanking him in an excited tone, “Brother Chen, I will always remember this kindness, and I will never forget it even if the heavens and earth collapse!”

“Eh?”

Looking at Song Lin's appearance, everyone present was immediately surprised again. They were all wondering what Chen Tian had given Song Lin that made this high-ranking core disciple of the Frozen Demon Realm so grateful?
