Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Standing on a hillside outside Jicheng, Chen Tian gazed into the distance at Jicheng below the mountain.

Jicheng was indeed incredibly vast, filled with pavilions, terraces, towers, and winding corridors, a dazzling sight.

When Chen Tian was young, he had traveled to many places with Xiaolong, but he had never seen such a luxurious city before.

However, Chen Tian was clearly not here for sightseeing; he had something to do in Jicheng.

Chen Tian pondered for a moment, then flipped his hand, and a crystal-clear round pearl with a faint blue light appeared in his hand.

Looking at the blue pearl, Chen Tian couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Because this blue pearl was the Wind Spirit Pearl that Ji Tianyi had entrusted him to bring back to the Ji family.

"This is the last thing I can do for Senior Brother Ji; I must deliver this Wind Spirit Pearl to the hands of the Ji family."

After thinking this in his heart, Chen Tian led Jia Yan and continued speeding towards Jicheng.

But just as they were about to approach Jicheng, a huge circular magic array suddenly appeared in the sky above Jicheng, and an incredibly terrifying pressure emanated from it, attacking Chen Tian.

Chen Tian immediately felt an immense weight on his body, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

Chen Tian turned back to look at Jia Yan and found that his movements had also slowed down a lot, as if he was struggling to resist the pressure.

Seeing this, Chen Tian's face darkened, and he didn't continue flying, but instead landed on the ground with Jia Yan.

And as soon as they stood firm on the ground, the pressure on them disappeared instantly, and the circular magic array in the sky also disappeared again.

Chen Tian touched his chin and, after a moment's thought, suddenly understood.

If he guessed correctly, the circular magic array just now should be a no-fly formation, used to restrict cultivators from flying in the sky above Jicheng.

"As expected of a major cultivation city, what an arrogant attitude!"

Chen Tian chuckled lightly, then led Jia Yan towards the gate of Jicheng on foot.

After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do; Chen Tian could only follow their rules.

Fortunately, it was already very close to Jicheng; Chen Tian hadn't walked far when a ten-zhang-high city wall came into view.

This city wall was also built with great momentum, surrounding the entire Jicheng like an iron barrel, with only a three-zhang-high city gate in the middle for pedestrians to pass through.

At the same time, six or seven disciples dressed in red robes stood at the city gate, supervising the passing crowd.

The reason why Chen Tian was interested in them was because these people were all cultivators, but their cultivation was not high; the highest was at the fifth level of the Qi Refining stage, and the rest were at the second or third, third or fourth levels, and so on.

In fact, these people had another identity, which was that of guiding disciples.

As a well-known major cultivation city, Jicheng attracted many cultivators from all directions every day, in addition to ordinary people.

Some set up stalls in Jicheng to trade, and some gathered in groups of three or five to chat about their cultivation experiences, so it could be said that Jicheng was a cultivation center city.

In order not to neglect these cultivators, some guiding disciples like these would stand at the city gate of Jicheng.

As long as you were a cultivator, you could reveal your identity and enter Jicheng directly without queuing, and there were also free inns available for resting.

Previously, the Ji family was responsible for arranging the guiding disciples, but after the Ji family was destroyed, the Pan family took over.

In fact, this was also a kind of honor for the Pan family, after all, it represented their status as the host of Jicheng.

When Chen Tian arrived here, he found that two queues had already formed on the left and right.

The queue on the left was very long, with no end in sight, while the queue on the right was sparse and empty.

The left side was of course for ordinary mortals; if they wanted to enter the city, they not only had to queue for a long time, but also had to pay some city entry fees.

The right side was the exclusive passage for cultivators; they not only didn't have to queue, but also had special personnel to guide them in, and their attitude was very kind.

"He can actually fly under the no-fly formation?"

Chen Tian was surprised in his heart after seeing this, and secretly scanned him with his spiritual sense, but the result made him immediately horrified.

The person was about forty years old, dressed in brocade robes, with a stern expression, and had actually reached the Spirit Gathering stage!

Seeing this, Chen Tian suddenly understood that the no-fly formation in the sky was only effective for cultivators below the Spirit Guidance stage, and had no effect on those above the Spirit Gathering stage.

Just as Chen Tian was thinking wildly, the man had already arrived at the city gate, but he didn't slow down at all, his body flew past like a long rainbow at a very high speed, stirring up a strong gust of wind, blowing the mortals queuing here and those low-level guiding disciples all over the place.

Although Chen Tian was not affected, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This is the benefit of strength, being able to travel unhindered and without any scruples!

Thinking of this, a strange color flashed in Chen Tian's eyes.

The queue was moving forward in an orderly manner, and after Chen Tian and Jia Yan waited for half an hour, they were finally able to pay a tael of silver and enter Jicheng.

To be honest, it wouldn't have mattered if Chen Tian didn't come to Jicheng, but he always felt that there was a thread of fate between himself and Ji Tianyi.

If he didn't end this fate, then he wouldn't be able to calm down and cultivate.

After breaking through the Spirit Guidance stage, it was no longer just about accumulating spiritual power, but also about comprehending the laws of heaven and earth in order to continue moving forward.

Chen Tian had promised Ji Tianyi to help him bring the Wind Spirit Pearl to the Ji family, and this had invisibly planted a cause and effect.

Chen Tian could only fulfill this promise in order to eliminate the cause and effect, otherwise, it would be extremely easy to become possessed in later cultivation.

Therefore, Chen Tian had to come to Jicheng.

Before arriving in Jicheng, Chen Tian had already inquired about the location of the Ji family, so Chen Tian didn't hesitate and immediately led Jia Yan forward.

The location of the Ji family was very easy to find, because as the former number one cultivation family, the Ji family was built in the very center of Jicheng.

Chen Tian didn't spend too much effort to find the Ji family.

But as soon as Chen Tian saw the current Ji family, he was immediately shocked!
