Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

At that time, Immortal Lord Ziwei's mind was blank, and his body held no strength. Although he had opened his eyes, he remained lying in this strange space for a full hundred thousand years!

For these hundred thousand years, Immortal Lord Ziwei pondered the same question every day... "Who am I?"

It wasn't until a hundred thousand years later that Immortal Lord Ziwei finally remembered his name. Immediately afterward, streams of power that originally belonged to him converged from all directions, finally giving him the strength to sit up from the cold ground.

Subsequently, the floodgates of memory opened a crack for Immortal Lord Ziwei, allowing him to recover some past memories.

However, the scenes of the ancient Immortal Realm's destruction were shrouded in a thick cloud, preventing Immortal Lord Ziwei from uncovering the truth, no matter how hard he tried! After tens of thousands of attempts, Immortal Lord Ziwei finally gave up in frustration.

From then on, Immortal Lord Ziwei also wanted to use this passage to return to the ancient Immortal Realm, but to his dismay, when the ancient Immortal Realm collapsed, this passage also suffered large-scale damage, making it impossible to open it in a normal way.

However, although he couldn't return to the ancient Immortal Realm from here, this passage was, after all, connected to the ancient Immortal Realm, so some items from within the ancient Immortal Realm would occasionally fall down through this conduit.

However, these items were mostly things like broken bricks and shattered tiles, reminding Immortal Lord Ziwei of the desolation within the ancient Immortal Realm.

Although reality was incredibly cruel, Immortal Lord Ziwei never forgot his desire to return to the ancient Immortal Realm. So, he established the Immortal Cultivation Alliance in the place where this passage was located and recruited a large number of capable subordinates to help him unify the entire Qian Yuan Continent in the shortest possible time.

Although Immortal Lord Ziwei conquered all the cultivators on the Qian Yuan Continent, his purpose was not to become a king or overlord. His true intention was to use the power of the entire cultivation world to gather methods that could allow him to return to the ancient Immortal Realm.

And it was during this time that Immortal Lord Ziwei, relying on the power of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, discovered Chen Tian!

Immortal Lord Ziwei first noticed Chen Tian thanks to the Venerables Red and Blue. At that time, they had just returned from the Brahma Sect and reported Chen Tian's extraordinary deeds within the Brahma Sect to Immortal Lord Ziwei.

After listening to the Venerables Red and Blue's descriptions, Immortal Lord Ziwei developed a slight interest in Chen Tian. However, because Chen Tian's strength was still too weak at that time, it didn't attract much attention from Immortal Lord Ziwei. He simply ordered the Immortal Cultivation Alliance to pay close attention to this person!

However, no one expected that Chen Tian's strength would grow so rapidly from then on, and his actions repeatedly exceeded Immortal Lord Ziwei's expectations. Especially the battle in the Demonic Ruins, which greatly changed Immortal Lord Ziwei's impression of Chen Tian. So, he then went all out to collect information about Chen Tian! And finally understood the secrets hidden within Chen Tian.

Knowing about the feud between Chen Tian and Jin Chi, Immortal Lord Ziwei was convinced that Chen Tian would be an important partner for him to resist this catastrophe. So, he sent the Venerables Red and Blue to invite Chen Tian to join the Immortal Cultivation Alliance.

But to his surprise, he didn't expect Chen Tian to be so stubborn, repeatedly rejecting his invitation and refusing to accept any benefits from the Immortal Cultivation Alliance.

Faced with this, Immortal Lord Ziwei was not annoyed. On the contrary, his interest in Chen Tian grew even stronger.

After that, Immortal Lord Ziwei no longer allowed the Venerables Red and Blue to disturb Chen Tian, but secretly, he had been paying attention to Chen Tian, because he wanted to see what level Chen Tian could grow to!

If possible, Immortal Lord Ziwei would not have been in such a hurry to meet Chen Tian, but all of this suddenly changed due to a small matter half a year ago!

Although the passage here could no longer be used, some items would fall down through this conduit every few days. Therefore, Immortal Lord Ziwei would come here every once in a while to check the items that fell from the ancient Immortal Realm, hoping to find a trace of the ancient Immortal Realm's collapse.

But one day half a year ago, when Immortal Lord Ziwei came here as usual to check the fallen objects, suddenly, a piece of gravel only one-third the size of a palm caught his attention!

This piece of gravel should have been a floor tile from a palace in the ancient Immortal Realm. Because when the ancient Immortal Realm collapsed, that palace also collapsed, which caused this piece of gravel to float aimlessly in the void. And, not knowing what happened, it was captured by the suction force in this passage, which caused it to fall down from the ancient Immortal Realm along the conduit.

Logically speaking, Immortal Lord Ziwei had collected a basketful of similar gravel over the years and should have become accustomed to it.

But the moment Immortal Lord Ziwei saw this piece of gravel, his pupils suddenly dilated, revealing a strong look of shock! It turned out that Immortal Lord Ziwei discovered that in addition to the aura from the ancient Immortal Realm, this seemingly ordinary piece of gravel also contained a trace of a peculiar aura!

That's right, this aura was from Jin Chi!

Although he felt very incredible, Immortal Lord Ziwei felt that just a piece of gravel was not enough to explain anything. But what he never expected was that what happened next exceeded his imagination!

After that, every three days, a batch of broken bricks and tiles would fall from this passage, and these gravel fragments all contained a trace of Jin Chi's aura!

Faced with so much evidence, it was already pale and weak to explain it with the word 'coincidence'. So, Immortal Lord Ziwei concluded that Jin Chi's true form might be hiding above the ancient Immortal Realm!

After thinking of this, Immortal Lord Ziwei felt a faint unease in his heart. So, he hurriedly calculated a divination and found that Chen Tian was facing a huge crisis. Therefore, he rushed over in a hurry and saved Chen Tian in the midst of the danger!

"The whole story is like this. As for what happened after, I don't need to go into details, right?" After telling everyone everything, Immortal Lord Ziwei suddenly sighed and said with a wry smile.

As for Chen Tian and the others, they were all like wooden men at this time, staring wide-eyed and stunned in place, as if they were still deeply immersed in Immortal Lord Ziwei's words just now.

They never expected that Jin Chi's true form would be hidden in the ancient Immortal Realm! If Immortal Lord Ziwei hadn't reminded them, they probably wouldn't have thought of this even if they broke their heads!

After all, how could a normal person guess that Jin Chi's hiding place would be such a hidden place?

"Immortal Lord, are you deceiving me with lies?" After a moment of silence, Old Freak suddenly frowned and said. Obviously, this matter was too strange, and he still refused to believe it.

Immortal Lord Ziwei smiled wryly after hearing this, and just as he was about to answer, suddenly, the passage in front of everyone, which was covered with runes, strangely shone with bursts of strange light!
