Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Seeing this scene, the Mad Old Man and Immortal Lord Ziwei were stunned. They couldn't understand what was happening. Only Ji Ao in the distance had a faint smile on his face!

"From this moment on, you officially shed your mortal form and return to your ancestral dragon form. Now, come back!" After playing with the huge emerald-eyed viper in front of him—no, it should be the Emerald-Eyed True Dragon—Chen Tian smiled indifferently and said to it.

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the Emerald-Eyed True Dragon let out a long cry. Immediately afterward, its enormous body, over two thousand feet long, rapidly shrank in an instant, turning into a stream of light that flew back to Chen Tian. As before, it coiled around Chen Tian's neck, appearing intimately close.

Seeing this, the Mad Old Man and Lord Liaohua exchanged glances, their faces filled with deep doubt. Immediately afterward, they hurriedly flew towards Chen Tian.

The Mad Old Man glanced at the harmonious scene of the man and the dragon getting along and couldn't help but ask, "Chen Tian, what exactly is going on here?"

Immortal Lord Ziwei, standing to the side, took a few steps forward, cocking his ear, seemingly wanting to hear the reason as well.

Looking at everyone's surprised expressions, Chen Tian smiled and said calmly, "Actually, it's nothing much. After returning, my demon pet has been in a deep sleep. After it woke up, it suddenly regained its memories. To be honest, I'm a little confused myself."

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the Mad Old Man and Lord Liaohua didn't suspect anything. On the contrary, they were genuinely happy for Chen Tian.

After all, with the Emerald-Eyed Viper transforming into the Emerald-Eyed True Dragon, Chen Tian's strength would be greatly enhanced!

However, unlike the Mad Old Man and Lord Liaohua's joyful expressions, Immortal Lord Ziwei's face remained clouded after hearing Chen Tian's explanation.

Because unlike the Mad Old Man and the others, he could naturally see that the aura emanating from the Emerald-Eyed True Dragon at this moment was the aura of a king among the dragons.

Furthermore, compared to when it had just transformed into a dragon in the Dragon Transformation Pool, the Emerald-Eyed True Dragon's strength had greatly improved!

Therefore, Immortal Lord Ziwei knew that these were not coincidences, but that there was some unknown secret behind it!

Thinking of this, Immortal Lord Ziwei's eyes flickered, and he looked at Chen Tian in the distance again.

He saw Chen Tian wearing a joyous expression, chatting enthusiastically with the Mad Old Man and Lord Liaohua. As for the Emerald-Eyed True Dragon, it was coiled around his neck obediently, everything looking extremely harmonious.

"Hmph!"

However, unlike the harmonious atmosphere on Chen Tian's side, Immortal Lord Ziwei snorted coldly in secret after seeing this scene, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face.

Of course, before long, Immortal Lord Ziwei put away the strange expression on his face and walked to Chen Tian with a smile, complimenting him, "It's truly a great thing that Fellow Daoist Chen's demon pet has recovered as before. Congratulations!"

"The fact that my demon pet could recover so quickly is also thanks to the senior's efforts. So, to be honest, this junior should thank the senior!" Facing Immortal Lord Ziwei's compliment, Chen Tian cupped his hands and returned the greeting with a smile.

Immortal Lord Ziwei nodded lightly after hearing this, but just then, he seemed to have thought of something again and suddenly said, "By the way, since Fellow Daoist Chen's demon pet is fine now, should we bring forward our plan to go to the Ancient Immortal Realm? How about this, I think we should set off tomorrow. What do you think?"

"Tomorrow? So soon?"

As soon as Immortal Lord Ziwei said this, the Mad Old Man and Lord Liaohua were greatly surprised. They really didn't expect that Immortal Lord Ziwei, who had always been slow and methodical, would make such an urgent decision at this time, which made them feel a little puzzled.

"Tomorrow it is then! Senior, you can make all the decisions." However, after hearing this, Chen Tian's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly.

"Very good!" Immortal Lord Ziwei nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, "Then it's settled. Fellow Daoist Chen, you should rest well tonight, and we'll set off tomorrow morning."

With that, Immortal Lord Ziwei chatted with Chen Tian for a few more words, then bid farewell to everyone and left.

"Kid, isn't setting off tomorrow a bit too rushed?" After Immortal Lord Ziwei left, the Mad Old Man said to Chen Tian worriedly.

"Master, don't worry, your disciple knows what he's doing!" However, at this time, Chen Tian still had a faint smile on his face, comforting the Mad Old Man.

"This…"

After hearing this, the Mad Old Man seemed to feel uneasy and wanted to say something again, but before he could open his mouth, Chen Tian interrupted, "Alright, Master, don't say anymore. You've always protected your disciple before, but this time, it's your disciple's turn to protect you. Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely not let anything happen to you. Just trust me."

At this time, Chen Tian's face showed an incomparably firm expression. After seeing this, the Mad Old Man's heart couldn't help but tremble. After a long while, he smiled bitterly as if mocking himself, "Alright, the disciple has grown up, it seems that this old man can't control him anymore."

When he said this, a trace of vicissitudes could not help but appear on the Mad Old Man's face.

Seeing this, Chen Tian wanted to say something more, but the words came to his mouth, but he stopped abruptly, saying nothing, just bowing deeply to the Mad Old Man.

Seeing Chen Tian's actions, the Mad Old Man sighed helplessly, and then flew away with Lord Liaohua.

"Sigh…"

Only after the Mad Old Man left did Chen Tian straighten up again, but at this moment, the sadness on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by an extremely firm belief!

"They've all left, you can come out now!"

At this time, Chen Tian put his hands behind his back and said coldly towards the distance with a blank expression.

Just as Chen Tian's voice fell, a figure wearing a red robe suddenly appeared from behind a towering ancient tree not far in front of him. It was Ji Ao!

"Chen Tian, how have you considered the matter from before?" As soon as Ji Ao appeared, he didn't waste any words and immediately asked Chen Tian this question.

He looked anxious, as if he was eagerly awaiting Chen Tian's reply!
