Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Looking at Ji Ao's mysterious expression, Chen Tian chuckled and nodded, saying, "Of course, I haven't forgotten!"

"Phew, that's good." Hearing Chen Tian's answer, Ji Ao seemed relieved and let out a long breath. Then, he lowered his voice and whispered in Chen Tian's ear, "That Ziwei Immortal Sovereign's strength is too profound. None of us are his match. So, after entering the Ancient Immortal Realm, only by joining forces can we contend against him! We won't have to fear Ziwei Immortal Sovereign's desire to kill and seize treasures anymore. This is a good thing for both of us."

"You're right. For our own benefit, of course, I will agree to join forces with you and will never go back on my word." Chen Tian nodded slightly after hearing this, but at that moment, a hint of hesitation suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "However, there is one thing that I am still a little worried about."

"Hmm?" Ji Ao frowned upon hearing Chen Tian's words, and asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Chen, what do you mean? What is it that you're worried about?"

"What I'm worried about, naturally, refers to him!" At this moment, Chen Tian turned around, his eagle-like, sharp gaze fixed on Duanmu Ya!

Seeing Chen Tian's actions, Ji Ao and Duanmu Ya were both greatly shocked. However, after regaining his senses, Duanmu Ya's heart seemed to be filled with immense anger, and he took a step forward, intending to charge towards Chen Tian.

"Step back!" However, at this moment, Ji Ao suddenly stood out and stopped the furious Duanmu Ya.

Seeing this, although Duanmu Ya was angry, he ultimately had no choice but to retreat behind the others, but his eyes remained fixed on Chen Tian.

At this time, the smile on Ji Ao's face also disappeared. He looked at Chen Tian with a gloomy expression and said in a沉 tone, "Fellow Daoist Chen, this Duanmu Ya is my subordinate and has always been respectful to me. I wonder, what is it about him that makes you feel uneasy?"

Obviously, Ji Ao's attitude was no longer as enthusiastic as before.

Looking at their unfriendly expressions, Chen Tian remained calm and composed, saying indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Ji, I can trust you, but I cannot trust this Duanmu Ya. After all, back in the Fallen Immortal Valley, he had already attempted to murder me several times. As the saying goes, 'Once bitten by a snake, one is afraid of ropes for ten years.' Now, looking at this rope, my heart is still filled with fear, so how can I trust him?"

"This..." Hearing Chen Tian's words, Ji Ao's expression suddenly faltered.

"What? Chen Tian, don't push your luck too far!" As soon as Chen Tian's request was made, Duanmu Ya began to tremble with anger.

Letting Chen Tian engrave a seal on his Primordial Spirit was equivalent to letting Chen Tian control his life and death!

How could Duanmu Ya easily accept this unreasonable request!

However, looking at the furious Duanmu Ya, Chen Tian just sneered disdainfully, then ignored him and looked at Ji Ao, asking, "Well, do you agree to my request?"

At this time, Ji Ao was also in a dilemma. Of course, he understood what Chen Tian's request meant for Duanmu Ya. Once Chen Tian really placed a restriction on his Primordial Spirit, then Duanmu Ya's life and death would be entirely at Chen Tian's discretion.

But if he didn't satisfy Chen Tian's request, Chen Tian would definitely become suspicious, which would also be a huge risk to their plan!

'What should I do?' At this moment, Ji Ao couldn't help but sink into thought.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Ao seemed to have finally made up his mind. He looked at Chen Tian with a firm gaze and nodded, saying, "Alright, I will satisfy your request and plant a restriction on Duanmu Ya's Primordial Spirit!"

"What? Lord Demon God, I..." As soon as Ji Ao said this, Duanmu Ya was so frightened that his face almost turned green.

However, just as he was about to protest, Ji Ao suddenly made a gesture, signaling him to be calm. Then, Ji Ao turned to Chen Tian and said, "Although I agree to plant a restriction on Duanmu Ya's Primordial Spirit, this restriction cannot be placed by you, but should be placed by me. Then, I will tell you the incantation to cast this restriction. Can you agree to this?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Ji Ao's additional explanation, Chen Tian was slightly surprised.

If Chen Tian were to plant the restriction, then Duanmu Ya's life and death would be entirely at Chen Tian's discretion.

But once the restriction was placed by Ji Ao, although he would tell Chen Tian the incantation to cast the restriction, it would ultimately need to be approved by Ji Ao before it could be activated!

In other words, the compromise proposed by Ji Ao was equivalent to adding a layer of protection to Duanmu Ya!

Thinking of this, Chen Tian couldn't help but ponder for a moment, but soon, he nodded and said, "Alright, let's do it your way."

Chen Tian's purpose was just to use a safe method to restrain Duanmu Ya, and he didn't want to push things too far, so he could barely accept the method proposed by Ji Ao.

However, on the other side, Duanmu Ya was still worried after hearing this, and looked at Ji Ao with a panicked expression.

After noticing Duanmu Ya's expression, Ji Ao suddenly smiled strangely and used a secret voice transmission to silently tell him, "Don't worry, I'm only doing this to temporarily deceive this kid. Later, when he lowers his guard, I will secretly undo the restriction for you. Don't panic!"

Ji Ao's words were like sweet nectar, making Duanmu Ya's heart blossom! Without much thought, Duanmu Ya nodded and said, "Alright, then I will accept this request too."

After both of them agreed, Ji Ao planted a powerful restriction on Duanmu Ya's Primordial Spirit, and at the same time, he told Chen Tian the method to cast this restriction!

At this point, this little storm came to an end.

At the same time, the huge cave they had entered earlier gradually reappeared before everyone's eyes!
