Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

At the same time, within this enormous pipe, powerful gusts of wind howled out, rushing towards the group with violent force.

Although Chen Tian and the others all possessed the formidable strength of the Sky Building Realm, they instantly felt like withered leaves in autumn within this gale, unable to control their bodies and on the verge of being blown away.

The fierce whirlwind, like countless cicada-wing-thin blades, struck Chen Tian and the others, the blows against their cheeks causing a burning pain, and traces of fresh blood seeped from their skin.

At this moment, everyone, including Immortal Lord Ziwei, appeared extremely disheveled!

"Fellow Daoist Chen, what are you waiting for? Now is the time! Act quickly!"

Just then, Immortal Lord Ziwei, shielding himself from the wind with one hand, abruptly turned his head and roared at Chen Tian!

Hearing this, Chen Tian didn't hesitate. He bent two fingers, put them in his mouth, and let out a piercing whistle, as if summoning something.

"Roar!"

Before long, a resounding dragon's roar echoed out, and then, in the endless, dark storm, a giant dragon shimmering with dazzling golden light rushed towards them.

This dragon was naturally the Azure-Eyed True Dragon. Unlike Chen Tian and the others, who looked miserable, the Azure-Eyed True Dragon was unaffected by the violent winds around it. It wagged its head and tail, looking extremely relaxed. The razor-sharp wind blades that struck its body vanished as if they were mud sinking into the sea, instantly dispersed by its hard scales.

Thus, the Azure-Eyed True Dragon easily swam to the group's side.

Seeing this, Chen Tian, Immortal Lord Ziwei, Ji Ao, and the others exchanged glances, then moved without delay, leaping onto the Azure-Eyed True Dragon's back.

"Buzz..."

Just as Chen Tian and the others jumped on, the golden light on the Azure-Eyed True Dragon's body grew even brighter, eventually forming a circular shield that enveloped everyone.

Within this protective shield, the chaotic winds outside couldn't penetrate, only ghostly wind howls echoed in their ears.

Seeing this, the group, who had been in a panic, gradually calmed down. They looked at each other and found that everyone's clothes were torn in several places, and crimson blood soaked their garments, making them look like a complete mess.

"What powerful astral winds!"

At this moment, Ji Ao brushed the dust off his sleeves and looked at the raging turbulence outside the light shield, exclaiming in amazement.

Even Chen Tian couldn't help but frown, quickly pondering in his heart! After all, the first level of astral wind had already caused them so much suffering and made them look so miserable, so he couldn't imagine how terrifying the tenth level of astral wind would be.

"What, are you all afraid?"

Immortal Lord Ziwei naturally noticed the horrified expressions on everyone's faces. He chuckled and said to them, "If you're afraid, it's not too late to give up now."

"Immortal Lord, what are you saying? Since we've already made up our minds, how could we easily retreat! No matter what dangers lie ahead, I will definitely venture forth!"

As soon as Immortal Lord Ziwei finished speaking, Ji Ao immediately replied, his face no longer showing the previous panic, but a firm resolve.

Chen Tian couldn't help but nod in agreement. Indeed, it was a bad omen to be timid before even starting! Besides, Ji Ao was Chen Tian's greatest concern. No matter what, Chen Tian had to find him and destroy him completely. Only in this way could Chen Tian feel at ease, so he was determined to go to the Ancient Immortal Realm!

"Very good!"

Seeing the resolute expressions on Chen Tian and Ji Ao's faces, Immortal Lord Ziwei nodded in satisfaction. Then, he looked at Ji Ao and said, "Next, it's up to you to perform."

Hearing Immortal Lord Ziwei's words, Ji Ao seemed to understand. A red light flashed in his hand, and the Star Compass reappeared.

"Go!"

After shooting a stream of spiritual light into it, Ji Ao suddenly shouted, then threw the Star Compass into the sky.

At this moment, the red light on the Star Compass shone brightly, and before long, it exploded with a "bang", forming a huge array diagram containing the Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, and the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.

Seeing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but be slightly surprised, but what made him even more curious was that in the center of this huge array diagram, there was a constantly flashing golden light spot. Upon closer inspection, it could be found that this golden light spot was exactly where they were now.

"The Star Compass has locked onto the location, now we can set off," Ji Ao said, withdrawing his gaze and looking at Immortal Lord Ziwei.

"Good!"

Hearing this, Immortal Lord Ziwei's face revealed endless excitement. Then, he said to Chen Tian, "Fellow Daoist Chen, whether we can successfully reach the Ancient Immortal Realm this time depends entirely on the cooperation between you and Fellow Daoist Ji Ao. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Hearing this, Chen Tian temporarily suppressed the strangeness in his heart. After nodding slightly, he raised his right foot and gently kicked the Azure-Eyed True Dragon under him!

Feeling the message from Chen Tian, the Azure-Eyed True Dragon didn't hesitate at all. It let out a long roar and carried the group, facing the strong astral wind turbulence, going upstream along the pipe!

At the same time, Ji Ao continuously made hand seals, constantly shooting streams of spiritual light into the huge array diagram, so that the golden light spot representing the group always moved along a straight line, heading towards a cluster of brilliant stardust in the center.

After watching for a while, Chen Tian gradually understood the principle behind it.

Chen Tian guessed that the cluster of stardust was the destination they were going to... the Ancient Immortal Realm, and the golden light spot represented them. What Ji Ao was doing now was constantly urging the Star Compass to calculate the most accurate route, ensuring that the group could reach the Ancient Immortal Realm in the correct direction!

In other words, Chen Tian and Ji Ao, one controlling the Azure-Eyed True Dragon, and the other controlling the direction and route, had to cooperate with each other to overcome all kinds of dangers and reach the Ancient Immortal Realm!

Thinking of this, while controlling the Azure-Eyed True Dragon, Chen Tian looked at Immortal Lord Ziwei beside him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Immortal Lord Ziwei must have been planning for this trip for a long time! And his scheming should not be underestimated!
