Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Ji Ao was a clever man. From beginning to end, he never believed that Jin Chi would let him off so easily. Therefore, although he verbally agreed to Immortal Lord Ziwei's proposal, he was secretly on guard.

And the truth was indeed as he had expected. After finding him, Immortal Lord Ziwei actually hooked up with Duanmu Ya and promised that after killing Ji Ao and Chen Tian, he would support him in becoming the Supreme of the Demon Clan, thus ranking below Jin Chi and enjoying supreme glory.

What kind of person was Duanmu Ya? Ji Ao naturally knew very well. As expected, after being lured by Immortal Lord Ziwei, he immediately agreed and made an agreement that the day Chen Tian died would also be the anniversary of Ji Ao's death!

To be honest, when Ji Ao discovered all of this, he was very heartbroken. Considering Duanmu Ya's contributions over the years, he had given Duanmu Ya many opportunities, hoping that he would turn back.

However, to Ji Ao's great disappointment, under the attraction of huge temptation, Duanmu Ya was completely blinded by greed. He turned a blind eye to Ji Ao's repeated hints and metaphors, and the fierce light in his eyes towards Ji Ao became more and more intense!

After confirming that Duanmu Ya was indeed hopeless, Ji Ao finally hardened his heart and decided to kill him.

After all, Ji Ao's belief was that he would rather betray the world than allow the world to betray him! A mere Duanmu Ya was not worth pitying in his eyes!

After deciding this, Ji Ao began his next strategy. First, Ji Ao did not immediately break face with Immortal Lord Ziwei. Instead, he pretended to agree while quickly thinking about a solution in his heart.

Ji Ao knew that Immortal Lord Ziwei and Jin Chi combined were too powerful. With his strength alone, he would definitely not be able to compete with them. Therefore, Ji Ao had to find a helper.

However, due to Duanmu Ya's betrayal, Ji Ao's every move was under the surveillance of Immortal Lord Ziwei. Therefore, seeking help from outside was undoubtedly a pipe dream!

To not arouse suspicion from Immortal Lord Ziwei and others, and also to find a helper with comparable strength! This was indeed a difficult task!

For this matter, Ji Ao fell into deep trouble.

After thinking hard for a long time, Ji Ao finally thought of someone who might be able to help him!

And this person was Chen Tian!

There was a reason why Ji Ao set his sights on Chen Tian.

First of all, like Ji Ao, Chen Tian was also a major concern that Immortal Lord Ziwei and Jin Chi were eager to eliminate. Moreover, since Ji Ao had not yet broken face with Immortal Lord Ziwei at that time, as an ally, Ji Ao could legitimately approach Chen Tian without arousing any suspicion.

After all, many times, Ji Ao was acting on Immortal Lord Ziwei's orders, using the excuse of completing tasks to contact Chen Tian openly. This greatly improved the convenience of Ji Ao's actions!

Secondly, and most importantly, after breaking through the late stage of the Sky Building Realm and fusing the incarnations of the Immortal, Demon, and Monster races, Chen Tian's strength had become strong enough to rival Ji Ao.

It was precisely because of this that Ji Ao finally made up his mind to form an alliance with Chen Tian! After all, whether or not the entire plan could be completed and escape death, strength was the most important factor.

The fact that Ji Ao could find Chen Tian also showed that Chen Tian had gained his approval at this time.

With the target locked, the next thing to do was naturally to contact Chen Tian secretly and discuss a series of plans.

However, what troubled Ji Ao was that after arriving at Ziwei Mountain, Immortal Lord Ziwei kept him under strict supervision, and there was no chance for him to approach Chen Tian at all.

Seeing the time passing day by day, if he continued to wait, he would only be waiting for death.

After some thought, Ji Ao finally decided to take the initiative. He offered a plan to Immortal Lord Ziwei. In order to be foolproof, he suggested that he approach Chen Tian himself to gain Chen Tian's trust, so that after ascending to the Ancient Immortal Realm, he could cooperate with Immortal Lord Ziwei from the inside and outside to kill Chen Tian!

At that time, Immortal Lord Ziwei, in order to claim credit in front of Jin Chi, did not think much and agreed to Ji Ao's plan.

After obtaining Immortal Lord Ziwei's consent, Ji Ao breathed a sigh of relief. Therefore, without any delay, he immediately went to meet Chen Tian under the pretext of being able to save the Green-Eyed True Dragon.

However, to Ji Ao's dismay, things were not as simple as he had imagined.

During the first meeting with Chen Tian, after telling Chen Tian all about Immortal Lord Ziwei's conspiracy and his willingness to form an alliance with him, Ji Ao originally thought that Chen Tian would definitely agree, but he never expected that Chen Tian would flatly reject him.

However, after experiencing Ji Ao's incident, Chen Tian gradually abandoned his subjective thoughts and used a third-person perspective, as an observer, to examine and distinguish between Ji Ao and Immortal Lord Ziwei.

It is said that the person involved is confused, and the bystander sees clearly. Because Immortal Lord Ziwei had been kind to Chen Tian at the beginning, Chen Tian subjectively believed that Immortal Lord Ziwei was the one who could be trusted.

However, after abandoning emotions and discarding subjectivity, Chen Tian finally discovered some suspicious points on Immortal Lord Ziwei with an absolutely fair and rational eye.

The first was the Green-Eyed True Dragon. According to Ji Ao's statement at the time, when helping the Green-Eyed Viper transform into a dragon, Immortal Lord Ziwei secretly did something and did not use all his strength, but deliberately left a flaw for Ji Ao to take the opportunity to approach Chen Tian.

After Chen Tian's examination, the truth was indeed as Ji Ao said. Immortal Lord Ziwei only used 70% of his strength and deliberately used something called 'Berserk Grass' to make the Green-Eyed True Dragon go crazy, so he didn't recognize Chen Tian and attacked him.

So, the reason why the Green-Eyed True Dragon appeared abnormal at that time was entirely orchestrated by Immortal Lord Ziwei.

Secondly, through Chen Tian's subtle observation, he found that when Immortal Lord Ziwei looked at him, there would always be a trace of greed and murderous intent in his eyes. Although Immortal Lord Ziwei hid it very well, he still couldn't escape Chen Tian's eyes.

Combining all of the above, Chen Tian finally believed Ji Ao's words. Therefore, during the second meeting with Ji Ao, Chen Tian agreed to join hands with him!

It was from that time that a game of schemes within schemes and spies within spies was staged without Immortal Lord Ziwei's awareness!
