Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Seven days later, in a desolate desert, several camels were leisurely closing their eyes and basking in the sun.

The most terrifying thing in the desert is the lack of water.

But at this moment, these camels were not afraid, because less than thirty feet in front of them, there was a shallow pool of water.

This pool did not exist originally, but three days ago, a terrifying whirlwind suddenly swept through the desert, with flying sand and rocks, and yellow smoke filling the sky, which was truly terrifying.

But strangely enough, after the storm passed, this pool suddenly appeared, reflecting the sunlight sparklingly under the sun.

And these camels had followed the scent of the pool all the way here.

After drinking their fill, they lay down nearby and rested lazily.

But at this moment, two streams of light, one gold and one red, suddenly shot from the distant sky.

They were originally flying straight ahead, but they seemed to have discovered this pool, so they immediately changed direction and shot towards it.

The speed of these two streams of light was extremely fast, and when they shot over, they burst into bursts of ear-piercing sounds of air being torn apart, scaring the camels into fleeing in all directions.

The streams of light flew all the way to the edge of the pool, and then slowly disappeared, revealing the figures inside.

It was Chen Tian and Ji Zhen.

Ji Zhen looked very thirsty, and as soon as he arrived at the pool, he immediately squatted down, scooped up a handful of clear water, and began to drink heartily.

Chen Tian frowned when he saw this, and then also drank some of the clear water from the pool.

"Phew, I've finally recovered. This desert is really big! We've been flying for two days, but we still haven't flown out!" After drinking his fill, Ji Zhen said with a sigh while washing his hands.

Chen Tian had originally calculated that it would only take half a month of flying to reach Mount Minghuang.

But at this rate, the time would be extended to more than twenty days.

And who knows what other problems might arise in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian couldn't help but sigh. Although he was anxious, he was helpless at this moment.

Ji Zhen, who was on the side, saw Chen Tian's worried look, but suddenly smiled and said, "Hehe, Brother Yang, don't worry. I also wanted to shorten the journey, so I took this shortcut. Don't worry, I've been here when I was a kid. It will only take another day to fly out of this desert. The road ahead will be much smoother, and we will definitely be able to reach Mount Minghuang as soon as possible."

But Chen Tian became even more depressed after hearing this, and said angrily, "If you could reduce the time you spend resting, we would have already flown halfway by now. Would we still need to walk through this damn desert?"

Hearing Chen Tian's reprimand, Ji Zhen smiled embarrassedly and said, "Brother Yang, you have to understand me. I am only in the early stage of the Spirit Induction Realm, and you have already cultivated to the middle stage of the Spirit Induction Realm. I don't have as much spiritual power as you. If I don't rest, it will be difficult for me to last this long!"

Chen Tian was stunned after hearing this, and wanted to continue saying something, but in the end, he didn't open his mouth again.

What Ji Zhen said was also true. With his cultivation in the early stage of the Spirit Induction Realm, it was already commendable that he could keep up with Chen Tian for so long.

Chen Tian sighed and decided not to pursue the matter any further.

But suddenly, at this moment, Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something again, and asked, "By the way, Brother Ji, where did you sneak off to when we were resting the night before yesterday? Why did you only come back in the middle of the night?"

After Chen Tian said this, he looked at Ji Zhen with a suspicious expression.

He didn't think much of it before, but now the more Chen Tian thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

Because it was from that night onwards that Ji Zhen proposed to change the route and come to this desert.

And at the beginning, Ji Zhen told Chen Tian that this desert was not big, and it would only take a day to fly out.

But the reality was that Chen Tian and his party had been flying for two days, but they still hadn't walked out of this desert. Moreover, according to Ji Zhen's words, Chen Tian would have to fly for another day!

This made Chen Tian feel a little puzzled, so he traced back to the source and thought of Ji Zhen's mysterious behavior that night, hence this question.

But after Ji Zhen heard Chen Tian's words, his face suddenly changed. He didn't answer directly, but asked, "Brother Yang, didn't you rest that night?"

Looking at Ji Zhen's vague appearance, Chen Tian's doubts deepened, and he nodded, "Since suddenly entering the Spirit Induction Realm, I have rarely slept and rested."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Ji Zhen showed a look of sudden realization, and then tried to pretend to be relaxed and calm and said, "Hey, it's nothing really. That night, I suddenly sensed a trace of a monster's aura. I thought there might be a fierce monster nearby, so I decided to go out and check it out. I wanted to ask Brother Yang to come with me, but at that time, I saw Brother Yang closing his eyes. I thought you were asleep, so I didn't rashly call you, but went alone."

"If that's really the case, then I should thank Brother Ji?" After hearing Ji Zhen's words, Chen Tian said with a calm expression.

Ji Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this, then waved his hand and smiled, "Hey, it's all a small matter. Alright, Brother Yang, it's getting late, let's continue on our way. It's best to fly out of this damn desert as soon as possible."

After saying that, Ji Zhen's figure flashed, and he immediately transformed into a red stream of light and shot forward.

Chen Tian stood still in place for a while after seeing this, and then transformed into a golden stream of light, closely following behind.

It's just that Chen Tian used to fly in front, with Ji Zhen following behind.

But at this time, for some reason, Chen Tian had been deliberately reducing his speed, slowly falling behind Ji Zhen, and deliberately leaving a distance of fifty feet between them.

Ji Zhen, who was flying in front, of course also saw this anomaly. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he thought coldly in his heart, "Hmph, this guy is really smart. It seems that I can't delay any longer. Just wait, tonight will be your death date!"

Thinking like this, a trace of extremely vicious expression could not help but appear in Ji Zhen's eyes!

Although Chen Tian didn't know what Ji Zhen was thinking in his heart at this time, a strong sense of unease suddenly rose up.

To be honest, Chen Tian had already begun to seriously suspect Ji Zhen, and felt that if he stayed with him any longer, something bad would definitely happen.

So Chen Tian made up his mind that he must find a chance to shake off Ji Zhen tonight and fly to Ghost Cry Mountain alone!

Don't look at the fact that neither of them showed any unusual expressions on their faces at this time, but who knows, at this time, both of them were harboring ulterior motives!
