Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

After these few days of getting along, Wang Yue and Chen Tian's relationship had become extremely good.

Therefore, Wang Yue more diligently taught Chen Tian some things about raising spirit beasts and the affairs of the Immortal Feather Sect.

Chen Tian also benefited greatly during this time.

At the same time, with Wang Yue's help, Chen Tian also began the initial cultivation of meditation and breathing exercises.

The Qi Awakening Stage is the foundation of cultivating immortality. In this stage, there is actually nothing to do, just absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth as much as possible.

Of course, those with superior talent absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth several times, or even hundreds of times, faster than others, and easily break through the Qi Awakening Stage to enter the Spirit Guiding Stage.

However, those with mediocre talent may not be able to accumulate enough spiritual energy to break through the Spirit Guiding Stage in their entire lives, thus being trapped in the Qi Awakening Stage forever, unable to advance a step further.

Chen Tian knew that his talent was ordinary, so he worked harder and more diligently than others in cultivation.

After all, having come this far, Chen Tian did not want to give up.

This period of time was undoubtedly happy. For the first time, Chen Tian did not have to wander around, but had a very stable environment for him to live in. He was already very satisfied with at least this point.

However, pleasant times are always short-lived.

About a month after the cultivation test ended, Wang Yue finally received a new work assignment from the sect: he was to go to the Foreign Affairs Office to work.

After receiving this news, Wang Yue shook his head helplessly, but then let out a long sigh of relief.

He told Chen Tian that the meaning of this job was that the sect had completely given up on him, because they felt that Wang Yue would definitely not be able to make any major breakthroughs in this life, so they arranged for him to go to the Foreign Affairs Office. If he was lucky in the future, he could become a Foreign Affairs Elder and help the sect manage some industries in the secular world.

He sat in the courtyard of the spirit beast garden all night, staring blankly at the dark sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chen Tian was a little worried about him, so he didn't sleep either, but sat beside him, watching the sky with him.

Although Chen Tian didn't know what Wang Yue saw.

The night breeze was gentle. At this time, it was the transition from late spring to early summer, so the first half of the night was very warm, but in the second half of the night, the temperature was a bit low.

Chen Tian seemed to feel cold, and couldn't help but shiver, breathed into his hands, and rubbed them constantly in front of his chest.

At this time, Wang Yue finally came back to his senses, gave Chen Tian a forced smile, and said, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother Chen, I've made you catch a cold with me."

After hearing this, Chen Tian shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, I used to do this often when I was a child. It was even worse than now at that time. In the cold winter, we didn't have quilts. Xiao Long and I hugged each other to keep warm, but in the end, we were shivering from the cold."

While saying this, Chen Tian showed Wang Yue a warm smile, and then asked, "By the way, Senior Brother, what were you thinking about just now while looking at the sky?"

After hearing Chen Tian's words, Wang Yue frowned and pointed to the dark sky, asking him, "Junior Brother, do you think this sky is big?"

"Big," Chen Tian said with a smile. "The sky is of course very big. The weather in the east, west, south, and north is different. I heard that it's raining here, but the sun is shining brightly there; it's snowing there, but there's thunder and lightning here. The sky is huge."

Chen Tian didn't understand why Wang Yue asked this, but he still answered truthfully.

But after hearing Chen Tian's words, Wang Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Yes, the sky is really big. Just now, when I looked at the sky, I suddenly felt my figure gradually shrinking, shrinking, and shrinking again, until finally it shrank to the size of a grain of sand. No, it should be said that it turned into an ant, an ant fighting against the sky."

"An ant fighting against the sky?" Chen Tian was surprised. He didn't know what this meant.

Wang Yue smiled and continued, "When I first entered the sect, the senior brother who brought me told me that we cultivators are a group of fighters who go against the heavens. If the heavens don't allow us to become stronger, we must go against the heavens to become stronger; if the heavens don't allow us to live forever, we must go against the heavens and live as long as the heavens. Therefore, we cultivators are people who defy the heavens."

"But today I realized that in front of God, where are we even considered human? At best, we are just insignificant ants. No matter how much we go against the heavens, we are just ants fighting against the heavens, but ultimately being played by God in the palm of his hand. How ironic."

Speaking of this, Wang Yue smiled freely, with a lonely expression.

But after hearing this, Chen Tian's heart suddenly stirred. He seemed to understand something, but he also seemed to understand nothing.

After a long silence between them, Wang Yue looked at Chen Tian again and said, "Junior Brother, my life is over, so I accept my fate and honestly be a mortal. You should take care of yourself."

After saying this, Wang Yue sighed deeply, stood up, and went into the room alone.

However, Chen Tian did not follow him in at this time, but continued to look at the sky.

The vast stars, boundless and unrestrained.

The sky is so big, I don't know how many miles it is…

Can mortals really fight against the heavens?

Seemingly troubled by this question, Chen Tian didn't sleep much that night, but stared blankly at the sky in a daze.

It wasn't until the rooster crowed and the east turned white that Chen Tian sighed helplessly and turned around to enter the house.

… … … … … … … … … … … …

Another week passed, and Wang Yue was finally leaving.

Both of them seemed very silent and didn't say anything.

Only when they were about to part did Wang Yue smile at Chen Tian and say "Take care," before leaving with the package he had packed long ago on his back.

Chen Tian didn't see him off, because this was what Wang Yue had told him earlier, because he didn't want Chen Tian to see him crying.

Just like that, Wang Yue left, leaving only Chen Tian alone in the large spirit beast garden.

Suddenly, a sense of loneliness swept over Chen Tian, making him feel a little sad.

In the past, although Chen Tian lived a hard life, he still had Xiao Long by his side.

But he never thought that now that he had finally joined the Immortal Feather Sect as he had dreamed of, becoming an immortal cultivator, he was the only one left.

This was something Chen Tian had never expected.

Looking at the empty courtyard and the two Flame Turtles in the distance peacefully dozing off, Chen Tian couldn't help but sigh and turned to walk into the room.

In any case, starting from today, Chen Tian was finally going to begin his path of cultivating immortality!
