Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant at all." Seeing Chen Tian's somewhat annoyed expression, Tuo Lei Zha Da quickly waved his hands and said, "Since these gemstones were given by the Immortal, then needless to say, they must be rare treasures of the mortal realm. How could I dislike them?"

Chen Tian was immediately puzzled and asked, "If that's the case, then why don't you accept them?"

Hearing Chen Tian ask this, a hint of cunning appeared in Tuo Lei Zha Da's eyes, and he said with a grin, "Immortal, could I exchange these four gemstones for one favor from you?"

"Exchange for my help?" Hearing this, Chen Tian's face showed a hint of interest, and he nodded and smiled, "Interesting. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Tuo Lei Zha Da was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Immortal, it's like this. Tomorrow, a tribe called Lin Ma will challenge us. Unfortunately, my grandfather is old and sick and cannot fight. Therefore, I would like the Immortal to help our Zha Da tribe once tomorrow. Don't worry, we, the Zha Da tribe, will never forget this great kindness!"

After saying that, Tuo Lei Zha Da knelt down to Chen Tian again, and the tribesmen behind him also prostrated themselves, seemingly also requesting Chen Tian's help.

This time, Chen Tian did not release his spiritual power to lift them up. Instead, he touched his chin and asked suspiciously, "Since your grandfather cannot fight, what about your father? Didn't you say that your father is the greatest warrior? Then why doesn't he lead your tribe to resist foreign enemies?"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Tuo Lei Zha Da immediately looked distressed and sighed, "Immortal, you don't know, just a month ago, my father also wanted to try to lift this long saber, but unfortunately, he died of exhaustion just as it left the ground by an inch. Therefore, in the Zha Da tribe now, only my grandfather and I are left alone and helpless. We really cannot resist the Lin Ma tribe, whose morale is like a rainbow! So, if the Immortal doesn't come to our rescue, our Zha Da tribe will be in imminent danger."

As Tuo Lei Zha Da spoke, his face was sorrowful, and he actually cried, constantly wiping away tears with his sleeves.

Chen Tian couldn't help but hesitate after hearing this. To be honest, he really didn't want to participate in the struggles of mortals.

However, when Chen Tian glanced at the long saber still in his hand, a thought suddenly occurred to him, and he asked faintly, "Let's not talk about this for now. I ask you, do you know the origin of this long saber?"

Hearing that Chen Tian had neither agreed nor refused, but instead was concerned about the long saber, a look of astonishment appeared on Tuo Lei Zha Da's face.

However, he quickly became somewhat excited again, because Chen Tian's lack of a clear refusal meant that there was still a turning point.

So, Tuo Lei Zha Da hurriedly said, "I don't know much about this long saber. I only know that it has been placed there since I was a child, and it hasn't been moved for hundreds of years."

"Oh, is that so?" Hearing Tuo Lei Zha Da's words, Chen Tian couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He was very interested in this strange long saber and wanted to learn more about it from the young man.

Tuo Lei Zha Da obviously noticed the disappointment on Chen Tian's face. He panicked and hurriedly said, "Although I don't know, my grandfather is the leader of the current Zha Da tribe, and perhaps he knows something."

"Is that true?" Hearing this, Chen Tian's eyes lit up again, and he asked, "Where is your grandfather now?"

Seeing Chen Tian's excited appearance, although Tuo Lei Zha Da was confused, he immediately said, "My grandfather is currently resting in the royal tent. If the Immortal wants to see him, I can lead the way for you."

Chen Tian nodded and his expression calmed down again. He said faintly, "Alright, lead the way then."

Tuo Lei Zha Da was overjoyed and quickly stood up from the ground. He waved his hand and smiled, "Immortal, this way, please!"

At this time, Tuo Lei Zha Da had already run into the tent and hurriedly said, "Grandfather, please don't shout and scream, it's not good to startle the gods."

Old Zha Da was even more angry after hearing this. Just as he was about to sit up and teach him a lesson, his eyes swept over and immediately saw Chen Tian standing behind Tuo Lei Zha Da.

At this time, Chen Tian was still holding the long saber that no one had been able to lift for hundreds of years, so Old Zha Da was immediately frightened when he saw it, and he also believed Tuo Lei Zha Da's words about the gods. He hurriedly knelt down to Chen Tian on the bed and said, "Immortal, please don't blame me, this old man has been disrespectful."

Chen Tian smiled after seeing this and said, "Old man, don't panic. Since you are sick, it's better to lie down and talk."

As he spoke, Chen Tian waved his hand, and a ray of spiritual light lifted Old Zha Da and laid him back on the bed, and put the sheepskin blanket back on him.

Seeing this magical scene, Old Zha Da was even more convinced that Chen Tian was a god, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Tuo Lei Zha Da walked to the bed and said to Old Zha Da, "Grandfather, I have already tested it. He is really a god, and he has also agreed to help us fight against the Lin Ma tribe tomorrow."

"This... Is this true? With the help of the Immortal, our Zha Da tribe is saved!" Old Zha Da's eyes flashed with excitement after hearing this, and he looked at Chen Tian gratefully.

Chen Tian couldn't help but feel a little depressed after hearing this. He didn't remember agreeing to definitely help.

However, after Chen Tian glanced at Tuo Lei Zha Da, who was secretly smirking beside him, he immediately understood that this kid wanted to use his grandfather to persuade him.

Chen Tian couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that this kid was really clever.

However, Chen Tian did not deny it, but asked Old Zha Da, "Old man, can you tell me about the origin of this long saber?"

Old Zha Da didn't know why Chen Tian would suddenly ask this question, but since it was a god who was asking, he certainly wouldn't refuse, so he hurriedly said, "In response to the Immortal's words, this long saber is the saber used by our first ancestor. According to my father, our ancestor was born with strange strength and once went to the western swamp alone and slaughtered a dragon inside. Later, I don't know where he got this long saber, and he used it to create our Zha Da tribe, allowing us to continue on the Changping Grassland for generations.

And there is also one thing that is particularly strange, that is, when the ancestor was dying, he specially made a knife rack to place the long saber, and told the tribe members not to try to use this saber, otherwise the consequences would be endless!"

"Hmm? Endless consequences?" Chen Tian was suddenly a little surprised when he heard this sentence!
