Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Liao Yufan escorted Chen Tian all the way to the entrance of Shixiang Pavilion, a hint of reluctance on his face, and said, "Brother Ye, are you really not planning to stay a bit longer? I think my master quite admires you. If you were to stay, I could implore him to give you some pointers on cultivation."

Liao Yufan had finally encountered a like-minded companion like Chen Tian, and now they were suddenly parting ways, so he was indeed a little reluctant.

And wasn't Chen Tian the same?

Chen Tian knew that he was far from settled, or rather, Chen Tian was currently in a great danger, and might die at any moment.

Therefore, Chen Tian had to seize every minute of the time he had left to improve his strength as much as possible. Only in this way could Chen Tian seek a glimmer of hope in the dangers ahead.

Thinking this, Chen Tian gave Liao Yufan a wry smile and said, "Brother Liao, if there's a chance in the future, I will definitely have a long heart-to-heart talk with you! But for now... I really must leave."

Although Liao Yufan was very reluctant to see Chen Tian leave, upon hearing his resolute determination, he could only sigh helplessly, cupping his fist and smiling, "Then, I wish Brother Ye a safe journey."

Hearing this, Chen Tian also cupped his fist and smiled at him. Immediately afterward, his figure dissipated, transforming into a stream of light and speeding away towards the west.

Liao Yufan stood there blankly for a long time. Only after he could no longer see Chen Tian's figure did he shake his head and walk back.

........................

Chen Tian flew west all the way, seemingly moving away from the Ximi Mountains, but after flying three hundred miles, Chen Tian's figure suddenly disappeared into thin air!

At the southernmost part of the Ximi Mountains, there was a desolate pile of rocks. Here, huge rocks stood everywhere, the roads were rugged, and no weeds grew. Even the flying birds that came and went disdained to set foot here.

In front of this pile of rocks was a forest of towering trees, one of the entrances to the Ximi Mountains.

But in this originally calm strange rock forest, ripples suddenly began to appear. Immediately afterward, a light flickered, and a young man wearing a white feather coat appeared.

It was Chen Tian, who had used the Heaven-Shielding Feather Shawl to conceal himself here.

After arriving at this strange rock forest, Chen Tian hovered in mid-air with a frown, as if he was thinking about something. Soon, however, he began to move again, turning into a stream of light and rushing into the forest leading to the Ximi Mountains.

This Chen Tian actually didn't choose to go back, but instead entered the Ximi Mountains again!

This was indeed a puzzling thing, after all, the middle-aged man had previously used three Dragon Saliva Pills as the price to implore Chen Tian to lead a team into the Ximi Mountains once again, but Chen Tian had not agreed.

But now he was venturing into it alone. What exactly was Chen Tian thinking?

It was dusk, and because the peaks around the Ximi Mountains were very high and stood like four screens, the light here would instantly dim soon after the setting sun sank below the mountains.

The nights in the Ximi Mountains always came earlier and lasted longer than in ordinary places!

And this darkness was undoubtedly the world of the demon beasts. They could unleash even more ferocious power at night than during the day.

Therefore, the demon-exterminating teams organized by Shixiang Pavilion usually operated during the day and hid at night to temporarily avoid their sharpness.

Chen Tian had also done this before. Every time it got late, he would lead his subordinates to find a sturdy cave and wait inside until the sun rose again.

But Chen Tian didn't do this now. Even though it was already late, Chen Tian still rushed into it without any scruples, and pushed his speed to the extreme, making a "whoosh... whoosh" sound, as if he was afraid that the demon beasts wouldn't hear him.

Of course, as soon as Chen Tian rushed into the forest, some powerful demon beasts noticed him. They drooled greedily and followed Chen Tian's movements closely.

And the number wasn't just one or two. Chen Tian could clearly sense that as he rushed forward, more than a dozen strange noises echoed from all directions at the same time. All of these were the movements made by the demon beasts that were besieging him.

Although he had successfully attracted the attention of more than a dozen demon beasts, Chen Tian seemed to be still not satisfied. A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he increased his speed a little more and rushed forward with a bang.

Chen Tian didn't deliberately hide his aura, but instead swaggered through the bushes. The rapid speed brought a strong wind, causing the treetops to shake and make harsh noises in the silent night.

The sound spread far and wide, and soon, it caused the demon beasts a kilometer away to also hear the sound and chase towards Chen Tian.

These demon beasts were shrouded in clusters of black air. In the night, their eyes also began to emit a ghostly red light, making people feel even more afraid.

But Chen Tian ignored them and continued to fly forward at full speed, making the sound even louder.

At this time, Chen Tian was like a tempting piece of fat, causing all the nearby demon beasts to chase after him. Their saliva also flowed longer and longer.

Soon, there were already more than two hundred demon beasts following behind Chen Tian, including both powerful sixth-order demon beasts and pitiful first-order demon beasts. Although their strengths were different, their eyes all revealed a strong look of greed as they ran madly towards Chen Tian!

If you looked down from the sky, you could see a golden streamer rushing forward fiercely in the bushes shrouded in the night, and behind him, hundreds of demon beasts flashing with traces of black air followed closely. The places they passed formed a hurricane, blowing the towering ancient trees until they bent over and collapsed.

After traveling for a quarter of an hour with such a grand momentum, the number of demon beasts following had already reached no less than three hundred.

Only then did a hint of satisfaction appear in Chen Tian's eyes. His body suddenly stopped and floated quietly in mid-air.

At this time, Chen Tian was equivalent to food in the eyes of the demon beasts, and seeing the food stop, they were even more excited. After roaring in unison, they pounced towards Chen Tian even more forcefully.

Although they had not yet arrived, the strong wind formed by the simultaneous running of more than three hundred demon beasts had already reached Chen Tian, blowing his white clothes fluttering, and Chen Tian's waist-length hair also danced in the air.

However, Chen Tian's face was extremely peaceful, with a slight frown, looking thoughtfully at the demon beasts that were running over.

After a few more breaths, the demon beasts finally arrived. Seeing that they could eat this 'fat meat', the demon beasts roared excitedly again.

But suddenly, at this moment, an incredible phenomenon occurred!
