Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Chen Tian recalled the events that had occurred in the West Mi Mountains, especially the scene when the new Demon King had carved that mark on his forehead.

At that time, Chen Tian was busy escaping and didn't pay too much attention to it, but now, after a little thought, Chen Tian felt that something was increasingly wrong.

Although he hadn't truly seen the new Demon King's true form, Chen Tian could observe from their brief exchange that the new Demon King's strength was extremely powerful.

So, at that time, if he wanted to kill Chen Tian, it would have been very easy.

But the strangeness lies in this point, because in the end, the new Demon King didn't kill Chen Tian, he only carved a mark on Chen Tian's body and then let him leave.

This is an extremely illogical point.

Chen Tian wouldn't be so naive as to think that the new Demon King was being kind and merciful in letting Chen Tian leave.

In the world of cultivation, there is no compassion, only slaughter! This is a fact that Chen Tian had long understood.

So, excluding the unrealistic idea of 'kindness,' the remaining possibility is that the new Demon King wanted to plot something against Chen Tian.

Chen Tian had been thinking about this question, and he became increasingly certain that the new Demon King definitely harbored malicious intentions.

Although he didn't know the details, Chen Tian could roughly guess that the new Demon King must have encountered something that made it difficult for him to escape, so he wasn't in a hurry to capture him.

But at the same time, he was afraid of losing Chen Tian and not being able to find him again in the future, so that's why he carved this mark on Chen Tian's body at that time, to make it easier for him to track him down in the future.

This is the only reasonable explanation!

A trace of coldness gradually emanated from Chen Tian's body, and when it came into contact with the nearby stone benches and tables, their surfaces instantly formed a thick layer of ice.

But Chen Tian himself didn't notice all of this. At this time, he was still lost in thought.

The new Demon King's actions were very strange. Although Chen Tian didn't know what he was plotting, Chen Tian vaguely felt that this matter might be related to the unknown creature residing in his body.

Chen Tian first noticed this unknown creature when facing the Frog Clan Demon King.

At that time, Chen Tian chased Cao Sui into the depths of the West Mi Mountains and unintentionally set foot in the territory of the Demon King in the West Mi Mountains.

The things that happened afterward were too shocking, and Chen Tian still felt lingering fear when he recalled them at this time.

The Frog Clan Demon King was a demon beast that had awakened its intelligence, and its strength was extremely powerful. Chen Tian could be very sure of this, even stronger than the new Demon King by one level.

And it was from the mouth of this Frog Clan Demon King that Chen Tian first heard the term "ancestral reversion."

It turned out that high-level demon beasts with pure bloodlines could use the blood of the Immortal or Demon races to undergo ancestral reversion, thereby restoring the innate divine powers and abilities of their ancient ancestors.

Although those anomalies disappeared immediately, Chen Tian still felt lingering fear to this day.

Moreover, Chen Tian didn't feel that it was a good thing that the unknown creature resided in his body. On the contrary, a terrifying thought arose in Chen Tian's heart for no reason. He felt that one day in the future, he might die because of this unknown creature.

This thought was extremely strange. Clearly, the unknown creature had previously saved Chen Tian from the hands of the Frog Clan Demon King. Logically speaking, it should be beneficial to Chen Tian!

But Chen Tian didn't think so, because he felt very clearly that the method used by the unknown creature to kill the Frog Clan Demon King was actually the power of Immortals!

Moreover, this was not ordinary Immortal power. Chen Tian could feel that the Immortal power was extremely pure and rich, completely different from the impure and mottled Immortal power that Chen Tian had created using the 'Immortal Transformation Technique' in the past.

In other words, the unknown creature residing in Chen Tian's body possessed the ability to create pure Immortal power.

This made Chen Tian very surprised, because when he had previously looked through the bone slip, it didn't mention anything about such a strange thing appearing after he merged with the Immortal race's bloodline.

Chen Tian could be very sure that the strange creature was alive and possessed an independent personality and consciousness.

This was a very troublesome and dangerous thing.

After thinking of this, Chen Tian's face darkened, and then he sat up from the armchair and sank his spiritual sense into his dantian.

In the dantian, the bone slip engraved with strange characters was still floating quietly, looking calm and serene.

Chen Tian carefully examined the words on it word by word, and finally confirmed that the bone slip didn't mention anything about the unknown creature.

Seeing this, Chen Tian withdrew his spiritual sense, and a hint of coldness faintly radiated from his eyes.

Although Chen Tian didn't want to think in a bad direction, the ruthless facts seemed to be reminding Chen Tian that he might have been deceived by this bone slip!

When Chen Tian inherited the Immortal race's memories in the void and examined the bone slip, it only said a lot of good things about condensing the Immortal race's bloodline, and didn't mention a single bad thing.

But now, looking back, Chen Tian felt that that might be the bone slip's disguise. It only showed Chen Tian the good side and lured Chen Tian to inherit the bloodline.

But behind the benefits, there was also a danger, or rather, a trap waiting for Chen Tian.

But it didn't tell Chen Tian, it just wanted Chen Tian to ignore the existence of this trap.

If it hadn't been for this accidental entry into the West Mi Mountains and encountering the Frog Clan Demon King, Chen Tian might have never realized that there was actually an unknown creature related to the Immortal race residing in his body.

If Chen Tian didn't know, then he might not have explored the secrets within, but now that Chen Tian already knew, then he couldn't continue to live naively in ignorance.

Chen Tian felt that he must find out what this unknown creature residing in his body actually was and what kind of impact it would have on him!

But then trouble came again. Chen Tian knew nothing about this unknown creature, and he didn't even know where to start researching it.

This made Chen Tian's just calmed down heart become agitated again.

After sighing, Chen Tian shook his head slightly. Although he was curious about this unknown creature, Chen Tian knew that it didn't seem to be causing any harm at this time, so Chen Tian decided to leave it for later and study it slowly!

The new Demon King's mark and the hidden worries of the unknown creature were the two major threats that were troubling Chen Tian's heart at this time!

Compared to them, the matter of Pan Linghai seemed somewhat insignificant.

Chen Tian thought for a while, until his head was about to explode, before he finally came back to his senses.

Shaking his head, Chen Tian got up and walked outside.

Chen Tian planned to go to a few places before completely going into seclusion!
