Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

After several years apart, the Ghost Dao Sect remained peaceful. Within the mountain, caves on the stone walls housed Ghost Dao Sect disciples in black robes, flying in and out. Occasionally, someone noticed Chen Tian, but after a curious glance, they went on their way.

Chen Tian, of course, paid them no mind. He leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of light, and soon arrived at a cliff face on the south side of the mountain.

Looking up from the base of the cliff, Chen Tian noticed the caves were more densely packed than before, suggesting more disciples had joined the Ghost Dao Sect in recent years.

It made sense. The Ghost Dao Sect's relationship with other orthodox sects had been tense, with frequent battles. The loss of low-level disciples needed to be replenished.

Back in the Saint Demon Cave, she had appeared miraculously and helped Chen Tian. But when Chen Tian went to find Hua Wanting with the three Blood Spirit Pills he had promised her, he was shocked to discover that Hua Wanting had already left the Ghost Dao Sect.

From then on, Chen Tian felt that Hua Wanting was not as simple as she seemed, and he resolved to avoid provoking her as much as possible in the future.

However, while traveling through the Western Mi Mountains, Chen Tian suddenly discovered Qin Yi.

The first time Chen Tian saw Qin Yi, he mistook her for Hua Wanting and went to strike up a conversation.

But the result was a great surprise to Chen Tian. Although Qin Yi looked exactly like Hua Wanting, their temperament and personality were worlds apart!

Hua Wanting was enchanting and alluring, like a fiery, thorny rose; while Qin Yi was pure and kind, like a flawless snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains.

Therefore, Chen Tian immediately realized that Qin Yi was definitely not Hua Wanting.

Even so, Chen Tian was still very surprised, because he had never seen two people in the world who looked so alike. In terms of appearance alone, Qin Yi and Hua Wanting were even more similar than identical twins.

Chen Tian was filled with astonishment. He didn't know whether to marvel at the wonders of nature or lament the tricks of fate.

It was also after seeing Qin Yi that Chen Tian regained a trace of curiosity about Hua Wanting, wanting to see her again.

Thinking this, Chen Tian unknowingly arrived here.

Looking at the closed stone door, Chen Tian sighed helplessly, fearing that Hua Wanting had not yet returned.

Chen Tian wanted to knock on the door, but then felt that doing so would be futile. After shaking his head slightly, Chen Tian turned to leave.

"Ci long..."

But just as Chen Tian turned around, the stone door, which had been closed all along, suddenly opened with a muffled sound.

Hearing this sound, Chen Tian's body shook, and he stopped instantly.

"Could it be that Hua Wanting has returned?"

Chen Tian couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and he turned around with a smile on his face.

But when Chen Tian clearly saw the person standing behind the stone door, the smile on his face froze instantly.

It was true that a woman appeared after the stone door opened, but this person was definitely not Hua Wanting, but someone Chen Tian had never seen before.

As if sensing the powerful aura on Chen Tian's body, the woman's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly bowed and said, "I didn't know that Senior would grace us with your presence. Disciple Li Binglan failed to greet you properly, please forgive me."

"Li Binglan?" Hearing the woman announce her name, Chen Tian muttered to himself, then asked suspiciously, "Do you live in this cave now?"

Li Binglan obviously didn't expect Chen Tian to ask this question for no reason, but she didn't dare to neglect him and respectfully replied, "Reporting to Senior, I joined the Ghost Dao Sect a year ago, and since then I have been assigned to live in this cave and have not changed."

"Hmm?"

Hearing Li Binglan's words, Chen Tian was even more surprised. He didn't expect the Ghost Dao Sect to give the cave that originally belonged to Hua Wanting to this woman.

Was it because Hua Wanting had broken through to the Spirit Guiding stage and could open up another residence, so she no longer needed to live in these simple caves?

"Senior, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with Junior living here?" Seeing Chen Tian's thoughtful look, Li Binglan asked cautiously.

Chen Tian came back to his senses upon hearing this, smiled and said, "No, I didn't mean that, I was just thinking about other things! Alright, I won't bother you, I'm leaving."

After saying that, Chen Tian smiled at Li Binglan again, then flew back gracefully.

To be honest, Chen Tian was a little disappointed that he didn't see Hua Wanting this time, but it was alright. After all, there wasn't much of a connection between Chen Tian and Hua Wanting, so it didn't matter whether they met or not.

"You, surnamed Gu, don't push your luck too far! Quickly give me the twenty Magic Essence Pills we agreed on!"

"Hehe, I just won't give them, so what? If you have the ability, come and hit me! You Three Soul Sect, you're all a bunch of cowards. Just go home and play in the mud, hahaha... hahahaha..."

Just as Chen Tian was flying back, a conversation suddenly entered his ears, causing Chen Tian to stop instantly and look over from afar.

In a dark corner, two Ghost Dao Sect disciples in black robes seemed to be arguing over something.

"You, surnamed Gu, don't be too proud! When our Senior Brother Fan returns, he will definitely beat you to a pulp!" A seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy shouted angrily.

"Hehe, then wait for him to come back and say that. Now I, your grandpa, have something to do and don't have time to waste with you. Goodbye!" Another boy of the same age didn't seem to be afraid of his threat, and after sneering dismissively, he raised his leg to leave.

Seeing this, a playful smile couldn't help but appear in Chen Tian's eyes, and then with a flash, he flew towards the two of them.

If it were an ordinary matter, Chen Tian would naturally not bother to pay attention to it, but Chen Tian knew one of them, and that was Gu Junchao, who had always been by Fan Da's side!
