Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"Demon Qi" is actually a general term. What these pottery jars truly contain are the souls of demon beasts and the demon essence they cultivate.

These demon souls and demon essence are impure and need to be refined before they can condense into Demon Qi.

Don't underestimate the size of these pottery jars; after refining and purifying them, the pure Demon Qi obtained is only about the size of a small bottle.

The demon souls and demon essence within these three pottery jars are the result of Chen Tian's four years of gathering after leaving the Ghost Dao Sect.

Before arriving at Dingxiang Town, Chen Tian had already visited over twenty forests where demon beasts frequently appeared, spending four years capturing all the demon beasts within them.

Furthermore, if it weren't for the Demon King mark on Chen Tian's forehead, the time he spent would have been at least ten times longer!

Thinking of this, Chen Tian couldn't help but touch his forehead, and immediately, the black flame suddenly appeared.

This mark was carved onto Chen Tian by the new Demon King when he was in the Western Mi Mountains.

At first, Chen Tian felt depressed, but who would have thought it would be so useful now?

This black flame contains a trace of the Demon King's mark. When demon beasts below the sixth rank sense this aura, they are instantly frightened, their legs weakening as they flee in panic.

Chen Tian used this to easily harvest those terrified demon beasts like cutting韭菜 (chives).

Without the help of this Demon King mark, how could Chen Tian have so easily collected so many demon souls and demon essence?

Chen Tian spent four years traveling to over twenty forests where demon beasts appeared, then wiped out all the demon beasts within and stuffed them into these three giant pottery jars.

What frustrated Chen Tian was that even so, the efficiency was still too low.

According to Chen Tian's calculations, to successfully break through to the Spirit Gathering Stage, he needed to restore at least two-thirds of the Immortal Clan bloodline.

Chen Tian spent four years accumulating only three pottery jars of demon souls and demon essence, as well as two thousand demon cores of various sizes.

Refining all the demon souls and demon essence in these three pottery jars would only yield about three small bottles of pure demon qi.

Even if the demon cores in the porcelain jar were refined together, it would only add two more small bottles of demon qi.

Three bottles plus two bottles is only five bottles, which is still half the required ten bottles!

Four years of accumulation only yielded half the required amount, which couldn't help but make Chen Tian feel frustrated.

Moreover, throughout the entire Qian Yuan Continent, apart from the Western Mi Mountains, there weren't many demon beasts gathered in other places; they were only scattered sporadically.

Chen Tian had already swept through the most densely populated areas of demon beasts that he knew of. Although there were still a few forests with demon beasts, the number of demon beasts within was greatly reduced.

In other words, if he wanted to collect the remaining half, the time Chen Tian spent would be at least doubled.

Just thinking about this made Chen Tian's head ache.

But what's the use of just having a headache?

What needs to be faced will eventually have to be faced. Avoiding it won't solve anything.

In fact, there is a simplest way, that is to go to the Western Mi Mountains to collect demon qi.

Because that place not only has a large number of demon beasts, but also Chen Tian's Demon King mark can exert its greatest effect.

In this way, the speed of collecting demon qi will be much faster.

But Chen Tian is not a fool. He knows that there is still a Demon King in that Western Mi Mountains.

Although he doesn't know what this Demon King intends for him, Chen Tian knows that this guy definitely has no good intentions.

If Chen Tian rashly goes to the Western Mi Mountains, it might be equivalent to sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Chen Tian is not stupid enough to do that, so the idea of going to the Western Mi Mountains to collect demon qi was rejected by him as soon as it was generated.

There is no shortcut, so I have to work hard honestly.

Thinking this way, Chen Tian dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind, and his eyes became firm again. He decided not to delay any longer and continue to rush to the next demon beast gathering area.

Chen Tian suddenly stood up from the ground, waved his sleeves, and the bottles and jars on the ground were collected into his storage bracelet along with a purple spiritual light.

After monitoring the cave again to make sure that nothing else was left behind, Chen Tian's figure flashed, turning into a stream of light, breaking through the protective formation and heading east.

… … … … … … … … … … … … …

Lingxia Mountain is located in the east of Qian Yuan Continent.

Although this place cannot be regarded as a仙山宝境 (fairy mountain treasure land), because the spiritual energy is sufficient, some demon beasts have gradually been bred here.

Although the scale is far from comparable to the Western Mi Mountains, it is well-known in the vicinity, so many cultivators come here every year to capture demon beasts.

On a sunny day, a young man in white suddenly landed here.

It was Chen Tian, who had left Dingxiang Town a year ago.

And the purpose of his trip, of course, was to collect demon qi.

When Chen Tian captured demon beasts before, he always had a principle, that is, to try to choose some remote places, because he did not want to expose the secret of the 'Demon King Mark'.

But this Lingxia Mountain is by no means a remote place. On the contrary, it is very lively with people coming and going.

If it were the previous Chen Tian, he would definitely not come here, but at the same time, Chen Tian felt very helpless.

In the past year, Chen Tian had swept through the remaining three forests with dense demon beasts that he knew of, and collected a pottery jar full of demon souls and demon essence.

But in this way, Chen Tian couldn't find any other gathering places for demon beasts. In desperation, he had to break the principle and come to this lively Lingxia Mountain.

Chen Tian felt that as long as he acted in a low-key manner, no one should find out.

Thinking this way, Chen Tian's eyes narrowed, and he flew into the vast mountains of Lingxia Mountain.

In order to avoid the crowd, Chen Tian deliberately entered the deepest part of Lingxia Mountain. This place is sparsely populated, so even if Chen Tian uses the Demon King Mark, it will not be discovered by too many people.

Chen Tian also decided that if he was really accidentally discovered, then he would let the other party disappear from this world.

Although the demon beasts in this Lingxia Mountain are not as dense as the Western Mi Mountains, the number and rank are not small. Chen Tian has gained a lot along the way.

This made Chen Tian feel happy, so he let go of his courage and went to deeper and more remote places.

However, just as Chen Tian came to a remote and uninhabited deep mountain and old forest, and was about to reveal the Demon King Mark, suddenly, Chen Tian discovered signs of people moving in the bushes ahead.

This made Chen Tian a little surprised. He narrowed his eyes, restrained his breath, and quietly sneaked towards that side.
