Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Seeing the sudden appearance of the demonic cloud and hearing the eerie voice coming from within, He Yutang and the others were instantly stunned, unsure of what was happening.

After a long moment, He Yutang was the first to regain his senses. He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Reporting to Senior, this junior does not know who Yang Ming is. Perhaps you have mistaken us for someone else?"

Although he couldn't see the appearance of the person hidden within the demonic cloud, He Yutang could sense that this person was a Spirit Gathering stage cultivator, so he dared not act presumptuously.

"Don't know him?" The blood-red demonic cloud churned for a moment, then said in a gloomy and stern voice, "Hmph, do you really think this old man would believe your nonsense? You have the aura of that Yang Ming on you, how could you not be related to him?"

"I... This..." He Yutang was frustrated. He said with a wry smile, "Senior, this junior truly does not know who this Yang Ming you speak of is. This junior came here to hunt down a person named Ye Tianjian. I hope Senior will investigate thoroughly!"

Not only He Yutang, but the other three also felt bewildered at this moment, because they had never heard of the name Yang Ming.

"Hmph? So you're a bunch of tough nuts, still refusing to admit it even now!" The person hidden in the demonic cloud obviously didn't believe He Yutang's words. He chuckled coldly and continued, "But this old man already knows the whereabouts of that brat. No matter how you try to deny it, it's useless! Very well, this old man will just tie you all up together. I will definitely kill Yang Ming and everyone related to him. I will make him suffer a fate worse than death! Haha... Hahahaha..."

Amidst a burst of insane laughter, the strange blood-red demonic cloud suddenly churned, then extended outwards, enveloping He Yutang and the others, who were still dumbfounded and clueless. Then, the demonic cloud slowly wriggled, retreated from the mine, and shot towards the east!

And the direction he was heading was precisely where Chen Tian was in seclusion!

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

Chen Tian had no idea that a great danger was approaching him.

At this moment, he was still sitting cross-legged in the cave on the mountainside, his expression unmoving.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but Chen Tian's eyelids twitched, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, Chen Tian's face was extremely strange, it was impossible to tell if he was smiling or feeling depressed, but one thing was certain: Chen Tian's strength had suddenly dropped from the Great Perfection of the Spirit 引领 Stage to the Middle Stage of the Spirit 引领 Stage!

This was an extremely bizarre phenomenon. It should be known that even if one failed to break through to the Spirit Gathering stage, the cultivator's cultivation level would not decrease, at most remaining at the original level.

But Chen Tian was different at this moment. The aura on his body had greatly declined compared to before his seclusion, and his strength had actually fallen from the Great Perfection of the Spirit 引领 Stage to the Middle Stage of the Spirit 引领 Stage!

Chen Tian also found this phenomenon difficult to understand.

Chen Tian looked around at the ground and found that it was scattered with tens of thousands of Immortal Crystal Stone waste rocks, all of which had been used up in maintaining the 'Spirit Gathering Array' these past few days. The two cloud dragons had also long since disappeared, and the entire cave was silent.

Seeing this, Chen Tian frowned slightly, then retracted his gaze and began to stare blankly into space.

Strictly speaking, Chen Tian had already broken through to the Spirit Gathering stage. As for why his current cultivation level was not the Initial Stage of the Spirit Gathering stage, but the Middle Stage of the Spirit 引领 Stage, it had to be traced back to three days ago.

Three days ago, Chen Tian compressed his own spiritual power to the extreme, and then decided to try to break through to the Spirit Gathering stage.

The process of gathering spirits was unexpectedly smooth. Chen Tian encountered almost no obstacles and broke through the shackles, entering the Spirit Gathering stage.

At that time, Chen Tian was undoubtedly very excited, but before he could be happy for long, an incredible thing happened. A huge suction force suddenly came from the Immortal Clan bloodline that had been repaired to seventy percent, devouring the spiritual power that Chen Tian had painstakingly accumulated like a whale swallowing water.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian was instantly shocked, and when he came back to his senses, he began to try various methods to prevent the Immortal Clan bloodline from devouring his spiritual power.

Finally, with Chen Tian's various efforts, the suction force on the Immortal Clan bloodline disappeared, but Chen Tian also lost most of his spiritual power as a result, and his strength fell from the Initial Stage of the Spirit Gathering stage to the Middle Stage of the Spirit 引领 Stage.

After another three days of meditation, Chen Tian finally consolidated his realm, but he was also shocked into a cold sweat.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian frowned, and then released his spiritual sense, sinking into his dantian.

After inspecting for a week, Chen Tian was surprised to find that the repair degree of the Immortal Clan bloodline had jumped from the previous seventy percent to eighty percent. It seemed that after absorbing Chen Tian's spiritual power, it was able to be repaired again.

Chen Tian was shocked by this phenomenon, but what followed was a kind of indescribable palpitation.

Chen Tian vaguely felt that all of this was too strange, and everything revealed abnormality.

Chen Tian recalled that the Immortal Clan bloodline in his body had already devoured demonic energy and monster energy, and now it was actually beginning to devour Chen Tian's spiritual energy.

This was not a normal situation. Chen Tian always felt that he seemed to have heard of something similar somewhere!

But where exactly had he heard of it?

Chen Tian's face darkened, and he began to recall in his heart.

Memories flashed rapidly through Chen Tian's mind like a series of comic strips, and Chen Tian also perked up, making sure he wouldn't miss any moment.

And suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across Chen Tian's mind, and he finally remembered.

Chen Tian remembered that when he was in the Ximi Mountains, the Frog Clan Demon King had said a word to him, 'Reversion to Ancestry'!

The method was to absorb the immortal power on Chen Tian's body to complete his demon power awakening, so as to restore the ancient demon clan's innate divine powers and achieve the purpose of reverting to ancestry.

Because too many things had happened at the time, Chen Tian didn't take this matter to heart, but now looking back, Chen Tian suddenly realized that the Immortal Clan bloodline's approach was not similar to the Frog Clan Demon King's 'Reversion to Ancestry'?

The Frog Clan Demon King absorbed the immortal energy on Chen Tian's body to revert to ancestry, so was this Immortal Clan bloodline also absorbing demonic energy, monster energy, and spiritual energy to revert to ancestry?

This was a very bold assumption, and as soon as it was made, Chen Tian was shocked.

However, the more Chen Tian thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very likely.

But if this was the case, then a new question arose.

Chen Tian had inherited the Immortal Clan bloodline in that void, which meant that he should already be a descendant of the Immortal Clan, so why was it necessary to revert to ancestry again?

And if it wasn't Chen Tian reverting to ancestry for Chen Tian, then who was this Immortal Clan bloodline reverting to ancestry for?

The more Chen Tian thought about it, the more flustered he became. He always felt that he seemed to be caught in a huge conspiracy!

Chen Tian felt agitated and wanted to continue thinking, when suddenly, a powerful aura descended!
