Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

When Chen Tian arrived at the plaza in front of the Ascension Pavilion, he found that many disciples of the Immortal Feather Sect had already gathered there.

The expressions on their faces were also very puzzled, as they didn't know why the sect had suddenly summoned them.

Chen Tian glanced at the crowd in the plaza, and then took the initiative to walk to a corner in the distance.

After all, he was still used to this position away from the crowd.

Next, more and more people came to the plaza, but without exception, their expressions were very confused.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian couldn't help but frown slightly, he vaguely felt that this movement was a bit wrong.

Chen Tian began to look around, hoping to find Ji Tianyi.

However, what was strange was that Ji Tianyi, who usually arrived very early, was nowhere to be seen this time.

This inevitably made Chen Tian feel even more puzzled.

After another half an hour, Ji Tianyi finally arrived late.

He glanced around, and after discovering Chen Tian's location, he hurriedly ran over.

When he walked closer, Chen Tian noticed that his face was full of depression.

Chen Tian immediately felt a bad feeling and asked: "Senior Brother Ji, did something happen?"

Ji Tianyi seemed a little embarrassed after hearing this, and said to Chen Tian: "Junior Brother Chen, I'm really sorry about this time."

"Hmm, Senior Brother Ji, what do you mean by this?" Chen Tian's doubts grew even greater.

"Alas, Junior Brother Chen, let me put it this way, the sect suddenly summoned us disciples this time to announce the battle order of the newcomer competition three months later." Ji Tianyi said with a bitter face.

Chen Tian had already vaguely guessed something at this time, and said: "Could it be that there is a change in the battle order?"

Ji Tianyi sighed again and said: "Alas, that's right, didn't that Pan Xingyu threaten to fight us in the first two rounds of the newcomer competition? After that, I went home and wanted to use the power of our Ji family to intervene in the battle order, but what I never expected was that our Ji family ran around for several days, but only changed my battle order, but failed to protect you, so I'm sorry, Junior Brother Chen."

Speaking of this, Ji Tianyi didn't dare to look at Chen Tian anymore, but lowered his head with a ashamed expression.

Chen Tian's heart tightened when he heard this, and just as he was about to say something, suddenly, the gate of the Ascension Pavilion opened, and an old man with white hair and a youthful face, holding a whisk in his hand, walked out.

When Chen Tian saw this old man, the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank, because he recognized that this old man was the deacon who had persuaded him to withdraw from the newcomer competition in the Spirit Beast Garden.

"Greetings, Elder Chu!"

After seeing this old man come out, the disciples in the plaza immediately stopped talking and bowed to him very respectfully.

But Chen Tian was unmoved at this time, but looked at him with scorching eyes.

Ji Tianyi, who was on the side, saw Chen Tian's appearance and thought that he didn't know this old man, so he hurriedly explained: "Junior Brother Chen, he is the deacon who was appointed by the Sect Leader as the chief examiner of the newcomer competition this time, surnamed Chu."

"Oh, so it's Deacon Chu." Chen Tian responded coldly after hearing this, but his tone was full of disdain.

The deacon surnamed Chu slowly glanced at the disciples in the plaza, smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "Everyone may feel a little strange, why did you suddenly summon you here? In fact, there is nothing too big, just want to inform you about the first round of battle order in this newcomer competition."

"First round battle order?"

Hearing the old man's words, the disciples present suddenly exploded, and everyone's faces showed surprise.

One of the disciples mustered up his courage and asked: "Elder Chu, according to the usual practice, the battle list is not announced about a week before the start of the competition? Why is it so early this time?"

As soon as this person's voice fell, the other disciples nodded one after another, and then looked at the old man with a questioning face.

In fact, these people care very much about the newcomer competition, because if they achieve a good ranking, then they may be noticed by the sect and cultivated as core disciples.

At that time, all kinds of elixirs and magic weapons will be supplied continuously.

On the path of cultivating immortals, although talent is very important, opportunity is equally important.

And this newcomer competition is undoubtedly a great opportunity in the eyes of these people, how could they not care!

The deacon surnamed Chu smiled when he saw the fiery gazes of the crowd and said: "Everyone don't panic, in fact, this is a major innovation in this newcomer competition, you can imagine, if the first round opponent is determined early, then everyone will have more time to prepare with peace of mind, so as to increase the chances of winning, and at the same time, in the remaining three months, you can also better spur you to progress, which is a good thing for the sect and for you, and I have already reported this plan to the Sect Leader, and he has already agreed, so you don't need to say more."

Deacon Chu's last sentence completely blocked the hearts of everyone who wanted to protest, causing them to fall silent.

But after thinking about it, they also felt that what he said made some sense. In the past, when there was only one week left, they knew who the first round opponent was, and they were often caught off guard and failed to prepare in time, so they were brushed off in the first round.

Now that they can know who the opponent is early, they will have more time to prepare for the battle, which is also a good idea.

After thinking about it like this, everyone nodded slightly, which was regarded as default.

Among these people, only one person was very calm and composed, with a hint of evil smile from beginning to end, looking confident.

He is Pan Xingyu.

Although this Pan Xingyu was standing in a very distant position from Chen Tian, he looked at Chen Tian from time to time, and then showed a disdainful smile.

Pan Xingyu's movements were very small, and if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't notice it.

However, at this time, after Chen Tian merged with the Immortal Clan bloodline, his facial features and spiritual sense became extremely sensitive, so he did not escape his eyes.

Very obviously, this Pan Xingyu was looking at himself with a playful and mocking look.

This made Chen Tian very uncomfortable.

However, at this moment, the Deacon Chu at the front of the plaza shook his hands, and a huge scroll flew out of his sleeve and floated above everyone's heads.

Immediately afterwards, the scroll slowly opened, and the battle order list was instantly revealed.
