Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

All around was a sea of trees, each one extraordinarily large. The closer to the center, the larger the trees became. In the central area, the trees averaged over a thousand feet in height, like a row of screens blocking the view behind them.

Chen Tian’s eyes narrowed as he took in the scene. He leaped down from the tree and began to ponder.

“Heh heh, little brat, your plan worked out quite well. Those people think you're dead and won't suspect you anymore.” Just as Chen Tian was deep in thought, an eerie voice echoed in his mind. It was Duan Muya speaking.

It turned out that Chen Tian had given Duan Muya an order: to use the demon core to create an illusion of a whale-like demon beast, and then pretend to devour Chen Tian, making everyone believe he was dead.

To this end, Chen Tian even transferred half of his spiritual power to Duan Muya.

In fact, Chen Tian was gambling, betting that Duan Muya wouldn't have malicious intentions and bite him back. After all, with half of his spiritual power loaded onto Duan Muya, and Duan Muya being an old monster in the late stage of凝海, if he wanted to harm Chen Tian, Chen Tian would definitely be no match for him.

But the final result made Chen Tian very happy, because Duan Muya didn't do anything rebellious. He really put on a good show in front of Song Yi and the others, just as Chen Tian had said.

And it was precisely because of his excellent performance that Song Yi and Daoist Fang Zhu were convinced that Chen Tian was dead, and they flew away helplessly.

So, hearing Duan Muya's words at this time, Chen Tian had to interrupt his thoughts and murmured, “I had no choice. I had a feeling that continuing to follow them would not only bring no benefits, but would also attract many disasters. So I might as well go it alone. After all, my original goal was to use their power to enter this Fallen Immortal Valley, and now that this goal has been achieved, there is no need for me to continue to team up with them.”

“Heh heh, kid, you're pretty good, at least smarter than most of the young people I've seen. It seems that I didn't lose out on this deal with you.” Duan Muya grinned, unexpectedly praising Chen Tian.

However, Chen Tian just chuckled at the praise, and then stopped talking, instead constantly observing his surroundings.

After confirming that there was no danger here, Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked Duan Muya, “Alright, you old geezer, now you should tell me what I should do next, right?”

In fact, Duan Muya was also an important reason why Chen Tian had the confidence to break away on his own.

Chen Tian joined Daoist Fang Zhu's team because Daoist Fang Zhu had experience entering the Fallen Immortal Valley. Following him would save him a lot of detours.

Now that Chen Tian had obtained Duan Muya, and Duan Muya also had experience entering the Fallen Immortal Valley, there was no need for Chen Tian to stay in Daoist Fang Zhu's team anymore.

They ate big fish and big meat but didn't give Chen Tian a sip of soup.

Well, Chen Tian would break away on his own and find his own meat to eat!

Duan Muya seemed to appreciate Chen Tian's character very much. He smiled and said, “Just fly forward. This is just the outermost area of the Fallen Immortal Valley, and it is also the safest area. The treasures here have already been swept away by the people who came in before. You won't find anything. Only by entering the very center of the Fallen Immortal Valley will you have a chance to find good treasures.”

Chen Tian knew that this guy was telling the truth. He nodded slightly, and then his figure fluttered forward.

This was the outermost area of the Fallen Immortal Valley, and the world was filled with majestic spiritual power.

Ordinary giant trees that could grow to dozens of feet were already amazing, but there was not a single tree here that was less than a hundred feet tall, and those over a thousand feet were everywhere.

At the same time, the leaves on the trees had become as sharp as knives because they had absorbed the violent spiritual power here for many years.

During Chen Tian's flight, he accidentally touched the leaves a few times, and his clothes were immediately cut to pieces, and blood marks were划出 on his skin.

You must know that Chen Tian had already cultivated to the Gathering Spirit stage, and ordinary swords could not hurt him at all.

But now Chen Tian was划伤 by these seemingly ordinary leaves, which was enough to imagine how sharp they were.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian couldn't help but啧啧称奇, but soon, he felt a little惋惜, and喃喃自语 said, “It's a pity that there is such abundant spiritual power here. If it could be gentler, it would be a great place for cultivation.”

After hearing Chen Tian's words, Duan Muya sneered disdainfully, “Little brat, what are you thinking? You don't know how tragic the great battle was back then. If it weren't for several great powers joining forces to set up a barrier to limit the power of the attack to this Fallen Immortal Valley, I'm afraid the乾元大陆 outside would have been destroyed hundreds of times by now.”

When Duan Muya said this, he revealed a strong sense of pride.

However, Chen Tian felt a little疑惑 after hearing this, and asked, “Why do you say it as if it's true? Could it be that you witnessed the great battle back then with your own eyes?”

Chen Tian's sentence was originally just a joke, but after hearing it in Duan Muya's ears, it instantly panicked him, and he hurriedly denied it, “Hey, little brat, you… what nonsense are you talking about? How could I have participated in the war back then? I just heard about these things.”

“咦?”

Chen Tian惊疑了一声. He couldn't figure out why Duan Muya was so panicked. These words also seemed to give people a sense of欲盖弥彰.

However, just as Chen Tian was puzzled, Duan Muya had already recovered. He adjusted himself and re-摆出 that arrogant posture,倚老卖老 said, “Little brat, don't be stunned. Many people are looking for treasures here now. If you go late, don't say eat meat, you won't even have soup to drink.”

Hearing Duan Muya's words, Chen Tian remembered that his most important thing now was to find immortal pills and immortal treasures, so he temporarily按压 down this trace of疑惑, his figure flashed, and he continued to fly to the depths of the Fallen Immortal Valley.
