Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The failure to kill Fang Zhu Zhenren was undoubtedly a huge regret for Chen Tian. After all, this meant Chen Tian had one more enemy.

However, Chen Tian wasn't too afraid. After all, what's done is done, and there's not much use in regretting it. The only thing Chen Tian could do was to work hard to improve his strength in order to resolve this crisis.

Chen Tian's trip to the Fallen Immortal Valley was very rewarding. He could have retreated safely and not taken any more risks. But unexpectedly, at the last moment, Chen Tian actually provoked Fang Zhu Zhenren, this formidable enemy.

You must know that Fang Zhu Zhenren is an old monster in the early stage of the凝海境 (Ning Hai Realm). Chen Tian's cultivation in the聚灵期 (Ju Ling Realm) was extremely weak in front of him.

That's why Chen Tian planned to use the last bit of time to search the Fallen Immortal Valley again, to see if he could find any powerful treasures to fight against Fang Zhu Zhenren.

After all, more strength meant more safety.

And ever since he met Duan Mu Ya, this old geezer had been constantly nagging Chen Tian about how good the treasure he had hidden back then was.

At first, Chen Tian didn't take it to heart, but after hearing it so many times, even the most calm and collected person would be tempted.

Chen Tian was finally defeated by Duan Mu Ya's eloquent tongue and decided to go and take a look at the place where he hid his treasure.

But who knew that along the way, he would encounter so many difficulties and obstacles, almost costing Chen Tian his life.

Especially in that valley, Duan Mu Ya even revealed his sinister face, planning to betray Chen Tian.

If it were the Chen Tian of the past, he would definitely not have tolerated him and would have killed Duan Mu Ya. However, now that he needed to rely on Duan Mu Ya to show him the way and still had use for him, Chen Tian endured it in his heart.

At the same time, Chen Tian also discovered that this old geezer was indeed worthy of being a cultivator in the late stage of the Ning Hai Realm. Although he had already lost his physical body and was trapped by Chen Tian's 'Immortal Trapping Restriction,' he still retained some backup plans. If Chen Tian really wanted to kill him, then this person would definitely fight Chen Tian to the death.

Duan Mu Ya's situation was different from Han Wu Ming's. Han Wu Ming had sacrificed his natal soul, so his life or death was entirely at Chen Tian's discretion.

But this Duan Mu Ya was only imprisoned by Chen Tian with the 'Immortal Trapping Restriction,' and the restraint on him was far less than that on Han Wu Ming, so Chen Tian was not confident that he could kill him with 100% certainty.

To put it bluntly, Chen Tian and Duan Mu Ya were in a relatively balanced state at this time. Both knew that neither could subdue the other, and both relied on each other, not wanting to break the current balance, so they avoided talking about it and pretended to be in harmony.

But then again, although this was the case, Chen Tian was constantly on guard against Duan Mu Ya in his heart, and Chen Tian believed that Duan Mu Ya was definitely also on guard against him.

And through his performance in the valley just now, Chen Tian knew that this Duan Mu Ya must have other life-saving means. It was obviously impossible to restrain him with the 'Immortal Trapping Restriction'.

So on the way to the small hill, Chen Tian was also thinking quickly in his heart, thinking about how he should deal with Duan Mu Ya later.

"Hey, little kid, tell me, what exactly do we cultivators cultivate when we defy the heavens to cultivate immortality?" Seeing Chen Tian's frown, Duan Mu Ya said faintly at this time.

And his words immediately disrupted Chen Tian's thoughts. After a little thought, Chen Tian replied: "Of course, it is cultivating life, cultivating luck, cultivating cause, cultivating effect, and cultivating all the great avenues of the world."

"Wrong!" But after hearing Chen Tian's answer, Duan Mu Ya smiled indifferently and shook his head: "These things are all lies passed down from ancient times, all deceptive. If it were really that simple, then that would be great."

"Hmm?"

And after hearing Chen Tian's question, Duan Mu Ya's face returned to his previous grinning expression, and he perfunctorily said: "Hehe, it's nothing, you don't need to understand now, it's most important to improve your strength. When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will naturally understand what you should understand, don't rush for a while."

Chen Tian's brows furrowed even deeper. Of course, he could hear that this old geezer's words had a hidden meaning, but unfortunately, he just wouldn't tell you, but kept you hanging.

However, Chen Tian would not ask him anything else. After all, this old guy was very cunning. Maybe he said these words deliberately to lure Chen Tian, so that Chen Tian would be confused and fall into another trap again.

Chen Tian was convinced by Duan Mu Ya. Although he had been trapped in this Fallen Immortal Valley for thousands of years, his scheming was still unfathomable. Chen Tian was almost unable to distinguish which of his words was true and which was false.

Therefore, Chen Tian simply ignored him and continued to fly forward with a gloomy face.

Because the spiritual power in the entire Fallen Immortal Valley was violent, Chen Tian couldn't maximize his speed, but flew forward slowly and cautiously.

Although the speed had decreased a lot, it was safer.

After flying for about a day, Chen Tian finally saw the small hill where Duan Mu Ya hid his treasure in the distance.

At first, because the distance was too far, Chen Tian could only roughly identify its appearance, standing on the earth like a cone. That's why Chen Tian mistakenly thought it was a 'small hill'.

However, when he flew closer, Chen Tian was shocked to find that this was not a small hill at all, but a towering giant tower!

This giant tower was a hundred zhang tall, divided into four floors, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, standing on the loess.

Although the shape of this giant tower looked no different from an ordinary temple tower, if you observed carefully, you would be shocked to find that the outer wall of the giant tower was actually piled with human skulls.

The human heads piled on the bottom three floors of the giant tower had long been decayed and turned into pale white skulls. Some skulls were even yellowed by the wind and sun due to their age.

In fact, this was still normal. What really made Chen Tian's scalp tingle was the top floor.

Although this layer of outer wall was also covered with human heads, most of the human heads still had intact skin and flesh, lifelike, but the hollow and lifeless eyes shed two lines of blood and tears, looking into the distance with vicissitudes and sorrow.

Although these people were already dead, Chen Tian could still feel a wave of extremely majestic pressure radiating from their heads, sweeping around like a hurricane!
