Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The waves on the Ling family's protective illusion array grew larger and more violent, making Chen Tian, Wen Ying, Ling Zizhe, and the others feel as if they were on a turbulent sea.

However, this quickly calmed down. Chen Tian pushed out with both hands, and the protective illusion array seemed to open a door, instantly dissolving a large hole.

Only then did Chen Tian turn to look at Wen Ying and the dumbfounded Ling Zizhe. Without saying a word, he smiled, turned sideways, and flew through the hole into the Ling family, which was protected by the array.

But Wen Ying and Ling Zizhe were clearly still in shock. They looked at each other, and both saw deep fear in each other's eyes.

Although the Ling family was not a large clan, it had accumulated a considerable fortune through generations.

As soon as Chen Tian entered, he was shocked by a vast, endless sea of trees.

Within a radius of several hundred feet, there were all kinds of strange and peculiar trees.

Some of these trees towered into the sky, while others were as short as grass. There were ordinary camphor trees and pine trees, as well as precious Hua Coconut trees and Li Qiong trees. In short, there were all kinds, dazzling the eyes.

However, one thing that made Chen Tian quite curious was that although these trees seemed messy and disorganized, their distribution subtly conformed to natural principles, as if someone had deliberately planted them according to certain rules.

Ordinary people might not be able to see it, but Chen Tian had followed Feng Qingzi in the Fallen Immortal Valley for ten years, learning the arts of talisman-making and formation, and he could see the unusual nature at a glance. There must be something strange about it.

Out of curiosity, Chen Tian carefully observed this sea of trees. After a while, Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Tian finally understood that this sea of trees was also part of the protective illusion array, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to inject energy into the protective illusion array.

Speaking of which, the Ling family's protective illusion array was indeed a very wonderful formation. Unlike other illusion arrays Chen Tian had seen before, it could actually grow continuously by absorbing the spiritual energy secreted by this sea of trees, increasing its power day by day.

In other words, if it was given hundreds of years to grow, then with Chen Tian's current strength, he might not be able to easily break it.

No wonder Ling Zizhe was so proud when he mentioned this illusion array. Based on this alone, this illusion array could be classified as a top-grade formation.

After admiring this wonderful protective array for a while, Chen Tian reluctantly withdrew his gaze, then raised his head and focused his gaze on the distance, because there, several black dots were rushing towards him at high speed.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly, because these black dots were all members of the Ling family.

That's right, Chen Tian had just made such a big commotion. It would be strange if the Ling family hadn't noticed it.

Obviously, these Ling family members were coming with anger, and soon they arrived beside Chen Tian and surrounded him.

"Who are you, kid? How dare you break into our Ling family! Are you looking down on us?"

The leader was an old man in the middle stage of Gathering Spirit, holding a white dragon-carved long sword, scolding Chen Tian with cold eyes.

In addition to this old man, there were ten other Ling family members, three of whom were in the early stage of Gathering Spirit, and the remaining seven were in the Spirit引導 stage.

They came to Chen Tian's side, forming a circle to block Chen Tian in the center.

Chen Tian glanced at these people indifferently, then chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Fellow Daoists, there is no need to be nervous. I am a guest invited by your young master, not someone of unknown origin."

Without giving Chen Tian any chance to explain, at the old man's shout, the other Ling family members responded in unison, and then they set up a sword formation, holding sharp swords and rushing towards Chen Tian from all directions.

Seeing this, Chen Tian shook his head, looking extremely depressed, but he didn't dodge. Just as those people were about to approach, Chen Tian flicked his hands, and a huge spiritual force, like a landslide and tsunami, surged out of his body and spread outward.

Chen Tian had walked in the Fallen Immortal Valley full of violent spiritual energy for a hundred years, and had also absorbed spiritual energy for a hundred years. After half a year of seclusion after coming out, he had already stabilized his cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Gathering Spirit stage. How could these people resist him?

Therefore, under the impact of Chen Tian's spiritual force, the Ling family members' flying swords didn't even touch Chen Tian's clothes, and they were bounced away as if they had hit an invisible wall.

Fortunately, Chen Tian didn't have the intention to kill, otherwise they would have already died.

"Thief, you really came to make trouble. How can our dignified Ling family allow you to be presumptuous! Ling family sword formation, fifth move, Ten Thousand Swords Killing Heart, form the formation!"

These Ling family members didn't seem to have woken up yet. Just after stabilizing their bodies, the old man shouted again.

As soon as his voice fell, the others quickly changed the sword formation, and sharp sword energies unsheathed and floated in the air like cold ice, with the sword tips all pointing at Chen Tian, as if they were about to be slashed down in the next moment.

Seeing this, Chen Tian's eyes couldn't help but turn cold, and he looked around and said, "I, Chen, have already tolerated you once. If you don't stop, then don't blame me for being impolite."

"Hmph, arrogant thief, just be arrogant, you'll have a time to cry later!" The old man didn't seem to take Chen Tian's warning to heart, and after sneering, he shouted to everyone, "Listen to my command… Slash…"

"Qi Bo, cough cough… stop! Cough cough…"

Before the old man could finish saying the word 'slash', a panicked voice with a cough suddenly came from a distance.

Upon hearing this voice, the old man's body trembled violently, and he slowly turned his head as if in disbelief.

"Young… Young Master! Have you really returned? Young Master!"

Sure enough, just as the old man turned his head, he found Ling Zizhe standing weakly behind him.

Seeing Ling Zizhe's sudden appearance, the old man was extremely excited. Just as he was about to rush over, he suddenly stopped and pointed at Wen Ying beside Ling Zizhe and shouted angrily, "Witch, is that you?!"
