Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Chen Tian strode forward two steps and arrived beside Lan Xian. Looking at the incredibly large mountain protection formation, he asked with a puzzled expression, "Master First Seat, how are we going to get in?"

Lan Xian smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "You just wait here."

With that, Lan Xian gently flicked her white lotus root-like arm, and a verdant jade Ruyi appeared in her hand.

Then, Lan Xian raised the jade Ruyi and chanted an incantation. Soon, a gentle, clear light emanated from the jade Ruyi, shining into the colorful light screen.

Instantly, the light screen was illuminated by the clear light, creating a light tunnel about ten feet wide, just enough for two people to pass through.

Chen Tian was greatly surprised by this sight.

However, Lan Xian, as if accustomed to such things, first retracted the jade Ruyi, then smiled slightly at Chen Tian and said, "Alright, let's go."

Chen Tian nodded and followed behind Lan Xian, stepping into the dense light screen.

After passing through the light screen, a different scene unfolded before Chen Tian's eyes.

All around were green mountains and clear waters, the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and swirling mist. A gentle breeze blew, and even the air seemed to contain an incomparably fresh spiritual energy. Just a single breath could invigorate the spirit; it was truly a paradise.

Compared to the Ruo Song Courtyard, it was truly like comparing heaven and earth.

"What do you think of this place?" Lan Xian asked with a smiling face, looking at Chen Tian's somewhat dazed appearance.

Chen Tian immediately snapped back to his senses and exclaimed in surprise, "It's simply beautiful."

Lan Xian seemed extremely pleased with Chen Tian's answer. After smiling, she led him forward.

They had only taken a few steps when a somewhat childish figure pounced over, exclaiming in an extremely excited tone, "Brother Tian..."

Hearing this, Chen Tian looked in the direction of the voice. It was none other than Xiao Long.

Xiao Long rushed into Chen Tian's arms at an extremely fast speed, his little face constantly rubbing against Chen Tian's clothes, as if wanting to stay glued to Chen Tian.

Seeing Xiao Long acting so spoiled, Chen Tian couldn't help but give Lan Xian an awkward smile.

Lan Xian seemed to understand their feelings and smiled, "Alright, you two can catch up for a while. I'll go ahead. But there's one thing: from now on, without my orders, no disciple of the Linlang Courtyard can step outside the mountain protection formation, understand?"

When she spoke the last half of the sentence, Lan Xian's face lost its smile and became incomparably serious.

Seeing this, Chen Tian's heart trembled, and he quickly nodded to show that he understood.

Only then did Lan Xian reveal a smile again. She summoned a cloud with her fair hand and soared into the sky.

But at this moment, Chen Tian couldn't help but turn his head to look at the huge colorful light screen, his mind racing, wondering what he was thinking.

"Brother Tian, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Xiao Long raised his head and looked at Chen Tian with a puzzled expression.

Hearing this, Chen Tian smiled, put away his thoughts, and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. By the way, Xiao Long, why didn't I see you over at the plaza earlier? Don't you have to participate in the competition today?"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Xiao Long's cheeks puffed up, and he said as if he was very angry, "Hey, don't even mention it. This year, Master First Seat didn't let me participate at all. She only let me go over there to watch the excitement, and then she told me to come back."

"Hmm, what's going on?" Chen Tian asked with some confusion after hearing this.

"Who knows?" Xiao Long shook his head and said, "Anyway, Master doesn't let me participate in the competition, and not only me, but some other senior brothers with good aptitudes aren't allowed to go either. It's really frustrating us to death."

At this time, Xiao Long finally released Chen Tian's body, crossed his arms, and looked depressed and aggrieved.

But after hearing this, Chen Tian suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart.

And as soon as this unease arose, it became even more intense, causing Chen Tian's state of mind to become irritable.

He always felt that something was about to happen.

"Brother Tian, what's wrong? You've been spacing out since just now?"

Xiao Long didn't know what Chen Tian was thinking and tilted his head innocently to ask.

After hearing Xiao Long's words, Chen Tian seemed to have finally made a decision in his heart and said with a serious face, "Xiao Long, no, we must leave the Immortal Feather Sect tonight."

"Ah, Brother Tian, why is that? We finally got together, why do you want us to leave the Immortal Feather Sect?" Xiao Long was startled by Chen Tian's words.

Chen Tian didn't explain, but said with a serious expression, "Xiao Long, if you are still willing to follow me, then don't ask anything. Come with me tonight, okay?"

Xiao Long was confused, but he looked at Chen Tian's expression and realized that he wasn't joking. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Tian, I trust you."

Although Chen Tian and Xiao Long hadn't seen each other for a long time, Xiao Long still trusted Chen Tian immensely.

And this kind of feeling between the two of them might be called a bond.

This was also the reason why Chen Tian was called a good-for-nothing, but he had always persevered. He wanted to protect Xiao Long.

After that, Xiao Long led Chen Tian to his room.

Along the way, Xiao Long constantly told Chen Tian about the happy things he had encountered, appearing particularly excited.

Although Chen Tian seemed to be listening quietly, in his heart, his thoughts were constantly churning.

Other people must think that Chen Tian's idea of wanting to escape from the Immortal Feather Sect was very silly.

But only Chen Tian himself knew that a storm was coming, the world was changing, and if he didn't escape now, then his situation would become very dangerous.

Originally, according to Chen Tian's plan, after defeating Pan Xingyu in the first match, he would voluntarily admit defeat in the second match, then go to find Lan Wu and apply for a job outside the Immortal Feather Sect on the grounds that his aptitude was low and he was no longer suitable for cultivating immortality, and then slowly plot to take Xiao Long back and finally disappear without a trace.

This was Chen Tian's most ideal plan, and in fact, he was doing just that.

However, just as the plan was halfway completed, an unexpected accident occurred, which was that Chen Tian underestimated the huge sensation that his talent in making talismans would cause.

Not only did it attract the competition between Real Person Lan Yang and that woman surnamed Yao, but in the end, he was also assigned to the Linlang Courtyard.

To be honest, this greatly exceeded Chen Tian's expectations and disrupted his plans.

If it were someone else, they might have exclaimed in luck at this time, and would be able to live happily in the Immortal Feather Sect in the future.

However, Chen Tian didn't think so. On the contrary, he felt that a huge danger was quietly approaching.

He was afraid that the Immortal Feather Sect would suffer a great calamity.
