Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Faced with Chen Tian's choice, the Red-Robed Venerable was truly puzzled, so he intended to ask Chen Tian the reason.

However, before he could speak, Chen Tian preemptively saw through his intention, blocking his words with a smile, and said, "Just like I said before, I really can't stand being restrained, so I don't plan to join your alliance. As for other reasons, please don't ask any further, seniors."

Chen Tian's tone sounded like a plea at first, but upon closer listening, one would discover that it contained an undeniable sense of majesty. Even the Red and Blue Venerables couldn't help but be startled by this majesty. They knew that Chen Tian didn't want others to continue probing his thoughts.

'This child is very unusual!' The Red and Blue Venerables exchanged a glance and came to the same conclusion.

However, since Chen Tian had repeatedly stated his position, they couldn't force him any further, so they abandoned the idea of having Chen Tian join the Immortal Cultivation Alliance.

However, at this moment, the Red-Robed Venerable seemed to have thought of something. He waved his sleeve, and a ball of red spiritual light flew out rapidly from his cuff, shooting towards Chen Tian.

Chen Tian's eyes narrowed at the sight, but he still reached out and caught the ball of spiritual light.

Chen Tian was taken aback after hearing this. He gently stroked the red jade command arrow with his fingers and immediately felt an earth-shattering, majestic aura.

At this time, the Blue-Robed Venerable finally spoke: "This 'Command Token' is a treasure of our Immortal Cultivation Alliance. The person who possesses the 'Command Token' also indicates that they are our Immortal Cultivation Alliance's most distinguished friend, with a status equivalent to a 'Venerable'. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can use this 'Command Token' to find our Immortal Cultivation Alliance, and they will definitely do their best to help you."

"Is it really appropriate to give such a precious gift to me?"

After hearing the Blue-Robed Venerable's explanation, Chen Tian truly understood the value of this red jade token, which surprised him.

"Haha, there's nothing inappropriate about it. Just feel free to accept it. After all, even if the deal doesn't go through, friendship remains. The door of our Immortal Cultivation Alliance is always open to you. If you change your mind in the future, you can also come to us with this 'Command Token', and we brothers will personally welcome your arrival," the Red-Robed Venerable said with a smile.

After listening to their words, Chen Tian stared at the red jade command arrow for a while, and finally, his brow relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He cupped his fist and said, "Since it's the kind intention of the two seniors, then this junior will accept it."

With that, Chen Tian waved his hand and put the red jade command arrow into his storage ring.

Seeing this scene, the Red and Blue Venerables also showed satisfied expressions and smiled.

Next, after everyone talked for a while, the Red and Blue Venerables bid farewell to Chen Tian. Soon, their figures turned into two streams of light and shot away into the distance.

Chen Tian watched them leave with a smile on his face. But after they had gone far away, his expression instantly turned gloomy, and he frowned, thinking deeply.

"Fellow Daoist, why did you refuse their invitation just now?" Old Ancestor Motian had been silent all this time. Now that he saw the Red and Blue Venerables leave, he flew to Chen Tian's side and asked him.

However, Chen Tian did not answer his question, but said coldly, "This is not the place to talk. Let's continue on our way first."

After saying that, Chen Tian took Qin Yi and Han Wuming and flew forward at an even faster speed than before.

Seeing Chen Tian's panicked appearance, Old Ancestor Motian's doubts grew even greater. With a wave of his hand, he also led his disciples to chase after Chen Tian.

Just after they left, a strange scene appeared. The originally calm sky instantly rippled like a lake, and then two old men, one red and one blue, appeared here.

If everyone was still here, they would definitely be shocked to see these two people, because they were the Red and Blue Venerables who had just left.

It's just that for some reason, they didn't really leave, but secretly lurked nearby until Chen Tian and others left before they revealed themselves.

"Senior Brother, as you guessed, that kid is indeed a bit strange," the Red-Robed Venerable's face no longer had any smile, but was full of solemnity as he looked at the departing figures of Chen Tian and others.

The Blue-Robed Venerable nodded and said, "Yes, when I was talking to this kid just now, I noticed that the cultivation on his body was slowly disappearing in a very strange way. It's just that I wasn't sure whether his strength had really declined, so I used this method to test him, but he really didn't notice us, which is a bit strange."

It turned out that the Blue-Robed Venerable had just noticed that Chen Tian's strength was gradually declining and no longer had the aura of a Nascent Sea Realm cultivator that he had initially revealed.

This was an unusual phenomenon, after all, not long ago, this Chen Tian had killed a Nascent Sea Realm cultivator and instantly subdued the remaining six Nascent Sea Realm cultivators.

The Blue-Robed Venerable thought he had seen it wrong, so he hid here to test and observe Chen Tian's reaction.

If Chen Tian really still possessed a cultivation equivalent to the late stage of the Nascent Sea Realm, then he would definitely have been able to detect them very easily.

But unfortunately, until the final departure, Chen Tian did not discover their existence.

And this just proved the Blue-Robed Venerable's guess that Chen Tian's strength was declining and no longer had the fierce cultivation he had initially shown.

But after confirming this point, it made them even more puzzled.

Who exactly is this Chen Tian?

What exactly happened just now?

How could his strength suddenly soar to an incredible level, but then suddenly drop down again?

So many doubts lingered in the minds of the Red and Blue Venerables, ultimately leading them to the same thought: "This child is definitely not simple!"
