Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Originally, Patriarch Motian was still hesitating whether or not to speak, but since Chen Tian had already asked, he had no choice but to make up his mind. He turned around to face Chen Tian and hesitated, "Sect Master, since coming out of the Brahma Sect, there is one thing that this old man finds very strange, and it's about your cultivation base."

"My cultivation base?" Chen Tian frowned and said in a cold voice, "What's wrong with my cultivation base? Is there a problem?"

"It's like this." Patriarch Motian took a deep breath and straightened out his thoughts before saying, "This old man has a feeling, and maybe this feeling is wrong, but I still have to say it. That is, Sect Master, is your cultivation base declining?"

Although Patriarch Motian used a questioning tone in consideration, he was very certain in his heart that Chen Tian's cultivation base had been declining step by step since he left the Brahma Sect. From the original late stage of the凝海 realm, it has been declining to the current early stage of the 凝海 realm, and there is still a tendency to continue declining.

This greatly exceeded Patriarch Motian's expectations. He couldn't figure out why such a change would occur, so he had to bite the bullet and directly ask Chen Tian.

After all, the reason why Patriarch Motian had joined Chen Tian was because he valued Chen Tian's strength and potential, so that he could protect his disciples from harm after his death.

But if his guess was correct and Chen Tian's cultivation base was indeed declining step by step, then Patriarch Motian felt it was necessary to re-examine his cooperation with Chen Tian.

It can be said that at this moment, Patriarch Motian had a slight intention of betrayal.

Once he realized that Chen Tian did not have that kind of shocking potential, then Patriarch Motian might really abandon Chen Tian and seek another way out.

But then again, Patriarch Motian still trusted Chen Tian from the bottom of his heart, so he did not completely tear his face apart, but used a roundabout method to test Chen Tian.

After hearing Patriarch Motian's words, Chen Tian couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart. He knew that what was coming would eventually come.

If he couldn't show Patriarch Motian enough strength at this time, then Patriarch Motian would become more and more suspicious of Chen Tian, and even betray him.

This was a scene that Chen Tian didn't want to see, so after closing his eyes and pondering for a while, he said to Patriarch Motian with a faint smile, "Since Senior has doubts about Junior's strength, then Junior has no choice but to prove it. Please watch carefully, Senior."

After saying that, the expression on Chen Tian's face changed. After silently reciting a passage of incantation, a curtain of light composed of gold, cyan, and red suddenly burst out from his body and swept towards Patriarch Motian like a storm.

This curtain of light was very strange. It seemed to contain extremely powerful power. When it pressed on Patriarch Motian's body, it instantly made him feel an unprecedented pressure, making him so frightened that he couldn't move at all, and he stood there shivering.

This was a difficult experience to describe. Even though Patriarch Motian had already reached the early stage of the 凝海 realm, in the face of this power, he felt that he had shrunk tens of thousands of times, as insignificant as an ant, unable to do anything in the face of the stormy sky.

However, even so, Patriarch Motian was still kneeling on the ground, cold sweat soaking his back and forehead, and dripping onto the ground along his trembling hands.

Seeing this, Chen Tian hurriedly took a step forward and helped Patriarch Motian, who was still in a state of shock, up and smiled at him, "Senior, please don't blame me. Junior just wanted to prove something. If there is any offense, please forgive me, Senior."

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Patriarch Motian seemed to wake up from a nightmare and hurriedly waved his hand, "Sect Master, you are too kind. This old man was the first to question the Sect Master's strength. All the blame should be borne by this old man. How can the Sect Master be at fault?"

Chen Tian nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and then he chuckled, "Now, has Senior seen clearly how Junior's strength is?"

Hearing this, Patriarch Motian's body couldn't help but tremble violently again, as if he had recalled the terrifying experience just now, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It seems that this old man was indeed overthinking it. The Sect Master's strength is unfathomable. This old man will work hard for the Immortal Demon Sect together with all the disciples in the future."

"That's good." At this time, Chen Tian showed a generous look, patted Patriarch Motian on the shoulder, and smiled, "In that case, Senior, please go and get busy. During the days when I'm not here, I will have to rely on you."

After a short recovery, Patriarch Motian finally completely recovered from the shock just now and nodded solemnly to Chen Tian, "Sect Master, don't worry, leave everything to this old man. If there is any mistake, this old man will surely come to see you with his head!"

This oath-like statement also showed that Patriarch Motian had completely recognized Chen Tian and was willing to risk his life for him.

Chen Tian smiled slightly when he saw this, and then watched Patriarch Motian leave.

However, just as Patriarch Motian had just walked out of Chen Tian's room, Chen Tian's originally rosy complexion instantly turned pale, and then he opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Tian hurriedly closed his eyes and sat down to adjust his breathing and recuperate.

After an hour, Chen Tian's complexion finally improved, and the originally chaotic aura in his body was temporarily suppressed.

After wiping away the bloodstains that had overflowed from the corner of his mouth and had not completely dried, Chen Tian smiled bitterly and muttered to himself, "It seems that forcibly increasing my power just now has indeed caused great damage to my meridians, but fortunately, I temporarily concealed it from that Patriarch Motian. All of this is worth it."

It turned out that the aura that Chen Tian had just revealed was all fake, and he was seriously injured because of it.

However, Chen Tian had no time to pay attention to these things. After taking a deep breath, his body suddenly turned into a golden stream of light and flew out of the cave. Chen Tian was planning to leave early, after all, if he stayed any longer, he would be in danger of being exposed at any time, so it was better to leave sooner rather than later.

However, just as Chen Tian had just set off, Han Wuming and Patriarch Motian simultaneously stopped what they were doing and looked at his departing figure from afar, their eyes flickering, and they each began to calculate in their hearts.
