Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"Blood Demon Sect? Sect Master?"

However, upon hearing Chen Tian's words, one of them wore a strange expression, questioning, "Fellow Daoist, are you mistaken? We are not members of the Blood Demon Sect, nor are we here to seek revenge for their Sect Master."

"Eh..."

Hearing this person's words, Chen Tian's expression suddenly froze. After pondering for a moment, he frowned and asked, "What business do you have with this Chen Tian?"

"Please forgive us, Fellow Daoist, but our orders are to personally convey the message to Chen Tian, Fellow Daoist Chen. We will not disclose it to anyone else." The leader looked troubled and spoke with slight apology.

Hearing this, Chen Tian had some understanding in his heart. Clearly, these people were not here with malicious intent; perhaps they were truly here to convey something important.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian finally stopped concealing and said to the man, "Alright, just say what you need to say. I am Chen Tian."

"What? You are Chen Tian?" The leader clearly didn't believe it, staring at Chen Tian with a suspicious gaze, sizing him up.

At the same time, the other two red-robed men also stepped forward, looking at Chen Tian with similar surprise and doubt.

Facing the three's suspicious gazes, Chen Tian's brows suddenly furrowed, and he said coldly, "Since I dare to state my name, then it is definitely not false. What else do you doubt?"

"This..." Seeing Chen Tian's slightly angry expression, the leader chuckled awkwardly, "It's not that we don't trust you, Fellow Daoist, but the matter we need to convey is extremely important. If it's not the person himself, we won't say it. So..."

Speaking to this point, the man stopped, the embarrassment on his face growing thicker.

Just then, the tall, thin red-robed cultivator beside him seemed to think of something and quickly said, "Big Brother, didn't the Hierarch give us something when we came? He said we could use it to identify whether the person we're looking for is Chen Tian, so why don't you take it out and try it."

Hearing this reminder, the leader seemed to suddenly realize something, nodded, and immediately took out a black stone from his chest.

The stone was pitch black, with honeycomb-like holes all over it, dense and unsightly.

But after the man took out the black stone, he handed it to Chen Tian and said, "Please assist us in verifying your identity, Fellow Daoist."

Looking at the black stone being offered, Chen Tian didn't move. Instead, he stared at it deeply before looking up at the man and saying, "What a joke. I've already said I'm Chen Tian, so why should I prove anything to you? Alright, if there's nothing else, please leave and don't delay my iron refining."

After issuing this order to leave, Chen Tian ignored them and turned to walk towards the iron shed beside him.

"If Fellow Daoist is truly Chen Tian, then he should be trying to break through to the凝海境 (Níng Hǎi Jìng) - Ocean Condensing Realm, right now, shouldn't he?"

Just as Chen Tian turned around, the leader suddenly shouted from behind.

Hearing this, Chen Tian's body paused slightly, but he remained unmoved and continued walking towards the iron shed.

"Our Hierarch said that he will bestow great benefits upon Chen Tian, Fellow Daoist, to help him break through to the凝海境 (Níng Hǎi Jìng) - Ocean Condensing Realm! Aren't you tempted by these things, Fellow Daoist?"

At this moment, the second sentence came again.

Hearing this, Chen Tian finally stopped, his eyes flickering almost imperceptibly. Then, he turned around, walked up to the man, held out his hand, and said calmly, "Give me the stone."

Seeing Chen Tian's appearance, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on the man's face, "Actually, I already believe that you are Chen Tian, but due to the rules, I still ask that you prove your identity."

After this short period of interaction, this person was already very certain that the man in front of him must be Chen Tian, but because of his duty, everything still had to be done according to the rules.

"It doesn't matter, I can understand your difficulties and won't be angry about it." Chen Tian's expression remained calm.

"I'm relieved that you are so understanding, Fellow Daoist."

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the man breathed a sigh of relief, then handed over the black stone in his hand, "As long as you hold this stone, it will naturally identify your identity."

"Eh..."

Hearing this, Chen Tian was a little curious. He stretched out his right hand, took the stone, and held it in his hand.

And just as Chen Tian held the black stone, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred.

It was seen that the three race avatars in Chen Tian's body, which were originally in a state of deep sleep, now seemed to be summoned by this black stone, and at the same time opened their eyes. Beams of red, gold, and cyan light emanated from their bodies and transmitted to the stone.

In just a short moment, the originally unremarkable, even ugly black stone suddenly refracted strands of beautiful light, transforming it into an eye-catching gem.

Seeing this, Chen Tian was extremely surprised. Because he could clearly sense that when he first held the stone, an extremely strong and strange suction force erupted from the dense small pits on it, causing the three race avatars in his body, who were in deep sleep, to awaken and cause such a strange phenomenon.

'What exactly is going on?'

'Could it be that the secret of me possessing the three race avatars has been discovered?'

In an instant, one question after another flooded Chen Tian's mind.

Just as Chen Tian was pondering this, the faces of the three men suddenly revealed endless joy, because they could finally confirm that the person in front of them was the Chen Tian they were looking for.

After a moment of silence, Chen Tian returned the strange black stone to them. At the same time, the awakened three race avatars once again fell into silence.

Seeing this, Chen Tian frowned, but did not show any strange expression. He said to them indifferently, "Alright, now you should tell me, what exactly is the matter that you've come to Chen for?"
