Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

From the moment Chen Tian embarked on the path of cultivation, he understood the deceit and treachery within the cultivation world. After countless storms, he could switch his expression to be unpredictable.

Therefore, under his feigned surprise, even though the mad old man's cultivation was profound, he didn't see any flaws.

The mad old man smiled slightly at Chen Tian and began to explain: "In the distant past, there were only three races in the world: the Immortal Race, the Demon Race, and the Monster Race.

Among these three races, the Immortal Race was the strongest. They were born proficient in various spells and possessed the innate talent of three heads and six arms. Under their suppression, the Monster Race could only survive in a corner, begging for survival. The Demon Race was even more miserable, directly taken as slaves by the Immortal Race, to be driven by them for eternity."

"What? There's such a history? This disciple's eyes have truly been opened."

Although Chen Tian already knew this history, in order to cooperate with the mad old man, he pretended to be extremely surprised, and asked with great interest: "What happened later? What happened after that?"

Looking at Chen Tian's curious and surprised appearance, a hint of complacency flashed in the mad old man's heart, and he slowly said: "Because of the strength of the Immortal Race, it eventually aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of the other two races. Finally, they joined forces, and pulled in the then very weak Human Race, to jointly rebel against the rule of the Immortal Race. Thus, a war that lasted a long time began."

Speaking of this, the mad old man's eyes flashed with starlight, as if he was extremely excited about the vast but magnificent war at that time.

After a long while, he calmed down and continued: "No one can imagine how fierce and tragic the battle was at that time, but the final result shocked everyone. Under the joint resistance of the Human, Demon, and Monster races, the once invincible Immortal Race was completely destroyed."

"What? The powerful Immortal Race was destroyed?" Hearing this, Chen Tian deliberately showed a look of shock.

The mad old man nodded and said: "That's right. According to the information we later obtained, in that Immortal Extermination War, all the Immortal Race were slaughtered, and there were no survivors."

"Oh, so that's how it is," Chen Tian responded softly.

If Chen Tian hadn't met Jin Chi in the Fallen Immortal Valley, he might have really believed the mad old man's words that the Immortal Race had been completely slaughtered.

However, Chen Tian knew that this was actually wrong.

In that tragic slaughter, the Immortal Race concentrated its last strength and sent the unborn Jin Chi to this remote Qian Yuan Continent.

So, the Immortal Race was not completely extinct. Jin Chi, carrying endless anger, was about to carry out a revenge plan against everyone.

At this time, the mad old man also seemed to be immersed in that magnificent and great era, unable to calm down for a long time. Therefore, after hearing Chen Tian's question, his body trembled, and he finally came back to his senses.

Smiling bitterly, the mad old man looked at Chen Tian with a bit more affection, and smiled: "Our Human Race, in the beginning, imitated the magical talents of the Immortal Race to start cultivating. Therefore, after the Immortal Race was destroyed, our Human Race replaced them, using 'Immortal' as the title, and quickly rose to become one of the new three races alongside the Demon Race and the Monster Race. And the place where the strong Human Race lived at that time was called the Ancient Immortal Realm."

"Huh?"

Chen Tian finally heard the three words 'Ancient Immortal Realm' from the mad old man's mouth again. After humming slightly for a while, he said: "So, the Ancient Immortal Realm is actually the place where our human powerhouses live?"

"That's right," the mad old man nodded and said with a kind smile: "The Ancient Immortal Realm was once called the Upper Realm by us. In fact, in the entire universe, there are countless planets similar to our Qian Yuan Continent, but there is only one Ancient Immortal Realm. After the strong on each planet cultivate to a certain level, they will naturally ascend to the Ancient Immortal Realm, thus becoming a 'Immortal' admired by everyone, but..."

Seeming to have thought of something, the mad old man's voice stopped abruptly, and at the same time, his eyes showed endless puzzlement.

Chen Tian had never seen the mad old man show such an appearance, and he was even more curious in his heart. He hurriedly asked: "Master, what's wrong? Could it be that later, something happened in the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

Chen Tian believed that if the Ancient Immortal Realm was still intact, then people today would definitely know of its existence.

But now, not only has no one heard of the Ancient Immortal Realm, but it is impossible to find any words or phrases about the Ancient Immortal Realm in the classics. The meaning of this is not quite right.

Therefore, Chen Tian guessed that something must have happened in the Ancient Immortal Realm.

And after hearing Chen Tian's assumption, the mad old man's original shocked expression suddenly turned into a strong surprise, constantly looking at Chen Tian with a smile in his eyes, as if he wanted to see Chen Tian from the inside out.

Chen Tian was a little embarrassed by the mad old man's scorching gaze. He twisted his body and said with a wry smile: "Master, what's wrong with you? Could it be that there is something wrong with this disciple?"

"No, there is nothing wrong with you," the mad old man said with bright eyes and a big laugh: "It's just that I'm happy in my heart."

"Uh? What is Master happy about?" Chen Tian's doubts were even greater, and he asked in confusion.

At this time, the mad old man finally took his gaze back from Chen Tian, ​​touched his white beard, and said with a smile on his face: "I am happy because of you."

"What? Because of me?" Chen Tian pointed to himself with his right hand and said in surprise: "Master, what do you mean? This disciple is really confused."

Looking at Chen Tian's appearance, the mad old man laughed again: "Let me tell you this, I have taken you, such a talented person, as a disciple, it is really like finding a treasure, so how can I not be happy."

The mad old man's words were implicitly praising Chen Tian.

After hearing this, Chen Tian's face actually showed a hint of shyness for the first time, and he hurriedly changed the subject: "Okay, Master, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the Ancient Immortal Realm, what happened?"

However, after hearing Chen Tian's words, the mad old man, who was originally full of smiles, seemed to have touched something in his heart, and his face suddenly turned gloomy, like a pool of cold water!
