Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Looking at the smooth skin and powerful arms, Erwa's father stared at Chen Tian in disbelief and asked, "Brother Chen, what's going on here?"

Before Chen Tian, a wooden table filled with wine utensils and two bamboo chairs had reappeared. Chen Tian sat in one of the chairs, raised the wine pot, shook it for a while, and smiled slightly, "Brother Zhang, have you forgotten that I am a deity?"

"Oh, my! My fault! It's my old age making me confused. I forgot that Brother Chen is a deity, and his magic power must be incredibly strong!" Erwa's father seemed to remember something, smacked his forehead, and gave Chen Tian an embarrassed smile.

Chen Tian laughed heartily upon hearing this, then produced two more wine cups, filled them each, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang, with such a beautiful scene and fine wine before us, why don't we enjoy ourselves and sit down for a good drink?"

"Yes, that's right, we must have a good drink."

Erwa's father knew his time was running out, so he had no more reservations. He laughed heartily, sat down in front of Chen Tian, raised his glass, and emptied it in one go.

Chen Tian smiled when he saw this. As soon as he put down his glass, Chen Tian picked up the wine pot and immediately refilled it for him.

Seeing this scene, Erwa's father and Chen Tian exchanged a look, and then they both laughed heartily.

After that, the two of them drank and chatted, starting from when they first met and continuing to the present.

Especially when Erwa's father mentioned Erwa, a hint of pride appeared on his face, as if he was extremely satisfied with his son.

Seeing Erwa's father so happy, Chen Tian couldn't help but feel happy too, nodding and agreeing as he drank his wine.

Only occasionally would Chen Tian glance at the hourglass hanging above Erwa's father's head.

Although the hourglass dripped very slowly, after two or three hours, it finally had only a little bit left. If even these grains of sand were to finish dripping, then Erwa's father's life would come to an end.

Seeing this, the smile on Chen Tian's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a look of melancholy.

Erwa's father was still animatedly recalling the past between them, but suddenly, he saw Chen Tian's expression dimming. His heart skipped a beat, and as if he also felt something, he sighed and said with a wry smile, "Brother Chen, is my time up?"

Hearing this, Chen Tian seemed to have made up his mind. He looked up at him and said, "Brother Zhang, if you are willing, I can make an exception for you and forcibly extend your lifespan by two years. This is the most I can do at the moment."

Hearing Chen Tian say that he could help him extend his life by two years, a flash of surprise burst out in Erwa's father's eyes. However, very quickly, the light in his eyes slowly dimmed and returned to calm. He shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, thank you for your kindness, but let's forget about extending my life."

"Why?" Chen Tian seemed a little surprised that Erwa's father refused.

At this time, Erwa's father's expression was very calm. On his face, you couldn't see joy or sorrow. He said indifferently, "Everything I should have experienced in this life, I have already experienced. Especially my son, Erwa, seeing how successful he is now, there is nothing I can worry about anymore. To be born crying and then die smiling, isn't that the happiest life a person can have?"

"To be born crying, to die smiling!"

After saying that, Erwa's father's figure slowly faded away with a smiling face, until it finally disappeared completely.

At the same time, the surrounding forests, grasslands, and even the wooden table and fine wine all disappeared together.

At this time, Chen Tian also came back to his senses from his previous trance. After sighing, he extended two fingers and lightly tapped the kitchen knife.

In an instant, this kitchen knife turned into a sharp blade of energy, shooting towards Chen Tian and cutting the thin thread connecting Chen Tian to it.

The karma between Chen Tian and Erwa's father was severed.

Looking at Chen Tian again, only the last thick karmic thread remained. As long as he cut it off, then Chen Tian could try to break through to the凝海境 (Ning Hai Realm).

However, Chen Tian knew that now was not the time to consider these things. With a flash, he left this place.

Chen Tian's soul slowly ascended, floating above the house. Suddenly, a mournful cry came from below.

It seemed that Erwa had already discovered that his father had died.

Hearing this cry, Chen Tian's mood seemed to be a little low. After all, when he first came to Cailan Village to experience the mortal world, Erwa's father had given him a lot of help.

Chen Tian believed that if his identity was not a cultivator, but just a mortal, then he and Erwa's father could definitely have become good brothers.

However, all of this was just Chen Tian's wishful thinking.

Chen Tian was a cultivator fighting against the heavens. Since he embarked on this path, it was an irreversible fact.

So, after thinking about this, Chen Tian's face returned to firmness, and with a move, he flew away at high speed.

Now that things here were over, Chen Tian dared not delay any longer. He had already made up his mind to return to the仙羽宗 (Xianyu Sect) as soon as possible, cut off the last karmic thread, and break through to the Ning Hai Realm without any worries.

Thinking this, Chen Tian released all his speed and flew back to the Xianyu Sect at an incredible pace.

At this time, the long night was ongoing, and the season of spring and summer transition was a time of unpredictable weather.

Just a moment ago, the bright moon was in the sky, but now, a dark cloud floated over from nowhere, covering the starry sky and moon. After a while of brewing, a drizzling rain began to fall.

The spring rain was slightly cold, hitting people's faces with an icy chill.

However, Chen Tian was not afraid at all. With a slight movement of spiritual power within his body, the cold air was instantly evaporated.

But just as Chen Tian was flying back at full speed, suddenly, he seemed to sense something. His body stopped abruptly, and he coldly shouted into the dark night sky below, "Who is hiding there?"
