Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

As soon as the old man with a face full of wrinkles came out, he bent down to Cao Fangcun and then asked with a puzzled expression, "Young Master, that jade slip is the only thing we've found that's related to the Ancient Immortal Realm. Is it really okay to give it to this kid so easily?"

Hearing this, Cao Fangcun, who originally had a refined air about him, suddenly changed his entire demeanor, becoming gloomy and stern. He frowned, looked in the direction where Chen Tian disappeared, and said in an icy tone, "Ling Nu, you are also an old servant of our Cao family. Have you ever seen a cultivator who can trigger a Heavenly Tribulation?"

"This…"

The old man with a face full of wrinkles pondered for a moment, then said with confusion, "As far as this old servant knows, unless an immortal from the Ancient Immortal Realm has cultivated some kind of powerful immortal technique, or a magic weapon of immense power is born, will a Heavenly Tribulation be triggered. Ordinary cultivators will not have a Heavenly Tribulation descend upon them. Especially since the fall of the Ancient Immortal Realm, for tens of thousands of years, no one has ever been heard of triggering a Heavenly Tribulation."

"That's right, that's exactly it."

After hearing this, Cao Fangcun retracted his gaze and then looked at the old man with a face full of wrinkles, his eyes flashing. "A Heavenly Tribulation that hasn't appeared for tens of thousands of years is now actually manifesting on an ordinary cultivator. Don't you find such a thing extremely strange?"

Hearing this, the old man's expression couldn't help but turn horrified, and he nodded, "Indeed, this old servant has also never seen such an incredible thing happen before."

Cao Fangcun sighed and said, "Although it's unclear why this is happening, it also shows that this child's origins are extraordinary, and his future prospects are definitely limitless. Such a person is exactly the kind of person our Cao family wants to befriend. What does it matter if we give away a mere jade slip from the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

Hearing Cao Fangcun's words, the old man seemed to suddenly understand, and he quickly echoed, "Young Master is far-sighted, this old servant was confused. That's right, using a bone slip that we can't use to exchange for this kid's favor is a deal that we've profited from."

Seeing that the old man had finally understood his intention, a hint of a smile appeared on Cao Fangcun's face, and he nodded.

Just then, the old man seemed to have thought of something else and asked, "By the way, Young Master, that kid said just now that he wanted to enter that ancient ruin to explore it. What should we do about this request?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, the smile on Cao Fangcun's face suddenly froze. He frowned, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, as if he was thinking about something.

"Don't worry about this for now. Let's see if that kid can cultivate to the凝海境 Ninghai Realm." After a long while, he spoke again, "If he can't, then that means his future is just so-so, and our Cao family doesn't need to pay attention to him. But if he can really break through into the Ninghai Realm, then we'll discuss it then."

Obviously, Cao Fangcun still had some doubts about Chen Tian's strength.

"Alright, everything will be arranged according to Young Master's instructions." After hearing Cao Fangcun's words, the old man nodded.

Cao Fangcun pondered in his mind for a while, and finally, he shook his head slightly and waved his hand, "Alright, there's nothing else for you to do here. Go home first, I still want to stay here for a while."

… … … … …

On the other side, after coming out of Cao Fangcun's place, Chen Tian flew straight ahead.

However, Chen Tian's flight path was quite strange, sometimes heading south, sometimes heading north, and sometimes heading west.

It wasn't until Chen Tian confirmed that there was no one following him that he finally relaxed, turned around, and flew in the direction of the Immortal Feather Sect.

Although he felt extremely puzzled about the sudden appearance of Cao Fangcun, according to Chen Tian's judgment, he was certain that this person had no intention of harming him.

However, out of Chen Tian's usual caution, he still tested the waters a bit and confirmed that no one was following him before he felt relieved and flew back.

However, all the way, Chen Tian kept his hand tightly gripping his chest, where the jade slip that Cao Fangcun had given him was placed.

To be honest, Chen Tian's mood at this time was very excited, because he really didn't expect that this time out, he would be able to obtain a treasure that was extremely important to him.

Just as Cao Fangcun had said, this red jade slip had no effect on other people, but for Chen Tian, it could save his life.

Chen Tian also deeply understood this point, so all the way, he was extremely careful with this jade slip, as if he was afraid of losing it.

This time, Chen Tian had already made all the preparations and began to officially break through.

… … … … … …

Three days later, a burst of shaking occurred on the dilapidated sect-protecting illusion array of the Immortal Feather Sect, followed by a semi-transparent ball of light flying in.

As soon as this ball of light came in, it flew rapidly towards the backyard of the Immortal Feather Sect.

In the backyard of the Immortal Feather Sect, inside the spirit beast garden, Chen Tian's physical body was sitting there cross-legged with his eyes closed.

If one observed carefully, one could find that although Chen Tian's breathing was normal at this time, he did not have any consciousness, as if he was asleep.

And just at this moment, the ball of light finally flew over and plunged into Chen Tian's body.

A strange phenomenon appeared. As soon as this ball of light entered Chen Tian's body, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

However, after opening his eyes, Chen Tian's face instantly turned pale, and he revealed an extremely painful expression.

In a panic, Chen Tian hurriedly took out several spirit pills from his storage ring and swallowed them all without even looking.

After these pills turned into streams of abundant spiritual power and merged into Chen Tian's body, his complexion improved somewhat.

However, at this time, Chen Tian smiled wryly again: "As expected, forcibly using the 'Soul Out of Body' technique with the cultivation of the Transformation Spring Realm consumes too much spiritual power. If I had come back any later, I'm afraid something really would have happened."

It turned out that Chen Tian had forcibly used the 'Soul Out of Body' technique, causing the spiritual power in his body to be emptied.

After resting for a while, Chen Tian finally fully recovered, and at this time, he reached into his chest and took out the red jade slip.
