Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Just as everyone was sinking into despair, Chen Tian, within the Immortal Feather Sect, remained as calm as ever.

The spiritual infant, formed from the three clans, absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and began to shimmer with a strange light, a blend of gold, cyan, and red.

Simultaneously, the spiritual infant ascended, reaching a position parallel to Chen Tian.

At this moment, Chen Tian and his spiritual infant sat facing each other with their eyes closed, the incredibly violent vortex between them channeling a massive amount of spiritual energy.

Accompanying this phenomenon, the purple clouds in the sky gradually expanded, stretching outwards from the Immortal Feather Sect.

Wherever the purple clouds passed, the mortals below grew even more respectful, prostrating themselves deeply on the ground, as if a powerful force was pressing down, preventing them from standing.

Frankly, these mortals didn't know whom they were kneeling to, but they could sense that this person possessed a majesty akin to the 'Heavenly Dao'.

In that instant, they all felt like insignificant ants, trembling under such immense pressure.

Not just the mortals, but even the cultivators were nearing the end of their rope.

With the spiritual energy within their bodies being frantically plundered, they seemed to lack even the strength to stand, their legs weak, and they couldn't help but kneel in the direction of the Immortal Feather Sect.

The three Transformation Spring Realm cultivators persisted the longest, but eventually, they too had to submit to this terrifying power and knelt down.

It seemed that at this moment, within this region, the Immortal Feather Sect was the master of heaven and earth!

As more and more spiritual energy poured in, the spiritual infant began to rise slowly, passing through the tiled roof and flying into the sky, the three-colored light radiating from its body growing even more intense.

The mortals and cultivators in this place were originally struggling to resist the terrifying majesty that filled them with fear, but then, an even more astonishing phenomenon occurred.

A small figure, shimmering with three-colored light, slowly ascended before their astonished eyes.

If it were just an ordinary small figure, that would be one thing, but miraculously, this small figure in their eyes sometimes revealed a solemn divine image, sometimes a sinister demonic image, and sometimes a bizarre demonic image.

Three completely opposite temperaments actually appeared within the same body, and yet there was an indescribable sense of harmony, which was greatly perplexing.

Even the three Transformation Spring Realm cultivators had never seen such a strange phenomenon.

So the small figure tilted his head slightly, looked at the cultivators waiting here, and smiled.

Although this smile was as innocent as a baby's, in the eyes of these cultivators, it was no less than the gaze of a demon.

Sure enough, the suction force applied to them became even greater, as if to hollow out their bodies, constantly pouring into the small figure's body.

Time passed, second by second, and no one knew how long it had been, but in the hearts of these cultivators, every second felt like a year.

Just when everyone was about to give up, thinking they were about to die, suddenly, the suction force applied to them stopped abruptly, and their solidified bodies instantly regained their freedom.

Without exception, as soon as they regained their freedom, they all sat down cross-legged, closed their eyes, guarded their spirits, and adjusted their breathing.

However, the spiritual infant was still suspended above everyone's heads, and at this moment, some jade slips of various colors suddenly appeared in his hands.

These were all insights into the artistic conception that the Mad Old Man had sought for Chen Tian.

It should be known that the owners of these jade slips all cultivated to the Building Heaven Realm later on, so these insights into the artistic conception are much more precious than others.

At this time, the spiritual infant glanced at those jade slips, then tossed them with his little hand, and actually threw these jade slips containing insights into the artistic conception into his mouth and chewed them up.

After eating these insights into the artistic conception, the light on the spiritual infant's body gradually faded, and then his body began to slowly grow larger, eventually reaching a hundred feet in size.

Seeing this scene, the cultivators stopped their exercises one after another and looked at everything with horrified expressions, they were already dizzy from the impact of these various phenomena.

As for the mortals, they showed even more piety than before, prostrating themselves on the ground and kowtowing non-stop.

However, looking at all of this, the spiritual infant's face was filled with indifference, without sorrow or joy, as if he had seen through the essence of this world and reached a detached state.

Humans originally had no power, but later they began to imitate the cultivation methods of the Immortal race, and finally transformed their bodies and gained power by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The first level of cultivation for cultivators is called Spiritual Awakening.

Spiritual Awakening, as the name suggests, is to awaken spiritual wisdom and obtain the qualifications for immortality.

Because everyone's aptitude is different, some people can easily break through Spiritual Awakening and truly embark on the path of immortality, but more people spend their entire lives without even crossing the first level of Spiritual Awakening.

One in ten thousand refers to people who can break through the Spiritual Awakening stage.

After Spiritual Awakening, cultivators can obtain greater power by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth or swallowing pills.

However, this accumulation of power is not endless, because after accumulating to a certain level, cultivators will encounter a barrier, which everyone calls the Guiding Spirit stage.

Compared to the simple accumulation of spiritual energy in the Spiritual Awakening stage, in the Guiding Spirit stage, one can learn various supernatural powers and spells, and use spiritual energy more skillfully, greatly increasing one's strength.

However, this barrier is not too difficult for cultivators, and as long as they work hard enough, they can generally break through it.

What is really difficult is the subsequent Spirit Gathering stage and the Transformation Spring Realm.

Because in these two realms, simply absorbing spiritual energy can no longer easily improve one's cultivation base. What cultivators have to do is to comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

Use the power of heaven to transform it into one's own use.

This is the standard for measuring the strength of a cultivator.

The power of man is infinitely small, while the power of heaven is infinitely large.

Therefore, being able to use the power of heaven for one's own use, then not to mention breaking mountains and collapsing seas, even surpassing reincarnation and escaping cause and effect is not impossible.

Heavenly Dao is also the artistic conception.

The process of gathering countless artistic conceptions is called凝海 (Ning Hai).

Draw on the power of heaven, condense the depths of the sea.

Chen Tian has reached the most critical moment to break through the Sea Condensation Realm.

Whether he can break through depends entirely on this one move!
