Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Chen Tian was originally still immersed in reminiscence, but after hearing Hua Ning's words, his face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly, "What? Are you very eager to know?"

Looking at Chen Tian's suddenly gloomy expression, Hua Ning seemed to have thought of something, her heart shuddered, and she immediately knelt down, terrified, "No... No... This concubine knows her mistake, I beg Senior to spare my life."

Hua Ning temporarily lost herself, forgetting that in the world of cultivation, some things cannot be easily inquired about.

Since Chen Tian had never spoken in detail about his old friend, it meant that Chen Tian didn't want to mention this matter to her.

And now Hua Ning's nonsensical inquiry was precisely violating a taboo, wasn't it?

Fortunately, Hua Ning noticed this mistake in time and quickly corrected it.

"Alright, I'll spare your life this time, get up," Chen Tian said indifferently after taking a cold look at Hua Ning.

Although Chen Tian's tone was somewhat unkind, Hua Ning was still as excited as if she had been granted amnesty, and after thanking him again, she stood up.

At this moment, Chen Tian looked Hua Ning up and down with a suspicious expression and asked, "By the way, what were those two chasing you so relentlessly for?"

Hearing this, Hua Ning's heart tightened, and after quickly thinking about it, she sighed helplessly and said, "To be honest, Senior, a few days ago, this concubine found something in an unknown canyon, but as soon as I came out, I was targeted by those two treacherous villains and chased all the way here."

"Oh, in that case, this thing must be very precious," Chen Tian said with a calm expression after hearing Hua Ning's words.

However, after hearing this, the helplessness in Hua Ning's heart grew stronger, and she bit her lip lightly and said, "Actually, this thing is not too precious, it's just a small statue. Senior saved this concubine's life just now, and this concubine was thinking about what to use to repay Senior for his kindness. If Senior doesn't mind, then this concubine will borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and use this thing to thank Senior for saving my life."

After saying that, Hua Ning took out something wrapped in red silk from her chest and respectfully handed it to Chen Tian.

Chen Tian glanced at the thing Hua Ning handed over, pondered for a moment, and finally took it.

Obviously, Hua Ning loved this thing very much, using fine silk to wrap it up layer by layer.

After opening it one by one, as she said, there was indeed a figure statue hidden inside.

However, after tens of thousands of years of weathering, this figure statue had become dilapidated. In particular, the face of the statue had long been destroyed beyond recognition by the strong winds of the Fallen Immortal Valley, and it was impossible to identify its original appearance. One could only vaguely see that it was carved with a man in a long robe.

Moreover, the material of this statue was also extremely special, neither gold nor stone, neither wood nor jade, unlike anything on the Qian Yuan Continent, and more like something from another world.

In fact, if it were just an ordinary statue, Chen Tian would naturally not care, but the moment Chen Tian touched this statue, he had already determined in his heart that this thing was definitely not ordinary!

Although this statue was dilapidated, it exuded an extremely strange power.

If it were Chen Tian before breaking through the凝海境 (Ninghai Realm), then he would definitely not have been able to detect this power, but now it was different. Chen Tian felt very familiar with this power.

Because this power was the power of the Heavenly Dao!

In other words, this small statue actually contained a trace of the power of the Heavenly Dao with the laws of heaven and earth.

Moreover, this power of the Heavenly Dao was extremely powerful, hundreds of times more powerful than Chen Tian at this time.

That is to say, the strength of the owner who made this statue in the first place far exceeded the Ninghai Realm, and was even higher than the筑天境 (Zhutian Realm)!

This discovery caused waves of shock in Chen Tian's heart, and he could not calm down for a long time.

Chen Tian increasingly felt that this thing was extremely precious!

"Senior, are you alright?"

While Chen Tian was investigating the statue, Hua Ning had been watching him from the side.

When Hua Ning saw Chen Tian deeply shocked, she was puzzled, so she couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Hua Ning felt bitter in her heart, and didn't speak, just lowered her eyes and nodded, as a reply.

Seeing this, Chen Tian's eyes flashed, and after a long while, he showed a smile and nodded, "Originally, I saved you out of heavenly justice, and I didn't want any reward from you. But since you are so polite, then if I push it away again, it would seem a little unreasonable! Alright, I will reluctantly accept it."

Chen Tian was a smart man, and he naturally understood what Hua Ning meant, so he showed a reluctant expression and accepted it.

In this way, it was as if Ning Hua was forcing Chen Tian to accept it.

Then, Chen Tian flipped his hand and put the magical statue into his storage ring.

The power of the Heavenly Dao contained in this statue was extremely profound, and Chen Tian's current strength was not enough to comprehend it. He planned to put it away first and check it slowly when he had time in the future.

And watching Chen Tian really put away the statue, the reluctance in Hua Ning's heart became even stronger, which could be described as heartache.

After all, this was what she had found after all kinds of hardships and a narrow escape from death.

Although her strength was humble and she couldn't discover the secret on the statue like Chen Tian, she was able to observe people's expressions and knew through Chen Tian's strange expression just now that this statue must be a good treasure.

Thinking of this, Hua Ning couldn't help but sigh again.

Of course, Chen Tian also noticed the reluctance on Hua Ning's face, but he didn't say anything.

After all, after so long in the world of cultivation, Chen Tian had already developed a super thick skin, and he would not feel embarrassed because he took someone else's things for nothing.

Just like what Hua Ning said, Chen Tian saved her just now, and it was a very reasonable reason to use this thing as a reward for saving her life.

After quibbling in his heart like this, Chen Tian suddenly felt at ease.
