Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Seeing Cao Qinghua and everyone else present looking utterly horrified, Chen Tian suddenly smiled slightly and said calmly, "I already said, the reason I'm helping you is because I have a past feud with those Eight Fiends of Filin, and also for that generous reward. Other than that, I seek nothing else, and I won't accept any repayment, so you don't need to be so polite."

While saying these words, the expression on Chen Tian's face appeared extremely sincere, not allowing anyone to harbor even a hint of doubt.

After hearing this, Cao Qinghua was first stunned for a moment, then suddenly became overjoyed. He stepped forward and bowed deeply to Chen Tian, expressing his deep apology, "Brother Yang, I used the heart of a petty man to measure the belly of a gentleman. I deserve to die ten thousand times. I hope you can forgive me this once."

Although Cao Qinghua's cultivation was comparable to Chen Tian's, he was born into a wealthy family and was well-protected from a young age. Furthermore, because he was naturally gifted, he was sent to the Hailan Sect as soon as he cultivated to the Transformation Spring Realm. From then on, everything went smoothly for him, and his future was bright. As a result, he lacked experience in the cultivation world and believed that chivalrous gentlemen truly existed in this world.

Therefore, upon hearing Chen Tian's sincere and unrestrained words, he was greatly moved and only thought that Chen Tian was a righteous gentleman with noble character. That was why he apologized to Chen Tian for his previous impoliteness.

The other Hailan Sect disciples had similar experiences to Cao Qinghua, so they were also moved by Chen Tian's righteous words and felt ashamed of their previous rashness and rudeness.

However, unlike these people, the other cultivators present had all crawled out of piles of blades and seas of fire. Of course, they didn't believe that such noble gentlemen truly existed in this world.

To be honest, they were very suspicious of Chen Tian's intentions, but they couldn't find anything wrong with Chen Tian for a while. So, after being slightly confused for a while, they dispersed as if they were bored. However, in their hearts, their vigilance towards Chen Tian became even deeper!

Unlike these cunning cultivators, the Hailan Sect disciples, who were inexperienced in the world, now completely believed in Chen Tian's sincerity and gathered around, eagerly inviting Chen Tian to visit their residences when the time came.

And Chen Tian always maintained that hearty smile and agreed to everything.

Of course, they didn't know that Chen Tian had premeditated all of this.

As a reclusive and hidden supreme sect, the Hailan Sect's power and foundation were extremely necessary for Chen Tian, so he wouldn't let Cao Qinghua settle this favor with a small Heavenly Dao Intent.

Chen Tian must make them remember this favor first, so that it will definitely come in handy in the future!

At this time, the temporary trading fair on the Ascension Platform was also gradually entering a frenzy, with everyone sparing no expense to use extremely high prices to acquire Heavenly Dao Intents from other people's hands.

The Hailan Sect members each had a super family behind them to support them. Their purpose for coming in this time was to collect as many Heavenly Dao Intents as possible. Therefore, after chatting with Chen Tian for a few words, they said goodbye one after another, and then filed in and joined the wave of acquisitions.

Because the power behind these people was not to be underestimated, as soon as they joined, they doubled the price again, reaching twenty million immortal crystal stones.

The transaction was still going on fiercely, but Chen Tian seemed to have no interest at all, still staying in place, closing his eyes and resting.

From the beginning, Daoist Nanhua had been paying attention to Chen Tian, but after repeated observations, he still couldn't find anything unusual about Chen Tian. After hesitating for a moment, he finally withdrew the spiritual consciousness he had placed on Chen Tian, and then joined the transaction of Heavenly Dao Intents.

What he didn't expect was that just as he had withdrawn his spiritual consciousness, Chen Tian also reopened his tightly closed eyes and said coldly in his heart, "Hmph, as expected, he's an old fox, but if you want to fight with me, you're still a bit short!"

After thinking about it, Chen Tian put away his thoughts, and then looked at the huge pit left by the handprint, which had already calmed down.

After observing for a while, Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something. The corner of his mouth raised, and he suddenly revealed a strange smile. Then, his lips moved slightly, and he actually began to silently chant a silent incantation.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a huge thunderous sound, the ground where everyone was located shook violently.

"What's going on? What's happening again?"

Seeing this strange phenomenon, everyone was surprised in their hearts and looked around suspiciously.

Fortunately, this vision only existed for a while and soon disappeared again, so after a suspicious sound, they didn't take it to heart, and only thought it was an accidental event, and continued to bargain with other people.

Chen Tian calmly watched all of this, then closed his eyes and silently chanted a series of mysterious and obscure incantations even faster.

"Boom…"

"Boom boom…"

In shock, everyone stopped trading and looked around with incomparable anxiety, and were constantly on guard in their hearts, in case any anomalies that might appear at any time.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom!"

"Boom… Boom boom!"

After a while, not only did the frequency of the earth shaking not decrease, but it became more and more frequent, and the terrifying thunderous sound was about to numb everyone's ears.

Faced with all of this, everyone's heart suddenly trembled, they had never seen such a strange phenomenon.

Although everyone was at a loss, under vigilance, they could only look around more carefully and cautiously.

"Hey… look at that handprint… God… what the hell is going on?"

Just as the anxiety in everyone's heart was gradually rising, a terrified voice instantly led their gazes to the center of the Ascension Platform, into that huge handprint.

After just one glance, the shock that had been suppressed in everyone's hearts finally erupted completely, because in that huge pit of the handprint that had originally calmed down, pieces of extremely gorgeous rays of light suddenly flashed out, gathering in the sky, forming a thick, colorful auspicious cloud.

"Could it be… are more Heavenly Dao Intents about to escape?"

This scene was not unfamiliar to everyone present, because this was exactly the scene they had just experienced when the handprint was opened.

And now that the same vision reappeared, does it mean that this year, the second wave of Heavenly Dao Intents will erupt from this handprint?

Seeing this extremely familiar scene at this time, without exception, such a terrifying thought emerged in everyone's hearts.

They really couldn't understand, what exactly was going on?
