Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Upon hearing Shang Yun's reminder, Chen Tian's face couldn't help but flush slightly. However, he quickly regained his composure, feigning indifference as he said, "Ahem, is that so? Well then, you guys lead the way in front, and I'll bring up the rear to prevent other demon beasts from approaching, which can also be considered protecting your safety."

Although Chen Tian's words sounded high-sounding, they were like 'a guilty person protesting their innocence,' making the three even more convinced that Chen Tian must have gotten lost.

Of course, Shang Yun and the others weren't fools. They naturally knew how strong Chen Tian's strength was, so they didn't dare to laugh at him in the slightest. After responding, they hurriedly led the way forward.

"They are quite sensible."

Chen Tian glanced at the three of them, a satisfied expression on his face. Immediately afterward, his figure moved, and he followed behind them, flying forward.

During their journey, whenever they encountered a situation where they couldn't identify the direction, Shang Yun would always take out a copper compass and inject a trace of spiritual power into it. Lines of mountains and rivers would then appear on the compass, matching Chen Tian's current location exactly.

With the help of this compass, the group quickly found the correct direction again, and they continued on their way without stopping, speeding along.

Because the group's speed was too fast, it attracted the attention of some demon beasts, so they often encountered harassment. But whenever this happened, Chen Tian, who was flying in the back, would immediately take action, clearing all obstacles with lightning speed.

Among these demon beasts, some were no weaker than the Snow Demon from before, but Chen Tian still didn't care, killing them with a wave of his hand. That unrestrained and fierce demeanor truly astonished Shang Yun and the others. Their attitude towards Chen Tian became even more respectful.

Thus, under the guidance of the compass and Chen Tian's protection, the group flew all the way, and finally, after three days, they escaped from the snowfield and re-entered the territory of the Qian Yuan Continent.

Just as they flew out of the snowfield, in front of them was a lush forest. Some cheerful birds were singing while flying freely among the trees.

Compared to the snowfield behind them, which was frozen for thousands of miles, this place was as warm as March!

After Shang Yun and the others arrived here, they felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from their hearts, and they immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

As for Chen Tian, his expression remained as usual, his aura was long and steady, and he was as still as a mountain. However, his gaze, ever since he walked out of the snowfield, had been fixed on the compass in Shang Yun's hand. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly asked, "What is this thing?"

Shang Yun was still in the joy of surviving the ordeal. Hearing Chen Tian's sudden question, he was startled. However, he didn't dare to neglect it and hurriedly said respectfully, "Replying to Senior, this thing is called the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Map. It contains most of the territory of the Qian Yuan Continent. As long as you have it, you can travel the world without any worries."

"Oh? Is it really that magical?" After hearing Shang Yun's explanation, Chen Tian couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise.

"That's natural!" A trace of pride appeared on Shang Yun's face as he said, "To be honest, Senior, this item was made by me over ten years. There is only one of its kind in the world, and there is absolutely no duplicate."

As he spoke, Shang Yun tapped his finger lightly and injected a trace of spiritual power into the compass. Suddenly, a piece of azure brilliance shone from within the compass, reflecting in the air, and instantly transformed into exquisite maps.

"Senior, look, this is the map of the Gale Country, this is the map of the West Lu Abyss, this is the map of the West Mi Mountains, this is the map of the Phoenix Lake Canyon..."

As these maps appeared, Shang Yun explained them to Chen Tian one by one.

Chen Tian walked closer and took a look. Indeed, these maps were made in extremely detailed, even the small mountains and rivers on them were clearly marked.

"You just said that you made all of these?" After taking a cursory glance, Chen Tian retracted his gaze and asked Shang Yun with a questioning tone.

"That's for sure!" Before Shang Yun could speak, Junior Sister Mu interjected in an extremely admiring tone, "Senior Brother Shang is not only highly skilled in cultivation, but he is also quite proficient in the art of refining. This Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Map was drawn by him and me comparing it to the actual landscapes! It's not that I'm boasting, but given time, our Senior Brother Shang will definitely become a generation of refining masters!"

"Alright, Junior Sister Mu, you should stop making fun of me like this in front of Senior." Shang Yun was thin-skinned. Hearing these praises, his cheeks turned red, and he was a little shy.

"Not bad, you are indeed very talented." After seeing all of this, Chen Tian couldn't help but nod and said, "To be able to simplify so many maps and store them all in such a small compass, and to be able to summon them at will, this method is indeed extremely novel."

"Thank you for your praise, Senior." Unlike Junior Sister Mu, Shang Yun seemed extremely excited after hearing Chen Tian's praise.

"Alas..." Just then, the smile on Chen Tian's face suddenly disappeared, and he sighed, "How wonderful would it be if I could have such a treasure..."

After saying that, Chen Tian's gaze, as if unintentionally, fell on the compass again.

At first, Shang Yun didn't understand what was going on, but after thinking about it for a while, he seemed to suddenly wake up. He hurriedly handed the compass in his hand to Chen Tian and said respectfully, "If Senior doesn't mind, this compass can be given to Senior."

Looking at Shang Yun's appearance, Chen Tian secretly smiled in his heart, but he pretended to be embarrassed on his face and waved his hand, "Absolutely not! There is a saying that a gentleman does not take what others love. You must have put a lot of effort into refining this compass, so how can I take what others love?"

Indeed, as Chen Tian said, Shang Yun had spent nearly ten years working on this Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Map, and he had also invested many natural treasures in it. It was his most beloved treasure, and he usually cherished it like a treasure, and he would not easily lend it to others.

However, Shang Yun wasn't a fool. He naturally heard the implied meaning in Chen Tian's words just now. This was clearly because he had taken a fancy to this treasure and deliberately said it for him to hear.

There was no other way. Although he was reluctant in his heart, when he thought of Chen Tian's terrifying strength, Shang Yun had no choice but to give up this treasure.

After sighing secretly, Shang Yun's face was distressed, and he cupped his hands and said, "If it weren't for Senior's help in the snowfield just now, I'm afraid we would have already died under the Snow Demon. We will never be able to repay this kindness, so what is a mere trinket? I hope Senior will not decline any further. It is my blessing to be favored by Senior."

Hearing Shang Yun's words, Chen Tian couldn't help but take a deep look at him. He didn't expect this kid to be so sensible that he could say things so flawlessly!

But since he had already helped Chen Tian find a way to step down, how could Chen Tian refuse?
