On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

However, for mortals who only have a limited lifespan of a hundred years, birthdays hold a special meaning. It is an important day to celebrate the gift of life and to appreciate the time spent with loved ones.

Nevertheless, his family had made it clear that they intended to make his day special, and he felt a sense of gratitude towards them for their efforts.

Despite his initial lack of excitement, Chen Tian knew how much his aunt had cared for him over the past 18 years, and he didn't want to disappoint her.

Bang

"Happy Birthday!"

When he arrived in the living room, everyone shouted, "Wishing you a very happy birthday, Chen Tian!"

Chen Tian was overwhelmed with emotions as he saw the decorations, the cake, and the people's presents.

His aunt and Aria were standing near the foot of the stairs, and to his surprise, Leng Zhiqing was standing beside them.

Chen Tian realized that even though he prioritized his cultivation, his family's love and care were equally important. He felt grateful for the time spent with them and promised to cherish every moment.

Their love and affection touched Chen Tian. He understood that birthdays may not hold the same importance for him, but if his family is happy, he doesn't mind.

While he was looking at his family with a warm smile, Aria abruptly approached him, breaking his concentration.

She was wearing a beautiful red dress that accentuated her curves and complemented her long blonde hair and blue eyes.

The dress had a form-fitting silhouette that hugged her figure in all the right places. The bold red color of the dress was eye-catching and exuded confidence and sexiness.

It had a sleeveless design that showed off her delicate arms, and the hemline fell just above her knees, making her legs look longer and slender.

The dress highlighted her C-cup breasts, and the low neckline added a touch of allure. Overall, Aria looked stunning in her red dress, radiating elegance and beauty.

She had a bright smile on her face. She hugged Chen Tian tightly and whispered in his ear, "Happy Birthday, Tian. I hope this day brings you all the happiness and joy you deserve."

Chen Tian felt his heart skip a beat as he looked into Aria's eyes.

He felt a sudden urge to kiss her delicate lips, but he knew he couldn't act on it.

He composed himself and approached Aria, whispering in her ear in a seductive voice, "Thank you; you look stunning in that dress." Despite the overwhelming temptation, he chose to show restraint himself. For now, his aunt and Leng Zhiqing were watching him.

If he asked himself, was Chen Tian scared of doing that in front of his aunt and Leng Zhiqing?

The answer would probably be no!

He isn't scared. He just doesn't want to put Aria in an awkward situation, and as for the other people present here, Chen Tian really doesn't care. In the future, these people will have nothing to do with him.

It may sound a bit cruel, but it was the truth. After Chen Tian's strength returned to its peak, he planned to leave this place and start his own journey in the cultivation world. As for his family, of course he will take them with him. They were now his responsibility, and he wouldn't abandon them.

However, he knew that he couldn't stay in this small place forever. He had bigger goals and desires, and he needed to focus on his own strength to achieve them.

It was not the right time for him to reveal the cultivation world and other related matters to his family. Although he desired to do so, he knew that they would not believe him.

Moreover, he was not yet powerful enough to confront the dangers that might emerge if his secret were to accidentally leak out. As a result, he decided to keep this matter to himself until he felt confident enough to reveal it.

Maybe in the future, when he has developed enough strength to withstand the damage caused by a rocket launcher, he will reveal his true identity and introduce his family to the world of cultivation.

As for now, Chen Tian decided to prioritize Aria's comfort and feelings over his own in that moment. He recognized the potential consequences of his actions.

Despite not caring about the other people present, he didn't want to make Aria uncomfortable or put her in a difficult position. Ultimately, he showed maturity and self-control in the situation.

He thanked Aria for the kind words and the beautiful dress. Hearing his words, Aria's face turned slightly red, but lucky for her, no one noticed as her face was on the other side of the stairs.

After what happened in the morning with Chen Tian, she couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something more between her and Chen Tian.

She knew it was wrong, but she couldn't help it. She tried to push the thought away and focus on the present moment. However, deep down, she couldn't deny the growing attraction she felt towards Chen Tian.

She hoped that he felt the same way, but she didn't want to risk their relationship by confessing her feelings. For now, she has decided to keep her emotions to herself.

"Come on, Tian," she said. "Don't just stand there; everyone is waiting for you to cut the cake."

She took his hands and dragged him towards the center of the living room. On his way, his aunt also hugged him and wished him a happy birthday.

As for Leng Zhiqing, she also wished him a happy birthday with her usual cold face, without a hug. But Chen Tian didn't mind; he knew that she had a good heart and valued her family regardless of her lack of emotions.

He smiled at her and thanked her. Aria still dragged him to the center, where there was a big birthday cake waiting for him.

It was a chocolate cake with strawberry filling, his favorite.

"Come, Tian, blow the candles," Aria urged him with excitement in her voice.

"Okay."  With a smile, Chen Tian nodded, took the knife, and made a wish before cutting the cake.

The room was filled with cheers and applause. Later, maids came and started distributing the cake to everyone. It was a wonderful birthday celebration.

People began to approach him with gifts and well-wishes. However, he didn't feel as enthusiastic about it as his family did.

Despite this, the rest of the evening was filled with joyous moments, including laughter, music, and delicious food that brought everyone together in celebration.

Chen Tian was still in the midst of exchanging greetings with some of his former classmates from school. Meanwhile, his aunt was occupied with greeting a group of business partners and other influential individuals from the city.

"Chen Tian." A fat man waved at him. Seeing him, Chen Tian smiled as the fat man walked to him.

"Tian, Tian, happy birthday!" The man said

"Thanks, Pang Chun."

The fat man is Chen Tian's classmate in his class, and they have known each other for a long time. Chen Tian was glad to see him at his birthday party.

"Tian, have you played it?" Asked  Pang Chun. He showed his smartphone screen as he spoke.

On his phone was the image of a new game.

"No, I haven't played it yet." Chen Tian shook his head. It was the first time he had heard about this game.

As he spoke, Chen Tian couldn't help but stare at the man's face.

There are several scars on his face.

Pang Chun is the fat man's name. And he's not a minor character. His father, Pang Jiahao, was the second-richest person in the city. He had businesses scattered all over the earth.

Even though his aunt was the richest woman in town, there were ten men who were richer than her in that city.

"Really?" Pang Chun immediately stared at him when he heard the answer.

"Yes, I didn't have much time to play." Chen Tian answered with a smile on his face.

"Then you want to try it? We can play it together if you want," Pang Chun suggested.

"Sorry, these days I am busy and don't have much time to play." Chen Tian answered.

"Oh then..." He wanted to speak, but his words were interrupted when someone suddenly walked behind Chen Tian and closed his eyes with their hands.

"Guess who I am?"
