Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The tunnel was extremely long. Although the group had been walking for an hour, they still hadn't seen the exit.

Cao Fangcun and the two Cao family elders walked at the front, the gray-robed old man and the other two walked at the back, while Chen Tian was sandwiched in the middle.

Although they were all silent, they at least maintained a delicate balance.

Chen Tian seemed extremely satisfied with all of this, after all, he only wanted to obtain the Nirvana Pill smoothly and didn't want any unnecessary complications.

After walking for a while, Chen Tian suddenly sensed two auras rapidly approaching from behind, which made his heart palpitate. He immediately turned around and saw the middle-aged beautiful woman and the infant wearing a red bib. He didn't know when they had arrived beside him.

"What, do you need something from me?"

Chen Tian hadn't had much contact with these two people before, so he couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw them suddenly approaching and asked in astonishment.

Upon hearing this, the infant wearing the red bib gently tugged at the middle-aged beautiful woman's embroidered skirt. The middle-aged beautiful woman seemed to understand and quickly bent down to pick him up.

Only after the infant's position reached Chen Tian's chest did he speak, "Are you really that Yang Ming?"

However, after the surprise, Chen Tian also had some understanding. Although this person's physique was like an infant, his cultivation had already reached the late stage of the凝海境 (Ning Hai Realm).

And in the world, apart from Chen Tian and Li Qianyun, these two exceptions, which凝海境 (Ning Hai Realm) cultivator wasn't an old monster who had cultivated for thousands of years?

Therefore, for such cultivators, one couldn't judge anything by looking at their appearance. If one judged by appearance, one would inevitably pay a heavy price.

Chen Tian was always cautious and careful, so naturally, he didn't dare to underestimate this person. Therefore, he said with a solemn expression, "I am indeed Yang Ming, may I ask for your esteemed name?"

"Star Southern Mountain, Pu Suanzi," the infant slowly said.

"What? You are that Pu Suanzi known as the number one diviner in the world?" Chen Tian was greatly surprised after hearing the infant reveal his name.

Having cultivated to his current level, there were very few people who could surprise Chen Tian, and this Pu Suanzi was one of them.

Before this, although Chen Tian had never seen Pu Suanzi in person, he had long heard of his great reputation.

This Pu Suanzi lived in Star Southern Mountain all year round, so he was also known as Star Southern Venerable. Besides his powerful cultivation, he was also skilled in divination and fortune-telling, claiming to be able to predict five hundred years into the past and five hundred years into the future, with no omissions!

Because of his reputation, many cultivators came to his door, wanting to ask Pu Suanzi to divine a hexagram for them.

However, this divination and fortune-telling was ultimately a practice that defied the natural order, so every time Pu Suanzi divined a hexagram, he would lose fifty years of his lifespan.

Because of this, people who came to ask him to divine a hexagram would always attach extremely generous gifts.

However, Pu Suanzi's temper was very strange. Some people would bring incredibly lavish gifts, but Pu Suanzi would not divine a hexagram for them. While others would only bring a wild grass, but Pu Suanzi could divine two hexagrams for them in a row.

Such a strong contrast was truly beyond everyone's expectations.

Therefore, from then on, this Pu Suanzi had another title, the Old Man of Fate. Meaning that only those who were destined could receive a hexagram from Pu Suanzi.

After recalling these things in his mind, Chen Tian's expression turned solemn, and he cupped his hands towards the infant and said, "So it's Senior Pu Suanzi, I'm truly disrespectful. May I ask what brings you here?"

Although he was surprised, Chen Tian's heart was filled with more doubts and incomprehension. He had no connection with Pu Suanzi, and he had never met him before, so why would he suddenly come up and talk to him?

Seeming to see the doubts written on Chen Tian's face, Pu Suanzi smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to be worried, this old man has no malice in finding you, I just want to say one thing to you, within a hundred years, you will have a great catastrophe. If you can overcome it, then you can rise steadily and soar to great heights, but if you fail to overcome it, you will die without a burial place! I hope you can keep this in mind."

"What! Senior, have you divined a hexagram for me?" After hearing Pu Suanzi's words, Chen Tian's heart was greatly shaken, and an unbelievable look appeared on his face.

In fact, not only him, but even the middle-aged beautiful woman holding Pu Suanzi couldn't help but look surprised at this moment.

"Haha, actually, this hexagram was divined for you by this old man twenty years ago, when you had just become famous throughout the world," Facing the shock of Chen Tian and the middle-aged beautiful woman, Pu Suanzi seemed quite natural and smiled.

At this time, Chen Tian had already calmed down, but his brows couldn't help but furrow.

Pu Suanzi just said that this hexagram was divined for him twenty years ago, which means that there are less than eighty years left until the time of the great tribulation that Pu Suanzi spoke of.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian's face was gloomy, and he said, "Then may I ask senior, do you know what my catastrophe refers to?"

"This, this old man really doesn't know," Pu Suanzi shook his head and said in surprise, "At that time, this old man divined three hexagrams for you in total, but each time there was a strange force blocking the hexagram images, so this old man could only divine that you would have a great catastrophe, but what this catastrophe refers to, this old man couldn't see clearly."

Speaking of this, a strong look of horror appeared on Pu Suanzi's face. He had been divining hexagrams for so long, and it was the first time he had seen such a strange phenomenon, so from that time on, he remembered the name Yang Ming.

And when he learned that Chen Tian was Yang Ming, he was extremely horrified in his heart, but after thinking about it, he finally told the hexagram.

His purpose was also to curry favor with Chen Tian.

However, after Chen Tian heard his words, he fell silent. After a long while, he seemed to have recovered and gave Pu Suanzi a solemn salute, gratefully saying, "Senior divined three hexagrams for me, which means you lost one hundred and fifty years of lifespan. I really don't know how this junior can repay this kindness."

"Haha... Fellow Daoist Chen is too worried, this old man is fine," Seeing Chen Tian like this, Pu Suanzi suddenly laughed and said with a strange smile, "Fellow Daoist Chen is probably unaware, this old man has cultivated a divine ability called the Nine Revolutions Rebirth Art. Whenever my lifespan is exhausted, I will transform into an infant, and after only a few years of re-cultivation, I will be able to return to my original state."

"Nine Revolutions Rebirth Art?" After hearing Pu Suanzi's words, Chen Tian's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he said extremely excitedly, "Senior, can you give me this divine ability?"
