Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

When the smoke completely dissipated, two ugly humanoid monsters and a sturdy, robust man suddenly appeared in front of Chen Tian.

It was the two corpse puppets and Jia Yan!

“M… m… master…”

After appearing, the two corpse puppets nodded and bowed to Chen Tian with a flattering and ingratiating expression. As for Jia Yan, he stood aside expressionlessly and nodded slightly to Chen Tian.

In fact, whether it was the corpse puppets or Jia Yan, their bodies had already died, transformed into the walking dead they were now! To them, Chen Tian was their master, and they would unhesitatingly obey any order from Chen Tian!

Of course, when Chen Tian first subdued the two corpse puppets, these two fellows resisted Chen Tian in every possible way, causing him a lot of trouble! However, as Chen Tian's strength gradually increased, the two corpse puppets gradually gave up their resistance and chose to obey. In the end, without Chen Tian's active instructions, they would naturally and spontaneously protect Chen Tian.

Over the years, these two corpse puppets and Jia Yan have helped Chen Tian a lot. When Chen Tian was in seclusion, he would usually release them to guard the door and protect him. Even during the life-and-death battle with Li Qianyun, if it weren't for their help, Chen Tian would have already died.

Although Chen Tian seemed ruthless, he was actually a loyal and righteous person. These two corpse puppets and Jia Yan had helped Chen Tian a lot, so Chen Tian would naturally not mistreat them. Whether it was immortal crystal stones or elixirs, Chen Tian had rewarded them with many over the years, and he had even raised their strength to the point where they were infinitely close to the Nascent Soul Realm!

However, recently, a strange phenomenon had puzzled Chen Tian!

It turned out that after Chen Tian broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had spent some time trying to raise the strength of the two corpse puppets and Jia Yan to the Nascent Soul Realm!

Therefore, Chen Tian did not hesitate to consume dozens of top-grade immortal crystal stones and a large number of elixirs, wanting to help the two corpse puppets and Jia Yan improve their strength.

However, after some effort, the final result made Chen Tian feel very puzzled! He found that no matter how many immortal crystal stones and elixirs he consumed, the strength of the two corpse puppets and Jia Yan could no longer be improved at all, and they still remained at the peak of the Transformation Spring Realm.

Although they were only separated from the Nascent Soul Realm by a thin sheet of paper, Chen Tian could not break through this layer no matter how much effort he put in.

This strange phenomenon had troubled Chen Tian for a long time. After some contemplation, Chen Tian finally discovered some clues.

In the cultivation world, the Nascent Soul Realm is a watershed. As long as one cultivates to the Nascent Soul Realm, then both strength and lifespan will increase by leaps and bounds!

However, the difficulty of cultivating to the Nascent Soul Realm is extremely high. Not only must one accumulate a large amount of spiritual power, but one must also comprehend the creation of heaven and earth, the cycle of cause and effect, and comprehend one's own Dao realm.

When Chen Tian broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he had lived in the mortal world in Vegetable Basket Village for decades with the help of the Crazy Old Man, comprehending the cycle of cause and effect and the cycle of life and death, before he finally caught a glimpse of the Dao and stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm in one fell swoop!

However, whether it was Jia Yan or the two corpse puppets, they were already dead, their primordial spirits were missing, so how could they comprehend the Dao realm?

It was precisely for this reason that they were never able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm!

Although he found the reason, Chen Tian still didn't want to give up, so he adopted many other methods, wanting to find another way to help them step into the Nascent Soul Realm!

However, after trying dozens of methods in a row, Chen Tian finally had to admit that he had failed!

And this also meant that the two corpse puppets and Jia Yan would forever remain in the Transformation Spring Realm and would never be able to improve again.

When Chen Tian was still weak, these two corpse puppets and Jia Yan did help him a lot and were Chen Tian's capable assistants!

However, Chen Tian was already a Foundation Establishment Realm expert, and the role of the corpse puppets and Jia Yan seemed insignificant.

If they could break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, perhaps they would still be of some help to Chen Tian, but in the current situation, their continued stay by Chen Tian's side was already useless.

Chen Tian had thought about arranging them in the Immortal Demon Sect to become a barrier for the Immortal Demon Sect!

However, on second thought, Chen Tian felt that this was too heartless for them. After all, no matter what, they had helped Chen Tian a lot and should have a better ending!

So, after some consideration, Chen Tian finally made a decision to give them a great benefit!

Thinking of this, Chen Tian's face suddenly became extremely serious, and then his whole body's spiritual power surged, pointing to the sky and saying: “The Path of Reincarnation, open!”

It turned out that after thinking about it, Chen Tian felt that the best destination for these two corpse puppets and Jia Yan was to give them a chance to be reborn!

Although their primordial spirits had collapsed when they were refined into corpse puppets and demon puppets, fortunately, there was still a trace of remnant soul left on their bodies, and this gave them a chance to be reincarnated!

“Boom!”

At this moment, thousands of lightning bolts suddenly flashed in the sky above Chen Tian's head, and then a huge crack suddenly tore open, and a fierce storm roared out of the crack, stirring up the discoloration of the world!

Chen Tian had opened this Path of Reincarnation for the fire phoenix before. At that time, Chen Tian was only at the Nascent Soul Realm, and in order to open this Path of Reincarnation, he directly lost a full level of cultivation.

However, Chen Tian had already cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Realm at this time, so he tore this Path of Reincarnation open extremely easily. However, even so, maintaining this Path of Reincarnation still required Chen Tian to consume a large amount of spiritual power.

At this moment, the spiritual power in Chen Tian's body was being absorbed by the crack at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, Chen Tian did not pay any attention to all of this, but showed a gentle smile, turned around, and said to the two corpse puppets and Jia Yan: “The relationship between you and me will be completely ended today. If possible, let's meet again in the next life!”

Seeming to realize what was about to happen next, the two corpse puppets and Jia Yan suddenly showed a hint of emotion. After deeply gazing at Chen Tian, they no longer hesitated, and their bodies suddenly flew up and rushed towards the Path of Reincarnation.

This was the path of hope that Chen Tian had opened for them. As long as they entered it, then they would have a chance to be reincarnated!

Although Jia Yan and the two corpse puppets had already lost their self-awareness, when they were about to enter the reincarnation tunnel, they all couldn't help but look in Chen Tian's direction, and a complex and incomprehensible emotion was revealed in their eyes. However, soon, they plunged into the crack and disappeared without a trace!
