Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

However, after receiving Chen Tian's order, the three corpse puppets did not act as he wished. Instead, they remained blankly in the blood mist, their heads shaking dully from side to side, looking lost.

Chen Tian frowned upon seeing this, thinking to himself, ‘Could it be that they didn't hear my order clearly?’

Thinking this, Chen Tian formed another hand seal and reissued the order for the three corpse puppets to enter the light gate.

However, this time, their reaction was even more frustrating for Chen Tian.

The three demonic puppets, upon hearing Chen Tian's order, looked at the hundreds of light gates on the plain with fear. Then, they slowly moved their feet backward, revealing a very frightened appearance.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian instantly understood. They hadn't failed to hear his order; they were simply unwilling to enter the light gate out of fear.

‘Damn it, these crafty ghosts! How are they still so smart after they're dead?’ Chen Tian couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Humans have their cunning, and ghosts have theirs. These corpse puppets were all extraordinary cultivators before their deaths. Although Pan Linghai had killed them and turned them into corpse puppets, they unexpectedly retained a trace of their consciousness. Knowing the dangers behind those light gates, they hesitated, unwilling to obey Chen Tian's order to enter.

This left Chen Tian helpless, as he had been counting on these guys to investigate.

‘What should I do?’ Chen Tian's eyes flickered as he rapidly considered countermeasures in his mind.

“Roar… Roar roar roar… Roar roar roar roar…”

At this, the three corpse puppets exchanged glances, and finally, as if defeated, unwillingly entered the three light gates respectively.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian was greatly surprised. He hadn't expected Jia Yan to be so mighty, able to command the three clever corpse puppets.

As if sensing Chen Tian's gaze, Jia Yan turned towards him, his large mouth splitting into a terrifying yet honest smile.

Chen Tian's mood immediately improved upon seeing this. He returned a smile, then closed his eyes and began to check the movements of the three corpse puppets.

The three corpse puppets had each entered a different world. One of them had arrived in a vast, boundless desert.

In the desert, the sun blazed in the sky, sand and rocks flew, and swarms of unknown, strange black insects vibrated their wings from the sand and flew towards the corpse puppet.

These black insects were extremely violent. Although they were small, they were numerous. After surrounding the corpse puppet, they began to gnaw at its body, and soon they devoured one of its arms. The corpse puppet let out an incomparably shrill roar.

Seeing this, Chen Tian's eyes turned cold. He dared not let it stay any longer. With a wave of his hand, he rescued it from the swarm of insects and threw it into the blood mist.

As soon as the corpse puppet entered the blood mist, its injured arm began to gradually regenerate and coalesce, and its expression eased.

Chen Tian glanced at it and then ignored it, continuing to close his eyes and explore the movements of the other two corpse puppets.

However, to Chen Tian's dismay, the situation of the other two corpse puppets was also very bad.

One of the corpse puppets was in a world that was a sword mountain hanging with countless long swords.

As soon as it entered, the long swords on the sword mountain began to hum incessantly, and then suddenly unsheathed and shot towards it. Before long, the corpse puppet was covered with long swords.

The world entered by the other corpse puppet was a vast ocean. It seemed that there was no danger here, and the corpse puppet showed a very happy expression, treading the waves and swimming freely, having a great time.

But just as it swam forward for a dozen feet, the quality of the water in the ocean suddenly changed, and it turned into a highly corrosive acid, dissolving the corpse puppet with a 'hissing' sound. And it desperately beat the sea water, its expression terrified.

Seeing this, Chen Tian smiled bitterly and had no choice but to rescue the two corpse puppets and throw them into the blood mist to recuperate.

After an incense stick's worth of time, the wounds on the three corpse puppets had healed.

Chen Tian wanted to let them go in again, but having suffered, they were unwilling to obey.

Chen Tian didn't feel discouraged by his inability to command them. Instead, he revealed a sly smile.

Chen Tian winked at Jia Yan, who instantly understood. Without saying anything, he walked towards the three corpse puppets.

The three corpse puppets seemed to have prepared themselves for stubborn resistance. Although they were somewhat afraid of Jia Yan, they didn't give way at this time, tilting their heads and refusing to look Jia Yan in the eye.

“Slap… Slap… Slap…”

With heavy footsteps, Jia Yan strode up to the three corpse puppets, and then raised his large hand. Accompanied by three clear sounds, Jia Yan gave them a solid slap in the face.

It was that simple, that crude.

Jia Yan's unreasonable behavior instantly shocked the three corpse puppets.

They covered their cheeks as if they were very aggrieved, staring at Jia Yan with tearless eyes.

However, Jia Yan didn't show any sympathy. Instead, he pointed with both hands, pointing to those light gates again.

The hidden meaning was self-evident!

Faced with Jia Yan's coercion, the three corpse puppets had no choice but to cover their already swollen cheeks and re-enter the three light gates dejectedly.

Chen Tian saw all of this and revealed a satisfied smile. This was the effect he wanted.

Then, Chen Tian closed his eyes again and began to explore the movements of the three corpse puppets.

To be honest, although there are hundreds of teleportation arrays on this plain, each one has a very powerful mechanism behind it.

Chen Tian relied on the three corpse puppets to check more than half of them, but all of them were abandoned because the difficulty factor was too high.

Just as Chen Tian was gradually becoming somewhat disappointed, suddenly, the world entered by one of the corpse puppets aroused his interest.

The world entered by that corpse puppet was a void, with nothing at all.

There were no stars, no moon, only darkness that was so complete you couldn't see your fingers.

The corpse puppet flew here with curiosity, and along the way, nothing strange happened.

But just as it relaxed its vigilance, thinking that this place was very safe, suddenly, something happened that made Chen Tian feel horrified!
