Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

This was an incredibly strange phenomenon. Ever since Jia Yan was refined into a demonic puppet, he had always obeyed Chen Tian's orders.

Unless summoned by Chen Tian, he would never run out on his own accord.

But at this moment, Chen Tian had not summoned Jia Yan, yet Jia Yan had taken it upon himself to rush out of the storage ring, which made Chen Tian feel greatly puzzled.

"Mas... Master... little bug... yum... delicious..."

At this moment, Jia Yan pointed at the fifty or so cyan insects flying wobbly in the air, and a line of saliva couldn't help but trickle down from the corner of his mouth.

Chen Tian gasped when he saw this, and asked in surprise, "What? You want to eat these green worms?"

Chen Tian couldn't help but be surprised. This was the first time in decades that Jia Yan had asked him for something.

And after hearing Chen Tian's words, Jia Yan nodded extremely fast, grinned, and showed a very simple and honest smile.

Seeing this incredible scene, Chen Tian began to think quickly in his heart.

But soon, as if he had made up his mind, a trace of gentleness appeared in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "Okay, Master approves, you can eat as much as you want!"

Hearing Chen Tian's agreement, Jia Yan instantly revealed a look of ecstasy, nodded excitedly, and then rushed towards the fifty cyan insects.

At this moment, Jia Yan's body suddenly emitted wisps of black gas, setting off his already terrifying face even more eerily.

Unlike his attitude when facing Chen Tian, Jia Yan had completely let go at this time, revealing his original ferocity. After sneering, he pointed with both hands, and the black gas on his body instantly turned into a giant net, trapping the cyan insect at the front, then pulled it over and began to devour it raw.

Don't underestimate these cyan insects for having the strength of the Huaquan realm, but now that they have flown out of the camp, they are like dogs fallen into the plains, no longer majestic.

So even Jia Yan, who only had the early stage strength of the Yinling realm, could easily subdue them, and then feast on them.

Soon, Jia Yan finished eating this cyan insect. The excitement in his eyes was even more intense, and after roaring, he rushed towards another cyan insect.

However, at this time, Chen Tian vaguely noticed something was wrong.

Chen Tian stared at Jia Yan with a strange expression for a while, then separated a trace of spiritual consciousness and probed towards his body.

After a while, the results of the investigation came out, and Chen Tian was immediately stunned by the surprise.

Jia Yan's strength had actually increased, from the early stage of Yinling, all the way to the middle stage of Yinling!

"This... what's going on?" Chen Tian looked at Jia Yan, who was devouring the second cyan insect, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Tsk tsk, little brat, this demonic puppet of yours is really a good treasure, where did you get it?" At this moment, Duan Muya, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Chen Tian was slightly surprised when he heard Duan Muya's words. He did not expect that this old guy could recognize Jia Yan as a demonic puppet at a glance.

But after thinking about it for a while, Chen Tian suddenly realized. After all, this guy was an old monster in the Ninghai realm, who had lived for thousands of years, and might have seen demonic puppets somewhere.

So Chen Tian did not hide anything and said truthfully, "To be honest, senior, this demonic puppet was refined by this junior."

"What? You?" Hearing Chen Tian's words, Duan Muya suddenly revealed a trace of surprise, looked him up and down as if he was seeing Chen Tian for the first time, and then laughed strangely, "It seems that this old man is really out of touch with the times. I didn't expect that the little brats nowadays are so powerful."

Chen Tian felt a little depressed after hearing this, because he really didn't know whether Duan Muya's words were praising or sarcastic.

But Chen Tian was too lazy to distinguish it. He glanced at Duan Muya thoughtfully, and then asked, "Senior, since you recognize my demonic puppet, then you should also know something about demonic puppets. So this junior boldly asks, why did my demonic puppet's strength suddenly increase so much after eating that cyan insect?"

Chen Tian was indeed a little puzzled. Although he knew that these cyan insects must have a special effect on Jia Yan, he really did not expect that Jia Yan's strength would increase so rapidly after eating them!

It crossed a realm all at once, which was definitely a shocking thing in the world of cultivation.

Seeing the doubtful look on Chen Tian's face, Duan Muya smiled and said, "Little brat, do you know what these cyan insects are?"

Hearing Duan Muya's question, Chen Tian glanced at the peculiar-looking cyan insect again, and then shook his head and said, "This junior really doesn't know. Before entering the Fallen Immortal Valley, I had never seen such a strange green worm."

"Hehe, you don't know, do you?" Hearing Chen Tian say that he didn't understand, Duan Muya smiled very proudly and said, "Okay, this old man will be merciful and tell you, listen carefully, this green worm is called the Xuanmo Banshi insect, and it is a beast of evil bred by heaven and earth!"

"Xuanmo Banshi insect?" Chen Tian was slightly surprised after hearing this. After frowning, he said, "May I ask, senior, what kind of insect is this? It seems that there is no record of the origin of this insect in the world of cultivation."

Indeed, after hearing Duan Muya report the name of this cyan insect, Chen Tian quickly searched through his mind and found that there were no legends about this insect on the Qian Yuan Continent.

"Hmph, that's for sure! This insect had already become extinct in the era when this old man lived. If this old man hadn't accidentally obtained a book recording various ancient strange objects, I'm afraid I wouldn't have recognized this insect either," Duan Muya said with some pride.

"What? Senior, are you saying that this insect is an ancient object?" Chen Tian was shocked and asked.

Duan Muya seemed to like seeing Chen Tian's surprised appearance very much. He smiled and explained in detail, "Actually, strictly speaking, this insect is even earlier than the ancient era. It is a beast of evil bred from the turbid and filthy qi between heaven and earth. Moreover, this thing does not often appear in people's eyes, but once it appears, it means that there must be a large number of corpses nearby! It is an ominous beast, so it is often hated by people and called the Xuanmo Banshi insect!"

"A beast born with corpses?" Hearing this sentence, Chen Tian was even more surprised. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Senior, are you mistaken about this? There are no corpses here, how could this beast be born?"

"Oh, are you really so sure?" At this time, a strange expression appeared on Duan Muya's face, and he said with a smile that was not a smile.

Chen Tian was stunned after hearing this. After his eyes flickered rapidly for a while, he asked, "Senior, what exactly do you want to say?"
