Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"So, kid, did you find anything?"

Seeing Chen Tian groping around inside Song Yi's body for a while, Ren Xue couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"Nothing at all!" Chen Tian shook his head and said, "Senior, why don't you tell me, what exactly are you looking for? What shape is it? If I have a general idea, it will be easier for me to find."

Chen Tian wasn't lying; he really didn't find anything inside Song Yi's corpse.

Upon hearing his question, Ren Xue hesitated, seemingly unwilling to say more to Chen Tian.

However, seeing that Chen Tian had been searching for a long time without finding anything, she couldn't help but panic. After thinking for a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Alright, I'll reveal a little bit to you. It should be a jade slip or a scroll, protected by five-colored spiritual light. Just look for those two shapes."

"Jade slip or scroll?"

Chen Tian couldn't help but feel puzzled. Both of these are recording devices. Could it be that what Ren Xue is looking for is some kind of information recorded on the jade slip or scroll?

Thinking of this, Chen Tian couldn't help but ask again, "Senior, you're making me suffer so much just to find a broken scroll? Isn't that too much? Does it record something very valuable?"

"Of course! Although it's not worth much in itself, what's recorded on it is extremely valuable! If it were to be leaked into the cultivation world, it would definitely cause a huge uproar," Ren Xue said excitedly, unable to hide the excitement in her eyes.

Hearing these words, Chen Tian's movements suddenly stopped. He was even more certain that what Ren Xue was looking for must be extremely precious.

"Hey, kid, what are you stopping for? Hurry up and look! Do you still want your hands? If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid your hands will melt in the venom! Even if I let you go then, you'll be a cripple!" Seeing Chen Tian's movements stop, Ren Xue frowned and urged.

Hearing her words, Chen Tian immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll look right away!"

With that, Chen Tian raised his 'carbonized' hands and continued to search inside Song Yi's corpse, which was filled with green venom.

While searching, Chen Tian maintained a posture of gritting his teeth and veins popping out on his forehead, seemingly enduring unimaginable pain.

But in reality, it was all an act by Chen Tian; he was actually quite comfortable.

Although it seemed that Chen Tian's hands were reaching into Song Yi's corpse filled with venom, in reality, Chen Tian's hands were always in his chest pockets. The ones that were actually reaching out were two withered and red arms, like skeletons—the corpse puppet's hands!

Originally, Chen Tian had asked Duanmu Ya to use his spiritual sense to set up an illusion array, switching his hands with the corpse puppet's hands, allowing the corpse puppet to reach into Song Yi's body to search.

Because Duanmu Ya was a Ninghai realm expert, although he had lost his physical body, his spiritual sense was still preserved. Therefore, under his spell, Ren Xue, who was only in the late Huasquan realm, couldn't see through it no matter what.

Of course, the two corpse puppets were suffering unspeakably at this time.

Although, in order to alleviate their pain, Chen Tian had specially made them each only extend one hand. Even so, after being burned by the green venom, they were still unable to withstand the piercing pain, and they let out shrill howls in Chen Tian's mind.

After hearing it too much, Chen Tian couldn't help but feel annoyed and scolded, "Humph, what are you howling about! Didn't I already promise you? If you are willing to listen to me obediently, then after this is over, I will find a few more 'Xuanmo Companion Corpse Insects' for you to eat. What, are you unwilling?"

Hearing Chen Tian say that he would find a few more 'Xuanmo Companion Corpse Insects' for them to eat, they immediately quieted down, their eyes filled with excitement.

Chen Tian couldn't help but shake his head at the sight. These two corpse puppets were indeed difficult to control, unable to completely obey Chen Tian's orders, and could only rely on some small favors or use Jia Yan to subdue them.

Although he felt a little headache about this matter, Chen Tian didn't take it too much to heart. After all, he still had the ability to subdue these two corpse puppets, and everything was not worth worrying about.

After receiving Chen Tian's guarantee, the two corpse puppets instantly became excited and stopped howling, instead quickly searching inside Song Yi's body.

They had just searched Song Yi's liver, intestines, and lungs, but all were fruitless. So, at this time, they reached into Song Yi's heart.

However, just after they had searched for a while, one of the corpse puppets seemed to have discovered something and immediately let out an excited 'woo woo' sound.

Hearing this sound, Chen Tian's expression also brightened, and he hurriedly separated a strand of spiritual sense, extending along the corpse puppet's arm into Song Yi's body.

When he reached Song Yi's heart, a cyan jade slip immediately appeared before Chen Tian's eyes.

After all, being hidden in the heart by Song Yi as if it were a treasure, and protected by the extraordinary five-colored spiritual light, was enough to illustrate its importance.

"What exactly could be inside?" Chen Tian looked at the jade slip, a hint of doubt flashing across his face.

"Hey, kid, have you found it yet?" Seeing Chen Tian stop again, Ren Xue asked anxiously.

Hearing this, Chen Tian immediately woke up.

However, Chen Tian still maintained that honest appearance, smiling and said, "Senior, please wait a moment, I seem to have found something, I'll take it out for you."

"What? You… you found it!" Chen Tian's words brought Ren Xue endless excitement, making her speak excitedly.

Hearing this, Chen Tian just smiled and didn't say anything else. Then, he exerted force outwards with both hands, and pulled out a cyan jade slip wrapped in five-colored spiritual light from Song Yi's body.

"Senior, is this what you're looking for?" Chen Tian pinched the jade slip with his charred, carbon-like arms and asked Ren Xue indifferently.

When Ren Xue saw this jade slip, her eyes immediately radiated excitement, and she nodded, "That's right, that's it, you did very well, now quickly give it to me!"

Saying that, Ren Xue took a step forward, wanting to take the jade slip from Chen Tian's hand.
