Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Just as these spirit talismans were suppressed, the 'King Talisman' didn't fly back into Chen Tian's hand. Instead, it remained suspended in the valley, emitting strange red light.

Seeing this, Chen Tian, who had already taken a step forward, immediately stopped. Then, he retreated to his original position, his eyes darting around as he looked at the 'King Talisman' with a puzzled expression!

"Whoosh…"

Accompanied by a strange sound, the red light on the 'King Talisman' shone to the extreme, emitting a dazzling light like a blood-red sun.

Chen Tian's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. Without hesitation, he continuously retreated backward.

However, to Chen Tian's dismay, just as he was retreating, the wall of light instantly advanced, blocking his path of retreat.

According to Duanmu Ya, as long as one couldn't pass through this valley, no one could retreat.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian felt anxious and frustrated, but he couldn't lose his temper. He could only look at the sky again, wanting to see what would happen next.

In the sky, the light emitted from the 'King Talisman' could no longer be called light. It was more like human blood, thick and scarlet, scattering in all directions.

They were like tentacles, linking all the hundreds of spirit talismans in the valley together.

The tentacles wriggled, extracting a surge of vast spiritual power from each spirit talisman and then converging it into the 'King Talisman'.

After absorbing such a vast amount of spiritual power, the 'King Talisman' suddenly exploded in the air, revealing a huge human face.

It was the face of an old man, with wrinkles like ravines, revealing an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.

The old man's eyes were hollow, with nothing in the dark depths, but Chen Tian could sense the old man's inner sorrow from those eyes.

"Who has awakened me!"

This was the first sentence the old man spoke. Although the voice wasn't loud, it echoed repeatedly in the narrow valley like rolling thunder.

Although Chen Tian already possessed the cultivation of the Spirit Gathering stage, after hearing this sentence, he only felt a tightness in his chest. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Duanmu Ya didn't fare any better. He had lost his physical body, leaving only a remnant soul to reside in Chen Tian's mind. At this moment, after hearing the old man's words, his soul body howled and screamed as if a nail had been hammered into it.

After finally reducing the pain a little, he looked at the human face in the valley and couldn't help but be horrified. He screamed, "You… you are the cultivator I killed thousands of years ago?"

Hearing Duanmu Ya's words, Chen Tian was surprised. Could this old man be Feng Qingzi?

The giant human face in the valley obviously heard Duanmu Ya's words as well. He slightly turned his head, and a wisp of dark light shot out from his empty eyes. His weathered voice sounded again, "Although I don't remember what happened between you and me, I always feel very annoyed when I hear your voice! You… shut up for me!"

After speaking, a dark light shot out from the old man's eye socket and rushed into Chen Tian's forehead.

As soon as this dark light entered, it instantly transformed into a rectangular black cage, trapping Duanmu Ya's soul body within it.

Chen Tian was shocked to see this. He didn't expect that the old man would instantly trap Duanmu Ya, who was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, with a single move.

This made Chen Tian deeply realize the old man's power, so he secretly restrained his attitude and stood respectfully to the side without speaking.

At this time, the old man finally noticed Chen Tian. After pausing slightly, he asked, "Are you with him?"

Chen Tian wasn't a fool. After witnessing Duanmu Ya's fate, how could he admit to having any connection with Duanmu Ya? So, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Senior has misunderstood. This junior doesn't know that demon. It's just that this demon is powerful and has possessed this junior's body, refusing to leave. This junior also feels very helpless about this."

"Is that so?" Hearing Chen Tian's words, the old man frowned, as if he was weighing the truth of the matter.

Of course, Chen Tian wouldn't give him time to think, so he hurriedly spoke again, "By the way, didn't Senior ask who awakened you just now? To be honest, that person is me!"

"You?" Sure enough, after hearing Chen Tian's words, all of the old man's attention was drawn over. He said in a deep voice, "In that case, have you already obtained my legacy?"

It could be clearly heard that the old man's attitude towards Chen Tian was much more amiable.

Chen Tian's heart trembled after hearing this. He knew that the 'legacy' the old man was talking about must be the 'True Explanation of Talismans'!

"Huh?"

Chen Tian was stunned for a moment after hearing the old man's words, but he quickly recovered and laughed with ecstasy, "Master is above, please accept this disciple's bow!"

Chen Tian's heart was really blossoming with joy. He didn't expect Feng Qingzi to directly accept him as a disciple.

This Feng Qingzi was a great talisman-making master of his generation, able to use spirit talismans to fight against the Nascent Soul Realm without falling behind with the cultivation of the Spirit Gathering stage.

Such a legendary story had long made Chen Tian yearn for it, so at this time, when he heard Feng Qingzi say that he wanted to accept him as a disciple, Chen Tian agreed without thinking.

Chen Tian thought to himself that Feng Qingzi would definitely not accept Chen Tian as a disciple for no reason, and should give him some benefits, right?

Sure enough, Feng Qingzi's voice sounded again unhurriedly, "I have exhausted my life studying the Dao of Talismans and have achieved quite a bit, but the only regret that makes me worry is that I can't find someone to inherit my mantle, what a pity! What a pity!"

Hearing this, Chen Tian pondered for a moment and knew what he wanted to say, so he hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Master, this disciple has been yearning for the Dao of Talismans. When reading Master's masterpiece, I was deeply impressed by Master's wisdom, so if Master doesn't mind, then this disciple is willing to learn the Dao of Talismans and inherit Master's mantle!"

"Are you serious about this?" Feng Qingzi asked with some excitement after hearing Chen Tian's words.

Chen Tian smiled slightly in his heart, only a fool wouldn't want to.

However, of course, he didn't say this, but said very firmly, "This disciple will definitely carry forward the Dao of Talismans!"
