Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Frowning, Chen Tian stared at the light vortex radiating chaotic light, then suddenly summoned his two corpse puppets.

Having absorbed nearly ten thousand immortal crystals, they had mostly recovered and now stood blankly, unsure of what Chen Tian wanted them to do.

Chen Tian looked at them, pointed at the light vortex, and coldly ordered, "You two, go scout ahead!"

Normally, these two corpse puppets would definitely refuse, and Chen Tian was prepared to summon Jia Yan to discipline them.

However, to Chen Tian's surprise, the two corpse puppets neither objected nor agreed. Instead, they went to the edge of the light vortex, bent over to look inside, then straightened up, held out a finger to Chen Tian, and said in a slurred tone, "One… ten… thousand… one… ten… thousand…"

At first, Chen Tian didn't understand their intentions, but after a moment's thought, he suddenly realized.

However, even so, Chen Tian would not easily satisfy them. He shook his head and said, "Ten thousand is too much! Five thousand! Do you want it or not?"

Hearing Chen Tian's offer, the two corpse puppets looked at each other, secretly calculated, and then nodded sharply, happily agreeing.

Frankly speaking, ten thousand immortal crystals were nothing to Chen Tian now, but he wouldn't easily satisfy these corpse puppets' demands. Because Chen Tian knew that if he let them think he was easy to bully, next time, they would dare to ask for twenty thousand, fifty thousand, one hundred thousand, or even one million!

And once Chen Tian refused to pay, these two corpse puppets would definitely become passive again, and even Jia Yan would not be able to command them.

Therefore, Chen Tian had to suppress the ambitions of these two corpse puppets within a controllable range, neither exceeding nor shortchanging them.

Just then, the two satisfied demonic beasts stepped forward and plunged into the light vortex that flickered with chaotic light.

However, the moment they entered the light vortex, they immediately screamed shrilly, their bodies burning fiercely as if they had been set on fire, and retreated in terror.

"Huh?"

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian revealed a hint of surprise and frowned as he looked at the two corpse puppets.

Back outside, the flames on the two corpse puppets were still burning fiercely, and it was unknown what this flame was, as the corpse puppets couldn't extinguish it no matter how they beat at it. Furthermore, under the scorching of the flames, wisps of red smoke floated out of the corpse puppets' bodies, causing them to gradually shrink.

After watching for a while, Chen Tian suddenly reached out and grabbed a wisp of flame in his palm.

A magical scene appeared. The flame that had caused the two corpse puppets to suffer so much was as docile as a sheep in Chen Tian's hand. Not only did it not harm Chen Tian, but it even trembled as if it were very afraid of him.

Chen Tian's expression became even stranger as he stared at the flame, lost in thought.

"Aww… Aww…"

But at this moment, the screams of the two corpse puppets grew louder. They were beating at the flames on their bodies, but to no avail. Instead, the flames burned even more fiercely.

Hearing these shrill roars, Chen Tian finally came back to his senses. He waved his hand and shot out a golden light that struck the two corpse puppets. The golden light shone brightly, instantly extinguishing the strange flames.

Seeing this scene, the two corpse puppets excitedly embraced each other, revealing the joy of surviving a disaster.

However, Chen Tian didn't let them be happy for too long. He pointed at the light vortex again and ordered expressionlessly, "You, go down again!"

Chen Tian's words were like a thunderclap in summer, instantly stunning the originally excited corpse puppets.

Coming back to their senses, they retreated repeatedly, refusing to go down again no matter what.

Seeing this, Chen Tian frowned and said, "I'll add two thousand immortal crystals. Will you go or not?"

Hearing Chen Tian say he would add two thousand immortal crystals, the eyes of the two corpse puppets immediately shone with excitement, and they nodded frantically.

These two corpse puppets were indeed too greedy, but this was also a good thing for Chen Tian, as it allowed him to easily control them.

After a pause, the two corpse puppets took a deep breath and were about to jump into the light vortex that terrified them again.

"Wait!"

However, just then, Chen Tian suddenly stopped them.

The corpse puppets' eyes flashed with confusion as they looked at Chen Tian, wondering what he meant.

Chen Tian didn't say much, but with a flick of his sleeve, he shot out two more golden lights, enveloping the two corpse puppets separately. Then he said, "Now, you can try to go down."

The two corpse puppets looked at the golden light on their bodies. Although they didn't know what Chen Tian's intention was, they quickly jumped into the light vortex.

But this time, something unexpected happened to them.

The moment the two corpse puppets jumped into the light vortex, the strange flames from before flew towards them again, and it looked like they were about to devour them.

The two corpse puppets also closed their eyes in despair, preparing to experience that excruciating feeling again.

However, who would have thought that what happened next would shock them.

Just as the flames attacked, the golden light that Chen Tian had blessed the two corpse puppets with suddenly shone brightly, and the flames seemed to be very afraid of this golden light, retreating like a tide.

Seeing that the flames were no longer attacking them, the two corpse puppets immediately rejoiced and even took the initiative to fly towards the flames. And wherever they went, the flames hurriedly retreated, not daring to approach them.

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Ya suddenly became surprised. He didn't look at the two corpse puppets, but turned to look at Chen Tian, who had a faint smile on his face, and thought in fear, "This child has many secrets. What is his origin?"
