Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Haha, Daoist friend, no need to panic. You'll understand once you see it.” Old Ancestor Motian chuckled, not speaking directly, but creating suspense.

Chen Tian's brow furrowed slightly upon seeing this. After pondering for a moment, he ultimately accepted the cyan jade slip, placing it against his forehead to examine it.

‘Immortal Devil Divine Art!’

The moment Chen Tian's spiritual sense entered the jade slip, four large characters, shimmering with brilliant light, appeared before his eyes.

“Eh!”

Chen Tian was immediately startled, hastily withdrawing his spiritual sense from the jade slip, looking at Old Ancestor Motian with a face full of suspicion.

Meeting Chen Tian's astonished gaze, Old Ancestor Motian said nothing, but smiled and nodded at him, as if encouraging Chen Tian to continue reading.

Chen Tian's eyes narrowed, and he closed his eyes again, releasing his divine sense into the jade slip.

As he expected, what was recorded in the jade slip was indeed the cultivation method of Old Ancestor Motian's lineage, named ‘Immortal Devil Divine Art’.

This cultivation method was not long, only a few thousand words, but its content was extremely profound, every word a gem. Chen Tian was deeply attracted to it after only one glance, sometimes pondering, sometimes frowning, and sometimes applauding, seemingly completely immersed in it.

“Genius! Truly a genius! The creator of this cultivation method is definitely a genius, unprecedented and unmatched! ”

After a long while, Chen Tian finally withdrew his spiritual sense from the jade slip, but his face was filled with excitement.

“Oh, can Daoist friend comprehend the profundity within this cultivation method?” Seeing Chen Tian's excited appearance, Old Ancestor Motian chuckled and asked him.

“Of course.” Chen Tian nodded and said, “From a long time ago, I felt that the current cultivation world is too rigid and adheres too much to the rules, only inheriting and upholding the traditions passed down by the ancients, sticking to conventions.

Anyone who deviates from tradition is labeled a ‘heretic’ and then excluded.

This has made the entire cultivation world full of old air, like a pool of stagnant water without life, full of flies and maggots.

But this ‘Immortal Devil Divine Art’ is different. Its creator unprecedentedly broke the rules, creating a new cultivation method with an almost revolutionary concept, like a fresh breeze, stirring up ripples on the still water, causing people to marvel and admire its whimsical ideas after reading it!”

Although he had only skimmed through it once, Chen Tian greatly admired this ‘Immortal Devil Divine Art’ that integrated immortal and devil cultivation methods, and couldn't help but describe it as a ‘book of genius’.

Old Ancestor Motian's mood also became excited after hearing Chen Tian's evaluation, and he said, “As expected, I didn't misjudge you, Daoist friend! You are indeed our destined one!”

“Destined one?” Chen Tian was stunned after hearing this, and asked in confusion, “What does senior mean by this?”

“Haha, Daoist friend, don't panic, take a look at this one.”

Old Ancestor Motian laughed, and then a red jade slip flew out from his wide sleeves, shooting towards Chen Tian.

Upon seeing this, Chen Tian reached out and caught it, then unhesitatingly placed the jade slip on his forehead, carefully examining it.

The content recorded in this jade slip was even less, only a few sentences, but after Chen Tian finished reading it, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and he asked Old Ancestor Motian, “Are the precepts mentioned here personally written by the senior's ancestor?”

“That's right.” Old Ancestor Motian nodded, took the red jade slip back from Chen Tian's hand, and said, “When our ancestor joined the Brahma Sect, he clearly realized that the Brahma Sect was not a place where we could live for long. One day, the Brahma Sect would attack us, and at that time, it would be the time when our lineage would be destroyed. Therefore, before his death, he left this precept, so that we would always be vigilant against the Brahma Sect.”

“Then what does that have to do with whether I am a destined one?” Chen Tian still asked in confusion.

“Daoist friend, don't worry, take a look at this jade slip.”

Having said that, Old Ancestor Motian's body suddenly stopped, his hands covering up and down, a piece of colorful spiritual light flashed, and another black jade slip appeared between his palms.

It was actually the third jade slip!

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian's flying body also suddenly suspended, staring at the jade slip in Old Ancestor Motian's hand with a surprised expression.

“Before his death, the ancestor passed down a total of three jade slips. The first two record one, the ‘Immortal Devil Divine Art’, and two, the ‘precept’ that tells us to be careful of the Brahma Sect. And this black jade slip is the third jade slip passed down by our ancestor.” At this time, Old Ancestor Motian put away the smile on his face and stared at Chen Tian with an incomparably serious face.

Chen Tian's expression also became serious, and he asked in a deep voice, “Then what is recorded in this third jade slip?”

“A person!” Old Ancestor Motian looked solemn, saying each word distinctly, “A destined one who can save our lineage!”

Chen Tian was stunned after hearing this, he stared blankly at Old Ancestor Motian, unable to speak for a long time.

Old Ancestor Motian continued, “In fact, before his death, the ancestor used all his power to calculate the last divination for us, and sealed the divination image in this black jade slip, warning us that we will inevitably have a disaster in the future, but telling us not to be afraid, because a destined one will come to rescue us, he will lead us out of the predicament and ensure our eternal peace. The ancestor finally said that when this destined one appears, we must respect him as our master, and we must always listen to his orders, and never betray him!”

Hearing this, Chen Tian took a deep breath, a look of shock appeared on his face, as if he had vaguely guessed something.

Old Ancestor Motian still stared closely at Chen Tian, and continued to speak, “This black jade slip has the ancestor's seal on it. For thousands of years, we have been unable to open it no matter what method we use, but coincidentally, just as Daoist friend appeared in the Brahma Sect's square just now, this black jade slip suddenly floated up on its own, and projected a figure in my room.”

“A figure? Could it be?” Hearing this, Chen Tian was even more surprised, and hurriedly asked Old Ancestor Motian.

Old Ancestor Motian did not speak, but injected a trace of spiritual power into the black jade slip, and suddenly the jade slip bloomed with bursts of gorgeous colorful light.

As these colorful lights gathered more and more, they suddenly shone in the air, condensing a figure of a man.

The man was about twenty years old, wearing a white robe, with his head slightly raised, looking up at the sky, his face forever showing a plain expression that didn't reveal anything.

This phantom was none other than Chen Tian!
