Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Looking at the familiar figure before him, a scorching rage instantly flared in ‘Junior Brother Wen’s’ eyes.

That's right, the person hiding inside ‘Junior Brother Wen’s’ body at this moment was none other than Chen Tian!

Chen Tian had used ‘Junior Brother Wen’s’ body to sneak here, all for the sake of clarifying a doubt in his heart.

However, upon seeing the middle-aged man with the small mustache before him, all the mysteries in Chen Tian's mind were solved.

His guess was correct; the one occupying this Vegetable Basket Village and mining the spirit stones was indeed Ling Yazi!

Ling Yazi was a memory that Chen Tian could never erase in his life. Back then, he had brought Little Dragon from thousands of miles away to the Immortal Feather Sect, wanting to join the sect and learn immortal techniques.

But fate played a trick on them. When Chen Tian and Little Dragon arrived, the Immortal Feather Sect's recruitment ceremony had already ended.

Disheartened, Chen Tian originally intended to take Little Dragon back the way they came, planning to continue their wandering life. But at this moment, Ling Yazi appeared.

At first, Ling Yazi deceived Chen Tian and Little Dragon, saying that he was an elder in the Immortal Feather Sect and had a way to get them to join the Immortal Feather Sect and attain immortality.

Hearing this, Chen Tian and Little Dragon, who were still very young at the time, were naturally overjoyed and regarded this kind-looking middle-aged man as a living Bodhisattva.

But who knew that what awaited them next was not a beautiful path of cultivating immortality, but endless torment in a dark and sunless place.

It turned out that Ling Yazi was not an elder of the Immortal Feather Sect at all, but just an ordinary disciple. And the place he took Chen Tian and Little Dragon to was not a place for cultivating immortality, but a mine for extracting immortal crystal stones.

Although Chen Tian raised questions at the time, Ling Yazi patted his chest and promised that as long as they worked in the spirit mine for two years, they would be qualified to enter the Immortal Feather Sect to learn immortal techniques.

Hearing these enticing words, and seeing that there were thousands of other children of the same age in the spirit mine besides them, Chen Tian believed it and worked diligently every day in the mine to extract immortal crystal stones.

But as time went on, Chen Tian finally noticed something was wrong. First, the food rations given to them were decreasing day by day. Second, Ling Yazi changed his previous kind and benevolent face, and would kick and beat them for the slightest dissatisfaction.

However, these were not the most terrifying things.

What was truly terrifying was that in this mine, many sick children disappeared every day.

At that time, Ling Yazi's explanation was that he had specially exempted them from future labor and taken them to the Immortal Feather Sect to practice immortal techniques in advance because he pitied these children.

Faced with this explanation, the young children at the time not only believed it but also faintly felt that Ling Yazi was a good person.

Chen Tian also thought so. He thought it didn't matter if things were hard or tiring, as long as he could join the Immortal Feather Sect in the end, then everything would be worth it.

So in the days that followed, Chen Tian worked even harder, just wanting to leave a good impression on Ling Yazi.

But who knew that all of this would be shattered on that ordinary night.

That night, because Little Dragon was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, Chen Tian secretly came out to look for some grass roots nearby to satisfy his hunger, and unintentionally, he stumbled upon a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

He saw Ling Yazi ordering people to dig a large pit behind the barren mountain and bury the sick children alive in it.

The scene that night and Ling Yazi's devilish expression were deeply imprinted in Chen Tian's mind, haunting him for the rest of his life.

It was from that night that Chen Tian devised an escape plan, and finally, after accumulating enough dry food, he took Little Dragon out of the hell controlled by Ling Yazi.

After a series of accidental events, Chen Tian and Little Dragon unexpectedly joined the Immortal Feather Sect, thus embarking on the path of cultivating immortality.

It was just that since then, Chen Tian had never seen Ling Yazi again. Until the Immortal Feather Sect was destroyed, Chen Tian only felt that this person had probably already died in the war.

But what Chen Tian never expected was that nearly two hundred years later, he would be able to see him again in this remote village.

Moreover, Chen Tian had investigated, and Ling Yazi's cultivation at this time had actually reached the early stage of the Transformation Spring Realm! It was not necessary to think to know that Ling Yazi must have had some kind of fortuitous encounter in these two hundred years, otherwise, his cultivation could not have skyrocketed so much.

But the moment he saw Ling Yazi, the anger hidden in Chen Tian's heart was instantly ignited.

Chen Tian believed that if he hadn't accidentally seen through Ling Yazi's true face that night, Chen Tian would probably have died from the heavy labor by now.

So seeing this person again, the killing intent in Chen Tian's heart instantly erupted.

"Disciple understands Master's good intentions. Disciple will definitely serve Master well."

‘Junior Brother Wen’ replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Ling Yazi seemed very satisfied, nodded, and beckoned: "You've come back just in time. You have excellent talent. Come and help your teacher deduce the celestial numbers on this compass together, and see what's wrong. Why can't we find the spirit mine?"

‘Junior Brother Wen’ nodded after hearing this, and then silently walked to Ling Yazi's side.

From beginning to end, Ling Yazi was staring blankly at the compass, muttering to himself, looking extremely distressed.

At this time, ‘Junior Brother Wen’s’ body was actually being controlled by Chen Tian, so seeing Ling Yazi's unguarded appearance, a cold sneer couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

He saw that on his left hand, he suddenly used spiritual power to condense an invisible light sword, intending to sneak attack Ling Yazi from behind while he was not paying attention.

Thinking like this, ‘Junior Brother Wen’ silently came behind Ling Yazi.

"Come and take a look. Your teacher has calculated it three times today, but the compass always shows this hexagram. What do you think this means?" After Chen Tian arrived, Ling Yazi handed him the compass in his hand.

Chen Tian frowned upon seeing this. After thinking for a while, he finally stretched out his empty right hand, intending to take the compass.

But what Chen Tian didn't expect was that just as his hand touched the compass, a dark black long snake suddenly rushed out from behind the compass and bit his arm in one bite.

At the same time, Ling Yazi turned into a stream of light, quickly rushed out of the hall, and flew out.
