Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

At this moment, the Basket Village was still shrouded in that strange, gloomy cloud, and every villager's heart was filled with dark clouds as well.

They were all silent, their gazes fixed on the same spot.

There, Erwa's father, his hair already gray, was holding Erwa's dead body, weeping sorrowfully.

From prolonged crying, the old man's eyes were swollen and red, tears mixed with blood streaks sliding down his weathered face.

Not far away, Erwa's mother had also arrived, but the moment she saw Erwa's body, the already frail woman suddenly collapsed, and if someone nearby hadn't rushed to support her, she would have fallen to the ground long ago.

However, she couldn't care about any of that at this moment; a feeling of grief spread through her heart, causing her to burst into loud sobs.

A woman's voice is naturally high-pitched, and coupled with her being in a state of extreme grief, her loud cries instantly echoed in the sky and fell into everyone's hearts.

Everyone was infected by this sad emotion, grabbing the corners of their clothes to wipe away the tears that had unknowingly fallen on their faces.

A sense of sorrow filled everyone's hearts; they couldn't understand why things had turned out this way. Could the old days really never return?

Just when everyone was feeling a deep sense of sorrow, a man in a white robe suddenly strode from the distant sky.

However, because the distance was too far, people only saw a blurry figure and couldn't clearly see his appearance.

Therefore, upon seeing this man, the villagers thought that those evil demonic cultivators had returned, so they picked up their hoes, shovels, and other tools, guarding with angry expressions.

After enduring so many years of inhuman life, they had long been pushed to their limits, and now they could finally no longer endure it; they felt that rather than living such a miserable and humiliating existence, they might as well fight to the death.

Even if they died, it would be better than the current inhuman state.

So, at this moment, they all made up their minds that once the evil demonic cultivator landed, they would swarm him and fight him to the death!

Although they knew they definitely couldn't win, they didn't care at all; they just wanted to fight for one last breath.

So, those disheveled villagers, tightly holding various tools in their hands, stood in a line, staring at the descending person with firm and resolute eyes.

… … … … … … … … … …

"Wait a minute, look quickly, isn't that Uncle Chen?"

Just when everyone was on high alert, a surprised voice suddenly shouted.

It turned out that someone with sharp eyes in the village immediately recognized the person flying over as Chen Tian, who had been missing for a long time.

Upon hearing his shout, everyone paused for a moment, then looked at Chen Tian, who was descending, with puzzled expressions. After a while, they all let go of their vigilance and shouted excitedly, "That's right, it's really Chen the blacksmith coming back!"

Everyone originally thought that the newcomers were the evil demonic cultivators who forced them to mine, so they prepared to resist to the death, but they didn't expect that the person who landed in the end was Chen Tian, who had lived in Basket Village for decades, which made them happy.

However, at this moment, a child of about twelve or thirteen years old suddenly asked in surprise, "Strange, why can this person fly in the sky?"

This child was born during the time Chen Tian disappeared, so he didn't recognize Chen Tian; he only cared about why a mortal could fly in the sky.

After seeing Chen Tian, the villagers were all very happy, and for a moment they had ignored this strange thing. But upon hearing the child's reminder, everyone woke up in shock and looked at Chen Tian with horrified expressions.

In the complex gazes of surprise and fear from the crowd, Chen Tian's figure slowly descended and finally landed in front of them.

However, Chen Tian ignored them and walked through the crowd, heading straight for Erwa's father, who was still crying in pain.

Because Erwa's father was only focused on crying just now, he didn't see the magical phenomenon when Chen Tian landed, so he didn't know Chen Tian's identity. Someone around him couldn't sit still anymore, so he hurriedly reminded him.

Upon hearing this reminder, Erwa's father was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly knelt down in front of Chen Tian, kowtowing to him while shouting, "Brother Chen… no… Immortal, if you can really save my Erwa, then I will do whatever you ask me to do, even if it means being your ox or horse."

Looking at Erwa's father's excited appearance, Chen Tian frowned slightly, then gently raised his hand, and a gentle breeze floated out, supporting his body and slowly lifting him up from the ground, "Brother Zhang, you should still call me Brother Chen as before. Erwa is also my disciple, and I naturally won't stand by and watch something happen to him."

Looking at Chen Tian's kind face, Erwa's father's eyes were blurred, and tears instantly flowed down, wiping them away while saying excitedly, "Yes, yes, Brother Chen, I understand."

Chen Tian smiled upon seeing this, then walked past him and came to Erwa's body.

After taking a closer look at Erwa's current situation, Chen Tian breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Erwa was killed by that cultivator surnamed Wen, and before he died, the cultivator surnamed Wen planned to use Erwa to make a Myriad Souls Sun-Veiling Banner, so he kept his soul intact in his body.

The soul is the spirit of all things. As long as the soul is intact, then even if one dies, they can be resurrected.

And Erwa's situation is like this. His soul is still trapped in his body. As long as it is released again, and then the external injuries are healed, then he can be brought back to life.

After making this calculation in his heart, Chen Tian no longer hesitated, extended his right index finger, and pointed it at Erwa's forehead. Golden light flickered, and pure spiritual power continuously poured into Erwa's body.

At the same time, a magical scene appeared.
