Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The dense wounds on Erwa's body were rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye under the golden light. Before long, the wounds on his body had completely disappeared, and there was no trace of any injury.

Seeing this scene, Erwa's father and mother were so excited that they couldn't speak. They held hands tightly, their faces full of anticipation.

After a while, Erwa's tightly closed eyes suddenly twitched, and then slowly opened.

When Erwa's vision had just recovered, the first person he saw was Chen Tian, standing above him.

Looking at Chen Tian's peaceful and smiling face, Erwa blinked, then murmured softly, "Eh, is this the underworld? Why is it different from what I imagined? Uncle Chen, it's been over twenty years since we last met. Could it be that you're also dead and have come to pick me up?"

Still in a daze, Erwa felt that the place he was in was the underworld, and Chen Tian was also a deceased soul, specially there to guide him.

"You silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about! Don't be so rude to your Uncle Chen! Do you believe I'll beat you to death!"

Suddenly, at this moment, Erwa's father suddenly knocked hard on Erwa's forehead.

Erwa felt pain, and his consciousness suddenly gathered like a tide. He stood up and looked around. When he saw the familiar mountains, rivers, and villagers, Erwa finally woke up. He raised his hands and touched his cheeks, saying in disbelief, "Could it be... I'm not dead yet?"

"Silly child, of course you're not dead. If you died... what would we old folks do?"

Seeing Erwa resurrected, Erwa's father and mother felt a pang in their noses and began to sob softly again, but this time, they were tears of joy.

Erwa, who had been reborn from death, was also very moved. He immediately knelt down to the two elders and kowtowed, "This unfilial son has made Father and Mother sad, I deserve to die!"

"Pah, pah, you've just come back to life, why are you talking about death and dying again? It's bad luck." Hearing Erwa's words, his mother immediately spat on the ground, as if to sweep away the bad omen.

This appearance naturally drew a burst of laughter from Erwa's father and the other villagers.

After laughing, Erwa's father seemed to remember something, and immediately said to Erwa, "Actually, the person you should be most grateful to is your Uncle Chen. If it weren't for him, you would have really died, so hurry up and kowtow to your Uncle Chen."

"Yes, yes, we should thank Brother Chen properly." Erwa's mother also chimed in at this time, "Erwa, you don't know, your Uncle Chen is no ordinary person, but a god."

"What? A god!"

Hearing this, Erwa was immediately stunned, but soon, he calmed down. That's right, being able to resurrect a dead person, if this isn't the ability of a god, then what is it?

And when he thought that he had been learning blacksmithing from a god for decades, Erwa's heart was filled with endless joy in addition to deep shock.

He hurriedly turned around, intending to express the excitement in his heart to Chen Tian, but at this moment, something surprising happened: Chen Tian had actually disappeared from the spot.

Just now, everyone's focus was on Erwa, so no one knew when Chen Tian had disappeared. Surprised, the crowd turned their heads to look around, wanting to find Chen Tian's figure.

"Look... the sky..."

Just as everyone was searching for Chen Tian's figure, the child's shout drew everyone's attention to the sky.

Although Ling Yazi had been killed by Chen Tian, the dark cloud that enveloped the sky above Cai Lan Village was still very thick, making the surroundings dark.

But at this moment, in the center of this dark cloud, a hole of light suddenly broke open.

As if it had been torn open by someone, a beam of bright light shone down through the thick dark clouds.

Then, the hole of light gradually expanded, and more and more sunlight shone down.

The darkness that enveloped Cai Lan Village was gradually dispelled, and the sunlight that had been missing for five years once again shone on every corner of this peaceful village.

The crowd was suddenly exposed to this sunlight and felt a burst of glare, so they covered their eyes with their palms.

When they had readjusted to the warmth of the sunlight, they slowly lowered their arms, looked at the blue sky, white clouds, and the dazzling sun, and shed tears of excitement.

At this time, things like round beads fell from the sky, as if it were raining sunshine.

The crowd scattered in all directions, wanting to find a place to hide from the rain.

But just as these 'round beads' approached, they suddenly stopped, because they finally saw clearly that these were not raindrops, but pills emitting a soft glow.

These pills seemed to be psychic, automatically flying into the palms of everyone's hands.

The crowd looked curiously, and then swallowed these pills one after another.

Just as the pills entered their stomachs, a force like pure spring water emanated, nourishing their bodies.

After being enslaved by those vicious demonic cultivators for five years, the bodies of these people had mostly been hollowed out, leaving them with a body full of ailments.

However, under the nourishment of this pill, the hardships and exhaustion of the past five years were swept away, replaced by a never-ending stream of power.

The villagers were stunned by this strange scene, but after regaining their senses, they instantly realized that all of this was probably bestowed upon them by Chen Tian.

Thinking of this, the villagers of Cai Lan Village were moved and knelt down towards the sky.

From then on, Cai Lan Village was renamed 'Immortal Village'. The dilapidated house where Chen Tian had lived and the iron shop he had used were protected layer by layer and regarded as a forbidden area in the village.

Erwa's father led a large group of villagers to carve an entire mountain into a statue, and the face of the statue was none other than Chen Tian's.

This statue also became a sacred place in the hearts of the people. Anyone who disrespected the statue would be judged by the people, punished with one hundred strokes of the cane for minor offenses, and expelled from the village for serious offenses.

Moreover, those villagers who had swallowed the pills all lived to be over a hundred years old. Erwa's father even lived to be one hundred and thirty-nine years old, alarming the emperor at the time, who specially bestowed upon them a plaque with the words 'Immortal Blessed Land'.

Cai Lan Village, from then on, became a world-famous village of longevity!

Thousands of years later, who would have thought that Chen Tian had enlightened himself in this remote village?
