Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The scroll was about thirty feet wide and seventy feet long, bound with a blue silk ribbon.

After glancing at the scroll, a deep look of bewilderment appeared in Chen Tian's eyes.

This scroll was one of the rewards Chen Tian received from Wen Ying when he rescued her.

According to Wen Ying, when she fled from her master, the Xuan Yin Immortal, she took several items from the treasury, including this scroll.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian gently untied the blue ribbon and slowly unrolled the scroll.

When the scroll was fully unfurled, it revealed a blank painting, devoid of any drawings!

In fact, Chen Tian had opened and inspected it once before at the Ling family, and the situation was exactly the same: completely empty.

When Chen Tian first saw this, he was utterly confused and didn't understand why.

But now that Chen Tian had broken through to the凝海 (Ning Hai) realm, he finally noticed a clue when he looked at the scroll again.

Despite its seemingly ordinary appearance, it was all an illusion. Someone had deliberately placed a barrier on it, sealing its true nature.

It was clear that the person who cast the spell was very powerful. Chen Tian estimated that they were at least in the late stage of the Ning Hai realm, or even a筑天 (Zhu Tian) realm cultivator.

Moreover, this person was proficient in array formations and restrictions, and their methods were superb. Only in this way could they deceive everyone's eyes, making them mistakenly believe that the scroll was nothing special.

However, Chen Tian was not in a hurry to open it at that time, but kept delaying it.

Because although he didn't know what was hidden inside the scroll, Chen Tian could guess that once this item was revealed, it would definitely be earth-shattering. Opening it in the outside world might attract the covetousness of others, which would be detrimental to him.

Now that Chen Tian was hiding in this Fallen Immortal Valley, there was no longer this concern.

Chen Tian had just experimented with the Yue Li fruit. Even if the flavors of three Yue Li fruits were combined, they couldn't attract the monsters from the outside world, but only a group of Xuan Mo Corpse Worms.

It should be known that the taste of the Yue Li fruit has an unimaginable attraction to those monsters. No matter how far away, as long as they smell the Yue Li fruit, they will try their best to come.

But now, Chen Tian couldn't attract any outside monsters even with the combined scent of three Yue Li fruits, which means that this Fallen Immortal Valley is not connected to the outside world. Even if Chen Tian made a huge commotion here, the outside world wouldn't notice.

This was the reason why Chen Tian chose the Fallen Immortal Valley.

At this moment, Chen Tian was extremely curious. He really wanted to know what secrets were hidden behind this scroll.

So Chen Tian didn't delay any longer. With a wave of his hand, the scroll floated into the air.

Then Chen Tian closed his eyes slightly, released his spiritual consciousness into the scroll, and began to explore.

As expected, when Chen Tian's spiritual consciousness just entered the scroll, it encountered a powerful resistance.

Looking further ahead, there were layers upon layers, densely packed, countless interlocking restrictions.

These were the seals laid down by the original owner of the scroll.

However, Chen Tian knew that this person had been dead for many years. Otherwise, the restrictions in the scroll wouldn't appear dim and lifeless.

Even so, these restrictions were still terrifying.

Chen Tian discovered that there were no less than hundreds of thousands of restrictions added to the scroll, and each restriction was interconnected.

If one was solved incorrectly, or if one of the restrictions was accidentally triggered, then the other restrictions would explode together.

At that time, not only would the things inside the scroll disappear, but even Chen Tian might lose his life in the powerful backlash.

This was something that had to be guarded against.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have a headache and shy away from seeing so many strange and mysterious restrictions.

But Chen Tian was different. Not only did he not have any fear, but he also had a hint of eagerness.

From the moment he embarked on the path of cultivation, Chen Tian would never fear any challenges or difficulties.

At this time, Chen Tian took a deep breath and submerged all his spiritual consciousness into the scroll, beginning to unravel it.

Although these restrictions were cleverly arranged and complex in structure, Chen Tian was a direct disciple of the generation's formation master, Feng Qingzi. Compared to this genius who was rare to see in millions of years, these restrictions were not difficult for Chen Tian.

And all Chen Tian needed was time.

At this moment, Chen Tian had wholeheartedly devoted himself to breaking the restrictions, entering a state of selflessness.

And this closing of his eyes lasted for seven days.

Seven days later, Chen Tian slowly opened his eyes again, but a smile could not help but appear in his eyes.

In these seven days, Chen Tian had broken thousands of restrictions. Although he had not completely removed all the seals, he was able to uncover the tip of the iceberg of this strange scroll.

If time allowed, Chen Tian would naturally want to continue breaking the restrictions.

However, there were really too many restrictions inside, as many as hundreds of thousands. Chen Tian would need to work non-stop for decades or even centuries to completely unravel them.

Such a long time was obviously not something Chen Tian could afford to spend now. Therefore, he only dabbled in it, just breaking open a corner of the scroll to explore the clues first, and then slowly study it later.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian took a deep breath, and then he stretched out his right index finger and pointed it at the blank painting.

A strange scene occurred.

At the point of Chen Tian's finger, the originally blank painting rippled like water, and then the originally snow-white picture gradually turned black, eventually forming a dark starry sky.

And in the depths of this starry sky, a huge golden character slowly emerged.

It was the character '杀' (sha) - 'Kill'!
