Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"What? Say that again?!" Chen Tian was instantly shocked, thinking he had misheard. He turned his head to stare intently at Han Wuming, asking the question.

Although Chen Tian was young, he possessed an incredibly sharp aura, causing Han Wuming's heart to involuntarily tighten.

Han Wuming didn't dare to act presumptuously and hurriedly replied respectfully, "Master, this old servant means that I have a way to bring your brother back to life!"

Chen Tian finally understood clearly. After a moment of astonishment, his face instantly lit up with wild joy. He stood up, grabbed Han Wuming's arm, and hastily pressed, "Tell me quickly, what method is it?"

Han Wuming could feel the urgency in Chen Tian's heart, so he didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, "Master, you may not know, but everything the Ghost Dao Sect cultivates is related to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and the human soul and body. Among these, there are also some methods that can revive a person who has just died. This old servant happens to have a method that can be tried, but..."

Han Wuming paused at this point, then secretly raised his head to size up Chen Tian, seeming hesitant.

Chen Tian saw this and immediately became anxious. He scolded, "Say whatever you have to say, don't be so hesitant! Even if you say something wrong, I won't blame you!"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Han Wuming then continued, "Although my method can bring your brother back to life, Master, the conditions involved are too harsh. I'm afraid you won't agree!"

"Hmm? How harsh is it? You might as well say it first and let me hear it." Seeing Han Wuming's cautious appearance, Chen Tian couldn't help but frown.

Han Wuming's face was full of ingratiating smiles as he rubbed his hands and said to Chen Tian with a smile, "It's like this, Master. My method is called the Soul Severing Life Extension Art. If you want to use this technique, there are three conditions. First, you must ensure that the person being cast upon has a complete body, without any serious damage. Your brother meets this condition, as he only has a sword hole in his body, which doesn't hinder the spell."

After hearing this, Chen Tian looked at Xiao Long again, nodded, and asked, "What about the other two?"

"This..." Han Wuming pondered for a moment, then said, "The cultivation level of the caster must reach the凝海 (Ning Hai) Sea凝 Realm!"

"What? The凝海 (Ning Hai) Sea凝 Realm?" Chen Tian was shocked upon hearing this, and said with some horror, "It's already difficult beyond measure to cultivate to the化泉 (Hua Quan) Spring Transformation Realm, and old monsters in the凝海 (Ning Hai) Sea凝 Realm are even rarer in this world. How could one break through so easily?"

"This... Master, although I know that this condition is indeed too harsh, there is nothing that can be done about it. This is because this Soul Severing Life Extension Art was invented by our Ghost Dao Sect's founding ancestor. He was a凝海 (Ning Hai) Sea凝 Realm expert, and he only used it once in his life," Han Wuming said with some difficulty.

After hearing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but ponder for a while. After a long time, a solemn look shot out from his eyes, and he said coldly, "Alright, for Xiao Long, I will try my best. Tell me about the last requirement."

Han Wuming hurriedly nodded and said, "This last requirement is the most difficult, because according to the Soul Severing Life Extension Art, the caster needs to exchange ten years of their lifespan for one year of the deceased's life, and the maximum life extension for the deceased cannot exceed fifty years!"

"A life ratio of ten to one?" Chen Tian nodded slightly upon hearing this, took a long breath, and smiled, "I thought it was some harsh condition, but it turns out it's just this? That's great."

"What? Did I hear wrong?" This time, it was Han Wuming's turn to be astonished. He said with some disbelief, "Master, do you really understand? You have to waste ten years of your life to exchange for one year of your brother's life, and if you want to exchange for ten years of his life, then you have to pay a hundred years of your life. Even if your cultivation reaches the凝海 (Ning Hai) Sea凝 Realm by then, the price of this hundred years of life is still too great, right?"

"It's nothing." After hearing Han Wuming's concerns, Chen Tian said with a light smile, "Xiao Long died for me. Now that there is a way to save him, what do a few years of life matter?"

As he said this, Chen Tian couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Long, and a gentle look emerged in his eyes.

Han Wuming on the side was completely surprised and speechless.

It should be known that the path of cultivating immortality is originally a path against the heavens.

But this Chen Tian actually regards this matter as the simplest condition, completely disregarding the interests involved. It is indeed somewhat beyond Han Wuming's expectations.

Although there is no reason, Han Wuming vaguely feels that Chen Tian is very different from other cultivators.

But he couldn't say exactly where the difference was.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Han Wuming seemed to have thought of something again, and suddenly patted a black bag on his waist. Instantly, a burst of black light floated out from the mouth of the bag.

After the black light landed and receded, a crystal coffin made of ice jade actually appeared from within.

This crystal coffin was crystal clear, and wisps of cold air emanated from it, immediately lowering the surrounding temperature.

"What is this?" Chen Tian also saw the crystal coffin and asked in confusion.

"桀桀 (Jie Jie), Master, you may not know, but this coffin is called the Cold Jade Crystal Coffin. It is made of ten-thousand-year-old ice jade from extremely cold places. As long as you put your brother's remains inside, it can ensure that he will never decay!" Han Wuming said with a smug smile.

Chen Tian nodded, then picked up Xiao Long and gently placed him inside the Cold Jade Crystal Coffin. Instantly, cold air billowed, protecting Xiao Long's body.

Seeing this scene, a trace of a smile finally appeared on Chen Tian's face again.

Just at this moment, Han Wuming picked up the Imperial Dragon Slaying Sword from the ground in the distance and also put it into the Cold Jade Crystal Coffin.

Chen Tian was puzzled by this and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Master, this sword is not an ordinary item. It has the function of devouring soul bodies. Your brother died under this sword just now, so it cannot be ruled out that a part of his soul was absorbed by this sword. Now I will put this sword down together, so that it will be useful when you use the Soul Severing Life Extension Art in the future," Han Wuming explained.

Hearing his words, Chen Tian nodded, then stopped stopping him and let him put the Imperial Dragon Slaying Sword next to Xiao Long's body.

However, what Chen Tian didn't notice was that at this time, a strange smile couldn't help but flash across Han Wuming's face.

Of course, this strange smile disappeared quickly. When he raised his head again, he became amiable again.
