Chen Tian also waited for Yun Long to arrive while cultivating. Yun Long arrived at Chen Tian's residence at night, and then there was a knock on the door. Chen Tian said, "Come in!"
Yun Long's figure also appeared before Chen Tian. Chen Tian looked at the young man in front of him, his temperament seeming to be gradually changing. Chen Tian said, "Have you made up your mind?"
"I've made up my mind, big brother. I want to cultivate, I want to leave the village, I want to save the weak and innocent. Even if this path is difficult, I will persevere to the end."
Yun Long said with conviction. Chen Tian nodded in relief and then said, "Good, but you still have a trace of resentment in your heart. It should be related to Mie Yun Village, right?"
"Yes, big brother."
Then Yun Long told Chen Tian about the entanglement between the two villages. After listening, Chen Tian said, "I will not help you destroy Mie Yun Village. You have to do it yourself. I will teach you martial arts and cultivation methods to help you step into cultivation. You decide when to seek revenge."
Yun Long also nodded. Chen Tian extended a finger and tapped it on Yun Long's forehead. Chen Tian did not intend to cultivate the young man in front of him into a god. He was still too immature. Chen Tian wanted to wait until he had grown a bit more.
Then, streams of memories entered Yun Long's mind, along with cultivation methods and martial arts.
Afterwards, Chen Tian withdrew his finger, and Yun Long instantly opened his eyes. He then knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, master."
Chen Tian said, "Leave! You are not my disciple yet. You have not earned my recognition. Go cultivate!"
Yun Long nodded and then walked towards the door. Chen Tian looked at Yun Long and said, "I hope that after this experience, you will still retain this pure and flawless heart, and not let revenge blind your eyes."
Chen Tian's figure flickered and instantly disappeared from the room. Then, Chen Tian's figure stepped into the void and secretly observed Yun Long's every move.
He believed that Yun Long would not fail to seek revenge, he just wanted to see how much Yun Long could grow. At Yun Long's residence, Chen Tian watched Yun Long cultivate. Spiritual energy constantly entered Yun Long's body, and faint glows appeared on Yun Long's body. At the same time, countless lights replaced the blood in his veins. Within his transparent heart, lines began to twist and cover it, and then a line directly snapped.
Fearsome spiritual energy entered Yun Long's body, and instantly Yun Long's body erupted with a terrifying aura, continuously climbing. Chen Tian sighed, "As expected of one of the divine bodies! He already has the strength of the Spiritual Meridian realm just after unsealing. However, it will be much slower later on!"
Yun Long's transformation was not just that. Above Yun Long's head, a spear formed of spiritual energy entered Yun Long's forehead. Yun Long sat cross-legged, maintaining his will to accept this memory. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "The cultivation method bestowed by master is truly powerful. I have already broken through the Spiritual Meridian realm just by cultivating, and this power is so immense!"
"Grandfather, don't worry! I will definitely avenge you."
Then Yun Long sat down to meditate again. Chen Tian nodded in his heart, seeing Yun Long meditating to stabilize his realm, not rushing to Mie Yun Village for revenge. It seemed he had not let revenge blind his eyes or his reason.
Power often leads one deeper into obsession, especially when filled with intense resentment. With power, one is influenced by negative emotions like resentment and commits irreversible acts. But Yun Long did not. Chen Tian nodded with satisfaction.
Then, his figure disappeared. Chen Tian planned to observe Yun Long here for a few more days. After all, Yun Long was also a disciple of the Divine Spirit Sect, a disciple personally chosen by Chen Tian.
The reason was simple: Yun Long's body was not an ordinary physique, but a divine body, on par with Chen Tian's Supreme Spiritual Body. Chen Tian never imagined he would encounter such a divine body in a small mountain village.
The Flawless Spiritual Body. As long as one's heart remains clear, their strength and realm can increase infinitely without any bottlenecks. In short, it is the power of the mind.
It is very important for a person to maintain their original heart, but it is equally important to be driven by the mind. On the path of the original heart, you will determine how far you can go in the future, while the power of the mind can make you more firm in your will and thoughts on this path, thus preventing you from going astray.
There are thousands of paths, and each path represents a different ending. Which path to choose depends on your own decision.
Yun Long also opened his eyes slowly after a night of training. Looking at his body, he threw a punch, and instantly, a series of sonic booms echoed. Yun Long was happy because he was already an immortal cultivator. It was great, and his realm had stabilized.
Then Yun Long came to the small courtyard. Chen Tian was already waiting there, watching Yun Long's movements.
Yun Long came into the small courtyard, clenched his hands, and then threw punches repeatedly. Different movements and combinations flowed like water. Then, with a spin of his foot, his figure instantly appeared on the other side.
Chen Tian, watching from the void, said, "Not bad. The martial arts have also reached the minor accomplishment stage. This divine body is simply terrifying. As long as the heart is pure and flawless, the strength and potential of anything will grow infinitely."
However, if one cannot protect their original heart and loses their pure and flawless spirit, their strength will continuously weaken, and eventually, even their life will be reduced. This is also why this divine body is rarely discovered.
Because the world is changing, eras are changing, and materials are changing. It is difficult to maintain one's original heart. But Chen Tian still insists on his original heart. Even if this path is difficult, he will walk it. He just doesn't know if Yun Long can walk it.
Environmental influences and the changing times can easily alter a person's original heart, leading them down a crooked path. Especially for a physique like this, it requires even more caution. A single event or scene can easily cause an impact, leading to death.
Chen Tian also emerged from the void and walked into the small courtyard. Chen Tian said, "Alright, Yun Long. Your martial arts and cultivation methods have reached the minor accomplishment stage. You can go for revenge now. This revenge will be a test for you. If you pass, you will be my disciple. If you fail, I am afraid we will have no connection."
"Yes, Chen Tian."
Yun Long was very happy and then left Yun Tian Village with Chen Tian. At this time, the small mountain village was protected by Chen Tian using a formation and barrier. Even cultivators possessed by evil spirits could not break through it unless they were three major realms higher than Chen Tian.
Only villagers born and raised there could enter and leave the barrier. Outsiders were unable to enter. Then, Chen Tian and Yun Long left amidst the villagers' farewells. They headed towards the mountain range in front of them. Behind that mountain range was the territory of Mie Yun Village.
Chen Tian had learned from Yun Long that Mie Yun Village was different from Yun Tian Village. The villagers of Mie Yun Village were all cultivators, and with their tyrannical nature, they had annexed almost all the surrounding villages. Yun Tian Village was merely separated from Mie Yun Village by a mountain range, so Mie Yun Village considered it the last village to deal with.
Yun Tian Village had been in opposition to Mie Yun Village since ancient times, and the two villages had fought for countless years. Now it was Yun Long's generation. Initially, Yun Fei Village could still contend with Mie Yun Village, but later, the villagers of Mie Yun Village mysteriously increased in strength. The traps and methods that could have caused damage were all useless. This led to what happened a few nights ago, when the villagers of Mie Yun Village attacked Yun Tian Village, resulting in many deaths and injuries among the villagers of Yun Tian Village.
Soon, Chen Tian and Yun Long traversed the mountain range and arrived on the other side. At this moment, Yun Long exclaimed in shock, "Impossible, how has Mie Yun Village become like this?"
He could hardly believe it because the Mie Yun Village before him was completely different from the mountain village. It looked more like a city.
Behind the mountain range was a city. Was it this difficult? He clearly remembered that this was Mie Yun Village.
Chen Tian looked at the city in front of him, and a familiar aura appeared. Chen Tian's expression became serious, and he said, "Yun Long, your revenge this time might be very difficult. Do you want to give up?"
Yun Long's expression was firm as he said, "Give up? I don't know what giving up means. I must avenge the villagers and my grandfather. Only then will the feelings in my heart subside."
Chen Tian nodded, approving of Yun Long in his heart. Then Chen Tian said, "Then let's kill our way in! The low-level cultivators are for you to practice on, and I will deal with those big guys behind them."
"Okay, Chen Tian!"
"You're still calling me Chen Tian?"
"Master!"
Chen Tian nodded, then took a step forward, and instantly he and Yun Long appeared outside the city gate. Yun Long looked at the city gate. The original mountain village had become like this, but it did not diminish his desire for revenge.
Then, he looked at the city gate and the plaque above it. He unleashed two punches, and with a loud roar, the entire city gate exploded.
Chen Tian watched quietly from the side, then Yun Long's figure stepped into the city. The moment he stepped into the city, Yun Long was shocked by the scene before him.
Because the ground of the city was covered with corpses, and the people moving in the city were covered in black liquid, appearing like zombies with black claws and vacant eyes, with curved thorns growing from their backs.
Yun Long asked, "Master, this... this is...!"
Chen Tian said, "As you can see, this is the world of cultivation. The weak die, and the strong survive. If you don't want to die, you can only kill them."
Chen Tian looked at the people in front of him. They had already been assimilated by the evil spirits, but it was a mindless assimilation. They only knew how to kill and conquer the world. Chen Tian and Yun Long's aura attracted countless evil spirit people.
Humans assimilated by evil spirits are called evil spirit people. Chen Tian's eyes turned towards the center of the city, and he said to Yun Long, "Yun Long, these guys are yours to handle. Remember not to get hit, or you will become like them."
"Yes, master!"
Chen Tian nodded and then said, "These are all villagers from Mie Yun Village. You can kill them as you please, it's good for your revenge. As for those who have died, they should be from other villages."
At this point, Chen Tian understood why the villagers of Mie Yun Village could cultivate so quickly and their purpose of annexing surrounding villages.
All of this was just a scheme by the evil spirits from behind, and Mie Yun Village was clearly being used as a puppet. Chen Tian's figure disappeared from Yun Long's side.
Yun Long looked at the densely packed villagers in front of him, his eyes flashing with killing intent. He wanted to avenge the villagers and his grandfather. He didn't care what they had become.
Because these people were not worthy of pity. They had lost their human hearts.
Yun Long stepped forward and instantly rushed into the crowd.
Meanwhile, Chen Tian's figure appeared in front of a city lord's mansion. Looking at the mansion, his divine pupils directly opened, and instantly, a black light barrier appeared before Chen Tian around the mansion.
Chen Tian said, "Still in recovery, the sealing power has not been completely depleted yet, there is still a chance."
