Chen Tianwen suddenly realized.
In other families, a Nascent Soul cultivator is like a pillar of strength, a stabilizing force.
However, in the Shu family, there are people who have reached the Divine Transformation stage in every generation, but it is rare to find an old man who lives to be two hundred years old.
Shu Yiyao continued to explain to Chen Tianwen.
Although the Shu family's bloodline is inherently strong, there are still unexpected events.
For example, their great-uncle had extremely poor aptitude and only reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of one hundred.
The other members of the Shu family all completed the entire process of Qi Refining to Deity Transformation, then the curse descending, and dying unexpectedly at the age of one hundred.
Therefore, this ancestor lived for a full two hundred years, spanning two generations.
He was the most respected member of the Shu family.
Even the clan chief had to bow respectfully to him.
Chen Tianwen nodded; he had certainly learned something new today.
After exchanging pleasantries with the family elders, Shu Yuntian finally managed to free himself up and approach Chen Tianwen, introducing him to the Shu family members: "Let me introduce you all, this is Mr. Chen."
A group of clansmen turned their attention to Chen Tianwen.
"Is this the genius you found who can comprehend the incantation to defy fate and become an immortal?"
“The bone age is very young, and the cultivation level cannot be detected. There must be a secret method to hide the cultivation level.” A middle-aged man carrying a hoe said with a glint in his eyes.
"At such a young age, he's already so secretive. Is this person really reliable?"
"I think it's a mystery. It's not like our ancestor hasn't tried before, but he succeeded the first time."
“That’s right. Even we members of the Shu family can’t comprehend the Reversal of Fate and Ascension to Immortality Spell, let alone those guys outside.”
The Shu family members were talking about it, with all sorts of opinions.
“Mr. Chen, don’t pay attention to them, they’re just… numb.”
Shu Yiyao, fearing that Chen Tianwen might overthink things, quickly comforted him.
Over tens of thousands of years, hope and despair have intertwined time and again, and the Shu family has become numb, having lost all hope in Chen Tianwen.
Chen Tianwen nodded without saying anything.
He understood the situation.
However, he didn't intend to waste time, so he looked directly at Shu Yuntian and asked, "Where is the stone tablet?"
"It's right here, please come with me."
Shu Yuntian didn't dare to hesitate. He led Chen Tianwen through the crowd and into the pavilion.
Inside the pavilion stands a pitch-black stone tablet.
On the stone tablet sat two children, only five or six years old, who were smiling at the three of them.
Both children are at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage; if this were to happen in the outside world, it would be enough to shock the entire region.
"What kind of behavior is this, you two?"
Seeing this, Shu Yuntian was so angry that he glared and waved his hand, driving the two off the stone tablet.
The two children weren't annoyed. They rolled over and jumped steadily off the stone tablet, playing and running away as they went.
"Hehe, Mr. Chen, please don't mind. This is the stone tablet that records the incantation to defy fate and become an immortal." Shu Yuntian grinned awkwardly.
Because the most crucial part was never figured out, the stone tablet gradually fell into disuse and has now even become a playground for the younger generation of the family.
Without speaking, Chen Tianwen began to examine the stone tablet.
The stone tablet is square in shape, and its material is unknown. It has various colored patterns on it.
"What strange patterns." Chen Tianwen frowned as he looked at the patterns.
These patterns, mysterious and intricate, exude a faint, eerie aura that subtly unsettles people.
Immediately, Chen Tianwen released his divine sense and scanned the monument.
In an instant, the world spun around.
When Chen Tianwen opened his eyes again, he found himself in a light red space.
The surrounding area was shrouded in blood mist, and many figures could be vaguely seen wandering around, which was extremely eerie.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Tianwen looked up and found a palm above the blood-red space.
The palm lines are crisscrossed, like mountain ranges and rivers.
These mountains and rivers are made up of different lives: humans, demons, the elderly, children...
In these rivers, they constantly experience birth, aging, sickness, and death, in an endless cycle.
The hand pressed down on his head, as if it were the embodiment of fate, controlling the lives of countless people.
Suddenly, a powerful pressure emanated from the large hand, and Chen Tianwen was firmly bound by this pressure.
Chen Tianwen was unable to move or dodge, and couldn't even leave this space.
For the first time, Chen Tianwen felt a sense of helplessness.
Just like the Shu family, they were helpless in the face of divine curse.
"Defy fate, defy fate... All beings suffer because their fates are predetermined. Only by defying fate can one become an immortal!"
Chen Tianwen looked at his palm and murmured to himself. In that instant, he suddenly had a realization.
In the hands of the great are countless destinies.
Only by transcending the control of fate can one become an immortal!
The moment this thought arose, a mysterious will surged into his dantian, transforming into a blurry mark.
This is the incantation seal for the Reversal of Fate and Ascension to Immortality Spell.
This large hand contains a trace of the power of destiny.
It can burn lifespan to increase cultivation speed.
The subsequent training involved using his consciousness to etch this blurry mark into the shape of the giant hand above his head.
The more realistic the depiction, the stronger the spell seal's effect.
If the complete posture is depicted, the cultivation speed can increase a thousandfold.
However, the lifespan is consumed at the same rate; cultivating immortality for one day consumes a thousand times the lifespan.
Spells are a double-edged sword; they are powerful, but their side effects are even greater.
Therefore, from ancient times to the present, it has fallen into a state of utter desolation.
Chen Tianwen has now obtained the most basic level of the curse seal.
The rest is quite simple.
He used his divine sense to envelop the Great Dao in its simplicity and directly applied it to the blurry incantation seal.
"The Incantation to Defy Fate and Become an Immortal requires ten years to begin, a hundred years to achieve minor success, and a thousand years to achieve major success."
"Simplification complete... Mastery will only take ten days."
...
Outside, the Shu family had completely surrounded the pavilion.
"How long do you think it will take him to comprehend the curse seal?"
"I think it will take at least ten days."
"Ten days? You think too highly of this outsider!"
The Shu family members are inherently proud, and they do not believe that an outsider can comprehend this incantation in less time than they can.
"What's all this noise about!"
The Foundation Establishment Ancestor of the Shu family suddenly roared loudly.
The entire room fell silent.
Several young Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators didn't dare to utter a sound.
In the Shu family, age is everything!
"I trust Yun Tian and Yi Yao's judgment. Since they believe that Mr. Chen can help us understand how to defy fate and become an immortal, then we should give them some trust."
The Foundation Establishment Ancestor spoke slowly, giving Shu Yuntian and Shu Yiyao great confidence.
"That's right, we believe in Senior Chen!"
"I also believe in Mr. Chen."
The two spoke firmly.
