Chapter 2069: The War God’s Path to Immortal Cultivation

The place where the War God was born was a remote village, where life was peaceful and harmonious. At the age of seven, he went out to herd cattle, and the old cow suddenly went mad and ran. He chased it all the way to a cave.

Like all plots where Long Aotian rises to prominence, he obtained Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the cave, along with the method of cultivating on the immortal path.

However, as he followed the booklet’s guidance on cultivation, he still couldn’t channel Qi into the body.

On this day, a large group of cultivators came to the village, claiming they were looking for someone.

In his heart, he knew they were definitely searching for the skeleton in the cave. Those cultivators, upon seeing the skeleton, said it belonged to their martial great-granduncle.

Because he had led the way, they said they felt he was destined with celestial affinity and planned to take him away.

His parents and relatives were naturally reluctant, but the cultivators said that such reluctance would hinder the child’s future, and eventually, his family had to agree.

He also wanted to leave the small village, to explore the outside world, so he excitedly left with the cultivators.

But not long after leaving, those cultivators revealed their true purpose.

They weren’t planning to take him back to the sect; they brought him out to forcefully question him about whether the ancestor left anything behind, demanding he hand it over.

He refused to hand it over, and they threatened him with his family’s safety, claiming they could destroy the whole village in an instant.

He was somewhat afraid but remained clear-headed.

If they could destroy the village, there would be no need to go to such lengths to deceive him out; they could have just forced him in the village, so why make up such lies about his celestial destiny?

He refused to admit there was anything in the cave, enduring their threats without giving in, and eventually, the cultivators seemed unsure themselves.

The cultivators still took him back to the sect, and later he learned that the small village had been set up with a formation. If a massacre was carried out in the village, it would incur deadly retribution, so they tricked him out.

It seems a cultivator must have appeared in the village long ago, but it was so distant in time that no one in the village remembered.

In the sect, he was tested for cultivation talent and found to have the Heavenly Spiritual Root.

He finally understood why the cultivation method he obtained in the cave couldn’t be practiced, because it was a manual for the cultivation of a fire attribute spirit root.

The years of cultivation passed swiftly, and by the time he returned to the small village, his parents were already old and frail, and his brothers had their own lives. He didn’t want to disturb them, leaving wealth for his parents, bidding farewell to the mortal world completely.

He hadn’t expected that those people from back then hadn’t given up, still believing there were treasures in the cave.

In fact, after he stayed in the sect for a long time and understood many things about the cultivation world, he knew that the things found in the cave were worthless.

However, those people seemed to be purposefully looking for something specific.

By then, the cultivation of those cultivators had reached a certain level, fearing no longer the formation in the village, so this time they were unrestrained, directly using spells in the village to trap all the mortals.

They threatened him, saying if he didn’t hand over the item, they would kill one person per day until everyone was dead.

At that time, his cultivation was no match for theirs, and he could only watch helplessly as they killed the villagers.

In the end, even his parents were killed. He remembered when his brother’s daughter was killed, his brother’s wife roared, calling him the Heavenly Fiend Lone Star, a bane to the entire village, questioning why he came back, saying he should have died outside and never returned.

Ultimately, everyone in the village was killed, and the entire village disappeared in a great fire.
