Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 280 "Outside"

Lin Jiang crawled out of the coffin in a rather disheveled state.

The sudden accident had left him soaked to the bone. Lin Jiang looked around the sea but couldn't see any place to land nearby, so he gave up exploring and simply used the coffin to return.

He used his summer energy to dry his clothes, then sat by the coffin for a moment, pondering his recent experience.

Based on the experiment just now, returning to one's hometown does not only refer to one's hometown in a broad sense. It can also refer to places like the capital city where he has lived for a long time. As long as he concentrates his consciousness on these places, he can go there.

As for places that leave an impression but are only visited briefly, they cannot be visited.

Choosing the wrong location could result in being randomly teleported to an unknown place.

very dangerous.

In general, returning to one's hometown cannot replace a coffin, but if Lin Jiang has memorized a certain place, this elixir is much more convenient than a coffin.

After learning about these characteristics, Lin Jiang felt at ease.

When Gongxuan sets off, prepare a medicine gourd for him. If he encounters danger, he only needs to swallow one gourd to return directly to a safe place.

That's a good thing, too.

As Lin Jiang's thoughts calmed down, a sudden thought twitched in his mind, and a thought abruptly rushed down his spine.

If he were to yearn for his lost homeland, where would he go?

Lin Jiangxin felt a chill run down his spine.

Going home, going home.

The core function of this elixir is to help people return to their long-lost hometown.

Is it possible for him to return to his hometown?

In terms of the depth of his memory, Lin Jiang could even clearly outline every inch of the street where he used to live, perfectly meeting the conditions for returning to his hometown.

The thought had barely crossed Lin Jiang's mind when he could no longer suppress it.

The technique of returning home relies on the primordial fog. His hometown is also shrouded in a misty fog that connects all things in heaven and earth.
...Give it a try!
He swallowed the pill directly into his mouth.

The image of that not-so-bustling street suddenly flashed into Lin Jiang's mind.

A thin mist quietly spread around him, gradually enveloping him.

The next instant, a strange feeling of pressure spread throughout my body, and the wind howled and buzzed incessantly in my ears.

Before he could discern the sound of the wind, a violent wave of air suddenly swept over him, whipping his sleeves and hair.

Lin Jiang suddenly opened his eyes.

A vast and boundless colorful ocean unfolds before your eyes.

In the distance, huge waves surged, and countless enormous objects, some spherical and some cubic, floated silently among them, but Lin Jiang seemed to hear a roar.

He lowered his head and looked down.

Far, far away, a huge coffin is being carried further and further away by the waves.

Lin Jiang's mind was blank, and even the Qi in his body was somewhat chaotic.

He could sense that the little golden figures erupted into chaos in that instant, some running frantically, some colliding with each other, and others collapsing to the ground and rolling around.

Even Liu Fangyue and the ghosts around him looked around through Lin Jiang's eyes. Even Liu Fangyue, who was the most knowledgeable among them, had never witnessed such a scene before, and his spirit was so nervous that it kept flickering.

After a brief moment of panic, Lin Jiang quickly regained his composure. He tried to stretch his body and found nothing unusual.

The surroundings are boundless, as if you were in a vast ocean.

He gazed at the coffin in the distance, focused his senses, and realized that he could still maintain a connection with it. Only then did his panic slowly subside.

Perhaps because his hometown was too far away, after swallowing the Homecoming Pill, while he was immersed in the fantasy of his former home, Lin Jiang failed to return to his hometown and was instead sent directly to the outer space.

He was outside the coffin and couldn't breathe, but thanks to his special physical constitution, he didn't feel any discomfort.

Similarly, this space is slightly different from the "space" in Lin Jiang's memory.

At least in his understanding, celestial bodies could not possibly be moved by invisible waves in the distance.

but,
It's not my hometown after all.

He gazed into the distance at the spheres churning with the "giant waves," one of which was a blazing fireball, radiating heat onto him.

Even he felt a surge of heat at that moment.

Yet it feels like a distant memory, basking in the summer sun.

Lin Jiang closed his eyes.

Ultimately, we will never see that bustling traffic again.

Letting his body drift along in this sea of ​​stars, Lin Jiang opened his eyes after a while.

He composed himself and stared again at the coffin in front of him.

The view from here far surpasses what can be seen inside the palace; the world inside the coffin appears unusually hazy, making it difficult to discern specific details.

The sun and moon are two smaller celestial bodies that slowly revolve around the coffin.

Lin Jiang was too far away to see clearly, but perhaps because he was in the outside world and could see it with his own eyes without the aid of external objects, he could still see the surging Qi contained in the two companion stars.

This is not a physical entity, but a technique performed by someone.

Similarly, Lin Jiang could also clearly see that in addition to the sun and moon surrounding the coffin, there was a special object floating in mid-air.

It was a magnificent palace.

The palace's exterior was strikingly similar to the exterior of Lin Jiang's palace, practically identical, and moved at an absolutely parallel speed to the coffin.

Like a satellite resembling this coffin.

Lin Jiang really wanted to go and find out what was going on, but the distance was too far. He tried his best to make a swimming motion, but he couldn't move an inch.

With current methods, it's definitely impossible to reach that point; the only hope is to find a passage through the thick fog later.

Feeling he had seen enough, Lin Jiang also thought it was time to go back.

At that moment, Lin Jiang suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

He felt like something was wrong.

Driven by a sense of unease, Lin Jiang looked at the coffin in the distance again. Upon closer inspection, the coffin itself appeared to be without any problems.

but……

The enormous coffin is drifting along a colorful "river," and something seems to be hidden behind the river.

It was as if there was nothing at all.

The river carrying the coffins was itself colorful. Lin Jiang couldn't describe the specific hues, but he felt it was like a rainbow being crushed, blended, and then poured onto a deep blue curtain, its colors bright and delightful.

However, there is a distinct void in the river behind the coffin.

The entire cavity divides the river in two along the middle, like a huge reef in the middle of the river. The rushing river water cannot break through it, so it is cut by external forces.

This reef was completely transparent; when Lin Jiang stared into it, he could only see nothingness.

The coffin drifted along the river, with the hollow following closely behind, the two seemingly maintaining a constant distance, unable to get close to each other.

However, looking at the direction of the drift, Lin Jiang felt that the coffin was deliberately avoiding the hollow.

After staring at the empty space for a moment, Lin Jiang felt a sudden surge of panic.

He didn't understand why, but he felt a strange sense of oppression creeping in from that direction.

He blinked.

He suddenly felt a familiar touch.

This touched upon something he had deeply experienced in his inner palace and had also clearly felt beside Feng'ao Mountain.

When looking down at the map, the little golden figure marks the scarlet points.

The suffering that the people of Daxing call a calamity exists.

These calamities, enough to plunge Daxing into utter ruin, are surging forth from the enormous void, rushing toward the coffin.

……

Lin Jiang suddenly opened his eyes.

He pushed open the granite coffin lid and rolled out.

Lin Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that he was in a tomb near Qingniwa.

They've finally come back.

The teleportation distance of the coffin was indeed astonishing.

My body is fine, but my clothes are in terrible condition.

The entire outer garment had hardened completely, and the slightest touch would cause it to shatter like broken glass, with fragments falling back to the bottom of the coffin.

His face darkened slightly.

How am I going to get back? My clothes are all torn to shreds, so I'll have to walk around half-naked.

After a moment's thought, Lin Jiang simply lay back down in the coffin.

With his knuckles pressing heavily on his temples, being unclothed became a trivial matter.

A sharp question suddenly popped into my mind.

What is that thing?
The cavity following the coffin continuously pours out a torrent of calamity, rushing all the way into the coffin.

Lin Jiang finally understood why there were so many dense red dots floating in the deep sea.

So it turns out that it was all spread by that damned thing.

No, my understanding of the red dot is still too limited; I need to get to the Oscar statuette and ask him for clarification.

With a thought, he closed his eyes and entered the state of inner vision in a short while.

The palace was in complete chaos. The little golden figures were terrified and crawled all over the place; the ghosts stood there dumbfounded and at a loss; Liu Fangyue had somehow pulled a rope and was hanging herself from a beam, swinging back and forth like a swing.

Enraged, Lin Jiang reached out and pulled Liu Fangyue down.

Lin Jiang told her to lie still on the ground next to him and then quickly called over the little golden figures who were playing and rolling around there.

The little golden figures finally gathered in front of him, and Lin Jiang scrutinized them with the solemnity of a military parade.

"You all saw what just happened?"

nod.

Do you know what kind of place that is?

nod.

“There’s a palace outside, exactly the same as the current Inner Palace. Did our palace map come from there?”

nod.

"Were you trying to deal with red dots and voids before?"

nod.

"I'm currently in Qingniwa. The words 'test subject' are carved on one side of the coffin. Does this place have anything to do with you?"

nod.

Lin Jiang was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"Is the world a coffin? Was there once a powerful immortal who died inside, and then this world came into being?"

At this point, the young men with golden medals visibly looked at each other in bewilderment.

They all seemed uncertain, except for the one in the lead, who hesitated slightly and nodded gently.

"The very edge of the coffin is called the End of the Earth. From Daxing's perspective, it's a towering red wall that stretches to the sky. The wall has been hollowed out, and inside there's a palace, just like the one I see inside. Did you build that one too?"

nod.

"You... are you from before or after the immortal bestowed the elixir? If it was before, stand to my left; if it was after, stand to my right."

Lin Jiang raised his hands high.

The little golden statuettes all stood to his left.

They came from before the first immortal ate the elixir.
