Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 360 Waterfall City

Lin Jiang had not seen a new coffin for a long time and thought he would only see one after leaving Daxing, but he never expected to find one here.

Squinting to look closely, he realized that the stone chamber where the coffin was located looked as if it had been forcibly carved out of the mountain rocks, with obvious traces of human chiseling everywhere.

What's even stranger is that behind the stone cave is a large, dark space with straight and regular walls, just like the stone cave in Qingniwa.

Lin Jiang gazed silently into the depths for a moment.

He wanted to go and take a look; there must be something in that cave.

So he once again descended into his inner palace and asked the group of little golden figures within his abdomen:
"Is there any danger in the shallow part of that pit?" Lin Jiang pressed.

Stepping on clouds is a method of rock climbing and mountaineering; exploring shallow layers should be no problem.

The most important thing is whether there are any restraining properties at the edge of the cave. If you accidentally step on it, you may fall straight to the bottom of the cave.

The little golden figures pondered silently upon hearing this, and finally the leader slowly shook his head.

Immediately afterwards, it drew a horizontal line above the abstract shape it had just drawn, pointing to the top and bottom respectively.

Lin Jiang glanced at it and recognized it as a marker that divided the cave into thirds of its depth.

"The upper part is safe, but the lower part is dangerous?"

The little golden statue nodded.

Hearing this, Lin Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the scale of the small golden statue, it would probably take a long time just to descend to one-third the depth of the cave, or even just rely on free fall.

The cave is located on the surface just below the waterfall, so there shouldn't be any surprises.

After asking the question, Lin Jiang left the inner palace. He pointed to the gap under the waterfall beside him and said:

There's a hole there.

The others also turned their gazes to the waterfall, where a square-shaped opening was visible behind it.

"Shall we go and take a look?"

"Naturally."

Everyone used their own methods, while Lin Jiang focused his attention on Jiang Jinyue.

Of all those present, Jiang Jinyue's cultivation was the most shallow.

Lin Jiang hesitated for a moment, then took out a Myriad Manifestations Pill from his pocket and handed it over:

"After you eat it, you will transform into a water bird. You can fly on your own, or I can carry you with me."

"surmise……"

Jiang Jinyue conjured up the word in her mind, and the small ginseng in Lin Jiang's sleeve suddenly perked up and poked its head out.

"Come quick! Come quick! This place is amazing! It's so much fun!"

Seeing the ginseng's enthusiastic invitation, Jiang Jinyue no longer hesitated and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

Suddenly, her body swayed, and in the blink of an eye, she transformed into a round halo of light, her feathers blooming in the radiance. In an instant, Jiang Jinyue had become a bird with beautiful plumage.

The bird fluttered and circled once before diving into Lin Jiang's sleeve. Lin Jiang could only hear the cheerful laughter of Xiao Shanshen coming from deep inside his sleeve.

One, two, and three, who witnessed the whole thing from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh:

"I'm jealous."

Lin Jiang returned a polite smile.

The reason he felt comfortable letting Jiang Jinyue act this way was because she was naturally indifferent to worldly affairs and had no ulterior motives; if he had given the pills to Yi Er San, Lin Jiang could not have predicted where she would wander off to.

He has a lot of principles.

If you really want to get to know someone, you need to cultivate a relationship first.

Once ready, the group each used their skills to leap towards the bottom of the distant waterfall.

Lin Jiang was the most dashing. He stepped out of the clouds, stood with his hands behind his back, and rode the clouds straight towards the waterfall.

One, two, three—light a red candle, and your body transforms into wisps of smoke, drifting in the wind, flying closely behind Lin Jiang.

The King of Qi pulled out a small boat from somewhere, and after he got on, the boat floated in the air above the group of people.

Finally, it was Yu Wenyun's turn. He took two steps back, then took a running start and leaped forward.

He was incredibly fast; although he jumped last, he was the first to land on the opposite mountainside.

Unfortunately, the position was a bit off, and Yu Wenyun crashed heavily into the wall.

He watched helplessly as Yu Wenyun left a lifelike human-shaped mark, but immediately broke free with great force, then swung his arm and slid down the wall into the cave.

And so, they all arrived at their destination.

Lin Jiang flicked his sleeve, and the bird and the ginseng fell to the ground.

Just before they touched the ground, the two little creatures gradually swelled up, with a faint mist swirling around them.

In the blink of an eye, both of them transformed into human form.

Jiang Jinyue floated to the ground, steadied herself, and stood still again.

The little girl that the ginseng had transformed into actually fell hard on her bottom. She got up, rubbed her sore bottom, and a happy smile spread across her face as she curiously looked around.

Compared to other things, what Xiaoshan Shen loves most is following Lin Jiang to explore these seemingly strange and unusual places.

A glance across the cave walls revealed smooth, clean surfaces that stretched deep into the cave. The walls were covered with luminous moss, making the cave as bright as day.

Lin Jiang was the first to approach the stone coffin and placed his hand on it. As his Qi flowed into the coffin, that familiar feeling of spiritual connection surged forth from the depths of his heart once more.

After confirming that the stone coffin could be used as a teleportation medium, Lin Jiang exerted a little force with his knuckles and broke off a piece from it.

He weighed it in his palm and carefully put it into his pocket. Then he turned his head and looked into the deep, dark cave.

He led the way at the front, with the others following closely behind.

The deeper Lin Jiang went, the more he noticed that the glowing moss on the wall was arranged in a certain pattern, with identical intervals between them.

Although some moss has spread across the walls, it is still faintly visible that its base once seemed to have been planted in some kind of flowerpot.

It seems that these mosses were deliberately cultivated here, solely for use as a light source.

After walking for a while, the group reached the end of the passage. Stepping inside, the surrounding darkness instantly dissipated, revealing a bright and open view.

Above, countless glowing mosses covered the sky, and rushing water surged in along the stone walls on both sides, filling the bottom of the entire space.

Beneath the nearly crystal-clear water, Lin Jiang saw numerous houses.

It includes houses and fields that appear to be for people to live in, as well as a mix of buildings with very different styles.

In the middle of the river stands a huge mansion, half of which is submerged. It is as tall as a tower and has stood there for who knows how long.

The group exchanged glances, and Lin Jiang immediately said:
"Separately check the area, and be careful."

Yu Wenyun turned to the east alone, while Yi Er San led Jiang Jinyue to the west.

Xiao Shan Shen looked towards Jiang Jin Yue, then glanced at Lin Jiang. Just as he was hesitating, Jiang Jin Yue smiled and said:
"Go with him."

Little Ginseng nodded vigorously, ran to Lin Jiang's side, and clung to him like an octopus.

Lin Jiang chuckled to himself:

“I’m not going anywhere, you don’t need to drag me along like this.”

"You've lied to me so many times before, I don't believe you!"

Little Ginseng rubbed affectionately against Lin Jiang, a bright smile spreading across its face.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Lin Jiang's face.

However, Lin Jiang noticed that the little girl's human form seemed to be a little larger than before.

Could it be that the little girl has matured a bit more than before?

As a result, the form she transformed into was also larger than before.

Putting aside their thoughts for the moment, Lin Jiang and King Qi both looked toward the tall tower in the middle.

King Qi placed the small boat he had just been riding on onto the shimmering water, and Lin Jiang unceremoniously stepped onto it.

"You don't stand on ceremony with me at all."

"It's hard to say whether this is related to ascending to the Immortal Mountain or becoming an immortal. Anyway, we'll both have to go to Lan Ke to find the Immortal Mountain later, so there's no need to be overly polite now."

Lin Jiang nodded calmly.

King Qi opened his mouth, but the words stuck in his throat.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded:
"alright."

The two sailed leisurely, cutting through the waves, heading straight for the distant tower.

The water was not calm; waves surged from time to time. Yet, within three feet of where the King of Qi's ship passed, the water was calm and undisturbed. Moments later, the ship arrived at the foot of the tower that was half-submerged in the water.

Upon entering the tower, Lin Jiang looked around and discovered that the entire tower was a seamless whole, and its architectural techniques were clearly far superior to those of Daxing.

The King of Qi clicked his tongue, as if in astonishment:
"Indeed, this place must be the work of a celestial being."

"Celestial beings?" Before Lin Jiang could speak, Little Ginseng pricked up its ears and hurriedly asked, "What are those?"

“Before the Divine City, the people of this world were celestial beings.” King Qi nodded and said, “Even though they do not have the heaven-reaching and earth-shattering abilities of the Lord of the Divine City, they are still capable of moving mountains and filling seas, building magnificent palaces on flat ground, and hanging stars in the sky.”

"Amazing! Amazing!" Little Ginseng clapped his hands vigorously, as if he had just heard a storyteller tell a wonderful tale. "And what about those celestial beings?"

“I don’t know, but it’s possible they were all killed by that immortal from the divine kingdom.” King Qi said, “There have always been rumors that the immortal from the divine kingdom was at odds with the previous celestial beings, so it’s not impossible that the two sides fought each other.”

After seeing this passage, Lin Jiang subconsciously sensed the little golden figures in his inner vision space and clearly felt that they were drooping their heads, obviously somewhat disappointed.

"Let's go up and take a look first."

Lin Jiang interrupted King Qi and then walked towards the top of the tower.

King Qi shrugged and followed.

Along the way, Lin Jiangduo observed the style of the surrounding buildings. Their details were indeed exactly the same as those he had seen inside the palace.

The style was unlike the architectural style of Daxing; instead, it was closer to the ancient decorations that Lin Jiang remembered. However, it was not made of wood but was carefully carved from stone.

Finally, the human, the ghost, and the ginseng reached the top of the tower.

This is an empty room. Through the window, you can clearly see the rushing river outside and large pieces of waste paper scattered on the ground.

Lin Jiang looked down at the scattered papers. There were still traces of writing on the papers, but the place was too damp, and with several windows open, most of the writing had completely blurred and become illegible.

He shook his head helplessly.

There doesn't seem to be anything noteworthy here.

Ignoring the papers, Lin Jiang strolled to the window.

He rested his hand on the windowsill, gazing at the boundless lake outside.

Before the flood submerged this place, Lin Jiang could hardly imagine what it used to look like.

As I was gazing intently, I suddenly felt a tiny object brush against my palm.

He glanced sideways instinctively and discovered that there were marks carved on the wall by the window.

This is……

The characters of Daxing!
