Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 382 Fang Huatian

When Lin Jiang heard the words "donkey headgear," his eyebrows twitched slightly.

I never imagined that the connection between these events could be made!

He had been wondering who that donkey-headed guy was. He asked some people in the capital, and most of them only knew that he was a wandering swordsman recruited by the General's Mansion. Because of his great skills, he was promoted very quickly in the General's Mansion.

However, its specific foundation remains unknown.

I never expected him to have such an identity.

"After I came out of that underground reservoir, I discovered that in addition to techniques similar to body transformation, I had mastered some other abilities, including the ability to transform into other people."

As Fang Huatian finished speaking, a clear look of regret appeared on his face. He sighed, rubbed his head, sat down on a protruding rock, and said with a headache, resting his chin on his hand:
"When I first mastered this method, I didn't pay much attention to it and used it recklessly. I often split into two or three people to act together, and left different avatars of myself in various places to handle some affairs and experience life..."

"Experience life?"

"Yes." Fang Huatian looked a little embarrassed. "This avatar can actually share my senses. So I let them do some things that I can't experience, which gave me a lot of experiences that others can't understand. As a result, I also learned many secret techniques that are rare in the world."

Ao Xinchen's eyebrows twitched slightly, and Fang Huatian seemed to sense his thoughts, but simply smiled indifferently:
"I did a lot of crazy things when I was young, but I cleaned up most of them."

Ao Xinchen didn't delve into the matter further, only casually asking a couple of questions:
"So what happened next?"

"Later? Perhaps it was retribution, but one of my avatars suddenly became disobedient, and I lost all contact with him. He also showed no intention of communicating with me. At first, I thought this avatar had encountered an accident and unfortunately perished, so I didn't pay much attention. I never expected that..."

Fang Huatian sighed as he recounted his past experiences.

After his avatar was lost, Fang Huatian initially didn't care. However, as he continued to enjoy life in Daxing, a group of people suddenly attacked him.

These people used vicious and deadly moves, as if they wanted to devour him alive. Fortunately, his body was now extraordinary, and neither knives nor fire could take his life, allowing him to survive by sheer luck.

Fang Huatian sent his avatars to investigate the matter, only to find that those avatars, which should have been under his control, had lost their connection one after another, and even the knowledge they had acquired had vanished from his memory.

At this moment, Fang Huatian finally realized that things were not going well.

Fortunately, even after losing some of his knowledge, he still had connections to draw upon. He hurriedly used the remaining connections to investigate and was shocked to discover that a person wearing a donkey hood was secretly causing trouble.

Fang Huatian was furious and immediately began to plan a counterattack, determined to challenge that donkey-headed man.

The two sides had been secretly scheming for a long time, but unfortunately Fang Huatian was one move behind and ultimately lost to his opponent.

Forced into a corner, Donkey Head, now confident of victory, revealed his identity to Fang Huatian.

Then, Donkey Head took out a talisman from somewhere and threw it at Fang Huatian, instantly sealing all the magic power around him.

Then, without any mercy, Donkey Head severed his limbs, cut off his head, ripped out his heart, and finally threw the remains into the surging sea.

"You survived after all that?" Ao Xinchen asked in surprise.

“I survived,” Fang Huatian sighed deeply. “If it were a true transformation technique, I would have been annihilated by now. But the source of my cultivation is not the transformation technique, but the unknown secrets within Haicheng.”

"After I was thrown into the sea, my remaining body searched for fish on the seabed. Once I found enough fish, I devoured their flesh and blood, and used that flesh and blood to rebuild my body. When I woke up, I found myself on this island, where I had lived for many years."

After listening to Fang Huatian's story, Ao Xinchen still hesitated to speak.

If it weren't for the eldest young master constantly confirming the existence of the donkey head, Ao Xinchen would have thought this person was making a pointless joke.

After all, the story was so bizarre that anyone who heard it would ponder it several times and wonder if it was fabricated by the storyteller.

"That's why I've been stuck on the island for so many years."

Fang Huatian sighed helplessly.

Ao Xinchen looked him over and felt that he did indeed seem to have been trapped in this place for a long time.

"How long have you been here?"

"How long?" Fang Huatian shook his head upon hearing this. "I can't remember. Ten years? Twenty years? Or thirty years? In any case, there are no traces of ships in the waters around this island. Judging from what you just said, this place is probably not something that can be reached by ordinary means."

Upon hearing this, Ao Xinchen fell into a deep silence, remaining speechless for a long time.

She didn't want to waste the rest of her life on this island, but now, even if the eldest son told Da Yin's fleet, would that fleet really be able to find her when it sailed east?
not much hope.

However, just as she was feeling disheartened, the eldest son's voice rang in her ears again:

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to bring you back later."

"Really?" Ao Xinchen's spirits immediately lifted.

"There should be no major problem." Lin Jiang's cultivation level was steadily increasing, and his methods were able to better control the coffin.

Although the coffin was disturbed, Lin Jiang was able to use the primordial fog to condense objects beside it.

Once his cultivation has improved further, Lin Jiang will be able to condense the energy to return to his hometown.

At that time, the two will take the medicine and return to their hometown, after which they can leave the island.

The worry between Ao Xinchen's brows immediately disappeared.

She had no other choice but to rely on Lin Jiang.

A thousand thanks stuck in his throat, swirling for a moment before finally coalescing into a solemn promise: "Young Master, if I am able to leave this island, I will use the Great Yin Secret Technique to restrict myself and entrust the rest of my life to you. I will do my utmost to fulfill any request you may make."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang remained silent for a moment before speaking:
"Your life is of little use to me, and I do not need your promise. Besides, you have already regained your freedom by leaving the island, so why imprison yourself in another cage? It is really inappropriate. If I need your help then, I will find you myself."

Upon hearing this, Ao Xinchen felt a surge of emotion.

She kept this in mind, and although she didn't say much, she had already made a decision in her heart.

Slightly calming himself, Ao Xinchen glanced sideways at Fang Huatian:
"Have you ever entered the palace on the mountain?"

"Of course I went in, and I've seen everything inside." Fang Huatian raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you know anything about the Celestials?"

Ao Xinchen frowned and shook her head.

She had never heard of any so-called celestial beings.

Fang Huatian had not spoken to anyone for a long time, and since he had finally met someone eloquent, he began to talk at length.

He first explained the matter of the celestial beings in detail, and then told Ao Xinchen about the clues found beneath the water city, leaving her stunned.

He repeatedly confirmed with Lin Jiang in his mind before he was certain that the old man had not lied.

This sudden expansion of the worldview left Ao Xinchen's head buzzing, but Fang Huatian didn't give her any chance to catch her breath and continued speaking:

"The palace up there is another sacred site of the Celestials, but it seems to have suffered a catastrophe. Everyone inside is dead. I went in and looked around but didn't find anything of importance. It seems that most of the documents were taken away, leaving only some corpses that could not be collected."

"Not a single trace left?"

"No, that's not it. I found some fragments there, and although they weren't complete, they were enough to understand what they were planning."

Fang Huatian paused slightly at this point:

"This place studies the three souls and seven spirits. To be precise, it studies the fusion of the three souls and seven spirits."

……

Ao Xinchen and Fang Huatian's conversation had ended. Fang Huatian warmly invited Ao Xinchen to live with him, but Ao Xinchen, clearly unwilling to associate with this slovenly old man, politely declined.

However, she agreed to go to Fang Huatian's residence to check the distance between them, so that it would be convenient to contact him if anything happened in the future.

After they arrived at Fang Huatian's residence along the island's path, Lin Jiang saw a rather rough wooden house and a large expanse of farmland.

however……

Fang Huatian's house was not well-built; in fact, it was rather hastily constructed.

With just one glance, Ao Xinchen completely dispelled the idea of ​​staying with Fang Huatian.

However, out of pity for his fellow islanders, Ao Xinchen felt that if he were to leave at that time, it would be best to inform this person first.

Leaving the other person alone here is indeed somewhat cruel.

On the other side, Lin Jiang, whom Ao Xinchen relied on, also fell into deep thought.

Fang Huatian's appearance brought a huge amount of information.

Now Lin Jiang has figured out the true identity of that donkey head, but new questions are also arising.

What exactly did Fang Huatian encounter at the bottom of the pool?
Lin Jiang felt that what Fang Huatian had encountered was extraordinary. Thinking of the fusion of the three souls and seven spirits that the little golden men were studying here, the empty void and the mysterious coffin involuntarily came to mind.

Could that ethereal nothingness be the soul of the person inside the coffin?

No wonder the cavity kept following the coffin; it clearly wanted to return to the body!

Lin Jiang surmised that the donkey's head probably knew far more inside information than he, the original body, but its whereabouts were currently unknown; perhaps it was in the Dust Kingdom, or perhaps somewhere else.

In short, if we run into that fellow again, we must find a chance to capture him. If we cannot capture him alive, we must kill him on the spot and throw him into the inner palace. We must not let him roam freely outside again.

……

Donkey Head's wrist suddenly twitched again.

The hot water in the cup spilled out again, landing on the back of his hand.

He looked down at the back of his hand, which was already red from the burn, and remained silent.

Madam Miyin leaned closer again, and looking at the back of her hand, which was already red from the burn, she couldn't help but sigh:
"My lord, are you feeling uneasy? It seems you've already been harmed by this tea twice."

Donkey Head did not answer Madam Miyin; he simply raised his head and looked into the far distance.

In that brief moment, an extremely strong sense of unease arose in his heart.

However, he had no idea what had happened.

should……

Nothing's wrong?
