Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 406 Stepping on Clouds to Gaze at the Sun

Gong Xuan is temporarily out of danger.

The eldest son's strength far exceeded Gong Xuan's expectations. In just a short while, all of Gong Xuan's troublesome opponents were dealt with.

Lin Jiang took the opportunity to carefully observe the environment where Gong Xuan was.

When he realized that the surroundings were dark and gloomy, clearly not an ordinary place, he directly asked Gong Xuan:
"Where is this?"

"This place is a relic of the Zhou Dynasty."

Gong Xuan murmured.

"Ruins."

Lin Jiang pondered for a moment and asked:
"Do you need me to help you find the treasures in the ruins?"

Gong Xuan hesitated for a moment upon hearing this.

Finally, Gong Xuan sighed softly:
"I'm sorry to trouble you, young master. I came here to break through the limitations of my cultivation. If I rely on you for everything, I'm afraid I will still be unable to break my destiny in the end."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang glanced again at the black aura emanating from Gong Xuan.

As Gong Xuan said, as a manifestation of barren life, these black energies are exceptionally sensitive. Some of them seem to have sensed the energies emanating from the coffin stone and are quietly spreading towards the stone coffin.

Lin Jiang felt that this must be something that had been suppressed next to his destiny.

The black energy was quite perceptive; he manipulated it for a while using his magic to barely suppress it.

Logically speaking, Master Xunzhen should be able to resolve this matter, but Lin Jiang thought again and decided that Gongxuan should handle it personally.

Seeking out the old Taoist priest before treasure hunting would indeed be a good strategy. However, having already traveled this far alone and exhausted all his efforts, calling him back now might damage his resolve.

So Lin Jiang left a spy on Gong Xuan and gave him a stern warning:
"Be careful."

"Thank you."

Gong Xuan straightened his already worn-out clothes, then looked up at the desolate city before him.

The sky remained dark and gloomy, but at the very top of the towering city, a turbine-like shape appeared in the air.

But the rolling black clouds seemed to accumulate towards the very center.

Although we do not know what lies ahead, since we have already embarked on this path, we should not hesitate to turn back.

Keep going forward.

……

Lin Jiang sank back into the palace he was looking into.

He tried it briefly and found that some of the gaze was indeed fixed on Gong Xuan, which put his mind at ease.

In this way, even if Gongxuan encounters a difficult situation, Lin Jiang can immediately notice and lend a helping hand.

May Gongxuan have a smooth journey ahead.

Lin Jiang composed himself and turned his gaze back to the Six Qi, which he had not yet fully mastered.

Currently, only the wind qi and fire qi remain untouched. He is unaware of the wonders of these two qi, and after a moment's thought, he chooses the wind qi first.

After selecting the wind energy, Lin Jiang closed his eyes, and a unique and mysterious artistic conception began to fill his body.

A moment later, he opened his eyes again.

At this moment, Lin Jiang's expression also became somewhat subtle.

Contrary to his expectations, the wind energy could not be summoned from his throat with a simple opening of his mouth; on the contrary, the wind energy mainly condensed within his body.

By simply following specific methods to circulate one's internal energy, one can change the form of the internal energy.

It gathers and flows like the wind.

Lin Jiang carefully contemplated the matter before slowly withdrawing from the inner palace.

He opened his eyes, got up, and walked out of the carriage. He saw the Taoist Seeking Truth standing in front of the door, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds.

When the Taoist Seeking Truth saw Lin Jiang, a smile spread across his face:

"Young friend, did you just gain insight into a new Dharma?"

"That's right?"

Lin Jiang nodded in agreement, his gaze drifting to the floating clouds outside the car, and his feet quietly began to move in the Cloud-Stepping Technique.

As a new form of Qi flowed into the soles of his feet, he rose lightly on flowing clouds and mist, flying towards the clear sky in the distance.

Riding on the clouds as if flying, soaring through the air, stepping on the clouds far beyond the heavens, one's gaze extends for thousands of miles.

Lin Jiang's accumulation of the Cloud-Stepping Technique was still shallow, but after changing his method of circulating Qi, the techniques that had accompanied him for a long time also improved rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In almost an instant, he soared up the mountain from what was originally an ordinary method of mountain climbing.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Jiang felt that he could walk on flat ground without needing to step on anything.

The wind can be a step, and so can the clouds. Gazing at the magnificent world in the distance, Lin Jiang opened his arms wide.

For a moment, I felt completely refreshed and relaxed.

now,

Only when one treads on clouds and mist does it truly transform into the method of ascending to heaven on cloud.

The commotion alerted the others inside the house.

Yu Wenyun and the others had seen Lin Jiang use similar techniques before. Although they had not witnessed Lin Jiang flying on clouds, considering that Lin Jiang had talked with the old Taoist priest who could become a cloud master for more than 20 days, it was not surprising that he had learned this method.

After seeing Lin Jiang fly in the sky, Little Ginseng opened its mouth wide, jumped around happily, waved in Lin Jiang's direction, and shouted:
"Take me with you! Take me with you!"

The two demon cores who had been following the little ginseng also saw this scene. Naturally, they couldn't make any expression and could only stare at the circling figure in the sky in silence.

After waiting for what seemed like forever, Yellow Ears finally managed to squeeze out a sigh from his throat:
Do you remember what we talked about back when we were living in the mountains?

"We talked about all sorts of things back then, from why I'm willing to eat grass and you're willing to eat shit, all the way to which type of female demon do you think has the most perky butt if we didn't transform into human form. Now you're asking me this, and I really can't remember."

Yellow Ears stood there for a long time, finally managing to squeeze out a sound from its throat:
"Talking to you is fucking annoying."

So, which sentence is it exactly?

"We were discussing whether there are real immortals in this world. I said no, and you said yes."

“Oh, I remember now. Didn’t you say back then that those so-called immortals were just people who had cultivated their cultivation to a high enough level, and were not some unattainable beings?”

"Yes."

The sunlight reflected off the yellow-eared demon core as it traveled above the clouds to Linjiang, its voice filled with deep emotion:

"However, I now feel that I may have been presumptuous, and that there may indeed be immortals in this world."

……

Lin Jiang strolled back to the courtyard, feeling refreshed.

After fine-tuning the flow of Qi, he even felt that his body was much lighter and more agile than usual.

The Seeking Truth Taoist's gaze sharpened slightly as he asked:
"You cultivate the Cloud-Treading Technique?"

Lin Jiang was slightly surprised upon hearing this:

"The Taoist priest actually knows this method?"

“Of course I know,” the Taoist Master Xunzhen stroked his beard. “This was developed by me and the local tribes in the past.”

Lin Jiang was truly astonished.

He never expected there to be such a connection between them.

The Taoist priest continued stroking his long beard:

“In the past, I traveled around the world. From here to the west, you can see continuous mountain ranges. Following the mountain range to the north, you will find the tribes that live deep in the mountains.”

"Many of their people are born with large feet, and their ability to climb mountains is particularly outstanding. They can walk on rocks as if they were on flat ground, and their climbing skills are unparalleled."

"At that time, I met with several capable people in my clan. Through discussion and verification, we created this simple and easy movement technique, which is called 'Treading on Clouds'."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

Originally, the Taoist Xunzhen created this method and left it deep in the mountains far from Daxing. Later, someone traveled there, learned the mountain climbing technique called Ta Yunxia, ​​and brought it back to Daxing, establishing the Ta Yunxia lineage.

Unexpectedly, the very method I learned long ago has found its original creator here.

Isn't that also a kind of fate?
After sighing, Lin Jiang looked down over the entire western frontier from the clouds.

"This western frontier is truly teeming with wondrous creatures. Although I had heard much and seen much before coming here, I still find the wonders of creation truly astounding."

“Indeed. I share the same feeling.” The old Taoist also walked to the edge of the clouds. “That is why I traveled extensively in the Western Regions when I was young. There is only one question that I still do not understand.”

"Master Taoist, please speak."

"You said..." Master Xunzhen lowered his eyes and looked down at the vast earth:
"Why are all these extraordinary beings gathered here? If all living beings in the world truly originated from the physical manifestation of the Primordial Great Fog Coffin Master, why do they alone possess such peculiar characteristics?"

At this point, the Taoist Seeking Truth paused abruptly.

After a moment, he spoke with a hint of conjecture:

"Could it be... because this place is very close to that immortal mountain of the celestial beings?"

Lin Jiang, upon hearing the words of the Seeking Truth Taoist, was clearly lost in thought.

Yes.

Leaving aside their ordinary appearance, the demeanor of these people from the Western Regions was indeed very "unique".

Where did they come from?
