Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 412 Three Methods of Moving Heaven
Lin Jiang stared at that familiar face, unable to hide his surprise.

Although Lin Jiang had already roughly guessed that Li Ziguang must have some connection with the Celestial Being when that soul attacked him earlier.

But now that he has seen the irrefutable evidence, Lin Jiang is only puzzled as to why the other party is so hostile towards him.

Lin Jiangqiang suppressed his surprise and continued to listen intently to their conversation.

The woman walked with a smile to the side of the man Lin Jiang was possessing:
"How's your research on that door going?"

"Which one are you talking about? I'm in charge of three sects." The possessed man yawned lazily.

"The method of differentiation. Didn't you prepare quite a few coffins to fuse with physical bodies? Has the most suitable body for the Great Immortal Venerable been created yet?"

The woman pressed for an answer.

The man rolled his eyes dismissively:

"I created a black-skinned creature that can breathe fire, a creature with big feet that can climb mountains, a creature with three eyes but poor eyesight, and a creature with holes in its body and its vital organs not in the right place. Which one do you think is suitable for the Great Immortal Venerable?"

The woman covered her face and chuckled softly.

Lin Jiang, inside the man's body, couldn't laugh at all after hearing these words.

This content is "powerful" in every sense.

According to them, all the strangely-looking people in the Western Regions were actually created by them.

The image of the people in the coffin involuntarily surfaced in Lin Jiang's mind.

They looked like the product of being forced to fuse with some special creature.

Moreover, it seems that this group intends to use this method to create a physical body that can bear the soul of an immortal.

Are the celestial beings attempting to collect souls from the outside world through this method?

So, the later immortals were products of this plan?

Lin Jiang's thoughts raced, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what the original celestial beings were doing now was simply inhuman.

Just as he was thinking this, the man casually slumped back in his chair, yawning:

"Li Jinyue, you didn't come here today to make fun of me, did you? Your mountain-moving technique is indeed much smoother than mine. If you want to laugh, then laugh."

Upon hearing this name, Lin Jiang's expression became even more uncontrollable.

Fortunately, he is currently just a perspective; no matter how abstract the expression his true self makes outside, these people cannot see it.

"This has nothing to do with me. You might as well go to your inner room and see; all your men are over there."

Li Jinyue smiled, turned around, and left without looking back.

Only the man remained, frowning, as he got up and rubbed his shoulders.
"What are these little bastards doing?"

Lin Jiang's gaze followed the man closely, stretching into the distance. He passed through those seemingly ordinary corridors, where, in addition to the winding path, there were also quite a few rather casual celestial beings.

Their postures were so casual that Lin Jiang couldn't connect this group of people with this grand "plan" at all.

The two walked to a corner and came to a huge, sealed door.

Under the man's questioning gaze, the door slowly opened, revealing a number of celestial beings standing directly behind it.

They smiled and looked in the man's direction, then clapped in unison.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

Behind them, in the spacious hall, stood a towering tree.

The trees almost touched the roof of the stone house, towering imposingly, their treetops shimmering with a crystalline light, like dazzling crystals.

Instead of hanging coffins from the treetops like fruit, the coffins were tightly fastened to the center of the enormous tree.

The coffin was hollow inside, but there was just enough space to put a person inside.

The coffin was filled with wooden structures resembling vines, piled up inside.

A young man approached the man and spoke earnestly and sincerely:
"Brother Yu! Under your guidance, we've successfully developed this coffin. With this, you can create the best possible vessel!"

Lin Jiang could clearly feel that
The person he possessed,

A genuine smile appeared on my face.

……

With this coffin, the man Lin Jiang possessed did indeed work much faster than before.

Since that gathering-like event ended, the people have returned to their normal work routines.

On ordinary days, they are much more serious than at that gathering. Although they still have a bit of laziness in their bones, it is at least a normal working atmosphere.

For this research, the man also found some colleagues and asked them to go down the mountain to fetch some people.

"Should we bring in someone?" The colleague scratched his head. "We just did that a while ago, but I don't know if they managed to get the human sacrifice right."

"They only consider that 10% of their country is human, and the rest are human sacrifices." The man sneered twice: "Don't even mention adding more people this time, even if they need people every month, they can provide them."

His colleague shrugged helplessly, but still went to handle the matter. The man also resumed his work.

He would occasionally chat with his colleagues, and Lin Jiang could glean some information from their snippets of conversation.

Before the celestial beings arrived at this coffin, mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas had already formed inside it, and the original inhabitants lived peacefully on this continent, in a state of non-interference with each other.

They resemble one small tribe after another.

After the Celestials arrived in this world, they chose the highest mountain in the area as their base, built their stronghold there, and gathered all the tribes near the mountain, giving them a new name.

It's called Bluek.

In the language of the Celestials, "Lan Ke" actually means "rotten handle," which literally means "rotten wooden handle," implying a tool that is not working properly.

The Celestials helped the Lanko people establish their own country and spread a lot of knowledge and technology to improve their living standards. The Lanko people also regarded the Celestials as gods from heaven who bestowed upon them wondrous foreign laws.

However, they showed no mercy when it came to consuming people for experiments.

Basically, the Celestials will directly request the number of people they need from Blue Science.

Due to their customs, Lanko did indeed raise many human sacrifices, which they would offer as sacrifices to the celestial beings whenever they requested them.

Over time, a sacrificial culture similar to ancestor worship has even evolved in this area. Sometimes, even without any request from the heavens or the people, the old Lanke people will burn a batch of human sacrifices to worship their ancestors.

The two sides maintained this abnormal relationship.

As he watched the other party begin conducting experiments day after day, Lin Jiang glanced at him but couldn't quite figure out what he was doing, so he simply adjusted the fog and actively pushed the flow of time around him.

His perspective shifted rapidly.

Finally, after who knows how long, the man's perspective began to shift slightly from the monotonous routine of "working at work and resting after get off work."

He started the meeting.

Lin Jiang was initially uninterested in the meeting and was about to skip it when a few background noises caught his attention.

"...Since the Great Immortal Venerable's spiritual body and spirit merged, natural disasters have been constant. However, with the combined methods of the three parties, we have achieved great results. Without a hundred years of effort, we can avoid all kinds of dangers."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang perked up.

He slowed down and began to examine the memory closely.

At this moment, this group of celestial beings was in a magnificent and spacious hall. Although there were many people in the hall, they were clearly divided into three factions.

The person Lin Jiang possessed was actually the leader of one of the factions.

The one who stepped forward to speak was none other than Li Jinyue, who was dressed in a long-sleeved robe, with a cloud-shaped pendant in her hand and a round fan in her hand. Her voice was very infectious, and she seemed to be the leader of this group of celestial beings.

"...Our hometown is gone. We wandered in the Milky Way and the sea, searching for a new home to settle down. After a long search, we finally found this good place, but then we encountered a natural disaster. Fortunately, we persevered and, with the idea of ​​not giving up, we kept moving forward and saw the dawn."

Li Jinyue delivered her opening remarks with great enthusiasm, from which Lin Jiang extracted the key points.

The Celestials were indeed outsiders.

Their purpose in coming here was very simple.

They came to escape.

The homeland of the Celestials was destroyed for unknown reasons, and they came here in search of a new, habitable place.

Soon after entering the coffin, they discovered the existence of the calamity and quickly began research, revealing its truth in just two or three years:

"The original immortal of this place died and his body transformed into all things. However, his soul was immortal and attempted to recombine with his flesh and blood. Between the fusion of spirit and flesh, mountain torrents and tsunamis never ceased, and chaos persisted. Local creatures that encountered it were mutated, and those that touched it went mad."

“If this continues, and he survives, we will naturally have no home.”

Hearing Li Jinyue's words, Lin Jiang's initial guesses gradually came true.

Calamity is an anomaly arising from the fusion of the spirit and body of an immortal.

The myriad creatures that arose within the coffin were like cancer cells in the body to the coffin's owner; and the fusion of spirit and flesh was like a violent rejection reaction, attempting to completely erase all life within.

Li Jinyue surveyed the entire audience:
"We have now divided this matter into three parts: the first is 'Cloud Flow,' the second is 'Moving Mountains,' and the third is 'Immortal Transformation.' Today, we are all gathered here. If any techniques prove difficult to master, we should share our knowledge and avoid working in isolation. After all, Xinxiang is the most crucial foundation. We hope everyone can put aside any disputes and strive together to build this great undertaking."

Her gaze slowly swept over each face:
"I know you all harbor competitive thoughts. However, for the sake of Xinxiang, for the sake of survival, we must clearly distinguish between what is more important."

A hush fell over the room; everyone remained silent, and it was unclear whether they had taken her words to heart.

Lin Jiang's gaze swept over the three distinct factions in the meeting room.

Judging from the situation, in order to resolve this crisis, the Celestials finally devised three plans. However, this group was not monolithic, and undercurrents of infighting and backstabbing still surged at the critical moment of life and death.

It's just unknown what mysteries each of these three strategies corresponds to.

The transformation into an immortal must be something that is controlled by the person one possesses.

As Lin Jiang was pondering, he suddenly saw Li Jinyue's gaze pierce his direction like needles.

A smile played on her lips, but her eyes seemed to see right through any pretense.

Lin Jiang's brows furrowed slightly.

Is that gaze falling on me, or on the body I inhabit?
