Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 413 Master, you've arrived
That glance during the meeting went completely unnoticed by anyone else, and even the person involved didn't seem to notice it much.

Li Jinyue also stepped back, allowing the heads of these three methods to come forward and report on their current progress.

Lin Jiang was also listening nearby, and after hearing their plan, he couldn't quite control his expression.

The first plan, "Moving Clouds," involves altering the internal structure of the coffin, drastically accelerating its movement, and ensuring that the coffin and the soul remain permanently separated, preventing the soul from ever touching the coffin again.

The person in charge was a rather old-fashioned-looking man with a long beard and a face that seemed to be full of resentment and defiance.

The second plan involves moving the mountain, attempting to gradually transform the form of every inch of land within the coffin, first turning it into the most primordial "dense fog," and then re-aggregating it. In this way, the soul loses its clear orientation to the physical body, and thus becomes unable to locate the spirit coffin.

The final plan is to transform into immortals, which involves using the power of the fusion between the natives and the earth to give birth to a new race. The souls of immortals will be separated, absorbed, and refined in batches, and their souls will be forged into pills for these new races to consume, transforming them into the labor force of the celestial beings, thereby completely squeezing out all the resources of this spirit coffin.

It's clear that each of these three plans is quite...

Outrageous.

Lin Jiang even felt that these things were only theoretically possible, but the Celestials seemed not to care about this and were still doing their best to push the matter forward.

and……

Lin Jiang recalled his journey in Daxing over the past year and suddenly realized that it seemed the Celestials had already accomplished quite a bit.

First, there were the coffin boards around the coffin. Lin Jiang had long known that those places had been dug up and built into cities by the celestial beings.

At the time, Lin Jiang didn't understand why the celestial beings would leave the vast open space unused and instead focus on making a fuss over the coffin lid; now he thinks they were probably researching some kind of method to speed up the coffin's escape from this place.

The coffin is currently under construction, perhaps the celestial beings of that time have already succeeded.

Secondly, Lin Jiang never expected that the primordial fog was the work of celestial beings. He had no idea that these people were so audacious as to attempt to deceive everyone and reshape everything inside the coffin.

This method seems to have the least potential problems, but it is also the most difficult to implement. However, most substances can indeed be aggregated by the primordial fog, and it is unknown whether this is the work of the celestial beings.

The speaker, Li Jinyue, was also an executor of the Primordial Fog Project, but her status was clearly a notch higher than the other two.

As for the third one, it sounds the least reliable, but it's actually the most ambitious part.

The celestial beings, having lost their way, ended up in this coffin. Unable to find a better place to live nearby, they decided to forcibly transform this place.

From their perspective, the vast souls outside the world can also be seen as a source of energy that can be utilized.

If we can bring it under our control, it will naturally bring many benefits.

However, they were also deeply ingrained with arrogance and did not take the deceased Great Immortal Venerable seriously at all, so the third plan came into being.

After learning the details of these three plans, Lin Jiang's assessment of the Celestials was reduced to one sentence:
Mad and insane, utterly devoid of reverence.

The thought that they had all turned into little golden statues made Lin Jiang guess what their fate would be.

After the meeting ended, perhaps out of respect for that woman, the remaining two sect leaders did indeed have a brief meeting.

However, Lin Jiang could indeed tell that their relationship wasn't very good.

After leaving the meeting, the man continued to intensify his research on the method he was in charge of. Even though Lin Jiang, who was standing next to him, didn't understand it very well, he could tell that the man's actions had become even more radical.

Because he was attached to this executor, Lin Jiang knew little about the progress of the first two plans, but knew a great deal about the third plan.

The primary task is to cultivate an extremely resilient body within the coffin. This body must integrate with the overall environment of the coffin in order to better absorb the soul of its original owner.

Next, they need to actively introduce calamity to weaken the power of the main soul.

Although Lin Jiang was unwilling, he still contacted the supervisor of Yiyun and asked him to create a special method of guiding souls under the ocean near the coffin, so as to absorb the souls outside one by one.

This is precisely why there are so many calamities beneath the ocean.

With all preparations complete, the man's research began to develop rapidly, and some "people" that Lin Jiang now found somewhat familiar gradually appeared in the testing grounds.

A native of Daxing.

To be precise, they are people from the Old God City.

The Lanco people and the Daxing people do have very obvious differences in appearance, and the strange races around them are all "failed products" derived from the Lanco people's experiments.

The people of the Old God City, whose appearances most resembled those of the Celestials, were also the most suitable to contain "souls".

The man was overjoyed as he saw his accomplishment.

However, unexpected problems also arose.

He got stuck on a rather crucial issue.

……

The man carefully channeled a few wisps of bright red Qi into the body of the person sleeping with their eyes closed.

The moment the human body came into contact with the red aura, its body began to expand and twist at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, its outer skin burst open, and the flesh inside surged out, just like a bright red flower in full bloom.

Witnessing this, the man pressed his forehead hard and sighed deeply twice. He was caught in a troubling predicament.

The physical bodies he researched would trigger a stronger "body transformation reaction" once they came into contact with calamities.

That is, they will completely fall into a state of alienation.

He studied it for a long time, but made no progress.

It was as if an invisible curse was hindering his progress.

Seeing that there was still no progress today, the man could only sigh and leave.

When they went outside, the younger man who had shown the coffin to the man earlier was waiting.

Seeing the man's dejected expression, he couldn't help but ask:

"Failed again?"

"I really don't understand why they couldn't hold on?" the man muttered to himself, his frustration barely concealed.

"Why don't you go ask Sister Li?" the younger generation suggested softly. "Sister Li's spiritual cultivation is profound; perhaps she can offer some insights."

The man remained silent for a moment.

He seemed reluctant to seek help from others, but realizing he had no other way to move forward, he could only sigh in the end.
"I'll go find her and ask her."

He said no more and left in silence.

Instead of returning to his usual resting place, he went to a few rarely seen celestial beings, chatted with them for a few minutes, and asked them to arrange a meeting with Li Jinyue.

According to them, Li Jinyue would be free the next day, so the man returned to his residence and spent a difficult night.

The next day, he arrived at a place resembling a teahouse as agreed.

Li Jinyue booked a large room on the second floor of the teahouse. The man entered the room and found only the two of them alone.

The man looked at the other person, appearing quite uneasy.

He seemed to be trying to remain calm, but he couldn't hide the anger mixed in with his emotions.

Li Jinyue, however, paid no attention to his expression and simply served tea to both of them with elegance.

"Brother Yu, is there something you need from me today?"

The man remained silent for a moment before finally revealing the thorny problem he had encountered in his research.

When Li Jinyue heard these words, a knowing smile appeared on her face:
"I had already thought about this question before. The reason why things are like this is mainly because of... the will of Heaven."

"The way of heaven?"

“The Heavenly Dao of this world,” Li Jinyue pointed to the ceiling, “you can also call it the residual consciousness of this body. It instinctively desires the fusion of soul and body, and for this reason, any physical body created from its own body is naturally unable to escape the catastrophe of the fusion of soul and body.”

"this?"

Upon hearing this, the man clenched his teeth involuntarily.
"Then all my efforts have been in vain?"

“Not exactly.” Li Jinyue shook her head gently: “If you can create the technique of metal transformation, and then solidify the calamity, refining it into something like a pill, then you can naturally gradually break down the calamity.”

Upon hearing this, the man's angry expression gradually subsided.

However, he remained silent for a moment before turning his gaze to Li Jinyue.

"Did you already know about this?"

"Within the primordial fog, there was no concept of time. What then was the difference between morning, noon, and night?"

The man stared intently at Li Jinyue's beautiful face: "That's why I hate you."

Li Jinyue smiled but remained silent.

The man picked up his teacup, took a large gulp, and then stood up to leave.

"Farewell!"

But as soon as he stood up, his eyes suddenly became empty.

After swaying twice, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Lin Jiang, who had been watching from the sidelines, was taken aback when he saw this scene.

What's going on? Is there medicine in this tea? And why did it leave people so confused?
Then, Lin Jiang saw a relaxed expression on Li Jinyue's face.

She knelt facing Lin Jiang, bowing slightly to him.

"Master, you are here."
