Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 416 Sense of dissonance

"Although I really wanted my master to witness the great things we were about to accomplish, unfortunately, because of the immortal's gaze, I can only narrate these years."

Li Jinyue gently pressed her fingertip, and the surrounding mist subtly changed shape.

Simple line drawings formed by condensed mist appeared around Li Jinyue.

Her fingertips gently brushed across the mist, and the fragmented images quickly coalesced into complete stories in her palm.

Lin Jiang stared intently at the mist, and in Li Jinyue's palm, a few wisps of mist condensed into her shape.

Li Jinyue, composed of mist, hid amidst the chaos, surrounded by a complex array of scenes that filled all directions.

"When the immortals descended, they indiscriminately slaughtered the living people around them, whether they were celestial beings or rebels who rushed in. The difference in their cultivation levels was huge. All I could do was try to activate the stone statues outside, and use them to forcibly delay the immortals for a while, and then escape from the immortal mountain with the remaining people."

As Li Jinyue spoke, the mist in her hand slowly changed, gradually transforming into a scene of her walking at the forefront, followed by many people.

"All our methods and skills were completely ineffective against that immortal, leaving us no choice but to flee in panic."

"It seems that we escaped this calamity because the immortal was unable to immediately return the soul to the coffin."

"Later we gradually realized that if we wanted to deal with this immortal, our existing strength was far from enough. In addition, we were already on the verge of death. If we did not take a desperate gamble, we would only be waiting to die."

"then……

"We are determined to take a risky approach."

"We will use the Elixir of Disaster Relief to cultivate an army of absolute loyalty in order to defeat that immortal."

Hearing this, Lin Jiang frowned.

"Absolute loyalty? You were just betrayed, and now you're trying to do this again?"

“If we were to seek help from outsiders, it would be extremely unreliable. We simply cannot be sure who might suddenly turn against us and worsen our situation. Therefore, we ultimately chose someone who would never betray us.”

"I will never betray you..."

Lin Jiang frowned and muttered something to himself, and some thoughts did indeed surface in his mind:
"Could it be..."

The words had barely left his throat when Lin Jiang suddenly felt the scene before him blur.

A cacophony of sounds came from beside him, as if someone was exclaiming in alarm.

Even the scene before Lin Jiang's eyes was on the verge of collapse.

"Master, something seems to have happened next to you."

"I'll come back later."

Lin Jiang immediately dispelled the fog.

……

Lin Jiang snapped out of his daze from a thick fog.

The impact of everything that just happened was indeed quite significant for Lin Jiang, leaving him somewhat dazed.

The Celestials' actions were far more insane than he had imagined, and Lin Jiang didn't actually approve of some of their practices.

That arrogance, almost ingrained in his bones, made him uncomfortable.

Lin Jiang was rubbing his head when he realized that he had been disturbed by the noise.

He immediately turned his head to find the source of the noise.

Then he suddenly caught a glimpse of a very familiar figure flying backwards out of a slightly familiar corridor not far away.

Upon closer inspection,
It was King Qi who flew out!
Lin Jiang was slightly taken aback. He saw that Qi Wang was wrapped in a piece of black cloth, which looked like it was stuck to his body. However, the cloth was clearly causing Qi Wang a lot of pain. His face, which was a mix of men, women, young and old, was almost contorted with pain, and he was making continuous squeaking noises.

"Oh ho ho ho!" King Qi finally managed to peel off the black patch on his body.

Lin Jiang stared intently and discovered that the black patch was actually a fish floating in the air.

Its body seemed to appear out of thin air, long and slender like a sturgeon, yet exceptionally ferocious, its eyes glowing red as it stared intently at King Qi, as if it wanted to tear him apart.

After a moment's thought, the King of Qi took out a small hammer from his pocket and struck the fish's head hard.

Suddenly, an arc of light flashed around the large fish, and in an instant, its body turned from black to brownish-red, with countless cracks appearing on its skin like knife cuts.

A fish was transformed into grilled fish.

The fish fell to the ground with a thud, and King Qi, holding a small hammer, pointed repeatedly into the depths of the corridor and shouted:

"There's someone inside who's cunning!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure darted out from the corridor.

The figure moved with lightning speed, initially pouncing towards King Qi, but the instant it rushed out of the corridor, Lin Jiang clearly noticed it pause for a moment before lunging at Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang immediately raised his hand to parry.

The two sides began to struggle at this moment, and neither could gain the upper hand.

He clearly sensed that the other party's power was far greater than he had imagined.

Lin Jiang stared at the dark figure and suddenly realized that the person's appearance was similar to Li Jinyue's.

The other person's expression was completely unlike that of a normal human being, exuding a clear sense of blankness from the inside out.

But when he saw Lin Jiang, his eyes clearly showed hatred.

She opened her mouth, let out a sharp roar, and threw a punch at Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang blocked with his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then exerted force with both hands, unleashing the power of Wu Zizai.

Although the opponent possessed astonishing strength, her physical resistance was clearly inferior to Lin Jiang's; under the relentless onslaught, her skin rapidly ulcerated, visibly so. Taking advantage of her pain, Lin Jiang intended to unleash the Chaotic Qi Technique to deliver a fatal blow to her neck, but unexpectedly, the woman forcefully pulled outwards, snapping both of her arms.

Black blood was flowing from his wound, but in the blink of an eye, it transformed into several sturgeon floating in the air, which bit at Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang directly used the Unfettered Technique to strike the fish, but their toughness was poor, and they instantly exploded into a bloody mess.

But immediately a chilling aura spread along the corpses, climbing upwards through Lin Jiang's meridians and entering his mind.

In a flash, Lin Jiang felt as if his thoughts had been frozen. He quickly took out the Pure Dust from his pocket and threw it into his mouth.

That's what made their method ineffective.

Unfortunately, the woman took this opportunity to rush straight into the depths of the corridor.

In the blink of an eye, she disappeared down the corridor without a trace.

Because the buildings here are far more sturdy than those outside, there was no damage to the ground during their battle. Apart from a few fish on the ground, there was almost nothing unusual about the ground, and it was as quiet as if no one was fighting here.

Lin Jiang looked in the direction the woman had fled. He recalled for a moment, comparing his memory with the place, and realized that it should be the place where Yu had developed the coffin.

Lin Jiang muttered to himself, "So these are the absolutely loyal soldiers you were talking about..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the woman's response:
"With me as your embodiment, you will naturally be absolutely loyal."

Lin Jiang spoke with slight surprise, only then realizing that a small wisp of mist had appeared beside him at some point.

The mist slowly condensed and transformed into a small golden man with all four limbs.

She carefully grasped the hem of Lin Jiang's clothes and hid inside his robe.

"Is this what you mean by absolute loyalty?"

Lin Jiang pointed to the fish on the ground.

Lin Jiang acknowledged his opponent's skill. Although he had suffered a loss in their earlier exchange, he clearly sensed that his opponent was now acting like a wild beast, driven solely by instinct.

For cultivators, losing their rationality is of no benefit to their cultivation, and they can only exert one-tenth of their strength.

"At that time, I created a total of eighty-one people and developed the Ascension Pill. The group formed a single formation and launched a strong attack on this place, forcing the immortal to take action. After that battle, all of us who were celestial beings separated from our physical bodies, and the immortal's true body was sealed here."

Li Jinyue, hanging around Lin Jiang's neck, sighed helplessly:
"But I never expected that the coffin here would continue to produce my physical body..."

The little figure formed from condensed mist looked somewhat disappointed.
"Master, could you please help me get rid of these things? These devices are still producing my body. They have lost their minds. If left unattended, they will only become a menace to the area."

After a pause, the little man added:

"Although I'm not entirely sure, if we destroy this outpost, the girl traveling with me should have an easier time."

She was probably referring to Jiang Jinyue.

Lin Jiang pondered for a moment, then finally nodded:

"it is good."

Hearing Lin Jiang say that, Li Jinyue visibly relaxed a lot.

Lin Jiang turned his head to look at the group of people traveling with him, pointed to the corridor, and the others understood what he meant.

The woman who suddenly appeared had clearly piqued their curiosity. It wasn't realistic to turn around and retreat now, so they decided to chase after her and see what was going on.

Without saying much, the group followed Lin Jiang along the corridor.

On the way, Lin Jiang wanted to talk to his companions about the Celestials, but he swallowed the words back.

It wasn't that Lin Jiang didn't trust the people in front of him.

Something just doesn't feel right.

A faint sense of unease lingered in my mind.

But at this moment, Lin Jiang couldn't quite figure out what was wrong.

Li Jinyue's statement is logically consistent and without any flaws.

Could it be that I'm just being paranoid?

He continued on his way, when suddenly he heard the King of Qi shouting loudly:
"What a huge tree!"

Lin Jiang confirmed once again that the King of Qi's vocabulary was indeed limited. He looked up along the long corridor and saw a towering, extremely lush tree standing at the end.

The gnarled branches twisted and turned, and the ground at the far end of the hall was covered with signs of damage. With just one glance, Lin Jiang matched this scene with the hall where the giant tree was located in his memory, and at the same time, he caught a glimpse of a coffin hanging in the center of the tree, half-dangling between the branches.

The coffin was tightly closed, and was firmly wrapped by vines on both sides.

The coffin's tail had become one with the tree, deeply embedded in the trunk.

However, compared to the magnificent scene in my memory, the giant tree in front of me looks pale and dilapidated, as if it is on the verge of withering.

Holding his breath and staring at this scene, Lin Jiang slowly stopped in his tracks.

"Master, you only need to get rid of that coffin, and that should solve the problem of the ever-growing organisms."

The little figure made of mist climbed up and landed on Lin Jiang's shoulder.

However, after she finished speaking, she noticed that Lin Jiang didn't make a sound at all.

Lin Jiang did not continue forward, but turned his head to look at the little figure formed by the mist.

Staring at each other.
