Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Why is Chapter 419 useless?

Duan Libie carefully made her way up the mountain.

He clutched the ring tightly in his hand, his expression clearly showing some tension.

This was his third time setting foot on the sacred mountain.

When he first visited, his cultivation was not yet profound enough. Although the immortal had passed away, the divine kingdom still existed. At that time, his hometown was safe and sound, and he was living a leisurely and comfortable life. There was no reason for him to risk venturing into this place.

However, one day, a strange man came to his hometown and stayed for several days before disappearing without a trace.

At first, no one took the matter seriously, but a few days later, the city of God sent people to say that their messenger had disappeared in his hometown.

No matter how the villagers pleaded and explained, Shencheng ignored them and sent troops straight to his hometown.

In just a few days, his hometown was reduced to dust in history.

To this day, Duan Libie still vividly remembers how he fled his hometown in a panic with the crowd of disaster victims. Looking back, flames shot into the sky, and the soldiers of the divine city chased after him viciously.

He was separated from the army and fled all the way, not knowing how long he had been on the run.

Finally, one day I arrived at the foot of a mountain, and exhausted, I fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, I was in a special, pitch-black space with a huge platform beneath my feet.

He wandered aimlessly until he finally found a room when he was on the verge of starvation.

He was only looking for food, and after searching the room for a long time without finding any, he unexpectedly came across several special books.

As soon as he picked up the book, he felt dizzy and fainted.

When he woke up again, he had already returned to the outside world with the books.

He discovered that these books contained experimental techniques for concealing one's physical form and methods for questioning one's inner self.

Duan Libie felt as if his stomach was about to explode. He forced himself to learn the art of concealing his body, sneaked into a nearby city, stole a lot of food, and finally survived.

Later, relying on these two methods, he quickly cultivated a powerful level of cultivation, and then used this cultivation to search for clues about the plot to harm his homeland in the divine city.

It took a full seventeen years and four months of separation before the truth was finally revealed:
The destruction of his hometown was caused by a nobleman in the divine city who saw that there was a great treasure hidden near his homeland. He became greedy and thus staged a grand drama.

At that time, Duan Libie was furious, but his strength was not enough to contend with the powerful nobles of the divine city, so he could only lie low and wait for a good opportunity.

As they waited, the kingdom of God was overthrown.

Once a powerful nobleman, he was reduced to a homeless dog in the midst of turmoil. His revenge, which he had been planning for over a decade, came to an end.

He killed the nobleman and seized a treasure map from him. The map contained the nobleman's years of hard work in his investigation, but the nobleman ultimately failed to find the legendary treasure.

Duan Libie had no interest in the treasure; every time he saw it, a wave of sorrow would rise in his heart.

But he didn't throw it away; he just kept it with him as a memento.

With the collapse of the divine city, Duan Libie was at a loss for where to go, so he decided to make a living in the chaos by relying on his skills. At this time, his assassination organization also quietly rose up.

It was during this war that Duan Libie heard news of the immortal mountain.

At that time, he had just taken his revenge and was in a state of confusion and helplessness. When he learned that there was such a secret treasure in the world, he became interested.

So he led a group of trusted followers and followed the clues to find the sacred mountain.

However, the closer he got to the sacred mountain, the more familiar the scenery along the way seemed.

Gradually, as we parted, we realized with a start that this road was just like the one we had walked long ago!

When he led his men to the sacred mountain, they found its gates wide open, and other seekers also wishing to climb it. As they entered the mountain, the surrounding sky suddenly felt strangely familiar to Duan Libie, and he realized that his childhood adventure had taken place in this very sacred mountain.

That day, after parting ways, he was full of vigor and believed that he was destined to be with the immortals and would surely be able to find another opportunity in the mountains.

Unexpectedly,

They encountered these statues in this dark and secluded corridor.

The statue's craftsmanship was beyond imagination; even with some damage, the combined efforts of everyone were no match for it.

After a fierce battle, he was unable to withstand the attack, but because he was skilled in secret techniques, he managed to escape through the back gate of the immortal mountain.

The moment of parting was shocking and disorienting.

How could he have imagined that these stone sculptures would be so ferocious?
But I was still unwilling to accept it.

How can we let this opportunity, which we have gone through so much trouble to find, slip away?

They decided to remain hidden outside the stone carving offensive, wanting to observe how the later arrivals would respond.

He witnessed many who came seeking fame being reduced to dust, and he also saw many powerful cultivators forced into retreat.

Few knew that the Immortal Mountain had been opened, and after several escapes, the mountain was deserted.

However, just as Duan Libie was feeling disheartened and thought there was no way to get through, he suddenly saw a man with an extremely strange face stepping down from the immortal mountain.

It was neither a scar nor an ugliness, but rather that the entire face seemed to be covered by a layer of mist that made it impossible to see through. If you stared at it for a moment, you would feel a strong sense of dizziness.

However, when this person passed by the statues, he only showed the thumb ring in his palm, and the terrifying statues did not launch an attack.

This provided a glimmer of hope for the separation.

He remained hidden in the same spot for a long time, and after the man came down the mountain for the second time, he quietly followed him.

Only after he was far from the sacred mountain did he catch a glimpse of the man taking off the ring, and he seized the opportunity to snatch it away quietly.

This marks his third return to the sacred mountain since winning the ring.

This time, he was confident that he would be able to enter safely!

As for the group of people and the barbarians ahead...

Since they have no "key", how can they safely pass through those stone statues?

After entering the sacred mountain, he went up the stairs and soon arrived at the original location where the stone statue was guarding.

And as he had encountered, the stone steps were covered with blood.

Numerous bodies, torn to pieces or charred, lay scattered on the stairs, pushed downwards by the wind blowing from the side.

When these things fell into this boundless darkness, they vanished completely, leaving no trace.

Upon arriving at this place, Duan Libie saw several stone statues looking in his direction. Memories of the past flooded his mind like a tide, but he quickly raised the ring in his hand and held it up in front of the statues. He noticed that the statues' gazes seemed to be focused on the ring.

After a long while, the stone sculpture finally uttered a sound:
"license."

Upon hearing this voice, Duan Libie breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally succeeded.

Overjoyed, he continued his ascent up the mountain.

However, just as Duan Libie passed by those stone statues, he suddenly noticed that the statue behind him trembled slightly.

He stiffly turned around and saw the statue floating in the pitch-black void without any support, slowly turning around and staring at him again.

The muscles in the whole body tensed up instantly upon separation.

"There is an intruder."

He heard a soft female voice coming from this dark void. The language was extremely ancient and could only be used by the earliest people of the divine kingdom. However, Duan Libie had lived for a long time and had studied the local script, so he understood it.

Those words, once they entered his ears, were like a bucket of ice water poured from his head to his feet, instantly chilling him to the bone.

The stone statue slowly approached, its gaze fixed intently on Duan Libie:

"Not permitted."

"Dog! Dog!"

He cursed twice in anger, then rushed up the stairs without looking back.

Now that he's here, no one can drag him back!

Feeling the overwhelming pressure behind him, Duan Libie sped away with all his might, his legs almost whipping up a gust of wind.

He ran wildly, the stone statue getting closer and closer. Just as he was sweating profusely, he suddenly caught sight of a platform in front of him.

A group of figures were standing on the platform.

The sudden separation left me completely bewildered.

what happened?

Why are there so many people?

……

Lin Jiang caught a glimpse of the group of statues following closely behind Duan Libie, and then looked at Li Jinyue standing not far away in the sea of ​​corpses, catching a hint of amusement on her lips.

"Tsk."

Having just escaped a perilous situation of being attacked from both sides, it has somehow come full circle and returned to square one.

This time, however, the situation is even more complicated.

Although Li Jinyue has many incarnations, most of them have lost their rationality and will only rush towards her like a raging tide. If one is determined to escape, it will not be difficult.

However, if attacked from both sides, and given the profound spiritual power of these statues, it would be truly difficult to withstand them.

When the lead stone sculpture's eyes flashed with a sharp light, the surrounding inky space suddenly distorted, and lanterns and fireflies like stars appeared in the distance, flowing and converging.

The stone statue parted its lips and murmured softly:
“You should all be ashamed.”

Lin Jiang was completely unaware of the effects of the Cleansing Elixir, but everyone around him immediately lowered their heads, and even Yu Wenyun and Li Fuqi, who had the highest cultivation levels, almost burst into tears.

He hurriedly tossed Jing Wuchen into the air, then quickly distributed one to everyone:
"Eat this pill."

Those around felt a moment of disorientation, then realized what was happening.

Without hesitation, Li Fuqi put the pill in his mouth, then took out a mirror from his robes and pointed it directly at the stone statue:

"Let me see what you really look like?"

A stone sculpture instantly appeared in the mirror, rapidly emerging from it and growing to the same size in the blink of an eye.

The two clashed suddenly, and at the moment of impact, a ripple spread through the air. The darkness of the entire valley was like a boundless ocean tossed with stones, creating towering waves in all directions.

A sudden gust of wind arose from nowhere, scattering the lanterns floating in the air.

But this only held one back.

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Jiang reached out and touched the belt around Yu Wenyun's waist.

Immediately, he activated the Freedom technique, and the belt snapped in two.

Yu Wenyun felt the previously blocked Qi in his body instantly become unobstructed, and each breath brought with it a scorching heat like flames.

He looked at Lin Jiang in surprise, but after catching Lin Jiang's gaze, his face once again fell with that unchanging faint smile:

"Young master, rest assured, I will risk my life to get you away safely."

“You don’t need to risk your life.” Lin Jiang pondered for a moment. “I urgently need time. Hold him off for ten breaths.”

"We will definitely fulfill our mission!"

He originally only wanted to try out the methods of returning home and the coffin, but the little golden figure in the palace stopped him in time. At that time, the situation was critical, and Lin Jiang did not have time to ask the reason. However, both of these methods originated from the immortal mountain. Now that he was in the immortal mountain, if he used them rashly, it was very likely that someone would tamper with the teleportation destination.

As for one's own Qi, if one goes all out to unleash the Illusionary Realm, it should be able to slow down the surging sea of ​​corpses behind.

The only problem is where to turn back.

Lin Jiang had to ask the little golden man.

He swiftly entered his inner vision and directly located the small golden figure:
"Where does the power source of these stone sculptures lie? How can we decipher it?"

The little golden figures were all crooked and disorganized, but the leader remained relatively calm. He immediately asked Liu Fangyue to bring him paper and pen and began writing rapidly on them.

A moment later, he held it up for Lin Jiang to see.

Lin Jiang noticed this and frowned.

How was this stone carving made?
