Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 432 Tianmian
Lin Jiang sat on the outermost window, his head tilted to the side, gazing at the distant scenery, the dazzling lights reflected in his eyes.

The city still shines brightly at night, and people can see some towering buildings in the distance.

Perhaps because of its age, the buildings here are always shrouded in a hazy mist. Lin Jiang stared intently for a long time, but his gaze could not penetrate the thin mist.

Therefore, from this perspective, Lin Jiang could not clearly see the distant scenery.

Only vaguely visible through the fog, the towering buildings adorned with lights were so bright that when Lin Jiang looked at them, he seemed to see his former hometown in a daze.

His emotions were stirred at that moment.

However, when the automatically cruised stone statue he was controlling drifted past the window not far away, Lin Jiang's chaotic thoughts instantly sank to the bottom of his heart.

The nights of the past must have been as lively as Lin Jiang's hometown; once people gained control of the light, they gradually extended their time to the night, from dawn until late at night.

Looking back at the room he was in, Lin Jiang realized that there were many houses here, so he didn't have to squeeze in with Yu Wenyun. The two of them happened to be living in rooms opposite each other.

The architectural style here is similar to what Lin Jiang remembers as "ancient". Most of the furniture is carved from an unknown type of wood, but there are also many unique devices of nature scattered among them, giving it a strange and trendy feel.

Lin Jiang approached several devices that clearly had a screen-like structure and gently poked them with his finger.

No response.

“These are our magical implements,” Yu Chang explained in Lin Jiang’s inner vision palace. “Most of them are tools needed when studying the mysteries of the Tao.”

"really?"

"really."

As Yu Chang finished speaking, the girl he was controlling subtly glanced upwards.

It looked like it was saying, "This ceiling is really the ceiling."

Lin Jiang estimated that when the Celestials were annihilated, a group of people would rush into the room in a panic, just to erase the traces of their browsing of history.

These tools have been neglected for a long time and are obviously no longer functional. Lin Jiang could only regretfully give up his idea of ​​trying to find out what the Celestials used them for back then.

Not wanting to think about these things for the time being, Lin Jiang simply raised his palm.

There was a very noticeable gold patch on the side of his palm.

That was the flesh and blood that Li Jinyue had cut off with her magic back then, which Lin Jiang had replenished with his magic.

He was not yet clear on what method Li Jinyue had used, but it did not seem to be a cultivation method in the conventional sense.

After all, even Zhao Liulang's Wu Zizai could only break through Lin Jiang's skin.

And it can grow back very quickly.

He began to carefully consider his own abilities.

He's almost at the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm.

Now, only one more breath is needed to fully master the six energies.

Having cultivated to this point, Lin Jiang could clearly feel that his physical condition had changed significantly compared to before.

In addition to exhaling these five breaths, a rather subtle balance was achieved within his body. They flowed like water through his meridians, originating from his inner palace, flowing to his limbs and bones, and then returning.

Lin Jiang could clearly sense that something was missing.

If he could take another step forward and master the final element of fire, he should be able to directly break through to the next realm.

In fact, Lin Jiang wasn't quite sure whether his next realm would be called "Pointing Stars".

After all, given the current situation, even if Yu Wenyun were to fight him again, the other party might not be able to gain any advantage from him.

Lin Jiang really couldn't say for sure what path the "golden body" provided by the little golden statue would take.

However, his cultivation mainly relies on food and drink, and this place only has a lot of expired food. He wants to find that kind of Qi with extremely high energy...

It was indeed a bit of a struggle.

But Lin Jiang was a little confused when he got here.

Where does Li Jinyue get so much Qi?

It's impossible for a large number of avatars to be created without any cost, and according to those around her, she's not quite mentally stable yet.

How could one obtain such a vast amount of Qi through one's own cultivation?
Something always feels wrong.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiang directly told Yu Chang about his doubts.

"Tianmian. The place the master mentioned is called Tianmian."

Yu Changdao:
“We once came here on a sky shuttle that spanned the sky. The sky shuttle cannot be discarded at will. This entire dojo is transformed from the sky shuttle, and the source of the sky shuttle's energy is also the core of the dojo, which is called Tianmian.”

At this point, Yu Chang paused slightly:
"According to the master, if you can reach that place, you might be able to absorb all the Qi within the Heavenly Restoration for your own use. In this way, you can both cut off Li Jinyue's subsequent methods and render the protection of the Daoist temple ineffective. At that time, you should be able to leave through here, but..."

"Is there any danger over there?"

“There will definitely be danger.” Yu Chang sighed softly. “Li Jinyue has been entrenched here for many years. Does she not know the weight of Tianmian? If we go straight there, we will most likely run into her avatar and be blocked.”

"That's fine," Lin Jiang waved his hand and said, "We won't solve anything by just sitting here anyway, so we might as well go and investigate. If it really works, we can wipe it out in one fell swoop and prevent it from continuing to be a menace."

After resting in the room for a while, Lin Jiang and Yu Wenyun met in the main hall on the first floor.

There were no normal changes in light and shadow here, and the two of them were not sure how long they had rested, only that half a day had passed.

Afterwards, Lin Jiang told Yu Wenyun about it directly. Yu Wenyun naturally didn't care; he would definitely follow Lin Jiang wherever he went.

Upon hearing Lin Jiang's plan, the incarnations of Li Jinyue showed varying degrees of surprise on their faces.

The other women all showed hesitation, but the one with the strongest temper looked eager to try it out.

"Haha! You're one of those people who actually has eggs!"

“I made this suggestion a long time ago, but these women kept making excuses and we missed a great opportunity.”

"You've already been there?"

"Of course, this place isn't that big, but it's not that small either. We've been trapped here for so many years, where haven't we been? We've been everywhere!"

The somewhat impulsive woman waved her hand:
"But it is indeed quite dangerous over there. The crazy woman's other side has set up a lot of protective measures. If we force our way through, they will definitely find us. I led people to break through a few times before, and many people died there."

Upon hearing this, the gentle woman couldn't help but sigh deeply.
“I’ve mentioned this before. I told you that with your current level of cultivation, many people would die if you tried to go there, but you just wouldn’t listen…”

"So what if we die?" The enraged version of Li Jinyue scoffed. "Do you really think we're alive in this state? Pieces of ourselves peeled from the body of a madwoman, barely clinging to life in this city that has been dead for years. Haha! This way of living is truly wonderful!"

The gentle woman hesitated, then was interrupted once again by a barrage of words:

"Besides, do you think we can survive if we really kill that madwoman? As her followers and her incarnations, if her true form dies, how can we possibly survive alone?"

She pounded her forehead heavily:

"I possess complete knowledge of incarnations in my memory. Before arriving here and before studying the primordial fog, her research in the field of incarnations was by no means superficial. I know exactly how incarnations operate and what kind of mistakes can occur. Do I need to explain it in detail again?"

The gentle woman kept quiet.

Once the original body dies, the avatar can never survive either.

"I just want to... think of a way for us all to survive..."

"If you want to find a way to survive, then go ahead and do it."

The woman stood up and walked to Lin Jiang's side:
"I'll go with you this time."

"According to you, if it's really dangerous over there, you might be a bit of a hindrance."

"Damn it, you think I'm holding you back?" the woman said with a laugh, showing no displeasure with Lin Jiang's attitude.

“Although my skills are not as high as yours, I have been there several times and have teetered on the brink of death many times. I am very familiar with the terrain. If I take you there, it will avoid a lot of trouble. Besides, if anything goes wrong and that woman comes knocking on our door, you can just throw me in there. Wouldn't that be perfect?”

Lin Jiang pondered for a moment and realized that the key was that the other person knew the way.

Although Yu Chang knew the way, he hadn't been to this place for many years, so he couldn't possibly know what changes had occurred around the core area.

This woman's presence can indeed solve many problems.

"Okay, but you must not rush when you see Li Jinyue. This time, the main focus should be on entering the core."

The woman scratched her head:

"I try my best."

……

Led by the woman, Lin Jiang quickly led several stone statues toward Tianmian.

This time, other Li Jinyue wanted to come, but they were all rejected by that hot-tempered one.

This problem can't be solved by simply having more people.

These statues, along with Lin Jiang and Yu Wenyun, are sufficient to serve as guards.

Following the dark and deep path, they passed long-abandoned rooms and came to a fork in the road. Yu Chang said they should go left, but the woman pulled Lin Jiang and the others to the right.

Finally, they crossed a collapsed road and, after breaking through a wall made of solidified flesh and blood, Lin Jiang and his companions arrived at a vast space filled with a stench.

This place is like a spacious hall, but inside it is filled with piles of flesh and blood: there are on the walls, on the floor, and even one or two hanging from the towering ceiling that is hard to reach.

The ground was paved with flat stones, on which pools of water, emitting a pungent stench, were accumulated. It was unclear whether the liquid was blood or something else.

The main entrance, which served as the main gate, was blocked by a thick, tall mass of flesh and blood, making the side entrances seem like a completely different story.

If you had listened to Yu Chang and walked that way, you probably would have only seen a thick wall of flesh.

Looking at this strange place, Lin Jiang looked around, but he didn't see Li Jinyue's shadow.

So they simply led the stone statues forward slowly.

After he left, the flesh and blood clinging to the wall seemed to come alive again, immediately blocking the exit.

These fleshy creatures slowly writhed, like a crimson wave, rising with the tide and following behind Lin Jiang and his companions.
