Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 437 Who am I?

Li Jinyue's flesh and blood completely disintegrated and could no longer be maintained.

She completely collapsed, turning into a pile of rotten flesh.

It trembled for a moment before solidifying again.

However, it was not Li Jinyue who appeared this time.

It was a donkey.

It looks exactly like the one with the donkey's head.

The woman hiding behind Yu Wenyun not far away was also visibly stunned when she saw Li Jinyue disappear. She subconsciously reached out and touched her own body, only to find that her body had not disappeared.

This?
The woman could vaguely sense that Li Jinyue seemed to have truly vanished, but why was she alright?
She possessed almost all of Li Jinyue's knowledge about incarnations, all of which stated that the incarnation would also disappear after the original body died.

The woman's thoughts had just drifted to this point when she suddenly felt a sharp pain deep within her brain.

Along with it came some memories she had never had before.

She feels...

I feel like I'm undergoing some indescribable changes.

I am gradually transforming from an incarnation into "Li Jinyue"!
This?
She felt a little dazed and confused when she suddenly heard the donkey-headed man chuckle softly not far away:
"Don't be surprised. Over the years, that lump of flesh has been expelling its incarnations one by one from its body, tearing its three souls and seven spirits, along with its consciousness, to pieces. What constitutes an incarnation depends on who the will is. Compared to a lump of rotten flesh without a subject, do you think she is an incarnation, or are you an incarnation?"

The woman covered her forehead and knelt on the ground, large drops of cold sweat streaming down her face.

She gritted her teeth and stared intently at the donkey's head in front of her:
"Then what are you?"

"I?"

Upon hearing this question, Donkey Head's tone involuntarily rose slightly:

"I am a Taoist who moves mountains. I have traveled all over the country and collected some wonderful Taoist treasures."

The voice at this moment is male.

"I am the will of the first Star Pointer who was oppressed by you. We all died on the battlefield, and our blood mingled with the surrounding coffins and flowed into this body."

The donkey's head sound then transformed into a neutral, reverberant one.

“I am Li Jinyue. Part of her is in that coffin. It’s just a pity that I didn’t inherit much knowledge, only some memories.”

The voice then changed to a woman's voice.

"I am the immortal you speak of."

Finally, the donkey's voice returned to its original tone:

"To be precise, its internal structure is the same as the rotten flesh that just perished."

"We are all wills that arise so that the soul may return to the body."

"We are all beings that exist to bring the body back to life."

"Tell me, what am I?"

The woman thought for a moment, then scolded earnestly:
"You have such a damn mouth!"

"Sigh, I think you should really work on your temper. You shouldn't be like this..."

No sooner had Donkey Head finished speaking than a heavy punch came from not far away, striking his body hard.

The moment he was hit, the upper half of the donkey-headed man's body exploded, along with his Taoist robe.

His lower body swayed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

Even the hood on its face grew back.

Yu Wenyun withdrew his fist, a stiff smile on his face, staring intently at the donkey-headed man:
"Ever since you left Daxing, we have been searching for you with great difficulty. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have become the criminal who stormed the palace."

After saying that, Yu Wenyun punched the donkey's head hard again.

Donkey Head neither dodged nor evaded; the punch struck his body, and he instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist and exploded.

Yu Wenyun could clearly feel that the uncomfortable aura was still there.

Not far away, the sea of ​​flesh brought by Li Jinyue suddenly throbbed. Those bodies that looked exactly like Li Jinyue began to twist and swell, swelling into fleshy balls before exploding with a bang.

Donkeys crawled out of the crowd, and wherever they stepped, flesh and blood turned into green grass.

The fishy stench slowly dissipated, replaced by a fresh, earthy fragrance.

On the back of the last, slightly larger donkey, the donkey's head sat leisurely to the side, glancing sideways at Yu Wenyun, and sighed:
"Old Yu, we've known each other for several years now. You've always been the same, loyal to the General, loyal to Emperor Daxing, and now you've become his follower. When and where will you finally be able to stand up for yourself?"

"When and where have I failed to make my own decisions?"

Yu Wenyun sneered:

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, leading the people of the world to build the Great Xing, allowing them to live a life of good weather and abundant harvests; I submit to Your Majesty so that more people can live better lives. The young master has gone to great lengths to save this world, and I submit to him so that I can protect the empire I have built over the past sixty years."

“General…” Yu Wenyun’s stiff smile slowly faded, his brows furrowed, and anger flashed in his eyes:

"If it weren't for you, General Zhennan, who protects the country and whose military strategies far surpass mine, why would I bother fighting against him? It would be better for me to join his army!"

Donkey Head listened and remained silent for a long time:
“I truly do not understand how someone like you, who always follows the crowd, could cultivate such profound Taoist skills.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenyun visibly fell silent for a moment.

Finally, that stiff smile returned to his face:
"Some of our predecessors braved fire to retrieve a lamp and walked on foot; others trudged through vines to chop wood in the mountains. Aren't we all walking on the paths of others? What's wrong with following in their footsteps?"

"Do you really think so?"

"Anyway, the Forest Guardian is surely acting in the best interests of the people."

Yu Wenyun was too lazy to continue arguing with Donkey Head. He suddenly got into a fighting stance and faced Donkey Head directly.

Although he did not utter a word, his body was already as majestic as a mountain.

At this moment, as long as he remains here, nothing can get past him or disturb Lin Jiang in the slightest. This is what it means to be a protector.

From behind him, the woman who had just recovered her senses staggered to her feet and stood in front of Yu Wenyun.

She was still covering her forehead, blood gushing from her nostrils, her eyes glazed over.

However, she still stubbornly stood shoulder to shoulder with Yu Wenyun, forcing herself to stay upright.

"Why don't you go and rest over there?" Yu Wenyun glanced at the swaying woman.

"If you fucking die, I won't be able to live either..."

The woman muttered something to herself.

The donkey-headed man stared at the two with his hollow, collapsed eyes:

“I think you two may have misunderstood. I have no intention of taking your lives. As I mentioned before, in addition to the consciousness of the resurrected immortals, I also possess the consciousness of the original star. They stood up to protect themselves, so I am not too willing to attack you.”

Having said this, Donkey Head raised his head high, his gaze fixed on Lin Jiang in the sky:

"And don't you think that this body in heaven is truly the most suitable for that soul outside?"

Yu Wenyun suddenly realized what was happening and looked up at Lin Jiang, only to find that the energy flowing from Tianmian had completely enveloped and covered his body.

At this moment, Donkey Head reached out and carefully removed his hood.

Beneath the donkey's face was a face as rotten as mud.

Its teeth were bared and protruding, its eyes were empty and lifeless, and its dry flesh and skin had a dull, rotten color.

"Initially, I didn't actually regard him as the vessel of an immortal's body. I just thought of him as a small mistake, a mistake that an old man made desperately to save his grandson."

"But later, this young master who appeared out of nowhere displayed a power I had never seen before, as if..."

"The Way of Heaven stands beside him."

"But Heaven's will, the Heaven's will in this world is not to help you live, but to find a home for your original souls."

"Being recognized by the Heavenly Dao and following its will means that the Heavenly Dao regards him as the best vessel and the most capable carrier of the immortal's soul."

"Under his guidance, he went to Lanke, and I followed closely behind; after learning that he had developed an interest in the Immortal Mountain, I felt relieved."

“I know he will eventually reach the Immortal Mountain. And once trapped there, he will face a sixty-year confinement.”

"Within this sixty-year period, he will eventually reach Tianmian in various ways."

"With the vast Qi source of Tianmian, I can use the Daoist arts to summon the souls of immortals!"

Yu Wenyun felt a chill in his heart. Ignoring everything else, he suddenly rushed towards Lin Jiang in the air.

However, Lin Jiang was already enveloped in a dense white light. The moment Yu Wenyun's fists touched the white light, he was struck as if by a heavy hammer and fell from mid-air, crashing heavily to the ground.

Yu Wenyun looked down and found that his arms had completely disappeared.

“Yu Wenyun, your skills are far too lacking; you cannot stop all of this.”

The donkey-headed creature proudly spread its arms wide, as if embracing the victory that was about to be itss:
"The soul will eventually return..."

His words suddenly caught in his throat.

Donkey Head's entire body stiffened instantly.

He suddenly stared at Lin Jiang, a hint of disbelief and doubt in his voice:

"The Dharma has no Heavenly Way? This..."

"besides……

"Li Jinyue??"

Donkey Head seemed to sense something slowly emerging from the depths of Tianmian.
